~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ma Han led fifty horsemen to rush out of the crossing between the two mountains, and the scene in front of him surprised everyone.
Wolves! Dense gray wolves, black wolves, and green wolves were all over the fertile field, and the wolf howl made the legs and stomachs turn around, and the war horses under the crotch also retreated in horror, and the gray and neighed uneasily.
If you sit on the top of the mountain and look down, you can see the wolf's head in a concentric circle, with white teeth, roaring at a tall camphor tree that two people hug. Between the branches and leaves of the trees, arrows were shot from time to time. Each arrow is an arrow, or through the wolf's head, or through the wolf's body, the strength is fierce, and the arrow is not missing.
The gray wolf who fell to the ground with an arrow let out a mournful roar, and before he was completely dead, he was swarmed by his own kind and devoured and bitten, but after a cup of tea, there was only a skeleton left, as clean as if it had been washed with water...... More wolves fluttered around the trunk, their sharp teeth leaving countless marks and biting cracks on the trunk. From a distance, the trunk of the tree is five feet below, as if it has been eaten by insects.
Although they were far away, the breath of life brought by Ma Han and his entourage, drifting away with the wind, still aroused the vigilance of the wolves. A pair of yellow-green eyes swept over, cold and gloomy, and it made people hairy. The hairy head was stained with clumps of blood, the wings of the nose opened and closed, spewing a fishy breath, and the grinning mouth dripping with a viscous liquid mixed with blood and saliva, and the remnants of minced flesh were clearly visible between the teeth.
Tang Nu and the other white wolf horsemen were also warriors who had gone through bloody battles, but when they saw the scene in front of them, their scalps were still numb, and the knuckles of their fingers holding the bow were all white. In this situation, they couldn't help but deeply admire the archer who stood in the treetops and shot the evil wolf - leading the wolf alone and fighting a hundred beasts alone, which required a lot of courage and strong self-confidence.
The horse warrior led fifty white wolf horsemen to fight, the original intention was to let the white wolf horsemen attract the wolves and facilitate their own actions, but now that they looked, they didn't need it, and there was already a cow man who did it for them, and the wolves were firmly attracted. Ma Han quickly adjusted his plan and ordered Tang Nu to lead the white wolf to lay a net ten miles away, and once the wolves broke up, they would be surrounded and annihilated. The horseman jumped off his horse, took off his two bows, and jumped on another horse carrying two large bags of arrows.
There are 500 arrows in these two big bags of arrows, including pure iron arrows, wolf tooth arrows, three-edged arrows, white feather arrows and other light and heavy arrows, weighing more than 100 catties, which are connected together by two thick ropes. Ma Han held the five-stone bow in his hand, carried the Demon Pupil Bow, and held the sword and axe at his waist, and made a gesture to Tang Nu for immediate action. Then he slapped the horse's rump and rushed towards a grove of trees behind the wolves near the foot of the mountain.
Under the nervous gaze of Tang Nu and the other white wolf horsemen, they saw the city guard twitch the horse's buttocks fiercely, and gradually approached the woods. At this time, it finally attracted the attention of the wolves, and dozens of gray wolves roared and rushed over. By this time the horse was so frightened that he couldn't catch up with the whip and spurs.
Ma Han quickly jumped off his horse, took the arrow, saddled it on his back, and rushed with all his strength towards the woods thirty paces away. When he reached the edge of the woods, the wolves that pounced on him were less than thirty paces. Ma Han directly threw the two large bags of arrows towards the nearest branch, and the bag was thrown and hung firmly on the branch. Then he jumped up, with five fingers like a hook and ten fingers alternately, climbing the tree as easily as a tanuki.
As soon as the feet were retracted, the claws of a gray wolf rushed over as quickly as possible, snap! Leaves three deep claw marks on the trunk. Look at the poor colt, kneeling on the ground, crawling with wolves......
The white wolf riders let out a long sigh and put their minds at ease, as long as the city guards the trees, these evil wolves will wait to die! When the next greeting, the horse slapped away like the wind.
The horse took his bow in his hand, and put his arrows on the string, but he was not in a hurry to shoot the wolf, he squinted slightly, and stared at the figure of a faint figure in the thick green shadow two hundred paces away—it was indeed a man, his body half hidden behind a tree, and only his bow-wielding left shoulder and half of his side face were exposed. It was too far away, and there were dense foliage to hide it, and the light between the treetops was dim, so it was impossible to see it really, but it was a man from the angular outline.
When Ma Han stared at the other party, the frequency of shooting in the treetops in the distance also paused, and Ma Han also felt that the other party also glanced at him. Of course, neither of them could see each other's appearances clearly.
Ma Han smiled slightly, and suddenly shouted: "Brother opposite, after killing for half a day, you are also tired, rest for a while, let me come!" After speaking, he raised his hand and an arrow pierced the throat of the wolf that was jumping happily under the tree, and the bloody arrow pierced through the back of his head.
With this arrow as the starting point, the bowstring of the horse is resounding frequently, like flowing water, one arrow after another, as if strung into a line. The former wolf had just been nailed to the ground by an arrow, and the other wolf that had jumped into the air was thrown backwards by the arrow almost at the same time, and fell heavily to the ground.
In less than ten breaths, the more than 30 vicious wolves that chased and bit were all slaughtered, and the wolf corpses were all over the field, and even the same kind did not have time to devour the meat.
The shooter on the opposite tree was probably also stunned, and did not respond for a long time.
Instead of frightening the wolves, the stormy shooting of the horses caused the wolves to become furious, and all the hula rushed towards him.
"Well done! I'm not afraid of you coming, I'm afraid of you running! Ma Han opened his mouth and bit the shaft of an arrow, then reached out and pulled out an arrow, held it in the palm of his hand, and the movement of pulling the arrow with his right hand was as fast as a phantom, almost no need to aim, one arrow was accurate.
Some vicious wolves just jumped in the air, and they were pierced through the abdomen by an arrow, and the blood line was like an arc; Some wolves were crucified to the ground with an arrow from top to bottom; Some were broken by arrows, and could not die for a while, but were eaten alive by their own kind; Some of them just opened their bloody mouths to demonstrate to the trees, but an arrow came from their mouths, and the arrows came out of their mouths......
The five-stone bow can shoot at a target within fifty paces, and it is so dense that Ma Han does not need to aim at all, and he can do the arrow without missing a shot just by feeling it. He felt that after the battle of Baizhang Gorge, his archery skills had improved significantly, and he had reached the realm of "hand aiming" without eye aiming. And only when you reach this realm, you can shoot fast and accurately, and you can be called a real storm shooter.
No matter how fast the horse shot or how dense the wolves were, he always shot arrow after arrow, not one double or three arrows as the legend says. Shooting with two or three arrows at the same time sounds very cool, but it's actually pure. You shoot two arrows, you don't even know where the arrows will go, even if you are given two fixed targets, one shot and two arrows can't even touch the edge, let alone shoot two irregularly moving targets. Not to mention the primitive weapon of the bow and arrow, even if you have a big sniper in one hand, it is impossible to shoot two targets at the same time.
When Ma Hao shot a hundred arrows, the wolf corpses on the ground were layered on top of each other, and the originally dense wolf pack was much more sparse. Many wolves were already hanging their tails and whining, slowly spreading out and retreating. Ferocious as a wolf, he also began to feel afraid.
At this moment, Ma Han discovered a green wolf with a difference. This wolf was originally mixed in the wolf pack and was not easy to find, but the wolves scattered and it stood out. But I saw that it was huge, with slender jaws, strong limbs, blue and gray hair, and gray and cold wolf eyes, revealing a bloodthirsty ferocity.
"Wolf King!" Ma Han's instinct told him that this was the leader of this pack of evil wolves.
Shoot it, the wolves will collapse, and the remaining hundred or so beasts will be left to Tangnu and them to clean up.
Ma Han immediately drew a three-edged heavy arrow and aimed at the big green wolf a hundred paces away.
The wolf king also seemed to feel the danger, constantly interspersing among the wolves, and the running route was also sudden left and right, erratic.
Suddenly, the wolf king leapt to his feet to avoid the tall stacked wolf corpses in front of him. But at this moment, two arrow shadows flew out from among the leafy treetops at the same time, traversing a hundred paces, almost in no particular order, and penetrated into the huge head of the wolf king.
Blood burst out, and wolves howled like weeps.
The wolf king is killed, and the wolves are defeated.
