Chapter 812 suffered heavy losses

Qin Jia was completely enraged by the attitude of Wei Yan and the other old killers, and he didn't care why these people were so calm, whether they had already laid a trap.

Now in his consciousness, as long as the three thousand iron horsemen under his command rushed over, even if the more than 100 people on the opposite side were all beaten by iron, they would be trampled into powder by the war horses of his subordinates!

Soon, however, things began to take a direction he didn't expect.

First of all, his subordinates had just rushed out less than forty zhang away, and the subordinates at the front began to fall for some reason.

At first, it was just one or two, and seeing such a situation, Qin Jia was just blindly angry, he thought that it was because his subordinates were not skilled in equestrianism that such a problem would occur.

However, such a mistake cannot affect the progress of the entire army.

Those who are not skilled in equestrianism are dead, and they can't blame others, but can make room for the rest of their subordinates who are skilled in equestrianism.

So Qin Jia was angry, but he didn't give any other instructions.

But soon he was stunned, for he found his men falling from their horses like dumplings.

And this time Qin Jia saw it clearly, his fallen subordinates were really not because of poor equestrianism.

It was because their war horses seemed to have suddenly broken their legs, causing their subordinates to smash their men and horses heavily on the ground.

Qin Jia didn't know why those war horses had such mistakes, but he knew that once such a situation began to spread, his subordinates would definitely suffer heavy losses.

It's a pity that now his subordinates have begun to accelerate.

It was not so easy to slow down the horse for a while, and thinking of this, Qin Jia couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp.

But now is not the time to sit still, Qin Jia shouted for his subordinates to turn around and come back, and at the same time sent his own cronies to stop the cavalry group that had already picked up.

But he was still a little late, and just as he and his cronies were in motion, the cavalry that had already picked up their speed had fallen from their horses.

Those stumbling horses and the knights on them not only broke their bones and tendons, but they also passively became a stumbling horse on Wei Yan's side.

Some of the quick-reacting cavalrymen maneuvered their horses to pass over them or bypass them.

But more of them were the Jingzhou cavalry who couldn't react, and their fate was not much better than those comrades who tripped up.

In less than half a cup of effort, the original 3,000 cavalry, which was extremely powerful, lost more than 30% of their combat strength.

This is still the battle damage after those cavalry desperately stopped their horses.

If they continued to move forward, maybe they would all die on the way to the charge before they could rush in front of Wei Yan and the others.

For a while, the remaining two thousand or so Jingzhou cavalry, when they looked at Wei Yan and the others, their eyes were full of fear.

If they can't solve the question of why they fell off the horse, they will not charge again after they are killed.

At this time, Qin Jia also hurried to the side of these cavalrymen, and on the way to the horse, he had already discovered why his subordinates had suffered such heavy losses.

On the route his men had taken, the seemingly smooth road was now filled with numerous small potholes.

Although these little potholes are neither regular nor very deep, they are the culprits of the broken legs!

It turned out that after Wei Yan discovered the pursuers behind him, he immediately ordered his old killers to dig these pits.

This kind of pit doesn't need to be deep, it doesn't need to be regular, the only thing that needs to be dense is it.

Originally, Wei Yan didn't expect how much these old killers under his command would be able to dig up in such a short period of time.

All they had to do was dig a hundred and ten holes to stop the cavalry from chasing them.

But when Wei Yan didn't expect it, these old killers under his command showed abilities beyond his imagination, which made Wei Yan feel a little incredible.

After his order was given, his veteran killers automatically split up in pairs.

One of them picked up the sword in his hand and slashed it at the ground, and then the hand holding the knife pried it hard, and a standard hole was formed.

At this time, another old killer beside him would use the sand and grass that had been prepared to cover the pit with a thin layer of floating soil.

Then the two of them would immediately leave the place and go to a place where no other old killer had been, and continue to dig a new hole.

What especially made Wei Yan feel incredible was that these old killers not only dug holes quickly, but after digging enough potholes, they still had time to go to the woods on both sides of the road and set the rest of the traps.

Originally, he thought that before the pursuers arrived, it would be good for these old killers to dig up and hide about a hundred or ten traps before the pursuers arrived.

However, they actually dug out more than three hundred of them, and at the same time laid some simple traps in the dense forests on both sides of the road, which greatly exceeded Wei Yan's expectations for them.

It seems that the potential of people in a critical moment, and the impact on them from being in the army for so long, have turned these old killers into a team of thugs at this moment.

With more than 300 horse traps to build a foundation, it is not surprising that Qin Jia's subordinates lost more than 900 horses, although less than 200 of them were tripped and killed by the horse pits.

However, the chain reaction caused by these 200 cavalry was lost by nearly 700 Jingzhou cavalry.

The most of them are the unlucky ones who are tripped by the comrade who stumbles on the horse in front of them, and then trampled to death by the war horse under the crotch of the comrade behind him!

Of course, if it weren't for the current terrain restrictions here, Qin Jia's subordinates would not have suffered so many losses, but the terrain here is too many restrictions on cavalry.

The land of Jingxiang was originally crisscrossed by lakes, and the road chosen by Wei Yan and others had patches of dense forests on both sides of the road.

As a result, Qin Jia wanted to pursue them, so he could only choose to follow them all the time.

If it weren't necessary, the cavalry wouldn't take the initiative to enter the dense forest at all, even if Qin Jia wasn't a qualified general, he knew this very well.

Therefore, under the combination of several aspects, it is not surprising that Qin Jia's troops have such losses.

After Qin Jia figured out why, the evil aura on his face became even stronger at this moment.

However, now that he had regained some of his senses, they were still less than fifty zhang away from Wei Yan and the others.

If the other party continues to dig down those immoral traps on the road ahead, his subordinates do not know how much they will lose.

If the loss is too heavy, even if he goes back with Wei Yan's head in the end, his master Kuai Liang will definitely not spare him.

After all, in the south, it is not so easy to assemble a cavalry.

Thinking of this, Qin Jia couldn't help but set his eyes on the woodland on both sides!
