Seeing this, Yin'er felt something was wrong and immediately raised his bow and arrow again. This time, he hit the wolf directly, piercing its entire body.
"Go quickly."
Yinzhen stepped forward, grabbed Fifteen and Sixteen, and led them to the horses.
"Keep going along this road and don't stop no matter what you encounter."
After saying this, Yinzhen raised his hand and slapped the horse's body hard. The horse felt pain and galloped away wildly.
Fifteen and Sixteen looked back at Yinzhen standing alone in the night and shouted anxiously, "Ninth brother, it's dangerous here, what are you going to do?"
Yinzhen didn't answer. Seeing their figures disappear in the night, he hurriedly looked around. He hadn't found Jiang Ranli yet. Wolves always live in groups. The wolf howl just now was bound to attract the attention of other wolves. He had to find her quickly.
The other side.
Twenty torches made the surroundings as bright as day. The guards had long since calmed down from their initial panic, but they were still a little nervous because there were more than twenty wolves with green eyes staring at them.
General Wuha was a brave and skilled fighter. Seeing that the wolves were afraid of fire and did not dare to attack rashly, he immediately decided to attack first. They could not wait like this. The torches would burn out one day, and if reinforcements did not arrive by then, they would have no protection and could only fight with the strength of dozens of people against more than twenty agile and ferocious wolves.
"Rub the torches on the ground and shoot with bows and arrows."
General Wuha gave an order and the guards immediately carried it out. In an instant, dozens of bows and arrows were pointed at the surrounding wolves.
Jiang Ranli watched this scene and felt uneasy. She only knew that wolves were afraid of fire, but she had no experience on how to save herself in such a situation.
Accompanied by the cries of pain from the wolves, the pack became restless. General Wuha and the guards had angered them. Their hostility grew, and their fangs shone coldly in the firelight and moonlight.
“Ouch…”
After a wolf howl, several wolves pounced on the guards.
Since those guards were chosen to be in Emperor Kangxi's touring team, they were naturally not cowards. They switched the bows and arrows in their hands and shot arrows at the wolves continuously.
Jiang Ranli stood among the guards, holding the long sword given to her by General Wuha. She tried hard to think, hoping to find a good solution.
In anger, the wolves, who were originally very afraid of torches, rushed forward desperately, extinguishing several torches. Seeing this, the wolves' morale soared and they attacked faster and faster.
Don't let the torch go out!
Jiang Ranli was extremely anxious. She looked around, trying to find some branches or wood that could be ignited to rekindle the fire.
However, due to poor visibility at night and the sparse trees on the grassland, after searching for a long time, he was unable to find anything to start a fire. Looking at the green grass covered with dew under his feet, he became extremely anxious.
Those wolves were very smart. After putting out the torches, they kicked them away so far that Jiang Ranli didn't even have the chance to pick up the torches and relight them.
She looked around helplessly, seeing that there were only a few burning torches, and that the guards around her had to fight the wolves shirtless. Jiang Ranli calmed herself down and raised her sword. She wanted to defend herself and also help the guards.
A wolf discovered Jiang Ranli and recognized that she was not as strong as the guards, so it immediately attacked her. The guards were already busy with their own affairs, and no one had the energy to take care of her at this time, so they had to fight to the death.
Looking at the wolf rushing towards him, Jiang Ranli raised his long sword high, restrained the trembling in his heart, and slashed forward.
