Chapter 998: Hidden Attack
"Because the horn of retreat has not yet sounded!"
"Does the Great Khan want to retreat? Will he encounter a large number of enemies, but can we rescue them with only so few men?" asked the leader of the guards!
"You're enough!" He Zhou looked into the distance, answering his question.
The more he talked, the more confused he became, the leader of the guards thought to himself.
Then he was very annoyed that he didn't have the cleverness to ask questions. Or didn't find the hint in the words of the son of Zhou Zhou very smartly.
Because these clever people from the Central Plains often say strange things that no one can understand! The camel that Hezhou sat down on continued to move forward with easy and swift steps. Silently stepping into the soft loose sand. These are the trained noble camels' mastery of the forbidden and well-behaved and docile, and thus they have become the noble mounts. In normal times, they simply don't go that far, but now it seems that their foot strength is still excellent. As long as the Khan followed the only route the general had stated, they could easily turn behind them and use the salted fish to create a flawless rescue.
The leader of the guards gripped the camel's saddle hard, then looked for the slightest trace in the sand, his expression focused and serious, he didn't want any oversight to ruin the trust he had always had.
His observation has always been very good, and in his sharp eyes, any slight trace on the sand will be magnified into a vivid and vivid basis for tracing it.
"At the moment, no one has been here. Khan: Sure enough, they didn't go through this route. What appeared on his face at this moment was not a confirmation of the general correctness of the line, for it only proved that the Khan did not pass through here, which had no essential effect at all, and it was even more difficult to explain why the Khan must have taken this path when he retreated.
Under normal circumstances, he would continue to ask questions, even if he would be facing the Great Clan. In order to better protect his master, he can't have a little doubt, but today's situation is completely different, and there is an innate temperament in Gongzi Zhou, which makes him seem to be sure that this son's judgment is eighty percent likely to be wise. But this idea doesn't seem to be able to be carefully pondered, because when you dig deeper, you will find that it is actually unfounded.
The leading guards took their eyes off Hezhou's backs and let them land comfortably on the open sand in front of them, and although the night had already dropped a little, he could still see what type of sand was sliding on the ground far from him. This innate ability of night vision made him doubly trusted from the very beginning when he entered the gaze of the Great Clan. And not only that, but his hearing is also top-notch. Among them, if he was prostrate on the ground, he could hear any horse roaring and galloping thirty miles away.
In this way, it seems that they will not be disturbed in any way tonight. It's quiet for dozens of miles.
When Sha Mu heard the sound of chattering outside, he made a shushing gesture to Sansso, and then whispered, "You just wait here for me to come back, don't move." The reason why he didn't let Sansso-Wu continue to hide back in the small hole behind him was because the voice he had just heard was fundamentally contrary to the direction he had been paying attention to before. Then, at the same time, he put the fingers of both hands into his mouth and made a clear whistle, which was a different whistle, using the length of the sound to distinguish the transmission of some information, and now this one is an alarm sound to remind everyone that something unusual is happening.
The soldiers who had already fallen asleep woke up without exception after hearing this sound, but according to the order in the whistle, they all stayed in their places quietly, neatly arranging their weapons. Be ready to go. Shamu also checked his own business, then took a deep breath and cautiously moved in the direction where the sound came from. He immediately noticed that in the direction they had previously ignored, two werewolves were poking their heads in this direction, and if there were only two werewolves, it should not be much of a danger, and they should be able to continue to hide quietly in the cave without any interference. But now that night is falling, there are actually many things that are unpredictable. What's more, after the passage of time, some hungry werewolves, they will definitely make new choices, even if they have already predicted it, they will pay an extremely high price. Shamu reminded himself vigilantly that he would never be able to judge the behavior of these werewolves according to human thoughts. A day had passed, and it was already a long day for the werewolf's patience. After poking his head out, he did not immediately withdraw his body, but pretended to walk casually at the entrance of the cave, and deliberately ignored the existence of the two werewolves, as if he only poked out of the hole for the forgotten little bit of camel meat.
But in fact, he had already flashed his gaze to the side, and he wanted to make sure that there were no werewolf peeps in other directions besides these two men. Of course, if there are too many obstacles in the line of sight, he can also use his smart enough nose. No matter how complex the smell outside of this cave is, the smell unique to the werewolf will be the most prominent component of it. The combined efforts of his sight and nose soon made him realize that the werewolves had indeed climbed to the top of the cave face, and planned to hide there, waiting for a chance to lure them out and attack them unexpectedly. And those must be far more than the few corners he could see now.
As for why the werewolves still haven't attacked, it should be thanks to their previous initiative, and now in the eyes of these werewolves, they must not be honest fat, but hot potatoes with horns on their heads and thorns on their bodies.
However, Sha Mu is actually brewing a way in his heart, that is, the Han people say that the thief captures the king first, these werewolves in the process of predation, in addition to fierce attacks, have also been paying attention to protecting their leader, before, when he went deep into the werewolf formation, Sha Mu had almost touched the core they were protecting, but at that time he noticed that he was in danger, so he immediately retreated from the core. Shamu remembered that the werewolf leader had a colorful coat color that was different from his kind. Werewolves are in awe of the colored hair of their own leader. They should have thought it was a special blessing from the gorgeous sun for the werewolves.
So, even in the midst of a scuffle, they should be able to spot the werewolf leader with ease.
Now, the only thing needed is a bow and arrow. Used to pierce the throats of werewolf leaders and leave them leaderless.
