Chapter 23 A Light A Thousand Miles
The team is too large, and except for the Fire Wolf Cavalry, everyone is walking, and the soldiers in front are also responsible for opening the road, so they can't get up at all.
According to the current marching speed, it would be nice to be able to advance fifty miles a day, which was very different from Li Yuanba’s expectations.
Jinyang City was originally a thousand miles away from Luoyang City. Now the world has undergone a major change, which is probably more than two thousand miles away. With all kinds of unknown difficulties and obstacles, I don’t know if Li Yuanba’s expected goal of arriving in Luoyang City in three months can be achieved.
The team that was walking in a winding manner continued for nearly five miles. Ma Chao led a cavalry in a hundred-man team to report: "Lord, three miles ahead are already the border of this grassland, but found a herd of ten thousand horses surrounded by nearly ten thousand wolves, and the two sides are fighting in a melee!"
"What a coincidence?" Li Yuanba was shocked when he heard this, "Let's go, take a look."
Li Yuanba’s favorite thing is to take advantage of the situation. This kind of confrontation between the two ethnic groups is very popular. He ordered the team to temporarily stop moving forward, and led the guards to run quickly. He quickly arrived at the edge of the incident with Ma Chao and others.
The grassland here is close to several small earth slopes. The disappeared official road passes between the two earth slopes. On the earth slope, more than 10,000 horses fought with nearly 10,000 green wolf horses led by nearly 10,000 horses that looked like elephants.
However, depending on the situation, both sides are evenly matched, and no one has the upper hand. The number of mutated giant wolf in the wolves is similar to that in the mutated giant horse in the horse's herd, and there are less than a hundred horses. The soldiers on both sides will fight against each other and fight against generals.
Among them, a giant horse with a snow-white body and a cluster of fiery red hair on its forehead was the most eye-catching. The other giant horses seemed to be headed by it, and under its leadership, they launched waves of charge towards the wolves.
Li Yuanba saw with his own eyes that a giant wolf as big as a buffalo was kicked away by the white horse leader, and he screamed and couldn't stand up!
"Ah... it's Dabai!"
Li Yuanba is very familiar with this big horse. It is one of the three treasures given to him by the master: a lamp with a thousand miles!
Since the arrival of the doomsday, all the cattle, sheep and horses have run out of Jinyang City, even their own mounts. Unexpectedly, they met again as soon as they left Jinyang City, and Dabai actually became the leader of more than 10,000 tribes.
"The guards and the Fire Wolf Cavalry all attacked, kill the wolves and rescue the horses!"
Li Yuanba didn't care whether Dabai recognized his master or not, and immediately ordered to summon the "Golden Hammer of Drum Beating" and ran towards Dabai.
"The personal guards are in line, come with me!" Yuchi Gong shouted the order.
"Come together with the fire wolf cavalry and attack with a certain family!" Ma Chao's movements were one step faster, and soon the formation was completed and the wolf pack was charged.
Li Yuanba was extremely fast and rushed straight towards Dabai's direction of "a lamp with a thousand miles". A pair of sledgehammers easily knocked away the wolves along the way, plowed out a bloody road, and arrived not far from Dabai.
"Dabai! Don't panic, I'm here!" He shouted loudly, then waved his double hammers and joined the battle.
"Huihui..." Dabai was trapped in the siege of wolves. Hearing an extremely familiar shout. When he saw the master coming, he screamed excitedly, bitten, kicked away the two giant wolves and moved closer to Li Yuanba.
"Bang bang..." Two hammers lifted two giant wolves away. Li Yuanba met with Dabai in a short while. Seeing that although this big guy changed in shape, his eyes were as clear as Xiao Hei, and obviously he still maintained his true nature, he was overjoyed.
"Haha! Dabai, you guy disappeared in an instant, I thought you were lost."
"Huihui..." Dabai and his master looked very excited. He came to Li Yuanba and stretched his big head into Li Yuanba's arms and rubbed it, as if he was acting coquettish.
"Okay, Dabai, continue to lead your men, let's kill these wolves together."
Dabai's intelligence has improved greatly now. Hearing this, he clicked his big head, raised his head and roared a few times, and continued to rush as Li Yuanba began to charge.
The horses, which were originally comparable to the wolves, were killed by Li Yuanba and the help of eight thousand iron-blooded soldiers in less than a quarter of an hour. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining wolves retreated quickly under the leadership of the wolf king, and disappeared in a while.
"Dabai, why don't you go back? It makes me worried so much."
After the battle, Li Yuanba put away his hammer and asked with one hand touching Dabai's big head.
He had lived with Dabai for two years with his master Ziyang Zhenren, and his relationship was deep, but he would not believe that Dabai would not go home without a reason.
“Huihui…”
Dabai pointed at the direction of the horse tribe with his big head and shouted softly to Li Yuanba with grievance.
"Oh, I understand." Li Yuanba suddenly realized, "You guy, after becoming the King of Horses, can't bear to part with these subordinates, right?"
"Hahaha..." I really came to whatever I wanted. I was worried about not having a war horse to ride or pull a cart, but now it was a good opportunity. "Dabai, tell your subordinates, how about joining our army?"
Nowadays, all living things are full of wisdom. Li Yuanba would not think that the other party had no idea and asked tentatively.
Dabai nodded his big head and called the leader of the group of horses who had gathered. The two sides began to communicate. After a moment, Dabai roared twice, and the group of horses bowed their heads, which was considered to be agreeing with Dabai's opinion.
Most of these war horses ran out of the Li family's military camp. The leading horses Li Yuanba actually had an impression of them and were not disgusted with humans. It was not difficult to convince them.
"Lord, this is..." Yuchi Gong brought five battalion commanders around him. Seeing these horses who had not left were very jealous, he asked Li Yuanba with bright eyes.
"Yes, just like you think." Li Yuanba was overjoyed, "Most of this horse group were originally military horses from Jinyang City, and they have followed us again."
"Jingde, there are nearly a hundred mutant horses, including Wuzhi and other super war horses. You, a few generals and battalion commanders, will be used to equip the guards first, and the rest will be used to pull the cart first, but the mare and foal will be ordered to take care of themselves first, so that we can make plans for the entire army in the future."
"Abide by the order!" Yuchi Gong smiled with a big black face and a blooming chrysanthemum. He quickly began to choose his own partner, and he was dazzled for a moment.
At this time, a black shadow rushed over. It turned out that Xiao Hei came with Li Xiuning and Zhu'er girl.
As soon as Li Xiuning arrived, she flew over and jumped down from Xiao Hei's back and strode to a fiery red mutant mare, "Xiao Hong! I miss you so much."
This mare was Li Xiuning's original mount and one of the most powerful mutant horses in the herd. When they met their owner again, each person and each horse were extremely excited and fought together.
Because of this sudden situation, the team stopped and rested for a while. The generals and the guards were happily selecting mounts. After picking out more than 6,000 war horses, the people, led by craftsmen, peeled and slaughtered the corpses of the newly harvested wolves, made into jerky meat to store the fur, and immediately made on-site, and then made a large amount of saddles.
After the horse herd mutated, the four hooves became very strong, so Li Yuanba did not need to order the horseshoe to be made, which saved a major issue.
