Rush into the wolves

Su Jinyao likes to see Gu Xuebin's momentum and strategizing the most. Although he was not wearing battle armor, the edge displayed in his wave of his hand at this time was really unmatched.

Song Yiming also surrendered unconsciously, nodded and said "yes", and took the lead in continuing to urge the horse to the north.

The two pathfinders continued to walk forward, and the people behind followed closely, and after walking another seven or eight miles, the group began to turn to the northwest.

At this time, the sun had set on the horizon, and the desert looked desolate and lonely from afar. Occasionally, another goshawk flew by, and its call was full of homecoming tiredness and loneliness.

Gu Xuebin couldn't help but stop Song Yiming and asked, "Do you know what prey my uncle encountered?" There is such a wanton round-up. ”

Song Yiming looked ahead and said, "I don't know yet, but the most prey in this area is the desert yellow sheep, and the taste of mutton is very good." ”

After a pause, Song Yiming smiled again: "However, the desert wolf also loves the delicacy of yellow sheep. At this time, we may also encounter blue wolves competing with us for prey. If you encounter a pack of wolves, it will be a different battle. ”

Su Jinyao also knows some wolf nature, wolves are very intelligent animals, and they have an absolute advantage in rounding up prey.

It may be that the people are not as well deployed as the wolves in this regard, and if there are not enough people, they may still encounter danger.

Gu Xuebin also thought of this, so he turned his head and said to Su Jinyao with a smile: "I hope we are lucky, don't fight for food from the wolf's mouth." ”

However, as soon as Gu Xuebin's words fell, a low wolf howl came from ahead.

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and said, "It seems that you still have a crow's mouth, and we seem to be in a bad situation." ”

Song Yiming also smiled and said, "It's not that we are in a bad situation, it should be that General Tuoba is now encountering wolves in this direction." However, we made a detour from the rear, and we were able to make a detour to the rear of the wolves. Coupled with Vice General Zhang on the other side, we are sandwiched in three ways, and no matter how big the wolf pack is, it may not be our opponent. ”

Seeing that Song Yiming is so confident, it can be seen that he is very sure of this hunt.

Maybe they will find something interesting to do when they are lonely and bored in these days when they are stationed in Mobei. And such hunts have probably been carried out many times for them.

After listening to Song Yiming's words, the five cavalrymen under his command who walked at the back of the team took off the curved bow from their backs and hung it on the hook and loop on the horse's back, so that they could be taken when they were needed at any time.

Su Jinyao has never learned archery, but she hits the silver needle accurately and ruthlessly.

So Su Jinyao bought a few catties of iron nails on the road, each with the length of a little finger. In her spare time, she asked A-Ning and Mo to sharpen the tip of the nail quickly and use it as a hidden weapon.

Now Su Jinyao also opened the leather bag with iron nails and hung it in a convenient place on horseback.

Gu Xuebin can shoot arrows, he also has a curved bow hanging on his horse, and he also moves the long sword to his hand.

As for A-Ning and Mo, both of them have dual swords as weapons. In addition, there are also throwing knives as a hidden weapon for self-defense.

It seems that the weapons that Shadow Guard is best at using are both left and right handed. For example, when Gu Xun was still called Seventeen, he used double knives to fight against Qingfan soldiers; And now it's also a shadow guard

Ning and Mo both use dual swords.

It's just that A-Ning uses a pair of long swords, while Mo uses a pair of swords of different lengths.

Song Yiming saw that everyone was also ready, so he said: "It is expected that there will be wolf guards three miles ahead, and we must rush over at full speed to not give a large number of wolves a chance to react after receiving the signal." ”

Gu Xuebin nodded and glanced at Su Jinyao again.

Su Jinyao smiled and pulled out her Luan Feng cone, held it in her left hand, tightened the reins with her right hand, and nodded towards Gu Xuebin, proving that she was also ready.

Although the Luan Feng Cone is only suitable for close combat, Su Jinyao can also use the Luan Feng Cone for close protection while hitting the hidden weapon made of iron nails. In this way, you can also give full play to your advantages by having both offense and defense.

But no matter how you look at it, Su Jinyao doesn't look like she's hunting, but like she's here for a decisive battle.

Everyone made eye contact and rushed out at full speed. On one side is the glow of the setting sun, and behind it is the billowing smoke and dust from the horse's hooves.

Even though this is not on the battlefield, there is also a fierce momentum surging in the hearts of everyone.

Su Jinyao was also galloping on a horse, and suddenly felt that awe-inspiring arrogance.

"Driving" Su Jinyao urged the horse again, and her Moyun also felt the wildness bursting out of her bones because she ran on the desert again. A long hiss roared as the hooves were spread, and they flew forward like arrows.

Under the galloping horses, he soon saw the first line of defense laid by the wolves. That is, the range where the wolf pack sentry is located.

These sentry wolves are thin, but extremely agile and nimble. But under the galloping momentum of more than a dozen fast horses, he was also stunned for a moment, and did not dare to rush up to intercept it, but directly howled into the sky and issued a warning.

Song Yiming said: "After receiving the signal from the guards, the wolves will be prepared to evacuate or counterattack, and we will kill the wolves before they react." ”

Gu Xuebin also glanced at Su Jinyao, he saw the smile on Su Jinyao's face and the awe-inspiring look in his eyes, and nodded: "Then rush." Let Jinyao also have a good time. ”

In Gu Xuebin's view, the greatest interest in this kind of round-up is to fight and kill wolves. Since Su Jinyao showed a strong interest, why not really rush into the wolves. Anyway, he will protect her, he won't let her get hurt, he will just let her have fun.

After rushing forward for more than a mile, I saw the second line of defense of the wolves.

There were more than a dozen of these wolves, with slender limbs and thin cheeks, and at first glance they were good at long-distance running and extremely explosive.

Song Yiming explained again: "This group of wolves is responsible for receiving and ambushing, whether it is the battle in the center or the defense on the periphery, it is this group of wolves. They are fast, but they are not very strong. As long as we don't get caught in them when we rush over, we can quickly shake them off. ”

Sure enough, as Song Yiming said, these dozen wolves rushed towards Su Jinyao and them, but after everyone pulled their bows and shot arrows or shot hidden weapons, killing or injuring a few wolves, these wolves gave up chasing and stopped.

But after the wolves stopped, they also let out a long howl, apparently still signaling to the wolves inside.

Gu Xuebin glanced back and smiled: "It seems that this wolf pack is not small." And we're about to meet the elite of the wolf pack. ”

A pair of fire foxes appeared

The elite of the wolves is naturally at the center of the encirclement. Here the wolf king oversees the battle, and all the prey they fancy is surrounded in the center.

But at this time, these desert wolves have obviously become the prey of people, and they really have a bit of the meaning of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.

Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao rushed towards the center of the wolf pack, and a thick layer of sand and dust also came out from the opposite side, obviously the number of people rushing over from the opposite side was larger.

Song Yiming smiled and said: "On the opposite side is Vice General Zhang's team, and his cronies' team has twenty or thirty people, and it is about to catch up with General Tuoba's fifty-man personal guard." ”

It can be seen that there is also a division of spheres of influence in the barracks. And the number of pro-guards means the level of status.

The commander here is General Tuoba Gao, and he will always have a squad of fifty people around him.

When Tuoba Gao was still in the capital, these people were also the personal soldiers who followed him. And Zhang Chengliang and Song Yiming were also once members of the team of fifty people.

After coming to the battlefield in Mobei, Zhang Chengliang and Song Yiming, as capable and loyal cronies, were naturally promoted to deputies. Now Zhang Chengliang has a long-term team of nearly 30 people.

Song Yiming took about 20 people. The seven people who came with him to hunt today are the cronies of the cronies.

These people have been fighting and cooperating together all year round, and they have tacitly understood to the extent that they are inseparable. So although he was facing a large group of desert wolves, Song Yiming could still smile so frankly.

There was also a shout from the opposite side at this time: "Old Song, is it you?" Come and see, what good things are surrounded by this pack of wolves. ”

This is Zhang Chengliang's voice, and he can be heard very excited.

Song Yiming looked at Gu Xuebin, but Gu Xuebin waved his hand and said, "Rush over and see, these wolves can't do anything to us." ”

Su Jinyao did not have the slightest fear, although a large group of gray, black, and brown wolves of different coat colors appeared in front of her again, but this kind of desert pride also hit everyone's heart, making people burst out of their bones with a kind of detachment.

At the same time, Su Jinyao was also curious, what kind of prey could make Zhang Chengliang happy like this?

Therefore, Su Jinyao also took the lead in breaking into the wolves as soon as she urged the horse.

These wolves are all the elite of the wolf pack, not only are they taller and stronger than ordinary wolves, but they are also superior in resourcefulness.

When the wolf king saw Su Jinyao and them rushing over from the other side, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and rushed towards Su Jinyao after a wolf howl.

This is not difficult to explain, because the wolf king chose the side with the least number of people in an attempt to break through.

The wolves concentrated on counterattacking, which was bound to cause the greatest pressure on Su Jinyao's side. But whether it was Su Jinyao or Gu Xuebin, they didn't have the slightest intention of being afraid, but faced the wolves that were getting closer and closer, and rushed straight over.

"Jinyao, watch your step." Gu Xuebin also reminded Su Jinyao, and then ran in front of Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao also understood what Gu Xuebin meant, they were on horses, even if these wolves pounced, it was unlikely that they would directly hurt them. The most likely thing is to pounce directly on the horse's leg and cause damage to the horse.

At the same time, their feet on the stirrups will also become a target for wolf attacks, so the main thing is the position under the horse's belly.

Su Jinyao doesn't have long weapons,

But as soon as a wolf pounced, the nails in her hand would rain out. If a few wolves dodged and pounced, Su Jinyao would pick it with a Luan Feng cone with her backhand, and she would also pierce the intestines picked by that wolf into her stomach.

In this way, the fast horse galloped past, and Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao quickly rushed through the attack of the elite troops of the wolf pack, and joined Zhang Chengliang who came over from the opposite side.

And Song Yiming's five subordinates who had been walking at the end used their bows and arrows to suppress the rest of the wolves who were ready to pounce again.

The gray-black wolf king led by saw that these people were really not easy to mess with, so he raised his head and howled, obviously unwilling but helpless to retreat with his subordinates.

The wolves walked in an orderly manner, and with the order of the wolf king, they would never fight, and almost in the blink of an eye, a hundred and ten wolves hurried in front of everyone and retreated into the depths of the desert in the distance.

As the dust settled after the wolves ran, Su Jinyao also saw the prey that had been surrounded in the middle.

It was indeed a flock of desert yellow sheep, at least thirty of them, all on alert, with their heads facing outwards and their tails facing inwards in a circle.

But if it weren't for the wolves being driven away, these thirty or so yellow sheep would have become a good meal for the hundred and ten blue wolves.

Su Jinyao looked at the yellow sheep with horror and doubt in their eyes, turned her head and asked Gu Xuebin, "Do you want to hunt them all?" We can't eat that much. ”

Gu Xuebin laughed when he heard it and said, "Of course not." If we overkill, the sheep will starve without wolves, and it may also threaten nearby villages, which is not a good sign. So, let's just choose a few as trophies, and we won't hunt them all. ”

Song Yiming also said: "That's right. We only hunt a few of them, and the rest of the yellow sheep are around here, and it is estimated that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will become the target of the wolves to continue hunting. ”

But just when Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin were studying how many yellow sheep they were hunting, there was dust in the other direction again.

Zhang Chengliang shouted with a smile: "General, you are late." We are the last to come, and we have driven the wolves away and hunted the yellow sheep. ”

But just after Zhang Chengliang shouted, no one in front of him replied, but remembered a loud whistle.

Immediately, a gray shadow flashed in the sky, and everyone saw a gray-black eagle swooping down from the sky, burrowing in the sand and dust several times, as if it was swooping on something.

"Other prey?" Gu Xuebin furrowed his brows, and looked up at the goshawk that was constantly fluttering and whirling in the rolling dust.

Gu Xuebin and General Tuoba Gao will both be birds, and now it seems that this eagle should be attacking General Tuoba Gao. Because he was concentrating on manipulating the eagle, he didn't have the time to reply.

Su Jinyao also looked at the gray and yellow sand and dust curiously, and finally saw two red "hairballs" scurrying back and forth on the ground.

"Fire Fox!" Gu Xuebin also saw that the two red furballs were a pair of beautiful firefoxes. The red fur did not dim in the dust, but seemed to shine in the afterglow of the setting sun.

And the goshawk swooped down again and swooped down on a fiery fox, whose steel-like talons were about to grasp the fox's back.

The other fire fox, which had already run in the opposite direction, quickly turned around and rushed back......

Let go of the prey

The two fire foxes were obviously a couple, and when they saw that one was in trouble and the other was unwilling to flee alone, they came back to try to rescue.

The fox that ran back from the back did not go directly to meet its companion, but suddenly jumped up with a kick on its hind legs and pounced on the swooping goshawk.

This is clearly a way to save Zhao and lose both. If the goshawk does not give up its prey, it may be pounced on by the fox that follows.

However, if the goshawk gives up the attack and turns back and swoops down, the fox may become a target for the goshawk.

Everyone quietly watched the scene of the fox and the goshawk fighting in the dust in front of them, not knowing how the battle would be won or lost.

However, Su Jinyao's heart hung suddenly, and she suddenly pulled out the jade flute whistle around her neck and blew it.

This was given to Su Jinyao by Gu Xuebin, and it was an artifact of the imperial bird. Su Jinyao didn't know if she could control the goshawk with the help of this jade flute whistle at a time of crisis like this.

Gu Xuebin was also stunned, and then he also gave a whistle, and cooperated with Su Jinyao's whistle to give instructions to the goshawk.

At the same time as the goshawk heard the whistle, it flapped its wings violently, and its wings puffed up with a gust of wind, and its body was suddenly raised, dodging the attacking fox, and at the same time giving up the attack on the other fox.

The two fire foxes also froze at the same time as the whistle sounded, and a pair of foxes turned their heads to look at Su Jinyao at the same time. The two fire foxes look very similar, but one has black pupils and the other has dark green pupils.

Su Jinyao looked at the pair of fire foxes, quickly waved her hand, and shouted, "Don't look at it, hurry up and run." Of course, I don't know if the pair of foxes can understand her.

But Su Jinyao felt that this pair of fire foxes was so affectionate, and she was really reluctant to let them die because of a hunt.

The ears of the fire fox moved, and their eyes flashed, and they ran away in the other direction.

The fire fox ran fast and fast, flying with a large jump. Two big fluffy tails swing back and forth, like two clusters of fire in the setting sun.

Instead, the "flame" jumped into the distance and disappeared into the desert horizon.

Su Jinyao also breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Zhang Chengliang and Song Yiming, shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm really sorry, I let go of the good prey." But I really can't bear to see their cute pair die, or they all die. ”

The corners of Song Yiming's mouth twitched, as if he had nothing to say.

And Zhang Chengliang smiled "haha" and said: "Understand, understand." The pair of little foxes are also very affectionate, run away, anyway, spring is not a good time to hunt foxes, and fox meat is not delicious. ”

Su Jinyao also smiled when she heard this, but she couldn't laugh when she turned around. She pointed to the location of the yellow sheep just now and said, "It seems that we didn't just let go of a pair of foxes, those yellow sheep are also gone." ”

"Ugh!!" Everyone hurriedly turned around, only to find that the more than 30 yellow sheep that were still in a circle just now, almost trembling, had run away at this time.
