Chapter 122: Bloodstained North of the City
What appeared in front of Lu Xun were two huge pits.
The length and width of the pit are ten zhang each, and the depth is three zhang,
If you look closely, the so-called two traps are made up of four medium-sized traps each.
Each pit was covered with fragile sticks of wood, covered with mud and thatch.
If a small number of people walk up, they really won't fall.
But Song Qian launched a general attack, with a large number of people,
Those wooden bars couldn't hold on anymore and cracked one after another, leaving most of Song Qian's forwards fall into the pit!
At the bottom of the pit are densely lined with spikes made of sharpened wood.
There was only a road along the straight line in front of the gate, and if you sloped slightly to the sides, you would immediately fall into the pit.
Song Qian faced the bow and crossbow of Liu Chanjun at the gate of the city, and subconsciously dodged to both sides, just falling into the enemy's calculations-
The soldiers of the Wu army who led in were immediately pierced by wooden thorns, and they did not die for a while, and the terrible screams were heart-rending, and people couldn't stop trembling when they heard it.
When Song Qian fell, he just suppressed a few soldiers who were charging together,
His thigh had been pierced, but he had not yet been mortally wounded.
Rao is tenacity, and after suffering such a heavy blow, he still couldn't help screaming loudly and calling for Lu Xun to help.
It was not that the Wu army had not encountered a trap in the previous battles,
But it was all in the field to stop the advance of the horses,
The means by which the pit was dug in front of the city......
Anyway, Lu Xun is seeing it for the first time.
Isn't this the method used by those Shanyue bandits?
Ding Li smiled, the soldiers of the heart and the prince were really clever,
When Liu Chan arranged to build a camp outside the city before, Yang Qun, who knew Liu Chan's intentions best, realized that the prince was familiar with the bandits' tactics and thought that the bandits' tactics were also useful.
Digging traps, Ding Li is familiar with it.
This is a tried and tested method by the bandits in Yizhou to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the official army.
It's a pity that this large-scale trap can only be used once, and it will delay entry and exit, so it is not used in the southern city.
After Ding Feng arrived, Ding Li, who was not willing to lag behind, also took the initiative to put forward this idea to everyone.
He suggested building complex fortifications in the south of the city, narrowing the spread of the Wu army, and destroying the invaluable infantry of the Wu army with elite troops.
This bamboo-and-wood fortification is afraid of fire, and if it encounters a fire, it is unimaginable.
But Shizi just begged for a fire extinguisher from Haotian God, which could be used in this battle.
Soochow saw that it could not break through the southern city, and the east gate was not suitable for a large-scale landing, so it could only find a way from the north.
When the time comes, a large number of traps will be dug in the north, which will be enough to offset the enemy's offensive momentum and make the Wu army, which is blindly charging, fall on his heels.
It's just that Ding Li's goal at that time was only to annihilate the front of the Wu army, and he never dreamed that a big fish would be hooked so soon!
"Bo Yan save me, Bo Yan save me!"
Song Qian's hoarse and poignant voice made people shudder,
With such a tragic scene, everyone in the Wu army was terrified, and Lu Xun quickly ran to the edge of the pit and shouted:
"Zihe hold on, I'm here to save you!"
Save?
I'm afraid that Lu Xun is thinking too much.
Ding Li laughed cruelly, and the crossbowmen who followed him out of the city began to shoot arrows into the pit,
Song Qian, who was still struggling just now, was shot by more than a dozen arrows in a moment, and his flesh and blood were blurred immediately.
Lu Xun's eyes were cracked, he pulled out the ring head knife and wanted to kill Ding Li from the only way facing the city gate, but his subordinates grabbed him and cried:
"I can't go, the general can't go!"
Such a narrow road, at most three people at a time,
Lu Xun rushed like this and sent to death no different,
Seeing his friend being shot by random arrows, Lu Xun let out a terrible roar in despair, pointed at Ding Li and scolded:
"Thief, I won't kill you, I swear not to be a man!"
Ding Li looked at Lu Xun's sad and indignant appearance, and danced excitedly.
He laughed arrogantly:
"Er, this horseman, remember the name of Nayon!
I am Ding Li, the general of Jiangzhou, and you want to send him to death, even if you come here. β
Seeing that Wu Junjun's heart was in turmoil, he beckoned and said:
"These are also good men among Wu dogs,
Let them be violently corpsed here, I can't bear it,
Sons, do it, give these Wu dogs a ride! β
Ding Li's bandit-turned-soldiers have been like dogs for a long time after Congliang, and they can't bear it anymore.
Listening to Ding Li's ridicule, they all laughed,
They smirked and waved their shovels, scattering layers of dirt down and soon covering those Wu soldiers who had not died for a while.
Many of those soldiers were Lu Xun's fellow villagers, and when they saw that Ding Li was going to bury them alive, they immediately let them go and cried, begging for mercy while desperately begging Lu Xun to save them.
The terrible screams and begs for mercy were particularly pleasant to Ding Li's ears, and he also waved the sapper shovel and laughed loudly while filling in the soil:
"Wu Gou, come here!"
With such a big pit in front of him, even if Lu Xun has the ability to reach the sky, he has to fill the pit first.
Lu Xun felt his blood on his head,
Good brother Song Qian was brutalized by the enemy for himself, and many fellow villagers were buried alive by the enemy in front of him.
"Fill the pit!"
He shouted,
The soldiers of the Wu army under his command stood on the spot.
If you go and save it now, maybe you can save a few people alive,
But if you fill the pit, you really have to bury all your comrades alive with your own hands!
Looking at those comrades-in-arms who were still wailing and struggling, Lu Xun also fell into hesitation for a while.
"Hahaha, don't you dare to come over!"
Ding Li over there saw that Lu Xun didn't dare to move for a while, and he was even more arrogant.
He smirked:
"Good boy, if you don't come, you're going to kill someoneβ
Come on, bring Zhou Tai to me! β
Ding Li's subordinates laughed and said "Wei", and in a moment, he dragged the shirtless Zhou Tai out of the city.
Zhou Tai has been recuperating in the city quite well these days, and although Liu Chan is not polite to him, he does not shout and kill.
He was sleeping in a daze today, when he suddenly heard the screams of the battle outside, and knew that the Wu army was launching a fierce attack on the mouth of the oil river.
Although he knew that this was the right way to war, he was still a little unhappy when he thought that his comrades-in-arms actually didn't care about their own lives or deaths.
He was listening carefully to the movement outside, when suddenly a few wolf-like warriors jumped in and dragged him out.
Zhou Tai's face was on the ground, dragged back and forth like a dead dog, where had he suffered these humiliations in his life, and as soon as he stopped, he roared in a hoarse voice:
"Hugh wants to insult me, kill me with a knife!"
Ding Li kicked Zhou Tai and said with a cruel smile:
"It's easy to want to die!"
He grabbed Zhou Tai's hair, forced Zhou Tai to raise his head, put a knife on Zhou Tai's body, and shouted:
"Wu Gou over there, listen up, from now on, you need to kowtow to the general together,
If not, I will cut the flesh off the thief's body!" β
Lu Xun has never met such a scoundrel thief in his life,
The bandits and bandits he had met before were scattered in front of his army.
But today, I was so humiliated by this person!
How could there be such a mad thief in Liu Chanjun's army, and still use such disgusting methods?
Ding Li was a thief not long ago,
His subordinates seemed to have found the pleasure of gathering the Wuthering Mountains at that time, laughing wildly and scolding,
Although the scolding is not as brilliant as Deng Tong's, it is better than a lot of people, and the angry Lu Xun is angry.
"General Zhou, I'm sorry!"
Lu Xun finally made up his mind and said:
"Fill in the earth, kill the thief!"
"Okay, it's a man!" Ding Li stabbed Zhou Tai's arm with a cruel smile, and slashed off a piece of meat from it.
Where has Zhou Tai been insulted by such a thief in his life, he desperately suppressed the screams and scolded Ding Li for being shameless.
Wu Jun's face turned pale, and Lu Xun also knew that even if he rushed forward like this, he would just give away a life in vain.
He choked and walked forward slowly, directing his men to fill in the dirt without stopping,
When those Wu soldiers saw that Lu Xun actually buried himself alive, they scolded Lu Xun for being incompetent in despair, and Lu Xun burst into tears, but there was nothing he could do.
He held the wooden shield and bowed his head forward, and finally saw Song Qian who fell in the pit and was covered in arrows.
Song Qian was covered in blood, his eyes widened, as if he was asking Lu Xun why he didn't save him,
Looking at Song Qian's tragic situation, Lu Xun remembered his previous maintenance of himself, and couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his chest.
The sky swirled, and he fell to the ground with a thud,
If it weren't for the soldiers around him who quickly helped him up, he would have almost fallen into the pit.
Ding Li was still torturing Zhou Tai, and when he saw Lu Xun actually falling, he couldn't help but be overjoyed:
"Hurry up, Wu Dog is down, Wu Dog is down,
Kill me, kill me! β
