Chapter 42: The Trap Experience

The instantaneous change between the roles of hunter and prey only made Cao Jiangyun's heart slightly startled.

But thinking that he had more than 200 people under his command and only more than 30 opponents, such a large disparity made him feel very sure.

"All the soldiers of the Night Wolf Battalion obey the order, dismount and fight!"

Cao Jiangyun saw that the surprise attack was not successful, and thought that the opponent's convoy was also ready for defense, so he simply changed to foot combat.

With several times the number of people on the other side, although there are some twists and turns now, it should be easy to win next.

So all the cavalry of the Night Wolf battalion jumped off their horses, and then drew their long knives from their saddles and rushed towards the convoy.

The hopeless army in the rear still rushed towards the caravan with all its speed.

As they continued to charge, the chariot on fire behind them was getting closer and closer.

Cao Jiangyun and the others still didn't realize that their rear was on fire.

Before Cao Jiangyun and the others could go far, Cao Jiangyun suddenly felt as if it was drizzling in the sky.

It's just that he looked at the moon and stars in the sky, and it didn't look like it was raining.

He couldn't help touching it with his hand, between the tentacles he felt that the drizzle was a little sticky, and his fingers felt slippery, and he put his fingers to the tip of his nose and couldn't help but be shocked.

"It's not good, it's fierce fire oil!"

When he smelled the liquid, he instantly realized what it was.

This fierce fire oil is generally used by the border army to defend the Great Wall.

And this time, there happened to be such a batch of fierce fire oil among the materials that the Yang Commercial Bank supported Biansai.

When Li Yi was about to set up an ambush, Yang Ping took out a part of this batch of fierce fire oil, and under the guidance of An Su, everyone moved the fierce fire oil to the top of the cliff.

Originally, Li Yi was worried that the fierce fire oil would not disperse if it fell from the cliff, but after observing the terrain, the senior bandit An Su patted his chest and assured Qi Ning that there would definitely be unexpected effects.

When Qi Ning told Li Yi about An Su's assurance, he didn't quite believe it.

But when it was almost dark, the wind in the mountains began to get stronger as the temperature dropped.

After Li Yi experimented on the mountain cliff, he found that these fierce fire oils would immediately disperse after the mountain wind blew, forming a rain and fog-like effect.

As long as they calculate the amount of advance and pour the fierce fire oil upstream of the mountain wind, they can control the fierce fire oil well.

Only then did Li Yi think of putting a flame carriage on the mountain road.

In this way, the power of the fire oil will be very great.

After Cao Jiangyun realized that what was falling from his head was fierce fire oil, he knew that it was now a critical time for survival, and he could not delay any longer.

"Brothers, rush forward, don't give them a chance to get a little fire!"

Saying that, Cao Jiangyun took the lead in drawing his long knife and rushing towards the convoy, what he was most worried about now was that the convoy in front of him would shoot rockets.

But looking at the convoy in front of it, although there were sporadic fires, those were all bonfire fires, and there was no sign that the convoy was shooting rockets.

So he thinks that the other party should not have reacted yet.

It's just that he didn't see that the flaming carriage behind them was getting closer and closer to them.

The soldiers of the Night Wolf Battalion and the Hopeless Army now also understood their situation at this time, even if Cao Jiangyun did not take the lead, they would rush forward with indomitable progress.

After all, they have a steep cliff on one side and a steep slope on the other, no matter which direction they go.

And the only thing that works is to move forward or backward.

When Cao Jiangyun shouted and rushed forward in front, someone in the Hopeless Army in the rear subconsciously looked in the direction behind him.

Originally, this man looked behind him because he was worried that if there were any obstacles ahead, he would be able to see the road clearly in advance and escape.

It's okay not to look at it, his soul is almost scared away at a glance.

Although they feel that life has completely lost hope, they are not afraid of death.

But as a human instinct, he was still frightened when he saw the huge ball of fire that was rapidly approaching him.

After several people in the rear saw the burning carriage, they stood in a daze.

And the people in front still didn't notice anything abnormal, after all, the line of more than 200 people on this not wide mountain road was already very long at this time.

Cao Jiangyun, who was at the forefront, brandished a long knife and rushed to the front.

Although he usually seems to be a weak scholar, at this time he is not slow at all, even if he loses his horse, he still runs at an amazing speed on his legs.

But before they could run far, Cao Jiangyun was surprised to find that the Night Wolf Battalion soldiers running around him fell to the ground one after another.

These guys are all running and suddenly leaning forward, and then their faces are in close contact with the ground.

Many people rushed so hard that they took advantage of the momentum of rushing forward and rolled out on the ground for several meters.

"These cowardly creatures only know how to do these vile tricks."

Seeing his subordinates tripped over the pit under his feet like the war horses just now, he couldn't help but curse angrily.

It's just that he has to admit that these despicable methods seem simple and even ridiculous, but their effect is excellent.

These tactics succeeded in stopping the momentum of their charge.

However, he knew that he must not stop now, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

He looked at the people who had fallen to the ground, and found that some of the people who had fallen were concentrated in the middle of the mountain road, and that no one had fallen near the mountain wall.

"Everyone is approaching the mountain wall, there are no traps there."

Cao Jiangyun immediately commanded everyone to approach the mountain wall, and then continued to rush towards the convoy.

Seeing the convoy getting closer and closer to him, Cao Jiangyun's heart was now full of murderous intent.

The short path of a few hundred meters caused him to be frustrated in a row, seriously damaging his prestige among the Night Wolf Camp and the Hopeless Army.

Today, no matter what, he has to crush all the people in this team, so that he can solve his cruelty.

But before they could run far, Cao Jiangyun found that there were sharpened wooden thorns obliquely inserted on the cliff in front of them.

And because they were so close to the mountain wall, the moonlight above them was blocked by the cliffs, making the area a little dark.

So only if you get very close can you find these wooden thorns stuck in the cliff.

Cao Jiangyun deflected towards the mountain road as soon as he found the wooden thorn, but fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, and he narrowly avoided the sharp wooden thorn.

But those who followed him closely behind him were not so lucky.

In an instant, there was a sound of "poof, poof" from the mountain wall, and the sound came and went.

The hapless eggs were pierced by the wooden thorns, but they didn't howl.

It's not that all of them are tough guys, it's just that they are too fast, and when they are pierced, they don't have time to scream, and the unlucky ones behind them pounce again.

In this way, they were directly pushed to the front by the people behind them.

In this way, a row of unlucky eggs was strung on the wooden thorns, like sugar gourds sold in the market.

It's just that this sugar gourd is bloodier and more cruel.

Fortunately, there are only one or two rows of these wooden thorns, it's not that Yang Ping doesn't want to set up a few more rows, but Ansu thinks that only one or two rows of wooden thorns will work.

Because after the first two rows of wooden thorns take effect, the person in the back will notice the anomaly of the front even if they are sluggish.

And setting too many wooden thorns also wastes time, which will affect the play of other traps.

And now the actual effect also shows that Ansu's idea is right.

When the first row of wooden spikes was skewered with the soldiers of the Night Wolf Battalion, the wooden spikes were directly broken by the force of the impact under the weight of several people.

And the row of wooden thorns in the back only strung two or three people.

Because the soldiers in the rear subconsciously dodged when they found that the people in front were blocking the front.

So they entered the next trap like Cao Jiangyun.

As they avoided the trail, they suddenly felt a pain in their feet.

"It's broken, it should be tribulus terrestris."

Cao Jiangyun immediately knew in his heart that he had fallen into the trap again.

Tribulus terrestris is one of the most hated things of the steppe cavalry.

Every year, the Dayu Dynasty would scatter a large number of thistles at the important passes of the border fortress, because of the cold in the north, these thistles would be frozen in the soil solidly.

And horses running at high speeds, even if they have a thick skin, are easily pierced by these pointed thistles.

As a result, a large number of horses are completely incapacitated every year because of thistle.

Cao Jiangyun really didn't expect that the guys in this convoy would actually use the thistle terrestris used against the cavalry against themselves.

In Cao Jiangyun's opinion, these guys are simply crazy.

But the people behind him continued to charge, and he knew that he couldn't stop immediately, or he would be knocked to the ground by the people behind him.

So he had to deviate from the direction again and rush in the direction of the slope.

It didn't matter if he was biased, the person behind him was stabbed on the soles of his feet again by the thistle.

One of the hapless fellows immediately jumped up in pain, like an oversized toad.

But before he could land, the guy behind him was hit again, only this time he was in a different position than the previous one.

After he was stabbed on the soles of his feet by thistle, he immediately lifted up on one foot and jumped on one foot with both hands holding the injured soles of his feet.

From a distance, this guy looks like a duck bouncing in place.

But before he could jump twice, he was knocked to the ground by the people behind him, and then his body was covered with thistles.

The pain in his body caused him to scream immediately, but his screams didn't last long.

Because the big feet of the people behind him had already stepped over his body, and an iron thistle happened to pierce the back of his head.

"What kind of demons and monsters are these damn guys!"

Cao Jiangyun squatted on the side of the road and raised his foot to pull out the thistle terrestris on the soles of his feet, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

As the night wolf of the night wolf battalion, he commanded the night wolf camp and participated in dozens of raids, large and small, and he had never encountered such a thing.

In less than half an hour since they charged, they had already lost a dozen people and several horses.

And they didn't even see each other's faces, which simply made Cao Jiangyun feel so aggrieved that he was about to explode.

Just when Cao Jiangyun wanted to bandage his feet briefly, he suddenly heard exclamations and screams from the back of the team.

He couldn't help but look towards the back of the group.

At this glance, Cao Jiangyun's heart twitched violently, and then he immediately dragged his injured foot and limped forward.

He was as quick as he had been before he was injured.

"I'll go to your grandma, you damn guys, may you have a son without Dingding!"

Cao Jiangyun scolded loudly while running.

However, his scolding was quickly muffled by the screams coming from behind.

At this time, the hopeless army in the rear all spotted the burning wagons rushing towards them.

In the face of the raging fire and the horses galloping at full speed, fear quickly took over everyone's hearts.

It's instinct, and the hopeless people of the Hopeless Army are no exception.

Quite a few people began to dodge in both directions.

It's just a vertical mountain wall on one side and a steep slope on the other.

The group of people leaning against the mountain wall were lucky, and they managed to dodge the flaming carriage that was rushing in.

However, there were also some guys who were burned by the flames of the carriage.

These guys immediately held their heads and clothes for a while, and finally extinguished the flames above their heads, and their whole heads had turned into a steaming boiled egg.

Although the appearance is a little miserable, the little life is finally saved.

Compared to these lucky guys, the ones who hid towards the slope suffered much more miserable.

When they rolled up the slope, they thought they would be able to safely avoid the burning carriage, but the slope was too steep and they began to roll down the slope.

It's not a big problem if you just roll away, as long as you can stop next, the most you can do is to make some effort to climb up again.

But when they started rolling, they began to feel their bodies stabbing with sharp things.

Soon their bodies were covered with wounds, and the blood immediately stained them into blood gourds.

Until they were completely unconscious, it was not clear what exactly was killing them.

They didn't know that they had been killed by the wooden thorns, just like their companions who had been strung into sugar gourds.

It's just that those guys have become sugar gourds, and they have become hob meat.

During the day, Ansu asked Qi Ning to arrange a part of the manpower to densely insert short sharpened wooden thorns on this slope.

This slope becomes a terrifying spiky chopping board, and these unlucky guys will get a taste of what it feels like to be in hell as soon as they roll up.

Now the entire Night Wolf Battalion and the Hopeless Army have been completely thrown into chaos.

Although they were all running fast, the soldiers of the Night Wolf Battalion in front were worried about the traps that suddenly appeared.

The Hopeless soldiers behind them were worried about the flaming carriage chasing after them.

Tai Jizi once said to Li Yi: People's joys and sorrows are different, and the taste of life is like people drinking water and knowing their own warmth.

But if Tai Jizi was here at this time, Li Yi could tell him with certainty that although he didn't know if this group of people still had joy, their grief would definitely be the same.

And at this moment, Qi Ning, who was standing on the top of the cliff, looked at the team below and couldn't help but sigh: The predecessor is really a master who is not only a master of martial arts, but also has quite a lot of achievements in trap mechanisms.
