Chapter 196: Fighting wits and courage
readx;
The forward general opened his mouth and explained: "The brothers in front naturally saw that there was a pit in front, but the brothers in the back didn't know, they were still moving forward, so they squeezed the brothers in front of them down." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 By the time the last general realized that the situation was wrong and ordered to stop advancing, more than 200 brothers had already fallen in. ”
“......”
"Don't be angry, the general will give an order, find out how big this pit is, let's go around. The forward general made an excuse and ran away.
Fortunately, this pit is not big, it is only ten zhang square.
It wasn't long before someone fell into the pit again.
There is a new pit, not big or small, and it is also ten zhang square.
Immediately afterwards, I encountered several almost identical mud pits one after another.
The number of people who fell into the pit and was killed by the pit has exceeded 500......
How can there be so many mud pits here? What's even more puzzling is that these pits still look exactly the same!
This is obviously unreasonable, and it is not the first time that Yu Ding has taken this road, the last time he walked, let alone so many pits, there was not even one, but now there are so many suddenly!
Someone must have dug it up beforehand!
"Damn the Bermans!" As long as he is not a fool, he must be able to guess that it was the Berman soldiers who did it, Yu Ding is not only not a fool, but also very smart, so since he saw the second pit, he knew that it was the Berman soldiers who did it, but what he didn't expect was that they dug so many pits!
As a last resort, Yu Ding had to send a scout team to explore the way ahead.
If you look from above, you can see that at this moment, Kate's army has been divided into several parts by these mud pits, and the whole army is winding and struggling, and it looks like a dying black snake from a distance.
At this moment, the mutation is reborn!
A rain of arrows suddenly shot out of the haystack on the side of the road, and there was a squad of 100 archers in ambush here.
The rain of arrows didn't cause much casualties, but when they swarmed up and attacked the group of archers, they fell into the pit again......
So, when they were ambushed by the archers again, they finally learned to be obedient, and instead of rushing up, they retreated out of their range and let their own archers shoot at them.
But when their archers were ready, where could they still see the shadow of the Berman archers?
"Ahh
Suddenly there was a scream in front of him, only to scream, and then it stopped abruptly.
Everyone looked in the direction of the screams, and their scalps couldn't help but tingle.
It was another pit, but this pit was dug very small, and it could only accommodate two people at most, and it was very difficult to be punished, and sharp barbs were faintly visible at the bottom!
Everyone who saw this scene palpitated, could it be me next?
The further back I went, the more I found that there were more and more such pits. Generally, it will be discovered when one or two people fall into it.
As a result, in just one afternoon, the number of people who died in these large and small pits has reached nearly 1,000.
The entire army was only 30,000 men, and one-thirtieth of it was lost like this!
Yu Ding's face was gloomy, almost dripping water.
"No matter how we go on, we will all die before we see the shadow of the Bermans!"
"General, should we send more scouts to explore the way?" said the forward general cautiously.
"Do you want me to disband the Chinese army and be a scout?"
"The general's words are serious"
"So how many men do you think it will take to find out all the nasty pits that the enemy has dug for me?"
"General, I thought of a note."
"If you have something to say, don't grind. Yu Ding said impatiently.
"We can set a fire and use fire to open the way, and wherever it does not burn, it must be a mud pit, and as for that small pit, the layer of dead leaves laid on it will also be burned, and our soldiers can see it, and naturally they will not fall into it again. ”
Yu Ding's eyes lit up, and he suddenly frowned again: "However, there are dead grass and dead leaves everywhere here, once the fire gets out of control, won't it lead to a fire**?"
"We can clear out a fire belt, along the place where we are stationed, draw a fire belt three feet wide, and clean up all the dead grass and leaves in this fire belt, and the fire will naturally not burn ourselves. This is Berman, even if the fire can't be controlled in the end, it won't hurt us, so let the Berman people wait!"
"Good idea! Just do it!" Yu Ding slapped the table and agreed to the plan.
None of them noticed that in a dark corner of the room, an illusory shadow suddenly disappeared into the ground.
"What are you talking about, they're going to set fire?" Hongyu never expected that they would come up with such a crazy idea.
"Well, set fire, and all the traps we've designed for them will be ineffective. Oz was also very serious.
"They don't want to live, once the fire gets out of control......
"They cleared out a three-foot wide fire barrier, and the fire could not burn them. Oz repeated the Udding's approach.
Hongyu was a little distracted, and with a "bang!", he sat heavily on the chair.
It's a big game this time!
The weather was dry, the wind was strong, and once the fire spread, it would be immeasurable damage for Berman.
"Where's the map? Hongyu said suddenly.
"There are a few small villages here, and they are likely to be affected," Hongyu said, pointing to a few border villages not far from them on the map.
"Well, this distance, it's really possible. ”
"And we don't have time to get them evacuated. Hongyu continued.
Everyone nodded their heads with sad faces.
"So, the only thing we can do is to extinguish this fire before it even burns!" Hongyu said categorically.
"But how do you put it out? People won't watch you put out the fire and ignore it, right? And once the fire is burning, maybe we can't extinguish the fire as fast as it spreads. One of the generals said.
"Then let them not let go out of this fire. ”
"Huh?"
"Aren't they going to clear out a fire belt? We don't have time for them to do this, so they won't dare set it on fire. The more Hongyu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
"What General Hong said is not unreasonable, and I have no opinion. A general said privately.
"That's a good idea, but how do you do it?" asked another general.
"Now that we've decided to stop and set up camp, their mobility has dropped considerably, and we can continue to use harassment tactics. ”
