Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sudden Encounter with Wolves

Yunhua Mountain, Cloud City.

Zhao Xuan led the army of 300,000 Heavenly Empires to camp here.

In the tent, Zhao Xuan looked at the map of Jingyu and Yuzhou in his hand, and asked the scouts around him, "How is the current war situation in Yuzhou?"

When the scout heard Zhao Xuan's words, he immediately replied, "According to the report of the spies sent, the current situation in Yuzhou is critical!" ”

"Ba led an army of 150,000 to attack the city at night, General Mu swore to resist to the death, and the soldiers of Yuzhou City suffered heavy casualties, and finally the lord of Jiuhuang County used fire to attack and forced Batu to retreat."

Zhao Xuanben had been buried in the map on the table, and when he heard the scout mention the Nine Phoenixes, he raised his head to look at the scout in confusion and said, "The Nine Phoenix County Lord? How is she in the army? ”

The scout was suspicious in his heart, and asked Zhao Xuan uncertainly, "The third prince doesn't know about the county lord?"

The scout looked at Zhao Xuan and didn't answer him, but frowned slightly, and then the scout explained to Zhao Xuan, "I heard that the Lord of Jiuhuang County has been in the Yuzhou military camp since the emperor's holy decree."

Zhao Xuan didn't speak after listening to the scout's explanation, and after lowering his head and pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said to the scout, "Let the army be vigilant tonight, it is rumored that wolves often haunt Yunmeng Mountain." Wait until the early morning of tomorrow, and the army will continue to hurry, striving to reach the territory of Yuzhou in four days. ”

The scout heard Zhao Xuan's words and ordered him to go.

In the barracks, after receiving Zhao Xuan's order, the army lit fires everywhere.

In Yunmeng Mountain in summer, the forest is dense, and it is the most active season for mosquitoes.

In the face of the large army barracks, mosquitoes scurried in everywhere.

And those soldiers who slept in the past, from time to time, because of mosquito bites, subconsciously or turned over or scratched the places that had been bitten by mosquitoes.

In the middle of the night, the bright moon in the starry sky was hidden behind the clouds, revealing only the faint outline.

And in Yunmeng Mountain, where the insects in the woods could be heard silently, there was a sudden wolf howl.

The wolf howl of "Woo~Woo~" came from the woods, and the echo of the faint sound came into the barracks from far to near.

The soldiers woke up from their sleep one after another, looking at the black shadow outside the barracks and the pair of green eyes, and couldn't help but exclaim, "There are wolves!" ”

In the camp tent, Zhao Xuan, who had already woken up after hearing the wolf howl, suddenly heard the exclamations of the soldiers, turned over from the bed, and immediately rushed outside the camp tent.

At this time, all the soldiers and scouts in the army were already holding their weapons and confronting the wolves on the opposite side.

"How did you suddenly encounter such a large pack of wolves?"

The scout who heard the voice hurriedly turned around, and when he saw that it was Zhao Xuan, he said, "Three princes!"

Zhao Xuan nodded, looking at the wolves who were staring at the army, Zhao Xuan instructed the soldiers, "The wolves are the most afraid of fire, burn the fire in the barracks a little higher with a branch." ”

Wolves are indeed the most afraid of fire, but Zhao Xuan underestimated the group of wolves in front of him.

Under Zhao Xuan's orders, the fire in the barracks was getting bigger and bigger, and the fiery fire made a crackling sound. And its fire has already reflected half of the sky under the moonlit night.

The wolves not far away could already see their shapes in the light of the fire.

Zhao Xuan looked at the wolves in the distance under the reflection of the firelight, showing their shape, and couldn't help but gasp in his heart.

The black oppressive wolf pack was staring at the barracks with momentum, and at this glance, the number of wolves was tens of thousands of words, and they were all hungry wolves who looked thin but were actually extremely fierce.

"Woo~Woo~" A voice like a low wail, and a woman's crying voice sounded among the wolves. I saw that the wolves who were staring at the army just now, as if the army in front of them was the perfect meal in their bellies, suddenly launched his body.

The wolves suddenly launched an attack towards the army, which caught Zhao Xuan a little off guard, he didn't expect that the wolves who were afraid of fire would be able to attack under such a big fire in the barracks.

Zhao Xuan came back to his senses from the initial shock and immediately ordered the army to replace the broadsword in his hand with a spear to defend against the attack of the wolves.

The wolves frantically attacked the army, and the army was like a delicacy and followed the companions around them to scramble, or they were like a test with their companions to see who caught the most hunt.

When the wolves attacked, the scouts gathered around Zhao Xuan and asked Zhao Xuan to go to the camp.

Under the attack of so many wolves, all the scouts had to ensure Zhao Xuan's comfort.

Zhao Xuan glanced at the scouts surrounding him, and then at the army that was fighting against the wolves. One soldier after another was torn apart by the wolves.

Zhao Xuan didn't listen to the scouts, but instead fixed his eyes on the wolves that were attacking the army.

Although these tens of thousands of wolves were nothing in Zhao Xuan's eyes, he still didn't believe that the 300,000 Celestial Empire army couldn't exterminate only more than 10,000 wolves.

Although the elimination of wolves may make the army pay a relatively large price, Zhao Xuan knows that this is also inevitable.

It's just that this army is used to rescue the Yuzhou army and recover Jingzhou, not to fight wolves here.

Looking at the attack after only a fight, the soldiers of the Celestial Empire have already sacrificed nearly a thousand people.

Zhao Xuan's gaze was like an eagle looking at the wolves that were getting more and more crazy and ferocious.

He always felt that something was not right, and he had a peculiar feeling. It seems that the wolves that are attacking the army are not the intention of the wolves, but are under some kind of control.

Zhao Xuan listened to the abnormalities around him, but except for the sound of insects drowned out by the fight, Zhao Xuan did not find any abnormalities.

And he didn't think that among the insect chirpings he heard, a sound mixed with the sound of insects was the sound of controlling the wolves.

In Zhao Xuan's memory and cognition, although the wolves all went out in groups to find food, they would not be like what they had encountered, with tens of thousands of wolves suddenly appearing, not afraid of the firelight attacking army.

Suddenly, Zhao Xuan saw the difference between the tens of thousands of wolves.

The wolf's eyes are dark green at night. And the group of wolves in front of him, the original dark green eyes had turned blood-red at this moment, and under the reflection of the firelight, they became like bloodthirsty demons in hell.

Immediately, Zhao Xuan seemed to know what he had discovered.

A wolf suddenly attracted Zhao Xuan's attention, only to see that among the tens of thousands of wolves, one of them was much larger than the other wolf groups, and the eyes of this wolf were also the normal dark green of wolves, and I saw that this wolf was looking at Zhao Xuan with its dark green eyes.

Zhao Xuan suddenly understood something, and the wolf who was looking at him was the leader of this group of wolves, which was the so-called head wolf!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan immediately said to the army: "Prepare the archers, all the soldiers try to get close to the head with a ball of red hair on the head in the middle, kill it, and the wolves will naturally break through."

The soldiers of the army suddenly heard Zhao Xuan's words, and quickly brought bows and arrows, preparing to shoot the head wolf.

And the head wolf seemed to be able to understand Zhao Xuan's words, and suddenly let out another howl like before the wolf pack attacked, "Woo~woo~"

After the howl of the head wolf fell, the wolves attacked more violently, but the direction of their attack was in the direction of Zhao Xuan.

Seeing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhao Xuan's heart, and then he calmed down again, but the surprise in his heart was still there.

It seems that the first wolf is a wolf that has gradually gained wisdom, and can actually understand his words, or can see his thoughts, and fight back.

Under the confrontation between Zhao Xuan and the head wolf, the confrontation between the wolves and the soldiers, no one noticed that it was two miles away from the fierce battle between the wolves and the army.

On top of a tall banyan tree, a woman is sitting on a fork.

The woman, dressed in a green cloth shirt that blended in with the night, sat on a branch of the banyan tree, her two thin legs dangling in the air.

Rumo's hair was casually bandaged behind her head, a pair of star-like eyes shining brightly in the dark, and a whistle on her mouth was playing softly.

And the head wolf who was confronting Zhao Xuan, as well as the tens of thousands of wolves, heard the sound from the woman's whistle, so their eyes turned red and they attacked the army.

Suddenly, the woman who was whistling suddenly widened her eyes, stopped whistling, and swept towards the barracks at a lightning speed.

Under Zhao Xuan's order, the army finally shot the first wolf in the tens of thousands of wolves under a wave of bows and arrows, although it only shot the first wolf's eyeballs all the time, so as not to kill it, but it also made the wolves slow down their attacks.

Zhao Xuan was about to shoot the head wolf with a bow and arrow, but suddenly heard a woman's voice!

"Don't!"

Zhao Xuan's arrow feather shot at the head wolf couldn't help but be deflected because of the woman's sudden sound, and it happened that the deflected arrow feather shot towards the woman's flying body.

The woman was caught off guard and didn't expect the arrow feathers to shoot in her direction.

When he reacted and tried to dodge the arrow feather, it was too late, and the arrow feather landed on the woman's left arm.

Zhao Xuan's arrow with ten layers of internal force was enough to shoot the wolf, and although the thin woman was only shot in the arm, she still fell to the ground and fainted because of it.

After the woman's whistle stopped, the wolves did not hear a sound that could control them, and they had regained their original clarity.

These wolves, unlike the wolves, have already developed their own intelligence, and when they see the fire burning in the barracks, they can't help but run in all directions.

When the wolves dispersed, only the head wolf who had fainted on the ground and had walked to the woman who had fainted at some point.

Then, after Zhao Xuan instructed the scouts to settle the army, he walked to the woman who was knocked unconscious on the ground by her arrow not far away.
