The army continued on its way, heading towards Hanxing County.
However, after walking for two and a half hours, the army had to stop.
The reason is that there are scattered caltrops scattered on the road. For infantry, these things can be walked carefully to avoid guessing the caltrops, but for the broken military camp led by Zhao Yun, they are undoubtedly
The big killer blocked the way of Pojunying, so Pojunying had to stop.
When Wang Can saw the caltrops on the ground, he frowned and his eyes flashed with blazing anger.
Needless to say, these iron caltrops were obviously brought out by the barbarians to stop the army.
Wang Can looked at the caltrops all over the ground and kept thinking. Judging from the current situation, it has reached the point where the barbarians found by Ma Teng must be dealt with, otherwise the army will rush to Hanxing County and the day lilies will be cold.
Already.
Therefore, Wang Can urged Zhou Cang to find someone familiar with the local situation as soon as possible.
But the army was on its way, with no village in front and no store behind, so Zhou Cang could only act in a hurry.
Although there were many caltrops on the road, Wang Can had tens of thousands of troops and it was easy to clear them away. After the infantry picked up the caltrops one by one, the army continued to move forward.
However, Wang Can felt very uneasy in his heart.
He was very uncomfortable with being affected passively in this way.
The current situation is that the place where the Hu people settled has not been explored, and the specific situation here is not known. Wang Can can only endure it and wait until he finds a guide who is familiar with the situation to stabilize the situation.
After lunch, the soldiers rested for half an hour and then continued to move forward.
In the afternoon, the barbarians sprinkled caltrops on them one after another or used other methods to stop them.
All in all, the journey was very slow.
Wang Can was full of anger, but had nowhere to vent. He was on the verge of exploding. All day long, Wang Can's face was gloomy and he said nothing. When Zhou Cang saw Wang Can's expression, he was filled with guilt, but had nothing to say.
It can be said that he has sent nearly a hundred soldiers to find someone, but it is really difficult to find someone who is familiar with the situation.
Because the guide you are looking for must be familiar with the situation in Xiliang, and it is not enough to just pick up a common person in a corner.
If you want to ask for directions, just ask anyone.
However, Wang Can needed someone who could guide him for a long time, so it was difficult to find him. This also made Zhou Cang very troubled, and his hair turned a few gray.
The day passed like this.
As night fell, the army set up camp in an open area.
Because of the situation last night, the arrangements in the camp seemed more relaxed and easy to arrange. Soldiers patrolled the camp one by one and were responsible for the safety of the camp.
At this time, a hundred meters away from the camp, more than a hundred Hu people were quietly walking towards the camp.
Their purpose is to disrupt Wang Can's camp again.
Last night, the Hu people dispatched all their troops, but did not achieve much effect. This time, the Hu people learned their lesson and only sent a small number of personnel to harass. In this way, those who move at night can rest during the day, and those who rest at night can rest during the day.
Action, the leader of the Hu people came up with such a method and felt quite proud.
The group of people walked forward slowly.
"ah!!"
Suddenly, a sudden loud shout rang out from the barbarians.
The roaring voice was pitiful and shrill, as if one's own father and mother had died, as sad and heartbroken, and as if one's descendants had been kicked off their roots. The voice was simply roaring at the top of one's throat, making people panic.
Immediately afterwards, there were sounds one after another.
The screams came one after another, and the faces of the barbarians were earth-colored and painful.
The Hu people who screamed loudly were all because of the pain coming from their feet. When they stepped on the ground, they immediately felt sharp iron piercing the soles of their feet.
Not only one or two barbarians were suddenly stabbed, but many of them.
Because it was dark and the Hu people were here to cause trouble, they did not dare to use torches, so they could not see what was placed on the ground. When the injured Hu people could not stand steadily and collapsed on the ground, there was another heartbreaking sound.
The pain of split lungs, a sharp iron instrument piercing the buttocks, the pain was excruciating.
Continuous screams were heard, and Hu Cai buried his head, close to the ground, and looked at what was on the ground.
However, they found that the ground was covered with caltrops.
At this moment, all the barbarians' eyes widened, and there was a gurgling sound in their throats.
These caltrops were all thrown on the ground during the day to stop Wang Can's army. However, now they became Wang Can's sharp weapon and stabbed dozens of barbarians.
If you look carefully, you will find that the iron caltrops on the ground form a circle, placed about a hundred meters away from the camp. As long as the barbarians walk in, and the barbarians do not use torches, they cannot see clearly what is on the ground.
It was easy to fall prey to the trap, and many people had their feet pierced by caltrops.
One hundred people were in commotion because of the iron caltrops.
At this time, all the Hu people felt very regretful. If they had known better, they would not have used the caltrops.
When the Hu commander learned that he had been attacked, he immediately ordered to retreat.
However, dozens of the hundreds of people were injured and could not move, making it difficult to retreat. And when he gave the order, soldiers suddenly appeared around him.
These soldiers held torches and surrounded more than a hundred barbarians.
Under the illumination of the torch, the soldiers were like magic soldiers descending from the sky, which made the Hu people's hearts sink.
They were mourning for their heirs, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Among the soldiers, the leaders were Chen Dao and Zhang Ren. Chen Dao stared at the barbarian who looked lonely, staggered in pain, and grinned. He shouted in a cold voice: "Commander Guo has long expected that you might make some moves at night.
,Humph, a group of fools finally showed up on their own."
He waved his hand, and immediately soldiers slowly pressed forward.
There were Han soldiers all around, and there were iron caltrops behind them, so the Hu people had no way to escape.
Moreover, many Hu people were injured and had no strength to fight, so they were easily defeated. Although some Hu people were tough and resisted, not all of them had the courage to fight. In the end, the soldiers killed
He killed more than 30 Hu people and captured the remaining dozens of Hu people, and won the victory.
In this way, the trap arranged by Guo Jia finally came into use.
In the camp, Wang Can looked at the tied up barbarians, with a violent look in his eyes. The barbarians' little actions made him irritated, and he was so depressed that he wanted to kill someone. Wang Can took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Cang, and ordered
: "Zhou Cang, these barbarians are handed over to you for interrogation. Ask them carefully about the situation. If you find out where the barbarians are located, come and report them immediately."
"promise!"
Zhou Cang replied and ordered the soldiers to take the captured barbarians down.
Wang Can looked at Chen Dao, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others, and ordered: "You all go down and rest. I will send someone to inform you when there is news."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun and others retreated one after another.
At this time, Wang Can was also waiting for news in the big tent.
For half an hour, Zhou Cang did not come to report the news; for an hour, Zhou Cang still did not send anyone to report the news...
Wang Can waited for more than an hour, but still couldn't wait. In the end, Wang Can simply lay on the bed, waiting for Zhou Cang to report the news. In fact, Wang Can could ask Zhou Cang to report the news tomorrow, but the barbarians came out to harass during the day.
If he did not return to his base, the Hu people leading the troops would definitely become suspicious and would probably move their base, so Wang Can had to wait for news.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Cang finally found out where the Hu people were stationed.
When he arrived at Wang Can's camp, Wang Can was sleeping soundly. However, the matter was very important and urgent, so Zhou Cang asked Dian Wei to inform Wang Can.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Cang entered the camp.
Wang Can asked directly: "Zhou Cang, is the news reliable?"
This is the issue that Wang Can is most concerned about. Once the information is unreliable, his work will be in vain. Zhou Cang nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, my lord, the general will interrogate the Hu people individually, not all the Hu people together.
So I will check the answers from the interrogation and confirm that the information is reliable."
After Wang Can heard this, he felt relieved.
His grandmother had been disgusted by the barbarians for nearly two days, and she could finally take revenge.
Ps: The fourth update is completed and I’m calling it a day. I’m asking for flowers on the last day of the weekend.
