Chapter 798: Death Trap
Everything is silent, and the insects and birds do not sing.
A bright moon hung high in the void, silently watching the vast earth, unchanged for eternity.
The night breeze is unwilling to run lonely, shuttling in the secluded canyon, with a bit of coldness, constantly drilling into people's necks and cuffs, which makes people inexplicably irritable.
The lurking army was motionless, enduring the cold wind, and from time to time glanced at Qin Huaidao, who was not far away, his eyes were full of reverence and gratitude, everyone was a wandering and rootless wanderer, who had never eaten a full meal, and could fall on the side of the road at any time, and become the food of the beast's stomach, never expected that there would be today, Entong rebuilt.
It's not terrible to die, anyway, being a homeless person is also death, but now it's different, you can eat well, dress warmly, and learn a skill, kill the enemy for meritorious service and reward silver, where can you find such a good thing?
When the battle is over, marry a woman, have a bunch of children, and pass on the lineage, think about it.
In order to repay the great kindness of the King of Han and have a good life in the future, everyone couldn't help but clench their swords, cheer up, and prick up their ears to listen to the movements around them.
The eldest husband should use the knife in his hand to cut a golden avenue.
"Puff puff!"
Suddenly, there was a faint muffled sound, not neat enough, but dense as the sound of a drum from ancient times.
A killing intent burst out in everyone's eyes, and they all looked at Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao also heard that the enemy was coming, faster than those merchants had estimated, but fortunately, he prepared in advance, got up quickly, waved his big hand, and walked forward with the army.
The soldiers walked lightly and remained silent, looking at the majestic body in front of them.
Qin Huaidao didn't say anything, but after a series of sign words, the soldiers quickly picked up the crossbow and held it steady, preparing for battle, not slowing down, and continuing to move forward.
After walking a distance, Qin Huaidao made sign language, the soldiers quickly dispersed, the crossbowmen stepped forward, lined up in a two-stage attack formation, and the others were in reserve behind.
The position of the army was about a hundred meters from the ambush point, which was within the effective range of the repeater, but out of sight, the visibility of the canyon at night was very low, in other words, the enemy could not see everyone when they entered the ambush circle.
The soldiers are on alert, and the battle is about to break out!
"Puff puff!"
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, getting louder and louder, especially abrupt in the silent canyon, faintly visible fire light approaching, not long after, a large army appeared in the field of vision, dense torches illuminate the future people, look at the face, equipment, it is the army of the Tocharian Kingdom.
Under the hazy moonlight, countless pairs of eyes stared at the army that came over, like wolves and demons.
Qin Huaidao also stared at the enemy who was marching in a hurry, and he had some doubts in his heart, why did he come overnight so desperately? Although saving people is like fighting fire, it will not be rushed overnight, and even if the forced march arrives, it will be exhausted, unable to fight, and may even be ambushed, too dangerous, is there any hidden secret?
Seeing that the enemy army was getting closer and closer, and was about to enter the ambush circle, the blazing torches dispersed the night in the canyon and illuminated all directions, and it was clear that the route and formation taken were exactly the same as expected, and in the middle, twenty columns, the torches were aligned front and back, and it looked like twenty fire dragons rushing over.
When the big battle came, Qin Huaidao became more and more calm, calmly and forcefully played a series of battle sign language, signaling everyone behind him not to make a sound, prepare for battle, and wait for orders.
The cold wind rushed into the canyon, and the torches swayed in a panic.
Then the torch lit up, Qin Huaidao saw that the enemy army had entered the ambush circle, and he was about to rush out, turned around, his cold eyes fell on a division commander, and he ordered in a low voice: "Light a torch." ”
The other party nodded, took the torch that he had prepared a long time ago, and took out the fire fold and lit it.
Qin Huaidao snatched the torch and turned to look at the enemy trotting over, his eyes full of fighting intent.
The enemy troops who rushed over saw a torch suddenly appear out of thin air in front of them, and stopped in the void without moving, which also meant that they had encountered a ghost, and they were so frightened that they stopped, and the one behind hit the one in front, and the scene was a little chaotic.
Someone even shouted something, Qin Huaidao didn't understand, without the slightest hesitation, quickly waved his arm and rotated three times, issuing an attack order.
"Hit!"
A loud roar exploded at the top of the mountain, like thunder.
"Woohoo!"
Countless bolts tore through the void and screamed, smiling like a grim reaper out of hell, and swept towards the canyon.
The two divisions were about 15,000 men, and the crossbows were fired at a fast speed, and in a short time, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows rushed back and forth into the canyon, dense like rain.
The enemy was taken by surprise, and it was dark and invisible, and they were looking up with wide eyes, and countless crossbow arrows were falling from the sky, with the momentum of piercing everything.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”
One after another screams suddenly exploded, one after another, one after another.
Countless people fell one after another, and the dense military formation was emptied in an instant, like a wheat field that had been put down.
Instinctively, the enemy rushed towards both sides of the canyon, trying to find a place to hide, and many rushed forward, trying to break out of the ambush circle.
"Boom, boom—"
Suddenly, explosions rang out, earth-shattering, one after another.
The terrifying blast wave of the explosion blew all the enemy soldiers who rushed to dodge out, leaving the stumps and corpses all over the sky, and the explosion also shook the oil buried in the ground, and the jar was splashed with water, and the oil was ignited and burned.
The fire soon burst into the sky, illuminating the entire canyon.
At this moment, the canyon is like purgatory.
Countless people were set on fire, headless flies rushed around, collided with each other, and were soon shot to the ground by crossbow arrows falling from the sky.
The battle became a one-sided slaughter!
Qin Huaidao smiled with satisfaction when he saw this scene, he was so calculating, and he wasted so much oil and crossbow arrows, and he couldn't say that he couldn't win, and he saw many survivors rushing up in a panic, waving his big hand forward.
"Woohoo!"
The soldiers quickly struck and fired one crossbow bolt after another.
The survivors who rushed up did not wait for a word of rejoicing, but they were killed by a dense barrage of crossbow arrows, and they fell in pieces, and no one was spared again.
There are crossbows on the top of the mountain as dense as rain, there is a large army in front of the fierce blocking the way, and there are raging fires around them mercilessly burning, in the face of such a death trap, the enemy army has no escape, there is no battle, one by one falls.
The sound of shouts, wails, crossbows, and fires resounded like a piece of death.
Even the moon was frightened into the clouds by the horrific killing, but the oil and torches in the canyon made it easy for the soldiers to shoot and kill, and the crossbow bolts were like a storm to help them fight up.
Under the hazy moonlight, Qin Huaidao remained motionless, his eyes were cold, like a killing god.
The division commander in charge of the reserve army saw that the brother troops were fighting happily and that they would not be able to get any credit for killing like this, so he immediately became anxious and ran up and said: "King Han, brothers ask to attack!" ”
"No, keep shooting!" Qin Huaidao directly refused, the soldiers' physical strength had not fully recovered, so they didn't need to use the great opportunity, wouldn't it be unpleasant to run to close combat?
"Obey!"
"Shoot—"
