Chapter 362 Morning Hunt
'call out'!
An arrow pierced the sky, and the young emperor drew his bow and aimed at a hare.
The white rabbit ran very fast, and the next moment, bright red blood exploded, and the white rabbit fell into the dry grass, motionless.
At that moment, a guard came forward and picked up the white rabbit.
"Your Majesty is really the same as he was in the past, with every arrow hitting its target! Your prowess is still as strong as ever!" The deputy general complimented, his face full of joy.
Emperor Qianwu laughed loudly and said, "No! I'm still much older. I haven't practiced archery for a long time, so I'm not very good at it!"
The fat rabbit makes people feel good when they see it.
Emperor Qianwu seemed to be still unsatisfied, so he tightened the reins and said in a deep voice, "Go!"
A team of fine horses galloped past and plunged into the woods like lightning. Emperor Qianwu drew his bow and shot arrows, hitting a raccoon and a mountain rat along the way.
The emperor walked forward without stopping for a moment, heading deeper into the forest.
The sound of horse hooves raised a lot of dust. Although the green pines and cypresses in the forest were withered, they still exuded the fragrance of grass and trees, which was refreshing. The smell of soil made people even more excited.
After a moment, Emperor Qianwu saw another frightened deer.
The deer was not big, but it was obviously more exciting than small creatures like civet cats and mountain mice.
Emperor Qianwu shot three arrows in succession, but two of them missed the target and only one arrow grazed the deer's leg. The deer seemed to slow down a lot, but because it was frightened, it ran away like crazy.
Emperor Qianwu shouted in a deep voice and chased after him.
But the deeper they chased, the more they thought the deer had disappeared, but every time they could see its shadow again.
Soon, the sky was almost completely bright.
Seeing that Emperor Qianwu was still chasing, the deputy general could not help but remind him: "Your Majesty, we have already chased too deep! We should stop now!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we are too far away from the camp. If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid we won't be able to rescue you in time!"
"Don't spoil the fun! There are soldiers stationed around this hunting ground. I want to see who has the ability to do anything bad to me!" Emperor Qianwu spoke impatiently, his face full of displeasure, and the majesty of the emperor was fully displayed.
"Besides, you have lived in the capital for a long time, I also want to see your abilities!" After saying this, Emperor Qianwu's eyes were like torches, and he tightened the reins: "Go!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Several deputy generals and imperial guards dismounted from their horses and knelt on the ground.
"Get out of here!" Just at this moment, Emperor Qianwu caught a glimpse of the shadow of the deer flashing by, and then he whipped the horse's butt and galloped away!
Upon seeing this, several lieutenants and guards immediately mounted their horses and chased after him.
The emperor is a man of great military strategy and has been on the throne for a long time. He always keeps his word. How could he change his mind just because of the opinions of a few people and make himself unhappy?
Emperor Qianwu chased the deer for a long distance and shot a few more arrows at the deer, and the deer finally fell to the ground.
The guards stepped forward, lifted the deer up, and congratulated in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is so majestic!"
As soon as the group finished speaking, a whimpering sound of a wild animal could be heard in the forest: "Woo~!!!"
Then, the ground shook slightly, the birds in the forest fled in panic, and the small animals ran around.
"It's a wolf!" the deputy general said coldly, and immediately drew his long sword to protect Emperor Qianwu.
The imperial guards placed the emperor in the center, drew their long swords, and prepared for battle.
The expressions of the group were a little solemn. Wolves are social animals. If they met a big beast in the mountains and forests, they would not be afraid. But if they encountered a pack of wolves, their luck would be really bad.
"Woo~!!!" The whimpering sound of the beast was getting closer and closer.
One of the guards listened carefully and shouted, "It's not a wolf! It's a hyena!"
"Hyena?" People who don't often hunt are not very clear and ask subconsciously.
But if you often travel in the forest, you will know that hyenas are more terrifying than lions, tigers, or even wolves.
Hyenas are social animals like wolves and usually appear in groups. There are more people in a hyena pack than a wolf pack and they are extremely ferocious. Large insects and lions in the forest often die at the mouths of hyenas.
Hyenas look like dogs, but their heads are shorter and rounder than dogs'. Their fur is mostly yellow and brown, with many irregular black and brown spots on their bodies.
They run extremely fast and have extraordinary endurance. They also have extremely sharp, large and pointed teeth that can easily crush the hard bones of their prey, so they are called "bone crushers."
"Yes, it is an animal more ferocious than a wolf!" the guard spoke in a deep voice, with a tremor in his voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, hyenas jumped out of the forest one after another and quickly occupied several nearby high ground in a defiant manner.
"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!!!" the deputy general spoke loudly and held the long sword in his hand tighter.
After a while, at a glance, there were so many hyenas in the forest that it was impossible to count them at a glance, which made people's scalp tingle.
Emperor Qianwu had a stern look on his face, showing no fear at all, and still rode on his tall horse.
The powerful emperor took the lead in drawing the bow and arrow, and three silver-white arrows flew out. Before the group could see whether the arrow tips had hit their target, the nearest hyenas jumped up and pounced on them.
The agile and ferocious beast showed its silvery fangs, and after leaping up, it turned into black shadows, ferocious and swift.
A team of imperial guards rushed forward together, and for a moment, there were flashes of swords and blood everywhere!
A strong smell of blood instantly filled the forest. Two deputy generals stood beside Emperor Qianwu and killed the hyenas that pounced on them. They looked solemn, knowing that they had to fight quickly, otherwise the strong smell of blood would attract other wild beasts.
Emperor Qianwu was also not idle. He drew his bow and shot every arrow!
The whimpering of wild beasts and the shouting of humans were intertwined. Soon, broken arms and limbs flew everywhere, and bright red blood soaked the soil.
But hyenas are extremely tenacious and have great endurance, especially their fangs. Whenever they bite hard, they will tear off pieces of bloody flesh. The wounds are so deep that you can see the bones!
At this moment, a guard was injured and unable to dodge in time, and was bitten on the thigh by a hyena.
Soon after, three or four hyenas swooped over and devoured it in an instant.
Everyone in the group felt their scalps tingling and broke out in cold sweats, and they all protected Emperor Qianwu and retreated.
The emperor's face was cold, and the long arrow in his hand never stopped shooting. But soon, the arrows were all shot into the air. At a glance, only a few hyenas fell to the ground. Many hyenas around them, even though they were hit by several arrows, did not look like they were dying, but instead had fierce looks on their faces.
"Kill these beasts! Anyone who retreats will die!" The emperor drew out his sword, spoke sternly, and then rushed forward first.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Several guards rushed forward immediately.
The hyena perched on the rocks leaped up, and the battle horns of both sides were blown instantly. There was a bloody storm in the forest, people kept falling down, and the corpses of wild animals were constantly thrown out.
There were fewer and fewer people around Emperor Qianwu, and the hyena group finally saw the light of day.
But the two sides are facing each other, and the outcome is still unknown, and they are still in a stalemate.
Emperor Qianwu's armor was stained with blood, and his hair was disheveled, but at this moment, his eyes were full of brilliance: "It's great!"
