Chapter 253: The Blood of the Source of the Haliutu River (1)

The source of the Haliutu River is a fertile land with dense aquatic plants and swamps, where there are always countless herds of animals, especially in spring and summer, when many young beasts that have just been born for a short time are playing excitedly around their parents.

Yellow sheep, gazelles, hares, and even some unnamed animals live together peacefully. The surface of the fat, glutinous and black soil that had been eroded and blended by the decay of thousands of years was the weeds and shrubs that were so vigorous that even the chewing of wild beasts could not stop them.

Every now and then, a gopher with glossy fur arches out from beneath the ground, looking around vigilantly, shoving the berries hanging from the low bushes into its mouth and munching quickly to fill their stomachs, which seem to never be filled.

In the sky, there are always beautiful birds of different colors soaring or wandering on the water surface of different shapes and sizes, and the crisp birdsong, the hissing of wild beasts, and the rustle of the blades of the weeds rubbed by the wind, make everything here seem so peaceful and quiet.

Even those fierce beasts that hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to hunt, couldn't help but yawn and squinted peacefully. As if at this moment, they couldn't bear to spoil the beautiful scenery of this scene.

However, not long after, the birds that were flying freely and happily in the sky, as if frightened, flew swiftly towards the west and south of the swamp, and the originally elegant and bright chirping also revealed a certain sense of panic.

And the beasts that wandered around the fat swamp began to look a little restless, shaking their dexterous ears as if listening to the unusual noises around them, and calling out to the young beasts with a rapid roar.

And the blue sky and white clouds that were originally as calm as a mirror began to ripple in the water. And the young branches and green leaves of the shrubs and weeds began to tremble slightly.

The beasts that had been comfortably hiding in the shadows had already widened their eyes vigilantly, stretched out their sturdy bodies from the hiding place, sniffed the unusual breath coming from the air, as if they felt something, the beasts in the bushes let out a low roar of unwillingness and resentment, jumped out of their hiding places, just like those herbivores, rushed towards the depths of the swamp in a hurry, and even provoked some of the beasts that were still wandering and hesitating in the swamp area were also frightened and scattered.

-------------------- and the originally blue sky dome seemed to be gradually obscured by a faint yellow smoke, and the faint rumbling sound was getting closer and closer, and a bold gray crane stretched its neck hard and looked towards the northeast, and in the pair of black pupils, a long inky black line appeared on the horizon where the original green and blue meet, just like the dark black flood, spreading rapidly towards this side...... The black line gradually revealed their prototype, it was a knight wearing a black leather robe and armor, and wearing a round iron helmet with a circle of pure white wool on his head, nearly 10,000 knights of the tile spur wantonly indulged in the good horses under them, galloping on this fat and empty plain, from time to time, there would always be sharp-eyed riders, and when they found the prey in the grass in a hurry, there would be several, or even a dozen sharp arrows, to shoot the unlucky little animal to the ground.

At such times, a knight would show his great riding skills, increase his horse's speed, rush to the dying prey, hang his whole body at the side of the horse, and then reach out and scoop up the prey, raise it in his hand, and provoke the cheers or laughter of his companions.

And the gray crane seemed to notice that its situation was not good, just spread its powerful wings, and was about to rise at the moment when a carved arrow suddenly broke through the air, easily penetrating the gray feathers on its body and piercing its skin, and then, from its back, through the bloodstained hideous arrow, the gray crane could only let out a hoarse and desperate scream, helplessly flapping the wings that had lost its strength, and fell helplessly and desperately from the sky.

Its death was accompanied by the cheers of thousands of Knights of the Tile Thorns. And a well-armored tile spur knight galloped over, picked up the gray crane that had not yet breathed, and then turned the reins of the horse, towards the pace that had slowed down, surrounded by countless tile spur knights in front of him wearing a bright yellow armor, the supreme ruler of the tile spur empire, who called himself the grand khan of Dayuantian, also galloped away first...... "Alechu, how is Ben Khan's archery?" Slowly flicking the bowstring, with a look of unfinished expression on his face, he watched the knight raise the prey he had shot with his own hands, and was quite satisfied that he could hunt in such weather, and that his first arrow could shoot a bird, which was definitely a good sign.

"The Great Khan's skills are still so agile, your archery skills really make the ministers sigh......" Fang Cai also raised his bow and pulled the bowstring, but Ah Lechu, who was half a beat slower, said with a look of regret and sadness.

Hearing this, the joy on his face couldn't help but increase a little more, and he laughed brightly: "Okay, my Lord Pingzhang, the next prey, I can let you strike first, but if you can't shoot, then don't blame me for being polite." ”

Ah Le Chu put on a look of excitement and expectation, but in fact, how could Ah Le Chu, who has led the army to fight outside all the year round, not be as good as Ye Xian, but today, such a hunt, Ah Le Chu will naturally not steal the limelight as the supreme ruler of the Tile Thorn Empire.

What's more, today's Yexian is no longer the Taishi who still knows how to unite the forces around him and how to make everyone get enough benefits a few years ago.

Alechu is a smart man, and because he is a smart man, he has always maintained a modest and low-key style in front of Yexian.

-------------------- coupled with his excellent military talent, he was able to become the general of the Dzungar tribe that was most valued by Yexian when Na Ara's was gradually alienated.

Unsatisfied, he first reined in his mount at the edge of the swamp, and after looking at his surroundings with great interest, he gave the latest order: "This is the source of the Haliutu River, let the children spread out, and when the sun is above us, I will see every child come back happily with prey in his hand." Go, Dzungar warriors! ”

Hearing Yexian's command, the knights of the Tile Thorns, who had not been able to shoot their own hunters, could not help but cheer, and their horses scattered around this swamp like gray-black locusts, eroding into this originally quiet and peaceful green.

What no one noticed was that in the bushes of a hill in the distance, a knight of the lord Erqing who was holding a telescope of the kind that had appeared in Zhu Qizhen's hand slowly withdrew from the bushes, and then turned around and ran towards the back of the hillock.

Not far behind the hill was a hidden low-lying area, where thousands of heavily armed knights of the Lord were nervously and anxiously looking out toward the small hill to the northeast.

When they saw the figure that was stumbling and crawling, the knights of the Lord Erqing, who were originally as quiet as stagnant water, couldn't help but feel agitated.

"Coming?!" Ara, who had been sitting cross-legged on a piece of felt, seemingly calmly closing his eyes and recuperating, felt the strangeness of the soldiers around him, and suddenly opened his eyes, and also saw the figure of the soldier who was sent to reconnoitre, Aro couldn't help but take a deep breath, stood up, and reached out to hold the handle of the knife at his waist.

After listening to the soldier's report, Ah Ra couldn't help but have a crazy smile on his face, and his eyes swept over the generals around him who were also too excited to help themselves, grinding their fists.

Ah Ra slapped his big hand on the soldier's shoulder, glanced at the monocular he was holding tightly in his hand, and couldn't help but smile and said, "From now on, you are my personal centurion, and this treasure belongs to you." My good boy, I hope you will be able to use it in the future to bring more gospel to our lords. ”

In the grateful voice of the ecstatic soldier, Ah Ra turned over and jumped on the horse's back, slowly pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and his gaze slowly swept over the elite of the Zhuerqing clan in this low-lying land, his voice was calm and powerful. "Children, get on your horses, take up your scimitars, and now, for our lord Erqing, for the Dzungar department, for the whole steppe, all the descendants of the blue wolf and the white deer, to the pseudo-khan of the Russ clan, and ask for justice! Blow the trumpet! ”

"Call upon us the name of the Dzungar god of war, King Gesar! (Historical facts, the Dzungar Ministry's charging slogan is this thing)" The snow-bright scimitar in Ala's hand was raised high into the sky, and then, slashed down fiercely, like a lightning bolt under a clear sky, and after that, thousands of elites of the Lord Erqing clan let out the same roar. Following the back of Na Ara, waving the scimitar in his hand, urging the mount on his body, he rushed towards the northeast, where the supreme ruler of the Tile Thorn Empire was...... And the desolate sound of the horn echoed leisurely in the fertile water and meadows in the upper reaches of the Haliutu River, and around this green, more than 30,000 knights in earthy yellow armor rushed towards the black dots scattered evenly scattered on the green field, like several torrents......
