Chapter 113: Making Soil Mines
Chen pursed his lips and let out a long roar, and the giant antlions and scorpions that were dormant under the sand broke through the ground, and with the strange syllables in Chen's mouth, they lined up neatly, and some of them were irritable and kept pulling the sand on the ground with their claws, and bursts of yellow sand continued to rise in mid-air.
With Chen's order, the army of antlions and scorpions also marched towards the outside of the cave, and the two sides met not far from the hole, the vanguard of the other party was a group of humanoid gerbils, in addition to walking upright and holding weapons, other appearance characteristics are no different from the rat category, they are also a group of low-level shapeless gerbils.
Chen took the lead in sending scorpion soldiers to intercept the opposing gerbil troops, these scorpions did not have a little humanoid features except for their larger size, and they were obviously one level lower than these shape-shifting gerbils.
Although the scorpion soldiers did not hold knives, guns and clubs like gerbils, their natural two huge pincers and the terrifying sting needles behind them were not inferior to the metal weapons in the hands of gerbils, and the two sides hissed and hit together, and from time to time severed limbs and stumps fell to the ground, and those who were seriously injured and did not die also lay on the ground and wailed.
In nature, scorpions often feed on gerbils, and they have a natural blood suppression of mice.
Just as Chen was about to order the scorpions to attack, the gerbil swarm suddenly received an order, and they immediately changed their tactics, quickly gathering five of them together, standing in a circle with their backs to the inside and outward, forming a simple battle formation.
It was this simple battle formation, but it greatly hindered the attack of the scorpion soldiers, and the two sides entered a see-saw stalemate, and even the casualty rate of the scorpion soldiers was higher than that of gerbils.
Tatsumi was a little anxious, and issued another order for the scorpion soldiers to attack quickly, but this could only backfire and increase his own casualty rate in vain.
Chen helplessly set his eyes on Isanagul, and the queen shook her head and said, "I'm just an energy body now, and I can't do anything. ”
"Just have your Antlion soldiers throw sand into their battle formations and captivate the eyes of those gerbils." Lin Feng gave Chen a bad idea.
Chen's eyes lit up, "Heroes are good at scheming!" ”
After a few chirps in his mouth, several antlions rushed out, turned their bodies upside down, raised their hind limbs, and threw a large amount of fine sand at the gerbil battle array, and the eyes of his own scorpion soldiers were covered with a transparent protective layer, and the sand did not hinder them at all.
The gerbils on the other side were frightened, they had eyelids, and the pain of the sand entering the eyes was unbearable, forcing them to throw away their weapons and rub their eyes.
The scorpion soldiers took the opportunity to slash wildly, and the gerbil swarm was suddenly overwhelmed, with more than half of the casualties.
Chen was about to command the scorpion soldiers to pursue, but Lin Feng raised his hand to stop him, "Poor Kou Mo chase, don't fall into their ambush."
Chen Shen nodded approvingly and said, "The hero really has a plan, what should we do next." ”
"First of all, replenish the physical strength of your soldiers, and only when you are full can you have the strength to fight, what do you think?" Lin Feng asked.
"Well, that's a good idea, why didn't I think of it, it's still a hero." Chen couldn't stop praising Lin Feng.
"Chirp" Tatsumi made another strange syllable from his mouth, and the scorpion and the antlion rubbed their forelimbs in response, and then desperately rushed forward to eat the dead gerbil.
The numerous gerbil carcasses, antlions and scorpions could not be eaten at all, and Tatsumi croaked a few more times when he saw this, and the crows and vultures he had seen earlier also flew in to join in the feast.
"By the way, Chen, what kind of food are you eating here," Lin Feng asked with some curiosity.
"It's different, we generally eat grain and fruit, some races they only eat meat, like antlions and scorpions and those sand lizards, while gerbils eat both meat and food, and some people like you they also eat everything."
"By the way, hero, what do you want to eat?" Tatsumi smiled awkwardly, "It seems that there is only fruit here." ”
"Don't mother-in-law, take out anything to eat!" Lin Feng was not polite at all, he didn't know how long it had been since he had a full meal of rabbit meat last time.
Chen brought some pears, jujubes, walnuts and other dried fruits and fruits, the fruit here is no different from ordinary fruits, but the size is much bigger, he tasted all kinds of fruits, the water is very sufficient, but not as delicious as ordinary fruits, a little dull and tasteless feeling, may be related to the lack of light here.
It doesn't matter if it's delicious or not, it's good to eat it, Lin Feng remembered the days when he was hungry in the desert, and called Xiaomei out by the way, this guy doesn't look weak, in fact, the amount of food is really not small.
"Let's not take the initiative to attack, they won't stop if they suffer losses today, they will definitely come to sneak attack." After eating and drinking, Lin Feng began to analyze the battle situation, "We must do a good job of trapping to wait for work." ”
"What trap, how to wait for the law?" Chen Yi heard the spirit, and said with a light in his eyes.
"Are there mines here?" Lin Feng asked.
"What is a mine?" Tatsumi was a little confused.
"Where's gunpowder?" Lin Feng asked again.
"The kind of one that makes a bang at the slightest fire?" Tatsu's outstretched arms are a metaphor for the explosion of gunpowder.
"Well, that's it", Lin Feng was excited in his heart, and sure enough, he still found it.
"It's been lost for thousands of years, and I've heard it in stories, and there really is such a thing." Tatsumi shook his head.
Lin Feng was slandered, what kind of metaphor do you have when it is lost? Hurt Lao Tzu to rejoice.
"Then I only made it myself," Lin Feng said, "Find someone to burn charcoal." ”
"Charcoal is there," Tatsumi hurriedly said.
"What about saltpeter? What about sulfur? These two things are very important. ”
"I haven't seen saltpeter, but there is one in the Sulfur Cave." Tatsumi thought for a moment.
"Find someone to go to the roadside or the river to find white tidal soil and dig it back and boil it, and you can get saltpeter."
Then I'll go in person, Chen happily took a few of his scorpion soldiers to dig the tidal soil, and Lin Feng and Xiaomei went to the cave to collect sulfur.
In the evening, some saltpeter had already been boiled, and Lin Feng personally mixed a certain proportion of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal together and mixed them into a large iron shell, and rolled the three into paper in another proportion to make a fuse and inserted it in the iron shell.
Lin Feng personally led people to bury the land mines on the path that the enemy must pass, and then sent a sentry to the front to keep an eye on the enemy's movements.
In the second half of the night, the enemy finally moved, and the large group of men and horses drove over, and just as the enemy was approaching, Lin Feng lit the fuse.
Just as everyone on their side was waiting for the mine to explode, who knew that the fuse suddenly went out, and seeing that the enemy was about to enter the mine group, everyone sighed, and the look of disappointment was clear on their faces.
Lin Feng used all his strength to perform the impermanence ghost step, and in an instant, he arrived at the place where the fire was extinguished, and immediately re-lit the fuse.
"There are spies! Catch him. When the enemy saw him, they chased after him with a shout.
The impermanence ghost step has been rushed to the extreme, and there is only an afterimage in the eyes of everyone.
"Boom," a succession of explosions rang out.
