Xue Rengui lay down in the grass, looking at the Dashi army strutting forward down the hillside.
Seeing that the big cannibal is about to step into a minefield,
Xue Rengui reached out and gestured to the Marines behind him.
boom!
There was an explosion, sand and rocks flew up, and a big hole appeared on the ground!
A camel carrying a large cavalry fell down, and the unsuspecting cavalry was directly pressed under the camel.
Two nearby camels were also injured. The painful camels were not controlled by the cavalry and ran wildly to both sides.
Immediately afterwards,
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A few more loud noises!
The sudden explosion under their feet caused the unprepared Dashi Cavalry to panic!
Before the big eater could figure out what was going on, there were arrows falling like raindrops from the top of his head.
The panicked giant eater hurriedly evaded, but then went further into the minefield.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Continuous explosions continued to sound, and now the cannibal was even more panicked.
"Stop moving forward!"
"Everyone stand back!"
There are also some big cannibals who stay calm in the face of danger. They find that the explosion only occurs in the front and nothing happens behind them.
So I shouted loudly, don't go any further.
The big cannibals who ran back one after another found that there was no explosion again.
Moreover, they also discovered that the rain of arrows shot from the nearby hillside was not very dense.
The big eater also knew that there weren’t many people hiding in the nearby hillside.
So the big cannibal who fell into panic slowly calmed down and began to organize a counterattack.
A large food commander pointed the scimitar in his hand toward the hillside on the left.
A group of large food cavalry rushed over with a roar!
Xue Rengui and several sharpshooters behind him, holding divine crossbows in their hands, pulled the trigger on the Dashi officer who was commanding the counterattack.
Before Officer Dashi dropped his arm pointing towards the hillside, he fell off the camel's back with several thick arrows stuck in his body.
Xue Rengui put down the divine crossbow in his hand and raised his telescope to observe the battlefield.
The marksman behind him shook the handle and cocked the divine crossbow in his hand.
This type of steel crossbow requires mechanical assistance to be cocked. It has a very long range and good shooting accuracy. It is very suitable for officers who snipe enemies from a long distance.
The death of the chief did not give the Great Eater any pause. The cavalry continued to charge towards the hillside where Xue Rengui and the others were.
The hillside is just a fork of the hill on the left side of the road. It is a low mound. The slope is not very steep. The cavalry can climb it without getting off their camels.
Da Shiren knew that there were not many Tang troops on the hillside, so he rushed towards the hillside.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Another series of explosions sounded,
Xue Rengui had already laid mines along the route of the cannibal charge.
The cavalryman who had just rushed to the foot of the hillside quickly grabbed the reins, turned around and ran back.
After exiting the shooting range of the crossbow, the big cannibal stared at the Tang army on the hillside in front of him and gritted his teeth.
Of course, the big cannibal couldn't just admit defeat. Several officers discussed it and sent another group of cavalry to charge over.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosions of landmines kept ringing, but this time the cannibal didn't retreat!
The giant eater rushed madly up the hillside with the arrows raining on his head and the mines exploding at his feet.
After a short period of panic and panic, the big eater gradually understood.
The kind of gunpowder bombs buried underground should explode if stepped on.
But the lethality is not very great, and the Tang Dynasty people buried them quite sparsely, with only one found far away.
In this situation, the big cannibal decided to rush up the hillside at the risk of death and wipe out the hundreds of Tang people on it.
It’s not that Xue Rengui didn’t want to bury the landmines more densely.
It's just that there isn't much of this stuff, it's simply not enough.
The firing devices of landmines and grenades were still a bit complicated for the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, and they were very difficult to make.
So regardless of mines and grenades, Su Chen couldn't bring many this time.
This is the first time mines have been used.
The big eater braved the rain of arrows, stepped on the mines, and rushed madly up the hillside regardless of casualties.
But as soon as he took two steps, both people and their mounts fell to the ground.
Several big man-eaters jumped off their camels in fear, thinking that the Tang Dynasty had pulled a horse rope in the grass, and hurriedly dug through the grass to look for it.
After digging through the grass, they did find the Tang Dynasty's horse tripping rope, but it was different from the horse tripping ropes they had seen before. The Tang people's horse tripping rope was made of iron!
Xue Rengui installed countless wires densely in the grass.
If the big eater wants to go up the hillside, he must first destroy all these wires in the rain of arrows.
Otherwise, no matter how many people come, they will trip over and fall down.
Xue Rengui asked the marines to continue shooting, and he raised his binoculars to look behind the big eater, feeling very anxious:
If Master Sun Ren, who had gone around to the rear of the cannibal, couldn't arrive in time, he would be in big trouble.
The three hundred people of my own are far from being a match for the three thousand cannibals.
A wire set in the grass won't last long as a cannibal.
That thing is a big man-eater and can cut off one of them with just one knife.
Fortunately, Master Sun Ren didn't delay for long. Not long after, Xue Rengui saw dust flying from behind the big eater through the telescope!
The Big Eater has obviously discovered that there are enemy troops behind him.
He immediately gave up on Xue Rengui and hurriedly reorganized his formation to deal with the enemy rushing from behind.
The road ahead is full of mines, and there are hundreds of Tang troops on the hillside beside the road.
There are enemies from the rear outflanking again.
Only then did Da Shiren realize that he was intercepted by the Tang army at both ends.
Now there are only two ways in front of the cannibal. Either continue to move forward, brave the rain of arrows from the Tang army in front, and walk through the minefield regardless of casualties.
Or just turn around and fight to the death with the enemy troops outflanking you from the rear to fight your way out.
The Great Eaters chose the second option without hesitation, because they did not know how many landmines the Tang Army had laid ahead.
Compared with the unknown dangers ahead, the enemies behind are not so scary.
Moreover, the cannibal scouts also came back to report that there were not many enemies outflanking us from behind!
The Big Eater reorganized his formation and saw that the enemy was less than a kilometer away from him.
The distance was closer, and the big eater could clearly see the number of enemies rushing up from behind.
It turned out that there were only about five hundred cavalry!
The big eaters were all furious. The people of Tang Dynasty looked down on people too much. There are more than two thousand people here. How dare you, five hundred of them, rush up from behind?
The commander-in-chief of Dashi immediately ordered the entire army to charge, preparing to directly defeat the Tang army from behind.
Master Sun Ren and Liu Jingren murmured in their hearts as they led five hundred cavalrymen forward quickly:
Xue Rengui, a bastard, must be more reliable and make more noise, otherwise it will be difficult for him to have 500 people on his side!
At this time, Xue Rengui looked at the position of the big eater and said happily: "The big eater is standing on a set of gunpowder, why don't you light it quickly?"
