第122章 No.15幕 危厄伏 五

Chi Lang didn't expect that there would be a threat to attack from behind, so he had to temporarily let go of the two on Wu Chen's back, and turned his minions to face the cavalry with a low growl.The long hairs on the wolf's back stood up like steel needles.

The iron mountains lined up in a line are like a steel wall representing death.The cavalry rushed down from the high place at the entrance of the col, and with only one charge, the three wolves were cut off in two on the spot, with blood splattered and internal organs flowing.Although the last wolf was not hit by the knife, its spine was broken by the iron hoof of the war horse. It could only drag its immobile lower body with its two front legs, and hid in the rock crevice beside it with difficulty.

Tie Chongshan had never seen such a huge wolf before. While shaking off the stinky wolf blood dripping from the tip of the knife, he led his horse to stand in front of the galloping wolf from a distance, watching it spitting blood and dying. , talking in a low voice.

"His Royal Highness is not injured, right? The old minister deserves death, and it is almost too late!"

The old general in white iron armor is particularly conspicuous in the dark iron heavy mountain team.He led his horse forward and asked the girl who hadn't recovered from the shock with concern.

Jiang Yan's palms were also covered with cold sweat, but he only slightly changed the position of holding the knife, and did not release the defense. Instead, he reminded loudly before Tuya responded:

"Don't be too careless! The number of wolves may be far more than we thought! Kill that wolf quickly, lest it reveal our position!"

The young man's words also reminded Yuan Ti, and he immediately waved his hand and ordered Tie Chongshan to kill the last wolf.However, before the cavalry could make a move, the galloping wolf, which had already been feces and urine, suddenly struggled and raised its head high, and let out a final high-pitched and mournful howl into the depths of the valley.

Jiang Yan thumped in his heart, and immediately raised his eyes to look into the gray-white snow mist, only to see a few groups of dark gray shadows appeared at the end of his line of sight only a hundred steps away.The shadows gathered more and more, and they actually merged into one piece on the high ground around the col!
The wolf ears protruding in the snow looked like huge fangs at this moment, turning the entire mountain valley into a terrifying huge wolf mouth.The low growls gradually overshadowed the wind in everyone's ears, and the faint sound of the wolf teeth rubbing against each other could be vaguely heard, as if they were biting on everyone's bones.

"Get on your horse! Get on your horse! Form your formation!"

Yuan Ti immediately rode his horse and ran to Tie Chongshan's side, beating the iron armor on the opponent's body with the spine of the knife.The cavalry moved their mounts in a panic, but they huddled together in the mountain depression.The armor collided with the weapon, making a clanging sound, and it was in a mess.

Suddenly, a war horse was so frightened that it neighed and stood up, throwing the rider on its back to the ground on the spot.The howling of the horse seemed to be an attack signal to the wolves who had closed the encirclement.Hearing a series of short low barks, the wolves rushed down from the hillside, like a gray-brown tide.

The paws of galloping wolves are far more flexible than the four hooves of war horses on the mountain. Although the dozen or so wolves rushing forward were hit by the sharp arrows shot by the riders, they did not stop and still rushed forward a long way before falling to the ground. Exhausted.The rest of the galloping wolves following behind them used the bodies of their companions as a cover, and braved the rain of arrows, they quickly approached the place only a few steps away from the Iron Mountain.But at this time, the chaotic people and horses have not yet lined up!
The heavy armored cavalry pulled out their sabers one after another, and swung them at the wolf shadow who was already close at hand.But this time, the number and speed of the galloping wolves had the advantage, and they were far more vicious and difficult than the three giant wolves who were killed by surprise before.

In this way, the cavalry, who had already lost the advantage of charging, not only could not block this attack, but also completely exposed the flaws of themselves and their horses to the wolf teeth and claws after swinging their knives.Under the collision, more and more war horses no longer obeyed the command of the riders on their backs, and spread their legs and fled in all directions.

Tie Chongshan, who was out of formation, had no choice but to fight on his own.At first, relying on the iron armor on their bodies, the attack of the pack of wolves did not seem to pose much threat to them.However, it never occurred to him that the wolves knew how to be flexible, and quickly concentrated their attacks on the horse's legs that were not protected by armor.

Soon, the horses whose legs and feet had been bitten off crashed to the ground, and the soldiers who were unable to escape in the future also fell heavily on the ground.

The knights were still wielding their sabers, but they were extremely clumsy among the wolves that were tossing and turning.The giant wolves swarmed up, tearing away the last layer of protection from the man and the horse through the gaps in the armor, and then bit the neck of the defenseless prey.

Amidst the screams of dying and struggling, the pack of wolves licked the fresh blood that hadn't stopped flowing, tore off the warm muscles that were still twitching slightly, and feasted on them!
"Get off the horse, get off the horse! Follow me to line up and protect the princess!"

After all, Yuan Ti had personally experienced the Shuodi Rebellion, so he immediately ordered the remaining soldiers to form a semicircular formation around Wu Chen who was carrying the young girl. But the moon array is here!

The Queyue formation was originally a formation created for infantry armed with spears and giant shields.In the formation, three armored soldiers form a group, one holds a bow, one holds a shield, and one holds a spear, and each group serves as a guard for each other.When attacking, rely on a shield as high as one person to form an arc-shaped iron wall as dense as an iron barrel. Those who are far away will shoot at them, and those who are close will kill them. They will advance step by step and steadily.If they are unfortunately dispersed, they can also shrink into several full moon-like circular formations for defense.

Although the cavalry is using this formation at the moment, it cannot exert one-tenth of its power.However, although Tie Chongshan didn't have a shield in his hand, the iron armor on his body made them an iron turtle that was difficult to break through quickly.At this time, the two of them acted as shields for each other, one was the main attacker and the other was the defense, unexpectedly temporarily blocked Chi Lang's attack.

Unfortunately, there were too many wolves, and although many of them were beheaded, the remaining bloodthirsty beasts still roared forward on the corpses of their own kind, and repeatedly knocked down the soldiers serving as human shields. On the ground, he quickly withdrew from the attack range of the saber before the main attacking armored soldier approached.

However, in the wheel battle with the pack of wolves, the soldiers quickly exhausted their physical strength.Someone was carelessly dragged out of the formation, and immediately turned into countless pieces of flesh and blood.With the sudden decrease in the number of people, they could no longer maintain the tightness of the formation, and loopholes appeared frequently.

Seeing that the Yueyue Formation was no longer effective, Yuan Ti realized that facing these fierce and cunning beasts, they had lost their last remaining advantage, so he could only let Jiang Yan and a few Tie Chongshan lead Tuya behind him Backed away from a jagged cliff.Although this completely cut off the back route, he could also use the rock wall to erect a barrier behind him that was difficult for wolves to outflank.He planned to reorganize his formation here, relying on the terrain to start a desperate fight with the pack of wolves.

The giant wolf has completely gained the upper hand at this moment, and it only needs to continue to attack for a few more rounds before it can completely bury the desperate human army on the opposite side.However, at the critical moment of life and death, a short and loud whistle suddenly sounded in the mountain depression.

At the same time as the whistle sounded, the wolves stopped biting at the same time, and stood there in a daze.They wrinkled their noses and stared viciously at the front with their greenish-yellow wolf eyes. The completely at a loss cavalry seemed unwilling to leave.But soon another whistle sounded, and Chi Lang just tucked his tail, growled and slowly backed away, quickly disappearing into the wind and snow.

"These monsters are really raised here, and they will listen to the command of the master!"

General Yan in the army was drenched in blood, pushed aside the two heavy iron mountains in front of him, raised his neck and looked in the direction of the whistle while holding the wolf-blooded Mo Dao.Yuan Ti reached out and grabbed him from behind, shouting:

"I don't know when the wolves will come back. Let's check around to see how many people are alive! Right now we are no match for those wild beasts. The most urgent thing is to send the princess away as soon as possible, and we can't stay any longer!"

The Iron Mountains who were originally invincible, now only a few people are still able to stand up.Many people were ripped off half a leg or a piece of arm by the galloping wolf, and they fell in a pool of blood and howled.What's more, in the melee just now, he was bitten by two giant wolves on the head and feet, and his waist was torn into two pieces.

However, among the stumps and corpses all over the ground, there was no corpse of Chilang at all!

Only then did everyone realize that this attack by the wolves was not just for killing, but more like a warning to themselves, warning them not to trespass into this unknown mountain without authorization.Jiang Yan suddenly got excited, turned his head and asked Yuan Ti who was comforting Tuya:
"How did the old general mobilize Tie Chongshan today? And why did he find us so quickly?"

"These heavy iron mountains are all borrowed by the old minister from Hehan. You stole the horses from the stables, and the old minister followed the footprints on the ground to catch up. But before that, someone handed such a letter to my account .”

As Yuan Ti said, he took out a piece of parchment the size of a palm that had already been stained red by blood from his bosom.I saw a few very simple words written on it:
"Take the blood as a lesson, and the next one will not be an example."

"Taking blood as a guide, could it be that the other party didn't intend to keep us alive from the very beginning, but just notified you to collect the corpse?"

The young man's heart trembled—when he had narrowly escaped death before the gate of hell, he didn't think of this level, he just thought it was a chance encounter.Looking at the words on the parchment now, I can't help feeling a little scared.

The old general nodded slightly: "No matter who the wolf breeder is, he is using this move to clearly warn us not to care about these wolves. It seems that the other party not only knows the internal situation of Muyun , and can clearly know everyone's movements, even including Hehan and Princess Tuya!"

"You mean, maybe there is an eyeliner planted by this person around us?" Jiang Yan couldn't help but asked again.

"It's just maybe..." Having said this, Yuan Ti frowned suddenly.

"What is the old general thinking?"

"I'm thinking, the Muyun Department has only a mere ten thousand people, and each of the big families has their own spheres of influence. If there is an eyeliner, it is absolutely impossible to hide it so well."

"What does the old general mean? Could it be that the one who raised Chi wolves in this snow-capped mountain probably colluded with someone from the Muyun Department? Could it be that someone in the clan intends to replace the current Hehan?"

Jiang Yan was even surprised by his own speculation.Yuan Ti did not answer immediately, but asked back:

"Has the princess ever told you why King Tieqin was able to re-establish the long-lost Iron Mountain in just a few years?"

Seeing that the black-eyed boy shook his head, the old man asked himself and answered: "The old minister still remembers very clearly that a mysterious man who came from afar suddenly visited Tie Qinhan and reminded him that if he doesn't rebuild a family for his family A strong and loyal heavy armored cavalry team, I am afraid that in the future, the surname of Bakwuqin will no longer exist on the grassland."

"Why is that?"

"Prairie people have always only respected the strong. Whoever has absolute power can become king. And if anyone loses power, his whole family will become slaves of others. These wolves should be deliberately fighting against They are raised in this mountain of iron, waiting for the opportunity to move. Their goal is also obvious, that is, the Bakwuqin family, which is now in decline, but still holds the power of the Muyun Department!"

"The old general thinks, who is this person?"

"It's hard to say. After all, there have been entanglements and disputes between the major families since a long time ago, so there are naturally not a few people who want to replace the Bakwuqin family to take the seat of Hehan. But—— —”

When Yuan Ti said this, he suddenly paused, "However, I have a vague feeling that the matter of raising Chi wolves may also have something to do with that mysterious man back then."

"Why do you think so? Didn't that person suggest that Bakwuqin's family rebuilt Iron Mountain?"

Jiang Yan suddenly couldn't understand.

"Although Tie Chongshan originated from the Muyun Department, it was completely forgotten by this grassland in the end. If it weren't for the help of that mysterious person back then, King Tieqin would never have dared to think about rebuilding it, and it would never have been possible to implement it. It is even more unusual for ordinary people to be able to raise galloping wolves. After thinking about it, there are people with this ability in the entire grassland. Except for the mysterious person who helped Tie Qinhehan back then, I am afraid that there is no other person in the world. .”

"Who is this mysterious person? And why did he deliberately stir up internal fighting in the Muyun Department?"

"The grassland is in chaos, so it is profitable. Thinking back to the mysterious man back then, he claimed to be a wandering traveler. He just loved collecting rare things in the world, and he had read many long-forgotten books and classics, so he was knowledgeable. Guang. He speaks with some strange accents, obviously not from this grassland, but he can't tell which state or country the accent is from."

"What is this life like?"

"The old minister can still vaguely recall that the man seemed to have the appearance of a thin scholar. He is not good at using weapons, but he is good at witchcraft and spells. He can ignite fire in the air, and can also make wind on the ground. Just move his lips, It can roll up the yellow sand and dust, covering the sky and the sun. What he is wearing is a strange cloak, with lines like fish scales, but it is extremely smooth to the touch..."

Yuan Ti's memories made the black-eyed boy even more surprised.Because of the other party's description, he suddenly remembered the large cloak that Ning Yue wore when he first met Ning Yue.Later, when she was in the General's Temple and Hailing Island, the extremely powerful, even somewhat terrifying power erupted from the girl was exactly the same as the old man's description of witchcraft and spells.

Suddenly, countless questions about the red-haired girl popped up in Jiang Yan's heart.And the life experience that the other party has always refused to reveal to him has become a knot in the hearts of young people that is becoming more and more difficult to untie.However, these questions and knots may not be able to get satisfactory answers in his life.

The young man didn't continue to ask any more questions, but lowered his head a little dejectedly, stepped on Wuchen again, and followed the wounded team to the outside of the mountain depression.He left with him, and he didn't know whether it was the endless longing for the red-haired girl in his heart, or the fear of the giant wolf hiding in the mountains.
