It’s not that I haven’t seen Animal World before, but when the herd of animals pours out from the corner at the foot of the mountain, the visual shock is still far greater than the experience on the screen.

The weather is dry, so the land is dry. When the herds run, the dust can be said to cover the sky.

Li Yong promptly presented a gauze scarf.

Covering his face with a gauze scarf, Li Xian waved his hand and ordered: "Free fire!"

As soon as the words came out, I suddenly felt something was wrong, so I had to add: "It just means shooting arrows casually."

Naturally, there is no need to give orders to open a bow and set an arrow, so many people have already completed their preparations. Following Li Xian's order, Xue Ne and a few others who were particularly confident in their archery skills shot their own arrows one after another.

The distance between this place and the vanguard of the herd is almost more than 200 steps. Those who dare to draw a bow at this distance are all true archers.

Li Xian thought that he couldn't hit it. He glanced at his arrow, which was as cool as armor. After thinking about it, he could only wait and admire the prey in front of him.

It makes sense to choose the royal hunting ground here because there is no shortage of water and abundant plants, so it also supports a large number of herbivores. Of course, what surprised him extremely was the number of carnivorous animals such as tigers, leopards and wolves.

In later generations, except for some nature reserves, wild beasts such as tigers and leopards have almost completely disappeared. If you find their traces from a distance, you will probably be more excited than scared.

The Tang Dynasty was different. Even in the Song Dynasty a few hundred years later, killing tigers was still called killing tigers, which was enough to know how many people there were.

The royal hunting ground has a large number of herbivores, and tigers will naturally be indispensable.

To ordinary travelers and people, tigers are harmful, but in front of the army, they are nothing.

Faced with a series of methods such as beating gongs, drums, and smoke to drive them away, they could only abandon their territory and flee desperately.

When the wild beasts are running away together, they don't care about anything else, so even if a small antelope comes into the tiger pile, no tiger will think about it. All prey are just to escape for their lives.

At this moment, Li Xian finally understood why the army had prepared so many stones. Because, at this time, just throwing a stone on the cliff will have an effect. As for the big stone that requires two people to lift, it is almost certain that something will be gained.

Although hunting can be so easy, no one does it.

If the prey of the "vanguard" is killed, it will only end up being trampled into a photo by the beasts behind it. Those who used bows and arrows before were all heading for the prey on the edge.

Finally, the herd of beasts ran to the foot of the cliff in front of them.

Facing such a shocking scene, even the well-trained war horses tapped their hooves uneasily.

However, what surprised Li Xian was that Lightning was not moved at all, and even took half a step forward in a playful manner, as if to get a better look.

Ignore it, because most of the herd has passed by now, and now is the time to attack the tail.

Survival of the fittest in nature, running fast may not necessarily completely avoid death, but at least you can die later.

The slow-moving prey will be in trouble.

There was no need to give orders. Along with a few sparse arrows, the cavalry approaching the cliff fired arrows one after another.

Those who can get to the front naturally have a high status.

For example, Ashina Tag, although this guy is very thin, he can still shoot arrows. Li Xian watched as his arrow hit the head of an antelope.

Compared with Ashinatag, Cheng Wuting and other generals were not far behind. They started from hundreds of battles. Even if they did not have much battlefield experience, they never gave up their martial arts under the influence of their fathers. For a general, the art of archery is a compulsory course for entry. Not all generals have the dignity to show off their proficiency in archery and brag about their prowess. (diss a certain Hou)

Arrows were shot out one after another, and their performance was naturally excellent, almost all of them hitting the prey's head. Among them, those with better luck, such as Pei Xingjian, even shot a tiger in the eye with one arrow.

Seeing the tiger fall to the ground, twitching a few times and then becoming motionless, the troops at the rear, led by his general, suddenly cheered.

Under the influence of these people, Li Xian also felt that he couldn't help but feel blood boiling, but...

He is very self-aware that the results these guys can achieve must be difficult for him to achieve.

They say there is no turning back when you draw a bow. If you shoot your own arrow, there will be no room for regret.

Just when he was worried, the tree was still but the wind was still blowing. Ba Lujia, who had just missed several arrows in succession, turned his head and saw the unmoved prince.

Born in the Plateau, although they also have bows and arrows, they can't compare with those in the Central Plains and grasslands. In addition, although he is equally brave, he spent a lot of time studying the Central Plains classics, the world and other knowledge about local customs, etc. Naturally, his archery skills are not as good as those in the Central Plains and grasslands. good.

On this mission, he did not expect to encounter activities like Qiu Hunt, which tested his guards. In the end, none of them had superb archery skills. In desperation, he could only go into battle himself. But who knew that he would not be able to do anything when he went into battle. Something can be gained.

In desperation, who knew he would find the Prince of Tang Dynasty who was unmoved.

The prince didn't shoot an arrow?

With this one at the bottom, he suddenly saw a glimmer of light. So what if I can't shoot accurately? There is a guy who doesn't even dare to shoot. If...

Surprised, Ba Lujia was about to speak, attracting everyone's attention to the prince. Who knew that the prince, who had been unmoved, actually shot an arrow with lightning speed!

The sun has just risen now, and everyone has their backs to the sun, so the golden arrows are particularly conspicuous even in the air among the black arrows.

Everyone watched as the golden arrow accurately hit the eye of a bear!

Seeing this scene, Ba Lujia was shocked...

As for Li Yun, who had been highly vigilant throughout the whole process, he naturally would not miss this opportunity. His sharp voice actually faintly drowned out the sound of the bow strings: "Your Highness is victorious! Your Highness is mighty!!"

Hearing Li Yun's voice, Cheng Wuting and others couldn't help but start scanning the whole place, ready to see what prey the prince had shot, worthy of Li Yun's shouting.

You know, although this is just autumn hunting, many rules follow the army.

Words such as "Wan Sheng" and "Mighty" are used in shouting, and they can only be of the level of a general who beheaded an enemy chieftain.

The golden arrows reflected the sunlight, which was so obvious. When everyone saw the wailing bear with the golden arrows in its eyes, they were all stunned. After a long time, they began to follow Li Yun and shout:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is victorious! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is mighty!!"
