Chapter 202: Wolves
But Li Yuntong couldn't help but think about it, because with the long howl of that wolf, a second and a third soon appeared, and in an instant, more than 20 wolves surrounded the horse team.
Because the sky was still bright when they came out of the camp, and there were many people, they did not bring mastiffs with them when they came to the lake, so they were surrounded by wolves, and the people were frightened and neighed.
Songtsen Gampo said a few words, and the leader of the guards around him immediately commanded, and the outermost guards began to draw their bows and arrows, and the inner ones were responsible for guarding.
Although some of the guards shot arrows at the wolves, the wolves were particularly cunning, and after seeing one of them hit the arrow, they learned to dodge left and right, and some retreated behind the rocks, or simply attacked forward, plus most of the horses were frightened and jumped around, so the accuracy was really limited.
Several horses were bitten, and even the men with them were thrown to the ground.
By the lake in the valley, the warm sunset seems to be shrouded in a layer of cold cold, mixed with the diffuse smell of blood and wild howls.
Li Yuntong and Chizun were protected in the middle, and when they saw Songtsen Gampo leading his guards and retinue to fight against the wolves, cold sweat came down, and his breathing became heavy.
Chizun gritted her teeth, trying not to panic too much, she looked at Li Yuntong and was about to speak, but her teeth trembled, and she reluctantly asked for a while: "This, what can I do about this?" ”
Li Yuntong is much calmer than Chizun because she knows some martial arts, and she grew up in a family of Xingwu, she looked at the formation outside and said: "It shouldn't be important, Zampu They suppressed these wolves, and now they don't dare to come, the two who rushed to the horse team were also shot dead, and a people's camp is not far from here, and when someone hears the movement, they will bring the mastiff over." ”
In fact, Songtsen Gampo and the guards didn't think there was anything, mainly because the horses trembled when they saw the wolves, not to mention rushing forward, even if they stood in place, they were a little unstable, and it became extremely difficult for the people on horseback to control them.
"Dismount." Songtsen Gampu commanded.
After turning over and dismounting, he resolutely rushed towards the group of wolves under the protection of Baji, Dorjee and others.
Chizun exclaimed, "Zampu, how can you go on an adventure? Just let them do it, and you can go back. ”
Li Yuntong shouted from behind, "Those wolves may have been commanded by someone, Zampu be careful." ”
Songtsen Gampo turned back and waved his hand at them, indicating that it didn't matter.
At this moment, a she-wolf beside him flew towards him, and the wolf even jumped over Badge, as if identifying him and wanted to bite his throat directly, and at the same time, several other male wolves also rushed forward to help the she-wolf cover and fight with the other guards.
Songtsen Gampo was on tiptoe, and the moment he jumped up, he pulled out his waist knife, and when he fell again, his knife had already cut off the head of the she-wolf.
The she-wolf's head was cut off in half, and her eyes were still open, and she was already dying.
Dorjee and the others also quickly dealt with the male wolves.
Chizun breathed a sigh of relief, Li Yuntong relieved himself, Songtsan Gampo was in good shape and calm, and there should be no problem with the guards he brought with such strong combat effectiveness.
It's just that they didn't bring Baden Ram with them when they came, it was really a mistake, obviously they found Baden Ram because the beast-speaking Solang Deji might be unfavorable to them, and the last time he found out about his whereabouts with the snow leopard was here, he didn't think of this when he left the palace, it was really not well considered.
Not far away, there were a dozen or so wolves hidden behind the rocks, although they kept letting out low howls, they did not dare to rush up again for a while, but they did not run away, but took a few steps back when the guards took a few steps forward, and always kept an eye on them.
It seemed that the dead wolves, the smell of blood that spread with the air, did not make them back down, but aroused the wildness and ferocity in their bones and blood.
In particular, the strong male wolf, who looked like a wolf, was almost the height of an adult bull, with smooth fur, thick limbs, and green eyes that were fierce and calm.
In this case, Li Yuntong couldn't find out what else was going on on this side of the lake, whether it was because of the presence of wolves that the goats didn't dare to carry the soil.
If it's just these wolves, it won't be affected if you find a way to eliminate them all this time, but what if it's more than just wolves? This time, you have to find out everything to be at ease.
Chizun didn't think about it that much, she just said worriedly: "With these wolves here, how dare the goats carry the soil?" I don't know if Zampu and his people can kill all these wolves this time? It is almost winter, and as soon as the lake freezes, it will not be able to work for a few days. ”
Li Yuntong's eyes lit up when he listened, "The terrain here is easier to move ice than to divert the water away, the four sides of the lake are swamps, even the goats are easy to fall into it, first take advantage of the fact that there is no freezing in the past few days, dig one more ditch, and drain the water in the lake and the surrounding swamp out, and wait until the weather is cold, the swamp will be much easier to walk, you can dig ice, so that you can directly fill the lake and build a temple in the spring of the next year......"
When Chizun heard this, he said in a loud voice, "In this way, it will be much easier to fill in the lake and build a temple next year." ”
Songtsen Gampo obviously also thought of this, if he didn't solve these wolves, no matter whether there were other situations or not, he couldn't do it once and for all, after all, it was impossible to fight guerrilla battles with the wolves every day, not to mention that the goats didn't dare to come out, even the people were panicked, so it was better to take advantage of the fact that he brought people to wipe out all the wolves in one fell swoop.
He made a few gestures to get the guards to form an encirclement and turn back towards the wolves.
Animals have spirits, and although they don't know what they're doing, their posture of moving forward instead of retreating makes them feel that they are greatly threatened.
The strong-headed wolf howled at Songtsen Gampo, as if he wanted to fight him.
Songtsen Gampo sneered, and pulled the waist knife in his hand into a knife flower, and the cold knife light was a little sharper against the background of the setting sun.
The wolf grinned at him as if he had received a threat from him.
Songtsen Gampo decided to give it some color.
The position where the head wolf stood was the farthest away from him, he chose a male wolf in front of the head wolf, tried the waist knife in his hand, and then threw it out.
The male wolf felt something rushing towards him, and hurriedly dodged, but Songtsen Gampo had already calculated that the left side of the male wolf was a large rock, which could have been used to cover its body, but it just happened to stand up a little, and at this time it could only dodge to the right, otherwise it would crash into the stone.
And Songtsen Gampo's waist knife, after he calculated, the position that he threw over was supposed to be slightly to the right, and the male wolf's dodge was shot in the throat, and he fell to the ground without even snorting.
At this time, I don't know where a few wolf howls came, and the head wolf seemed to hear the howl, seemed to wake up, and roared at his own pack of wolves.
After a while, the wolf at the back began to leave, and the rest planned to evacuate one after another.
Where did Songtsen Gampo allow them to escape, and said in a loud voice: "Dorjee, you take those people over there, Baji, you go there, and the rest of the people follow this king in the middle of the road, hurry up, don't let them escape." ”
The wolves ran wild.
Songtsen Gampo and others rushed after them.
Watching them chase the wolves, Chizun asked worriedly, "It is said that poor Kou Mo chases, will it be dangerous for them to be like this?" ”
Li Yuntong comforted her, "It should be fine, Zampu knows it." ”
The evening breeze blows, the chill is refreshing, and the sun begins to set slowly, and even the last bit of warmth disappears into the valley.
Li Yuntong gathered his cloak, looked at the corpses of the wolves lying on the ground, and then looked around, and suddenly found that there was a faint green light, secretly approaching them, and hurriedly exclaimed, "It's not good, I'm just afraid that the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." Everyone cheered up and beware of sneak attacks. ”
Songtsen Gampo took away some of the guards, and the part that was left behind was surrounded by Li Yuntong and them.
In this group of people, in addition to Chizun who doesn't know martial arts at all, the handmaidens who accompany him also have some skills, although they are not as strong as Qiu Feng and Dong Qing's martial arts, but they also have some courage, and when they heard Li Yuntong's reminder, they turned over and dismounted in an orderly manner, protecting Li Yuntong and Chizun more closely.
Qiu Feng also asked people to light the torches, so as not to see clearly when it was dark, but the torches had not yet been lit, and soon they were surrounded by wolves, and those wolves slowly circled around them, as if trying to find their flaws.
These wolves were two or three times as large as the previous ones, and it was clear that the previous part was only to lure away some of their troops.
It's like a wolf that has become a sperm.
People who have this idea can't help but be a little timid.
One of the remaining guards was a leader, and he shouted for the guards to aim their swords at the wolves, and move with them in case the wolves suddenly attacked.
Li Yuntong and Chizun also dismounted, and Qiu Tong and others were firmly protected in the middle. Outside them, there was a circle of men each holding a few horses, forming a second protective circle.
The retinue of the third circle holds a torch in one hand and a knife in the other, which can be illuminated inside and out.
The outermost layer is the guards who raise their swords and bows and arrows and look at the wolves.
The torches were lit at last, but the wolves were not deterred, they ran faster and faster, and the guards did not dare to blink when the wolves ran at a speed that dazzled them, lest one of them fail to keep up, and some wolves would run into the protective circle and hurt people.
Li Yuntong and Chizun looked at the indifference and murderous desire in the wolf's eyes through the gap between people, and they were a little frightened, feeling that even the smell of blood that had faded before had become stronger.
