Chapter 23: Exploring the Way
The fire of the forest fire is fierce. If this place is a plain, with the help of Ma Li Meng Tian, he really has the idea of taking advantage www.biquge.info of his unpreparedness and galloping through the sea of fire to attack at night.
It's a pity that the Golden Fire Cavalry is cavalry. Although it is the elite of the Qin army, there are many vines here, and the jungle is rich and thick, and there is no condition for a horse to run at all. So, he had no choice but to abandon this tempting idea.
The fire burned overnight, and then gradually dissipated because there was no combustible. Early the next morning, leaving a small group of soldiers to guard the camp and the war horses, the elites of the Golden Fire Cavalry left the war horses one by one, holding halberds and following behind the main general Meng Tian.
The forest after the fire smelled of fire, which did not smell good, and even had a very slight toxicity. The boots of the Golden Fire Cavalry stepped on the ash-covered ground, and they stepped forward step by step.
The fire had just been extinguished, and there was still residual heat in the ashes. Everywhere you look, the trees turn into charred charcoal. Many of the charred branches and trunks fell, leaving only the still stout, but grayish-white half-sections in their place.
After walking for several hours, they passed through the forest that had been burned by the flames, and came to the isolation zone that the disciples of the Mo family had created overnight the previous night.
"It seems that the Mo family still has capable people."
Meng Tian looked at the forest in front of him that had been smoked for a night, and now the leaf veins were haggard and the branches were yellow, but after all, he still preserved the forest and exclaimed.
Being able to quickly think of a solution after they set fire to the mountain is worthy of the Mo family, which has been inherited for more than 300 years. It's just that the scale of the fire is enough to burn it now.
Although the Forest of the Python Tiger is full of traps and traps, it is only on the periphery. The inner forest is already the patrol and daily life of the Mo family disciples, and there are often Mo family disciples haunting, so it is impossible to arrange so many mechanisms here as before.
Therefore, the density of traps in this is much lower than that of the outer part of the Python Forest. Be careful not to cause them any trouble.
"That being said, you should be careful but you should be careful."
Turning to look at the robe under his command, Meng Tian thought in his heart, his right hand clenched the long sword at his waist, and his left hand waved his big hand.
"Watch your own feet, beware of the Mo family's traps, golden fire cavalry, forward!"
This time, the Golden Fire Cavalry did not respond to Meng Tian's order as loudly as they did last night. Instead, one by one, they were silent and looked down at the ground, their swords, knives, spears and spears clenched, ready to stop the triggered traps for themselves or their comrades.
After marching forward for more than a hundred zhang, a total of twelve traps were triggered by the Golden Fire Cavalry, but only two were seriously injured and five were slightly injured.
One person could not stop the giant tree that bounced off the ground, and two people, three of them, would stand up and bear the blow together; The bamboo spear flying from the shadows was blocked by the halberd in the hands of himself and his comrades-in-arms; The two who were seriously injured were unlucky enough to be shot by a swift and penetrating crossbow bolt, piercing through the hard armor on their bodies.
Except for the muffled snort at the beginning, the injured man was silent afterwards. Even if there is cold sweat on his forehead and his body spasms, he will not cry out for pain if he grits his teeth.
"Keep going!"
Allowing the lightly wounded to return to the camp with the seriously wounded did not affect the morale of the rest. On the contrary, seeing their comrades injured by this insidious trap, these elites of the Qin State were more focused and more careful in their actions while being angry.
"Commander Gao, what should I do? It seems that they will soon actually enter the confines of the Organ City. ”
Standing on a facility similar to an observatory, a Mo family disciple said to Gao Yuanli beside him with some concern. Although he was not afraid at this time, it had not been long since the Qin State unified the Six Kingdoms, and the Qin Army, which had defeated the armies of the Six Kingdoms in a row, was famous and should not be underestimated.
"Then let them come."
Gao gradually narrowed a pair of narrow eyes, looking at the blue pupils of the Golden Fire Cavalry in the distance, revealing a cold killing intent. The long brown hair behind him was scattered in the wind, swaying mercilessly in the wind along with the long sleeves of the wide plain robe,
"I'll let them know that it's easy to enter the city, but it's hard to get out!"
……
"Stop!"
When everyone was about to pass through the Python and Tiger Forest, Meng Tian raised his hand to stop them from moving on.
There was no hidden space between the Forest of the Anaconda and the Trap City, and if there were crossbowmen hiding in the attic on the opposite side, they would be the best targets once they got out.
Meng Tian, who was proficient in war, naturally would not make such a low-level mistake, and the dense jungle in the Python Tiger's Forest was the most suitable cover for them at this time. Through the gaps between the treetops, Meng Tian wandered around, cautiously observing.
As if they didn't know they were coming, the pavilion opposite was empty, and there was no one. It is not ruled out that there is no effective defense facilities here, so it has been abandoned by the Mo family, but in the battlefield, everything is based on caution.
"Ah Wah, Ah Kin. With your shields in hand, you two go ahead and scout. ”
"Whoa!"
With Meng Tian's order, two men holding a one-person-high bronze shield, the shield wrapped in at least seven layers of cooked cowhide, walked out of the queue. They covered each other very skillfully, cautiously approaching the attic, which was empty, but had an inexplicable dangerous aura.
To everyone's surprise, the two of them were not attacked when they reached a distance of less than three feet from the attic. But then, they took another step and disappeared from everyone's eyes in an instant.
"Ahh
"Ah Hua, Ah Jian!"
Where they had walked, a huge hollow suddenly appeared. The two of them in heavy armor couldn't control their bodies at all, and they all fell.
Although the pit is not large, several sharp wooden stakes are fixed at the bottom. Ah Hua was lucky, he was directly pierced through the neck by a wooden stake, and died without snorting. Ah Kin was pierced in the right chest, and after several screams and weak struggles, there was no sound after a while.
"Let's withdraw!"
After marking the road when they came, Meng Tian looked deeply at it as if it was a monster with a big mouth open, just waiting for them to walk into the pavilion and turn away.
It was getting late and the sun was about to set. This time, in addition to the Golden Fire Cavalry, there were also master disciples of the Yin and Yang Family, as well as about a thousand ordinary Qin soldiers accompanying him.
In addition, although the revenge of the public loss was captured by the Mo family, there are other people in the public loss family, and they will come soon under the conscription of the Qin Emperor. At that time, it was the best time to launch an attack on the Mojia Organ City.
