Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 121 Deep in the Pit

Before the rusty guard in the cyan robe was swallowed by the wind and snow, Zhan Ting led his subordinates into the military camp of the Lower Tang Dynasty outside Jinchang City, and joined forces with the Han Dao Guard. Even after the initial panic stage, the current Lower Tang defenders are still weak in combat, the Han Dao Guard shuttles back and forth in the barracks as if they are in a no-man's land, and the Lower Tang Army is throwing off their armor and fleeing in the direction of Jinchang City. After fighting for a while, Fan Lu, who was arrogant before, had no choice but to join the retreat when he saw that the general trend was gone.

Even if after several deductions, seizing the opportunity and the location are in harmony with others, it is expected that the probability of winning this raid battle will be very high, but in reality, Xia Junmao's rapid defeat still makes Xia Junmao a little puzzled. "Is there a deception in this? Want to lure our army deeper? But what goes deep is not the hinterland of the Lower Tang Dynasty, on the opposite side is Jinchang City, once the gods kill and ride out of the city to besiege, they will definitely be besieged. Or was the battle supposed to be so smooth? Xia Junmao looked up at Jinchangcheng in the distance, shook his head, and then ordered: "Make a bigger movement, so that the defenders of Jinchangcheng can find us!" ”

After receiving the order from the commander, the shouting of the Han Dao Guard became even louder, and there was no need to bluff so much when the raid reached this juncture, but from the start of the battle to the defeat of the Tang Dynasty, Jin Changcheng never moved. With the addition of the War Thunder Department, there were more than 30,000 men and horses in the battle formation of the Lower Tang Military Camp, and the ground under their feet began to shake slightly, and the men and horses rushed to attack, and almost all of them did not feel the vibration from the ground, except for one person.

"Shaoning!" Duan Lang grabbed Xuan Shaoning, "Do you feel the ground shaking under your feet?" ”

"It's caused by the galloping horses, right?"

"No, this feeling is not the same as the surface formation caused by the running of the war horse, you jump off the horse!" Duan Lang pulled Xuan Shaoning down from the horse and knelt on the ground, he put aside the little snow left, pressed his palm on it, closed his eyes and felt it quietly for a while. Xuan Shaoning naturally understood that Duan Lang would not be like this for no reason, when he was in the academy before, Duan Lang's skills were more profound than others, and he was very praised by Helian Ping.

"It's like a stage built on a wooden stake, people are jumping on the stage, the supporting stakes start to loosen, and so the whole stage moans before it collapses!" Duan Lang's face was as incredulous as Xuan Shaoning. What they stand on is a whole land, where is the stage compared? If it is said that the bottom of this piece of military camp is supported by pillars, no one will believe it, even if it is, where did the Tang army get the manpower and time to complete such a project?

"I still find it incredible, but I also have doubts." Xuan Shaoning stood up and said, "I always feel that the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army is not like this at all. Although we were a cavalry surprise attack, the resistance we encountered was much weaker than expected, and you can see the direction of their retreat! Duan Lang also looked into the distance, "In the distance is Jinchang City, once the defenders in the city find us, they will definitely go out of the city to meet the enemy, and form an encirclement with us to completely wipe out these Lower Tang Army!" ”

"That's true!" After Duan Lang was reminded, he also began to doubt, "We are so big a move, it is impossible for Jinchang City not to notice it, so far I still haven't seen any movement in the city, is it ........" He suddenly thought of a possibility, "Jinchang City has been captured, and the Xia Tang Army deliberately set up an ambush to lead us into the ambush circle?" ”

"The Divine Killing Cavalry is the strongest single soldier combat ability among the four armies, and Jinchang City is a city built to prevent trouble in the Tang Dynasty, and it will not be captured so easily, not to mention that it is not mentioned in the battle report received!" Xuan Shaoning was extremely reluctant to believe Duan Lang's reasoning, but he couldn't come up with any facts to convince himself.

"Let's quickly report this situation to the commander!" As soon as Duan Lang turned over and got on his horse, the vibration he felt suddenly became violent, so violent that almost everyone in the barracks felt it.

It was only at this time that Xuan Shaoning finally realized the feeling described by Duan Lang, the ground became shaky, and all the people and things on this ground began to stand unsteadily, and as the shaking became more and more violent, and finally in a muffled snort that resounded through the sky, the entire Tang military camp sank into a pit with a depth of one zhang from the ground. At this moment, if someone stands at the head of Jinchang City and looks out, they can find that the entire barracks area has formed a very obvious dividing line with the surrounding land, and the land that has sunk down is neatly cut and edged, which is obviously artificial.

The collapsed ground is not deep, but basically all the Liang Dynasty troops and some of the Lower Tang soldiers who did not have time to escape fell into the pit, the broken ground and the collapsed earth and stones made the people who fell into it unable to move for a while, unfortunately they were directly stoned to death by the earth and stones, and those who were lucky to survive were stuck in the cracks; Some were crushed under the rocks and desperately cried for help; Some broke their limbs and wailed, and for a time, the neighing of war horses and the howls of people filled the bottom of the pit.

At the moment when the ground collapsed, Xuan Shaoning and Duan Lang were about to get on the horse, so they leaned on the horse's belly, and the tent of the collapsed camp pierced the horse's belly, and the war horse was resisted for them, and the position of the two of them happened to be the edge of the barracks, and the shock caused by the collapse was not as violent as the center. Xuan Shaoning was scratched on his left arm by the tent wood that pierced the horse's belly, he covered the bleeding wound with his hand, and before he could stand up, he began to call out to Duan Lang.

"I'm here ......" A foot away from Xuan Shaoning, Duan Lang had already stood up, and after he staggered and walked a few steps, he began to run towards Xuan Shaoning.

"Shaoning, how are you injured?"

"It's okay, it's not serious, I don't think you're in any big deal?"

"I'm also fatal, I escaped a catastrophe when I fell, I just moved, and my arms and legs are all there!"

Seeing Duan Lang's dusty but intact appearance, Xuan Shaoning felt a lot of comfort, let out a long breath, and slowly stood up with Duan Lang's support. After standing up, he realized how bad the situation was: the casualties of the robes were counted, and the sound of wailing filled his ears, including many soldiers of the Tang Army, looking up at the ground where he was standing before, it was already a foot high from him, this height is not much of an obstacle in normal times, but at this time, it will take a little more time to climb up if he is injured.

"It turns out that Xia Tang has already done an ambush and deliberately lured us into the urn!" Xuan Shaoning was in a hurry, the ground collapse was undoubtedly a stumbling block for the Tang people, it was not clear how they did it at the moment, and there was no time to think about how they did it, this was definitely only part of their plan. "They must have a backhand, we must find the commander as soon as possible and get out of here!"

Before the words fell, the ground was already surrounded by the Tang Dynasty army, Fan Yu stood at the forefront with his hands on his waist, and said with a contemptuous expression: "Do you really think I escaped?" What is called retreat as advance, it seems that you Liang Dynasty people don't understand, let you have a good experience today, and you can be regarded as dead! Arrows! ”

The soldiers trapped at the bottom of the pit looked up and saw that in addition to the gray sky, there was a group of Lower Tang troops with bows, and the number of Lower Tang troops around the pit was too many, and no one had the heart to care about where they came from, what people cared about was those feathered arrows that flashed with blue light, densely packed into all the space that could be reached by sight.
