Chapter 545: Cicada
He Louzigan cautiously looked at the surrounding mountains and forests, the tall mountains stood opposite each other, and there were often birds rising and falling in the dense jungle, if it weren't for the fact that he was followed by so many soldiers who also held his breath and walked forward, He Louzigan even felt that he was out on vacation this time.
The beauty and silence of the depths of this Cangxi valley never seemed to be disturbed by others, and now He Louzigan was like a rash intruder, but it seemed that everything in this deep valley was not disturbed, and the birds and fish still followed the original trajectory of life, and the wind blew the leaves, and these small trees that only sprouted after the new spring swayed gently in the wind.
This nature contains these reckless intruders with absolute inclusiveness.
"General, it's a strange quiet, it doesn't look like anyone has been there," said one of the generals, as if he didn't want to disturb the peace that was no longer part of the red dust.
He Louzigan was about to give the order to rest for a while, when the woods not far away suddenly made a soft sound, and more than a dozen birds rose into the air, first scattered fluttering, and only after flying into the air did they gather in a queue and fly in another direction.
Realizing that something was wrong, the scouts in the army who were exploring the way in front stopped at the same time, and He Louzigan also took a light breath and looked around, and those generals also put away the relaxed look on their faces at this time, and clenched the hilt of their knives.
The frightened bird rises in the forest, indicating that there must be an enemy ambush in the woods.
"Quick, grab the mountain over there, a few of you, come with so-and-so!" He Louzi waved his hand, "Remember, you can't startle the snake, you should slow down." ”
"No!" The generals agreed in unison.
"Give me a little bit of silence!" He Louzigan's eyes widened suddenly.
Seeing these generals turn around and leave with their own soldiers and horses, He Louzigan also waved his hand and walked straight towards the forest where the bird had just risen into the air.
At this time, Li Xun took dozens of people to hide at a distance of only a hundred zhang away from He Louzigan, and watched He Louzigan walk towards this side step by step.
Most of these soldiers are not participating in battles for the first time, and the battles they have participated in before are cleaning the enemy's checkpoints and ambushes, and the emphasis is on holding their breath and settling their minds, and this kind of scene is not the first time they have experienced, even if the enemy is several times their own, they will not be confused.
Looking at the enemy who was getting closer and closer, Li Xun squinted slightly, calculated the time, and slowly clenched his fists.
A general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who walked in front screamed, stepped on the air, and fell directly into the pit, his hand subconsciously wanted to grab the tree next to him, but in the end he just waved his hand in the air in vain.
At the same time, several soldiers who were walking side by side with the building also fell into the pit at the same time, and this pit was obviously not the kind of shallow pit that would cause a collapse if one person walked on it, the grass and soil on the pit were strong enough to carry the weight of at least two or three people, and it was entirely designed by these men to capture large game in the mountains.
Therefore, when the first soldier walked on it, in fact, several people behind also stepped on the range of the pit, so more than a dozen people fell into the pit at the same time.
"The ground has fallen!" I don't know which soldier was the first to shout out in panic, and the people around him suddenly became a mess.
"What's messy, it's just a trap for the enemy!" He Louzi said in a cold voice, "Crossbowmen and sword and shield hands go up, and the generals will stabilize their positions!" ”
The generals promised in unison, urging the soldiers around them to return to the ranks, and every pair of eyes looked at the surrounding mountains and forests with some horror, they didn't know what else was waiting for them, sometimes even if there were many people on their side, when the danger was still unknown, there was still no way to stop the fear in people's hearts.
He Louzi walked quickly to the side of the traps, the bottom of these traps were buried with barbs, and the soldiers who fell were directly nailed to death, and there was no need to save them at all.
"The enemy just laid a trap, and in this way, it shows that they have no intention of staying and ambushing us," He Louzi said in a deep voice, "Let the scouts go out to explore the way, be careful, after all, there should be more mechanisms in this mountain forest." ”
Several scouts slowly walked forward, and before they could take two steps, a roar suddenly came, and several huge logs fell from the sky, directly on the top of the scouts' heads, and the logs did not stop rolling after smashing the scouts to their stomachs, but continued to roll and fall into the previous pit.
The sound of heavy wood smashing against human flesh can be heard clearly.
At this time, all the Northern Zhou soldiers subconsciously gasped, it can be imagined that if they had their companions lucky enough to survive in the pit just now, they would struggle out at this time and be pressed by this log, and if someone jumped down to collect the corpse or save people, it would be the same fate.
The enemy has even calculated this, and no longer knows whether to say it is vicious or shrewd.
Several generals also had no courage to continue moving forward at this time, and glanced at each other, and at the same time set their eyes on He Louzigan's body.
He Louzigan squinted slightly: "What, are you all afraid?" That's at the forefront! ”
As he spoke, He Louzigan stretched out his hand to push away the obstacles of the guards around him, and strode forward. And the generals also came back to their senses at this time, and hurriedly rushed to the front of He Louzigan. As the generals moved, a group of battle lords and generals also gave orders, and the scouts once again came out of the crowd.
This time they also learned their lesson and did not move forward side by side, but staggered back and forth.
It's just unexpected, and it seems that there are no other traps after this. The scout who was at the front of the way swung his sword to split the thorns in front of him, strode over to a rock, and waved his hand at the team behind him to signal safety.
However, before the army could follow, the wind suddenly sharpened, and an arrow whistled out and sank into the scout's chest. The scout shook and fell straight off the stone. The scouts behind reacted in a timely manner, but they didn't have much power to fight back in the face of the arrows fired at the same time, and the arrows had already arrived in the next moment.
At first glance, this short arrow is shot with a specially improved crossbow, which is powerful but has a short range, so you don't have to think about it to know that the enemy is nearby!
A whistle sounded, and several crossbowmen jumped down from the trees, and before the Northern Zhou crossbowmen behind could come to their senses, their figures had already disappeared into the bushes. And the Northern Zhou crossbowmen were unwilling to fire a volley at the bushes.
The arrows sank into the bushes and made a "poof" sound, but as everyone knows, most of these arrows are lost.
"Chase!" He Louzigan's face was pale, and the enemy was actually attacking the scouts who opened the way in front, but killing people in front of He Louzigan was no longer eliminating the scouts, but slapping He Louzigan in the face of Chiguoguo, of course He Louzigan couldn't bear it.
"General!" Several of the generals sensed that something was wrong.
