Space-time SWAT

Tiger Leaping Gorge was more than [-] li away from the paddock campsite, they galloped fast and arrived there in half an hour.Passing through the canyon, reining in the horse at the mouth of the canyon and looking far away, you can see the dust and sand flying in the northwest direction, and you can faintly hear the rumbling sound like a drum beating, rushing here with the momentum of thunder.

Su Dongchen and the others didn't dare to delay, and immediately drew out the sharp knife and ax they had specially brought, rushed to the top of the cliff to cut down the giant tree, and then threw it down.The officers and soldiers in the canyon dragged the giant logs to the mouth of the valley, and piled them up layer upon layer, as high as two people, and piled them up seven or eight layers back and forth, blocking the mouth of the valley tightly.

Before the meeting, Su Dongchen asked his soldiers to collect the cloth, and brought all the brocades that the emperor brought to reward people. They were in various colors and looked very bright.At this time, they were all tied to the flagpoles cut from branches, and the long flags fluttered in the wind, very eye-catching.

Shi Qing and Jiang Yuanwu didn't quite understand. Su Dongchen explained to them, "Bisons are easily irritated by things that shake violently. When they see them, they are like seeing enemies. They must kill them quickly. I will lead people to hold these flags and wave them. Lead away the herd of wild cattle. You take people to guard here to see if the following beasts will follow. In addition, I suspect that there are people who are good at taming animals like those in the circus troupe near the herd. If you detect them, take them Human control. As long as the herd is out of human control, it will definitely not last long, and it will disperse by itself in a short time."

Shi Qing and Jiang Yuanwu didn't understand the principle of "bullfighting" by shaking the cloth at all, and they didn't dare to doubt what he said seriously, so they could only obey his assignment.

Su Dongchen divided his troops into five thousand.He personally led a thousand soldiers to protect the people holding the banners and galloped northwestward.The other [-] officers and soldiers were divided into four thousand-man teams, lined up in a marching formation, and guarded around them.

The confidants left behind by Shi Qing, Jiang Yuanwu, and Su Dongchen respectively commanded the officers and soldiers of their camps, distributed inside and outside the Tiger Leaping Gorge, up and down the mountains, closely monitoring the movement in the distance, and ready to respond at any time.

Su Dongchen took the lead and ran towards the smoke and dust in the distance.

Soon, Du Li reported to him, "After testing, the smoke on the grassland is not all the sand raised by the galloping herds, some of it is the smoke from burning herbs. The smoke from burning herbs is harmful to herbivorous beasts." It's a great temptation, it makes their blood boil, but it doesn't satisfy them, so they keep chasing it."

Su Dongchen immediately turned his head and said to a hundred households of the guards beside him: "Take people around Tiger Leaping Gorge, and watch for signs of burning grass along the way. If there is burning grass, put it out immediately, and bury it deeply with soil. Be sure not to burn grass. Let the smoke disperse." Now that the wind direction is uncertain, he dare not take the risk of people moving the burning grass to other directions. If there is a southerly wind, the smoke will float in the direction of Tiger Leaping Gorge, and it will not be able to reach the moving beast. The purpose of the group forward route.

"Yes." The Baihu made a gesture, and led his centurion slowly slowed down, exited the team, and then turned around and ran back.He divided his troops into several places, and asked his subordinate soldiers to carefully search for the place where the smoke was coming out, put out the fire, and then buried it deeply with sand to ensure that no trace of smoke leaked out.

Su Dongchen continued to gallop on the horse, and soon saw the herd of beasts galloping forward.Tens of thousands of beasts cover the sky and cover the sky, rushing in like a raging torrent.Their sharp horns shone with a sharp cold light in the sun, and their flying hooves shook the ground, carrying an unstoppable momentum.

Su Dongchen exhausted his eyesight, and under the guidance of Du Li, he finally found the bison king running in the front.

Its body was huge, almost twice as thick as the buffalo beside it, and the two horns on its head were long, thick and sharp.Its two big bull's eyes turned blood red, and hot smoke spewed out from its nose, obviously its emotions were boiling to the extreme.The same is true for other bison, but their nature makes them instinctively follow their king instead of running around.If the properties of the medicine in their bodies are not understood, they will run until they die of heart failure.

Although he couldn't see the large herd behind the bison herd clearly, Su Dongchen expected them to be in the same situation. At most, their symptoms were milder than those of the bison herd that bore the brunt.If such a huge herd of beasts fell to death together, it would also damage the vitality of the grassland.Not only did he want to divert the tide of beasts away, but he also had to find a way to ease the effects of the medicine in these beasts and calm them down, otherwise they would run around without knowing the direction, and they would definitely hurt the herd, and then die from exhaustion.For herdsmen with a radius of thousands of miles, this is a huge disaster.

Su Dongchen commanded the entire team to change their route, approaching the herd in an arc, and waved the flags greatly, while asking Du Li in his mind, "Is there any way to calm them down?"

Du Li checked the vast amount of information he carried, and then compared the characteristics of this time and space. After a few seconds, he got the result, "The first is cooling, the second is neutralizing medicine, and the third is anesthetic. According to our existing resources, cooling It’s not feasible, there are not enough medicinal materials for the neutralizing potion, so we can only use some anesthetic herbs to grind them into powder, sprinkle them out and let the beasts inhale them, and then they can calm down slowly.”

"Okay, then do it quickly." Su Dongchen stared at the extremely irritable bison, estimating the distance, "How much time do you need?"

Du Li calculated, "This method is useless if the dosage is too small, it needs a large amount. I can make the first batch after at least 10 minutes, and I will make a batch every 10 minutes in the future."

"Okay." Su Dongchen raised his spear, drew a circle in the air, and then pointed obliquely to the left.Basking in the autumn sun, the spearhead shone with dazzling golden light.

The whole team turned to the left together, jumped out diagonally, and galloped northeast.All the flag bearers lined up in a skirmish line and galloped side by side.Dozens of long flags fluttered in the wind, winding and flying like a dragon, firmly attracting the sight of the buffalo herd and making them follow closely.

In order for the shaking of the banners to attract the sight of the bison, they should not be too far away. Su Dongchen signaled the four thousand-man guards to spread out to the left and right, away from the rushing beast tide. Most of the horses of these officers and soldiers are Mongolian horses. But the frenzied herd.After sending off the guards, he led his bodyguards to protect the flag bearers and galloped 200 meters in front of the Buffalo King.Their mounts are all good breeds from the Western Regions, such as Dawan horses, Xiji horses, sweat horses, etc., and they can sprint very fast in short distances.

The Buffalo King made a long mooing sound, stomped on the ground with his thick legs, and chased after them with red eyes.The entire herd was led by it, and the direction of travel gradually changed.

In just 10 minutes, they led tens of thousands of beasts like a tide and ran for more than ten miles, but the distance between the two sides was shortened a little, only more than one hundred meters.This situation was very dangerous, but neither the standard bearer nor the soldiers panicked, and followed Su Dongchen closely, unwaveringly.

Su Dongchen slowed down, and at the same time raised his hand and waved vigorously, signaling others to overtake, and then released the crushed anesthetic herb.Because they were ground very finely, these medicinal herbs were released like light smoke, drifting with the wind, and were inhaled by the bison in the front row of the herd, and soon took effect.The blood in their eyes has decreased a little, and their speed is also slowing down.As long as they hold down their stride, the herd of beasts behind them will instinctively slow down, and the situation is obviously more optimistic.

They continued to run in the northeast direction like this. Every 10 minutes, Su Dongchen kept changing positions, releasing medicinal herbs, trying to let the herd behind them inhale them as much as possible, and delaying the violent illness.

Half an hour later, the condition of the bison king and the surrounding strong bulls improved greatly, and the speed was greatly slowed down. The cows and calves behind were unable to run, and gradually stopped, gasping for breath, and some even lay down On the ground, long white smoke continuously spewed out.

At this time, the autumn is crisp and the grass is lush. The bison and the various deer, gazelle, antelope, etc. behind them all bow their heads to eat grass and lie down to rest.Wolves, jackals, tigers, leopards, bears and other ferocious beasts looked at Kong and rushed up to snatch away many old, weak, sick and disabled animals that had run away to the point of death, and then scattered away.

A crisis finally disappeared, Su Dongchen and the others galloped back and forth for more than a hundred miles, all the horses were exhausted.Su Dongchen led the army away from the herd for more than a mile, ordered the whole army to get off their horses and rest, and then sent a scout team to scout around to see if anyone was trying to burn the grass. If any suspicious people were found, they should be arrested or killed immediately. All places must be extinguished and then buried deeply to eliminate all hidden dangers.

Su Dongchen asked the flag bearer to roll up the flag and put it away, then sat down on the ground, took out the water bag and had a drink.While drinking water, he looked at the herd of beasts not far away, thinking about the enemy's plot.Now he is too far away from Yan Fei to contact him, so he can only judge by himself.

Speaking of it, it's actually not that complicated. A herd of beasts started to drive away the emperor, the emperor's grandson and the three princes. As long as these people were killed, Prince Kang would be enthroned as emperor.Since the power to protect these important people is very strong, if more than [-] people are dispatched to siege them, they can only be sent to attack secretly.Although he had combed and cleaned the Xishan camp, he still couldn't guarantee that there were no "nails" buried by others, and the same was true for the other two camps and the twenty guards of Shangzhi.There are too many spies and dead men, and there is always a possibility that the emperor will be surrounded by a hundred secrets. If someone succeeds, King Kang will be in power, and many forces in the court will be wiped out.

The beast horde was a huge threat, and it was impossible for them not to send someone to deal with it. Now that the herd of beasts lingered, they did not dare to leave, thus holding back tens of thousands of viable forces.However, as long as the emperor and his party reach the territory of Rehe, it will be useless even if there is a resurgence of beasts. At that time, the mastermind behind the scenes will not spend a lot of material resources to move these beasts.

Su Dongchen contemplated, then raised his head to look at the sky, calculated the marching speed of the emperor and others, judged their current position, and made a decision.
