The sky was getting dark, and Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. During the day, when I look at the sun, I can barely tell the direction, and at night, I can only rely on the compass I carry on my body.

Fortunately, the compass was already very close to the modern version in the Song Dynasty, and it was greatly improved in the Yuan Dynasty.

Xiao Feng took out the compass on his body, looked at the general direction through the starlight, and continued to walk forward. He had to take advantage of the night to walk more. When it's hot during the day, it's even harder to walk.

After the cavalry returned with the body of Altan Khan, the Mongol tribes would definitely be chaotic, and the dragons would be leaderless, and with Qi Jiguang's ability, it would not be a problem to control the situation.

It's just that whether the people and horses of Qi Jiguang's faction can find themselves in this vast grassland, it's hard to say, so they can't sit back and wait for help, and they must continue to go in the direction of Datong.

Besides, if the cavalry was right, and there were wolves in this place, it would be better to stay as far away as possible from Altan Khan and his two dead horses.

The smell of blood from dead horses will attract wild wolves, and if the wild wolves are as large as the cavalry say, then the two horses will probably not have enough to eat, and they will be just dessert after the meal.

As Xiao Feng walked, he heard a swishing sound from the grass in the distance behind him, which was particularly loud and creepy in the sound of the wind blowing the blades of grass.

Xiao Feng didn't dare to move, he crouched in the grass, picked up the binoculars, and looked behind him from a distance.

A pack of gray steppe wolves, like mudslides, swept down a row of pasture grass and rushed towards them, stopping at the dead horse of Altan Khan in the distance.

How many wolves? Xiao Feng couldn't count, but he felt that there were at least three hundred or more, no wonder those cavalrymen were so afraid.

Such a wolf pack, let alone a hundred cavalry, is three hundred, one-on-one, and it may not be able to win. Because this is in a half-man-high grassland, wolves can be considered almost invisible.

The wolves actually ignore the riders on the horses when dealing with the cavalry, and their experience in fighting is against the horses. Wolves and horses were predators in ancient times.

The horses in the wild horse herd, that is, the adult stallions, are almost invincible in nature, not to mention the wild wolves, even the leopards are not opponents in one-on-one situations.

Tigers should be able to beat horses, but the problem is that wild horses are grassland animals and never appear in places where tigers are found, so this assumption is of little significance.

However, wolves will attack ponies and mares in the wild horse herd, and some of them will be trampled to death, but they will use their steel teeth and claws to cut open the belly of the wild horse, which is the most vulnerable part of the wild horse.

When their bellies are sliced open, the wild horses are dead, and they will crush their internal organs as they run, becoming a delicacy for the wolves.

So every time a pack of wolves hunts a herd of wild horses, it will be a tragic fight, and if the wolves have a better choice, they will definitely choose cattle and sheep instead of wild horses.

But the memory of this kind of fighting, passed down from generation to generation by the wolves, can still come in handy when it comes to dealing with human cavalry.

By this time, the wolves had swept away Altan Khan's horse, leaving not even a few thin bones, only a few leg bones and skulls. Then they smelled blood and found Xiao Feng's white horse again.

Many wild wolves were injured when eating white horses. Because the white horse is shot like a hedgehog, it is like a fish with many spines to the wolves, and if you are not careful, you will be stabbed.

But the wolves still eliminated the difficulties, and ate the white horses cleanly, and several wolves who were pierced in the throat by broken arrows each snatched a large piece of meat and choked the broken arrows, which was the method taught by the old wolves, although it was not necessarily correct.

The unfed wolves continued to sniff and search, hoping to find another horse that had fallen for some reason. But they smell different.

Fragrant, more tender, whiter, and more exciting for the wolves. So there is indeed a reason why certain criminals are called perverts.

Xiao Feng crouched in the grass, looking at the wolves that were sniffing the ground and gradually approaching, and secretly complained in his heart. He touched the ammunition in his arms, and there were only about ten left.

In order to act more likely, the baggage skin loaded with bullets was thrown away, and the remaining bullets were put into his arms, ready to assassinate Altan Khan, and at most prepared to fight with the cavalry, but I really didn't prepare to deal with the wolves......

The wolves were getting closer and closer, and the leading wolf king suddenly stopped, raised his head, and sniffed vigorously in the air with his nose.

Xiao Feng slowly picked up the gun. Postmodern wolves are terrified of the smell of gunpowder and the sound of explosions, and sometimes a single shot can scare away a pack of wolves.

But Xiao Feng was very skeptical that the wolves of the Ming Dynasty had this kind of consciousness about gunpowder, after all, the wolves of the post-modern era had a grandfather to teach them.

Humans have a stick that makes a loud noise, and that thing is so powerful that it can kill you, so if you hear that noise and smell that smell, just run!

But the wolves of the Ming Dynasty may not have had the opportunity to get this kind of quality education, their grandfathers have only seen bows and arrows and big sticks, and they are fearless for the ignorant.

But no matter how educated this ancient wolf was, Xiao Feng couldn't delay any longer, because the leading wolf had already discovered him.

Through the grass, the wolf king's green little eyes glowed with lust, staring at Xiao Feng, sticking out his tongue and drooling, and it was really no different from a hooligan.

Bang! Without waiting for the wolf king to let out an excited howl, Xiao Feng's gun rang out first. The wolf king statue was punched head-on, and his huge gray body flew up in the air and slammed into the ground.

The loud noise, combined with the pungent smell of gunpowder, sent the wolves into a brief panic. But the wolves were uneducated and did not have a minimum respect for gunpowder, and after discovering that the wolf king had died inexplicably, they were enraged.

Several wolves approached, but the wolves were more cunning and cautious, and they didn't pounce all at once, which also gave Xiao Feng time to change ammunition.

Then Xiao Feng held the gun, aimed it at one of the most impatient guys, and fired another shot.

One wolf fell, and the wolves learned quickly, and they immediately stared at the musket in Xiao Feng's hand, and Xiao Feng's muzzle was pointed at which wolf, and which wolf dodged again and again.

But in an instant, the wolves had already surrounded Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly as he loaded the ammunition.

Unexpectedly, the life I crossed back to, with ups and downs, magnificent waves, defeated countless strong enemies, and finally was eaten by wolves on the grassland!

I don't know how many times I've died, but no matter how many times, if I want to be resurrected after turning into wolf dung, I'm afraid it's as difficult as climbing to the sky.

The wolves finally couldn't hold it anymore and pounced, Xiao Feng knocked down a wolf with one shot, and then it was too late to load the ammunition, so he turned the gun sideways with his left hand and blocked a big mouth with drooling.

The hard and sharp wolf teeth rattled the barrel of the gun, Xiao Feng waved his right hand, and the embroidered spring knife cut off the wolf's head in the air, the wolf's body rolled on the ground, and the wolf's head bit on the barrel unconvinced.

Xiao Feng used the musket as a shield, and the embroidered spring knife slashed horizontally and vertically, and blood and rain flew in the air. The wolves swooped down on Xiao Feng like gray turbid waves, and Xiao Feng was like a flat boat in a whirlpool, which could be submerged at any time.

Xiao Feng's body has a suspected Bliss Divine Skill and Yu Dayou's domineering internal force, and his reaction is extremely fast, and his strength is large and long-lasting, so he can barely support it.

But Rao is like this, half an hour later, Xiao Feng was already covered in sweat, and his strength gradually exhausted.

Because the wolves are so cunning, the cooperation between them is extremely subtle and weird, no less than the formation placed by the martial arts master.

Xiao Feng's movements became slower and slower, and the scars on his body became more and more, although he had not been bitten down, the sharp claws of the wild wolf had already scratched the green clothes on his body one by one, like a cucumber under the knife of a willow apprentice.

In the distance, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves, not one, but a group, but there was no noise in the horses' hooves.

There was no sound of flags waving in the wind, no sound of riding boots rubbing against stirrups, no creaking of saddles, and no shouting.

This is a herd of wild horses, and they are also attracted to this best meadow. They knew that there might be wolves here, but the arid grasslands forced them to take risks.

At this time, the wolves were already red-eyed, ignoring the wild horses in the distance. They probably have only one thought: hundreds of wolves can't kill a person, and they don't have to mix in this grassland in the future!

Xiao Feng's side was full of wolf corpses, and the wolves were completely crazy, they had never encountered such a terrifying human being, and they singled out the entire wolf pack by themselves!

Xiao Feng's eyes were fascinated by the wolf blood splashing in the air, and his two arms were so weak that he couldn't lift them. He raised his head, looked at the starry sky, resigned himself to stopping the movement of the sword, and let out a long howl.

This long howl suppressed the wolf howl and shocked the wolves, but it was only a momentary pause, and then it pounced even more ferociously!

A black shadow shot out from the front of the wild horse herd like an arrow from the string, heading straight for Xiao Feng and the wolves. The wild horses are naturally natural, and they do not hesitate to follow the head horses and gallop wildly.

Although the wolves didn't plan to hunt the wild horses, they never expected that the wild horses would dare to take the initiative to approach, after all, you eat grass, and Lao Tzu eats meat! This is simply the opposite of Tiangang!

The wolves who were caught off guard were kicked and trampled by the wild horses' wild hooves, but the wolves were the most flexible and cunning killers after all, and they immediately scattered to both sides, not daring to block the horse's charge head-on.

Xiao Feng opened his eyes wide, looking at the wild horses galloping towards him, the leading horse, with a thick skeleton, although not fat, but tall and mighty, iron bones, and a yellow hair flying in the wind under the starlight.

"Lao Huang? Did you get into the wild horses? Still mixed up as a head horse? ”

Without waiting for Xiao Feng to think about it, the yellow horse had already rushed to the front, and he didn't even reduce his speed, but he turned his head to look at Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng comprehended, and used his last strength to jump up.

The yellow horse galloped away with Xiao Feng, the wild horses behind him roared past, the iron hooves flew over, and several tall and strong horses followed at the back of the team to prevent the wolves from raiding, like a gust of wind blowing across the grassland, and quickly went away.

The wolves, who had suffered heavy losses, gradually calmed down after a howl of anger and sadness. They didn't chase the mustang because it wasn't necessary.

Wild horses are hunted to feed their stomachs, and now that this problem has been solved, the wolf corpses all over the ground are enough for them to eat. Yes, wolves don't hunt their fellow partners, but they don't waste them when they die in battle or from disease.

After eating and drinking, the wolves began the meeting of analysis and summary. The meeting mainly revolves around the death of the wolf king, and the big hard and weird stick that the man dropped on the ground.

Finally, the seven most respected old wolves in the pack gave their opinion.

In the future, if you encounter a big stick that makes a loud noise, emits smoke, and emits a pungent smell, everyone should stay away.

Such humans are terrible, and one person can kill many of our wolves. Therefore, this knowledge should be spread to other wolves and passed on from generation to generation.

Since then, the horrific legend of a human with a musket has been passed down from generation to generation.

Later generations of uneducated human beings foolishly thought that wolves were afraid of muskets, but in fact......

Xiao Feng lay on the back of the yellow horse, and because he had no saddle or stirrups, he had to pull its mane to prevent himself from slipping down.

The wild horses galloped wildly, Xiao Feng wiped the wolf blood on his face, and found that the compass was also lost, and he didn't know which direction he was running now.

The wild horses stopped a few times in the middle of the herd, rested, graze, and then continued to run.

This is the way of life of steppe wild horses, they spend their lives running freely, and no predator can stop them until they die.

For the extra person on the back of the head horse, the adult mustangs turned a blind eye. Although wild horses are not allowed to be ridden, they do not despise their own kind of people who are willing to run on their own and do not feel that they are operating illegally.

But some of the ponies were amazed, and they ran up to the yellow gelding, tilted their heads to look at the human on the boss's back, and wondered why the boss who had the most fights and the fastest would be willing to carry such a thing.

One of the ponies had an unruly yellow hair, a thick skeleton, and a very fast runner, with the same iron bones on his back.

The rest and running continued all night, and as the day dawned, a majestic wall appeared in the distance. Datong City is in sight.

The wild horses stopped at the end of the grassland, Xiao Feng tentatively patted the yellow horse's neck, and the yellow horse rubbed Xiao Feng's hand affectionately, but refused to go any further.

Xiao Feng understood, he turned over and dismounted, gently stroking the yellow horse's already long mane, but he couldn't say a word.

The yellow horse stretched out its tongue and licked Xiao Feng's hand, turned its head and galloped towards the depths of the grassland, and the wild horses followed behind it, stepping on the grassland like waves, like an ancient legend gradually disappearing into time.

"Lao Huang, you were born to be a wild horse! You have to live freely, marry more wives, and have more children! ”

When Xiao Feng appeared under Datong City, Qiu Luan on the city wall almost fell off the city wall. He rushed down the city tower with a rolling belt, for fear that Xiao Feng would not be able to take a slow step.

Don't blame Qiu Luan for being afraid, it's really Xiao Feng's appearance that is too scary. The white robe he used to wear was gone, and the green robe was torn apart, and layers of dark red blood stuck to his body.

The blood on his face was wiped twice with his sleeve, barely allowing Qiu Luan to recognize his appearance. The whole body is still relatively complete is a belt, and there is an embroidered spring knife without a scabbard diagonally inserted in the belt.

This shape is really different from Xiao Feng's usual dignified and chic, and the appearance of the fairy wind bones, if it weren't for Qiu Luan's being too familiar with him, he might not dare to open the door to him if he was a different person.

"Lord Xiao, what are you...... This is...... Did you lose the battle? What about Qi Jiguang? He's not going to be ......"

Seeing Qiu Luan's worried look, Xiao Feng waved his hand to stop his brain supplement.

"Qi Jiguang won, I made a bet with Altan Khan, and I also won. After that, there was no great sweat on the steppe, because there was a great sweat everywhere. ”

Qiu Luan breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiao Feng's appearance was really far from what he said, so Qiu Luan had to ask again.

"Altan Khan agreed? Would he be willing to be one of the Great Khans of the steppe? That's a rarity......"

Xiao Feng nodded: "He's dead." Let's go to the city, I'll take a shower, Qi Jiguang should soon bring you to Datong with the Great Khan.

They can't find me on the grassland, and they will definitely come to Datong City to see what is going on. I'll make an appearance on the walls, and I'll leave the rest to you. ”

Sure enough, as Xiao Feng expected, that night, Qi Jiguang and the leaders of the various tribes came to Datong City.

The clan leaders quarreled fiercely along the way. Some people think that Altan Khan is dead, and naturally the bet is lost.

The other faction believes that winning or losing in the bet only involves Xiao Feng's life and death, and has nothing to do with whether Altan Khan dies or not.

"If Xiao Feng dies, he will naturally not be able to return to Datong, and he will naturally lose, which has nothing to do with whether Altan Khan dies or not. If Xiao Feng loses, then Da Ming will no longer be able to interfere in the affairs of the grassland in the future! ”

"You don't want Daming to take care of the grassland, what about the grain? Also, do you have a bad heart for our tribe and want to be the second steppe khan? ”

"The Ming Dynasty can't interfere in the affairs of the grassland, it doesn't mean that it can't sell us grain! How can this be confused? ”

"You want to be beautiful, and don't let people take care of you, why should people sell you food? See how beautiful you look? ”

"Although I am beautiful, it has nothing to do with whether or not I am sold food!"

All the quarrels stopped the moment Xiao Feng boarded the Datong city wall. Xiao Feng was dressed in a green robe and a white robe, flying in the wind, with a striking demeanor.

Because of the distance, the clan leaders under the city who did not have binoculars could not see the exhaustion on Xiao Feng's face, and could only hear his calm voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have won! Everyone has sworn to the Immortal Heaven, and if anyone dares to break the oath, the Immortal Heaven will definitely condemn the crime!

When the time comes, don't blame Da Ming for doing the way for the heavens, and ask the immortal heavens to testify for us! ”

The piece of rune paper that Xiao Feng was holding in his hand waved lightly behind him, and it was instantly burned into ashes. His face was much paler.

A thunderbolt suddenly sounded in the sky, like a response from the Immortal Heaven. The Ming soldiers are okay, after all, they have heard a lot about Xiao Feng.

The leaders of the tribes of the steppe had never seen such a formation. When they saw that Xiao Feng had won the bet, most of them had already decided to admit defeat in the bet, and a handful of the more stubborn ones were also frightened by the thunder.

Immortal heaven, don't be deceived. Even if the immortal heaven can be bullied, it seems that the way of the Ming Dynasty is more terrifying, so forget it.

"Xiao Tianshi, we are willing to abide by the oath, coexist peacefully, and respect the Ming Dynasty! If someone tries to dominate the grassland, we should fight it together with the Ming Dynasty! ”
