In later generations, there was a shortcut from Gilgit to the Balti region, which was developed by the Pakistani tourism department, because most of the area is located in the glacial zone, known as the "glacial lake hiking route".

The road, which runs southeast from the Hunza River to the Nagar River, reaches the foot of Nanga Parbat Peak, where you can see patches of glaciers, as if the whole world has turned white.

It is the Hispa Glacier Belt, a section of the Huaba Kaspur Kunlun Mountain Highway to pass through here, once encountering bad weather, disasters often occur, therefore, Liu Ji has walked more than once, and later he can even be a guide for others, and no longer use other tools.

Right now, with fifty people, he's trekking on this glacier belt.

In the Gilgit River Valley in May, there is already a hint of summer heat, but the Hispa Glacier area, which is only more than 100 miles away, is full of howling winds and heavy snow, like another world.

The moment he bypassed the foot of Nanga Parbat Peak, Liu Ji understood that there were more difficulties than he imagined.

Because compared to the glacier area in his impression, the area he saw in front of him was not much larger, and the area was white for all directions, and without GPS, he could only rely on his feelings, experience, the sun, and a compass in his hand that he didn't know if it was accurate.

Just like the desert, if you get lost here, you will end up as a natural mummy, which may be found by future generations of mountaineers and become treasures in museums.

Fifty people, in a single row, each with a loop of rope tied around his waist, and the other end of the rope tied to the waist of his companion in front of him, and so on one by one, step by step on the foot sockets left in front of them, walking deep and shallow.

Zhang Wuyuan walked in the last one, behind him, dragging a sled, on which were all kinds of food and camp tents, the same sled, they were fifty people, a total of twenty-five, two people and one for one, each of them for an hour, and his part had been dragged for almost two hours, and he was at a loss.

The weight of dozens of catties is nothing to him, what he is really worried about is the fear of the direction ahead, this road, no one has walked, even this kind of weather and environment, he and these more than 50 people, only two days to adapt.

It's a gamble with your life! It's not one life, it's fifty, how dare you be careless.

Just as he was about to take a step, the rope in front of him suddenly shook twice, and he quickly stopped and tried to open his eyes, and sure enough, the sergeant in front of him made a gesture to pause his advance.

He retracted his feet, slowly crouched down on his legs, his hand reaching through his leather robe, and grasped the handle of the horizontal knife, ready for possible danger.

Liu Ji, who was at the front of the team, was almost exactly the same as Zhang Wuqi's movements, half-squatting on the ground, his feet were in a figure-eight shape one after the other, and the soles of his hardwood boots were "creaking" on the ice.

It was an animal with a height of one and a half meters and a body length of nearly two meters, its whole body was snow-white, only a pair of eyes turned like black beads, and the corners of its slender mouth opened from time to time, revealing sharp fangs!

Himalayan snow wolf!

He has been on duty on the Xiqiang border for many years, how can he not remember this animal with beautiful hair, at that time, no one would be afraid, because its number has been greatly reduced, it belongs to the national protected animals, for special forces with modern weapons and equipment, it is not a threat at all, they will sometimes throw some food in the area where the snow wolf is active, in the hope of saving this rare species.

But now it's the eighth century!

At this time, he has long lost the mood to take a picture and post it to Moments, showing off with his girlfriend, and what he thinks in his heart is, don't come to a large group, don't come to a large group.

"Whew!"

The snow wolf stared at him for a moment, his eyes full of curiosity, as if gauging their intentions, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and let out a long hiss.

It's broken.

Just as Liu Ji said this word in his heart, the rope behind him moved suddenly, and a low voice was blown into his ears by the wind, rapid and powerful.

"Enemy attack, fold, array!"

Behind him, he is not an uninformed hiker, but a veteran of a hundred battles who has been bloody for decades!

The team of fifty people quickly approached under the command of Zhang Wuyuan, and the 25 sleds, divided into eight parts, were arranged in three columns in each direction, not to block, but to reduce the attack route of the snow wolf.

"Change formation, the front is in front, jump in the back, the strange soldier is in the center, and the bow and crossbow are ready to ......" Zhang Wuxuan finished speaking, only to find that he had stood with Liu Ji, so his tone was slightly sluggish: "Lord, do this, can you make it?" ”

"You command."

Liu Ji gave the order without hesitation, and as he spoke, he made preparations for battle like his subordinates.

Under his leather robe, in addition to a standard horizontal knife, there is a spear for support in his hand, and a Tang Army-style crossbow is prepared on his back, he handed the spear to a sergeant, took out the horizontal knife and sheath, inserted it into the leather belt outside the leather robe, picked up the crossbow, clamped it upside down on his feet, and used force in his hands, with the sound of "crunching", the spring hidden in the receiver was slowly pulled, and the bronze plate machine was jacked.

Liu Ji took a bundle of crossbow arrows from a sled, this kind of featherless crossbow arrows was a bit like a spear head, the prismatic arrows were carved into a deep blood groove, and the half-meter-long arrow body was buckled into the crossbow machine, leaving only a shining arrow outside.

Datang's first long-range killing weapon, the Fuyuan crossbow that can shoot up to 300 paces away, was held in his hand like a toy, and his fingers were touched by the smooth rosewood crossbow body, Liu Ji even found a trace of the feeling of a sniper.

The crossbow has a simple aiming device called "Lookout", which is a bit like the door of a bolt-action rifle, and can be calibrated in a three-point-and-one-line manner.

This was 1,200 years ago!

Zhang Wuyuan hurriedly commanded his hands to go into battle, and he himself simply untied a long soldier from his back, which was a heavy weapon with a length of two meters, and the reason why he said this was because in the length of these two meters, about one and a half meters were blades.

Its overall shape, a bit like holding a digital camera from the head of the sword to take a sword, triangular blade tip, rich three-dimensional, oblique long and straight blade body, shining with bright white cold light, nearly half a meter long handle, tightly clamped by a circle of hemp rope, nearly forty pounds of weight, by a height of more than one meter eight Zhang Wuyuan one hand so carried so, simply to stand there, immediately give people a very impactful feeling.

Mo Dao, Datang's first melee killer, this "kill", but it really means!

At that moment, seeing his upright posture, Liu Ji suddenly understood why the snow wolf became an endangered animal.
