Chapter 107: The Divine Beast Appears, Fighting the Wild Horse Herd (Part I)
Hugh slaughtered the wasteland, Li Li military camp.
"Lord, just now the scout came to report, Huan Fei has led Pegasus thieves into the mountain, and the whole army has been dispatched, leaving only more than 100 old and weak soldiers in the camp to guard the camp."
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Teng Xiao whispered to Li Li, who was squinting and pretending to sleep.
Li Li's eyes opened suddenly, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that Huan Fei is determined to win this group of wild horses! Interesting, abandon the camp and go into the mountains overnight, so impatient? ”
Teng Xiao nodded lightly and said, "It seems so." Before Huan Fei faced such humiliation as the lord, he could bear it, and he must have a plan! ”
"Humiliation? Hehehe! That's a debt the Pegasus Thieves owed earlier, and now I'm just asking them to pay it back. Li Li sneered.
Teng Xiao nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Lord, what should we do now?" Otherwise, the subordinates will send more scouts to follow them, and when they find the wild horse herd, our army will then cover the past. ”
Li Li paced outside the big tent, looked at the majestic mountains in the dark night with deep eyes, shook his head and said, "No, we won't go into the mountains tonight, and we don't need to send more scouts. Today, our army has been fighting for half a day, and the officers and men are already tired and have a night's rest.
Tomorrow morning, the third watch will make rice, and the fifth watch will set off, leaving only 1,000 dragon guards and 2,000 Qinglong battalions to guard the racecourse. The soldiers of the other battalions are all lightly armed into the mountains, equipped with enough arrows, and tightly seal the exits of the valleys, this time I will wipe out the Pegasus thieves and wild horses! ”
"No, my subordinates will give the order immediately." Teng Xiao replied respectfully, and then quickly left the Chinese army's tent.
Li Li looked at the dark mountain peaks from afar, stunned, as if he wanted to see everything in the mountains and forests through the darkness.
Half an hour later, he walked lightly into the big tent, lay on the bed and looked at the book.
"Evil Lai, Teng Yu, you two go down and rest, you don't have to guard tonight. Tomorrow we will officially tear the skin with the Pegasus thieves and meet each other, and when Huan Fei is a hard stubble, it will be your turn to show your skills. Needless to say, let you have a good night's rest, this is the military order, immediately carry out the order! ”
"No, the subordinates will receive the order!" The figures of Dian Wei and Teng Yu suddenly appeared in the originally empty tent, and then the two of them bowed down and received the order.
"Well, go ahead." Li Li hummed without raising his head, his eyes still fixed on the book.
After the two of them left the big tent, Li Li looked at their distant backs and smiled with satisfaction.

The sky is getting brighter, and the morning glow is full.
Lion Hump Grand Canyon, north of the valley mouth.
"Da Da Da -!"
Three thousand iron horsemen rushed to the mouth of the valley, slashed down the branches beside him with their swords, and the falling branches and leaves rattled.
Immediately, the army lay in ambush on the spot, quickly set up a bow and wound it, blocking the canyon passage layer by layer, and the cold light and shining arrows were awe-inspiring.
A moment later, Li Li personally led Dian Wei, Teng Yu, Teng Xiao, Fan Yong and other generals to gallop on horseback, with 5,000 flying bear battalions and 2,000 dragon guards behind him.
Seeing the arrival of the lord, Pang De, who arrived at the mouth of the valley first, rode his horse to meet him.
"Lord, scout urgently, Huan Fei and his party of more than 8,000 Pegasus thieves are all in this canyon, and the wild horses that attacked our army's horse farm before inhabit this canyon. His subordinates have now tightly sealed the exit of the canyon, deployed 3,000 archers, and prepared 30,000 black feather arrows. After the lord entered the canyon, his subordinates also prepared to set up multiple barricades and traps at the mouth of the valley to ensure that everything was prepared. Leave it to the Lord to decide. ”
Li Li looked at the rolling Lion Hump Grand Canyon from afar, frowned slightly, nodded to Pang De and said, "Ling Ming, you have done a good job, the defense is in place, implement it immediately." However, Ling Ming also needs to pay attention to the fact that the pit can be dug more, the scope should be large, and the pit should be deep, but the pit should not be arranged with spikes. This time, our army should capture wild horses or pegasus thieves alive as much as possible, and do not kill them at will unless they are forced to do so! ”
After speaking, Li Li waved his hand, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and led seven thousand iron horsemen straight to the canyon.
The Lion Hump Canyon is a natural barrier between the Hugh Slaughter Wasteland and the desert.
The canyon is long and narrow, stretching for hundreds of miles, surrounded by rolling mountains, high in the west and low in the east. In the middle of the canyon, there is a stream about several zhang wide, and the stream flows all year round, dividing the canyon into east and west.
Lion Hump Canyon, although it is called a canyon, is not a narrow deep stream between lofty mountains and steep peaks.
On the contrary, this canyon that is hundreds of miles long, with mountains and rivers in the east, is connected with the Xiutu wasteland, and the elevation of the peaks is not high, most of them are about two or three hundred meters, but the mountains are extremely steep, and people and animals are extinct. There are also no peaks more than 300 meters above sea level in the west, but the terrain is higher and looks a cut above the eastern peaks.
However, the western peak is a gentler slope with few trees, weeds, and thorn vines.
As far as the eye can see, you will see a green meadow, which stretches into the distance with the undulating slopes of the mountainside, which is actually a natural pasture given by God.
In addition, Lion Hump is called the Grand Canyon because this canyon that is hundreds of miles long has only two exits. One is the northern valley mouth blocked by Pound's troops, and the other exit is the vast desert of hundreds of miles of yellow sand; And at the end of the meadow pasture on the west side of the canyon, there is also an endless desert.
Therefore, there is actually only one exit from the Lion Hump Grand Canyon, and that is the mouth of the northern valley guarded by Pound.
Of course, if one is able to hike up the steep peaks on the east side of the canyon and climb over the mountains, they will eventually be able to enter the Hutu Wasteland.
In fact, Li Li led his army to the wasteland this time, and at noon on the day he arrived at the horse farm, he had already learned that the habitat of the wild horse herd was in the Lion Hump Canyon. But he didn't move, but instead pointed at the alien light cavalry hovering around the wasteland, exterminated them one after another, and then used a trick to lure the Pegasus thieves into the big battle, taking the opportunity to weaken the Pegasus thieves' strength.
Now, Li Li's original intention has been basically realized, leaving only the wild horse herd entrenched in the Grand Canyon and the more than 8,000 Pegasus thieves in Huanfei's department.
As long as this remaining threat is further eradicated, the hidden danger of Hugh Slaughterhouse will be completely eliminated, and only additional troops will be stationed in the future, and you can rest easy.
Once and for all, this is the ultimate purpose of Li Li's army in the wasteland.
Because the Hutu Wasteland is adjacent to the desert, Li Li had a plan when he passed through this place earlier, and the small county of Hutu will not cultivate the wasteland, nor will it increase the population, but will use this place as the war horse pasture of the Wuwei army. In this way, it can not only protect the city from being swallowed by the desert, but also provide excellent war horses with a continuous source of energy. After all, war horses eat grass, not uprooted, wantonly reclamation, and will not cut down a large number of trees and destroy jungle vegetation.

"Da Da Da!"
The horse crossed the stream in the valley, and Li Li rode his horse on the grassland to the west of the canyon, relaxed and happy.
Prancing horses and galloping on the grassland, this is Li Li's dream for a long time.
He had been tied up by many affairs before, but he didn't expect that after the horse farm was robbed, he let him get his wish to the Prancing Horse Grassland and enjoy this proud journey given by nature.
Maybe running as you like this is just a moment of luxury, but Li Li's long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and his heart was very satisfied.
Born in troubled times, no one can enjoy life as they want, and it is a gift from God to relax occasionally.
Heaven and earth are impermanent, and those who are content are always happy.
"Roar!"
The huge beast roar that suddenly reached his ears shocked Li Li's quiet and natural mind, and the previous feeling of relaxation and joy disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Suddenly, Li Li raised his sword high in one hand, and motioned to the seven thousand iron horsemen behind him to stop.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The roar of the beast from the west became more and more urgent, and the sound became louder and louder, shaking the mounts of Li Li's army and letting out a roar.
After hearing the source of the beast's roar, Li Li calmly waved his sword and rode straight to the edge of the desert to the west.
"Da Da Da!"
In an instant, the sound of horses' hooves was loud, and seven thousand iron horsemen rode their horses and whipped their horses, and crushed towards the west of the grassland.
Half an hour later, Li Li led the army to the top of a hillside in the northwest corner of the grassland, and looked down on the battle situation below.
But at the foot of the mountain a few miles away, more than 8,000 pegasus thieves under Huan Fei's command were entangled with tens of thousands of wild horses, and the roaring and neighing of people and horses were mixed into pieces, and the noise was incomparable. And the Pegasus thief leader Huan Fei is fighting fiercely with two huge beasts with golden manes, and the golden-maned beasts let out earth-shattering beast roars from time to time, faintly commanding more than 10,000 wild horses to collide with the Pegasus thieves to fight and fight, the battle is fierce, and it is impossible to see the winner for the time being.
"Whew!"
After Li Li saw the battle situation under the mountain clearly, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes widened, and he was stunned.
Since his rebirth, Li Li has been fighting for more than half a year, and no matter how big the formation is, he will not frown, let alone be frightened.
However, at this moment, he was indeed deeply stunned by the battle under the mountain!
Pegasus thieves and more than 8,000 horsemen collided with more than 10,000 wild horses to fight and fight, but this scene was unheard of by Li Li and only seen in his life.
For a moment, Li Li was stunned and shocked.
The golden-maned beast can command tens of thousands of wild horses to fight the Pegasus thieves head-on?
What kind of monsters are these two beasts? Could it be that they are the same beasts that have prompted the alien iron riders to come to the wasteland again and again to catch them?
Suddenly, Li Li had many doubts in his heart, and watched the battle under the mountain with a cold expression.
In the current battle situation, Pegasus stolen more than 8,000 horses, even though they had armor on their bodies and weapons in their hands, they could only collide with the wild horses, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate. And Huan Fei, who has always been incomparable, abandoned his mount at this time, holding a shield in his left hand and a wolf's tooth sledgehammer in his right hand, fighting with the two golden-maned beasts on foot.
One person fights two beasts, far away from the main battlefield, and the fight is dark and fierce.
And Huan Fei was still at a disadvantage, besieged by two fierce beasts left and right, and the wolf's tooth hammer on his right hand was actually scratched by the claw of the slightly larger beast among the two fierce beasts, and the wolf's tooth hammer fell to the ground. Right now, he is holding a round shield in both hands, parrying the bite of the fierce beast left and right, only the ability to parry, but no power to fight back. (To be continued)
