Chapter 345: Trap
The sound of explosions continued to sound, and the front line of the two armies turned into a sea of fire, the ground was filled with mud and smoke, and hundreds of soldiers in the front of the enemy camp were immediately buried in the flames.
Hearing the enemy's screams, Hua Shenguang smiled on his face, the power of the tribulus bomb was not as simple as the enemy imagined.
When Hua Shenguang was happy, in the thick smoke in front of him, there were many wind-breaking sounds, and as soon as he heard the sound, dozens of heavy arrows rushed out, and the heavy crossbows were extremely powerful, and the heavy arrows launched were shot at the soldiers of Daping Kingdom with a whirring sound.
"Shield!"
The soldiers in the rear immediately set up their shields, but the impact of the heavy arrows was extraordinary, and many soldiers were still beaten and flew backwards, and the shield array was broken in an instant.
After the first wave, hundreds of heavy arrows were fired, and this time the attack was stronger, and from the direction of the heavy arrows, Hua Shenguang deduced that the enemy had set up many heavy crossbows on the hillside, and it seemed that he had already dealt with it.
"Huh, Huh!" After avoiding a few crossbow arrows one after another, Hua Shenguang also retreated a little, this first wave of fighting, both sides had their own casualties, and on the side of Dapingguo, nearly 100 people in front were killed by heavy arrows.
"Hua Shenguang Xiao'er, if you are dead, if you are not dead, get closer, grandpa will give you heavy arrows to eat!" A voice came from the enemy camp, and it was the enemy general who was laughing.
Hua Shenguang ignored the enemy and ordered again: "Attack again!"
Hundreds of tribulus terrestris bombs flew out again, blowing up the soil nearly a thousand meters in front of them, and in the sound of the explosion, it was mixed with the shouts of the enemy, and it seemed that this wave of enemies also suffered heavy casualties.
"Lower the firepower and attack slowly!" Hua Shenguang commanded the Divine Artillery Army, throwing several tribulus shells into the mountain, maintaining a little firepower. After all, the enemy in front of you has been cleared, and no matter how large the attack is, the distance is out of reach, and the enemy cannot be hit.
A few minutes later, when the smoke cleared, Hua Shenguang saw that there were no enemy troops on the way up the mountain, the road was clear, even the fence in the middle, etc., no longer existed, and on the road, there were enemy corpses lined up horizontally and vertically, at first glance, there were hundreds of people.
"Lord Wang, it seems that all the enemies have been blown up. A soldier said.
"Not necessarily, this must be the enemy's plan to lure the enemy, as soon as you enter the mountain, you will enter the enemy's ambush circle. Another soldier retorted.
"You're right, the enemy wants to lure us in, but we can't get there. Hua Shenguang thought about it, led a few soldiers on his horse, and ordered the army to guard the outside, no matter what, he went to the east to observe the specific terrain.
About an hour later, Hua Shenguang's fast horse ran around this Wu Tianlin, and at all exits of Wu Tianlin, they were heavily guarded by the enemy, and Hua Shenguang could only look at it from a distance, not daring to approach. However, his personal observation on the ground has given him a deeper understanding of the terrain here. Wu Tianlin is actually surrounded by three low mountains, and among the low mountains, there are patches of forests, from between the two mountains, Hua Shenguang can see, faintly visible in the woods dense enemy military camps.
This kind of terrain is obviously easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to take it, you must send a large army up the mountain, or enter it from between the two mountains, and if the enemy hides and lies in ambush on the mountain, it is just right to condescend and kill the invading army.
And Wu Tianlin is not afraid of siege because he is at the intersection of three major roads, judging from Zhou Jianfeng's intelligence, the main road to the west is not far, and there should be follow-up reinforcements from Cheng Heizi.
Hua Shenguang returned to the army and discussed it again with several generals.
It is possible that Cheng Heizi knew that Daping Kingdom would attack here sooner or later, so he set up the illusion of defending here, waiting for the Daping army to attack, and after the attack, there would be a turtle in an urn, and as soon as the follow-up reinforcements arrived, they would attack inside and outside, and the Daping army would be miserable at that time.
Hua Shenguang believed that wolf smoke had already been set up on the top of the mountain, and as soon as the wolf smoke was lit, there would be continuous wolf smoke in the distance, and finally it would be transmitted to the reinforcements from far away.
This method is also the most commonly used method in warfare, setting up a small group of people at intervals of several miles, disguised as civilians, and as soon as the wolf smoke in front is ignited, this team of people will light their own wolf smoke and pass it in turn, extremely fast.
Of course, this is just Hua Shenguang's speculation, and no one knows whether this is the case or not.
But he won't take this kind of risk.
"Lord Wang, if it is really that dangerous, then what should we do?"
"In this way, send four small detachments of five hundred men to search out on three roads to see if there are any suspicious people or objects, and before sunset, whether there are clues or not, they must return. Hua Shenguang commanded.
Just when Hua Shenguang was dispatching his troops, in the bushes halfway up the mountainside, several enemy generals gathered together, looked at the army under the mountain from a distance, and watched Hua Shenguang's every move.
"General, this Hua Shenguang child is really not fooled, he hasn't made a move yet, you see, he sent three teams of men and horses to go in three directions. One of the Commanders said.
"This little boy is really alert, it is estimated that these three teams of people are going out to see if there are ambushes along the way, but they are destined to find nothing, our team has all dug holes in the ground, hidden in the bushes, no matter how he searches, he can't see anything unusual, let's wait, wait for his three-way people to come back, I'm afraid he will make a bold move, and when we are scattered thirty miles away, we will definitely capture him and get rid of General Cheng's troubles. ”
More than an hour passed, and Hua Shenguang still didn't move.
"General, you see, what is the enemy going to do?"
"They're setting up a stove and are going to make a fire to cook?" the enemy general watched from afar, "Does that little boy want to spend the night here, thinking that guarding the road will trap us?"
"Haha, we have abundant grain and grass reserves, and there are a few springs in this Wu Tianlin, and there is enough water and food, Hua Shenguang Xiao'er is probably about to miscalculate. ”
"Well, don't take it lightly, send some men closer down the hill to spy on the enemy's movements at any time. ”
When night fell, the three teams sent out by Hua Shenguang all returned, and they did not find anything unusual. After getting this news, Hua Shenguang kept struggling in his heart, whether to attack or take other methods?
"Lord Wang, this Wu Tianlin goes west, it is a straight avenue to Shanjing, if this place is lost, it will be equivalent to exposing Shanjing under our knife, Cheng Heizi should not be so stupid, his subordinates feel that there is a greater probability of fraud here. The captain who was familiar with the terrain here and led the commentary for Hua Shenguang thought for a long time and said this.
"Well, you're right, in that case, let's take another approach. Hua Shenguang finally made up his mind and looked at the enemy camp in the distance, because it was dark, he couldn't see clearly, and only saw the continuous mountains and forests, which were lush and green. But in the midst of the trees, there may be an army of enemies hidden, waiting for him to attack it.
