Chapter 32: Take Turns

If it is an ordinary trap, the person who steps in first will fall, and this is the end, but now this trap is completely different from the past, the trap runs back, and the soldiers and horses of the court fall one after another and fall into the big pit. As a result, four or five thousand people fell into it, and it is conceivable that the pit is so wide and the project is huge, if it is not for the people who occupy the land and how many people have such a real thing to build. It's not enough to have people and strength, you also have to have the ability to build.

Speaking of this skill, but technically speaking, I am afraid that it will only be three days and three nights, and it can only be said that such a giant pit array began in the Xia and Shang periods, and it was still useful in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but then few people used it. One is that the project is huge, and the other is that the trap is fixed and cannot be moved, in case the enemy knows, this giant pit array will be useless.

The reason why Lu Bing was able to build this giant pit array was because there were many construction experts in the Inhuman Pavilion, plus tomb robbers, combined with the ancient art of war books he had obtained before, to work together to create such a trap, it was really amazing.

It seems that this is as simple as digging a pit and supporting a stick, but in fact it is far from being as easy as imagined, and it still takes a certain amount of experience to get a trap to catch a bird and catch a rabbit, let alone fall into so many soldiers and horses. Speaking of the subtleties, in a nutshell, we can roughly divide it into two aspects: above ground and underground.

Let's talk about the underground first, the underground is a hole dug first, then supported by nearly a thousand pieces of wood, covered with planks, and then arranged with sharp blades or something. Not to mention how difficult and expensive it is to be able to prepare so much suitable wood, that is to say, it is a matter of knowledge to keep the above from hearing that the bottom is empty. This has to withstand the trampling of thousands of troops, and it is even more difficult. Of course, this is not a big deal. As long as some skilled craftsmen and builders come to help, it is not a problem, but the most powerful thing is not here, but in the pillars and mechanisms. As long as the operator controls it properly, which pillar will fall, the ground will immediately sink and trap people in the hole. Normally, this kind of trap mechanism falls down when there is a heavy object, but it is not here, but it is artificially manipulated and stimulated. Therefore, it was able to sink from the front row of the imperial court soldiers and horses to the back row, and it was precisely because of this unexpected situation that the imperial court soldiers and horses were in chaos.

On the ground, it's not light at all. They are all veterans who march and fight. No matter how stupid you are, you can find traces of new soil on the ground, so you have to make it so good that people can't find it. Even the trees and grass on top of the trap have to be alive. Otherwise, others will find that there is no vegetation on it, or it is all dead things, and this will also be a leak. These are not a problem in front of the capable people of the Inhuman Pavilion.

However, the so-called traps. It is that you must not know the enemy in order to fall into the trap. It's a surprise, so confidentiality is also a top priority. Lu Bing designed such a trap this time, it can be said that he took a big risk, of course, he also understood that once he used this trick, it would not be a matter of capturing alive, but he had to kill thousands of soldiers, but at present, for the sake of the family and the subordinates around him, he had to do the same. The confidentiality of this information has been done very well. That's why the soldiers and horses of the imperial court went astray and fell directly into it.

The soldiers and horses of the court fell into the trap, and countless casualties were imposed. The vanguard of the imperial court that narrowly escaped was only a few and less than a thousand people, and was quickly annihilated by the Lu family army who killed a horse gun. The follow-up troops hurriedly retreated, and they couldn't understand what was going on with this trap for a while, but they knew the terrible thing about it, and hurriedly retreated. As for the large number of people and horses in the pit, they didn't dare to care. The generals of the imperial court had an intuition, that is, even sending scouts would not work, in fact, they were right, as long as Lu Bing's people did not let the trap start the trap, the trap could not be activated, and the scouts were useless at all.

More than 4,000 people died in the huge pits, and the rest were wailing, and some were unscathed, but only disgraced or slightly injured, trying to crawl out. But in an instant, the rain of arrows arrived, and ten thousand arrows were overwhelming, and the arrows were all covered with fire.

Suddenly, the fire rose, the wolf smoke was billowing, there was not only fire oil but also a large amount of wood in the pit, the wood rose to the fire, the wind blew again, the fire was rolling into the sky, and the heat wave was rolling and even the wailing could not be heard.

The fire burned for two hours, and the wind became less and more intense, and when the flames went down, the pit was scorched black, and the bones of the soldiers of the court were turned to ashes. Before he could fight with Lu Jiajun face to face with gongs and drums, he lost four or five thousand soldiers and horses, and suddenly the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were frightened and shuddered. No one in the Lu family army was damaged, and no one was accidentally injured when they even ran and retreated to lure the enemy, and it was really a well-trained elite division.

It is conceivable that if there is no such trap, then on the hard bar, under the catch and kill, even if the Lu family army is powerful, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have such a single undamaged record, not to mention that these four or five thousand corpses are placed here, even if it is not hot now, it will cause a plague, and they are busy fighting who has time to collect the corpses, only burning is the only way. This confrontation and killing the enemy plus disposing of the corpse was done in one go, fortunately the Lu family army, and the sad Qi Jingtong Department.

The pit was killed and burned, and the Lu family army began to build fortifications behind the huge pit, neither slowly nor slowly. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court did not dare to go further, not only because they were afraid that there would be such a huge pit formation, but also because if they wanted to attack, they had to pass through the huge pit, and the residual temperature here had not disappeared. And once you enter, it will inevitably leak in front of Lu Jiajun, and Lu Jiajun will take advantage of the height difference to dive down, but I am afraid that I will have to fill this big pit with dead corpses before I can rush through.

There was a smell of burnt paste in the air, which was difficult to dissipate for a long time, and it was also difficult to dissipate the fear in the hearts of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court on this road. There was no attack on either side, and there was no sound.

This was the first imperial army to attack, and now it ended in a big defeat, but it was by no means the last big defeat, nor was it the worst group of people. At least there were many people who died when they fell to the bottom of the pit, and even if they didn't die were burned to death by this supposedly furnace-like heat, it was only a matter of a moment, and there was no pain, but the imperial army in other directions was not so lucky.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The imperial army in the north was harmed by poisonous weeds, and the wind rose and the poisonous powder flew. Lu Jiajun calculated the direction of the wind and lifted the cover, and the poisonous powder rose with the wind, and suddenly the Northern Army cried for his father and mother, and was in great pain. The pollen starts to fester. Eventually, people will die of blistering and itching, and the time of death will be a full three days, during which they will be tortured, but they will not die of pain alive, because this poison has a strong heart-strengthening effect. Therefore, it can be said that you can't survive and die, once people are contaminated with this poisonous weed pollen, they will react immediately, and they will kill themselves if they can't stand it. Naturally, poisonous weed pollen does not ask others to help. It was planted by Lu Bing in the name of the Inhuman Pavilion and the florists, and it grew extremely fast, and Lu Jiajun also had an antidote. I am not afraid of this poison at all.

The two soldiers and horses in the northeast border direction fought a battle with the Lu family's army, although the Lu family army had casualties, but the right to train the soldiers. Compared with the battle with Qi Jingtong some time ago, those battles can be described as trivial. Lu Jiajun's various never-before-seen weapons were also used. And in the face of foreign soldiers and horses. They are not merciful, and the one who fights is called a hearty.

All kinds of never-before-seen formations, those unbelievable weapons are enough to shock people's hearts, and some people have begun to generate public opinion in the army that Lu Jiajun is so brave with divine help, and there will be so many treasures. The more and more fierce it spreads under the clouds, and it also links the battle in Shandong some time ago, which is even more miraculous.

Lu Bing had unique air supremacy, using hot air balloons and detailed geographical maps to throw gunpowder packets from above, and any fortifications of the imperial army and horses would not work. Even the formation can't be formed, and people will take turns bombing after a while. The generals and soldiers were miserable.

This is all good, although the weapons are incredible, those fire-breathing weapons dozens of rounds of gunpowder falling from the sky, even if people can't understand it, they still let people know how they died, but Lu Nan's gang is even more miserable, it's just dead.

Lunan has a total of two large armies marching, one infantry and one water division, the infantry from the Yimeng mountain into the wonderful, with a surprise attack, mountain combat is good. The naval division is preparing to enter the Weishan Lake area steadily, garrisoning along the lake to form an unbreakable defensive position, galloping to the rear supply as a breakthrough for southwest Lu to enter Shandong, gathering troops and preparing to plot the entire territory of Shandong. Advance can be attacked, retreated, defended, and once there is a change, it can also be defended to provide assistance to the attacking armies from other sides.

Qi Jingtong's plan was not wrong, in terms of talents, the command ability of soldiers and generals, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are less than half of the Lu family's army, it is not that the heroes go out of Shandong, and there is no one in the world, but that the imperial court is not as arbitrary as Lu Bing, and there are too many factions and many talents are refrigerated and suppressed. In terms of weapons, Lu Bing is blessed with a lot of research and development as far as he is concerned, so in terms of weaponry, technology, and strategy, the imperial court is still inferior to Lu Jiajun.

The utilization rate of materials and livestock and the mobility of the imperial court cannot be compared with the Lu Jiajun, and the people are also familiar with the terrain and are fighting on their own territory.

The only advantage of the imperial court is that there are many people, and if you want to fight, you have to rely on the tactics of crowds, stretching and expanding the battle line, so that Lu Bing can't take care of it left and right, and it's difficult to deal with it. The point is to go all out and attack at the same time, which the enemy cannot echo from the beginning to the end. So, this is the current offensive.

Indeed, it may be enough to deal with ordinary people, even if the artillery fire is sharp and properly commanded, it can't resist the posture of hungry tigers pounceing on wolves, such as the current Lunan direction, Qi Shuhai has not many soldiers and horses in his hands, and if he faces the enemy head-on, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold it at all. Lu Bing arranged most of the soldiers and horses in Qi Jingtong's place, and the four-way army on the west side and the three-way army in the north with the most tenacious willpower did not send a single soldier to the south because of the local garrison.

Of course, Lu Bing would not harm Qi Shuhai, that was his brother-in-law, and the reason why this was the case was his own clever plan. There are many large traps around Shandong, but the cost of them is very high, and Lu Bing cherishes the lives of his soldiers and wants to achieve a complete victory, so he built it. But even if he is rich and rivals, it is difficult for him to arrange all the drips and water, and the financial resources are difficult to support, and this battle may take several years, and it must be inappropriate to make such one-off fortifications without leaving some family funds.

And the trap is unexpected, once used once used again I am afraid that it will not be so easy to use, the enemy has its own countermeasures, and it may be easy to resolve these traps, and then it is not good to move forward, it will not achieve the effect of killing the enemy, and at the same time hinder their own access.

Therefore, these many bizarre defenses around are different, and in order to save money and increase the lethality, those cruel poisonous pollen are used. It takes time for flowers to grow and grow, and the requirements of the soil are not casual, although this can be adjusted, but there is also consumption in the cultivation of land, and someone provided Lu Bing with another method that costs relatively little but has quick results, and once and for all.
