Chapter 44 The Last Crazy
Of course Hu Wei didn't believe him, but he still listened to the soldier finishing his story. Soon he knew that the soldier named Hu Han was a hunter and had done similar traps and mechanisms when hunting in the past. He said that destroying these mechanisms was not difficult, and he could only use the most primitive method to let the prey enter the cage.
"You said that the trap will lose its attack power as soon as it is activated..."
"The principle of the trap is here, but these traps are more complicated than my design, and should be done by a master."
Hu Han's eyes were very sharp. He even said that these traps were actually together. Only soldiers touched one of them, and the other traps were likely to be launched at the same time. This is also the reason why so many soldiers were killed and injured.
"Hu Han, what should we do to break the formation."
"Mr. Hu, can you find ten or eight carriages to come back?"
"Hu Han, don't joke, this is a wilderness, and there are carriages coming from there."
"That's bad. If there is no carriage, at least three hundred cavalry will be sacrificed to take this place."
Of course, Hu Wei would not take risks with three hundred cavalry, but it doesn't mean that no one can do it anymore. King Xiang actually heard their conversation, and in the end he actually sent three hundred cavalry to obey the order of Hu Han.
"Hu Han, if I can break the formation, I will definitely give you high officials and generous salaries and endless wealth and glory, but if you fail, you should be clear about the consequences."
"I understand!"
"very good!"
King Xiang ordered the three hundred cavalry to rush into the valley immediately. This may be because Hu Han was experienced. At first, under his leadership, no one touched the trap, but after suddenly the explosion, the war horses were all out of control. It turned out that Wen Xing buried more than a dozen homemade bombs near these traps. Although these bombs were not very powerful, these bombs were fatal to war horses.
"Everyone quickly control the war horses, otherwise everyone will die..."
"Okay, OK."
"Don't move, keep your formation..."
Hu Han finally knew the power of these traps. It can be said that he was more cautious than just now, because he knew very well that as long as he accidentally took a wrong step, not only would his life be lost, but everyone would probably be buried with him.
"Mr. Hu, what should we do now?"
"You two are now riding a horse, and I will leave the remaining horses to deal with."
Hu Han broke the formation according to his own method. He used these war horses to test it out one by one. It took him three hours and dozens of war horses to sacrifice. Hu Han finally successfully found the way into the valley.
"Your Highness, something is wrong..."
"The Xiang King broke the formation, right?"
"Your Highness, what should we do?"
"You guys go and persevere, as long as you keep it until dark, there will be no problem."
Wen Xing concluded that the King of Xiang did not dare to attack at night. After all, he had a painful experience. The King of Xiang would never dare to act rashly, let alone go on the night road. Besides, the soldiers were hungry and tired after being beaten for a day. If they didn't rest, they would probably affect the morale of the army.
"Your Highness Xiang, it will soon get dark. Will we continue to attack?"
"Hu Wei, I don't plan to attack, but the positions I finally captured cannot be returned to the enemy."
"King Xiang, what you mean is..."
"You and Hu Han took two thousand men to the valley to set up camp, remember to seize the advantageous terrain."
All of this was exactly the same as Wen Xing expected, King Xiang really did not dare to make a rash move. However, he was smarter than Wen Xing imagined and would seize the opportunity and let his men guard the valley. If he guessed correctly, King Xiang would take a large attack one day.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"We are doing nothing now, just keep our energy..."
Wen Xing ordered the two hundred elite soldiers to get proper rest, but he still made some preparations, including secretly dropping a few touching thunders in the mountain path. This kind of bomb mainly tells everyone that there is an enemy attack and that the enemy can also determine that the enemy attacks from that aspect through these explosions. Wen Xing also ordered his men to pour tinder oil on the deep forests and dense trees at the foot of the mountain, and they can set fire to the mountain if they need it.
"It's getting dawn, everyone should prepare quickly."
"Your Highness, we know what to do."
Wen Xing's prediction came true. Not long after he asked everyone to prepare, the explosion occurred. This was the vanguard of Xiang King. After Hu Han led 5,000 elite soldiers to kill him. He thought it was a great opportunity to make achievements, but he did not expect that he would be sent to death.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
Before Hu Han could figure out what was going on, his forehead had already been penetrated by the dart hidden weapon, and then the whole forest was burning. Before these soldiers could figure out what was going on, they were swallowed up by a wildfire. Although some people had escaped, they had not yet run far away to harvest the enemy behind them. In the blink of an eye, these five thousand elite soldiers actually wiped out all the men of Zhu Yunwen, and all this almost made King Xiang vomit blood.
King Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "Zhu Yunwen, I swear to kill you in person..."
King Xiang was about to take the general attack immediately after the extinguishment. In order to win Zhu Yunwen, he made a promise of heavy reward. The soldiers who helped him capture could receive a reward of 10,000 taels of gold. Wen Xing of course knew that King Xiang would launch the general attack at this time, but this was much faster than he expected. He thought that he could hold on for more than half a day and the Dragon Squad would probably arrive, but now this is impossible.
"All the soldiers, after drinking this wine, we will fight to the enemy to live and die. No matter what the result is, I owe everyone..."
"Your Highness, please don't say that."
"Soldiers, I hope everyone can live well. If we have the chance, we will drink together..."
Wen Xing left reluctantly. He knew very well that this might be the last time he saw these 200 warriors, because the King of Xiang would never let them go, even if they surrendered voluntarily, the result was the same. The soldiers also knew this truth very well, so they were also ready to fight with King of Xiang. Perhaps for them, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a benevolent monarch worth their life. Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince created miracles again and again, and used 300 elite soldiers to fight against 30,000 elite soldiers, and even if such a miracle was not seen before, even if it had never happened in previous wars, they believed that as long as they followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, such a miracle might happen.
