One after another, the war horses stood up, threw the Hun cavalry on their horses away, and ran around.
After running a few steps, the four hooves of the war horse gave way, and its huge body fell forward, falling to the ground with a thud. A popping sound sounded, like the sound of sharp thorns popping a balloon. The horse quickly appeared under the body.
There were pools of blood on all the horses running on the official road, without exception.
The soldier with better riding skills among the cavalry clamped the horse tightly with his legs, trying to comfort the horse and make it calm down.
However, the war horse was severely injured and continued to run wildly.
The more this happened, the more the war horses screamed in pain, and the soldiers on the horses were also thrown off. The cavalry fell off the horse, landed on their butts, and screamed immediately because they felt a sharp thorn placed under their buttocks, which stabbed them directly.
It entered the buttocks, and there was a heartbreaking pain.
Huchuquan reined in his horse and shouted, "What's going on? What happened again?"
The war horse raised its front hooves, stood in mid-air, and then stamped hard on the ground.
"Xi Yu Yu!"
The moment the hoof fell, the body of the war horse trembled. In an instant, the horse's back swung violently, knocking Huchuquan off the horse like other war horses. The warhorse ran forward crazily, and the Huchuquan people were there.
In the air, I could clearly see the front hooves of the war horse with two traces of blood red. The blood was like a drop, and it soon dyed the ground red.
Huchuquan didn't have time to think too much, and he landed on his buttocks. After his buttocks hit the ground, he felt as if he had been hit hard with a blunt instrument, and immediately felt pain that penetrated his bone marrow from both buttocks.
"ah!!"
An extremely high-pitched scream resounded through the official road, and Hu Chuquan suddenly stood up.
"ah!!"
As soon as he stood up, he felt his left foot stepped on a sharp object and was poked in the foot.
Huchuquan reacted very quickly, immediately retracted his feet, and then gently put his feet on the ground, looking at the surrounding situation vigilantly. At this moment, Huchuquan still had two blood-red marks hanging on his buttocks, which were very obvious, and
Blood flowed from his buttocks, and the hot and moist blood left behind, making Huchuquan's two trouser legs stained red with blood.
Hu Chuquan frowned, endured the pain coming from his butt and left foot, and shouted: "Come here, go take a closer look and see what happened?"
He glanced around and found nothing unusual.
However, the war horse bled to death and the soldiers were injured. It was obvious that there was an ambush. The soldiers who were investigating the situation cautiously stepped forward and looked at the situation carefully. Huchuquan also squatted down with difficulty and stared at his butt.
place, gently pushed aside the soil on the ground, and looked at the sharp weapon that stabbed his butt.
After looking carefully, I found that the soil on the ground had just been filled in and was very fluffy.
Press hard and the soil will sink immediately.
There are many iron caltrops placed in the soil, and the spikes are covered by the soil, making them difficult to find.
At this moment, Huchuquan also knew the situation.
Obviously, this is another trap set by the Shu army. They dug countless small holes on the road, then placed the iron caltrops and filled them with fluffy soil. As long as the war horses rushed over and stepped on them, they would immediately
This caused the soil to sink. At the same time, the caltrops protruded and pierced the horseshoes of the war horses.
The soldier fell to the ground, causing the soil to sink, and the caltrops to stab the soldier. In this way, Huchuquan was stabbed in both buttocks, and now he can't even ride his horse.
Huchuquan discovered the problem, and the soldiers who went to find out the news also came back.
Hu Chuquan said: "I have discovered the specific situation. Let's check how far away such a trap is."
"yes!"
The soldier immediately went to inquire about it and quickly came back.
One of the soldiers said loudly: "Reporting to the Great Chanyu, the trap with spikes is only about ten feet long. As long as the trap on the ground is removed, we can continue on our way."
Huchuquan shouted: "Okay, immediately pull out the sinkhole in the ground and prepare to move forward."
After suffering repeated setbacks, Huchuquan was already filled with resentment.
He stared at the direction of the Shu army's camp, wishing to kill him immediately. Huchuquan glanced at the soldiers around him and saw that the soldiers were lifeless, and he became even more angry.
In fact, during the two encounters with traps, no more than 400 soldiers were killed and less than 1,000 were injured. Compared to the 40,000 troops under Hu Chuquan’s command, the casualty ratio was very laughable. But it had the greatest impact.
The most important thing is the morale of the army. As the saying goes, it will be full of momentum, then it will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted. The army was as powerful as a tiger at the beginning, and it was eager to take revenge when it encountered an ambush, but now it is a little afraid.
Are there any traps ahead?
Such thoughts appeared in the mind of every Hun soldier.
Hu Chuquan also had this idea in his mind, but he was eager to take revenge and continue to move forward. The traps on the ground were quickly cleared. Hu Chuquan lay prone on his horse with his butt in the air, enduring the waves of attacks.
In pain, he shouted: "Keep moving forward and enter the Shu army camp. I will not give up until I kill the Shu army."
"Boom!"
The uninjured Hun cavalry continued on their way and launched another charge.
With the precedent of the previous two times, the momentum of the soldiers' charge weakened and the speed was not very fast. Once encountering an emergency, the Huns cavalry could immediately rein in their horses and deal with the unexpected situation. They ran for dozens of feet continuously, all
The journey went smoothly without any problems, and the soldiers gradually became more courageous.
Huchuquan snorted in his heart and said secretly: "It is absolutely impossible to scare this Shanyu back."
He continued to run forward with his soldiers, getting more and more excited, thinking about entering the Shu army camp, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. However, when he moved his body, he pulled the wound on his buttocks again, and it was painful.
Mouth is cold.
The Huns cavalry continued on their way, ran for more than a hundred feet, and suddenly stopped again.
All the soldiers stared at the road ahead, dumbfounded, reining in their horses and wondering what to do?
Huchuquan looked around and frowned. Because on the official road ahead, there were wooden stakes as thick as arms stuck into the ground, densely packed like plum blossom piles.
Countless wooden stakes blocked the road, making it impossible for the war horses to rush through. The official road ahead was more than sixty feet wide, and wooden stakes inserted into the ground were scattered all over the road. Even Huchuquan wanted to pass through on both sides of the road.
, is also impossible. Fortunately, this time there are only wooden stakes blocking the road, and there are no sharp weapons to hurt people.
Huchuquan pointed at the two Huns soldiers beside him and shouted: "Go and pull it out and see if it can be pulled out."
The two cavalrymen dismounted and walked forward cautiously.
The two of them carefully looked ahead to avoid anything unusual. When they came to the wooden pile, the two soldiers first looked down at the ground, and then carefully looked at the wooden pile. When they saw that there was no trap, they reached out and grabbed the wooden pile.
.
"drink!"
The two soldiers shouted at the same time and prepared to pull out the stakes.
However, the wooden stake stood firmly on the ground, and no matter how hard they tried, it could not move at all.
From this point of view, these wooden piles must have been buried very deep into the soil, and the soil must have been pressed tightly when the wooden piles were buried in the ground, so that the soldiers could not pull them out. The two soldiers looked at each other and nodded.
He turned around and came to Hu Chuquan's side and carefully explained the situation ahead.
Hu Chuquan sneered and said: "It's just rows of wooden stakes. It's not surprising. Everyone go up and take down the wooden stakes on the ground."
