Chapter 220 No.20 Scene Nine: Wolves Disaster Part [-]
In the second year of Zhaoxi, June [-]rd.

The prairie people did not bring a lot of luggage when marching and fighting. Every ten people shared a tent, and their belongings were only a few pieces of dried beef, cheese, water and food, and three to five spare horses.Under the leadership of General Yan, nearly [-] Red Flame Army marched day and night, changing their mounts at full speed, and crossed the Pinjin River again in just half a month.

But even so, the horses under the knights' crotches are all running with blood red eyes and white foam at the mouth.Locks of sweaty horse hair were knotted together, soaked in sweat again, but there was no time to clean and comb.Nearly [-]% of the horses even fell to the ground halfway because they were too exhausted, and then died.

However, the exhausted Chiyan Army had no time to take into account the immediate losses.Because if they delay on the road for one more day at this time, their parents, wives and children may be more dangerous.

When the horse team arrived at Yanluoyuan, the genius had just begun to dawn.However, on the endless grassland, the rising sun that has never been absent for thousands of years was completely blocked by a large thick cloud that gathered in the sky, and it failed to drive away the thick blackness left by the dark night on the grassland. film.

It was as dark as night all around, and the Red Flame Army even had to light torches.However, after they entered the Hulan Terrace and went deep into the hinterland of Yanluoyuan, someone extinguished the fire in their hands.It seems that only in this way can I pretend that I did not see the tragedy that greeted my eyes.But even so, the unavoidable stench of corpses and blood in the air still made people's throats dry and their scalps numb.

At the foot of Lancang Mountain, where Niyulan was once in full bloom, now there are corpses lying here and there.Among the dead were Tie Chongshan in heavy armor, octogenarians with white beard and hair, and even many women and children who had not put on armor.But in the hands of everyone, there are long or short, sharp or blunt weapons.

In the Red Flame Army, some people began to recognize their family members from the pile of corpses.The soft sobs one after another became more and more uncontrollable, and turned into heart-piercing wailing and roaring.

Jiang Yan knelt on one knee beside a blood-soaked child—the child was wearing a suit of armor that didn't match his body.But perhaps because of this, even though several gaps had been broken in the armor, he still survived firmly in this sea of ​​corpses and blood.

The young Hehan took off the cowhide water bag from his waist, handed it to the child's lips, and carefully poured out some clear water.However, there was a long wound on the child's face, which ran through from his forehead to his chin, making him unable to swallow at all. After coughing violently, he opened the only one remaining in the eye socket. With eyes in the middle, he recognized the young man in front of him:

"Dahehan, I... didn't embarrass Mu Yunbu... When those giant wolves charged, I didn't run away..."

As the child spoke, he lifted his hand up.What he held tightly in his hand was actually the dagger that Jiang Yan had given him earlier——Yueyan.

Jiang Yan took Yueyan over, and immediately recognized him, his throat moved, but he couldn't speak, and he didn't know how to respond.He pursed his lips, unable to express any expression on his face, only clenched the iron fingers on both hands—under the troubled times, this child who didn't even know his name , although he escaped the pursuit of the rebels and the siege of Garhai, he still couldn't escape...

The child failed to detect the emotional fluctuations of the other party, and continued to ask in an almost inaudible voice:

"The Muyun tribe—the tribe—are all safe?"

Jiang Yan's heart tightened again, but he still nodded: "Don't worry. The warriors from the grassland are all back, and our clansmen are all fine now..."

The child's frown was finally relaxed, as if young and rare words are better than medicine for serious injuries, which can make the pain disappear:

"That's... that's fine... I fought bravely with those beasts, and I should... be able to go to the Longevity Heaven..."

The child's breath weakened rapidly, and before Jiang Yan could reply, he died.

The young He Han trembled all over, trying not to let his emotions collapse, but two lines of hot tears still fell from his eyes.He reached out and picked up a blunt knife beside the child that was covered in blood but could no longer be used, solemnly placed the knife in front of his chest, and closed the bloody face of the child with his palm. Indistinguishable eyes.

At this time, he kept thinking in his mind that only a year ago, he married the girl named Tuya on this grassland that was too beautiful to describe in words.And the short but beautiful time he spent here is still vivid in retrospect, as if it was yesterday.Presumably at the moment before his death, the child in front of him must also miss the good things in the past.

Before this departure, although the young man left [-] elite guards beside Tuya, he stubbornly took all the more than [-] knights to the south.However, who would have expected that after finally successfully defusing the threat of Yubei, those chi wolves who were dormant in the mountains, as if they had disappeared in the vast tundra, would take advantage of the fact that the Muyun's troops were the most empty and the hearts of the people were the most alienated? Attacked while on guard? !

But even if he wanted to blame it, he could only blame himself for being too impulsive, so he lost sight of the other.Now not only could Ning Yue not be found, but many innocent members of the Muyun tribe lost their lives.

"There's something moving on the northern slopes!"

Suddenly, someone in the wilderness yelled loudly, causing the young He Han to turn his head to look.In the dimness, there were indeed a few groups of vague black shadows running towards the depression, but it was unknown whether they were enemies or friends.

"It could be a wolf, get ready!"

After seeing the killing scene in Hulan Terrace and the tragic death of relatives, many people in the Red Flame Army also became as if they were frightened birds, and immediately roared and bowed their bows to draw arrows, aiming at those shadows.But Jiang Yan saw it clearly, raised his hand and pressed down the crunching bows in the hands of the nervous sergeants:
"It's a herdsman in the Ministry, quickly follow me to meet him!"

Those shadows were indeed several herdsmen who were seriously injured.They seemed to have been hiding on the mountain for a long time, and only now they had the courage to come down the mountain when they saw the fire lit in the middle of the depression.

As soon as they saw that it was Yamato Hantong Chiyan Army who led the army to the south, the herdsmen immediately burst into tears, knelt down on the ground and refused to get up for a long time.Jiang Yan ordered people to fetch water and food, watched the other party gobble up, and asked anxiously:

"The one who attacked the camp was really a wolf?"

As soon as he heard the word "wolf", one of the herdsmen trembled with fright, half of the cake in his hand almost fell to the ground, but he nodded like crazy:
"It's a wolf. It's a giant wolf as big as a tiger! There are thousands of wolves coming out of the mountains and plains, and even the iron mountains can't resist! I have never seen so many wolves on the grassland! Even In a year of severe drought, it is extremely difficult to dispatch all the wild wolves in Lancang Mountain!"

"What about Tuya? Where are Tuya and old general Yuanti now?!"

"Princess and the others led thousands of people to break through and headed west. We couldn't keep up. We were afraid of encountering wolves on the way and turned back, so we hid ourselves in this mountain and didn't dare to show our faces again!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan held his breath with the Red Flame Army on the left and right, and continued to ask after a long time: "Apart from Hulan Terrace, are there other places on the grassland that have been attacked?"

The herdsman nodded again: "It is said that such terrifying giant wolves also appeared near Caobo and in the Linxi Corridor at the same time. Chuoluo, Yimu, and Qingzi are not known what happened now... ..."

Jiang Yan would never have imagined that in just over a month, the situation on the grassland had developed to such a dire situation.However, before he had time to think about the countermeasures, he heard a few Red Flame Army guards not far away sounding the urgent siren:
"Wolves! To the west!"

Looking west from the dark and gloomy depression, the continuous mountain ridges are like the remains of a giant beast, lying in front of young Hehan.But in this almost indistinguishable dark gray, there is something just about to move.It was two, four, ten, hundreds of wolf eyes shining green.The wolves stood densely on the hillside, with their shoulders erected, staring at the crowd at the foot of the hill, and growling lowly.

It turned out that they had already crossed the ridge when the Red Flame Army first entered the col.Now, using the dark sky as a cover, he quietly bullied him to a place only a few hundred steps away from the living people!

"Array, array!"

Jiang Yan shouted loudly, ordering the Red Flame Army scattered for several miles to regroup by his side.And he himself drew out Xiao Tianmo, and immediately put his sword down in front of thousands of soldiers.

However, the herdsmen who had just come down from the mountain were completely terrified when they saw this situation.They didn't obey Young Hehan's order, but got rid of the several knights who escorted them away, and the royal horse fled towards the deep mountain!

This move seemed to give the wolves on the hillside an order to charge.Hearing a howl of a wolf resounding through the sky, the eyes of wolves scattered in the distance suddenly all moved.It was as if a cold wave composed of dark gray fur rushed out in the darkness!

Even Jiang Yan, who survived the wolf's mouth twice, was frightened by such a large pack of wolves, and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.Now he doesn't know how many wolves are in the pack, and he's even more uncertain whether the army horses under his command can withstand the bite of countless fangs and sharp teeth. Gloves were soaked too.

However, right now, he and the soldiers around him knew that if he retreated, he might just turn into a pile of dead flesh biting between the teeth of wolves.For the current plan, they can only fight a bloody road by moving forward!
"For Muyun, for Shuobei Grassland!"

The young He Han suddenly raised the black-golden Mo Dao over his head, and shouted loudly.And behind him, thousands of assembled Red Flame Army also shouted in unison:
"For Muyun, for Shuobei Grassland!"

The indomitable roar echoed among the valleys, like a thunderclap on the ground.The wolves seemed to be intimidated by the battle in front of them, and for a while they dared not confront them head-on. Instead, they split into two groups and launched a surprise attack from the flanks towards the Red Flame Army.This is the usual tactic used by packs of wolves on the prairie to hunt down horses.But this time, the horses and the people on the horses they faced were all armed to the teeth.

Jiang Yan slammed Wu Chen under his crotch, and flew out like a sharp arrow off the string.Behind him, there was a volley of bows and arrows from the archers in the formation, and the soldiers also waved their sabers one after another, like a red-hot iron blade, and charged towards the wolves!
It was only at this time that Jiang Yan could distinguish the galloping wolves rushing out of the gray darkness in front of him, and there were only less than a thousand of them.One round of volleys killed nearly half of them.However, the speed of the scattered wolves was still extremely fast, and they did not retreat just like that, but inserted straight into the two wings of the Red Flame Army without any regard for their own lives.

On the spot, dozens of Red Flame Army were thrown down on their mounts by the giant wolf.However, more knights quickly turned their heads under the command of Young He Han, forming a crescent-like arc, and the reverse wolf pack launched an attack.

The cavalry armed with iron armor and sharp blades is like a steel meat grinder.They shortened the distance between each other's horses to only three feet, and Chi Lang faced the tall Shuobei horse in armor, and had to swim in the gap in the horse's belly.However, the knight on horseback didn't give them any chance to bully him, so he swung his knife and slashed at the wolf's head.

After only one charge, there are only a few wolves left.This undoubtedly gave Chi Yanjun great confidence.With the cooperation of another round of volley and the cavalry's advance, they killed nearly a thousand giant wolves in the col of Hulantai Mountain in just a short time. The Muyun tribe took revenge.

Under Hehan's order, the cavalry divided up into teams of ten and beheaded all the Chi wolves that had fallen to the ground.Because everyone is worried that if this is not the case, these fierce beasts may still launch a dying blow when they are not prepared.

Although the first battle was successful, the expression on Jiang Yan's face was incomparably solemn.Because he clearly knew that what he and the Red Flame Army had killed was just a small group of galloping wolves that cut off the retreat of Tuya and Yuan Ti.Now, his first wife is still fleeing somewhere in this vast grassland, life and death are uncertain.

However, the rapid march over the past few days has pushed people to the limit, and all the water, food, and cheese they carry with them have been exhausted, and the Red Flame Army, which can no longer support more than [-] people, continues to fight fiercely.

The young man thought for a moment, then left most of his subordinates at Hulan Terrace to rest.He also ordered people to scatter to find survivors and bring them back to this mountain depression.Immediately afterwards, several people were sent to the south to remind Qi Ziyin to prepare early.As for himself, together with Meng Dun, he led five hundred elite red flame troops, crossed the mountain depression, and marched towards the depths of the grassland against the direction that the wolves attacked just now.

Although Jiang Yan didn't know what kind of fierce battle was waiting for him ahead.But he knew that even if Tuya and the people who fled with her were all killed, he must find her whereabouts.

After all, I made a mistake once before leaving Yanluoyuan rashly.Now even if there is only one possibility among thousands of people, he will bring his wife back together, regardless of life or death!
