Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 141
After forcing the wolves back, the two positions began to be connected together. I counted the number of people. There were only 170 people out of the 200 people at the time of departure. Nearly 20 people were lost in an attack by the wolves.
They have only been out for a day now.
“What’s the situation, these wolves are so afraid of fire and gunshots, they still don’t retreat.”
There were a dozen or so corpses of Timberwolves left on the ground, and even the crippled wolf crawling out was shot by the soldiers.
Gordon frowned and said that he couldn’t understand at all. The firelight and gunshots were a huge shock to these wolves who had never seen firearms, but their behavior was so abnormal.
“Tie the fish oil and gunpowder together, push it out, hurry up!”
Gore directed the soldiers to move, Burton’s expression was serious and a little heavy.
So many soldiers died in one day, he had no idea how many people were left when they found El Dorado, and whether they could suppress the number and firepower of the Spaniards.
“It’s the wolf king, captain. There is a fierce wolf king in this jungle, so he can gather so many forest wolves, and they have been hungry for a day. It is the most fierce time.”
Jon said this. He once recalled that when he was in the Amazon River Basin, he was attacked by wolves.
The wolves in front of them all eat when they are fighting, which is absolutely impossible under normal circumstances.
“Is there any way to deal with it? These Timberwolves are still gathering more wolves and preparing to capture this place in one fell swoop.”
Burton said at this time, after the wolves rushed into the formation, human beings could not fight in melee combat at all. Now is not the Middle Ages, soldiers no longer wear heavy armor, they are just flesh and blood. How to fight in melee combat?
“Build a wall of fire, use fish oil and dynamite, we must not let them rush over!”
Gordon looked at the panicked sailors behind him, and ordered.
“Don’t worry about everyone, it’s just some beasts, we can repel them.”
Although he said so, Gordon still secretly pulled Gore and asked, “Can our fish oil and gunpowder last until dawn?”
“It’s difficult. There are still four hours until dawn, and in the jungle, the sun shines a little later.”
“Then there is only one other way.”
“any solution?”
“Kill the wolf king.”
……
If the wolf king dies, then no single wolf can gather so many wolves again. Without the deterrence of the wolf king, these forest wolves will flee in the gunpowder.
“Eagle Eye!”
Gordon meditated in his heart and began to look into the dark jungle.
There are at least thirty wolves hiding in the jungle. Because of the shelter of tents and various obstacles, trying to find out which one is the wolf king from these orange-red rays of light is like going to the sky.
And with the rapidity of the wolf howling, another small group of Timberwolves rushed over.
“Everyone be vigilant!”
With the sound of wolf howls coming and going in the whole mountain forest, the mental oppression of the soldiers reached the maximum, as if there were enemies in all directions.
Of course, this also means a precursor to an attack.
Of course it is good to attack when the enemy has not gathered, but no soldier can fight against a pack of wolves in the dark.
The muskets were able to harvest a little at the beginning, but when these Timberwolves retreated into the jungle, the bullets they sent were basically ingested into the trees or the soil, resulting in little harvest.
A lot of gunpowder and fish oil were pushed out, and the dismantled wood and tents formed a circle around them.
Two or three o’clock in the morning should be the coldest time, but almost every sailor was sweating and waiting.
“Ow~woooooo…”
A sharp and loud howl remembered that this was the command of the general attack.
The wolves rushed over from all directions. They opened their **** mouths, and there were even shreds of meat stuck on them. They didn’t know which corpse they devoured. The error looks like the number of wolves has at least doubled.
“The first queue is ready!”
The soldiers lined up under orders, then crouched down with their muskets raised.
“Fire!”
bang bang bang bang…
The dense gunfire recalled that in this era of queuing to be shot, the best thing is that there was no dead angle for shooting, and the soldiers’ bullets covered every corner in front of them.
The charging wolf fell to the ground in response, and the corpses were arranged in a row. In this round of shooting, more than a dozen Timberwolves fell.
The Timberwolves that rushed halfway were severely frightened, and most of them madly went back to the jungle, and those who didn’t escape also fell into the second round of firing.
Even the cavalry can’t rush through the dense spear formation, and neither can these wolves.
The first victory aroused cheers from many soldiers.
“When these wolves run away, they are no different from dogs. They can’t rush over.”
If the enemy is only at this level~www.mtlnovel.com~ there will be no surprises until dawn.
Wolves are nocturnal animals. They are accustomed to the dark night and hunt recklessly in the dark. After finding that they can’t rush over, the wolves seem to be a little quiet.
They have the simplest IQ and hunting instinct. For hard bones that cannot be directly gnawed, they choose to wait, waiting for the enemy to reveal their flaws.
The silence of the wolves made the soldiers heave a sigh of relief. Without those green eyes in the dark jungle, they could not help but feel relieved.
Only Gordon could see, the wolves were waiting there, not retreating at all.
“Continue to be vigilant, the wolves have not retreated!”
He reminded him that, of course, the soldiers did not relax their vigilance, and they continued to stand by, but how long can humans last?
The cold night wind was gradually blowing everyone in the jungle. The wolf howls from the forest were beating on the nerves of human beings all the time. The soldiers lit torches in the middle, bringing a little warmth. The attack did not come, and if Gordon hadn’t still been able to see it, they would have all retreated.
The time had reached the darkest hour before dawn, and some soldiers could not hold it any longer. They took a nap with their spears in their arms. Even Gordon felt sleepy, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
Gordon shook his head and forced Burton to speak: “This is a tactic of exhaustion, they want to drag us down.”
“Of course I know Gordon, they’re pinning all their hopes on this moment, but why don’t we, if they don’t attack, it’ll be dawn, and gunpowder and fish oil will get us through this last period of time. .”
At this time, Burton was also forcibly keeping his spirits. If it is not expected, the final attack should be coming.
