How to beat wolves?

I have experience in fighting dogs,  but never fighting wolves.

To fight a dog is easy.  Most of the time you won't have a weapon at hand.   The dogs would bark and follow you.   You tried to walk slowly away.   But the dogs will follow.  They were more dangerous in night time,  or in silent streets.   I was followed a few minutes,   The teeths were almost on my trouser. I suddenly turn around,   the dogs were scared and turned away.

However, wolves won't be scarced.

What if you were surrounded by wolves?

I read from an old story:   A man was surrounded by wolves,   his friend came with a horse to rescue him.  The horse was running fast and the man drew him on the horseback and speed away.

What if you have no friends to help?

And what if you are alone?

You need to have wisdom and bavery to survive.

And you need to be well prepared.

You can't wait until things happen.

note 

Here are short stories from Strange Tales from a Chinese old book (Liaozhai Zhiyi) about butchers and wolves.

 (The Greedy Wolf)

A butcher carrying leftover meat in a hook came across a wolf following him. Fearing for his life, he hung the meat on a tree branch and showed the wolf his empty basket. The wolf left. The next morning, the butcher returned to find the wolf dead—it had leaped for the meat, got caught on the hook, and was hanging from the branch.

 (The Farmer’s Trick)

A butcher hid in a small shed when wolves tried to attack. A wolf reached a claw through a gap. The butcher grabbed it, cut a small slit in the skin, and blew air into it like he would a pig’s carcass. The wolf swelled up like an ox and couldn’t escape.
