At this critical moment, Shao Yan gave an order, and in an instant, thousands of arrows were shot at the four white tigers. Although the tiger king who rushed at the front was hit by several arrows, these arrows only pierced the surface of the skin.
, it couldn't pierce inside at all. It shook its body violently and threw the arrows aside, revealing two sharp tiger teeth again, and chased after Li Changsheng and others fiercely.
Li Changsheng ran back with all his strength. The soldier behind him accidentally fell to the ground because he ran too fast, causing all the people behind him to stumble. There was chaos on the field, waiting for them to crawl back from the ground.
When I got up, I realized that the four white tigers were standing in front of me. The soldiers were so scared that their faces turned blue, and some even peed their pants on the spot. The bolder ones turned around while the tigers were scratching their itches.
run
"Ouch -" the Tiger King roared angrily towards the sky. Two of the more powerful white tigers kicked up their claws and pounced on the backs of those people. With this claw, four soldiers were killed immediately.
, the strange thing is that these two white tigers don't seem to be interested in the dead people. They kicked the corpses on the ground a few times, then swung their tails and returned to the tiger group silently. The tiger king raised his huge head and stared at them.
Roar loudly, as if to praise their bravery
Although Shao Yan did not understand the habits of animals, seeing the round bellies of these white tigers, he boldly speculated that they did not attack the soldiers because of hunting, but mostly out of revenge. If this was the case, then their attack intensity would be somewhat restrained.
The behavior just now can only be regarded as self-defense. In other words, as long as the soldiers huddle together, the four white tigers will not dare to act rashly. After a long time, they will retreat and get back into the jungle.
Arrows continued to shoot at the white tigers. However, the four white tigers headed by the Tiger King had no intention of retreating. Shao Yan thought that not only would he not be able to rescue the soldiers, but he would become even more angry at the tigers, so he
Immediately make a gesture to order all archers to stop shooting
At this time, Li Changsheng escaped from the danger zone and climbed up the mountain panting. He regretted that he had not listened to Mu Ying's persuasion and made a desperate move, which resulted in the current passive situation. Then he knelt down in front of Shao Yan, his face flushed: "
Your Majesty, I deserve to die. It’s all because I was too stubborn and failed to listen to Miss Mu’s advice. That’s why the ferocious beasts frightened the emperor. I deserve death!”
"Old General, please get up quickly." Shao Yan dragged his shoulders with both hands and said calmly: "It's a blessing, not a curse. Disasters can always be avoided. You don't have to blame yourself too much. We still have to think of a way to bring these four heads together."
It’s up to the tiger to drive back.”
Seeing that Li Changsheng's face was still a little confused, Mu Ying on the side persuaded softly: "General Li, if we must find out who is right and wrong now, then the girl of the people is the culprit. The girl of the people clearly knows that there are wild beasts hiding in the jungle.
, but these scenes that shouldn't have happened still happened, and it was all the people's daughters who tried to dissuade them from doing so. If the emperor really wants to blame the people, the people's daughters are willing to bear everything."
When Li Changsheng heard what she said, he felt doubly regretful. He hurriedly held up his hands and said, "Miss Mu is serious. If I had listened to your advice earlier, this kind of thing would not have happened. I am really ashamed of myself."
Deng Bingtang nodded and said: "General Li, Miss Mu, you two don't have to push and push. The emperor is right. It is a blessing, not a curse. It is a curse that cannot be avoided. Who would want this to happen? It's just us.
Many people are still trapped inside by these tigers. Now we should come up with a complete strategy to rescue them as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous over time."
Everyone present nodded in agreement, but Bai Ruxue remained silent. Seeing that her eyes were always paying attention to the white tigers, Shao Yan asked curiously: "Ruxue, what can you do?"
Only then did Bai Ruxue regain her composure. She frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment before saying: "The skin on these white tigers is too thick, and the arrows may not be able to hold them down. Since we can't hurt them with arrows, why don't we use them?"
Try fire attack"
"Fire attack?" Deng Bingtang, Li Changsheng, and Mu Ying faced her at the same time
Shao Yan was not surprised at all. He had read in books before that most animals were afraid of fire. Human beings used fire to defend themselves in the earliest times. However, he remembered that it was usually at night and the fire was not conspicuous during the day. Animals may not necessarily do so.
Scared, I don’t know what this girl’s fire attack method is? He nodded and said: “This method is somewhat creative, but you have to know that the firelight during the day is not as bright as at night. Animals, especially king-level beasts like tigers, they
You may not give in.”
"Ruxue has also thought about this problem. If we want the firelight during the day to catch up with the firelight at night, it may be a little difficult, but we can use smoke to smoke it. Of course, if we can add some other fuel to the firewood, we can create a
If there is a choking smell, that would be the best." Bai Ruxue just finished speaking, but saw everyone looking at her with strange eyes, her face suddenly turned red, and she said embarrassedly: "Everyone
Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think this is a bad idea? In fact, I am also ill and seeking medical treatment indiscriminately. Please, please don't take it too seriously."
Shao Yan was used to seeing her being straightforward and well-behaved, but he didn't expect that she was cuter than the average little girl when she was shy. If you could erase the scar on her face, this girl would indeed be loved by everyone.
big beauty
Li Changsheng chuckled and said: "Look at you, this girl usually doesn't talk much, but you can come up with bad ideas at critical moments... Oh, no, it should be a clever plan. You are much better than your white-browed father."
Bai Ruxue shook her head with a chuckle, and Deng Bingtang twirled his beard and said: "No matter what, we have to give it a try, it is better than wasting it here."
Mu Ying thought Bai Ruxue's method was feasible at first, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't help but frown and said, "This method is good, but where can we find so much fuel?"
This is a problem. Although this is a large mountain forest, except for the jungle in front, the rest of the place is almost a bare stone mountain. There are occasionally some weeds, but they are wet and overgrown, and they cannot be burned at all. Damn it.
You won’t burn your own clothes. There won’t be much smoke if this thing is burned, and it will burn in vain. Shao Yan denied it in his heart.
Bai Ruxue was also stumped. When the others were at a loss to find fuel, she accidentally saw a group of people emerging from the bottom of the mountain. The leader was Chang Yixiao, and she saw that each of them was holding a lot of dry firewood in their hands.
, behind them were followed by twenty or thirty people dressed as hunters, each with a strong back and waist, with a red rope tied on his head, with a few peacock feathers stuck on it, all dressed in tiger skin carved feathers, holding a three-raked hunting iron fork.
Wearing long boots, she looked really majestic. When she saw this, she shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, look, it's Chang Yixiao and them."
Shao Yan and others suddenly turned around. Chang Yixiao led more than a hundred soldiers to arrive here quickly. All the soldiers shouted long live the emperor. Who would have thought that their shouting would frighten the four tigers, and they could only hear "Wow!"
With a sound, the four tigers bared their teeth and claws and pounced on the trapped soldiers.
The hunters did not have time to meet the emperor, so they took out special bows and arrows from their backs, aimed at the white tigers, and shot them. Although they did not hit the vital parts, they hindered their attack power. The soldiers took the opportunity to run down the mountain. The Tiger King
With a roar, the other three tigers gave up the pursuit and immediately returned to the Tiger King. They all lay sideways on the ground, then shook their heads and roared hysterically at the sky.
"No, they are calling other companions, General Chang, let them go quickly." An old hunter noticed that his aim was wrong and shouted loudly.
Chang Yi smiled and said yes, and then asked the soldiers to throw the firewood and weeds in their arms towards the jungle. After a while, the white tiger was blocked inside, and the old hunter personally shot the flaming arrows towards the grass pile.
"Pu Chi...", the sound was like gunpowder being ignited. The flames quickly spread to the entire patch of weeds, and there was also a strong pungent smell. The four white tigers roared angrily.
After a while, more than a dozen white tigers and two lions rushed out. They wanted to rush out, but they were afraid of the fire, so they wandered around in the jungle and shouted like crazy.
The hunters opened their bows and shot arrows at the beasts until they were all driven back. However, the hunters did not give up. They raised their forks and strode deep into the jungle. Everyone present was stunned. Shao Yan
Keep your eyes open, sun, everyone knows that hunters make a living by hunting, otherwise they wouldn’t be called hunters, but even so, there’s no need to risk their lives? These people, hey, in one word, are stupid!
"Your Majesty, please send your troops quickly and kill all the beasts with all your strength!" Chang Yixiao said urgently.
"What? What did you say?" Li Changsheng was shocked and said in front of Shao Yan: "You little kid wants us flesh and blood to fight these beasts. Aren't you giving mutton to the tiger's mouth?"
Chang Yi smiled and saw that he was Zhang Sheng, so he stopped talking to him and continued to clasp his fists at Shao Yan: "Your Majesty, the last general moved here with Zhang Baihu and Zhang Huaide not long ago. At that time, he also encountered this group of ferocious beasts. Thanks to just now
Those old hunters who rescued you will not be able to escape safely until the end. We expect that you will return in the next few days, so we specially invited the hunters to come and clear out the ferocious beasts here. People are kind to us, so we can't ignore death without saving them."
"Don't save people in the face of death?" Li Changsheng sneered coldly: "Little general, it's too early to say this. I think that group of hunters still have a few moments left. Even if we don't take action, with their ability, they can kill them all."
It’s a ferocious beast, so don’t worry about it anymore.”
Chang Yixiao glared at him and said slowly: "Your Majesty, you don't know. This place was originally called the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts. Although there are less than ten thousand beasts in it, there are at least hundreds of them, and the old hunter is only two."
Sixteen people, how can they be the opponent of so many ferocious beasts? Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry about the ferocious beasts hurting us. The old hunter said that the ferocious beasts during the day are very less aggressive. We are just going in to cheer them on."
Bai Ruxue and Mu Ying also agreed to send troops to rescue people. Deng Bingtang didn't say anything because he couldn't make up his mind. Li Changsheng disagreed from beginning to end. In his words, going in to rescue people was undoubtedly an attempt to attack a stone with an egg and overestimate one's own capabilities.
But in Shao Yan's view, although the war between man and beast was a bit ridiculous and could even be regarded as a laughingstock, he couldn't bear to watch the hunter being injured by the beast. Besides, people were kind to him. Thinking of this, he
Regardless of the objections of some generals such as Li Changsheng, he took the lead in riding his war horse and rushed into the jungle. As white as snow, Chang Yixiao led hundreds of soldiers across the blazing fire and followed behind with bold moves.
The emperor personally led the expedition and was invincible wherever he went. The soldiers were no longer afraid of the beasts with grinning fangs. Instead, they picked up their swords and spears and chased them to slash and kill them. For a time, the whole jungle roared and heard the sound of killing.
All over the wilderness, soldiers were in groups of five, searching and killing all the wild beasts in the jungle in a straight square formation. The hunters picked up special tools and tried to capture the most wild beasts alive. This made Shao Yan feel very sad.
strangeness
The old hunter told him that although the beasts were ferocious, the evil deeds of the invaders from Liang and Chu were slightly worse, so they wanted to achieve the purpose of guarding the mountain by taming these beasts. This sentence reminded Shao Yan,
He suddenly thought of a strategic policy, which was to use these beasts to deal with the beasts of Chu and Liang in the future. Hehe, the scene was simply magnificent and fierce. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart.
An order was issued that "It is strictly forbidden to hunt and kill, only to be captured alive"...
