Chapter 670: The Calm Before the War
"Bah." Spit out a mouthful of saliva, and the toad that ate the phoenix expressed its disdain for Huaxiong and the others behind him.
It's easy to get rid of them with his real-life driving skills, mainly because he rides a horse and doesn't give the war horse any protective measures, which is the most dissatisfied point of the toad that eats the phoenix. If there is armor for the war horse, then as an old driver, he will definitely not run away in a panic like now, but will come to an offset, race, and play them to death.
Scratching his head, the toad that ate the phoenix turned his head and looked at the armored general who stopped far behind, and always felt that he was very powerful. The first arrow that just hit his war horse was shot by this guy, but unfortunately he still has important things to do, so he won't spend it here with this guy.
"Hmph." With a sneer, the phoenix-eating toad turned around and rode away into the distance.
There is still a long time to come, and it is not too late to take revenge. The toad who eats the phoenix believes that the time to settle accounts will soon come, and he will not have any hands left at that time, for the guy who is recorded in the small book, he has always killed the other party first, and then touched a wave of corpses.
Speaking of touching the corpse, the toad that eats the phoenix really has a little itchy hands. I don't know if the bodies of the two people he just killed are cold, so it's better to touch the corpses while they're hot.
"General, we're not chasing?" A scout rode up to Hua Xiong's side and asked.
He looked at the back of the toad eating the phoenix who was leaving, with hatred and anger in his eyes.
From Liangzhou to here, as well as the time in Liangzhou, this slap in the face is undoubtedly the most painful. This was the first time they had suffered such a big loss, and the usual scout battles were between chasing and chasing, and no matter how many Qiang people numbered, they would be left behind by them, like a joke.
From time to time, he stopped, turned around from time to time, and shot an arrow to take the life of the Qiang people. He admits that they had just been careless before two scouts would have died at the hands of this man, and that there would have been no such thing if he had been cautious at first. If, without if, someone has already paid the price for underestimating the enemy, it is natural that other people will not be able to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Hua Xiong watched the toad that ate the phoenix leave, and watched his figure disappear, but he still watched. He remembered this figure deeply, it was too late to say anything now, what he wanted to do, and he didn't want to sum up some experience, it was too ridiculous.
However, Hua Xiong knew that they would meet again soon. Instinct, by feeling, his intuition was always so accurate.
Let your neck head be placed on your neck first, and when the time comes, I will naturally go over and fetch it.
"No more chasing."
No matter how much you chase it, you can't catch up, at most it's hanging from a distance, but that's useless. The other party still has two war horses, and they can change to war horses at any time, how can they catch up with the horsepower of one of their horses?
Instead of working uselessly and making the war horse a little more tired, it is better to stop this somewhat stupid move in time to show his sense of powerlessness.
"Let's go." Hua Xiong said softly, controlled the war horse to turn around, and returned along the road.
"That's right." Li Ru smiled thoughtfully.
He stood up and thanked the players at the same table, "Thank you." ”
Li Ru turned around and walked in the direction of Dong Zhuo.
The three players were left looking at each other, a little confused. Although the hint that the task was completed, and there was still a silver ingot on the table, it was not the result they wanted.
I thought there would be a follow-up mission, but it turned out that there was nothing, and they didn't even know the name of the scribe.
This task is really amazing, so I guess that's it.
One of the players at the table is on the verge of chasing them down to see if they can get a new quest. But the players at his table held him down and shook their heads at him.
There are so many soldiers outside, you rush out, people probably think you are going to do something, kill you at once, who will cry when the time comes?
"Father-in-law." Li Ru walked to Dong Zhuo's side and said.
Dong Zhuo nodded slightly, "En." ”
"Did you ask something?" He asked again.
"Asked." Li Ru said.
"The man has been here for half a pillar of incense, and he doesn't go into the tea shed, as if he is waiting for someone. But when we came, there was no one waiting for him, so it was only possible that he was waiting for us. Li Ru told everything he heard and thought.
"Go on." Dong Zhuo's face became gloomy.
"Yes." Li Ru replied and continued, "When I was in Luoyang City, I noticed that there was a force in the city that was constantly obstructing my plan. By the time we left Luoyang City, it was already certain that there was indeed a force that was secretly opposing us. ”
"So?" Dong Zhuo asked again.
This is the worst-case scenario, originally Dong Zhuo still had some hope, but looking at the current situation, it is undoubtedly the same as the worst-case scenario he thought of.
"If we think about the worst, then we might as well imagine that there is an army ambush on the road to Luoyang now. It will be the case that people will be sent to wait, and after seeing the march, they will leave immediately. Li Ru's face was solemn.
He really felt that this was very likely to happen, the only chance to make a move, outside Luoyang City, after entering Luoyang City, no matter who wanted to do it, it was impossible to do it on such a large scale.
There is absolutely no harm in thinking badly, because thinking bad enough, dangerous enough. So no matter how bad the situation is, you have already anticipated it and have a corresponding way to target it, and there will be nothing to be at a loss for.
Now the question is, if his conjectures are true, then how many troops, are waiting for them? What are the dangers ahead?
Although his own army is 3,000 cavalry, he is invincible without the encirclement and suppression of a large army. Even if there is a large army to encircle and suppress, they still want to fight and leave, and they don't have to follow the enemy's rhythm.
When Li Ru was still pondering, he was suddenly stunned when he saw Dong Zhuo's face at first glance.
"Interesting." Dong Zhuo's face was not as gloomy as before, and he smiled.
"I want to see who is calculating me, and who doesn't want me to enter Luoyang City? If there is, then let's come together, and let me bury you together, but it's very simple. ”
Li Ru was not worried at this time, because when Dong Zhuo showed a smile, it meant that he had already prepared. Now, it's time to see what the preparation is, but Dong Zhuo doesn't say it, he doesn't ask, she can naturally know when she should know.
"Hurry up, spread the branches, and bring some leaves."
"Come on, come on, move the rejection horse here and block it."
On this section of the official road where Yunting is scheduled to block, it is still a very hot scene, and a large group of players are busy, constantly sweating. Just like the construction site, a handful, a small group of players have a clear division of labor, tacit cooperation, and after a period of getting started, they have now become extremely proficient.
Many players even secretly plan to join the army in the future, at least as a sapper, it is still very simple to set up traps or something. Not to mention, their experience in making all kinds of equipment has increased now, as long as they make a lot more, they can't be better at the level where practice makes perfect.
On the official road, rows of visible rejecting horses were erected in the center of the official road, blocking the official road horizontally. Whether it's a person or a horse, it's very difficult to climb over, because there are too many, there are too many. Except for the small road reserved for players to walk on their own has not been blocked, it can be called dense.
The war horse charged, even if it charged past the first row of rejected horses, but the second row, the third row, the fourth row... So many horses were rejected, even heavy cavalry in iron armor, and they would be weak when they saw such a scene.
Not to mention, after the rejection of the horse, there are also stumbling ropes, one after another.
On a high-speed horse, it's hard for you to notice the stumbling block? When the horses come running, when you get closer, you find it useless.
War horses have a period of inertia when they run, and even if you ask him to stop, it is impossible to listen to them all at once. The end result could only be a collision, the horse was tripped again, and the knight fell off the horse.
The two levels, the most ruthless, are at the back, which are already camouflaged pits. After a period of excavation, players have figured out what kind of pitfalls are best suited to the requirements of the mission. The bottom of the pit is full of wooden sticks with sharpened tops, and once a person falls, he is immediately inserted into his heart, even the horse.
All of this is hidden under the branches and leaves. On top of the leaves, another layer of mud and sand was paved, and at first glance, it looked exactly like a normal road.
If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to tell the difference. By the time you finally notice it, you may step on the air all of a sudden, and when you fall, it can no longer be reversed, and the sharpened sticks at the bottom of the pit have already worn you to the cold.
On the official road, the players' markings, small wooden signs, or simply a section of branches, represent the existence of a pit. Without these markers, players would not dare to step on it easily, and no one knows if they would have stepped into a pit.
When the completion is almost complete, many players wipe their sweat, gasp for air, and pour water into their mouths, and when they see the completed feat, they are all numb. Who would dare to walk through here? They wouldn't dare to let them come anyway, unless they were looking for death.
Horse rejection and tripping are all visible, as long as you pay careful attention, you will basically not be hit. But the pit is different, it is invisible, and if you are not careful, you will die immediately.
The kind of scene that is the same as the rock sugar gourd, inserted on the bamboo stick, makes people shudder when they think about it.
Now, some players are carefully clearing out the markers along the demarcated area. Step by step, everyone is extremely careful, not wanting to be the unlucky guy just now.
There was an unlucky guy who was too careless, and accidentally took a step back, and then, he stepped on the air, fell into the pit, and was pierced by three or four sticks.
The pit was eventually filled in and camouflaged perfectly, just like the others. But everyone after that knew that there was an unlucky guy who died in a pit dug by someone who didn't know who dug it.
Silence, a little silence, who told this person to step too big and pull the egg.
In the camp where Yun Ting was located, it was almost ready, and everyone kept to devote themselves to the manufacturing process. Coupled with the group of players who are struggling for the mission below, everything is the same as arranged by Yunting, and it has become a road of no return that no one wants to take.
Even Yunting saw the official road below, and he didn't dare to go. Even if he has a human escape technique, the consumption of the human escape technique is directly linked to the spiritual power, and it is absolutely impossible for him to use it endlessly, but there are so many pits, and it is not easy to cross.
Now all that remains is when the news of the toad that eats the phoenix arrives, let Yun Ting know when Dong Zhuo will arrive.
Because this rejection is so obvious, as long as you are not blind, you can see this roadblock, how to lure Dong Zhuo over is a difficult problem.
yes, Yun Ting is also a little distressed now. Dong Zhuo won't be a fool, and he won't be stupid to hit this place, so the next step is to throw enough bait at the right time period.
The bait cloud is ready, it is the players who have just finished their busyness, people like this who work hard and are not afraid of death at all, in the Three Kingdoms, among the aborigines, there will be no existence. As long as there are enough benefits, you can let these players die for you, and you are willing to go even if you know that you are dying.
"What are you thinking?" Oneiroi walked over to Yun Ting's side and asked aloud.
"I'm wondering if he'll take the bait." Yun Ting replied.
"Well, who knows? Man is always the hardest to guess, and even more unpredictable of his actions, which is nothing more than gambling. Oneiroi said.
"yes, gambling." Yun Ting nodded.
He was gambling, a gamble, betting on Dong Zhuo's character weaknesses, but now he was a little uncertain, because if Dong Zhuo had Li Ru by his side, his arrangements would not be effective at all.
Yun Ting is now completely caught in a situation of gain and loss, and there is only one chance. When Dong Zhuo arrives in Luoyang City, there will be no such opportunity, and at that time he can only rely on assassination.
Assassination, it is impossible. Infiltrating is a problem, not to mention that Dong Zhuo has elite soldiers guarding him, which is even more difficult.
Assassination is unlikely to succeed if guarded.
"The toad is back." Oneiroi reminded Yun Ting
Yun Ting nodded, turned around and walked back to the camp, and the toad that ate the phoenix happened to lead a horse and walked back with a sad face. Yun Ting could also see that he was embarrassed, obviously after a hard battle.
