Everyone stood up from their positions instantly. Although it was only evening and the sky was not completely dark yet, they had already lit a bonfire, and they had enough people. Generally speaking, wild animals would not provoke them like this. of large crowds.
Even wolves are no exception. In the wild, wolves, tigers, bears and other wild animals generally will not attack humans unless they are extremely hungry. What's more, the wolves on the grassland have all had some experience with herdsmen, and they all know that the herdsmen have bows and arrows that threaten them.
When a dim light appeared in the distance, everyone took a deep breath, "It's a wolf pack, and it's a large wolf pack. This isn't right." Baoli took a breath of air, and then subconsciously said .
"Baoli, what's going on?" the political commissar just said with a serious face.
"The political commissar is a wolf pack. There are about fifty wolves by visual inspection. This is not right. A wolf pack of this size can only appear when the winter is extremely cold. There is abundant food on the grasslands during this season, and wolves generally do not gather like this. Such a large scale." Baoli looked serious, "The general size of a wolf pack is five to a dozen."
The political commissar is not nervous. They are all professional soldiers here, not to mention the two hundred herdsmen and cavalry. Even if there are no herdsmen and only one hundred cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, the political commissar is not nervous. The armor they are wearing is just a gift from the wolves. .
Of course, wild animals are accustomed to targeting the weaknesses of creatures, and armor is not completely protective, but at least human beings can take the initiative to send some non-vital organs into the wolves' mouths, and then take the opportunity to kill the wolves.
So the political commissar was naturally not worried. Not to mention them, he didn't see the horses around him. These herdsmen's horses were somewhat commotion. On the contrary, Datang's war horses made no movement.
It's not that Tang Dynasty's war horses are more powerful, but it's just that they have never been seen before.
Moreover, these war horses have undergone some rigorous sound and light training. Compared with the sound produced by gunpowder explosions, these wolf howls are just like that.
The war horses on the grassland had seen wolves and knew how scary wolves were, so they were somewhat agitated, but they were also calm.
"Zhou Min." The political commissar said loudly.
"arrive."
"Give them all the armor. You guard the perimeter first. Let them all wear it. Give them weapons and arrows." The political commissar said loudly.
"Yes! Everyone, come here and put on your armor." The adjutant called Zhou Min yelled, and then he took out a set of armor directly from the bag that was removed from the horse next to him.
There were three hundred of them in total, but not three hundred horses.
"Give it to us?" Baoli was stunned for a moment and pointed to himself.
"Of course they are for you. These were originally given to you. Originally, the weather was too hot, so I gave them to you after we got to the place. Now that there is danger, please put them on." The political commissar said calmly.
Baoli was stunned for a moment. Under the light of the fire, the all-steel armor shone brightly. It could be seen that the shape of these armors was the same as the armors worn by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Is this... just given to them? You must know that there are 200 Turks here, and only 100 Tang soldiers.
If they wear these armors, they can be defeated and killed at any time.
Baoli didn't know how to express his thoughts for a while. He had thought of this kind of problem, and there was no reason why these Tang people couldn't think of it.
"What are you doing standing there, put on some clothes?" the political commissar shouted.
Soon these Turks were wrapped inside, and soldiers from the Tang Dynasty were stationed outside. Pieces of armor were taken out from the bags unloaded on the ground and handed over to them.
After these Turkic soldiers fell silent, they all began to put on their armor silently.
The armor was worn directly on top of their original leather armor.
These wolves did not attack. They were still far away and the leading wolf could not be seen, but they did not retreat either.
It just seemed to be surrounded from a distance.
Soon all the Turkic soldiers put on armor and touched the brand-new steel armor on their bodies. Baoli didn't know how he felt. He had never worn it in his life. Oh, no, let alone wearing it, he had never seen it before. Such neat armor.
Even the Khan's bodyguards and even the general's armor were not as complete as theirs, with such a large protective area.
And he touched it, and the iron piece... was so hard that he couldn't even bend it with his hands. It was much stronger than some of the iron pieces on armor he had seen.
"Use this." A person next to him pulled out a few arrows and handed them over.
Baoli subconsciously reached out and took it. When he saw the cold light flashing on the arrow, the sharp arrow looked extremely ferocious. Baoli didn't know what kind of armor could protect such an iron arrow.
And what arrows did the Turks use before? The most numerous are bone arrowheads, which are polished from animal teeth and bones, because this is the most common and abundant material on the grassland, and it is also relatively sharp.
There are also iron arrowheads, but the number is too few. The herdsmen themselves use very few even bone arrowheads. They all use wooden arrowheads. They have no choice but to be poor.
Looking at these ferocious arrows, he suddenly understood why Khan was unwilling to fight against the Tang Dynasty. How could they defeat such a Tang army?
"These wolves should not attack. They may have just seen a large number of horses gathering from a distance before, but did not see us. They thought they had prey." Baoli said.
The grassland is still very cold at night. Although it is already the end of June, it sometimes snows in June on their grassland, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.
So at the beginning, they asked the war horses to circle outside. They were all inside. Hundreds of war horses circled around. It was normal for the wolves to find them.
If you see people now, these wolves will most likely not get involved.
"If you don't become the best, if you do, protect yourself. War horses are not important. Talent is the most important thing, do you understand?" the political commissar explained.
"Don't worry, political commissar. There are so many of us, just a few dozen wolves. They won't attack. After all, there is no shortage of food on the grasslands this season. If it is winter and there has been heavy snow, it will be hard to say." Paul Li smiled.
Facts have proved that these Turks know the prairie wolves very well. These wolves probably stayed around for about an hour. During this period, they even approached them at a distance of about tens of meters, but finally retreated.
Although the wolves left, the political commissar still arranged for people to keep vigil for two hours each.
There was no words for a night, until the morning sun rose the next day, and the wolves did not appear again. Obviously these prairie wolves are not stupid, they will not risk their lives to rush up, unless they have been hungry for a long time.
