Volume 1 The East China Sea Dilemma Chapter 45 Wolves in the Mountains

Before he could start the attack, he encountered obstacles, which annoyed Wei Zhang.

"Don't worry, Childe, the last general has a new idea." Sun Xiaocheng said.

"Then you don't say it quickly!"

"Since the rock strength of this southern slope is very weak, you may be able to try to carve out a climbing staircase by yourself, but it takes a lot of time......"

"Huh?" Wei Zhang didn't understand this, he was a little puzzled, and asked, "Climbing ladders?" How to do it? ā€

"We chiseled through the rocks, step by step, and dug out the ladders. In this way, the staircase can be used as a point of focus and foothold for climbing. This southern slope is more than 2,000 feet, and a ladder can be dug every two feet. According to the current subordinates, it can be completed in about one day and one night! ā€

"No! One day and one night is too long! Tell everyone to do it, five hours! Be sure to dig out the climbing ladder, and everyone's dispatch is up to you and Li Chuan! ā€

The news that the East China Sea army was marching in two ways would not be long before it reached Nangong Sui's ears, and if it was delayed for a day, then his plan to attack Hancheng would be greatly discounted.

"Subordinates take orders!"

As a result, the people in the Tongque camp began to get busy, and the sound of clanging stones came and went.

After a few hours, they still made it up the south slope. It was late at night, and the cold wind was strong on the southern slope, and the people of the Tongque camp were already exhausted, and the long march and digging the mountains and rocks had consumed all their strength.

Everyone sat on the top of the hill, panting.

"Childe, judging from the annotation of the map, you can reach the Tiger Leaping Stream by walking five miles north from the top of the mountain, if it is late today, why don't you let the soldiers camp on the spot and rest for a night?" Li Chuan took out the map, held the torch and said to Wei Zhang.

Wei Zhang knew that it would be impossible for the soldiers to come to Hancheng tonight, even if they really arrived in Hancheng, they would not have the slightest combat effectiveness.

"Then rest and camp on the spot. Send out spies to the front to check on the situation of Tiger Leaping Stream! ā€

So, the Tongque camp began to set up camp, eat some dry food, and sleep in the cold wind.

"Ahh When the sky was bright, Wei Zhang faintly heard a commotion in his sleep, and there were a few wolf howls mixed with the noise.

"Li Chuan!" He straightened his armor and shouted.

Li Chuan walked into his camp, "Childe, are you awake?" ā€

"What's going on out there?" Wei Zhang asked with a frown.

"It's a pack of wolves! The men of the battalion got up early to get water and make breakfast, but they encountered wolves, and only one of the more than a dozen people escaped. And they also lured the wolves over. ā€

"It's just a pack of wolves, do you need to be so noisy? Just send an archer to shoot! Wei Zhang was a little upset that he was woken up.

"Not yet!"

"Why?"

"We haven't found the wolf yet, and if we attack rashly, the wolves will attack our barracks."

Wei Zhang frowned, "How many?" ā€

"Densely packed, it should be no less than eight thousand."

"What?" Wei Zhang shouted in surprise, originally he thought that there were only about a hundred, but he didn't expect that there would be so many, there would be so many wolves in this small Huayin Mountain?

He hurriedly walked out to check the situation, and now it was just dawn, and rows of soldiers were confronting the wolves with torches.

Outside the camp was a dense pack of wolves, these wolves were half a man tall, very large, and a pair of lantern-like eyes emitted a faint green light.

"Whew!" The howls of the wolves came and went, and a wolf like this was a great threat to people, not to mention that there were so many.

The entire camp was surrounded, and the wolves had no intention of attacking for the time being, as if they were waiting for something, or had already treated them as a meal.

The wolves did not attack, and the soldiers did not dare to attack first.

"Childe, this wolf pack has besieged us, although we have not attacked for the time being, but we can't sit still. It's better to ......," Li Chuan said worriedly.

"Wait, what's that?" Wei Zhang, who had been staring at the wolves, interrupted him.

Following the direction he pointed, Li Chuan saw that there seemed to be some commotion behind the wolves, and then the wolves in the middle slowly began to split their way, and a woman wearing a leopard skin came out from behind.

The woman wore a high ponytail, had dark skin, and wore a necklace around her neck with the teeth of an unknown animal.

He also carried a bone bow on his back, and a dozen arrows were placed in the leather pouch around his waist.

Such a woman, walking among the wolves, the wolves actually took the initiative to get out of the way?

Seeing the woman swaggering out of the wolves, the soldiers were alarmed, and the archers drew their bows and pointed their arrows at the woman.

"Stop!" Wei Zhang opened his mouth and asked the soldiers to put their bows and arrows down.

With so many wolves, this woman can freely shuttle among the wolves without being bowed and arrowed, and there must be some way to control the wolves.

"Which of you is the head?" The woman stopped in front of the soldier and shouted.

Wei Zhang stepped out of the soldiers and stood opposite the woman.

"You're their head?" The woman looked at him coldly and asked arrogantly.

"Down, Wei Zhang, I don't know who the girl is and why she can ......"

"You don't care who I am!" Wei Zhang's words were interrupted, and the woman stretched out half of her tongue and rolled it up, and a whistle came out of her mouth like a wolf howl, and then a gray wolf walked up to her with the corpse of a young wolf in her mouth, and put the dead wolf down.

"Your people, kill my wolf cub, tell me, what should I do?" The woman asked, pointing to the wolf corpse.

Wei Zhang immediately understood that this woman should be with the wolves, and it is very likely that this group of wolves was domesticated by her.

The reason why the barracks was surrounded by wolves was that the men who were fetching water met the dead wolf on the way to fetch water, so they killed the little wolf, and they would be frantically retaliated.

"What does the girl want? Why don't I compensate the girl with some gold and silver? ā€

The woman smiled coldly, and suddenly with a movement of her right hand, a bone arrow appeared in her hand. Wei Zhang only felt a cold wind blowing on his face, and immediately after that, the woman's face appeared in front of him, a chill on his neck, and the arrow of the bone arrow was against his neck.

"Then I'll kill you, and then tell your parents to pay some money, do you think they can agree?"

Li Chuan and the generals of the Tongque Battalion were startled by this sudden scene, and shouted nervously, and the archers instantly drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the woman in unison.

"Stop! Let go of Childe! ā€

"What are you going to do?"

Wei Zhang's neck was cut through a layer of skin by a sharp bone arrow, and a thin trace of blood appeared on his neck.

"Li Chuan, don't come here, let them put down their bows and arrows, this son is fine!" Wei Zhang held his hands up, indicating that he was not a threat to her.

"Humph!" The woman withdrew the bone arrow, "Hand it over!" ā€

Wei Zhang's body relaxed, and then said, "Escort the guy who escaped back to my son!" ā€

Soon, Li Chuan brought someone up, and the guy still had a bite wound on his body, and he knelt on the ground tremblingly.

The woman walked up to the man, sniffed at him, then nodded, and said, "It's him." ā€

"Then I'll give this person to the girl, can the girl let the wolves disperse?" Wei Zhang asked.

"Childe spare his life! Childe spares his life! When the man heard Wei Zhang's words, he was immediately frightened, if he was handed over to the woman, he would probably be dead, and the terrifying scene of the men being bitten by the wolves made him unforgettable.

If he hadn't practiced kung fu for a few days, I'm afraid he would have died in the mouths of the wolves.

Wei Zhang ignored his pleas for mercy, not to mention this woman's own martial arts, there are so many wolves surrounding them! If the life of one person can be exchanged for the lives of the five thousand soldiers of the entire Tongque Battalion, it will not be a loss.

"Say! Why do you want to kill my wolf cub? The woman asked, holding the man's collar in one hand and with a slight chill.

"I... I—" A pungent smell came, and liquid ran down the man's crotch of his thighs.

Wei Zhang lightly covered his nose with his hand, "You guys went out to fetch water, why do you want to kill wolves?" ā€

"Childe, I'm ......" The woman's sharp gaze staring at the young man made him so frightened that he couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Girl, it's better to put him down first, he's so nervous like you that he can't even speak clearly."

The woman put him down, and the man replied in a trembling voice: "Childe, you can't blame the villain for this matter. It was Captain Jiang who ordered us to do it! Originally, we were going to go back to camp after fetching water, but... Guy Jiang happened to see this little wolf sleeping by the stream, and then said......"

In the latter words, the voice became quieter and quieter, and by the end it was no longer possible to speak.

Wei Zhang asked in a deep voice, "What do you say?" ā€

"Say...... Kill the wolf, and then eat the wolf's meat,......" said the man, glancing at the woman with a sneaky eye, for fear that she would suddenly run away when she heard it.

Sure enough, when she said this, the woman's fists squeaked, and the man was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "It was the gang leader who killed the little wolf, and I didn't even move my hand, and the wolves suddenly appeared....."

Wei Zhang finally understood the cause and effect, living in this world is the law of the jungle, and people kill wolves to eat wolf meat, from the perspective of human beings, there is nothing wrong.

It's just that now that it's surrounded by wolves, if you say that it's natural for people to eat wild beasts, it will definitely not work.

Forced by the situation, he had to bow his head to others, Wei Zhang hurriedly said: "Girl, since it is the fault of my subordinates, you can only mention any requirements!" I, Wei Zhang, will never shield my own people! ā€

"Childe, save the villain!" The guy cried and hugged his thighs.

Wei Zhang was bored for a while, you lured the wolves to the camp, and you still wanted the Tongque camp to be buried with you? Now he can only be sold to appease the wrath of the woman and the wolves.

The woman's anger gradually subsided, and she said to the husband, "Since the first evil has been punished, I don't want your life." ā€

"Thank you, girl! Thank you, girl! His son-in-law ignored himself, this woman was willing to let herself go, and the man hurriedly kowtowed and said excitedly.

"Huh! Don't rush to thank me just yet! But the woman raised her hand, "According to the rules of your human race, when your parents and elders die, you have to keep filial piety for three years!" You can keep my wolf cub filial piety for three years! Would you like to? ā€

"Yes! Willing! "As long as you don't want his life, then everything is easy to say!
