Chapter 813: A Trap of Simple Horror
The generation of fear is related to past psychological feelings and personal experiences.
As the saying goes: "Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope." ”
Some people have been stimulated in the past, and an excitement is formed in the brain, and when they encounter the same situation again, the past experience is evoked, and a sense of fear is generated.
As Wanyan Zongwang, who is known as the most outstanding military genius of the second generation of the Jin State, he has not only won the recognition of the military and civilians of the Jin State, but also bears great pressure.
After the Yellow River was captured that day, although Wanyan Zongwang couldn't bear it, his fellow soldiers still made a ruthless move and secretly eradicated the golden soldiers who knew about it, which preserved the myth that the King of Wei was undefeated.
Now surrounded by the imperial army again, Wanyan Zongwang, who had always been calm and composed, was finally confused by fear and led his troops out of Macheng.
The Jin people concentrated all the heavy cavalry to charge forward this time, just for a way to survive, so they naturally brought a fierce temperament that was not afraid of life and death.
After rushing out of the city gate, thousands of heavy cavalry charged towards the defensive positions of the Imperial army in front like mercury, but to the surprise of the Jin people, these imperial soldiers actually jumped on the horses that seemed to have been prepared by them for a long time, and quickly fled to the east, and the tiger squat cannons were also hung on several horses with ropes and were taken away together.
Seeing that the enemy was about to flee, a part of the Jin cavalry immediately chased after them, but the small trap pit dug in advance on the ground trapped the hooves of the chasing horse, although these small pits were inconspicuous, but they were very terrible for the fast galloping war horse.
Many of the war horses were broken alive, and then with the neighing of the war horses, they fell heavily to the ground, and were immediately trampled into meat sauce by the iron horses who had no time to stop.
In order to pursue those fleeing imperial troops, hundreds of Jin cavalry were caught in the trap, and Wanyan Zongwang hurriedly signaled the others not to continue the pursuit.
Wanyan Zongwang led the remaining 20,000 Jin Guo's army to gallop north, eager to join Wanyan Zonghan outside Huangzhou.
When he left Macheng for half an hour, Wanyan Zongwang, who had calmed down, suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Wanyan Zongwang, as the second-generation god of war of the Jin Kingdom, has followed his father Wanyan Agu to fight in the east and west over the years, and has extremely rich combat experience.
He had fought against the Liao State, the Western Xia, and the Song State and the Empire, and among all the enemies, Wanyan Zongwang naturally valued the Imperial Army that made him taste defeat.
Sitting on the galloping standing horse and thinking about it carefully, the more Yan Zongwang thought about it, the more wrong it became, according to the combat ability shown by the Imperial Forest Legion, as well as the dealings he had with the imperial generals, he felt that the breakthrough just now was a little too smooth.
"Stop!" Wanyan Zong Wangyang commanded.
It will take some time for the galloping cavalry units to come to a complete stop.
When the army of tens of thousands of people slowly stopped, Wanyan Zongwang looked at the nearby terrain on his horse, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Wanyan Zongwang was originally worried that there was a trap set by the imperial army ahead, but in front of him was a large plain, an official road leading to Huangzhou, and on both sides was a dense forest overgrown with trees.
Judging from the birds hovering over the woods, there was indeed an ambush there, but Wanyan Zongwang didn't care, because the more than 20,000 people under his command were all cavalry, and this was an invincible existence in this kind of plain.
Facing an official road leading to Huangzhou and the dense forests on both sides, Wanyan Zongwang had too many directions to choose from, and if the imperial army wanted to set up an ambush in the forest, it would require a large number of manpower, which was basically impossible when the major armies of the imperial army were contained.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Imperial Imperial Forest Legion behind had not yet caught up, Wanyan Zongwang cautiously ordered: "Send a few teams of people to open the road, carefully check the road conditions ahead, whether it is the official road or the forest, you must investigate it well." You also know now that the Imperial Army is completely different from the Song Army, so you must not relax. ”
After several Jin soldiers answered, they galloped forward with several pairs of cavalry, and soon returned to the Jin soldiers who had gone to check the official road, and they found countless horse traps on the road, and the horse traps on the road were not only numerous, but also extended several miles forward.
Hearing this news, Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help but gasp, the Secret Dao Imperial Army was too cunning.
According to the idea of ordinary people, when they find that the birds and finches in the dense forest on both sides of the road are hovering on it, and there must be an ambush in the forest, they will choose the official road that is wide and unobstructed and suitable for cavalry galloping.
If Wanyan Zongwang hadn't sent someone to check, tens of thousands of cavalry would have galloped towards the official road quickly, and the consequences would have been miserable.
Before the golden soldiers who had entered the forest to investigate returned, the smoke and dust rose from the rear, and it was obvious that the Imperial Forest Legion had caught up, and now it was obviously too late to order someone to fill the countless traps.
Wanyan Zongwang hesitated for a few seconds, decided not to wait any longer, he casually pointed to the dense forest on the left, and gave the order for the whole army to advance.
In fact, Wanyan Zongwang's idea is very simple, no matter how many ambushes the imperial army has arranged in the forest, it is not a problem under the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry on his side, because under absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are useless.
More than 20,000 Jin cavalry rushed into the forest quickly, and everything was smooth at first, but when the whole army advanced three or five miles in the forest, a strange and terrifying scene appeared.
The thousands of cavalry galloping at the forefront suddenly split apart with men and horses, and cut them to pieces as if there were invisible sharp knives in the air.
The cavalry in a galloping state couldn't stop quickly at all, so there were more and more Jin State cavalry who were dismembered, and after Wan Yan Zongwang, who was frightened, hurriedly reined in the horses, his front was already covered with countless human corpses and fragments of horse corpses, and a large amount of blood also turned this woodland into a red quagmire.
Wanyan Zongwang wiped the sweat from his forehead and calmed down for a while, then he jumped off the war horse, slowly dripping with blood, and stepped on the corpse to the front to investigate carefully.
The mechanism set up by the Imperial Army was not complicated or secretive, so Wanyan Zongwang and the other Jin soldiers quickly discovered the clues.
In the dark woods, countless wires were tied between the trees, and these things were the ones that cut thousands of cavalry, men and horses, into pieces.
--------------
Zhu Tong, who thought he was going to die, never expected to be alive to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire.
Zhu Tong, who was covered in blood, fell to the ground with a guilty face and said: "Your Majesty, the last general will have the grace of the saint and fail to hold the transported materials!" ”
"You are innocent and meritorious!"
Li Nan stretched out his hands to help Zhu Tong up, and praised with true feelings: "You can lead 5,000 soldiers to fight to the death and resist the 50,000 Jin Guo Iron Cavalry, this is a great achievement!" This matter will surely spread to every corner of the empire in the future, and I will reward you very much for your contribution to the empire! ”
