Chapter 260: Heartbreaker, Poisonous. Into the secret sound, the legend counts (ten) traps
PS: (Today, I will continue to thank the book friend "The Matter Group is Yuan" for the reward!) My work "Dragon Undefeated" has released a new chapter "Chapter 260 Lost Heart, Poisonous.") Into the Secret Sound, Legend Count (10) Trap", http:///Book/3058817.aspx)
For a while, the soldiers of the Liao Emperor Army panicked, not knowing whether to continue to block the stone-throwing cart with bows and arrows, or turn the arrows to shoot the menacing cavalry, and the longbow in their hands couldn't help but hang down.
"Don't be afraid, continue to shoot arrows at the stone tools, I have long been guarding against them!" As soon as the majestic and pristine order of Dongfang Undefeated came out, the 20,000 sergeants immediately calmed down, re-opened their bows and arrows, and fired at the enemy gunners.
Just a few days later, tens of thousands of elite cavalry of the rebels had rushed within a few hundred paces of the undefeated front in the east, silent, swords unsheathed, and the sound of huge horses' hooves enveloped in a cold murderous aura, like a huge javelin stabbing into the camp of the imperial army.
It should be known that although there is a ditch outside the wall that is one and a half zhang wide and about five feet deep, and the ditch is filled with water from the surrounding rivers, but the enemy's elite cavalry is large, but it is not so much that the ditch can be blocked, and the wooden wall is more than one zhang high, and it is really unable to withstand the repeated impact of the cavalry.
Amid the roar of horses' hooves, the rising tide of rebel cavalry approached.
When the soldiers were worried and uncertain in the face of the enemy horsemen, Dongfang was undefeated but smiled confidently. Calmly and leisurely, he swiped lightly from north to south with a finger, not afraid of tens of thousands of killing voices that shook the sky and the wind came to the elite horse, and said loudly: "Let me go down!"
All of a sudden, "huh", "poof", "whew", and "ouch" rang out -- "huh" was an unexpected exclamation of a person. "Poof" is the muffled sound of a man and a horse falling into a deep pit, "hoo" is the neighing sound of a horse in pain when its hooves touch the bottom of the pit, and "ouch" is the sound of a person screaming in pain when he falls off the horse's back.
Dongfang's undefeated subordinates looked around, only to see a large number of cavalry in front of them disappear on the flat ground for no reason, and when they looked closely, it turned out that they had all fallen into rows of traps.
Some of the soldiers couldn't help but be curious and jumped up the wall. Carefully observing the row of pits closest to the position, it was found that as long as one corner of it was trampled by the horse's hooves and collapsed, the earth and rocks within a radius of three zhang would suddenly collapse.
With a booming sound. Bands of cavalry were all caught in traps near and far.
Although the pits that are one and a half people high are not deep, coupled with the speed of the horse, people will inevitably be hit with crooked noses and mouths after falling in, and the people in the front row will fall in. The people behind didn't have time to rein in their horses before they caught up. Many of the pits were filled in and trampled by the descendants, and many people even made the back pedals in mid-air, so the cavalry who rushed to the front suffered the most casualties, and when they were crying for their fathers and mothers, the knights who followed them continued to move forward ignorantly until they also fell into the big pit in front of them.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen rows of huge pits swallowed up countless men and horses, and only a few lucky cavalry were able to stay on the ground. But the total strength of the army has gone by ten or eighty percent.
The tens of thousands of people charged into these pits like throwing a handful of fine sand onto a table full of pits. The pits were filled with holes, and there was not much sand left. The thousands of survivors at the end of the thieves saw that the tide was gone, and they fled.
Dongfang Undefeated saw the embarrassment of the other party, and immediately waved his jade hand and ordered the sergeants: "Follow me, go and catch them back!" As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped off the wooden wall, carried light skills, and swiped across the water in the ditch in front of the wall, and flashed quickly and incomparably to the sides of the big pits, "pop", "snap", "snap", "pop
Seeing that the commander was taking the lead, her men also dispelled their previous fears, and instead a strong fighting spirit was ignited in their breasts, and they immediately took ropes and planks, and rushed over the wooden walls, built bridges and ditches with planks, and then swung spears and broadswords to trap the rebel cavalry in the trap so that they could not escape.
In fact, most of the tens of thousands of people in the pit are still alive, only the bottom of the pit was crushed to death, the middle one was trampled by the horse and the bones were broken and a number of tendons were broken, most of them were stabbed by the long knives that their own people had been unsheathed, and the people on the top layer were surrounded by the spears and broadswords of the imperial camp that rushed up, lying on the bodies of their colleagues, unable to move and move, unable to climb and climb out, and there were people below whose hands, feet, abdomen, and back kept moving, and the situation was embarrassing and abnormal.
All this is a masterpiece that has been quietly completed by the undefeated people of the East at night for several days.
It turned out that a few nights ago, Dongfang Undefeated mobilized the sappers of the entire imperial battalion army, secretly cut down a large number of trees on the vast mountain, and secretly dug more than a dozen rows of large pits with a diameter of three zhang and a half people and a half in front of the wooden wall every night, with more than ten in each row and a row every thirty steps.
Then Dongfang Undefeated led the crowd to jump into the bottom of the pit, and in the middle of the big pit stood a few thick square logs, and then with these few logs as the center, a few more square logs were erected around it, and then on the top of these woods, the horizontal logs were set up, the wood was fixed, and the pit mouth was covered little by little with thin planks, cowhides and other things, and finally a layer of sand was laid on it for camouflage.
The first few rows of these more than ten rows of giant pits are supported by square wood that is more than one person thick, and the planks are more than an inch thick, which can ensure that even people and horses can be unimpeded in a short period of time, but after being trampled for a long time, it will become loose and saggy, and it is difficult to bear the weight of one person.
And the further back the pit, the thinner the wood used to support, the thinner the plank, to the last row, can only barely let the infantry walk, as soon as the horse steps on the trap, it will be trapped, and it is "pull a hair and move the whole body", as long as the edge of the trap a plank falls, all the planks and cowhide covering the entire pit body will all fall to the bottom of the pit.
Because Dongfang Undefeated led the sappers to secretly set up the trap at night, this matter was very secretive, not to mention the people of the enemy troops, and even not many soldiers in the camp of Emperor Liao knew about it, so that the more than 20,000 officers and soldiers led by Dongfang Undefeated were worried about it just now.
After glancing around, and seeing that most of the rebel cavalry no longer resisted more, but obediently lying in the pit and waiting for the attack, Dongfang Undefeated said loudly: "Hand over your weapons, and let you out of the pit!"
When the thief knight heard this, he was speechless for a long time, and finally helplessly handed over the saber and spear to the soldiers of the imperial camp guarding outside the pit, and then the person who could still move climbed by himself, got out of the trap, and was immediately surrounded by several soldiers of the Liao Emperor Army, tied them with ropes, and escorted back to the imperial camp.
And those who were seriously injured and could no longer move, Dongfang Undefeated let them continue to lie at the bottom of the pit, and at the same time turned to observe the actions of the emperor's men, thinking: "If the enemy infantry charges at this moment, I will have to ignore these wounded soldiers for now." ”
But Yelu Chongyuan was already dumbfounded from a distance at this moment - the stones thrown by the stone thrower would fly back the same way, and there were hundreds of big pits on the flat ground inexplicably, Rao is that he is familiar with the art of war and has been in battle for a long time, and he has never seen the method of fighting in the East Undefeated, so he can only stand on the horse and lose his care.
The army under his command had no choice but to follow the commander, and did not make any move except to stand quietly in place. (To be continued......)
