Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Chapter 459 Charge Out!

"Maybe Wutuhu really is a terrible navigator."

Yang Sanlang casually stuffed some dry rations into Yu Hao's mouth, temporarily silencing his incessant chatter.

He instructed his men, "Everyone, take turns resting after you finish eating." Yu Hao ate while saying dejectedly, "Wu Tu Hu wants to play hide-and-seek with us. We don't have much time to waste on him. Brother Yang, why don't I just take some men and storm in tonight and kill that beast Wu Tu Hu?"

He was an impatient man who liked to act decisively and boldly when leading troops into battle.

Yang Sanlang shook his head helplessly and comforted him, "Why are you in such a hurry? There are dozens of times more barbarians around Wutuhu than there are to us. If you rush in, you'll only be throwing your life away. Listen to me, let me think about what to do next."

Zhang Liang had already led his men to Dou's army in the north, so he wasn't in a particular hurry at the moment.

Whether Wutuhu was genuinely directionally challenged or deliberately taking a longer route south to stall them, he wasn't afraid.

If we're talking about who knows Yulin Mountain best, he might not be number one, but he's not far behind either.

Given enough time, he will surely be able to eliminate Wutuhu and his men one by one.

Yu Hao and the other deputy generals looked at each other. Seeing that everyone nodded slightly to him, he had no choice but to suppress his impulse and honestly said, "Alright then, Brother Yang, let's think of a solution together."

Yang Sanlang calmly responded, casually sat down on the ground, and began to eat his dry rations while thinking.

He was now regretting not bringing the grenade that Yan'er had given him. If he had that thing, he might have already killed Wutuhu.

What a pity, what a pity.

And there was the composite crossbow that Yan'er gave him.

At the time, he felt that since Yan'er had given him the PPK, he left the compound crossbow at the farm.

Unexpectedly, the PPK has a limited range; it can't hit anyone at a distance.

If he had a compound crossbow at hand, Wutuhu would have basically become his dead.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

He needs to find a way to force Wutuhu out of the barbarian encirclement.

If he's alone, he can shoot someone dead.

But how to force Wutuhu out is a big problem.

……

Wutuhu's army rested for an hour before setting off again, continuing until dusk.

Yang Sanlang and the others followed at a distance, neither too close nor too far. When the other party stopped to rest, they also stopped and rested on the spot.

After walking for a day and a night, Yang Sanlang still couldn't come up with a solution.

Yu Hao remembers his mouth being full of blisters, and several times he wanted to ignore everything and rush forward with a knife.

Seeing his impulsive actions, Yang Sanlang frowned and scolded him in a low voice, "Haozi, if you insist on going up to your death, I won't stop you. Go ahead."

"Yang Sanlang, I..."

Yu Hao moved his lips, but was ultimately intimidated by the cold aura emanating from Yang Sanlang and dared not make any further rash moves.

In the dead of night, it was pitch black all around, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Suddenly, a short, sharp wolf howl came from afar.

"Ouch——"

"Ouch——"

"Ouch——"

Judging from the sound, there are quite a few wolves.

Yang Sanlang suddenly woke up and jumped down from the tree branch.

Yu Hao and several other lieutenants gathered around and said nervously, "Brother Yang, there are wolves."

Yang Sanlang raised his hand to stop him from continuing, his ears perked up as he carefully tried to pinpoint the direction from which the wolf howls were coming from.

In just a short while, the howls of wolves grew louder and louder, and they were getting closer and closer to them.

Yang Sanlang's dark eyes suddenly darkened, and he said urgently to Yu Hao and the others, "Quickly, spread the word and tell everyone to climb up the big trees as much as possible. Be quick."

It was obvious that the pack of wolves had come looking for them, drawn by their human scent.

If he wasn't mistaken, it must be because the barbarians' scent was too strong that it attracted so many wolves.

Judging from the wolf howls he had just heard, there must have been at least a hundred wolves that had come looking for him.

Although they outnumbered each other, the wolves were also formidable fighters.

Yang Sanlang was not going to joke about everyone's lives.

Upon hearing this, Yu Hao and his deputy generals all became serious and quickly went back to relay Yang Sanlang's orders.

So, all five thousand of them, in the darkness, frantically climbed up the tallest tree beside them.

Yang Sanlang surveyed the surrounding area, and for those who couldn't climb trees, he grabbed their shoulders and lifted them up to the branches of a large tree.

Just as they had all hidden in the trees, the wolves, drawn by the scent of humans, jumped out of the dense forest behind them.

Suddenly, pairs of bright green wolf eyes appeared under the tree where Yang Sanlang and the others had just been hiding.

Yang Sanlang lowered his eyes to take a closer look, and his heart skipped a beat.

He roughly counted them, and there were at least two hundred wolves below!

Two hundred wolves!

If they remain foolishly waiting down there, thinking they can drive these wolves away on their own, they're likely to lose many of their brothers.

Fortunately, he got everyone to hide in the trees.

Although Yu Hao and the others didn't have the same eyesight as Yang Sanlang, they could tell from the loud noises coming from below that there were probably quite a few wolves.

So they were all both scared and relieved.

Fortunately, they all climbed up the tree; even if the wolves wanted to, they couldn't.

Especially Yu Hao, whose first reaction upon hearing the wolf howls was to rush up and fight.

Fortunately, he didn't do anything stupid this time; instead, he climbed up a tree and hid.

Otherwise, he won't even know how he died.

Some wolves noticed people in the trees, but Yang Sanlang and the others were all hiding in the high branches. They couldn't jump up the trees, so they could only howl softly from below.

Later, seeing that Yang Sanlang and the others completely ignored them, the wolves lost interest and turned around to continue following them forward.

This pack of wolves actually consists of two separate packs.

They all came here by smelling the scent of the barbarians like Wutuhu.

Two wolf packs met halfway through their journey. Considering they hadn't yet gotten any meat, the wolf alphas of the two packs met and decided to join forces and wipe out these bastards first.

Thus, Wutuhu and the other barbarians faced an attack by about two hundred wild wolves.

Wutuhu was awakened from his dream after hearing the howls of wolves.

He left the tent immediately, mounted his horse, and prepared to flee at any moment.

He was surrounded by barbarian soldiers, each holding a large sword and looking around warily.

Wutuhu was also very nervous.

There are wolves in the desert, but he had never encountered so many at once.

His face was trembling violently, and he felt a vague unease in his heart.

But this unease was quickly calmed down by the tens of thousands of soldiers around them.

Before the wolf pack could get close, he gritted his teeth and ordered, "Everyone, listen to my command! Charge out!"

The barbarian soldiers on the outermost edge, though frightened upon hearing the order, dared not disobey. They brandished their broadswords and slashed at the approaching wolves.

"Come on!"

"Kill!"
