In the wilderness, the knights galloped on horseback. The formation looked chaotic, but upon closer inspection, they were well-distributed. One hand was waving a whip and the other hand was swinging a drum. They cooperated with each other in tacit understanding to disturb all the beasts hiding in the grass.
Drive to the middle area of the hunting ground.
On the Piyuan, Li Tai was wearing a black hakama pleated riding attire, with a plain white robe fluttering behind his shoulders. Under his crotch was a pure white horse, holding a bow in one hand and a knife in the other, galloping on the grass.
Like a swimming dragon, there are hundreds of strong and powerful people scattered around. It can be said that one call makes a hundred promises and one looks forward to the glory.
This piece of Piyuan is inaccessible all year round. Every midsummer, the vegetation becomes lush, and there are often tigers, wolves, bears and other ferocious beasts waiting in the area, preying on other beasts or the same kind.
Of course, if humans and animals stray into this area, those ferocious beasts will not eat. Therefore, from time to time, ferocious beasts will kill herdsmen and livestock nearby. If these beasts are not hunted and eliminated, the soil of this plateau will not be fertile.
, the water and grass are abundant, but it can neither be cultivated nor grazed.
Dongxia Prefecture has a vast territory and sparsely populated areas, and there are many such situations. Therefore, every year in spring and summer, it is the peak season for people and horses to hunt. This is not only to make up for the lack of farming and animal husbandry through hunting, but also to expand the places where people can move.
space.
Of course, for Li Tai, there is another important meaning, which is military training.
Suddenly the police drum sounded loudly in the countryside. Li Taixun, who had just used his bow to kill a lone wolf, turned around and saw a tiger with stripes all over its body jumping out of a ravine covered with weeds and pounced on the person closest to him.
knight's mount.
The tiger appeared suddenly, but the knight who was attacked did not lose his vigilance and immediately swung his staff to hit the tiger.
The tiger leaping in the air swung its tail with a crackling sound, and its attack was a little faster. Although the tiger's blade was swept by the copper ring of the staff, it still maintained its momentum, and the distance between them quickly became closer.
The tiger claws of the thick forelimbs suddenly slapped, and a huge blood hole suddenly appeared in the abdomen of the knight's crotch. Both the man and the horse were thrown sideways, and the bloody water splashed out for more than ten feet!
The strong bloody smell further stimulated the beast's ferocity. After it landed, it was ready to pounce. Before the tiger's body could leap up, two horsemen nearby had already rushed to rescue it. Two long handles were forged by Bai Shui Workshop.
The horse-killing swords came one after another.
The tiger also had sharp eyes and quick hands. He swung his claws and struck the front blade of the sword, breaking the blade from the middle with one claw. However, the rear sword could not avoid it and was cut into the gap between the tiger's blades.
Roar!
A violent tiger roar exploded from the plains, causing the leaves half a mile away to tremble. The beasts on the hunting ground became even more panicked after hearing the sound, and the fear in their blood was suddenly detonated.
He no longer even tried to avoid the knights who were trying to stop him, but he was desperate to escape from here.
"Cure your formation and don't let this beast get away!"
Li Tai saw the injured tiger flying away for several feet. When he stepped forward with his horse, he drew an arrow and shot it out with his hand. He shot out with full strength, but missed the tiger by a hair.
side of the land.
Several others were shot out nearby, either being deflected by the turbulent tiger wind, or being swept down directly by the tiger's tail, which was like a steel whip.
The ferocious tiger saw several knights coming towards him. Each of the knights waved their swords with cold light, and the tiger's eyes flashed with fear. He tilted his head and licked the wound on his shoulder blade, and used his hind limbs to dig out two wounds.
A huge earth pit suddenly flew towards where Li Tai was.
"Protect Master Lang..."
Seeing this, Zhang Shinu quickly shouted a warning. At the same time, he rode his horse forward. He leaned over the horse and swung his arms downwards with a slash. However, the tiger suddenly jumped and passed directly under the horse's belly.
, castration is more rapid.
Li Tai immediately dismounted from his horse and waved his sword and staff to block the fierce tiger. However, the galloping tiger suddenly leaped over ten feet and flew directly over the heads of the tribesmen.
In front of the dive is Li Tai, who is extremely eye-catching in his white robe and white horse.
At this moment, the hair on the back of Li Tai's neck was also exploding. He held the knife in his hand and stared at the charging tiger with both eyes. With a thunderous roar in his mouth, he held the knife in both hands and slashed diagonally. When it intersected with the tiger's body,
In an instant, an astonishing collision force came from the blade, but he just held the handle tightly, gritted his teeth and pushed forward.
A shower of scorching blood poured down his pocket, and the sharp-edged Sutie sword, which made Dugu Xin feel extremely distressed, cut off the tiger's front claws directly under Li Tai's powerful slash.
Li Tai's hands shook, but he didn't have time to think about it. He withdrew his left arm and swung his elbow, hitting the tiger's belly, smashing the tiger's body to the side, and he was knocked off the horse, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the injuries on his body.
Painful, he rolled and jumped up after landing, turning the blade of the sword in his hand downwards, piercing the abdominal ribs of the injured tiger lying on the ground.
He leaned up again to avoid the tiger's tail that was about to swing. The tiger missed the blow and was still struggling. Its forelimbs were broken and injured, and its hind limbs pranced along the ground. The tiger's body suddenly jumped up several feet, but unexpectedly the tiger's tail was caught.
People hold on.
Li Tai grabbed the tiger's tail and swung it with both arms. He threw the huge tiger body into the air and then threw it heavily to the ground. He let go of the tiger's tail with both hands and pounced on it. His hands were like iron pincers and he grabbed the tiger's throat tightly. He bent his knees and pounded him repeatedly.
On the tiger's belly, blood foam continuously overflowed from the tiger's kiss and sprayed on his head and face. The smelly tiger breath soon became weak, and in the end, even organ fragments were sprayed out from the tiger's mouth.
All the tribesmen also rushed forward and pressed the tiger's body tightly with their bodies. When Li Tai was pulled away from the tiger's body, each of them still held a handful of tiger hairs in their hands.
When this happened, everyone in the hunting ground had no time to hunt other prey, and they all came forward to see how the master was doing. When they saw such a ferocious tiger, it was actually hunted by Li Tai with his hand blade, and Li Tai only had a slight crack in the tiger's mouth.
Covered in tiger blood, there was a burst of joy.
Li Mu and his subordinates who were hunting in another hunting ground also heard the sound and came over. They saw the prey fleeing everywhere. Li Mu, who had caught a lot, was still waiting to come in and laughed a few words. Only when he got closer did he realize that the subordinates were hunting.
They were surrounding a grown tiger corpse and Li Tai, waving their arms, cheering, and applauding.
"Could it be that this huge murderer was Bo Shan who you hunted with your own hands?"
Li Mu turned over and dismounted, squeezed into the crowd, and went forward to carefully examine the dead tiger. He saw that the tiger's throat had been strangled alive, and Li Tai had two hands of tiger hair. He couldn't help but asked in surprise.
After the crisis, Li Taicai felt that his limbs were stiff and sore, and he had to rely on some help to stand firm. However, seeing Li Mu's surprised look on his face, he smiled and said: "This evil beast is really hateful. It soiled my fine robe.
It’s really hard to get rid of anger without suffocating it with your own hands!”
He came to this world and pretended to be cool a lot, but this time he felt that he was the most powerful. Of course, it would be even better if he could suppress his trembling with excitement.
Although Li Mu was also a powerful general, seeing Li Tai actually hunt such a huge tiger with his own hands, he felt admiration for a while, and at the same time he was envious and said: "Bo Shan's majestic and heroic deeds are really impressive.
You can't ask for anything when you meet him, he's not inferior to Yang Qiyu!"
After hearing this, Li Tai also laughed and waved his hands: "There are still many differences. We are fighting for life and death, and we have to be brave to survive. We are in panic and have no time to retreat, but Yang Kaifu responds calmly, pulling out his tongue with his hand, and his loyalty and bravery are admirable."
He was still a bit nervous, and he didn't dare to think that he was stronger than Yang Zhong just because of this. It was really an extraordinary performance in a life-and-death situation. Now when he saw this tiger corpse that was more than ten feet long, he felt relieved for a moment.
.
It's good to have experienced such an emergency once. He didn't want to experience it again, and couldn't help but sigh. No wonder Emperor Wu Sun Quan had to build a special iron cage to cover himself in a tiger hunting vehicle when he was hunting. He really would have encountered such an unexpected situation.
The level of ferocious beasts is not a question of whether they are well guarded or not.
Zhang Shinu and others also came forward to apologize with shame on their faces, but Li Tai also saw with his own eyes the way the tiger was flying as fast as the wind. They had hunted together many times, and this was the first time they encountered such a critical situation, and they would be more likely to do so in the future.
Just pay attention, but there is no need to investigate further.
After all, the tacit understanding between each other is cultivated through many normal arrangements and unexpected situations.
"I'm exhausted today, but I've had a lot of fun, so I'll go back to camp and rest first. In the next few days, I'll go hunting and clear out the plateau, and then I can arrange for the soldiers to fence for grazing. After autumn, I'll harvest the pasture and set it on fire.
The fields can be plowed next year, and hundreds of hectares of fertile farmland can be added within a few years!"
Li Tai moved his limbs, hands and feet, feeling that his strength was gradually recovering, and then ordered again.
When he saw that the carts carrying the prey of Li Mu and his entourage were already piled high, with some small prey hanging on their saddles, he said with a smile: "It seems that you have won another victory today. When we return, I will take charge of the army."
Cooking, what kind of food do you want to try today?"
When Li Mu heard this, he smiled and waved his hands and said: "Boshan, please don't shame me anymore. Just because you hunted this tiger, I will surrender. After you return to camp, you can stay in your tent and I will kill it myself."
This tiger will cook you a delicious meal!"
So the two groups of men and horses gathered together, collected the prey, and then returned to camp together.
Of course, the two of them were not just idle and indulging in hunting. Eastern Xia State was heavily barren and wild animals were rampant, which brought great trouble to farming and herding.
Therefore, from the beginning of spring, they started hunting and clearing along the Kuli River in order to expand the scope of their farming. Of course, they were not only hunting wild animals, but also some remaining Blackwater Husbands in this area were also within the scope of the clearing.
All collected supplies of men and horses were used for daily consumption, and the rescued Hanhu Dingkou were used as manpower for farming and herding. As for the Jihu Dingzhuang, they were used as laborers to arrange the construction of two defensive cities and the excavation between Luoshui and Kulichuan.
of artificial rivers.
After Li Tai returned to the camp, he changed out of the hakama pleated robe that was soaked in tiger blood. The camp soldier was going to collect it and take it out for cleaning, but he was reluctant to lose this evidence of bravery. His eyes turned to the rhinoceros leather sword on the eucalyptus, and the corner of his mouth
I couldn't help but smile.
He first ordered his soldiers to process the peeled tiger skin and put it into a delicate box together with his dirty clothes. Then he wrote a letter: "Although Beizhou is desolate and sparsely populated, it still has plenty of wild charm."
, briefly describe a few things..."
He was still thinking about the words for the letter when a few loud whistles came from outside the tent, and soon a guard came to announce that a visitor was coming. But at this moment, he was full of thoughts, and without raising his head, he just ordered people to come to the guest camp.
Wait for a while, and then continue to hunt the wither insects.
