The boat is as fast as a dragon, and the bow is as frightening as a thunderbolt.
Li Ning bent his bow and set up an arrow, using the archery skills he had inherited from the Mongolian grasslands since childhood in Asia Minor, where the Mongols had never been.
Memnon was also displaying the fighting skills of the Greeks, and the heavy sword was powerful in his hand.
He had to rescue to buy time.
However, he was too old after all, and his rapid decline in physical fitness made him lose the ability to protect himself in front of the wolves.
Finally, he slumped to the ground, while the wolves surrounded him, preparing to choose the angle of attack for the final blow.
The angle is adjusted. The Wolf King signaled his bravest warriors to attack.
The strong male wolf howled and jumped towards Memnon.
Memnon hurriedly raised his sword and prepared to block.
He knew, however, that this was of no avail.
However, just as the wolf's front paws stepped on Memnon's chest, an arrow pierced the wolf's chest.
There was another howl, but this time it was the wail of a wolf falling to the ground.
"I hit it! Gongzhi is a good archer!"
On the ship in the distance, bursts of cheers came one after another.
The wolves felt the noise of the crowd.
Innate fear began to spread in their hearts.
What's more, their enemies still maintain a cool head.
"Brothers, use rockets. These beasts are most afraid of that thing."
"You're right, why did you forget this? Come on, brothers, light the torches and ignite the rockets, and send those wolf cubs back to the west."
Not long after, the wolves saw a ball of yellow light flying towards them.
After giving the order, the Wolf King began to retreat with his people.
They left several burnt corpses behind, but still left without appearing embarrassed.
There was a burst of cheers on the ship, and Memnon and others on the shore also let out a sigh of relief.
After a while, the people on the boat came to the shore and saw their tragic scene of bloody flesh and blood.
"Are you okay?" Li Ning saw that the person he rescued was still alive, so he walked over, stretched out his right hand, and asked, "What's your name?"
"Memnon."
Li Ning's hand shook, and the two of them loosened their hands. Memnon, who had just been pulled up from the ground, sat back down with a sigh.
This attracted the attention of many people around.
Balzas raised his sword and looked at Li Ning.
"Ah, I'm sorry. This name reminds me of a person." After saying that, Li Ning reached out to Memnon again and successfully pulled him up. Then he asked casually, "Is the injury okay?"
"It doesn't matter."
"What do you do? Why are you in such a dangerous place? I heard there are tens of thousands of troops nearby."
"Hey, I'm one of them."
"Really? Are you Greek?"
"Yes, but I am a mercenary, now fighting for the King of Persia."
"Really? Are you here to investigate?"
"That's right!" Memnon turned around to check the injuries of his sons, and looked at the sky with some sadness, "Maybe it's wrong."
"My condolences." Li Ning patted his shoulder and suddenly said, "I also need mercenaries. They mainly serve as caravan guards, and they are much safer. If you want to change your job, I think I am suitable for you."
"Thank you. But this is war and we have to face death."
"That is. But as far as I know, your opponent, the barbarian king in the north, doesn't like you people very much. In his place, you are often denounced as traitors to Greece."
"Whatever he says."
"Don't be like this." Li Ning shook his head and said, "Look at that young man, he followed you and died. We have to think about our followers."
Li Ning sat down and saw his subordinates on the opposite side bringing a hot soup pot with a fat fish cooked in it.
He smiled at the other party with satisfaction, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"you're right."
Memnon said suddenly.
"But the war leaves us no choice."
"I just gave you a choice."
"I mean, I may not be alive the next time I see you."
Li Ning put down his chopsticks and suddenly smiled: "Persian masters are all stupid, right?"
"Not just stupid."
"Then I still say the same thing. Come and join me. As for the battlefield, I will find a way."
"What can you think of?"
"You don't have to worry about this. When the time comes, you will know how to cooperate with me."
Before he finished speaking, the soldiers on the opposite side came over with several doctors and began to look at the injuries of Memnon's sons.
Not long after, another young man had to give up treatment.
Memnon lost two sons.
Sadly, he declined Li Ning's invitation to have dinner.
And the latter has no intention of continuing to pay attention to the situation here.
He walked to the river and watched with interest the soldiers catching fish.
There were many fish here that they had never seen before.
Even the most common grass carp has some differences.
As for the taste, it is worth savoring.
But Li Ning had no time to pay attention to this, because Su Yan found a parchment left for him in the abandoned military camp opposite.
"They went east." Li Ning said after reading the parchment. "Alexander wants us to keep up with them, and he is preparing to declare war on the Lebanese army the day after tomorrow. He will have a simple meeting with the other party tomorrow."
"Why the meeting?"
"How do I know?"
Li Ning really didn't know that Alexander was influenced by Pang Ji and others, and he also wanted to talk to the opponent's coach before starting.
However, he did not do it to clarify any facts, but to intimidate the other party with falsehoods.
Of course, it wasn't long before the mystery of this intention was revealed.
But now Li Ning just wanted to have a good rest, and Memnon, who had already treated his wounds, had already taken his sons and left.
When they parted, Li Ning told the other party that he was Li Ning from the Kingdom of Heaven, and he was the Li Ning who really needed excellent mercenaries.
After Memnon had walked far away, he turned around and shouted to him: "I am willing to consider your suggestion."
the next day.
Alexander appeared on the river beach as planned, but it took a long time for Spiridates and Astis to appear in front of them.
However, they were still greeted by Alexander's respectful and humble greeting: "My respected Persian opponents, this website had no intention of fighting with you because we just suffered a defeat a few days ago."
The two governors were very surprised when they heard this. The Macedonian army, which was extremely powerful, actually had enemies that it could not defeat.
But they did not ask. Instead, Astis said sarcastically: "Dear Your Majesty the King, since your unjust war has already been defeated, why don't you stop here? Maybe we can still..."
"Please listen to what I have to say." Alexander said, "The opponent who defeated us has now become our ally. He is very interested in my Eastern Expedition, and we have agreed to fight together to the ends of the earth. I admire him very much, so in I left him a note when I left. Whenever he finds me, I will launch an attack on you. By then, you will only lose worse!"
Astis said disdainfully: "Stop scaring people. I know you can fight, but we Persians are not easy to mess with..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of extremely tired soldiers appearing east of Alexander.
I saw that the soldiers were loose and their armor was crooked, and a small number of them were so tired that they were sitting on the ground unable to get up.
Astis laughed, but Memnon's expression immediately became tense.
At this time, he had returned to the Persian camp and appeared behind the two governors as an important general.
But he didn't expect that Li Ning would appear in this place.
But Alexander thought of it.
He just took a quick look and happened to see Li Ning walking at the front, motivating the soldiers to keep moving forward.
He was so happy that he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Astis also achieved something because of this. He pointed at Li Ning's army and asked with a sneer: "My respected king. Although we are enemies, there is no need for you to humiliate me with a group of old, weak, sick and disabled."
Alexander was furious. But he had nothing to say. Li Ning's army was really too loose to put on the table.
So, he had no choice but to shout to the other party: "Hey, put on a show, the Persians are laughing at you."
Li Ning was furious when he heard this, and immediately issued a series of orders in a series of language that sounded strange to Persians.
I saw a few soldiers lying on the ground lazily getting up, picking up the tools next to them - it was unclear what they were - and then... lying back on the ground.
"Hahaha!"
This situation made the Persians laugh non-stop, and even the Macedonian soldiers couldn't help it. Only Alexander looked livid, thinking that all the passionate words of this guy were lying.
However, at this moment, there was a buzzing sound, and more than a dozen bows and arrows pierced the hot air of West Asia and flew directly towards the two Persian governors.
Astis didn't react in time and was shot in the shoulder by an arrow. He turned over and fell from his horse on the spot.
The Spiridatis behind him was even worse than him - the guy plunged into the soil and fell upside down. When his men swarmed up and "picked" him out, the guy was already unconscious. Only then did Astis notice that there were two more arrows on the guy's horse. Although the horse also fell to the ground at this moment, it might never wake up. Both arrows were stuck in vital parts, and it was obvious that he would not survive.
Asitis no longer dared to underestimate Li Ning, so he prepared to withdraw his troops and return to the camp. No matter how frivolous he was, he would not dare to give the enemy a chance to attack halfway.
However, at this moment, Li Ning shouted loudly from the other side: "Who is the mercenary leader Memnon? I want to talk to him."
When Memnon heard this, he immediately remembered what Li Ning said last night.
It seems that he is ready to fulfill his promise.
