There are some sparse fruit trees and poplars around, and occasionally a few lone stones more than a meter high. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under a fruit tree, Yan Yuan watched the advance of the Mongols, and scolded in his mouth: "These Mongols are too cunning, such an advance will only lose some pack horses at most, and the lethality of the tunnel to the Tartars is greatly reduced." ”

Zhang Wuji said: "It's okay, I can delay their ability to advance, it can be seen from the behavior of the vanguard officer, this Wanfu Chang is very cautious in governing the army, and he should know me quite well about Mingjiao, and these more than 100 pack horses are specially designed to deal with your Houtu Banner." ”

Under the fruit tree, there were three people standing impressively, namely Zhang Wuji, Wei Yixiao, and Yan Yuan. The three of them were not relieved, and ran down the mountain to investigate the Mongolian military situation, but Yan Yuan saw a very frustrating scene.

Zhang Wuji said: "Bat King, you are familiar with the Western Regions, do you know who the leader of this 10,000-person team is?" ”

Wei Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "Sect Master, my subordinates don't know, this army is very mysterious and has no banner. ”

Zhang Wuji said: "Forget it, no matter what he is, he is either a black worker or a big tiger, no matter which one it is, we have to find a way to keep him, if this battle can be won, it will definitely inspire the world." ”

Yan Yuan said in a loud voice: "That's, that's, the Tartar Imperial Court is hitting us harder and harder, and the brothers urgently need a big victory to inspire us. ”

The Bat King said: "What the sect leader said is, but after all, this is a Mongolian 10,000-strong team, even if it stands there for us to kill, it also needs to be killed for a while, and if you want to keep them, you need to plan well." ”

Zhang Wuji smiled and said: "What the Bat King said is, let's go back first, this army is very cautious and will not leave us a chance to sneak attack, so let's prepare for a tough battle." Today is bright, so let's go back and have a good rest. As he was talking, he saw a hundred zhang ahead of the front team of pack horses on the march road suddenly a tragic neighing sound came, enough more than 30 pack horses stepped on the thin planks and fell into the pit, this is a side length of three zhang and one zhang deep soil pit, the bottom of the pit is also inserted in countless patchwork wooden sticks, the sharp tip of the stick is impressively upward.

The horses fell into the pit and were immediately pierced by sticks, and for a moment there was a constant scream. Zhang Wuji and the three of them looked at it, turned around and swaggered away.

Bagen's cold eyes had long noticed the three people standing under the fruit tree, but he calmly stopped his subordinates' idea of attacking, which was not his task. It is his job to open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, remove all obstacles, and open a safe passage for the army.

Wherever the army went, no enemy was spared, and the three men from afar were just a little longer alive. Thinking like this, the pack horse in front of him fell into the pit.

The wrangler quickly reined in the panicked herd and drove them aside, and Bargan drove the horses to the edge of the pit, and when he saw the more than thirty pack horses that had died tragically, he shouted, "Come on, fill this pit at once." ”

There were many stones of different sizes nearby, and immediately a Mongolian soldier stepped forward to fill the pit with a boulder, and Bagen rode on his horse and looked at the mountain in front of him, and thought disdainfully: "Is this what you can do with the thick earth flag?" It's just a bunch of burrowing rats. ”

He didn't know that there were still a lot of attack methods of Houtu Banner, of course, the most important thing was to hit the enemy through the tunnel to make a surprise attack, but this time the enemy became the Mongol army, so he mainly defended passively and did not take the initiative to attack.

But even so, Houtu Banner still carefully prepared a big gift for the Mongol army, and this trap was just the first greeting gift.

The soldiers quickly filled the pit, and this time instead of arranging for pack horses to explore the way, Bagan ordered a group of soldiers to march forward in a line with spears in hand, and slammed their spears into the ground every half step. After all, pack horses are also wealth, and it is good not to lose them.

The soldiers walked forward slowly, they had already walked ten steps, all of them were hard roads, Bagen shook his head, and he couldn't look down on the thick soil flag, he was so lazy to dig a pit, did he think that a pit could stop the Mongolian iron horse? It's naïve.

Just thinking about it, there was a sound of machine springs starting from the front, and many years of combat experience reminded him in time, a sense of crisis immediately hit his heart, and he didn't have time to think about it, Bagan habitually rolled over and hid under the horse's belly, only to hear a sound, this is the sound of arrows shooting into the flesh, it is really familiar, the wail of the soldiers and the neighing of the horses immediately came, Bagen saw the horses that kept falling down beside him under the horse's belly, and hated it in his heart, but he couldn't figure out where these arrows came from.

Suddenly, feeling that the body of the horse that has accompanied him for many years shook, as if he was unstable on his feet, Bagan immediately pushed the horse's belly with both hands, and his body broke away and stood firmly on the ground, only to see that within a radius of thirty meters, more than 100 war horses fell, forming a small vacuum area, and the soldiers behind him tried their best to control the war horses under their crotches, but fortunately, the horse team just stepped on small broken steps to advance, if the horse team was in the middle of running, it would not be able to stop at all when it encountered this situation, Bagan, who broke away from the war horse, was likely to be trampled into a pulp by the crazy herd of war horses.

Ignoring the terrible groans around him, Bargan walked to his mount, and an arrow pierced through the horse's neck, revealing only a small tail three inches long, which showed the strength of the strength, and reached out, it was a sharp arrow about a foot long, and the arrow glistened with cold light.

He walked forward with arrows in his hand, and none of the soldiers in the row of soldiers who had just explored the path were injured, but there were dense bullet holes on the ground in front of them, and the range was more than ten feet.

This is a mechanism carefully prepared by the thick soil flag, ten meters away from the first pit, a mechanism board about ten meters long and about one foot wide, and there is a large arrow mechanism in the range of ten zhang in front of it, these organs are buried more than a foot deep underground, launched through a bamboo tube in the soil, and the arrow is only an inch from the ground, and it can't be found without looking closely.

The soldiers in the front row of pathfinders stabbed the machine plate with their spears, and 5,000 arrows immediately pierced through the earth layer at a 45-degree angle under the action of the spring and shot into the air at a full 20 meters before swooping down from the sky, covering exactly 50 meters away.

Bagan immediately ordered someone to clean up the mechanism board, and looking at this delicate setting, a wave of anger rose from his heart. At this time, the captain of the guard ran over and said, "Commander Bagen, one hundred and sixty horses have been lost, forty-six soldiers have been killed and seventy-two wounded. ”
