Chapter 92: Fierce Battle
"Get up and prepare for battle!"
"Get up and prepare for battle!"
"The wolves are coming!"
The entire camp was in chaos, with swords drawn and weapons on alert, as if facing a great enemy. While organizing the defense, Reheman cursed: "How unlucky I am to encounter a pack of wolves!"
Teams crossing the desert are very afraid of wolves. Because in the Gobi Desert, the terrain is relatively flat and there is almost no shelter, it is difficult to resist wolves. In addition, in such places, wolves are already the largest animals and have few natural enemies. Once hungry wolves form a group, they are extremely destructive and ferocious. Often, some small caravans disappear in the Gobi Desert before they even enter the desert, becoming a pile of bones.
"Light the torches!"
Reheman was worried and gave orders, hoping that the fire could bring some fear to the wolves.
However , what made people despair was that at this time, the howling of wolves could be heard all around the camp, followed by the light of fire, and their huge and cold shadows and their cold and bloodthirsty eyes could be seen.
There are at least a hundred of them!
Everyone gasped in shock.
"Sir, Miss Zheng, please follow Changfeng!"
Qin Changfeng also drew his sword as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
"You guys, don't run around, Lao San, keep an eye on them!"
Reheman saw that Liu Zheng and others were about to move, and suddenly shouted.
The others also looked disgusted and started to curse. What? Take it easy, this pack of wolves is not easy to deal with. Once someone is injured and emits a bloody smell, it will easily attract more hungry wolves. At that time, the people in the entire camp will probably have a hard time escaping.
After all, in this camp, Liu Zheng and his companions looked the weakest.
Liu Zheng didn't waste any words. After two lifetimes as a human, this was the first time he was so close to a real wild wolf. He felt excited amidst his fear.
“Ouch…”
Wolves are used to destroying people mentally first, and then trying to kill them with one blow. So these 100 wolves were not in a hurry to launch an attack, but just circled around the camp. If they didn't move, the people here would naturally not dare to move.
The situation was tense to a certain extent.
Reheman was an experienced man, and he shouted in a voice that everyone in the room could hear: "Everyone, look carefully, where is the Wolf King!"
Among these 100 wild wolves, there must be a leader who is responsible for commanding the battle. Therefore, in this case, if the wolf king can be killed, the wolves will retreat. But everyone knows this truth, so how can it be so easy to find the wolf king hiding in a hidden place?
When the two sides had been confronting each other for half an hour, the powerful mental pressure caused a young man in the camel caravan who was crossing the desert for the first time to collapse on the spot. He screamed and pounced on the nearest wolf with a long knife in his hand.
“No!”
"return!"
Everyone shouted, but it was too late. Although the young man was quite skilled, the wild wolf was even more agile and easily dodged his attack. Then, seven or eight hungry wolves pounced on him at the same time. How could the young man be a match for the hungry wolves? He was quickly torn to pieces by the wolf pack.
For a moment, the smell of blood filled the air.
The darkness of night makes people even more frightened.
"kill!"
When Reheman saw the situation, blood was everywhere and confrontation was useless, so he decided to take the initiative to attack. He shouted loudly and the people in the camel caravan responded loudly and rushed in one direction at the same time.
“Ouch!”
The wolves suddenly pounced.
A war between the two sides is about to break out.
The fighting power of one hundred wolves was terrifying, and the camel caravan was immediately put on the defensive.
…
Yinzhou Prefecture.
Jiang Xuan was furious, and he slammed the table and said angrily: "Mr. Qingyang, the young master has been in the west for a few days, why haven't we moved yet? Kezhou is just 5,000 palace soldiers. Give me Jiang Xuan 2,000 elite soldiers, and we will definitely take Kezhou!"
He was very angry at this time.
It was originally agreed that they would capture Kezhou, and that would be the time for Jiang Xuan to become famous. Even if he was just a left general and followed Qingyang Suo, it didn't matter. He wanted everyone to see how powerful he was! Who knew that two days had passed, and Qingyang Suo hadn't made any moves to deploy troops, which made Jiang Xuan anxious?
Good-for-nothing!
He was extremely disappointed with Qingyang Suo and thought that he was just a person seeking fame and reputation.
Although the other members of the Yinzhou Army did not say it as directly as Jiang Xuan, most of them thought so.
Facing the doubts of Jiang Xuan and the others, Qingyang Shuo laughed: "Who said we were going to conquer the state?"
Everyone was surprised.
Jiang Xuan sneered, "Hahahaha, so Mr. Qingyang just wants to come to your house to eat? You've already said that, but now you don't admit it!"
Qingyang Suo smiled slightly: "Kezhou is under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou. If we attack it, wouldn't that be the same as rebelling?"
Jiang Xuan said angrily: "So what?"
Qingyang Suo said: "When he attacks, Yinzhou will counterattack, and Liangzhou Prefecture will be helpless!"
Everyone laughed.
Wait for him to attack?
How dare a mere Kezhou touch the powerful Yinzhou?
"Three days will do!"
Qingyang Suo said confidently.
At the same time, he issued three military orders in succession.
First, the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce, in the name of brewing wine, bought up a large amount of grain and fodder in Kezhou. They bought as much as they could, no matter what the price was!
Second, food and fodder were stored on the border between Yinyang and Kezhou.
Third, he ordered several scouts from Jiang Xuan's special forces team to go to Kezhou to spread rumors and cause panic.
Everyone was shocked.
Jiang Xuan was also stunned.
Qingyang Suo said: "The Marquis of Kezhou County, Mou Chengxiang, is a double-faced person, easily influenced by others, illiterate, but arrogant. Once Kezhou is in chaos, he will definitely do what Liangzhou wants and disturb Yinzhou. That's when we will send out our troops!"
Jiang Xuan was stunned when he heard this. Although he knew that this plan was brilliant, he snorted coldly: "Conspiracies and tricks, how can they be the style of a great man!"
After saying this, he left in a hurry and went downstairs to give orders.
Qingyang Suo smiled faintly.
If Liu Zheng were here, he would definitely exclaim, this Qingyang Suo is indeed not an ordinary talent, this move uses the power of capital! Nowadays, Yinyang is rich and has no shortage of money. In comparison, although Kezhou is a prefecture, it may not be able to compare with the gold and silver reserves of the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce. In this era, food and grass are the most deadly things. In other words, food and grass are the foundation of Kezhou.
Qingyang Shuo now wanted to use money to buy out Kezhou and cause panic among the "stock investors". When the situation became unmanageable, Kezhou would have no choice but to fight to the death!
So, everything happened without any signs.
It was not uncommon for caravans to appear in Kezhou City to buy grain. Therefore, the incident had not had a major impact in the past two days.
Starting from the third day, things began to change out of control.
…
"Young Master, be careful!"
The wolves were completely aroused by the smell of blood. In this Gobi Desert, the terrain they were most familiar with, there was simply nothing that could stop them!
On the other hand, although the camel caravan was tall and strong, and had good skills, it was still a bit difficult for one person to face a wolf. It usually took three or four people to barely deal with a wolf. In this way, the lack of manpower became the biggest problem here.
"ah!"
From time to time, people were attacked and killed by wolves, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger. People's fear also spread endlessly.
"You beasts!"
Over there, a Loulan caravan, which had 20 people, was killed by wolves because of its camping location, which was closest to the hill. Only seven or eight people were left! The remaining people had lost their minds when they saw their closest comrades and brothers died tragically on the spot.
"Pay attention to the formation, pay attention!"
Reheman was getting anxious.
At this time, the most worrying thing is people's irrationality! Because the wolf pack still has the wolf king to organize it, if this side is in chaos first, it is obvious who will be in a passive position.
However, this camel caravan was originally a temporary team. How could everyone guarantee to obey Rehman's orders?
"Sir, the situation is not good!"
Qin Changfeng fought and retreated, and spat. In such a short time, he had killed five wild wolves with his own hands, and his body was covered with the blood of those beasts. But although Qin Changfeng was brave, after all, two fists could not beat four hands. The current situation was that tonight was going to be bad!
Liu Zheng asked: "Can we find the Wolf King?"
It looks like this is the most promising chance for a comeback right now!
Qin Changfeng said: "Young Master, be careful. I will go and try!"
He shouted loudly, holding a long knife, and rushed into the wolf pack. Reheman was stunned, and only then did he know that there was such a skilled martial artist in this team. Facing these hungry wolves who advanced and retreated in moderation, Qin Changfeng was like a man in an empty space, and with his knife in hand, the hungry wolves could not get close to him at all!
Everyone was stunned.
"Lord Reheman, I think we should gather everyone together and surround the center! Stand back to back and protect each other to prevent the wolves from taking advantage!"
Just then, Liu Zheng found Reheman and made a proposal.
Reheman looked at Liu Zheng in surprise. What he said was right. Only in this way could they ensure the manpower. At this moment, the people in the camel caravan were standing in very scattered positions. They focused on protecting the goods of their own caravan, so they gave the wolves an opportunity to attack. If they stood in a circle with their backs to each other and helped each other, they could resist the wild wolves!
Rehman immediately gave orders. At the beginning , the people in the camel caravan still cherished their goods, but when they saw so many people died around them, they no longer cared about the goods. Their lives were more important!
They immediately obeyed Reheman and formed a circle. This time, the wolves were cautious and could not find an opportunity to attack. They could only continue to look at the group of people with sinister eyes and growl in anger.
In this way, Qin Changfeng had already run a hundred steps and came to a small hill over there. Under the moon, a white giant wolf was already in sight. Qin Changfeng shouted happily: "Beast, give me your life!"
This man is a man of great martial arts skills and courage. He completely ignores the threats from the wolves around him and only has the Wolf King in his eyes.
He ran swiftly, and wherever the long sword pointed, it emitted cold light under the moonlight.
"Die!"
Qin Changfeng shouted angrily.
The giant wolf kept staring at Qin Changfeng who was rushing towards it with a sinister look, without any intention of retreating. It was frightening to watch, and Liu Zheng couldn't help but shout, "Changfeng, be careful!"
However, at this moment.
A wolf howl suddenly sounded from farther away.
The giant white wolf also raised its head and howled.
The wolves finally began to retreat.
Reheman's face changed drastically: "Drive away the werewolf!"
