Chapter 9
On the river beach, Zhang He put up a pergola with his hands, and squinted his eyes towards the mountain, where the general of the Shu Army was located, but he only saw a dazzling light, sprinkled down from a long dark and towering hill.

Deputy General Dai Ling looked worried, and cupped his hands and said: "The general was ordered to rush to help Longxi, but he was blocked in the street pavilion. It was difficult to advance an inch for three days, and he lost his troops. Seeing that the situation in Longxi is critical, how can the army delay here? Why don't we divide our troops and go Save Longxi?"

Zhang He looked around and said slowly: "Otherwise, the Shu army is now trapped on the top of the mountain, and the way to draw water has been cut off. If there is no water on the mountain, the soldiers will be chaotic without fighting. At that time, my army will fill the mountain and take down the street pavilion. The danger in Longxi can be easily resolved."

Dai Ling squinted his eyes and looked at the top of the mountain, his worried expression remained undiminished: "But my army has been besieging the mountain for three days, and the Shu soldiers' momentum has not weakened at all. Every day they provoke battles on the top of the mountain. Could it be, could it be..."

"Could it be that there is another source of water on this mountain?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun couldn't help but sneered, looked at Dai Ling, and said, "Desolation! There is no stream flowing down the mountain, so it can be seen that there is no water source on the mountain. Besides, even if there is water on such a small mountain, how much can there be? It is definitely not enough for tens of thousands of horses to feed. General Dai, you are worrying too much!"

Dai Ling thought about it, so he asked, "But when will our army attack the mountain?"

"Four days later!"

"Four days..." Dai Ling murmured, and then ordered the soldiers to set up formations on the river beach, erect fences, drive the horses into the fences and surround them. Spread all of them on the river beach as a place for soldiers to rest.And wait for the follow-up troops to arrive.

When all the trivial matters were completed one by one, the sky was already dark.

Unlike the busy Wei army at the bottom of the mountain, the mountain was quiet.

Ma Di took off his armor, put his clothes on and lay on a temporary wooden bed, with his head resting on his arms, looking up at the night sky through the opened curtain.

The night breeze was cool, the stars were sparse and the moon was bright. A large round jade plate slowly emerged from the mountains in the east, hanging above the eastern sky, as if it was within reach.

The pure white moonlight swayed down softly, revealing every detail of the formation of the Wei army at the foot of the mountain.

On the nearby river beach, teams of soldiers with bows or guns crossed and patrolled in circles; on several mountain roads in the distance, yurt-style tents spread densely, scattered like refugee dens.

This primitive wild and beautiful scene made Ma Su temporarily forget the bloody fight during the day.

I can't help but feel the heroic feeling of "remembering the long distance of the world and standing alone in it",
Simply put, it's a little bloated.

When the mountain wind blows, it blows the thick bloody smell from the mountain road to the surroundings, and brings it up to the top of the mountain, which makes people extremely uncomfortable, and also pulls Ma Di from his reverie back to reality.

So he simply sat up and waved his hand to signal Zhang Xiu, who was also staring not far away, to come closer.

He has something to say.

The small victory during the day did not bring much joy to Ma Di, on the contrary, the fierceness of Wei Bing's fearless death shocked him even more.

At this moment, he urgently needs to talk to someone to dispel the uneasiness in his heart.

At this time, in the wilderness of the mountains and forests farther away, there were bursts of long howls of wild wolves suddenly, one after another, the sound was long and long, and the howling sounds seemed to be calling for companions, and gradually came from far to near.

Not long after, countless gray shadows dragged their long tails, appeared downstream of the river beach, and slowly went upstream along both sides of the river.Pairs of green eyes glowing faintly, all looking up at the direction of the hillside.

The focus of their sight is the corpses of thousands of Wei soldiers who died on the mountain road.

The pack of wolves stopped six or seven hundred paces away, looking warily at the soldiers of the Wei army who were blocking the path they had to pass, with low growls from their throats.

The low roar seemed to be a warning, warning Wei Bing to get out of the way, let them pass by, and have a feast.

The low roar seemed to be begging, begging Wei soldiers to put down their weapons and let them pass by. When there are dead people to eat, they usually don't eat living people.

The moment he saw the pack of wolves, Ma Di suddenly thought that Zhang Xiu was a hunter.

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly moved, and I had a bold idea, and quickly waved to Zhang Xiu.

Er Gouzi, come here!
……

Down the mountain.

The sudden appearance of a pack of wild wolves made the patrolling soldiers of the Wei army panic, and ran around shouting loudly.

After a while, all the Wei soldiers were startled and gathered in one place, with their bows and arrows outstretched, ready to fight.

……

Zhang Xiu quietly moved over and said in a low voice, "General, what's the matter?"

Ma Su pointed to the wolves at the foot of the mountain, then pointed at the tents of Wei Bing on the river beach, and asked tentatively, "Is there any way to make the wolves go crazy and fight Wei Bing?"

After thinking about it, he added: "The kind that never dies!"

"This..." Zhang Xiu carefully looked at the wolves at the foot of the mountain, looking a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid it won't work, there are only a few hundred wolves, and there are [-] to [-] Wei soldiers. If there is a real fight, the wolves may not be able to fight... "

"Besides, wolves are very disciplined beasts. They only listen to the wolf king. Although the general knows some ways to attract animals, he can't command them."

Hearing this, Ma Su suddenly looked disappointed.

After the prosperity and prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the scope of human activities has become larger and larger, but the space for activities of animals has been compressed and the number has become smaller and smaller.It is because Jieting is located in Longshan Mountain, and Longshan Mountain is connected to the Qinling Mountains for thousands of miles, so it is possible to see a large number of wild animals and wolves.

If it's in the plains, I'm afraid you won't even see a single wild animal's hair.

These hundreds of wolves are probably the biggest uncertain factor in Longshan.

I was extremely disappointed when I suddenly heard Zhang Xiu say:

"General, although the last general can't keep the wolves away, when he went south with the prime minister, he also learned some methods of attracting beasts from the southern barbarians, which can attract other wild beasts. I think there are mountains around the street pavilion, maybe it will There are tigers, leopards, bears, bison and other beasts, do you want to try it?"

"Try, try quickly!" Ma Di slapped his thigh, overjoyed, in order to cause trouble for the Wei army at the foot of the mountain, he decided to temporarily throw aside the moral bottom line.

When the soldiers sent out to the kiosk, he had issued a military order. If he couldn't keep it, the whole family would have a hard time living.

In such a situation, he can only choose to die as a fellow daoist rather than as a poor daoist.

But Zhang Xiu didn't move.

Facing Ma Su's suspicious gaze, he hesitated: "General, there are many corpses here, and the smell of blood is extremely strong. The beasts will go crazy when they see it. The general is worried that once the beasts are called, the situation will get out of control."

Ma Di was startled when he heard the words, and waved his hands hurriedly, "Call, call quickly! How many wild beasts can there be in the Longshan Mountains? See if you are scared, something really happened, and I will take care of everything."

"Hmph, I just want to taste the taste of tiger meat."

This is not a joke. In later generations, tigers have become a first-class protected animal. Not to mention eating, it costs money to look at it.

Zhang Xiu took out an arc-shaped flute from his pocket, and after touching it to his mouth, he didn't forget to ask again: "General, did I really play it?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ma Su stared at him, about to go mad.Zhang Xiu quickly lowered his head, and began to play "woo woo woo".

As soon as the sound of the flute came out, everyone felt their brains explode, their hearts were inexplicably irritable, and their blood was churning.

The sound of the flute is like sand rubbing against glass, or like a heavy hammer hitting the heart. It makes people feel very uncomfortable. I wish I could drag the player out, push him to the ground and beat him a hundred times, and then bite him to death!
Zhang Xiu played for about 5 minutes, then stopped.

Ma Di couldn't remember how he spent these 5 minutes, but felt that there was liquid flowing slowly in his nostrils, and his mouth was fishy and salty.

When I regained my senses completely, I felt my head was a little numb.

Then there was an earthquake.

The top of the mountain trembled slightly, and the water surface of the Tianchi Lake rippled greatly, rippling one after another, and the calm and wild mountains and fields suddenly became agitated.

The trees all around shook violently, mixed with the sound of rolling rocks, roaring like dense thunder.

At the same time, countless black spots, large or small, quickly gathered towards the Jieting River Beach from all directions.

"Beast...beast...beast tide!" Zhang Xiu fell to the ground, dumbfounded.

Having lived in the mountains since he was a child, he is very aware of the horror of the beast tide.
