Chapter Twenty-Seven: Desperate Protection
Sitting next to the fire, Chen Yi's heart was like 10,000 little beasts rushing by, how could he be planted in the hands of this little girl, thinking that he wanted to serve this ghost girl in Luochuan County Mansion as a servant for five years, who knows what he is going to be tossed into? Looking at the fire burning depressedly, did he look back at Luo Xiaodie, who was behind him, thinking that he must find a way to escape.
The two guards, Zhang San and Li Si, told their commander about the situation they had encountered, and after Commander Zhang learned the news, he was about to tell his young lady the news.
Commander Zhang came to Luo Xiaodie's side and told Luo Xiaodie what happened, Luo Xiaodie knew about it, and was a little panicked, because weapons were not very developed in ancient times, people rarely encountered wolves, and wolves rarely attacked people, and generally only attacked people's captive livestock.
Chen Yi stood up from the side of the fire, walked a few steps forward, and vaguely saw a flash of green light on the hillside in the distance, Chen Yi couldn't help but be surprised that it was the wolves who secretly followed him all the way to find this place.
Chen Yi looked at the unaware guards who were still on the side of the fire, they were talking and laughing completely unaware, and the horses that were tied up nearby became uneasy, constantly walking around, animals are often much more vigilant, could it be that the wolves are gradually approaching. The guards around were puzzled, what was wrong with the horse today, something was biting the horse.
The wolves in the distance were approaching little by little, and they surrounded the crowd, and the encirclement was shrinking little by little.
"Pick up your arms, wolves are coming." Chen Yi ran to the middle of the fire and shouted loudly, the guards who were roasting the fire hurriedly stood up, looked into the distance and found nothing, and became restless with the horses on the side, they kept pulling the reins desperately, as if some animal that frightened them was approaching.
The guards who were warming up by the fire all stood up, looked at Chen Yi in confusion, and looked around, except for the vague green mountains in the distance, there was nothing around.
Commander Zhang originally planned to tell his own lady about the situation, just in case, he planned to organize the team and rush to Luochuan County overnight, Chen Yi ran to the side of the dog, pulled the dog and ran to Luo Xiaodie, and told the dog that if he wanted to live, he had to follow the little girl step by step.
Whoa~~~ Not far away, there was a long howl, and the guards beside the fire heard that there was really a wolf, so they hurriedly took out their weapons and looked around in a panic.
There were bursts of howls around, and the guards knew that they had been surrounded by wolves, and looked at Chen Yi standing next to Luo Xiaodie curiously, and couldn't understand how a boy found the wolves, Luo Xiaodie also looked at Chen Yi curiously, feeling that he was full of secrets.
"Everyone take the torches, hurry up and get on the horse, and protect the young lady." Commander Zhang took the lead in riding the horse, and the rest of the people got on the horse one after another, the horse was already frightened, and it gradually quieted down under the continuous appeasement of everyone.
Chen Yi, who was dead-faced, hugged the wheels of the carriage, looking like if you don't want me to take the carriage, I won't get up, and everyone was refreshed by Chen Yi's rogue spirit.
What does a good husband do and what he doesn't do? Luo Xiaodie's head is full of black lines, and she really wants to cut off Chenyi's head to see what is in his head, she has seen shamelessness, but she has really never seen such a shameless person.
There are two more people in Luo Xiaodie's carriage, and Luo Xiaodie looks out the window at the guards through the curtain, secretly praying that the wolves will not attack.
The people on the horses, each with a torch in their hands, hoped that the wolves would not chase after them when they saw the fire.
"Let's go." The whole team slowly walked towards Luochuan and drove back, perhaps because of the wolves, the guards rarely said anything, carefully looked around in case there was an accident, ran forward for a while, in a place where there was a hillside around, the horses ridden, no matter how the master spurred, did not run forward, the horses were restless with their hooves in the same place, anxious to turn around. But he didn't dare to run any further down the road in front of him.
The wolves, who were already on the surrounding hillsides, suddenly began to attack.
The three big wolves in front of them, led by a white-breasted wolf king, rushed like lightning and approached the guards, and finally stopped in the middle of the road, apparently the last gap in the three-sided encirclement line. The sinister and cunning wolves seized the last place where they could escape, and Zhou Wei's wolves gradually appeared on the surrounding hillsides, looking at the people at the bottom, and the encirclement was formed. When they saw this, they dismounted, put the torches on the strongest side, and took out a sharp weapon with the other hand, and surrounded Luo Xiaodie's carriage, probably because of the fire, and the wolves around them stopped not far away.
When people were secretly venting, the sudden action of a group of wolves was like sending out three signal flares to attack in all directions. The wolves leapt up from the hillside and rushed viciously from the east, west, and north.
Chen Yi pulled up the curtain and looked at everything in front of him. When fighting, when people's armies are charging, they will blow the trumpet of the charge and shout in unison to rush and kill; But the charge of the wolves was silent, and the wolves were the cruelest, most cunning, and most intelligent animals in the world.
The wolves that were scurrying on the hillside in the distance, like dozens of bullets that broke through the wind and swooped down, rushed towards the crowd.
Chen Yika holds the people holding torches, how is it different from his imagination, aren't animals afraid of fire on the Internet? He threw the torch in front of him and clenched the weapon in his hand, for when the weapon was lost, the people outside would be like mutton on the table.
Chen Yi thought to himself, fortunately he met Luo Xiaodie and his group, otherwise he and the dog would have encountered wolves, even if they met a wolf, the two of them would definitely die an embarrassing death. Some of the guards had already died under the first surprise attack of the wolves, and some of their arms were removed alive by the wolves with their sharp teeth, and they were seriously injured. Many of the horses stood trembling, and the horses were sticking out their tongues and shaking their tails in a panic.
Luo Xiaodie looked at the constantly injured guards, and felt sad, she had never thought that wolves would have such remarkable intelligence, organization, and discipline.
Chen Yi looks at the guards who have to protect their Fluttershy even if they lose their lives, and suddenly feels so uncomfortable in his heart, that human life in this world is too worthless.
Looking at the constantly injured guards, I think of Genghis Khan on the earth, as well as the Dog Rong, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, Mongolian and Jurchen tribes, it is such a group of nomadic people who beat the mountains and rivers of China, a great country, to the ground in ancient times, and changed the dynasty.
The war and the observation continued.
The people finally barely got the upper hand. Those battle-tested guards finally withstood the first wave of attacks, but many people still died unfortunately, saying goodbye to their families forever, and some remembered that their families left painful and unwilling tears.
The wolves did not attack the wounded people who fell to the ground, but rushed directly at the herd of horses and sheep that had gathered in the entire convoy. The big wolf pounced on a few horses and bit their throats, and the bright red blood shot into the air like a fountain in the park, spilling onto the cold ground. The cold air was suddenly filled with the thick smell of horse blood.
The horses, which had an extremely keen sense of sight and smell, were so frightened that they ran desperately forward.
A few sturdy horses led the herd to the top of the northernmost slope.
