Chapter 12 Flying Eagles and Lacking Dogs
?「「
A valley surrounded by the dense woods. A mottled path of unknown age passes through the woods and passes through the valley and enters the other side of the mountain. This is a road to enter the deep mountains from the outside. Although there are roads elsewhere, it is best to walk the road at the closest.
On the hillside on the east side, more than twenty men were hiding in the bushes, each holding crossbow arrows, and more than twenty people were scattered around with bow-back arrows. Behind them was a cave, and there was no way to go in the cave.
On the mountain road ahead, there was a faint figure. The people were divided into several strands and moved forward carefully. Seeing this scene, the ambushed men became more and more careful. They were all still and held their breath, fearing that they would leave the "prey".
They were hunting, with the so-called official army who were going to enter the mountains to harm the mountain people, as well as those people with no conscience, those bastards who should have helped their own people but helped outsiders for a little sweetness.
They were soldiers from Heiwuzhai. The Zhou army entered the mountain for the second time and was in full force. However, the leader of the village had already led the people to retreat and defected to the allied village. If the other party came to chase, they would chase further and further. However, they would ambush organically and eat the Zhou army bit by bit.
There are more than twenty people in front of you now, but you must be walking in front of you to explore the path. There will be some people behind you. If the ambush is successful, they will make great contributions.
Just like last time, the arrogant Zhou army was brought in and deliberately retreated, making the other party rushing over like a tiger smelling blood, and finally set up an ambush in a valley, killing these people without leaving any one.
This time, the Zhou army seemed to have learned the teachings and adopted a step-by-step strategy, slowly advancing into the mountains. The Heiwu Village Master sent several groups of people to harass him, but they were unable to come back. The culprit was the village masters who were accomplices of the tiger.
It doesn't matter, they also have friends in Heiwu Village. Several big villages have sent people to support them, and they want to continue to harass the Zhou army along the way, driving away these bastards who covet the mountains, and then teach those camp leaders who are sting outside.
Seeing that the other party was about to enter the ambush circle, a black shadow suddenly swept past. Someone looked up and saw that it was a harrier eagle. The harrier eagle was hovering over their heads for some reason and whistled from time to time.
"It was the harrier hawk they raised. This broken bird has discovered us!" Someone cursed in a low voice. Some hunters in the mountains also have tame harrier hawks, which are usually used to catch hares. If you have good skills, you can train harrier hawks that can find large prey.
They were in a dilemma at this time. The other party should have discovered themselves, but they have not yet gotten closer. If they shoot arrows and crossbows, it is meaningless to wait.
Another chirping sounded, and a harrier eagle rose from the mountain, bigger than the previous one. It was raised by the masters of Heiyun Village, and rushed straight towards the enemy's harrier eagle.
"Do it!!" someone shouted, and they rushed towards the figures that were dodging ahead, just to rush to the range and shoot arrows. The crossbowman took the lead in shooting the crossbow arrows. Although the distance was a little longer, the crossbow arrows could at least be able to catch them. As for whether they were dodging, they would ignore them.
The ambush location of the Black Mist Village soldiers selected for Zé is very good. The hillside is not too steep and there is a thatch that is tall for cover. If the opponent wants to attack from the back, they cannot get up. They can attack tentatively. If the situation is not good, they will run away from the cave.
However, not only did they move, but the ambushed people on the opposite side also moved. Countless roars sounded, and many figures drilled into the grass. I saw the thatch swaying and many traces of Tao rushed towards the ambush.
"It's a dog, they let the dog go!!"
"Escape quickly, enter the cave!"
A scream sounded, and someone was thrown to the ground by the hunting dogs who rushed over. These hunting dogs were extremely fast and were not affected by the undulating slopes. There were also thatch everywhere blocking their sight, so the soldiers of Heiyun Village were unable to aim at the hunting dogs that were approaching quickly.
They didn't expect that the other party would actually be accompanied by a hunting dog. Generally, the hunting dog would scream from time to time, but the other party's hunting dog did not make any sound before, so the people of Heiyun Village were caught off guard.
The crossbowman behind saw his companions screaming from the slope. In desperation, he turned around and ran into the cave. In this case, he wanted to fight with the flexible hunting dog, and only by escaping to guard the entrance of the cave can he escape organically.
They ran faster, but the hunting dogs ran faster. These black-colored hunting dogs quickly chased after them. They bit their ankles and pulled the person down. However, they rushed up and bit them. Someone swung the crossbow and knocked one of the hunting dogs away, and then kicked the other hunting dog down with all their might. Seeing the hole in front of them, they were shot at the back shoulder by an arrow after running a few steps.
He staggered and barely stopped, but a severe pain came from his right ankle, and then his thigh was bitten by a hunting dog. He was pulled to the ground and struggled constantly. His whole body was bitten so hard that his skin was blooming and he kept wailing.
With the raid of the hunting dog, the ambushed people turned around and beat the ambush into pieces. The ground was bloody, and the sky was not deserted. Two harriers, one big and one small, were hovering and fighting.
Although the smaller Hawk was at a disadvantage, he was still fearless and ripped off with the other party. Every time the two eagles confronted each other, they would tear off several feathers.
In the midst of life and death, a harrier eagle suddenly rushed down from above, and rushed towards the big harrier eagle with lightning speed. The blood light splattered and the feathers were swayed.
The situation suddenly changed. The big harrier eagle flapped its wings and wanted to escape elsewhere, but the two little harrier eagles were chased by them. They were unable to stand up for a few rounds and cried out several times, falling to the ground like a stone.
It fell into the air and suddenly flew towards the north. It used to commit suicide to get a glimmer of hope. However, the two little harrier eagles that rushed over blocked the way. After some tearing, the big harrier eagles fell to the ground with blood.
Two sharp whistles sounded one after another, and the little harrier eagle flew in the same direction at the same time. On a small hill, two young men surrounded by more than ten people stretched out their left hands wearing leather hoods, allowing the two harrier eagles to fall steadily.
"Along, your kite is cruel enough. You have to beat it even if you can't beat it. You really look like the master." A young man smiled. He spoke in local dialect, but his eyebrows were a little close, and he looked like a single-line eyebrows. He picked up the slices of meat and fed the harrier hawk on his left hand.
Tian Yilong smiled and said nothing, just looking at his scarred harrier eagle, he could see a little distress. Seeing this, Yizimei released the harrier eagle again and said with concern: "This injury can still be cured. Don't let it go before recovering the injury. If you fly again, it will be useless."
"If you are useless, then take one from you." Tian Yilong said with a quarrel, and he also spoke in local dialect. After feeding a few slices of meat, he blindfolded the eagle eyes and turned it to the eagle bar, put a foot tie for someone else to take.
"Aren't you afraid that Uncle Guang would say you are losing your ambition?" Yizimei said after coughing dryly.
"Now he has no time to care about me." Tian Yilong didn't care.
"That's right. At the beginning of the year, Uncle Guang hugged his nephew and couldn't even close his mouth." Yizimei was helpless, "When the old man came back, he shouted to ask the matchmaker to say hello!"
"Don't you have a good relationship?"
"The old man doesn't like it! It's said that the leader of the village has a daughter." Yizimei said this and showed a bitter look, "I sneaked into the village and went to explore it once, wow! When the fight starts, it's even more fierce than the man!"
While the two were talking, several people ran up the hill and reported that most of the people who were ambushed were caught by them, but some of them were still far away and a cave was found on the hillside.
Yizimei said after hearing this, "Look at the hawk in the sky, if it flies around wherever it is nearby, then there are still people, you can take them to catch them."
Tian Yilong ordered his followers to take back the hunting dog. He turned to the side and said to the several generals in armor that the road was clear, but there was a cave over there. The leader nodded and then marched under the command: "Save the time, set up the village in the valley. There is a cave over there. You can send someone to block it!"
Teams of soldiers wearing armor drove away. On the other hand, more than a dozen people holding hunting dogs walked in the opposite direction. They came to the hill and stopped, took out pieces of meat from the basket and fed these ferocious objects with blood stains.
"You have spent a lot of money on these hunting dogs." Yizimei sighed, "According to this usage, how many more than a dozen can be left?"
"It's better than a dead person. Tian Yunshan is an old fox, and he can't catch it without spending money." Tian Yilong, "I said why don't you wear armor? Didn't you send a lot of collars? Why don't you wear them all?"
"This thing is uncomfortable to wear and easy to hold on. The main thing is that it cannot prevent mosquitoes and snakes from being bitten by hands and feet. It is easy to be hung by branches when drilling around in this mountain. What kind of shit ring lock armor is not as good as the legendary one."
"The ring lock armor is called "suffering"? You have never worn the sleeve armor. This thing is a hidden arrow. If you are bitten by a snake, it is worth it!" Tian Yilong pulled open his robe and exposed the ring lock armor he was wearing inside. The armor consists of iron rings, which looks like an iron chain clothes.
"The mountains are very wet, and it is easy to get sweat when worn. I'm afraid this thing will rust in a short time, right? The iron rings are small holes. How can I remove the rust at that time? Don't tell me to burn it with fire."
"Just shake it from time to time. If it is rust severely, it can be removed by washing it with sand. I've tried it."
"Wash with sand? What the government has made is really strange. If you take out all your belongings to help them this time, aren't you afraid of losing money?" Yizimei asked again, "Every time you go to fight, you will be freed dogs. Where do you get so many, it's not easy to train one."
Tian Yilong said that it is only useful to fight in the mountains. If you set up a battle with the enemy on the plain, these hawks will naturally not be used. The crowds in the military camps and smells make the hunting dogs at a loss and are easily frightened. Even the warning at night is not easy to use.
As for the Harrier Eagle, there is no shortage of strong bows in the army, so it will be shot down when it is not careful. This time it is useful because the terrain in the mountains is complicated and the situation is special.
"The government army is setting up a village. It seems that it will be stationed here for a while. I don't know if the old ghosts in Tian Yunshan will send people to make trouble." Yizimei fiddled with a dagger, "Yang Sima sent us to hunt. It would be boring if there is no prey."
"No hurry, hunt around, why don't you surround me? How can you hunt Yuwen Jun have time to deal with them?"
"If you wait in place, the prey won't come to your door." Yizimei grinned, "Whether we come or not, we will go find them first, what?"
"This is their land, so be careful." Tian Yilong was a little cautious. Although everyone was used to crossing mountains and ridges, the group of people in Tian Yunshan were old residents here after all, and their understanding of the terrain was better than that of them.
"The tiger also thought the mountain was its territory, and it was different for hunters to kill. They thought we would be timid and would be unscrupulous, and it would be even more rampant at night."
"At night? Do you want to attack at night? Then beware of wild beasts and venomous snakes. What do you think?"
"There are many rats at night, so we can just guard the granary, hehe." Yizimei smiled, pointing to the cage placed beside him, "With it, many rats cannot escape even when they come."
Tian Yilong looked at the cage that was covered with cloth, and first wondered for a moment and exclaimed: "No, you have even domesticated such things?"
