There was no danger just now, but Ban Jingchong was shocked, if the empress of a country died on the city wall, Yanling would not be far from the death of the country. In a hurry, he complained to Sima Hongyan and said: "Lord Feng! You're too careless. I don't even take a shield, if something happens to you, how can I explain to the people of Yanling? ”

As soon as the words came out, Ban Jingchong was immediately stunned, this was the empress of Yanling, and it was really a great disrespectful sin for him to dare to reprimand him in public. He secretly regretted it, and in a hurry, he said it as smoothly as he usually counted his daughter.

Who knew that Sima Hongyan got up from the ground, dusted off the soil on his body, and said to Ban Jingchong: "What General Ban said is that I was wrong!" Be sure to pay attention next time! Thank you just now, if it weren't for General Ban's timely arrival, I would be in danger! "That expression was very serious, very humble. Not only did he not blame Ban Jingchong for being rude, but he also admitted that he was indeed reckless just now.

This scene was clearly seen and heard by the soldiers around them, and they were all so shocked that they couldn't keep their mouths shut. The empress actually confessed her mistake to the minister? How is this possible? Isn't it that Lord Feng just said the opposite?

Hearing Sima Hongyan admit his mistake, Ban Jingchong hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister has trespassed!" Please also ask Lord Feng to punish him! ”

Sima Hongyan looked at the enemies who were pouring in like ants outside the city, and said indifferently: "General Ban is right, why should I be punished?" It was indeed my negligence just now, and General Ban reminded me that it was also for my good, I understand! ”

There is no one before a monarch who can admit his mistakes, and for all emperors, they are the most honorable kings in the world, and everything is right, even if it is wrong. Sima Hongyan is really different from other emperors, listening to her words, Ban Jingchong was stunned on the spot, and he didn't know what to think in his heart.

Sima Hongyan's attention was on the Dragon Tooth Army outside the city, and he didn't take what happened just now seriously at all.

At this time, the Dragon Tooth Army was already galloping outside the city, and it seemed that it was running irregularly, but in fact, it came and went in a very orderly manner. Sima Hongyan glanced at the cracks in the city wall and understood that the way they moved was to guard against the enemy's bows and arrows.

The defenders of Yanling had moved away from the edge of the city wall, and the enemy's bows and arrows were too sharp to avoid their edges.

Seeing that none of the defenders in the city dared to show their heads, the Dragon Tooth Army roared again and again, and the sound was full of contempt and provocation, and all the soldiers in Yanling were angry.

And taking advantage of the suppression of the defenders at the head of the city by the Dragon's Tooth Army, the West Vietnamese infantry behind carried the ladder and siege piles to attack on a large scale.

Seeing that the cavalry under the city had reached the extreme, Sima Hongyan sneered at the corner of his mouth, and shouted to the generals behind him: "Soldiers, let these Xiyue barbarians see the methods of our Yanling people." Rise! ”

The soldiers had been waiting for Sima Hongyan's order for a long time, and when they heard the order, several teams of people pulled the long rope in their hands backwards at the same time.

Outside the city, the Dragon Tooth Army was still shooting while riding, but because they couldn't see the target, most of the arrows shot out missed, and the rest were blocked by the shield of the Yanling Army. Seeing that the infantry behind was about to arrive, countless long ropes suddenly appeared from the flat ground, startling the unscrupulous Dragon Tooth Army.

These long ropes had been buried in the sand on the ground a long time ago, and they were straightened at this time, and the Dragon Tooth Army found that one end of the rope was raised high, leading straight to the city wall of Yanyue Pass. I don't know what these ropes are for, and the Dragon's Tooth Army doesn't know how to deal with it for a while, and still runs and shoots arrows into the city.

Zuo Mansha was the leader of the Dragon's Tooth Army, and she was also stunned by these straightened long ropes, but she also reacted very quickly, and immediately ordered the Dragon's Tooth Army: "Quick! Cut those ropes! ”

However, it was too late for the Dragon Tooth Army to react and then want to cut it, and the sound of "boom" continued, and under the pull of these long ropes, countless spears suddenly stood up from the ground, and the shining spear blades went straight at the Xiyue people.

This is a small organ that Sima Hongyan had set up for Ban Lingruo to take advantage of the night. First, countless slender and inclined holes were dug out of the ground in a disorderly manner, and rushed out in the direction. Then a bamboo tube of equal length is buried in each hole, and the two sides of the bamboo tube are sharpened into oblique blades.

Then prepare countless short guns, put the bottom end of the gun on the sloping bamboo barrel mouth, and then bury it flat in the soil. Each spear was tied with strings, all of which were tied to a long rope that protruded from the walls and was in the hands of the defenders at the other end.

Because there are too many buried potholes, they are divided into multiple long rope controls. When Sima Hongyan ordered to pull it up, several soldiers used force at the same time, condescendingly pulling up the short spear buried in the soil. Since the bottom end of the spear is pressed against the mouth of the bamboo barrel underground, the spear that stands up immediately slides into the bamboo barrel and becomes a ground nail with barbs upwards.

Except for a long rope that was cut by the left mansha, and a spear with a corner that was not pulled up, the rest was completed without incident. The soldiers who were pulling the ropes that had been cut by the left mansha also fell.

Seeing that the organs had been activated, Sima Hongyan immediately shouted to the back: "Break the rope!" Someone was already on standby, and with a knife cut, the useless rope slid limply down the wall.

Zuo Mansha saw the upside-down blades all over the ground, and thought that what a powerful trap had been arranged, it turned out to be just some barbed secret nails, and immediately sneered, and said in his heart: It seems that Sima Hongyan is just capable of this!

Before she could finish her thoughts, something unexpected happened.

The Dragon Tooth Army, which had been coming and going, suddenly had many war horses that seemed to have tripped over the horses' hooves, and they fell down inexplicably, and the cavalry on the horses were also caught off guard and were dismounted. The ground is densely packed with barbs, and as long as people and horses fall, they basically can't stand up.

Zuo Mansha and the Dragon Tooth Army were shocked, they didn't know what was going on, and the originally neat team was in chaos. The Dragon's Tooth Army was already fast, but at this time, more horses scattered in all directions and more horses fell, and for a time there were neighing of war horses and the screams of cavalry everywhere.

The Dragon's Tooth Army suddenly had an accident, which shocked the infantry who were about to run in front of them, and they involuntarily stopped, looking at the chaos in front of them in horror.

Zuo Mansha shouted for the cavalry to reorganize the formation, but there were cavalry everywhere who suddenly fell for unknown reasons, and where could they recover the formation?

Zuo Mansha was puzzled, and the horse waved his sword and shouted at the dragon tooth army scurrying around. Unexpectedly, as soon as she ran a few steps, the war horse under her crotch suddenly lost its center of gravity in its front hooves, and threw Zuo Mansha off the horse in one fell swoop.

In a panic, Zuo Mansha saw an upside-down spear blade on the ground facing him. Relying on her martial arts, she twisted sharply in the air, and she could get out of the way, and fell heavily to the ground, avoiding the danger of a shot through the heart.

Just as he was about to get up from the ground, Zuo Mansha suddenly noticed that there were many thin transparent threads wrapped between the bodies of these upside-down guns on the ground. Zuo Mansha reached out and touched it, and it turned out to be a fishing line with excellent toughness. It turned out that it was this thing that tripped the cavalry.

Zuo Mansha was so angry that he scolded, slashed the fishing line in front of him with a wave of his knife, got up and shouted to the Dragon Tooth Army: "There is a tripping trap on the ground, everyone stay where they are and don't move!" ”

This sound was shouted out with a lift, and the Dragon's Tooth Army heard it, and the cavalry, who had not yet fallen, immediately grabbed the reins of the horses and stopped the horses that were still running around.

Sima Hongyan had already seen all this, and shouted behind him: "Release the arrow!" ”

The bowstring sound of "whoosh" was loud, and thousands of arrows covered the sky like black mist. Zuo Mansha was shocked, these cavalry had no shields, and they all stood in place like live targets, and there was no way to avoid them.

There was another mixture of neighing and screaming of horses, and countless people and horses of the Dragon's Tooth Army were shot alive and turned into hedgehogs.

Zuo Mansha's war knife danced into a ball, protecting the vital points of the whole body, but how could this rain-like bow and arrow be blocked, and suddenly several arrows were hit in his legs and body, and with a miserable scream, Zuo Mansha fell to the ground.

These lines are completely transparent and cannot be seen until you get close. Zuo Mansha fell, and without a commander, the Dragon's Tooth Army was even more chaotic, and in order to save their lives, many cavalry jumped off their horses and ran back.

But can a soldier without a horse run a bow and arrow? Just after the first round of arrow rain, the second round came, and the dragon's tooth army looked at the rain of arrows flying towards them like locusts, and they were terrified. Before he could take two steps, he was nailed to the ground by countless bows and arrows.

The division of the king of cavalry had never experienced such a terrible blow. From the fall of the first cavalry, Xiahou Shuojie found out that something was wrong, and immediately led the army to the rescue, but the distance was still far away, and he couldn't get close for a while, so he could only watch his dragon tooth army fall more and more people and horses.

Xiahou Shuojie didn't care about others, he only looked for Zuo Mansha in the crowd. When he saw Zuo Mansha fall from several arrows in his body, his heart suddenly ached, and he almost fell off his horse.

Xiahou Shuojie didn't know what was going on under the city, but the invincible army he was proud of was facing a merciless slaughter at the moment. When it was normal, there were not many of the 20,000 Dragon Tooth Army left standing. And the rain of arrows at the head of Yanyue Pass came wave after wave, and the black feather arrows poured the land under the city over and over again.

Some of the Dragon's Tooth soldiers were only shot by arrows, and they were not dead for a while, howling and crawling outward, but after another round of arrow rain, the screams disappeared.

The deputy generals who followed behind Xiahou Shuojie saw that the Dragon Tooth Army was almost wiped out, and even the left mansha was folded in it, and hurriedly dissuaded Xiahou Shuojie from being rash, retreating first, and then making plans.

His beloved died on the battlefield, Xiahou Shuojie was filled with grief, and just rushed forward with a gloomy face, ignoring the advice of the deputy general.

Seeing that he had caught up with the infantry who were still at a loss for what to do, Xiahou Shuojie shouted: "What are you doing in a daze? Follow me! ”

An infantry commander shouted: "General, the Yanling people have set up a stumbling rope in front, and they will be sent to death in the past." ”

Xiahou Shuojie looked forward, what stumbling blocks were there? It's all upside-down spear tips.

The infantry commander saw that the commander didn't believe it, and then said: "My subordinates have seen with their own eyes that many brothers of the Dragon's Tooth Army have tripped over their horses' legs and fallen on barbs and died. Even the left vanguard was tripped and fell off, and then was killed by an arrow. ”

The adjutant general in the back also hurriedly said at this time: "General! Bear with it for a while, and it's not too late for us to go back and discuss countermeasures before we come back to avenge the left vanguard! ”

Sima Hongyan looked at everything that happened on the battlefield, and saw that Xiahou Shuojie, who had originally rushed to the rescue, actually stopped halfway, so he turned around and shouted to the Yanling cavalry waiting below: "Brothers, let them taste the power of the Yanling cavalry today, and everyone follow the southern vanguard out to give these Xiyue barbarians a little more bitterness." ”
