Chapter 225: Hyenas
Although the scene was chaotic, under the organization of Chu Xingchen and other cadres, an orderly defense work was still launched.
There are a lot of people left here, except for the villagers of the various transport teams, they are the people of the racecourse, Chu Xingchen gathered all the young and strong people here and put them in the outer circle to prepare for the battle.
The rest of the people are responsible for pacifying the cattle and horses. You must know that horses are the most easily frightened, and once they are frightened, they run around and rush around, which is very harmful.
Zhuo Yan pulled the dark horse and the black mountain horse to his side, nervously watching the battle situation.
The people in the horse farm brought shotguns, but Chu Xingchen didn't let them shoot, and once they shot, the horses might be frightened.
"Swap your shotguns for torches, and you'd better scare off these beasts!" Chu Xingchen ordered loudly.
When the people at the scene heard Chu Xingchen say this, they immediately complied, and the most important thing at the moment was to have the same hatred for the enemy.
However, to everyone's surprise, those wolves were not afraid of torches, and in the night, they were still approaching quickly and nimbly, and only after they got close did the big guys see their reddish-brown fur clearly.
"It's not a wolf, it's a hyena!" Immediately, someone exclaimed.
Hyenas are a kind of vicious beasts, they are the best at **, usually eat carrion, the reason why they appear here, I am afraid it is because of the accident on the train, which caused casualties.
Hyenas are more terrifying than wolves, in the face of the dotted torches, they are not afraid, they cross and speed up one by one, and the speed is very fast towards the crowd, Chu Xingchen has no choice, so he has to order the people in the front row to shoot.
You must know that it is better not to shoot now, not because of the distress of the hyena, but because there are too many horses at the scene, and the horses are easily frightened when they hear the gunshots.
The guns used now are all old-fashioned shotguns, which shoot iron sand, and after a while of riding and shooting, the hyenas who rushed to the front row were suddenly shot and rolled to the ground.
What everyone didn't expect was that these guys didn't retreat, but after being shot, they pounced in the other direction.
In the other direction, it happened to be the fine willow camp where Zhuo Yan was.
This time, the transport team that followed Zhuo Yan out was itself a person who picked the rest of the people, although they were not old, weak, sick or disabled, their combat effectiveness was not so strong.
Everyone reacted slowly, and saw that two hyenas had already swooped over and pounced on the back of a big green mule.
This is the standard attack of hyenas, after they pounce on the back of the big green mule, they will stretch out their sharp claws to prepare**, and they can pull out the intestines of the green mule with one paw.
Once the hyena succeeds, they will be tightly clung to the mule's back, even if the mule runs for its life, it can't get rid of these two vampires, because in the process of the mule's escape, the hyena eats intestines on its back, do you say the mule can still live?
The big green mule made a miserable chirp and jumped desperately in place, trying to shake off the two hyenas.
However, the two hyenas were very tight, and their front paws were already deeply embedded in the flesh of the big green mule, and seeing that the other paw had already stretched out, the big green mule was about to be poisoned.
At the last moment, a long leather whip was thrown out, and it was so accurate and so fierce that it struck the head of a hyena at once, and the beast howled.
The other hyena was stunned, and the whip had already turned in the air and was whipped towards it again.
Only two snapping sounds were heard, and the long whip had already whipped the two hyenas to the ground.
The big green mule was jumping desperately, and when its hind hooves stepped out, it struck a hyena, and in a few strokes chopped the guy into a pulp.
The other hyena escaped from under the iron hoof, frightened half to death, and did not dare to come forward again.
Only then did the owner of the big green mule react, it was Zhuo Yan who helped him save the mule, he smiled at Zhuo Yan gratefully, and also waved his whip to drive away the hyenas who wanted to pounce.
Zhuo Yan was very nervous, she had already seen clearly, this batch of hyenas was very large, at least hundreds, and they all pounced in the direction of the Xiliu Camp camel team at this moment.
These hyenas are cunning and treacherous, and they seem to have seen that it is difficult to break through the front of Chu Xingchen's defense, so they turned to attack the camel team of the Xiliu Battalion.
This team was the weakest on the scene, not only were there all kinds of livestock, but the reaction of the owners was not so sharp.
Seeing that the hyenas were not afraid of death and pounced again, Zhuo Yan's mind suddenly flashed, "The big guy pulls the horse over!" ”
Chu Xingchen, they are all in the middle of the frontal defense and the horse team in the horse farm, it is too late to count on them to come to support, and they can only save themselves now.
Zhuo Yan remembered that when a horse encountered a hyena in the wild, it would not necessarily fall behind, unless it was a group of hyenas besieging a horse, and if there was a herd of horses, it would often be the hyena who suffered.
So focusing on letting the big guy pull the horse up, I just want to change passive defense to active defense.
The herdsmen were stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Zhuo Yan meant, and everyone responded.
Zhuo Yan did not relax, and led everyone to stand next to the horses and help the horses defend together.
In such a sudden effort, the hyenas had already swarmed in, but this time it was no longer stupid cows or mules that faced them, but even taller horses.
It is not so easy for the hyenas to pounce on the horse, they can only rush behind the horse and then leap to their feet.
Chu Xingchen's black mountain horse pounced on three hyenas from behind, and the black mountain horse was a little panicked, raising its hind hooves and kicking desperately.
The first and second kicks were missed, and seeing a hyena pick up on the horse's leg and bite with its mouth open, the black mountain horse felt the pain and opened its mouth and barked.
Zhuo Yan was standing on the right side of the black mountain horse, and when he saw this guy's useless appearance, he quickly swung his whip and helped it beat the hyena down.
As soon as the hyena rolled down to the feet of the black mountain horse, the black mountain horse's legs loosened, and immediately its hind hooves popped out, and the foot kicked the hyena in the head.
The hyena, which was kicked by the horse, flew out like an arrow from the string, flew seven or eight meters before falling to the ground, and then remained motionless, presumably with a broken head.
The dark horse is much calmer, it kicks one by one, and has already kicked over several hyenas.
The other horses were in a different situation, with a neat and sophisticated defense like the Black Horse, and some panicked like the Black Mountain Horse, but overall it was okay and the hyenas were not put in.
At this time, Chu Xingchen finally arrived with someone, and with the addition of this group of new forces, the people and horses of the Xiliu Battalion were greatly boosted, and they quickly defeated the hyenas, and countless hyenas fell on the scene.
After suffering this big loss, the hyenas did not dare to attack hard, and the rest fled in panic and fled back to the hillside, observing the people with cold eyes, ready to look for weaknesses to attack again.
