279 The Devil and the Wolf
All the mountain-searching troops of the devils have already gathered at Fujiwara, and they are leading the wolf to chase the traces left by Li Hongzhi and the others, and they have now arrived around the wild wolf valley.
By scouting Fujiwara, they discovered the rope they used to go down the valley. It's just that when Fujiwara pulled the rope up, he found that there was only one section left, which was not enough for them to go down to the valley.
It turned out that the bandits in Mao'er Mountain were afraid that there would be pursuers, and the last two people, after going down the rope, lit the rope, but because the rope was relatively wet, it was not all burned, and a small section was left.
Fujiwara is now pretty sure that he can complete the task as long as he can catch up with those in front of him. He asked the signal corps to send a telegram to the division commander to report on their progress. Then he asked the soldiers to gather materials nearby and prepare to go down the valley.
Chen Yunzhang: The descent of them into the valley was relatively smooth. Before coming, the bandits and the lynx had inquired about the terrain, and they had brought ropes, and now everyone had gone down the valley and had made some way forward.
The bobcat is the old hunter of the mountain, and he is in charge of leading the way, and as he walks, he suddenly makes a gesture for everyone to stop. He found a pile of feces. After carefully distinguishing it, he said to Chen Yunzhang: "Captain, this is wolf feces. It seems that there are really wolves in the Valley of the Wild Wolves. ”
"According to the locals, this place has been inaccessible for many years, and the wolves here may have become the climate, so everyone should be careful. Chen Yunzhang said in a deep voice.
As it continues to walk, the lynx keeps finding wolf droppings. This made everyone's nerves tense, and through this feces, they knew that there were not many wolves in Wolf Valley.
Li Hongzhi and the more than 200 people are now resting in place, and they have been walking for nearly two hours since they went down to the valley. Because there are many elderly people and children in the team, they can no longer walk. Li Hongzhi chose a relatively flat place for everyone to rest, and the rest of the bandits were on guard.
Zhou Min walked up to his side and asked, "Master Li, how long will it take for us to get out of the valley?"
"At the pace at which we are moving forward now, I guess it will take more than two hours. Li Hongzhi frowned, and the obvious worry could be seen on his face. He didn't know if the bald man and the others killed the devil's dog?
At this time, Li Dao suddenly shouted brother: "Look, the wolf smoke of Longshou Peak is up." ”
Zhou Min followed the direction pointed by Li Dao and saw that just behind them, thick black smoke was rising from the top of a mountain peak in the distance.
Zhou Min looked at Li Hongzhi inexplicably and asked, "Master Li, what's going on?"
Li Hongzhi pursed his lips and said, "Major Zhou, the place you saw smoke is called Longshou Peak, which is the highest place in this mountain. When Maoershan Cottage was first established, our ancestors built a beacon tower on it. As long as the wolf smoke is together, it means that there is a crisis. Because the terrain is very high, you can see it within a radius of more than ten miles. So we generally use the wolf smoke of Longshou Peak to warn. ”
As soon as Zhou Min heard it, he understood what he meant, and immediately asked: "Then now that this wolf smoke is burning, does it mean that something is wrong?" ”
"That's right, the only people who know the wolf smoke of this Longshou Peak are the people from our Mao'er Mountain cottage, it must be a bald man, the wolf smoke that you take people to light must be the devil catching up, the devil is likely to have gone down the valley, we must speed up." ”
Hearing Li Hongzhi say this, everyone's faces changed. Now there are really wolves in front of you and tigers in the back, and if you go forward, you may encounter the attack of wolves, and it is even more impossible to go backwards, those are little devils, they are not even as good as animals.
Moreover, although this team is more than 200 people, there are only more than 100 young people, and they use a variety of weapons, including old sleeves, Hanyang and 38 big covers.
"The devil caught up, everyone got up and hurried away. ”
As soon as they heard that the devil was catching up, their legs, which had been filled with lead, seemed to have strength, and everyone supported each other and accelerated their march.
Fujiwara: Their speed is very fast, and now, they are standing in front of the wolf corpse that was killed by Li Hongzhi just now.
This wolf can be said to be dead, because the three wolves are biting his flesh.
Fujiwara looked at the three military dogs and said, "What a fierce wolf dog, I didn't expect them to eat wolf meat, Yo Xi." ”
Fujiwara's captain said, "What Your Excellency Osa said is that these three dogs are worthy of wolf blood, and you can see how good their bite is. ”
The three dogs tore the flesh of the wolf carcass vigorously. Blood stained his chin, and he looked indescribably hideous.
Fujiwara said to his men, "Everyone be on alert. The dead guide said that there was a place in the mountains called Wolf Valley. There are wolves, maybe this is it. ”
The devil soldiers dragged the three wolf greens who were reluctant to leave the food and continued to move forward, and Fujiwara was now full of confidence. He was confident that he could catch up with those in front of him, and along the way, the traces they left behind became clearer and clearer. It doesn't take three wolves to spot the traces they left behind.
At this moment, the three dogs suddenly barked wildly, and they were restless. It's a little hard to hold them with a chain.
Fujiwara raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, the behavior of these three dogs was too abnormal.
At this time, there was a sudden shaking in the forest to the left of the devil. Then a few shadows came running quickly.
All the devils noticed these shadows, and their reactions were the same as those of the bandits just now, all shouting: There are wolves! There are wolves! The only difference is that they immediately put on a shooting stance.
The professionally trained devil soldiers are not at all comparable to the rabble of bandits. The devil's marksmanship was very accurate, plus many people fired, and before the wolf could rush over, he was already shot and fell to the ground. But one of the taller wolves, instead of falling to the ground, turned around and limped into the woods.
"Leave that wolf alone, keep going, our prey is ahead. Fujiwara commanded.
But to Fuji's surprise, a wolf suddenly broke free of the chain and ran towards the forest. Looking at its appearance, it was obvious that it wanted to chase the injured wolf.
"Yaga, how did you lead the dog?" Fujiwara unceremoniously shook the dog's mouth.
Then the devil heard the wolf howling and the dog barking. After a few minutes, the voice faded away. The wolf and the dog were silent.
Fujiwara motioned for a few soldiers to investigate. A few devil soldiers cautiously entered the forest and put on a defensive formation, all their guns loaded, for fear that a wolf would pounce. Then they looked at the wolf green lying in a pool of blood. The two devil soldiers carried it in front of Fujiwara. This is the wolf's throat has been bitten by the wolf. The fur on his body was also soaked in blood, apparently cut by the wolf's claws. There is also a pinch of wolf hair in the wolf's mouth.
Seeing the tragic scene of this wolf green, Fujiwara was angry, and gave the little devil a few big mouths just now. The unlucky devils have all had nosebleeds.
The other two devil soldiers who were holding the wolf couldn't help but swallow and spit at the foam, and secretly wrapped the rope leading the dog around their wrists a few times. They were afraid that the two wolves would repeat the mistakes of the past.
