Volume 1 ● The Relict of Shang Chapter 35 The wolf is coming
The wolf is coming, the wolf is overwhelming.
They were like crazy, ignoring the oncoming knives, even if their throats were cut in an instant, they still struggled and tried to bite.
In the face of the homeless, Guo Yang became softer and softer the more he killed.
In the face of wolves, Guo Yang became more and more frightened the more he killed.
Frightened, frightened!
These beasts are too difficult to deal with, and they will lose their combat effectiveness only if they cut off their throats, otherwise, even if they cut off a leg, they will struggle even more frantically, tearing desperately.
As soon as the battle began, it seemed that there was no end, and the wolves that gathered from all directions roared fiercely and swarmed up.
Before the wolves that had been cut down in front were dead, the groups behind them stepped on the bodies of those same kind and pounced on them.
In less than an hour, the wolf corpses piled up in front of the stone wall were already like a hill.
"Kingbeard, fire!" Guo Yang roared and slit the throats of three wild wolves.
Wang Huzi had led soldiers in the army, and relatively speaking, he had the most experience in combat. In the gap between Guo Yang's knives, he organized people to boil a batch of lard, soaked some wood and set it aside. For this reason, he also quarreled with Anu endlessly.
Anu was reluctant to give up his pork, saying that the king's beard was messing around. However, Guo Yang listened to Wang Huzi's advice and ordered more wood to be chopped.
Let's live first, and as for the issue of rations, it is for the living to consider. Once the cottage is broken by wolves or homeless people, everyone can only flee to the deep mountains and old forests.
"Chai!" Wang Huzi listened to Guo Yang's order, and while cutting down the two wolves with his hand, he turned his head and roared at a group of women below.
The women took the firewood, ran quickly up the stone wall, and skillfully threw the lard-soaked firewood outside the stone wall.
The wolves smelled the lard, and the momentum of the attack paused for a moment, and at the urging of the wizard's black horn, they attacked again.
"Fire!" Seeing a long pile of firewood piled up under the stone wall, Wang Huzi ordered a fire.
The women lit torches on a large brazier inside the stone wall, and one by one, passed them to the woman standing at the top of the wall.
With a "whoosh", the woman casually threw the torch outside.
With a bang, the dry wood soaked the lard, and when he saw the torch, he burned violently.
As twenty or thirty torches were thrown, a fire rose into the air outside the stone wall, and the scarlet tongue of fire took advantage of the wind to sweep thousands of wolves into it in the blink of an eye.
The wolves wailed, turned and fled from the flames, and ran off into the distance, like a burning monster.
However, before they could escape a few steps, they fell to the ground, struggling sadly, rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on them. There were also some wolves who rushed directly into the trench not far away, which was once filled with blue water, but now the water was stained with too much blood, and it was covered with hair.
The water extinguished the fire, but the wolves never climbed up again.
……
The wolves were much slower to attack. Wolves are afraid of fire, and of course, even more afraid of this kind of skyrocketing fire.
In the Zhou procession, the wizard on the ox cart stopped the horn urging, and he half-squinted his eyes at the vague figures on the high stone wall, his eyes slightly red from the light of the fire, and it seemed that there were also two fires burning.
"Order your wolf cubs and let them rush forward!" The general couldn't wait, he drew a bronze longsword, brandished it, and ordered the wizard to continue the wolf attack.
"That's fire." The wizard Atumu said coldly to the general.
"What's wrong with the fire? Anyway, the ones who burned to death were all brutes, urge them, rush up and bite those merchant crumbs to death! The general said with a hideous face and gritted teeth.
"Wolves are afraid of fire by nature." Atumu said.
"Grand Wizard Atoum, have you forgotten the oath between us?" The general turned his head, stared at Atumu and said coldly.
"The oath is to help you expand the territory of three thousand miles, and it doesn't say where you have to expand, right?" Atumu said expressionlessly.
"This broken cottage is like a dog thorn, pierced at the feet of my Great Yan Kingdom, please ask the Great Wizard of Atumu to pull it out. Only a clean territory can be regarded as the territory of my Great Yan Kingdom. The general thudded, thrust the sword in his hand into the sheath, and no longer looked at Atumu.
Atumu's face was gloomy, he hesitated for a moment, and once again picked up the horn in his hand.
"Woo-woo-woo-"
The sound of the trumpet was terrible, as if it contained annoyance, and more often than not, a cursed power from ancient times.
The wolves, who had been hindered by the fire, were once again furious, roaring, their gray hairs standing on end, and rushed into the fire and rushed towards the stone wall.
"Chai!"
"Throw!"
"Keep throwing!"
With the command of the king's beard, more wood was thrown off the stone wall, and the flames rose more than ten zhang high, exceeding the wall by one or two zhang.
The wolves were cursed by the trumpet, as if they had lost their nature, and they ignored the pain of their bodies, and plunged into the fire, and in the blink of an eye they were set on fire, like burning stones.
The stone walls had long been burned red by the fire, and the wolf's claws were scorched as soon as they came close.
The wolves poured into the fire, and instead became the burning material for the movement, causing the already blazing fire to rise into the sky, carrying a terrifying wail.
Just when everyone was cheering, Guo Yang, Anu and Wang Huzi began to worry.
The wolves in front of them were temporarily resisted, but in the distance, on those cliffs, a large number of wolves were climbing down.
Although those traps set in advance could block some wolves, in the face of the wolves all over the mountains, the hearts of these people slowly sank.
Four or five hundred people, old and disabled women and children account for the majority, and in the face of this boundless wolf pack, the odds of winning are really not much.
"Young master, you have to find a way. These wolf cubs are obviously being driven away, and if we don't kill those who drive the wolves, we will be eaten by these beasts sooner or later. Anu said with some anxiety.
"Lord, it's not a way to go on like this, we can chop firewood again, but there is not much lard." Wang Huzi was carrying a bright knife, half of his beard had been burned off by the fire, and he looked embarrassed.
Guo Yang nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You organize people to continue guarding, and I will kill that wizard." ”
"Young Master...... Wizards can't be killed. Anu said in shock when he heard this.
"Can't be killed?" Guo Yang frowned and asked.
"According to legend, all wizards are actually a wizard, and if you kill one, his master will know about it, and will curse you for eternity, sending all his doppelgangers to hunt you down." Anu said with a terror on his lips.
"All wizards are a wizard? Shall I just kill him? Guo Yang said in amazement. He knew very little about the wizards of Southern Xinjiang.
"There are five great wizards in southern Xinjiang, and each wizard has countless clones, and you can't kill them all, so you can never kill the great wizard." Anu said.
"It's a bit of a ghost. But if I don't kill him, he'll kill us people. It's okay, since he has many doppelgangers, Lao Tzu will kill slowly! Guo Yang was plotted by the wizard's horn before, and he was already on fire, and now he sees that the cottage is about to be breached, where can he take care of the future.
He turned to Anu and said, "If I can't come back, you can lead these old and disabled women and children to retreat into the secret passage of the back mountain, and let them hide for the time being." As for the others, Anu and Wang Huzi led them to retreat into the mountains, looking for a dangerous place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and temporarily resisted. Please! ”
After speaking, Guo Yang turned around and got off the stone wall and ran towards a cliff in the distance.
There was a secret passage to the outside, which could go around to the back of the Zhou people's team.
