Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 582 Recruiting Cavalry 2
"Opportunities and dangers coexist, and we must not let our guard down at all times." Gongsun Ran said to himself while looking at the nearby terrain: "A good swimmer drowns, and negligence will only harm you. You must not capsize in the gutter."

The cavalry recruited next to them didn't know what happened to their commander, why they kept muttering there all the time, but they didn't care. Although their commander was young, he was really a good man.

These days, Gongsun Ran has been getting close to them a lot, and everyone gets along very well.A few days ago, most of these warriors had no food to eat, no tribes to return to, and they were even widows who had lost their homes. If they wandered on the grassland for a few more days, they would either starve to death or become slaves to others.

But at this time, Gongsun Ran appeared. After being selected by Gongsun Ran, they not only had meat to eat and soup to drink, but now they were able to gallop on the grassland again on horses with excellent weapons that they had never seen before. Things these warriors never thought about. Who would have thought that heaven and hell are so close.

"Commander, what are we looking for?" A cavalryman looked at Gongsun Ran and asked, "Haven't we already found the flock, shouldn't we hunt the flock now?"

"How long have you lived in the grassland?" Gongsun Ran looked at him and asked, "How much do you know about the grassland?"

"I have been living on the grassland since I was born." The guy replied, "It's been 22 years after careful calculation. Commander, why are you asking this? None of us lived on the grassland since we were born."

"What is the most dangerous beast on the grassland?" Gongsun Ran continued to ask, "Tiger, leopard, or wolf?"

"Of course it's wolves." Everyone replied without thinking: "Wolves are a disaster, and wolves are very cunning. If they encounter wolves, tigers and leopards have no room to fight back."

"Then do you think there are wolves around here?" Gongsun Ran looked around and said, "Where there are sheep, will there be wolves?"

"Here, the commander has a good opinion." Everyone nodded and said: "It turns out that the commander is looking for the traces of the wolves. I said, don't worry, the commander, we will look for it now, and we must not let the wolves threaten us."

These prairie warriors may not be smart, but they are very familiar with the prairie. Whenever wolves are mentioned, their vigilance will be raised. These warriors have all seen the power of wolves. Some of them have seen wolves before. The scene of eating a giant bear or a tiger.

In terms of heads-up, maybe the prairie wolf is really nothing, but if the prairie wolf gathers together, it will definitely be the overlord of the prairie animal kingdom, not to mention tigers and leopards, even groups of prairie cavalry will have to detour.

What is even more frightening is that there is no shortage of cunning wild wolves in the prairie wolf pack. Generally, the wolf king or wolf king is very smart and cunning. They even know how to use the advantages of the pack to hunt, and sometimes they can even watch To the shadow of the art of war.

Of course, the wolves don't know what the art of war is, but this kind of hunting tactics has been integrated into their blood. This is the most terrifying thing. Their nature has achieved their status. Be alert, and even more so for others.

"Report,,,,," a cavalryman ran over and shouted: "Report to the commander, we found traces of wolves ahead." "

Gongsun Ran and the others ran forward without saying a word, and when they arrived at the footprints, Gongsun Ran immediately got off his horse and took a closer look.

"It should have passed by here before the heavy snow." Gongsun Ran looked at the footprints and said, "Why is there only one footprint, it looks like there is only one wolf."

"Let me take a look." A more experienced cavalryman dismounted and walked over to look at it and said, "No, there are circumstances, there are at least twenty wild wolves.

Prairie wolves are very cunning. They know how to conserve energy when moving forward in such bad weather. The leader wolf is the one that consumes the most energy. They will lead the way in front, try out the best route, and trample the snow under their feet. Reality.

The wolves in the back can save a lot of physical strength by stepping on the footprints of the leading wolf in front. Please see, these footprints are actually larger than the soles of ordinary wolves. This is precisely because many wolves have stepped on the same spot after effect. "

"So that's the case. No wonder there were no traces along the way." Gongsun Ran nodded and said, "I have learned something today. You guys did a good job. I'll give you extra meals later. Now continue to chase, and we must find out the wolf." Specific traces of the group."

"Okay." When everyone heard that there was an extra meal, they all excitedly rode their horses to follow up. In order to have a full meal, they could burst out their greatest potential to do things. Who told Gongsun Ran to be very kind to them.

"Look, Commander, there are more footprints ahead." After Gongsun Ran and others tracked for more than ten miles, they found more footprints of wolves. It seems that they are indeed chasing in the right direction, and there are indeed wolves nearby.

"Slow down, stop." The more experienced cavalryman said suddenly: "Commander, there is something wrong with the forest ahead. I think the wolves may be hiding in it. There is no need for us to continue tracking."

Gongsun Ran didn't know much about the terrain on the grassland and the living habits of the wolves, so when the cavalryman said this, he wasn't sure whether to continue tracking. Although there were traces of the wolves now, he I still haven't found out the specific size of the wolf pack, so if I go back like this, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with.

"Isn't it okay to go into the woods and check?" Gongsun Ran asked: "At least you have to see the wolves before going back."

"Please take a look, Commander." The cavalry replied: "There are obviously more footprints around the woods. Although the snow fell heavily a few days ago, there are still so many clearly visible footprints beside the woods. Wolves roam around the woods.

Also, all we saw along the way was just one footprint, that is to say, the wolves we tracked have been moving forward, they did not stop to rest, and the footprints around the woods became messy, which indicated that they had arrived at their lair .

Judging from the number of footprints, the wolves in this forest are not small. If we go in rashly, something will happen, so I advise the commander not to take risks. Now that we have found the location of the wolves, what should we do next? We should report to the Grand Commander.

"That makes sense." Gongsun Ran nodded and said, "It seems that there are indeed wolves hiding in the woods, but the forest is so big, we must not be able to find out the exact size of the wolves. Let's look around first. There may be other discoveries, but it is not certain."

Under the leadership of Gongsun Ran, the crowd searched around the woods again. After a while, they found some animal remains outside the woods. It seemed that there were indeed wolves looking for food here, which further confirmed the deduction of the cavalryman before. .

"Strange, these wreckages don't look like all the bones of cattle and sheep." Everyone dismounted to check the wreckage. Gongsun Ran picked up a tooth and looked at it and said, "This is not a herbivore tooth. It's more like the fangs of carnivores, could it be that the wolves accidentally dropped it when they were gnawing on food."

"Can you show me?" said the experienced cavalryman, "I look like the fangs of a wild wolf."

Gongsun Ran also admires this cavalry now. He has performed well along the way. This cavalry has enough experience in tracking and reconnaissance. If this cavalry performs well next, Gongsun Ran intends to give him Promoted.

"These are the fangs of wild wolves." The cavalryman said: "Commander, it seems that the wolves we encountered were not easy to deal with. The wolves I encountered before were at least a little rational. Cannibals, but this pack of wolves is a bit ferocious."

"Huh? Are you saying that there are wild wolves being eaten by their own kind?" Gongsun Ran asked, "What's your name? You've performed very well along the way. I'll report the truth to the commander when I get back."

"The villain has no name, everyone calls me Iron Wolf." The cavalryman said, "Because I am very familiar with wild wolves, so everyone gave me this title."

"Very good, Iron Wolf, continue with what you just discovered." Gongsun Ran nodded and said, "Under what circumstances will wolves eat their own kind?"

"The size of this pack of wolves is definitely not small." Iron Wolf said: "It is estimated that there are no less than a thousand heads. If the situation is bad, thousands of heads are also possible. The most terrifying thing is that there may be a wolf king in this pack Only the ferocious wolf king will eat those opponents who are defeated by him.

The competition within the wolf pack is fierce, and the position of the wolf king is not easy to do. All powerful male wolves will compete for the position of the wolf king, but those losers will end up miserable, either being expelled, or dying after being injured, and even more so. Some of them will be eaten by the victorious wolf king on the spot. "

"Unexpectedly, there are so many stories in the wolves." Gongsun Ran nodded and smiled, "Today is a good experience. Are you sure there is a wolf king?"

"Absolutely." Iron Wolf said: "Look at these bones, Commander. There are marks left by beasts biting on them. How much strength is needed to leave such marks, and we haven't found any tigers or giants nearby. Beasts like bears, and there are wolves here, these beasts dare not appear here.

So these tooth marks must have been left by the wolf king, that is to say, this wolf king is quite strong, probably to the point where he can rival a tiger.Commander, we must be more careful, the wolf king is not only cruel and easy to kill, but also more cunning in general.

We have to rely on a large force to confront this kind of wolf. If it were only us, I am afraid that there would not be enough wolves to get between our teeth. Commander, let's continue to chase. Look at the footprints ahead, they are obviously left not long ago Yes, this means that a wild wolf has left the woods again, we just happened to chase after it to have a look. "

"Interesting, haha." Gongsun Ran nodded and smiled, "I didn't expect that confronting wolves would be as dangerous as fighting the enemy. It seems that this grassland is indeed an excellent place to train soldiers. Training soldiers on the grassland is indeed the best place to fight." Good choice. Brothers, let's continue to chase."

Everyone got on their horses and chased after Gongsun Ran. With Gongsun Ran taking the lead, they had nothing to be afraid of. Prairie wolves are indeed the scariest animals on the grassland, but these prairie warriors crawled out of the dead. nothing to be afraid of.
