Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 270
Seeing this scene, everyone on the cliff couldn't help being stunned. The sheep were driven back to the valley again. Although more than 2000 sheep ran away, they were the strongest among the sheep, and they were also the most capable of forming a threat to the wolves. Threats, the remaining half are mostly old and weak.

However, there are several other flocks of sheep in the valley, and the one that escaped just now is just one of them. If the wolves want to use this repelling tactic, it may take a lot of effort to completely surround the flock. .

After seeing it, Huang Xu shook his head and said, "Unexpectedly, the wolves, who usually look fierce, know such a tactic. In this way, although half of the flock ran away, the rest of the flock can be described as vulnerable. .

Although the number of sheep is only half, it is enough for them to eat. I heard veterans talk about the cunning of prairie wolves before, but I saw it with my own eyes today. No wonder nomadic tribes in the prairie regularly slaughter wolves. Such beasts If there are more, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not harm the herdsmen in groups. "

The commander next to him replied after hearing this: "General Huang is right. Wolves are indeed cunning, but they are also one of the masters of the grassland. In many cases, herdsmen and wolves can coexist peacefully, unless they are looking for them in the cold winter." If there is no food, otherwise, the wolves will generally not attack the herdsmen.

Moreover, with the presence of wolves, the number of yellow sheep can be controlled. In this way, the herdsmen can have more areas with rich water and grass to graze. This is actually a good thing for the herdsmen. "

"What did you see from the behavior of the wolves just now?" Gongsun Xu continued to stare into the distance and said, "Who can tell me why wolves become the objects of worship of most grassland nomadic tribes? Tigers and bears are more fierce than them." , but why can wolves be loved by nomadic tribes?"

After hearing this, everyone expressed their opinions one after another. Among them, the commander of the servant army was more pertinent. They lived in the grassland since childhood and had a special feeling for wolves. Many times, wolves were actually their teachers. , taught them a lot.

For example, the scene in front of me is actually explaining a rule of survival on the grassland. If you want to survive, you have to be a wolf. If you are not cruel enough, you can only become a gazelle to be slaughtered.Prairie tribes advocate bravery, and most of them stem from this.

The special living environment creates special habits. The grassland environment is harsh and the living resources are extremely limited. Many times, they cannot afford to support so many people. Therefore, if they want to live safely in such an environment, they must be ruthless.

The commander took a look at the flock of sheep and said to everyone: "In the grassland, the birth rate of children is not low, but there are not many who can survive. Those children who have not grown up are actually the same as this gazelle. It became the lunch of the wolves.

Most of the surviving children will become warriors when they grow up. They are naturally brave and fierce, and few of them will be cowards.Because they learned to live like wolves from an early age, this is a process that every prairie warrior has to go through. "

The people next to him nodded in agreement. Over the years, the Northern Border Army had often fought against nomadic tribes on the grasslands. Otherwise, Gongsun Xu would not have thought of recruiting servants to serve him.

Recall that hundreds of years ago, the grassland tribes had been in a period of relatively low productivity and a small population. However, they still occupied a large area of ​​grassland to fight against the Han people in the Central Plains. In ancient times, there were dog soldiers who attacked and killed King Zhou You. Donghu, Xiongnu and other nomadic tribes threatened the hinterland of the Central Plains.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Huns were almost an invincible myth. This state continued until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Although Emperor Wu of the Han defeated the Huns with the power of the whole country, the Huns did not disappear because of this, but remained on the grassland. Surviving tenaciously, it has been threatening the northern border of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.

"Cunning, brave, quick-witted, ferocious, ambitious and extremely patient, these are the strengths of the prairie wolf." Gongsun Xu said slowly: "You can see the strength of the prairie wolf from its eyes, even if it has been hungry for a long time, The fighting power of the prairie wolf will not decrease by half.

Tigers, bears, leopards and other large beasts are stronger than prairie wolves. In a one-on-one situation, no wolf will be their opponent. However, wolves have a skill that none of them know, that is, to use the power of the group, Collaborate.

The prairie wolf has never been afraid of hardships and dangers, and has the courage to move forward. Under extremely harsh conditions, it can survive by relying on its own wisdom and cunning, and uses all means to improve its own living conditions and make itself live better.

From the battle just now, you should also be able to see that they are sincerely united and have a clear division of labor. In any dangerous situation, they will not betray their fellows, and they will not exchange the death of their companions for their own lives. , The wolves cooperated with each other, and none of the wolves were injured.

For example, in the fight just now, the tactics used by the wolves coincided with many of the tactics mentioned in Sun Tzu's Art of War.The sheep dared to attack the wolves, but after the momentum of the attack was blocked, the sheep had no power to fight back.

In one effort, then weakened, and exhausted three times, the wolves did not confront the sheep head-on, but took advantage of the slackness of the sheep to cut off their team, breaking the momentum of the sheep at once.Hasn't it always been the same with cavalry combat? "

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. Gongsun Xu's analysis was very incisive, and he described the wisdom of the wolves thoroughly. Now, none of the Northern Border Army who watched the battle dared to underestimate the prairie wolf.

While everyone was chatting on the cliff, dangerous situations appeared on the other side of the valley, and the rest of the sheep also launched several attacks. However, the wolves still adopted the previous tactics, and they let go of the most vicious and strong animals. flocks, and turn to hold back those weak flocks.

And the flock of sheep that escaped from the valley dare not turn back. Even if some leading sheep want to lead the flock back to open the passage of the valley, the wolves outside the valley will harass, threaten and attack them, making these flocks have to retreat .

In this way, although the number of sheep remaining in the valley has decreased, their combat effectiveness has dropped even more, making it easier for the wolves to succeed.By doing this, the wolves not only allow themselves to get enough food, but also ensure that they will not be injured when they attack the flock.

Gongsun Xu watched the fierce battles on the other side of the valley, he couldn't help shaking his head and said with a smile: "It's like a natural army, look, there is a place outside the valley where a lot of wolves gather, I guess that's where the wolf king is.

The whole pack of wolves is commanded by the wolf king, and the members of the wolf pack work together in a division of labor and perform their own duties. There is no sign of chaos at all. This is difficult to do even in our northern border army.

Also, have you noticed that the wolves should have been preparing for a long time from the beginning of their appearance to the fierce battle until now. We happened to meet them. The wolves we encountered in the forest a few days ago must have been heading towards Made it here.

In order to round up these gazelles, did they go around from the mountain forest, then block the gazelle flock in the valley, and then defeat the gazelle one by one, making the flock lose their fighting power? This strategy is really shocking People admire. "

After hearing this, Zhang Yan laughed at herself: "Unexpectedly, I, Zhang Yan, learned the strategy from the prairie wolf. If I hadn't followed the lord, I'm afraid I would never have seen such an exciting scene."

After hearing this, Gongsun Xu replied with a smile: "Hehe, let alone you, although I have heard many rumors about prairie wolves over the years, this is also the first time I have seen a large-scale wolf pack rounding up prey. .

In the future, when our Northern Border Army enters the prairie, we will definitely have to deal with such opponents. You are all the pillars of our Northern Border Army. From now on, I will have to rely on you. "

Both Zhang Yan and the generals of the servant army could hear what Gongsun Xu meant. Of course, the opponent Gongsun Xu was referring to just now was not just the prairie wolf, but more the prairie nomadic tribe that was as vicious and cunning as the prairie wolf.

The wolves are so difficult to deal with, let alone the grassland nomadic tribes that are more powerful than the wolves?
After a while, the battle at the mouth of the valley gradually became less intense, and the flock of sheep did not attack so much at this time. Although there were thousands of wild horses in the valley, they were crowded behind, and the front was full of yellow sheep. The wild horses couldn't rush out for the time being.

Seeing that the resistance in the valley had dropped a lot, the wolves howled into the sky a few times, and then the wolves hiding in various places gathered towards the mouth of the valley one after another. It seemed that the wolves were about to take the initiative to attack.

Gongsun Xu and the others watched on the cliff for more than an hour. About 1 gazelles rushed out of the valley. The wolves did not waste energy chasing the escaped prey. Their attention was all focused on the valley. Those gazelles that did not run away.

Not long after, the wolves occupied a favorable position. Not only did they hold the checkpoint, many of the strong wild wolves even seized higher terrain such as hillsides. At this moment, all the prairie wolves were waiting to attack.

Seeing the posture of the wolves, there was a commotion in the gazelle group, and the strongest gazelle had already run out. Among the remaining tens of thousands of gazelles, not many dared to confront the wolves.

Taking advantage of the turmoil of the flock, the wolf king howled a few more times, and the hundreds of wolves in front attacked together, and the wolves behind followed immediately.

In fact, the terrain in the valley is very large. Gazelles gathered at the mouth of the valley and wanted to rush out. At this time, when they were attacked by wolves, the whole herd of gazelles was in chaos. In order not to be thrown down by wolves, it was natural for the yellow fangs to option to back off.

However, the wolves that attacked for the first time were only about a thousand, which was simply too small compared to the number of gazelles.

However, the wolves did not rush directly into the flock of sheep to bite. On the contrary, they kept running around the flock of sheep, howling, and then charged and drove the flock of sheep, causing the formation of the flock of sheep to gradually become chaotic.

Those strong gazelles who stick to the outermost perimeter also have to run with the flock.

At this moment, Gongsun Xu on the cliff clapped his hands and applauded: "The hunt has begun."
