Chapter 2 Catch them all
Although two small flags that were outposts were injured by the trap, they did not attract much attention in Ji Chang'an's team.
It's just that now, with the addition of three injuries in the Maharaja, the speed of travel has become a little slower.
Ji Changan originally rode side by side with Fang Zhongjin, but he noticed that Fang Zhongjin was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Do you think there is anything strange about this trap?"
Fang Zhongjin frowned and said, "I can't figure out any clues, but it's really a little strange." Your two brothers were not wounded in the mountains, but on the ridges.
There were no wild beasts in the ridges, but there were often villagers who took shortcuts to walk in them. If the trap is placed here, is it intended to trap passers-by?"
Ji Changan nodded and said, "Could it be that animal traps are placed there to prevent thieves from stealing grain from the fields?"
Fang Zhongjin said: "Now that the autumn harvest has passed, even the straw in the field has been cut down by the farmers and burned in the stove, so it is said that no one will steal from the field." ”
Ji Changan said again: "Maybe the farmers were careless, and the trap that was put down more than half a year ago forgot to be removed today?"
Fang Zhongjin nodded slowly, the situation that Ji Changan said was indeed possible.
But he still frowned. The trap was made of fine iron, more than twice as large as an ordinary trap.
These brocade guards had never seen the days of poor peasants, so naturally they couldn't detect the strangeness inside.
Although there are occasional cases of stealing grain in the countryside, everyone is digging in the same land, and even a warning does not justify killing them all.
In addition, most of the farmers don't have much money, and even if they want to make animal traps, they won't waste so much money, and most of them just get a random one to scare the villagers.
And this trap is not only well-made, but also very tight. If it weren't for Fang Zhongjin's internal force to be released, he was really not sure that he could forcibly straighten the iron spring without touching the wound.
It can be seen that the person who set up the ambush in advance originally intended to directly cripple the person who stepped on the trap.
How much hatred is this to brew such intentions?
In the end, Fang Zhongjin only said one sentence: "I hope everything is my concern." In short, everyone had to march more cautiously. ”
Ji Changan nodded and smiled: "I take care of this!"
After saying that, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Brothers, listen, Fang Gongzi wants everyone to be more careful in the march, and put this in my heart for me!"
His internal strength was not weak, although he was at the front of the team, but the whole team heard it clearly from front to back.
Immediately, more than 500 brocade guards responded in unison: "Obey!"
This shout was really deafening, and it spread far away. Even if there are villains in ambush, they will be startled by this neat call.
As the team marched, Fang Zhongjin and the others finally came to a relatively narrow mountain gap.
A place like this is the most convenient for ambushes. Under the supervision of Ji Changan, everyone walked forward extra carefully.
At last, when they were about to get out of the mountain gap and did not encounter any gangsters, just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard the neighing of the two horses in front, and they stood up.
It turned out that the two horses did not know what mechanism they were stepping on, and they actually popped out two tripwires made of thin wire from the flat ground.
Ji Changan was sure that they were indeed being targeted, so he hurriedly dismounted with Fang Zhongjin to check.
I saw that there was a clever mechanism on this tripwire, and after stepping on the first one, the second one would bounce up.
Such a mechanism is so ingenious that if you just search with your eyes, you will not be able to find the tripwires hidden in the dead grass.
And the stumbling rope was straight, and the wire was thin and tough. If a man or a fast horse rushes into this iron wire, it is not just a matter of tripping.
Maybe the entire front hooves or calves will be cut off.
Fang Zhongjin's heart sank, and the opponent's methods were increasing again. I don't know what other powerful moves are behind me.
Suddenly he shouted, "Not good!"
Everyone was still amazed, only Ji Changan was also aware. Their team of more than 500 people was walking like a serpent in the mountain gaps.
But now the vanguard has stopped, and the ranks that follow are still moving forward. More than 500 people gathered in one place at one time, and it was the best time to catch them all!
Both of them hurriedly looked up at their surroundings, trying to find the ambush with their superior eyesight.
At this time, I heard the crowd shouting, "Not good!"
These people are not aware of the situation they are in now, but they really realize that the situation is not good!
As everyone looked at it, they saw that the wild grass on the wall of a mountain was actually burning!
It is late autumn, the grass and trees are withering, and the mountain wind is blowing strongly.
Once the weed was lit, it burned like a fiery dragon all the way down the mountain.
This fire is so strong, not to mention that the brocade guards don't bring water dragons, even if everyone carries the water tank, they can't extinguish the fire dragon from top to bottom.
All the brocade guards are terrible in their hearts, they have experienced a lot of storms, but they didn't expect to die in this ghost gate!
The prince even lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked at the fire dragon rushing down in shock. He clutched the lattice with both hands, and his knuckles were already white.
The mind that is always inexhaustible in the usual small abacus is now a blank, and no matter what ideas can be thought of.
Ji Changan was quite steady, and he pushed Fang Zhongjin and said, "The opponent is coming for our Jinyi Guard." You go first, and I will settle any grievances with them. ”
After that, he pulled out the embroidered spring knife hanging from his waist, raised his head and shouted: "Which way is my brother?
Ji Changan can still maintain extraordinary composure in this dead situation, and this alone is too ordinary.
It's just that although Ji Chang'an's voice was loud and repeatedly stirred in this canyon, no one stood up to answer.
At this moment, Ji Changan and Fang Zhongjin are at the mouth of the mountain gap, although they don't know how many mechanisms there are outside, but there is still room to run out of the sea of fire.
But the other five hundred Jinyi guards were either burned alive here, or trampled each other to death.
The person who set up the mechanism is very deep-minded, and he also hates Jinyiwei to the core, and he is bent on killing them all!
Fortunately, the brocade guards are unruly on weekdays, and they are quite well-trained at critical moments.
Since Ji Changan did not give the order to march immediately, everyone was also nailed to the same place, and no one began to flee in panic.
More than 500 pairs of eyes watched in unison as the fire burned downward, and it seemed that it was about to burn in front of them.
At this time, everyone burst into an exclamation, and it turned out that a figure was rushing towards the direction of the fire dragon with a heavy sword in his hand.
This person is not an outsider, it is Fang Zhongjin who has a plan in his heart.
