Chen Zhen started to get nervous. The wolf pack had already begun to tighten their crescent-shaped encirclement. The east, north, and west sides of the yellow sheep herd were surrounded by wolves, while the south side was a huge mountain ridge. Chen Zhen guessed that some of the wolves might have already circled behind the ridge. Once the general attack began, the yellow goats would be chased over the ridge by the wolves. The wolves behind the mountain would wait for the yellow goats to be killed and work together with the wolves on the other three sides to surround and annihilate the yellow goats. He had once heard from the herdsmen that this was a common method used when a few wolves were chasing a yellow goat. He asked,"Abba, how many wolves are there behind the mountain? If there aren't enough, we can't surround many yellow goats."
The old man smiled slyly and said, There are no wolves behind the ridge. The alpha would not send a wolf there.
Chen Zhen's eyes were filled with doubt as he asked,"Then how are we going to surround them?"
The old man laughed softly and said,"At this time of the year, there are more people fighting from three sides than from four sides."
Chen Zhen said,"I still don't understand. What tricks are the wolves playing?"
The old man said,"Behind that ridge is the famous Snow Nest of the Elun Grassland." The grassy slope diagonally opposite was a windward slope. When the white wind blew, the snow on this slope could not stand still and all blew to the back of the mountain ridge. The other side of the mountain became a big snow basin. The leeward snow was half a person deep at the edge, and there was no flagpole at the deepest place. In a while, the three-faced wolf pack would drive the yellow goat over the ridge and then press down fiercely. What kind of formation would that be?
Chen Zhen's vision turned black, as if he had fallen into a pitch-black deep snow hole. He thought that if he was an ancient Han soldier who had ventured deep into the grasslands, he would definitely not be able to see through such a huge conspiracy and trap. He also seemed to understand why the Ming Dynasty general Xu Da, who had driven the Mongolians back to the grasslands and won every battle inside the pass, was almost completely wiped out the moment he entered the grasslands. There was also the Ming Dynasty general, Qiu Fu, who led a hundred thousand troops into the Mongolian grasslands and attacked all the way to the Kululun River in Outer Mongolia. However, Qiu Fu was killed in a trap and the rest of the Han soldiers were wiped out by the Mongolian cavaliers.
The old man said: In war, wolves are smarter than people. We Mongolians learned how to hunt, surround, and fight from wolves. You Han people don't have big wolves in your territory, so you can't fight. In a war, it was useless to rely on a large area and a large population. The outcome of a war depended on whether you were a wolf or a sheep...
Suddenly, the wolf pack began to attack. Under the leadership of a white-necked, white-breasted wolf king, the two large wolves on the westernmost side charged towards a protruding hill near the yellow sheep herd. It was obvious that this was the last gap in the three-sided encirclement. After seizing this hill, the encirclement was formed. The sudden action of this group of wolves was like sending out three signal flares for an all-out attack. The pack of wolves jumped out of the grass and charged at the yellow sheep from the east, west, and north. Chen Zhen had never seen such a terrifying battle before. When the human army charged, they would shout in unison," Charge! Kill!" When a pack of dogs charged, they would also bark wildly to boost their prestige and scare the enemy, but this was a sign of weakness or lack of confidence. The wolf pack charged silently, without a single cry or howl. However, in the world, the eyes, hearts, and guts of humans and animals were filled with the most primitive, cruelest, and most famous horror in the world: The wolf is here!
The wolf pack sprinted through the tall grass like dozens of torpedoes that broke the waves and sneaked at high speed, carrying the sharpest and most piercing fangs and the wolf's gaze as they rushed towards the yellow sheep herd.
The yellow goat, which was so full that it could not run, was so frightened that it staggered. Speed was the main weapon of the yellow goats to fight against the wolf pack. Once they lost their speed, the yellow goats were almost like a flock of sheep or a pile of mutton. Chen Zhen thought to himself that the yellow goat would definitely be even more terrified when it saw the wolf pack than when he first saw them. Most of the yellow goats must have already lost their souls. Many of the yellow goats were trembling on the spot. Some of them even knelt on the ground, sticking out their tongues in panic and shaking their short tails.
Chen Zhenzhen had experienced the grassland wolves 'outstanding wisdom, patience, organization, and discipline. The wolf pack had worked so hard to suppress their temporary hunger and greed, patiently waiting for the best opportunity that they had not seen in many years, but they had actually disarmed the yellow goat so easily.
He had a flash of inspiration. The great illiterate military strategist Genghis Khan, as well as a large number of illiterate and semi-illiterate military commanders and generals from the Quanrong, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, Mongol, and Jurchen tribes, had actually destroyed the great country of China, which had produced the world's military saint, Sun Tzu, and the world's military code, Sun Tzu's Art of War. It turned out that they had such a large group of great and outstanding military instructors. Having such an excellent, clear and intuitive actual combat military observation classroom; He also had the experience of fighting such an elite wolf army for a long time. Chen Zhen felt that these few hours of actual combat military observation was far more knowledgeable than studying Sun Tzu and Clausewicz for a few years. It was more shocking to his character and soul. He had been obsessed with history since he was a child, and he had always wanted to figure out one of the biggest mysteries in the history of the world. Where did the military talents of the small people of the Mongolian Empire, who had swept through Europe and Asia and created the largest territory in the history of the world, come from? He had consulted the old man Billig more than once, and the wise old man Billig, who was not very educated but knowledgeable, used the most primitive but most advanced teaching method to gradually resolve the doubts in his heart. Chen Zhen was in awe of the grassland wolves and the grassland people who worshipped the wolf totem.
The battle and observation continued.
The yellow goat herd finally started. Only those old yellow goats and head goats who had been tested on the battlefield could resist the irresistible temptation of the delicious green grass in winter. They controlled their bellies to a range where they did not sacrifice their speed. They instinctively turned around and ran towards the ridge without wolves, and threatened most of the yellow goats to escape together. With a big belly, stepping on the thick snow and climbing up the hill, the yellow sheep herd was really miserable. This was a true massacre, and also the punishment of wisdom for stupidity and carelessness. In the eyes of the old man Billig, the wolf pack was doing justice for the heavens and doing good for the grassland.
