Chapter 246: The Battle of the Suburbs (12)

Could it be that these traps still have eyes, and they can't recognize people and things?

With such a question, Guan Yu once again looked at the trap behind him.

After a closer look, it turned out that between these two traps, there was a "safe passage" that had not collapsed.

The "passage" was about two or three meters long and five or six meters wide, and it was sandwiched right between two traps.

Another striking sign of the area is the small haystack in the center.

Although Guan Yu had seen the haystack before, he didn't pay attention to it at the time, just thinking that it was just an ordinary haystack.

But now it seems that this is definitely not an ordinary decoration, most of it is a mark left by the other party.

After discovering this safe passage, Guan Yu quickly remembered that Hua Xing and the others had passed through this place with a haystack before.

After that, Tan Bochang, Guan Yu and the others, because they were in the center of the long snake formation, and they also happened to pass through both sides of the haystack, so they did not fall into the trap.

As for the other soldiers, they weren't so lucky.

Since everyone was lined up facing the enemy, except for a few soldiers who followed Guan Yu's side, in front of the others, there was no safe passage, and almost everyone was at risk of falling into the trap.

Therefore, shortly after the horn of the charge was blown, the army triggered the trap, and about 300 people fell into the trap at the same time.

As the so-called feng shui rotates, after this battle, Guan Yu's army, which was still complacent just now, is only more than 100 people left who can still fight at this moment.

Among the remaining more than 100 people, there is also the team of Tan Bochang who was sent to explore the path just now.

I thought I had taken on an unlucky errand, but now it seems that the more than 70 people who set off in advance have become the safest group, and it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and there have been no casualties so far.

After counting the number of people, Guan Yu's face was extremely ugly.

In addition to anger and hatred, his eyes were full of remorse.

Because long before the charge, he guessed that the other party was likely to have set a trap, and specially sent someone to test the road.

But unfortunately, his temptation was not comprehensive, and he failed to discover the trap in advance, and finally fell into the other party's tricks.

This feels a bit like knowing that the other party is here to cheat money, but in the end the other party cheats the money, which is really sad and regretful.

If he could be given another chance, he would not be as careless as before.

"Xiao'er surnamed Hua, you actually use such insidious means, it's really, really despicable!" Due to the extreme unhappiness in his heart, Guan Yu scolded on the spot in anger.

"Am I despicable? General Guan, it's too unfair for you to say that, right? Huaxing, who had the chance to win, countered with a faint smile

"You ignored the agreement and secretly set up an ambush, I didn't say anything, you actually said that I dug a trap and was despicable? It's ridiculous! In order to resist the invasion of the enemy, our army set up traps, trenches or something under the city gate, why not? Is there no fortification in your city? ”

Huaxing's words are true, these trench traps, in fact, were dug a long time ago, and they are part of the city defense system designed by Zhang Liao.

On weekdays, when there is no war, there are no spikes in the ditch. And there will be special personnel to stand guard to prevent villagers from entering.

It was not until more than 20 days ago, when the enemy army was discovered, that Hua Xing ordered people to fill the trench with spikes and withdraw the guards. Only a few haystacks remained, marking the "safe passage".

These traps built by the head of Yongcun Village are very hidden, and if you don't take a closer look, it is difficult to find that someone has touched the ground.

In addition, it has been snowing continuously in the past few days, and the thick snow has also helped Huaxing a lot.

Although the trap was right under the noses of Guan Yu and the others, none of them noticed it before they set off, and they were all fooled.

Seeing that there were only 100 people left in his own army, Guan Yu was extremely annoyed, but he did not give up hope, but set his eyes on Zhang Fei and Zhao's troops on the left and right, about 100 meters away.

Previously, when they dispersed the pursuit of the Red Banner generals, they divided their forces equally, and each of them brought 500 soldiers.

Now, although Guan Yu's troops have lost most of their strength, as long as Zhang Fei and Zhao Hujun can return safely, they still have more than 1,000 soldiers available, and they still have the strength to fight with Huaxing.

Unexpectedly, just as Guan Yu turned his head to look at the left and right sides, there was a roaring sound of collapse on both sides almost at the same time.

Looking at it, just like what Guan Yu had just experienced, the troops led by Zhang Fei and Zhao Hujun also fell into each other's traps.

In just a few seconds, most of the troops were lost, and even the two main generals fell into the trap together.

But fortunately, the two commanders were on horseback, and they did not worry about their lives after falling, but only suffered some minor injuries.

Seeing that the righteous brother fell directly into the trap, Guan Yu's heart immediately tightened, and he shouted "third brother" with a worried face!

Although he also saw that Zhao Hujun had fallen into the trap, in Guan Yu's eyes, it must be his righteous brother who was more important, so he ran towards Zhang Fei without hesitation as soon as his legs were clamped.

It wasn't until he arrived at the perimeter of the trap and saw that Zhang Fei in the pit only bruised his arm and back when he fell, that Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and rescued Zhang Fei from the pit.

Due to the stabbing death of the war horse, in order to unify the action, Zhang Fei could only share the mount with his second brother.

Guan Yu was already tall and big, and his weight was not light, but now there was a half-catty and eighty-tael Zhang Fei, Guan Yu's white horse mount instantly felt Alexander!

It is particularly difficult to walk, and it is obviously not as "light" as before.

"Second brother, it's all my fault this time! I was careless, alas, I didn't expect the other party to set up a trap and lose so many troops......" As soon as I got on horseback, I heard Zhang Fei say apologetically.

"Alas! You can't be blamed for everything. After a sigh, he listened to Guan Yu's words of comfort

"Although Brother Wei thought of it, didn't he also fall for it?"

Since Zhang Fei was too focused on chasing the enemy army, he didn't know what was going on on Guan Yu's side.

After learning the news that Guan Yu was also in the scheme, Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he said with surprise on his face

"Huh? Even you, second brother, have you been tricked? Is the loss serious? ”

"Alas! Nearly eighty percent of the soldiers fell into the trap, and only about a hundred remained. ”

Hearing that Guan Yu's situation was not much different from his own, Zhang Fei's eyes instantly crossed a touch of regret. After a heartfelt sigh, I heard him ask again

"What happened to Zhao Bai's face? Didn't he have five hundred soldiers? ”

"He's also been tricked, and it's not much better......"

Hearing that all three of his troops had been hit hard, Zhang Fei felt that he had been hit on the head, and he was stunned in place with an incredible expression.
