Soon, the four people lit torches respectively. As the flames steamed and the cold wind blew, a large number of sparks splashed out from the pine branches and spread to the surroundings.

Stimulated by the flames and the diffuse smell of charcoal fire, the surrounding wolves became calmer, and the two sides returned to a stalemate in a sense.

But everyone knows that these torches can't last long. It's not that the torches don't burn long enough, but that the wolves' fear of fire can't last long.

Because of this, everyone tightened their reins and urged the four big mules to speed up. Hu Bazhi, on the other hand, sat on the sledge at this time and pinned his torch to the other side of the sledge.

.

Immediately afterwards, he dug out another marle seed from his sack.

These so-called marlezi are not children's toys like the Sky Monkey. At least the ones in Hu Bazhi's hands are each about the size of a 40mm grenade.

Wei Ran had almost no doubt that all he had to do was throw this thing into paste, roll it once in iron sand, and finally wrap it up with waste paper and rags, and it would become almost a simple hand grenade!

"Mareizi's movement might be louder than the sound of shooting," Wei Ran couldn't help but remind him.

"I know"

As Hu Bazhi said, he had already taken out his food knife, carefully dug out the sealing mud at the end of the marlezi, pulled off a piece of birch bark and rolled it into a ball, loosely sealing the bottom.

Without pausing at all, he handed the Marleite to Wei Ran.

The latter took Mareko without pause, leaned on the torch, ignited the cannon, twisted it and threw it behind him.

"Boom!"

In an explosion that was not too loud, not even an explosion, the Mare seed turned into a large Northeastern flower, violently spitting out a large ball of flames and a miniature mushroom cloud.

As expected, this movement frightened the surrounding wolves into howling, and Sayazi ran away.

"How many more are there?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

"Nine." Hu Ba pointed his fingers and patted the sack next to his feet.

"Save your money, we'll come back soon." Wei Ran kindly reminded him.

"The wolf was afraid of the smell of gunpowder, so he didn't dare to come over for a while."

Hu Bazhi explained quite confidently that he was an experienced hunter and knew how to deal with these beasts.

For the next section of the road, the wolves that were still following behind became much quieter and more cautious. Correspondingly, Wei Ran and the others also speeded up a lot, and their bodies naturally became more and more tired - even if they stepped on

skis and being pulled along by mules.

I don't know how long it took, when the dog-skin hats of the four of them were covered with large amounts of frost due to the water vapor brought out by breathing, when Hu Bazhi threw out the last one that could only crackle flowers about half an hour ago.

After the Mareko, the sky finally became bright.

However, the wolves that had been following him all the way finally lost their patience because Hu Bazhi could no longer throw out big flowers for them to appreciate.

"Prepare!"

Wei Ran said hello, holding the 38 big cover with both hands and pointing it at the wolf pack that was about to pounce. He had already seen that this wolf pack had actually been waiting. When they reached the end of the wolf trough, they needed to

When climbing uphill, this is their hunting ground.

"Oooh-ooh!"

Accompanied by a low wolf howl coming from the direction behind them, three wolves pounced on Wei Ran at the same time!

"puff!"

Wei Ran stabbed the bayonet accurately into the chest of the wolf that was charging at his neck.

Before he could draw out his bayonet, the second wolf had already pounced on him, throwing him to the ground with a near impact, opening its bloody mouth and biting his neck!

Seeing this, Wei Ran immediately took out the anti-Japanese sword and placed it across his neck!

"clang!"

Amidst the teeth-piercing knocking sound, the wolf bit hard on the knife!

Before it could let go and scream, Wei Ran pulled the blade fiercely and pushed it forward, directly slicing the wolf's jaw open and cutting off its tongue!

Without waiting for the anti-Japanese sword to be completely drawn out, he put it back into the metal book, then gradually grasped the wolf's mouth with his hands, turned over and sat on it, and sat down on its soft but dry belly.

Go down and put your whole body weight on it.

However, before he could deal with the wolf that almost bit his neck, the third wolf pounced on the mule next to him!

Perhaps from beginning to end, larger mules were their target!

"puff!"

What Wei Ran didn't expect was that before the wolf could succeed, the big mule suddenly kicked and kicked the wolf's belly hard with a hoof, pushing it far away, almost

It spun around and hit a birch tree hard!

"Boom!"

Amidst the dull crashing sound, the accumulated snow on the birch tree rustled down. Wei Ran finally got out of his position, hugged the wolf's head with both hands, and pulled hard to break its neck.

"Bang!"

Before he could let go of the wolf's neck, a gunshot suddenly sounded from the other side of the mountain ridge!

Immediately afterwards, whether they were the startled people or the wolves who were also startled and were about to run away subconsciously, they all heard an exclamation from the woman!

"Oooh-ooh!"

After a slightly unwilling wolf howl, the wolves that had followed them all night suddenly ran away and disappeared into the vast snow.

It was only then that Wei Ran realized that his face had just been scratched with three bloody scratches by the wolf's claws.

Looking at the rest of the people, Hu Bazhi had his hands free. He was holding a ski pole in each hand, but lying at his feet was a wolf that was still twitching, with a Japanese bayonet stuck in the wolf's chest.

Zhao Jinyu and Tian Xiaohu were standing back to back at this time, each holding a Sanba Gaigai in their hands. However, judging from their appearance and the snow on their bayonets, it seemed that no wolves had just besieged them.

"Did you hear that just now?" Hu Bazhi asked in a low voice.

"I heard it"

Tian Xiaohu said that he had already blown out the oil lamp hanging on the mule, and then pulled off a piece of white patched cloth from the mule's back to cover the largest mule.

Upon seeing this, Wei Ran and the other three immediately followed suit and each found a coarse white sheet on their mules and draped it over the mules.

"It seems like a girl shouted just now," Zhao Jinyu whispered uncertainly.

"Yes"

While Wei Ran was talking, he had already tied the mule to the branch of a birch tree, and said in unison with Hu Bazhi, "You guys wait, I (I) will go take a look."

"No, just wait, I'll go take a look." Tian Xiaohu and Zhao Jinyu also said in unison.

"You two just don't go."

Wei Ran whispered, "Squad leader, you are the only one who knows the way. If something happens to you, we will have no choice but to go back."

Before Tian Xiaohu could speak, let alone Zhao Jinyu, Wei Ran continued, "Brother Zhao, you must protect the squad leader and the wounded."

After saying that, Wei Ran had already put on his goggles again, held his ski poles, and climbed to the top of the mountain ridge with Hu Bazhi one after another.

"Squad leader, what should we do?" Zhao Jinyu had already pulled out the cannon from his waist as he spoke.

Looking at Wei Ran's back worriedly, Tian Xiaohu whispered, "Bear the fire and hide."

After a short pause, Tian Xiaohu added, "Brother Zhao, if... if I am glorious..."

"What are you talking about!" Zhao Jinyu panicked.

"Listen to me"

Tian Xiaohu said, "If I am honored, I must take away the flag from my arms. The flag is there, and the first guerrilla team is there. There is also a letter. I have a letter from the captain in my arms to Commander Zhao. I must protect it."

it."

"I..."

"No one can read that letter except Commander Zhao. This is an order!" Tian Xiaohu whispered seriously.
