Chapter 5: The Wolf of the Desert

There were more than 200 wolves in this group, and the black oppression surrounded the secret mission of the Western Turks, and in addition to people, more than 30 camels were also their prey. There are few flora and fauna on the edge of the desert, few herders, few natural livestock, and I don't know where so many wolves came from. These wolves are hungry wolves, but also evil wolves, with fierce eyes, not afraid of death, obviously seeing many companions fall under the arrows, or going forward and backwards to the prey in their eyes, in fact, it is their hunters rushing over - not falling under the gun, Xu Qing crossed over, there are not many bullets, must save bullets, in case of emergency, retreated to Li Xiu'er's side early, ostensibly to protect her, in fact, he wants to save bullets, and it is not too late for him to shoot when her arrows are finished.

The more they saw the bloody wolves, the more ferocious and crazy they became, and the wolves that were bleeding from the arrows could rush forward far away, and the scene was quite scary, but when they rushed to the front of the fortifications of the Western Turk Mission, it was already the end of the crossbow, and the Western Turk warriors raised their swords and fell, and the wolf's head fell to the ground.

The battle lasted only ten minutes before the wolves were injured more than half, the wolf king ordered his subordinates to attack a few wolves, these wolves ran extremely fast, as fast as lightning, when the archers aimed at the target and shot they were in a position, and when the arrows shot to the position they were just in, they were already a few zhang away, so these wolves actually dodged the bow and arrows and rushed into the defensive position of the Western Turk * Turkic Mission. The Western Turkic mission was in a state of confusion, and the archers could not shoot, so they could only fight in close combat with a few wolves that rushed to them. The rest of the wolves were greatly encouraged and swarmed in. Seeing that there were more and more wolves in the defensive circle of the well, Xu Qing was worried that the position would be lost, and eventually endanger himself and the Arab girl who was kind to him, and wanted to rush into the defensive position to support the samurai of the Arab caravan, but he was afraid that there would be wolves to break through the defense and bring fatal injuries to the Arab girls who had no one to protect him, so he felt in a dilemma, so he just hesitated slightly, and more than ten people died in the Arab caravan.

If he was rushed to him by the wolves, Xu Qing was not fully sure of protecting himself and the Arab girl even if he had a submachine gun, because the fierce wolf could rush out of the distance if he was wounded by an arrow, and it stands to reason that he could also rush out of the distance if he was shot and wounded, and he could also attack Xu Qing and the Arab girl with their fangs and claws. The situation is critical, beyond Xu Qing's imagination, at this moment Xu Qing can no longer care about saving precious bullets, pull out his hand to grab, and shoot at the several wolves that rushed into the defensive position one by one, the submachine gun has strong lethality, and it cannot be used at this moment, for fear of accidentally injuring his own people.

Xu Qing is a sharpshooter, and he can hit the target when he shoots moving targets while sitting in a car, and shooting moving targets at fixed points is a piece of cake for him. After Xu Qing shot a few wolves, the ordinary wolves that rushed into the position became the targets of the Western Turkic warriors.

More than 200 subordinates of the wolf king, many of them are his descendants and family members, two-thirds of them died in the blink of an eye, and they couldn't help but kill red eyes, if they were people, they might know the difficulties and retreat, and stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, but the wolf is an animal after all, and he can't think about it so long, the wolf king only knows revenge, it wants to avenge his people and descendants, so the wolf king let out a roar that shook people's eardrums, and rushed into the defense circle of the Arab caravan. The wolf king's body is three as big as an ordinary wolf, the size of a horse and a half, its body hair stands up like a steel needle, it looks very scary, in this wolf pack it is the absolute king, has the mating rights of all adult female wolves, has absolute authority. When several wolves were killed, an atmosphere of fear permeated the wolves, and the wolves' offensive almost came to a standstill, the wolf king took the lead in attacking his prey, and his people and descendants were in high spirits and rushed to follow the wolf king. A new wave of wolves has begun, this time more intense than before.

Xu Qing looked at the wolf king's block, listened to the wolf king's cry, watched the speed of the wolves running, and combined with its station, no wolf dared to retreat, it took the lead in rushing forward, no wolf dared not to follow, this extraordinary majesty and appeal, he knew that this wolf king was a very powerful wolf king, and he didn't dare to say that he could beat an adult African male lion, and the ability to compete with an adult African male lion was probably still there. Therefore, Xu Qing did not dare to be careless, and handed the dagger inserted in the boot to the Arab girl and used it as a temporary self-defense weapon for her. Li Xiu'er was used by the Western Turk Khan to be a pro-Tang Dynasty prince and a pro-envoy, and was usually trained to be a lady and a noblewoman. Whether Li Xiu'er can rely on this dagger to kill the wolf who dares to attack her, she has no bottom in her heart, but no matter what, this is her only self-defense weapon now, she can't grow the wolf's ambition and destroy her prestige, but she also learned a few tricks to embroider her legs when she was a child.

Xu Qing quickly walked to the front of the fortifications, aimed his submachine gun at the wolf king, and shot when the wolf king rushed into range. The wolf king was shot dozens of times, bleeding all over the ground, and finally fell to the ground and died in his unwillingness.

As soon as the wolf king died, the remaining fifty or so wolves lost their leader and scattered and fled.

The Arab girl thanked Xu Qing again and returned the dagger to Xu Qing, Xu Qing saw that she had no self-defense weapon, so she gave her the dagger for self-defense, and also took out the dagger set from her backpack and gave it to the Arab girl.

In the custom of the Western Turks, when a man gives a gift to a woman the beloved item he carries with him, it means that the man loves the woman, and if the woman accepts the gift, it means that she is willing to accept the man's love. Li Xiu'er's life has to be dedicated to the political and pro-great cause of the resurgence of the Western Turks, she can't accept Xu Qing's love, although she thinks that Xu Qing is a great hero, and she will be able to live a happy life in the future if she can marry him, but she can't be too selfish and ignore the safety of her parents. The Western Turk Khan was moody, even if Li Xiu'er's father was a royal clansman, and his life was still in the hands of the Khan, and once Li Xiu'er's father was implicated in Li Xiu'er's betrayal of the Khan, according to the customs of the Turks, the son could marry his stepmother after his father's death, and the uncle could marry a widowed sister-in-law, and Li Xiu'er's mother would definitely be included in the harem by the Khan, so Li Xiu'er did not dare to accept Xu Qing's bold show of love - she thought so, and politely rejected Xu Qing's courtship, saying: "This gift is too valuable." , you better keep yourself for self-defense. ”

Xu Qing didn't understand why this mysterious Arab girl refused her kindness at this time of crisis, and saw that her eyes were resolute, not like a pretense to excuse herself, so she had to give up.

In this great battle between humans and wolves, the Arab caravan suffered more than a dozen casualties, and the caravan of more than 200 people went through two major battles, and in the end only nineteen people remained, two of whom were seriously injured and five were lightly wounded. As a secret envoy of peace, the Arab girl was worried that she would not be able to complete the mission given to her by the Khan, and her heart was very heavy, and her face under the veil looked very solemn. After simply treating the wounded, Xu Qing asked the Arab girl to quickly lead his men to transfer, he didn't have much ammunition left, and if he encountered large-scale robbers and wolves, he would be in trouble. Li Xiu'er had decided to transfer, but was blocked by the wolves, so she immediately ordered the transfer.
