Chapter 163: Wild Wolves (Part 2)
Just as everyone was discussing who should send to lead the group of wild wolves, Mu Ye volunteered to stand up and said, "Let me leave this task of attracting wolves. I will lead the wolves into the valley. By the way, you also prepare ropes for me in the valley. Once the wolves enter the valley, they will immediately block their retreat."
Seeing Mu Ye taking the initiative to ask to lure the wolf pack, everyone stopped saying anything. Mu Junfeng said with some concern: "Oye, let's leave this task of lureing the wolf to others. Anyway, there are many prisoners in the camp, just let them lure the wolf, so why do you need to take action yourself?"
"Uncle Second, since I proposed this plan, I am certain to introduce those wild wolves into the valley. Don't worry about me, I will pay attention to my safety."
Seeing that Mu Ye insisted on going out to attract the wolf, Mu Junfeng nodded and had to agree to his request. At the same time, he also sent two elite troops from the battalions to guard the valley.
When Mu Ye rode out of the fortress on a fast horse after everything was ready. He did not go directly to meet the group of wild wolves, but began to blow the horn when he was still several miles away from the group of wild wolves.
As the sound of the horn sounded, soon a group of wolves appeared in Mu Ye's sight. The group of wolves had more than a thousand, and the number of wolves following them was still increasing.
After Mu Ye looked at the distance from the wolves, he turned his horse's head and ran towards the valley. At the same time, his horn sounded never stopped. After the wild wolves discovered Mu Ye's figure, their pursuit speed became faster.
When Mu Ye was running into the valley, the wild wolf behind him also chased him closer and closer. When Mu Ye came to the cliff, he saw a rope placed vertically there. He ran forward quickly and grabbed the rope and started climbing. At this moment, Duan Wenjie and others who were guarding the mountain quickly pulled up the rope after seeing Mu Ye grab the rope, and pulled him up.
Just as Mu Ye reached the top of the mountain, a large number of wild wolves rushed into the valley, and Mu Ye's fast horse instantly became the mouth of the wild wolves. After watching his horse being swallowed by the wild wolves, Mu Ye said to Duan Wenjie: "Battleman Commander Duan, tell our people to be prepared. As long as all the wolves enter the valley, they will immediately block their retreat. I want these wild wolves to bury my fast horse."
"Yes, Mr. Ye, I'll continue the order." Duan Wenjie unknowingly treated Mu Ye as his boss. At the same time, he also realized that Mu Junfeng would pass the position of command to Mu Ye sooner or later, so he became more and more polite to Mu Ye.
As there were more and more wolves in the valley, I heard a rumbling sound outside the valley. Mu Ye knew that this was the way out of the soldiers outside the valley using huge rocks to block the wolves. After he looked at the wild wolves coldly, he said to the soldiers around him: "Send the order and prepare to shoot rockets into the valley. I don't think we can eat roasted wolf meat in the future, hahaha."
At this moment, more than two thousand big green wolves had flowed into the valley. The size of these big green wolves was almost as big as a Northland horse. This was the largest wolf pack Mu Ye had ever seen. If you were surrounded by these big green wolves, even if you were a master with thousands of enemies, you would not want to rush out of the valley.
At this time, Mu Ye and the others had already covered the valley with a layer of weeds and dry firewood. After receiving Mu Ye's order, the soldiers immediately shot the fire-driven rockets into the valley. Soon, a raging fire broke out in the entire valley, and the wild wolves in the valley immediately turned into fireballs and started to wail in the valley.
Looking at the fireballs in the valley, Mu Ye, Duan Wenjie and others laughed happily. The fire burned for more than two hours before it gradually extinguished. At this moment, the valley was full of burning corpses of wild wolves. After Mu Ye looked at the dead big green wolves, he led the soldiers back to the frozen defense line.
This time they wiped out more than 2,000 wild wolves in total, but there were still thousands of wild wolves left in the Hujian Gorge Mountains. What to do with these wild wolves really hurt Mu Ye and the others' brains.
Since seeing the size of these big green wolves, Mu Ye has never had the idea of going to fight head-on. If cavalrymen were sent to fight, those war horses would definitely get weak when they saw the big green wolves. This is also the nature of animals.
If infantry soldiers were sent to fight, even if they beat the big green wolves, the legion would not be able to afford the losses. Just when Mu Ye and the others were a little worried, Qiao Shengting came up with a countermeasure.
He stroked his beard and said, "The attack power of the wolf pack is very terrifying. They are different from humans. As long as the wolf king issues an attack order, the wild wolf will rush forward regardless of life and death. At the same time, the wolf animal also has certain wisdom, especially the wolf king knows better how to allocate its own tribe to eliminate the enemy, so we must fight wits and courage with these wolves so that we can defeat them.
I have already come up with an idea. When Mr. Ye led the wolves into the valley, he also gave me a lot of inspiration, so my countermeasure was to fight against the wolves. Of course, our attack was not to fight against the wolves face to face, but to fight against them. We must first step out of this frozen line of defense to fight against them, and at the same time, we must choose a favorable terrain to fight. According to the characteristics of the terrain, we will build a line of defense on the battlefield. In this way, we can attack and retreat or defend, and we will definitely defeat these wild wolves."
When Qiao Shengting said this, everyone immediately understood what he meant. That is to say, a new line of defense outside the pass and introduce the wild wolves into the battlefield they designed, so that there will be enough defense to eliminate them. Just like the abandoned villages, they hide in the village and fight with the wild wolves, so that they can avoid the consumption of personnel and also bring great blows to the wolves.
However, the most critical point in Qiao Shengting's strategy is that the supply in the defense line cannot be cut off, otherwise they will be trapped in the mountain village like abandoned people. Therefore, the terrain proposed by Qiao Shengting plays a key role.
The choice of terrain in this place should be not far from the fortress, otherwise it will be easy to be cut off by the wolves. At the same time, this line of defense must have certain security guarantees, so as to ensure that the soldiers' losses should not be too large.
However, it is really hard to find a terrain like this. After Mu Junfeng took out a map outside the pass, he pointed to an icon and said, "This is Daqingshan, just west of our fortress. There was once a post of ours, but it was later captured by the abandoned people. Now the abandoned people have retreated to the Hujian Gorge Mountains, so it has become a ruin. If we build this place into a simple defense zone and fight with the wolves, then this is the best battlefield. At the same time, this post is only twenty miles away from our fortress. There is a steep cliff in the southeast of the post, and our supplies can be transported from under this cliff to the outpost. So as long as a sling is installed on the cliff, we will have a source of resources to transport them up continuously, so that we don't have to worry about the lack of supplies when fighting."
After hearing Mu Junfeng's words, everyone nodded in agreement, and only Mu Ye looked at the icon quietly without saying a word. At this time, Mu Junfeng looked at Mu Ye and said, "Oye, do you have any different opinions? Why don't you say it and let us also take a closer look."
"Uncle Second, the location of this outpost is good, but the wolves are nearly two hundred miles away from us. How can we lead them here? Also, this long-distance raid is not like that of the valley. Even if the wolves are led, this person should not be able to come back. Our horses may not be able to outperform so many wild wolves. Once there is any accident on the road, or if the horse stumbles, it will be completely over."
