The sand wolves rushed towards him one after another and were knocked to the ground from time to time.
"Fire Arrow!"
Wrapping them in oilcloth, they lit a fire, and bursts of fire arrows shot up into the sky, and then they were all thrown in front of the formation. After seeing the fire arrows, the wolves that had been charging in angrily followed suit one by one.
Stop slowly.
But at this moment, several strange howls sounded in the empty desert. The wolves suddenly became ferocious again, crossing the fire crazily and continuing to rush towards the shield formation.
Xu Mu frowned. His experience in hunting wolves was not lacking. Logically speaking, as long as he was frightened a few times, these beasts would realize that they were not in a good position and would most likely retreat.
But now, it is clear that he will fight to the death.
"King Shu, someone is making a wolf whistle." At this time, Shen Zong came up and spoke.
"Wolf whistle? Does that mean these wolves are tame?"
"That's pretty much what it means."
Xu Mu narrowed his eyes and said, "Shen Zong, the area around here is full of death, but at this time, so many sand wolves appear."
Shen Zong understood at once, "What the King of Shu means is that there is really an oasis nearby?"
"It's almost certain."
Along the way, I also encountered sand wolves, but I had never seen such a large group of sand wolves. Of course, this kind of battle would not be too oppressive for the Shu soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles.
In addition to the 2,000 people from the Yudang tribe, there were more than 5,000 Chengdu Shu soldiers, almost considered Xu Mu's own troops, who followed him on many expeditions to the north and south.
The gap left by the sand wolf was quickly filled by someone else from behind, continuing to hold the leather shield to block the attacking wolves.
Xu Mu's eyes turned cold. It was a pity that he put the bow dog in the general hall to learn. If he came together, he might not be able to find a way to kill the alpha wolf.
Once the alpha wolf dies, the wolves will become fearful even if someone secretly instigates them.
"Shen Zong, is there any way to find the alpha wolf?"
"King Shu, in a pack of sand wolves like this, the alpha wolf is extremely cunning and will hide deep in the pack. Furthermore, there are no tall trees or watchtowers nearby, so it is difficult to observe clearly."
"Call General Tiger back." Xu Mu thought for a while and said.
Compared to humans, these beasts and beasts are only bloody and ferocious, without any intelligence.
"Brother Mu, what's wrong?" Si Hu, still covered in blood, ran back in a hurry.
"Do you see the sand dunes on the right?"
Si Hu bulged his eyes and looked carefully for a while before nodding quickly.
"Take two hundred people with you. Find the leader of the wolf at the top of the sand dune and kill it immediately. Remember to put on thick robes."
When entering the sand sea, Xu Mu knew the temperature difference between day and night in the desert, so he specifically ordered the seven thousand troops to wear thick robes even if they were more cumbersome.
Following Xu Mu's order, Si Hu and his men went around from behind in a short time. Although the manpower was divided, the defensive formation was not chaotic. The shield formation was not afraid of death, and the walking bows were swung and thrown.
In the camp, several guides, as well as some accompanying military doctors and leading soldiers, all picked up their weapons and stood guard around the camp.
After being unable to attack for a long time, more and more wolf corpses fell to the ground. The howling of the alpha wolf hiding in the pack became increasingly louder and shriller, vaguely accompanied by a weird wolf whistle.
On the sand dunes.
"Is the meat of the alpha wolf... delicious?" On the sand dune, Si Hu turned his head seriously and asked a captain next to him.
"General Tiger, wolf meat is so rancid! Even if it's roasted, you won't be able to eat it."
Hearing this, Si Hu's face was startled, inexplicably a little angry, and his face also became angry.
"General Tiger, I have seen the first wolf, the one with white hair on its head." The tone of a guide who was following became excited.
"It doesn't taste good, and it barks so fiercely!"
"Brothers, fight wolves with me!"
"Roar!"
Carrying the giant ax, Si Hu walked around the hill and ran towards the wolves first.
"General Tiger puts on a thick robe, be careful of his flesh being torn off!"
"I'll wear an egg, but it doesn't taste good, so I'll beat it to death!"
Si Hu didn't understand how this roundabout tactic was a clever plan for the unintelligent wolves. He only understood that these beasts were not as delicious as lambs, but they were in the way.
To be honest, you have to beat them all to death in order to relieve your hatred.
After all, there were quite a few sand wolves who spotted the two hundred Shu soldiers rushing down. They hurriedly changed their direction and rushed towards them like crazy.
Click.
Si Hu chopped off the wolf's head with an axe, and reluctantly knelt down to smell it. When he found that there was indeed a bad smell, his anger level was instantly full.
"Brothers, you can't eat these things, so you don't need to keep the whole body!"
Behind Si Hu, two hundred men holding leather shields charged in an orderly manner, roaring and raising their daggers, and kept slashing at the sand wolves blocking the way.
…
"Array-"
Seeing the flankers coming out, Xu Mu's expression turned desolate.
"Shield formation, move forward fifty steps, cooperate with the flanks, and kill the wolves together!"
"kill!"
Under the order, the originally defensive shield formation began the first round of counter-suppression, and moved forward step by step in coordination with the walking bows behind them.
The orderly stabbing at the distance of a spear did not allow the ferocious sand wolf to succeed, but instead left more wolf corpses behind.
"Cooperate with the flanks and kill the Wolf King!"
"Brothers, kill the white-haired wolf!" Si Hu raised his head and roared, his anger bursting out because he couldn't eat the barbecue.
"Follow General Tiger and fight into the pack of wolves!"
Even though some Shu soldiers were bitten to death, they did not let the advancing shield formation retreat. They followed Si Hu closely and went towards the Wolf King to kill with swords.
"How do these beasts know my formation in Xishu!"
The group of sand wolves that were still aggressive at first began to flee away from time to time. The white-haired wolf shrank down and tried to hide.
However, Si Hu kept staring at him and led his men to pursue him nonstop.
…
Behind the sand dunes not far away, several crouched figures looked coldly at everything in front of them. As they watched, one of them looked angry.
"They're all trash." The man gritted his teeth and said.
"I have already told you to drive away the wolves slowly. But you people, when you see Thief Xu, you don't care about anything."
"Master, what should we do now..."
"What else can we do? The wolves have been dispersed. Haven't you checked clearly? Thief Xu had already started hunting wolves in the grasslands outside the Great Wall!"
"Go back to the underground palace!"
"The big plan didn't come to fruition, and it was all ruined by you losers. Go to the elders and wait for death!"
"snort."
The figure turned around, used Qinggong, and headed towards the north of the desert, taking the lead to leave. The remaining people, after a period of trembling, did not dare to stay, and began to retreat to the north along with the figure.
At first, I thought that the sand wolves were extremely ferocious and there were only a thousand Shu soldiers, so they should be fine. However, I never expected that the sand wolves were directly suppressed by the Shu people.
…
"Brothers, the Wolf King's meat is also rancid!" Si Hu picked up a strong wolf corpse and stood in the sandy wind, his tone clearly filled with sadness.
