Although 60,000 people were dispatched, there were still more than 200,000 Jin troops under Lin Haotian's command, and such a huge army could attack a small town in the land of projectiles, and it could be flattened in just one walk.

However, the defenders of Guxue Town resisted very stubbornly, the number of defenders was not large, only about 3,000 people, but they laid many traps and traps inside and outside the town.

The Jin army, which was walking in front, had just approached Guxue Town, and without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, it was shot by the arrows of the wooden army.

The Jin army was unprepared, and hundreds of people were shot down at once, and after the people stabilized their positions and put up their shields, they looked closely, and it turned out that there were many trenches dug outside the town, and the arrows were shot from the trenches.

After seeing this, the Jin army was furious, and immediately sent cavalry, intending to charge over at the speed of cavalry and kill all the enemies in the ditch.

But the cavalry had not gone far away, and the screams rang out, and one by one the horses stepped into the air and fell into the traps dug in advance, and at the bottom of the traps, covered with sharpened bamboo tongs, fell into them, and they were immediately stabbed into a hornet's nest, and the men and horses died.

Not even the shadow of the wooden army was seen, first the loss of infantry, and then the loss of cavalry, the chief general in charge of the front army Ling Hu Gao was furious, and ordered the cavalry to retreat, and the infantry phalanx went up, and the enemy in the ditch must be destroyed.

The trap was placed there, the cavalry would fall into the pit if they stepped on it, and the infantry was also not good at stepping on it, and the Jin infantry approached and fell into the trap, and the number of dead and wounded rose in a straight line.

The traps laid by the wooden army, the Jin army was forced to add to the past, and at this time, looking back at the battlefield, it was so numb, and the ground was pitted and concave, and there were deep pits and trenches.

Ling Hu Gao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and secretly said that the adult finally reused himself to take the lead. The result is good, before it reaches the town, it has already paid a lot of casualties.

He ordered the heralds around him to speed up the infantry phalanx in front of him, advance to the ditch, and kill all the wooden troops inside.

But when the Jin army advanced to the ditch. Looking down again, where is there half of the wooden army inside, I don't know when, and I don't know what method the other party used, the wooden army inside has run out.

When Ling Hu Gao came to the empty ditch under the protection of the generals under his command, his mind was full of inexplicability, obviously he didn't see the wooden army running out of the ditch, but why was the person gone?

After thinking for a moment, he tilted his head and ordered, "You go in and search! There must be a tunnel in the ditch." Find out the tunnel for me and kill all the wooden troops inside."

The experience that Ling Hu Gao had accumulated over this time worked, as he expected, there were indeed tunnels in the ditch, and they could always lead into the town. Under his command, the officers and men of the Fifth Legion jumped into the ditch one after another, and it didn't take long to find the entrance to the tunnel.

But when people are looking for tunnels. None of the lines were found clinging to the ground.

The line is cleverly laid out, with one end fixed to the earthen wall of the trench. The other end is tied to the plug at the mouth of the can, and the can is buried in the earth wall and covered with dirt. On the surface, you can't see anything, but in fact it's all fire oil.

In the confusion, the Fifth Legion soldiers kicked the fishing line off the ground. The plug at the mouth of the can was pulled off, and the oil inside gurgled out, but people rushed to find the tunnel, but they did not notice the sudden excess liquid under their feet.

When people find the tunnel, they rush in. At this moment, there was a sudden shout of killing in the town, and countless rockets were fired, some of which fell to the ground and some of which flew into the trench.

If the oil flowing under the trench sticks to the fire, and the rocket is ignited, just in an instant, the narrow trench becomes a sea of fire.

"It's on fire! It's on fire!"

"Help!"

......

In a moment, the entire ditch turned into a sea of fire, and the Jin army who entered it was burned with screams, and when many people struggled to climb out, people had become burning people, and their clothes, armor, shoes, and hair were on fire, and the miserable screams made people listen to the creepy, and even Ling Hu Gao, who was standing next to the ditch, was suddenly burned by the fire and his beard and eyebrows, and retreated again and again under the pull of the surrounding generals.

It took a long time for Hu Gao to come back to his senses, the scene in front of him can only be described as miserable, poor those Jin soldiers who entered the ditch, were burned into a ball, some people were still doing dying struggles, making heart-rending screams, some people have become black charcoal, with a stiff green smoke, and the smell of burnt skin and flesh permeated the audience.

I don't know how long it took, Ling Hu Gao jumped as if he had been stepped on by someone's tail, and shouted repeatedly: "Fight the fire! What are you doing here? Quickly put out the fire!"

People woke up from a dream and shouted, "Fight the fire!"

But where can they find water on the battlefield? People can only use the soil next to the trench as a fire extinguishing tool, and people take off their helmets and pour the earth into the trench with their helmets.

After a lot of busyness, the fire in the ditch was finally extinguished, but most of the Jin soldiers who had jumped into the ditch had been burned to death, and a large number of soldiers who were burned by the fire were pulled aside, and the moans were endless.

From beginning to end, he didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, and he lost more than 1,000 people, which made Hu Gao wonder why he was so unlucky, once he led the army, how could the enemies he encountered be so powerful and cunning?

"General, the enemy buried many oil cans in the trenches, and the brothers who had just gone in could not find them in time. ”

A golden general jumped out of the ditch, still holding a cracked jar in his hand, and carefully handed it to Ling Hugao.

The latter took it, looked at it a few times, hit it angrily, slammed it to the ground, and roared angrily: "Let me continue into the tunnel, and let the wooden army go around and pull out for me." ”

"Yes! ”

Under the order of Ling Hu Gao, another Jin army jumped into the ditch, but this time people were more attentive and carefully watched their feet, for fear of falling into the enemy's plot again.

First of all, there were 200 Jin soldiers in the tunnel, but these 200 people became meat buns and beat dogs, and there was no return, outside the tunnel, you could vaguely hear the shouts and wails inside.

But soon, it became silent again.

Could it be that there is still an ambush in this tunnel? Ling Hu Gao frowned secretly, and then sent another 500 soldiers, but like the 200 people who had just entered, these 500 people had all gone and never returned, like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was not even a single person who was injured and ran back.

At this moment, Ling Hu Gao was also shocked, how many wooden troops were hidden in the tunnel, and how could none of the 700 people sent in by his side come back alive? Just when he was so anxious that he straightened his hand, a partial general beside him arched his hand and said: "General, the last general is willing to go in and find out." ”

The partial general who spoke was named Zhou Yu, a native of Muguo, and he had not been in the new army for a long time, because his cultivation was good, and Linghu Gao was in urgent need of employing people, so Zhou Yu was directly promoted to a partial general.

Seeing that he took the initiative to ask for help, Ling Hu Gao hesitated for a moment, and Fang told him uneasily: "General Zhou, you have to be careful, this authentic evil door of the enemy army is very evil, you can fight, if you can't fight, quit quickly, I won't blame you." ”

Zhou Yu smiled, grabbed his silver spear, and said while covering his armor: "Although the general can rest assured, the general will go here in the end, and he will open up the tunnel for the general!" After speaking, he took five hundred hard-dressed Jin soldiers and took the lead into the tunnel.

Ling Hu Gao waited anxiously outside, and after about ten minutes, there was another shout in the tunnel, the shouting gradually strengthened from weak, and then weakened, and it did not take long for the tunnel to return to tranquility.

I don't know what the situation is inside, so Ling Hu Gao scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously outside, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

Time passed little by little, but there was no sound in the tunnel, and Hu Gao's patience had reached the limit, and when he was about to send someone in, he suddenly heard the soldiers guarding the tunnel mouth shouting: "There are footsteps!

Ling Hu Gao's spirit was lifted, and he hurriedly pushed away the people in front of him, rushed to the entrance of the tunnel, and squinted his eyes to look inside.

Sure enough, there were footsteps! And the sound was getting closer, and it was clear that the people inside were walking outward.

The hearts of all the people in the Jin army were raised to their throats, including Ling Hu Gao, and people stared at the situation in the tunnel without blinking.

As if a century had passed, a person staggered out of the tunnel, and the Jin army instinctively rushed up and surrounded it in a semicircle. (To be continued......)
