After some discussion, everyone rode their horses towards the Huangshui River.
Because the area near Konoha Mountain is the most severely affected by wolf attacks right now.
With a strong love for their nation, a group of Khitan teenagers prepared to go to the Huangshui tribe to stop the wolf pack.
In fact, everyone may not understand why Qian Muran proposed to compete in archery with Chuolizhi and others.
The Khitan people are a nation on horseback. The young sons of this nation receive archery and horse training from a young age. Qian Muran actually competes with them in archery. Is he sure he can win
Qian Muran's master was Cheng Lianshi. If we say that her martial arts are better than those of Chuolizhi, Yelu Duozhen and others, everyone may understand it; but she and the Khitan teenagers agreed to compete in archery, which is incredible.
Never forget that Qian Muran has Tibetan blood flowing in his body.
The Tubo people were a fighting nation. According to legend, they were the earliest humans born from the union of a macaque and a rock witch. In fact, the Tubo people were descendants of the Mon people, a race that evolved from the later Fa Qiang, Midang and other tribes. They were also a nation on horseback.
Why do we say that Tubo is a fighting nation
Tubo rose to power under the father and son Dabu Niesai and Nangri Lunzan, and stabilized under Songtsen Gampo.
Since its rise, this nation has been constantly conquering foreign countries and has successively conquered many tribes such as Subi, Yangtong, Bailang, Dangxiang, Fuguo, and Jialiangyi.
When Tubo was at its most powerful, its territory stretched from the Pamir Mountains in the west to the Long Mountains and the western edge of the Sichuan Basin in the east; from the Tianshan Mountains and the Juyan Lake in the north to the southern foothills of the Himalayas in the south. It was vast and powerful.
The collapse of the once powerful Tubo was not due to Lalong Baiji Dorje assassinating the last king Dharma Udontsan, but because those who love war will eventually perish.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, wars between Tubo and Tang have broken out countless times, and armistice treaties alone have been signed twenty times. Not only did Tubo fight endlessly with Tang, it also once captured Chang'an. In addition, it also had conflicts with countless surrounding countries.
Tubo rose through annexation and perished due to its bellicosity; those who love bellicosity will inevitably perish, this is Tubo's destiny.
Qian Muran, after all, is a descendant of a fighting nation, and she is also a legitimate princess of the royal family. It can be said that she has never given up practicing archery since she was a child.
Qian Muran, whose martial arts skills are almost at the peak of her skill, combined with her talent and hard work in archery, how could she take a few Khitan boys who haven't even grown all their hair seriously
Huangshui and Tuhe are both the mother rivers of the Khitan people. There are definitely many Khitan herdsmen roaming here. The largest tribe among them is the Huangshui tribe.
But this once powerful tribe has now suffered a devastating blow.
The corpses of cattle and sheep were scattered all over the ground, and countless herdsmen, soldiers, and even herdsmen warriors were also lying dead.
The culprit behind all this is the ferocious wolves, endless ferocious wolves.
The young men who rode here on horseback were all completely stunned when they saw the scene before them.
On the vast land, countless ferocious wolves, like a surging river, were attacking the huge tribe from all directions like surging waves.
“Ahhh…”
"Ahhh, ahhhh..."
“Ahhh…”
... ...
The howling of wolves, which came one after another, was like the waves running day and night, lasting and continuous.
In between, there were also the dying howls of the ferocious wolves, the groans of the Khitans before they were on the verge of death, and their helpless cries.
The whole tribe was in a panic. If it weren't for the countless soldiers and the fearless nomadic warriors who were guarding the outermost part of the tribe and fighting desperately against the endless ferocious wolves, the tribe would have been overwhelmed by the wolf pack in an instant.
The bright silver scimitar was no longer snow-white. It was either stained with bright red blood or had been chopped off with jagged edges, like saw teeth.
There were Khitan archers and even ordinary herdsmen who stood behind the warriors who were fighting in close combat, constantly drawing their bows and drawing arrows, and shooting "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." at the overwhelming wolf pack.
In their eyes, there was nothing but fear and numbness. They had repeated this action countless times.
The archery skills of both archers and ordinary herdsmen are good, but no matter how good the archery skills are, they cannot withstand the endless stream of targets. Even if these ferocious wolves do not attack and stand still for them to shoot, they will be exhausted to death.
What's more, these ferocious wolves are not only extremely vicious, but also very cunning. Their fearlessness of death is no less than those Khitan warriors who disregard their lives.
The wolves' attack became more violent, wave after wave, fearless and unstoppable.
At this time, if there is someone who understands the art of war, standing on a high place and looking in the direction of the wolves rushing forward, he will find that these ferocious wolves are almost always in groups of 20 or 30, and they do not interfere with each other. Their goal is extremely consistent, which is to bite to death any living thing that stands in their way.
Almost every ferocious wolf had bloodshot eyes, as if the Khitans had an irreconcilable hatred with them.
Those soldiers and pastoral warriors kept appearing. Some people were bitten or even killed. Blood was splattered and wolves howled in the sky. This was not a paradise grassland, but a hellish place.
In the battle between humans and wolves, there is no mercy at all, only naked killing and devouring.
Seeing this scene, an idea suddenly came to Qian Muran’s mind: Heshuo’s Wolf Guards had set out.
If we just look at the battle formation, this time the whole army is out in full force.
Yes, these ferocious wolves are essentially the vanguard of the Heshuo army, because they are all under the command of the Wolf Guards.
Zhu Ning'er was kidnapped, and Zhu Li went to the capital alone, which completely angered the entire Heshuo military.
In the direction of Hanoi, Gao Su gave an order, and tens of thousands of Wolf Guards who had been trained with great effort over the past three years came out in full force and attacked the Khitan's lair directly. The range of the attack almost covered the entire area around Konoha Mountain.
Countless Wolf Guards roaming in the northern border received the order, just like worker bees receiving orders from the queen bee. Without any hesitation, they immediately left their cruising area and rushed towards the direction of Huangshui and Tuhe.
Three years ago, Zhu Li had ordered Gao Su to train the Wolf Guards on a large scale. Now the Wolf Guards have grown to a certain size, with at least 20,000 to 30,000 people.
But don't underestimate these two or three thousand people. Each of them controls thirty to forty ferocious wolves. Even if we calculate it as thirty, the thirty thousand Wolf Guards have more than nine hundred thousand ferocious wolves under their command.
There is a folk saying: When the number of people exceeds ten thousand, there is no end in sight; when nine hundred thousand ferocious wolves are wreaking havoc on the grassland, what kind of scene is that? There are ferocious wolves everywhere, omnipresent and pervasive.
What's more, the number of these ferocious wolves is definitely over one million.
Millions of ferocious wolves harassed the Khitan herdsmen, and the army and the herdsmen were completely unable to cope with them.
Gao Su and Guo Qizuo's purpose was very clear, which was to withdraw as many troops as possible from Shangjing and let the Khitans spend a large number of manpower in blocking the ferocious wolves.
When a large number of herdsmen, soldiers and herdsmen warriors were killed, could the Khitan palace army still sit still
The reason they were so confident was that the Wolf Guards, who often dealt with wolves, had long ago figured out a trick; this trick was to make wolves from different groups no longer attack each other when they met each other, as they did before. The overwhelming number of wolves now attacking the tribe with the same goal was proof of this. (This method is kept secret for the time being)
The wolf guards only need to hide in the dark and be responsible for controlling the alpha wolf. Through the alpha wolf, they remotely control their own team of ferocious wolves. They then accept the unified deployment of their superiors and can easily form the current wolf sea tactics.
The Wolf Sea Tactics is a tactic that relies on numerical advantage, regardless of loss or cost, even if it means piling up corpses, to achieve the goal.
Gao Su's Wolf Guard breeding program was very successful. Not only did it prevent the ethnic minorities in the northern border from being frequently harassed by "wolves", it also contributed tons of food to the people of Heshuo every year.
Nowadays, wolf meat has replaced livestock and become a delicacy that often appears in ordinary people's homes.
With so many ferocious wolves, even if many were sacrificed, the Heshuo side would not feel too sad.
On the eastern front of Heshuo, Zhu Ye had already captured Yingzhou, and Gao Yuan soon followed by defeating Li Quanzhong; Liu Rengong and Li Quanzhong, these two unlucky heroes, had now become stray dogs, and fled to Bohai with dozens of remaining troops and their closest relatives.
After Youzhou was pacified, Zhu Ya and Gao Yuan were reorganizing the three armies, preparing to join Geng Xin and march north to rescue their lord.
Of course, these were all responses made by Heshuo to support Zhu Li.
But at this moment, the young Khitan people saw their fellow tribesmen being killed by wolves one after another, and Chuoli was waiting for them, their faces instantly turned ugly.
"Let's go around the back and rush into the tribe. We'll go and help." Chuoli just shouted quickly and rode away on his horse.
Following his shout, the other Khitan teenagers, and even Han Zhigu, a Han Chinese who had assimilated into the Khitan culture, all turned pale and followed him silently, riding their horses towards the Huangshui tribe.
On the field, only Qian Muran, Wenlan and Yangguang were left.
At this moment, all three of them narrowed their eyes and looked indifferent. Qian Muran snorted coldly, and in a voice that only the three of them could hear, he teased: "Are you in a hurry now?"
"When the Khitans came south to harass the Han territory, what was the difference between you and those inhumane wolves?"
"That's right, wolf cub, you were finally eaten by the wolf. This is your retribution." Wenlan rarely said a normal sentence and echoed with a righteous face.
"Should we go and help?" Yangguang asked indifferently.
The scene before our eyes was cruel, but just last year, the Khitans burned, killed and looted tens of thousands of people in Piantou County. This even more cruel incident happened to our Han compatriots, and every Han citizen will always remember this blood feud in their hearts.
Those who kill will be killed. In the eyes of the three ladies, the disaster suffered by the Khitan people was not worthy of sympathy or pity at all. When they raised their butcher knives towards the innocent Han people, they should have thought that their own people would also suffer retribution.
The Han people, when facing their friends, will greet them with flowers and applause; and they will treat their enemies with fangs and spears. "Whoever offends the mighty Han will be punished, although he is far away" is by no means an empty talk.
"Go, of course. How can we compete if we don't go?" Qian Muran said in a loud voice, "Wenlan, Yangguang, you must be careful and help us count the number of wolves we kill. I want to see how good Chuolizhi, who is known as the best young man in Khitan, is at archery."
"No problem." Wenlan and Yangguang responded immediately.
