"It's the cloud-piercing arrow!" Vice General Qin shouted. Fang Zilan looked at the direction of the cloud-piercing arrow and said coldly: "Where is that place?"
"Mobei Sanyuan Village." Vice General Qin answered quickly, but Fang Zilan was stunned, Sanyuan Village? I had never heard of such a village before the Battle of Gilded City.
She didn't have time to think about it, her body had already reacted first, sheathed her sword and rode her horse straight to the location where the cloud-piercing arrow was sent out, not daring to delay even a moment.
Such cloud-penetrating arrows are only used when the military situation is urgent, and can be seen within dozens of miles.
Now that they saw here, there were only two possibilities, either there was an invasion by foreigners, or it was a distress signal sent by Shangguan Min and others whose lives were in danger.
It's just that the Gilded City has been destroyed, and the Jin people, the biggest foreign enemy in the north, have been destroyed, and there will be no foreign invasion at this time.
But although Shangguan Min is young and frivolous, he is by no means a mischievous child. He fired the cloud-piercing arrow to save his life. Even if he returned to the military camp with his life, he would probably be charged with lying about military information. He would not be stupid. This point.
Fang Zilan had some concerns and rushed over without stopping. When the three of them arrived outside Sanyuan Village, they were all shocked by the sight in front of them.
She has never seen so many wolves gathered together, there are hundreds of them. Among the wolves, there are bitten off arms, legs and feet, as well as the corpses of killed wolves, with long blood trails on the ground. , spread into a scarlet patch, encompassing the wolves.
The three teenagers in the middle, surrounded by wolves, were led by Shangguan Min.
"Boss?" Vice Admiral Cao's voice was somewhat uncertain. Even if he were the boss with so many wolves, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed.
Fang Zilan's expression was solemn, and her voice became a little deeper, "I'll go rescue people first, and you two go back to bring in reinforcements."
"The cloud-piercing arrow has been fired, and the camp will send troops soon. I will be with Mr. Fang." Vice General Qin's voice reached Fang Zilan's ears, with an indescribable calmness and determination.
Fang Zilan did not look back, but just said a good word in reply, then dismounted, drew his sword, and rushed towards the wolves that were watching eagerly not far away.
When the wolves saw someone breaking in, they gradually began to change their targets and focused on Fang Zilan and the others.
After all, the three of them are people fighting for their lives on the battlefield, and they are more than enough to deal with a few wolves.
However, when facing a pack of wolves, no matter how exquisite the swordsmanship is, there is still a time when the animals can't evade the wild bites. Not long after, Fang Zilan already had three claw marks on her arms.
Seeing Shangguan Min getting closer and closer, Fang Zilan felt relieved and turned to look at Deputy General Cao and Deputy General Qin behind him. The two of them were still fighting desperately with the pack of wolves on the outside, and they were already some distance away from her. But judging from the situation, both of them were fine, which made her put her heart into her stomach and kill the wolf that rushed towards her with a backhand sword.
At the same time, the sound of piercing the air came from behind. Fang Zilan frowned slightly. Before she could pull her sword out of the wolf, there were a pack of fierce looking wolves just a few steps away, ready to attack. She couldn't avoid it. .
What is Shangguan Min doing at this time? A personal revenge? But at this time, there was really a tiger and wolf in front of her and a powerful enemy behind her. She suddenly became distraught, judged the arrow's position based on the airflow, and turned sideways.
Since there is no way to avoid it, a scratch is better than being hit by an arrow.
Fang Zilan just turned sideways when she saw a wolf just a few centimeters behind her, falling to the ground with a howl and dying. It was Shangguan Min's arrow that hit it.
She turned sideways to avoid the wolf's body, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned for a moment. It turned out to be her villain's heart.
If Shangguan Min hadn't rushed to her aid with an arrow, she would have been pounced upon by the wolves behind her. Then the wolves would attack in a pack, which would be bad.
"Watch your sides!" Shangguan Min yelled, subconsciously reaching for his quiver, only to realize that the quiver was empty, and the arrow just now was actually his last arrow.
Hearing his reminder, Fang Zilan instinctively drew her sword to block and dodge, jumped to a position a few steps in front of him, killed the two nearest wolves for him, and stood beside him.
"This is not the way to go. Are you angry?" Fang Zilan stood with a sword in hand, with such a fierce look that the two teenagers behind Shangguan Min did not dare to speak for a moment.
After a while, one of the legs was injured, and the boy who fell to the ground whispered: "I...I have..."
"Give it to me." Shangguan Min stretched out his hand and took the huozhezi handed over by the young man's trembling hand, then handed it to Fang Zilan's hand.
She took off the cloak behind her, lit one end of the cloak with a fire stick, and then quickly put the cloak on the ground and surrounded them, forming a small fire ring.
The wolves immediately did not dare to approach. The fire quickly spread and burned the bodies of the dead wolves nearby. One wolf tried to pull out the body of its companion, but when its fur was burned by the fire, it backed away and stared at Cao who was approaching. Lieutenant General and Lieutenant General Li.
Seeing this, Fang Zilan hurriedly shouted to the two of them, signaling them to come over quickly.
Vice General Cao and Vice General Li leaned toward the fire ring while killing the wolf. Fang Zilan kicked a gap in the fire ring, letting the two people in, and quickly pulled off Vice General Cao's cloak to fill the gap.
As the fire grew stronger, the wolves did not dare to step forward. They could only watch them helplessly and howl incessantly.
"Boss, how long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?" Vice General Cao looked at the wolf pack just across the fire from them with concern, thinking that he, Old Cao, was also a person who had been crawling around on the battlefield many times. Who would have expected it? This time, the boat capsized in the ditch and was surrounded by a pack of wolves. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but spit.
Vice General Qin's face didn't look very good either. Only Fang Zilan looked calm and said: "I think it will be soon, but there is something wrong with these wolves."
"Something's wrong?" Vice General Qin frowned, and Shangguan Min nodded, "Master Fang is right, there is something weird about these wolves."
"First of all, ordinary wolves will not have such a huge number. Furthermore, we are hiding in this ring of fire. It stands to reason that wolves are afraid of fire, not to mention prey that cannot be eaten. There is no point in them surrounding them like this. Chi Chi If they don’t disperse, I’m afraid there’s something behind them controlling their actions.”
Fang Zilan explained a few words calmly, then turned to look at Shangguan Min, "Did you use the cloud-piercing arrow to see that this pack of wolves was unusual?"
"That's right. Since I know this wolf pack is unusual, I must send a message back." Shangguan Min held the bow a little tighter, with a stern look on his face, "What if someone or something else is really detrimental to my capital? Even if I can't get rid of it, I will let everyone know about it. Even if no one in the army believes in me, I will still give it a try even if I risk my life."
Fang Zilan looked at Shangguan Min with a hint of approval in her eyes, "Well done."
