Another special forces opened another basket, revealing several left~wheel~hand~ guns and countless ammunition. ●⌒, these are special firearms for special forces, because they can shoot ~ six shots in a row, and the cartridge casing and loading are very fast, so they are favored by special forces.

Other special forces also took out their bags one after another, hid themselves in pre-dug trenches, dirt pits, and dirt slopes, and prepared to block the attack. Sure enough, it didn't take long for everyone to hear a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near, and it was obvious that a large group of men and horses had arrived.

The special forces here did not jump out of the cover and shouted, "I drove this road, I planted this tree", but shrank their heads one after another and hid their bodies more tightly.

At night, the light is poor, and it is in the woods, the clothes on the special forces are all green, and they also wear a hat made of shrubs and vine leaves on their heads, and even their faces and arms are painted with black charcoal.

It didn't take long for more than a hundred cavalry to appear in the field of vision, and it seemed that the Dongwu people were very willing to spend their money, and almost all the cavalry in the army were sent out. The naval army of Eastern Wu was extremely powerful, but horses were scarce, and cavalry was naturally scarce.

There is no way for Eastern Wu to ~ form an organized cavalry brigade like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry like the Wei State. A small number of cavalry were assigned to the troops stationed throughout the country, mainly acting as scouts. Of the troops stationed near the mouth of this branch, there were only about 100 horsemen.

I heard the gunfire in the dark night just now, and the deputy general of Soochow on duty tonight was highly vigilant, and immediately sent all the cavalry to this side to find out. In addition to these cavalry, he sent five hundred infantry to arrive.

However, the cavalry was much faster than the infantry, so it had left the infantry far behind. Soon, the cavalry had already entered the range of one hundred and fifty paces, and they apparently saw a row of torches lit here, and realized that something was wrong, so, at the order of the captain, they increased their horses and rushed towards this side.

When they reached a distance of 100 paces, several horses running in front of them suddenly fell to the ground with a scream, and the knights on horseback were thrown forward for more than ten steps under the action of inertia before hitting the ground, and they were all thrown half to death.

But even if they don't die, they will be trampled to death by the horses that continue to gallop and stop the cart.

"Tripside!"

"Beware of ambushes!"

There was a loud shout at the front of the line. The captain in the middle of the ranks, seeing that the situation was not good, immediately ordered to stop the advance, but it was not easy for the cavalry of the brigade to brake, and when they had completely stopped, they counted the number of people, and there were thirteen horsemen who were abolished.

The cavalry captain was so heartbroken that he couldn't afford to wear down so much cavalry that he spent a lot of money in Dongwu, and in just a few breaths, the enemy only used a tripping horse that cost only a few pennies, which made his cavalry lose one-tenth, and anyone who encountered this kind of thing would be depressed to vomit blood.

This is also the reason why the Eastern Wu people are not good at cavalry combat, if it is the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Wei State, the cavalry combat experience is rich, it is impossible to ride a horse in this environment. Even if the situation was urgent and they had to run at a high speed, they would certainly send two horsemen to run far ahead to find the way, so that no matter what traps lay ahead, they would only lose two horses, not all at once.

The captain frowned, and at the sound of an order, the cavalrymen took out the crossbow arrows on their backs, quickly wound them, and then put them flat in their hands, and at the same time, they spread out into an evacuation formation, and pointed the crossbow arrows in all directions outside the team, obviously ready to meet the enemy.

However, it was quiet, except for the slight rustle of the leaves in the breeze, not even the sound of insects. The sky was dark, and I couldn't see how far away I could rely on the torches they inserted behind the horses~ strands.

Seeing that there was no movement, the captain had no choice but to order the team to continue to move slowly. Anyone who has experience in cavalry combat knows that the place where the tripping rope is arranged must be some distance away from the place where the enemy soldiers are ambushed, and the distance depends on the combat style of the opposing general.

The captain also knew that he should not have been able to contact the enemy at this distance, but the fact that there was a stumbling horse confirmed that there was indeed an enemy here, and the gunshot just now was not a false alarm caused by a misfire or some other reason, but a real warning shot.

As for how many enemies there are? How did they get here? What is the purpose of being here? These have not been figured out yet, and they need to come forward to investigate. But he also knew that this kind of probing was very dangerous, and he would have to face cold arrows shot from the darkness~ at any time.

He immediately ordered one of the cavalrymen to turn around and report back to the barracks, saying that a tripwire had been found, confirming the presence of the enemy, and that other information was to be further investigated, and requesting that the general immediately send a large group of infantry to assist in encircling and destroying the enemy.

At the same time, he ordered two cavalrymen to dismount and walk in front of the team with long-handled broadswords, responsible for scouting and cutting the tripwires ahead. The other cavalry followed and slowly advanced.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the two soldiers who were opening the way in front to find and cut several tripwires, which made a loud noise when they were cut.

"Ahh

"Pull him out." The captain hurriedly ordered.

Another pathfinder ran up to him, ran his hands under his armpits, and dragged him backwards. Unexpectedly, the soldier who fell to the ground screamed even louder and louder. The soldiers who dragged people were so frightened that they hurriedly stopped, not daring to drag people anymore.

The captain hurriedly turned over and dismounted, pulled out the torch inserted in a shelf behind the horse's fart~ strands~ out, and stepped forward to check the situation. It's okay not to look at it, but I can't help but gasp when I look at it.

In the light of the fire, the soldier's foot in the pit was pierced by a sharp, barbed iron thorn, and the blood flowed out and seeped into the ground as if he didn't want money.

Because the iron spike had barbs, when another soldier tried to drag him out just now, the flesh and bones of his feet were hooked by the barbs, and the pain intensified, so he howled loudly.

The captain's face turned pale, and he said to the soldier who dragged him: "You stay and take care of him, and find a way to help him pull out ~ iron thorns." Remember to stop the bleeding in time, otherwise it is life-threatening. ”

After the soldier received the order, the captain called the two cavalrymen to dismount and ordered them to take over the task of the two soldiers and take charge of the road ahead. The two unlucky ones who were named trembled and picked up their long knives and slowly moved forward one step at a time.

There is no way, the lessons of the previous car are in front of them, and they can't help but be careless, so they must be careful with every step, at least try to see if there are pit traps in front of them, such a speed can be imagined how slow it is.

"Captain, do you want to extinguish the torch?" The vice-captain rode his horse and trotted over to the captain's side and asked.
