Chapter 698: The Deadly Pit
"Roar - roar -" Apollo kept making wild tiger roars, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit. When he saw the enemy fleeing hastily, that cowardly behavior further aroused the ferocity in his bones.
Facing the saber-toothed tiger cavalry sweeping in like a wave, most of the soldiers around Solandel have fled. This loose formation can not only stop the domineering saber-toothed tiger, but even the thinnest war horse can trample people after charging.
Turn into meat paste.
Garrot and the royal guards rushed forward and dragged Solandel back, shouting at the top of their lungs: "Your Highness! Let's go quickly!!!"
However, how can human beings outrun ferocious beasts with two legs?
As soon as Garrot and others took Solandel and escaped a few dozen meters, the saber-toothed tiger cavalry was already chasing behind them.
Apollo seemed to have seen the state of these enemies being smashed to pieces. He raised his heavy knife towards Solandel and shouted with enthusiasm: "I will use your skull as a bowl!"
"Boom -" Without warning, with a deafening roar, a severe sense of weightlessness suddenly spread throughout Apollo's body.
Time seemed to be stretched infinitely at this moment. Apollo's eyes were falling. When he glanced at Solandel, he found that the panic and fear on that little face had long since disappeared, replaced by a high-pitched and fierce look.
Her blue eyes reflected the disintegrating ice and snow, staring at him coldly.
This look means: You are finished!
"Ah!!!" Apollo roared unwillingly, and together with the out-of-control saber-toothed tiger beneath him, they fell into a deep pit formed by the collapse of the ice.
This deep pit extends inward for more than 40 meters from the entrance of the canyon. It is a large trap!
Solandel knew very well that the highly mobile saber-toothed tiger cavalry was the biggest threat to everyone on the way to evacuate. If they could not be eliminated in an organized manner, everyone might not have any chance to evacuate to the Cold Valley, and they must find a way to eat them.
However, with the current situation of being short of men and horses, a head-on battle with the saber-toothed tiger cavalry would be tantamount to suicide. She could only win through cunning tactics, so she thought of this move when she retreated to the canyon.
She first asked the soldiers to form a shield wall, which seemed to be blocking the rear, but in fact it was blocking the enemy's sight and providing cover for the placement of traps.
At the same time, Garrot and the royal guards used the sun's golden fire to melt the ice surface, evaporating the snow water to form a deep pit, and placed many dead branches on top of it. After watering, it refrozen into the ice surface.
.
The thickness of the ice in this kind of trap has been carefully calculated by Solandel. It doesn't matter if your own personnel run on it, but heavy units like the saber-tooth tiger cavalry with both humans and animals running wildly on it, and the number reaches a certain level, the ice
They will be crushed and fall into a deep pit.
The biggest difficulty in this plan is how to lure the saber-toothed tiger cavalry to charge into the formation and let them step into the trap.
In order to achieve this goal, Solandel decided to take a gamble. She stayed as a bait and asked the soldiers to perform a "rout" scene. The bet was that these saber-tooth tiger cavalry were ferocious by nature and would lose their composure when they saw the remaining soldiers being defeated and escaping.
, thereby luring the enemy to penetrate deeper.

This was an extremely dangerous move. If the tribal warriors were more cautious and would not be fooled, they would keep their distance and shoot with heavy crossbows. If not all the people behind Solandel were killed, more than half of them would be killed or injured.
However, there are no "ifs" in war. The moment Apollo got excited and led the saber-toothed tiger cavalry into the battle, Solandelle won the bet, and the original deadlock was completely revived!
When the ice collapsed, the hundreds of saber-toothed tiger cavalry at the front, including Jupiter's brother and cavalry leader Apollo, all fell into the ice. Many saber-toothed tigers died on the spot, and those who survived had countless broken bones.
A bone fell down in the pit and whined, unable to get up.
For the saber-toothed tiger cavalry in the rear, physical inertia has become the deadliest killer. They had followed Apollo in a high-speed charge. How could their advance be stopped?
A large number of saber-toothed tiger cavalry did not have time to stop, and slid into the deep pit under the influence of inertia. Even if they reacted quickly enough and pulled frantically on the ice to a stop, they would be hit by their companions further behind who had no time to react, and they would roll into a ball and fall into the pit.
For a moment, ice shards were flying at the entrance of the canyon, and the screams of tigers and howls of tribal warriors were everywhere. More than 90% of the charging saber-tooth tiger cavalry fell into the pit, and in the end, only less than a hundred people were stopped by luck!
"Fuel!" Solandel raised her arms and shouted, and the soldiers who had "fleeed" immediately changed direction, rushed to the side of the pit, and threw all the fuel prepared in advance into the pit.
Fuel bottles fell all over the sky, hitting the heads of the saber-toothed tiger cavalry who were trying to climb out. When the bottles shattered around them and the smell of fuel was smelled, the faces of these brave and capable tribal elites suddenly turned pale.
"Fire!" Solandel ordered, and everyone lit torches and threw them into the pit.
"Huh..." The fire ignited instantly in the pit filled with fuel. The vast ice field was still bitterly cold, but the deep pit in front of him turned into a terrifying flaming hell.
"Ah!!!" The screams of humans and the howls of saber-toothed tigers were heard everywhere. Both humans and tigers were completely engulfed in flames. The skin and muscles quickly dried and carbonized in the high temperature, as if they had turned into skewers on the grill, vaguely still alive.
The sizzling sound of burning fat could be heard as they rolled desperately in the pit, but they could not climb out of the fatal trap set by Solandel.
Black smoke began to rise over the ice sheet, like the god of death spitting out its black tongue, swallowing up all the lives it licked. Most of the saber-toothed tigers started bumping around, then fell to the ground and kicked their legs, and finally gradually lost their movement and were burned to death.
Coke without moisture.
The bodies of the tribal elites have undergone some kind of alienation, and their flesh and blood can grow rapidly. Their bodies have been burned by the fire over and over again, but they can always heal again. At this time, they are howling and surrounding the edge of the pit, stepping on each one.
I want to build a human ladder to escape from here.
Solandelle has witnessed this strange resilience many times before. Although she still knows nothing about its principle, she has seen it so many times that she is wary of it.
She had long thought that fuel fire alone might not be able to completely kill these "monsters", so she had a backup plan in reserve.
"Blow up the cliff! Quick!" After Solandel gave the order, the soldiers who had been lurking high on both sides of the canyon took action. They lit the fuses and ignited the gunpowder buried in the ice rocks.
"Boom -" The gunpowder exploded, and the canyon walls on both sides of the entrance collapsed in large areas. Rocks fell from the sky with a roar, and were crushed to the top of their heads amidst the desperate roars of the tribal elites. Layer after layer, they were like solid coffin boards.
They were covered and completely buried in the eternal ice.
