Chapter 387: Busy and Busy
The Western Barbarians and the Southern Barbarians are united, and the soldiers and horses on both sides can be said to be in the same vein, and mutual cooperation is naturally not a problem.
Meng Huo and Meng Tu fought fiercely, clamoring to drive aliens and traitors out of the Southern Barbarians.
The so-called alien race refers to the Han army, and the so-called traitors are the Eastern Barbarian army that is in collusion with the Han army.
The father and son carried out several tentative attacks, and Ye Yunyang ordered the team to temporarily avoid the edge, and the whole army retreated to the royal court, and no one was allowed to fight at will.
The two sides were in a confrontational situation, and although the total number of Han and barbarian coalition forces was inferior to the other party, there were more than 600,000 people, building the small royal court like an iron bucket.
The current royal court is like a hedgehog full of spikes, allowing Meng Huo and Meng Tu to hold millions of male masters, but they have no way to speak.
There was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the royal court, Ye Yunyang sat firmly in Menghuo's Barbarian Palace, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, at most he studied the military books, and his life was very comfortable.
Meng Zhun asked for battle many times, but was rejected by him, the Iron Eagle Army asked for war several times, but was also rejected, and even the Nanshan Army was almost unable to sit still, Yin Falcon came to ask for battle, and he was politely invited out.
In his opinion, it is not appropriate to start a fierce battle with the enemy at this time, and it is necessary to wait for the opportunity.
Chen Shilai walked in from the outside and said, "The spies sent to the south have returned, and they have not found any trace of the enemy, but they have seen a large group of maple wolves in Nanhua Mountain. ”
Ye Yunyang was worried that Meng Huo would send a large army to quietly go to the south of the royal court and attack the royal court with the army from the north, so he would send several spies to the south every day to investigate the situation.
"It's great to have a maple wolf!" Ye Yunyang closed the book of soldiers and said with some excitement: "Go and call Ying Ying and Yi Xue, let them get ready, let's go to Nanhua Mountain to hunt the maple wolf!"
Chen Shilai was stunned: "Is it appropriate?"
Ye Yunyang is not only the commander of the Han army, but also controls the 350,000 Eastern Barbarian army, and it is the most basic requirement to sit in the marshal's mansion, how can he go out hunting?
The departure of the commander from the army will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the soldiers, which in turn will affect the morale.
"There's nothing inappropriate, now there is no war, the soldiers are recuperating, why can't Ben Shuai go out to breathe?" he said indifferently: "It's okay to have Uncle Yin sitting in the royal court, without a clear order, Meng Zhun will not dare to act rashly." Cao Ziang was suppressed just a few days ago, and the Iron Eagle Legion doesn't have to worry, we can rest assured that we can go hunting boldly. ”
Chen Shilai nodded: "Okay, I'll go and inform the Dongfang Academician and the Yuying County Lord, will I go over to General Yin's side, or will you go over in person?"
Ye Yunyang thought for a while and said, "Just tell him." ”
An hour later, the four of them left the royal court on horses and headed straight for Nanhua Mountain.
Nanhua Mountain is located on the south side of the royal court, and the distance between the two places is less than 200 miles, even if there is an emergency in the royal court, it only takes half a day to rush back.
The maple wolf, a medium-sized mammal that grows in the southern barbarians, is one size smaller than the gray wolf, with an earthy orange coat, and is more apt to say that it is a wild dog than a wolf.
Because of their small size, maple wolves have relatively weak attack power, and they mostly move in groups, take care of each other, and hunt together.
Liu Yuying carried a treasure carving bow on her back, and last time she used this bow to hit dozens of prey to ensure everyone's food supply for several days.
She glanced at Ye Yunyang and said, "I don't understand, why does a person who can't even shoot sheep like hunting so much?
Ye Yunyang was not angry at all, patted the wooden box hanging on the side of the saddle, and said, "With it today, I will definitely hit a lot of prey, do you dare to compare?"
"Are you sure you didn't forget to take your medicine before you went out, or did you get chicken blood?" Liu Yuying said sarcastically, she glanced at his wooden box, and didn't think it was anything special.
The wooden box was packed in a canvas bag and hung from the saddle, so that no clues could be seen from the outside.
Dongfang Yixue smiled and said, "Maki Ma, you can't underestimate the enemy this time. ”
Liu Yuying immediately turned his head to look at her: "Sister Dongfang, what is in that box?"
"I can't tell you that Yun Yang said that he wanted to keep it secret. She laughs.
The little girl muttered unconvinced: "It's really boring, it's really a family, and they all talk to him." ”
Dongfang Yi Xueqiao's face flushed and stopped talking.
More than four hours later, they came to Nanhua Mountain, it was late autumn, the mountains, forests and grasslands were covered with a layer of green and yellow, coupled with the endless blue sky, which made people involuntarily feel good.
Whew......
The sound of maple wolves biting their prey was heard in the distance, and Liu Yuying instantly pricked up her ears, with her current martial arts strength, even if she was besieged by more than a dozen maple wolves at the same time, she could ensure her own safety.
Since she didn't have to worry about safety, she naturally became bolder, eager to rush into the wolves in minutes and catch them all.
Ye Yunyang saw the eager expression on her face, and said, "Zhu Ying, are you interested in having a competition?"
She took off the treasure carving bow and said arrogantly: "It depends on whether you have the strength to compete with the lord of this county, if it is still like last time, even if I don't make a move, you will have a hard chance to win." ”
After speaking, she glanced at Ye Yunyang's wooden box.
Ye Yunyang reached out and took off the canvas bag, took out the wooden box and opened it, and said while displaying: "See clearly, this is the most accurate combination crossbow in the Southern Barbarians, with a range of about five hundred meters, equipped with a bronze sight, and a winding booster device, which is more stable than your longbow!"
As we all know, the advantage of a crossbow is that after winding up the arrow, you only need to hold the crossbow body and trigger the crossbow machine to shoot the target at any time. The longbow is different, you need to hold the bowstring all the time, and aim while exerting force, which is not only more laborious, but also affects the accuracy of the arrow when it is fired.
In the wooden box, there is a strong crossbow that is separated quietly, the left and right crossbow arms and the crossbow body are separated, and there is a stuck falcon at the connection.
On the top of the crossbow, in addition to the arrow slot where the crossbow arrows are placed, there are also bronze sights marked with scales, which can be aimed at prey at different distances based on the corresponding scales, and the hit rate is very high.
Liu Yuying frowned, but he was very unconvinced: "What kind of ability is it to use a crossbow, there is no technical content at all." ”
"Who said there is no technical content?" Ye Yunyang's eyes widened, and he swore solemnly: "If you want to control your balance on the back of a running horse and accurately shoot your prey, you need the perfect coordination of your body, eyes, and hands, which is not much easier than your Treasure Eagle Bow." Don't look for a reason, do you dare to compare?"
The little girl didn't think about it and said: "Of course, the county lord will convince you! Don't say it's a crossbow, you are carrying a three-bow bed crossbow that can fire ten crossbow guns at a time, and you still have to bow down today, drive!"
With a wave of her whip, the horse under her seat instantly accelerated, leaving Ye Yunyang behind.
Dongfang Yixue smiled bitterly: "Yun Yang, why do you always have to fight with Ying Ying, whether it is in cultivation, witchcraft, commanding the army, etc., you are much better than her, she is just stronger than you in bow and arrow, and she doesn't even leave her with this little advantage?"
Ye Yunyang said while assembling the strong crossbow: "Young man, it is good to beat and beat more, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she will involuntarily look at everything, I have to let her know what it means to have mountains outside the mountains and heavens outside the sky." ”
While speaking, he had already completed the assembly of the crossbow, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and chased Liu Yuying.
Chen Shilai smiled and said to Dongfang Yixue: "What Gongzi said makes sense, Lord Yuying is good at everything, but he is inferior in humility, and he is too arrogant, it is necessary to kill her arrogance." ”
The two horses broke away and rushed to the place where the maple wolf howled the loudest.
The result made the two very disappointed, originally thought that there were hundreds of maple wolves in this group, but they never thought that there were less than thirty, and they didn't know what the spies thought, but they actually replied that there was a large group.
Something is better than nothing, Liu Yuying took the lead in opening the bow and arrows, because she wanted to show so much that she couldn't aim carefully and shot out the feather arrow.
As you can imagine, the feathered arrow flew past a maple wolf, and it was gorgeously inserted in the grass, and the tail of the arrow trembled for a while.
"How so?" her eyes widened.
Ye Yunyang laughed: "Accept your fate, look at me!"
With that, he raised his crossbow.
Liu Yuying cursed in a sour voice on the side: "I can't shoot, I can't shoot ......."
Sou......
The bolt drew a parabola and flew towards the wolves.
Burst......
Whew...... Oh......
A maple wolf was pinned to the ground and let out a painful wail that startled the other companions, and they scattered in all directions, staring at the two uninvited guests with alarming eyes.
Ye Yunyang was broken: "How is it, now believe in my strength, right?"
"There's nothing to show off, it's just luck, you have the ability to shoot arrows while riding a horse, and if you can shoot like this, I'll be convinced. The little girl said angrily, and without waiting for Ye Yunyang to react, she hit the horse and chased the maple wolf.
Ye Yunyang shrugged: "The facts are still hard in front of you, do you think that your riding and archery level is very high, today will definitely convince you." ”
The two of them fired feathered arrows on the back of the galloping horse one after another, and although the maple wolf was small, it was very agile when it fled, and it was not easy to shoot them.
Dongfang Yixue and Chen Shilai are in charge of the queen and collect the prey.
The two guys in front of them were running like crazy, chasing them for dozens of miles until they came to a valley with a pleasant scenery.
The valley is high on all sides and low in the middle, and the cold air is blocked out, so the plants here are not green to yellow, but lush.
Also, the temperature here is noticeably much warmer than outside.
Ye Yunyang looked at it, and suddenly said happily: "Great, this is a desperate valley, except for the entrance we just entered, there is no other way to the outside!"
In other words, the maple wolves that ran in just now were all in a dead end, and no one wanted to run away.
Liu Yuying was also very excited, she rode her horse directly and ran inside, but as soon as she ran a few dozen meters away, she almost fell off the horse's back, and shouted in panic: "Something is wrong here, there was a very cold demon wind blowing just now." ”
Ye Yunyang didn't believe it, thinking that she did it on purpose, and didn't want to let herself follow up to get a piece of the pie.
However, he was soon blown by a cold wind, and it was cold to the bone.
