Chapter 268 Trap
To be honest, the warriors have an absolute psychological advantage over the Tartars. The Tartars are scumbags in front of the Hu Ben Gun. The only thing they have to do is to hit Minnie bullets on the other side before the Tartars' arrows are shot out. As for the future, there is no need to worry about them at all. Even the Tartars in iron armor cannot stop the Minnie bullets from shooting.
The problem is that the traps laid by the Tartars are indeed difficult to deal with. Some of these traps are hidden underground and the most common ones. However, the simpler the trap, the more practical and effective it is. If you accidentally fall down, there will definitely be no way out. Some mechanisms are hidden in the woods, and the most common ones are curved branches with sharpened wooden thorns tied to the branches. If you accidentally touch such a mechanism, the branches will whip over, and the spikes on it can bring down a bear. What's more, it's a person?
Some traps may also come from the top of one's head. The most common one is that there are ropes and mechanisms on the ground. If you accidentally touch them, you will tie your ankles and then pull them up to the tree. People with ankles tied will be lifted up in an instant and have no ability to resist. The target hanging in the air is the most obvious target for the Tartars lurking in the woods. An arrow flies over and close the target. Now, in the magpie forest, the corpses of officers and soldiers who are pulled into the air can be found from time to time.
The Tartars were excellent hunters. In the process of fighting wild beasts, they accumulated rich combat experience and used the uses of traps to the limit. Compared with powerful beasts, human life is too fragile. If these mechanisms and traps used to deal with wild beasts fall on humans, there is basically no possibility of survival. Fortunately, humans are smarter than wild beasts, and can distinguish these traps, avoid these traps, or destroy them.
Therefore, even the bravest guards, such as Zhang Yatie, Li Jiaxi and others, dare not be careless. In the strange magpie forest, a recklessness and impulse may ruin their lives. What they have to do is to move forward steadily, discover hidden traps as much as possible and destroy them.
"Don't hurry, take your time!"
"We have time!"
Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.
Zhang Zhun had a perfect plan to attack Tianheng Island.
Everything that is happening is within his plan.
When attacking Tianheng Island, you usually land in the direction of the Dragon King Temple and then slowly expand around. According to information, the places occupied by the Tartars were mainly magpie forest, divine turtle stone, and old fairy cave, which made the guard's attack appear orderly. Of course, it also lost the possibility of a sudden attack. In fact, it was unrealistic to launch a sudden attack in Tianheng Island, a palm-sized place, which was originally unrealistic.
Tianheng Island, which was originally beautiful and charming, has been completely unrecognizable after being ruined by the Tartars. Only the ground vegetation of the Magpie Forest is well preserved. Here, there are towering trees, dense bushes, tangled vines, and mosses extending everywhere. Here, there are various hidden sinkholes. Yes, it is the sinkhole, which are strange pits that are not known how they were made. If they fall accidentally, no one knows where they will fall, and maybe they float directly from the sea.
Yang Wenyue was caught near the Magpie Forest. Zhang Zhun had carefully observed the place where he was caught. It was a small open space surrounded by trees and the light was not very good. Some details were easily hidden here. No wonder Oboi could hide it in it and suddenly attacked. There was indeed such a prerequisite at the scene. If Zhang Zhun himself had changed, he might be able to do it.
Standing west of the magpie forest and looking at the foggy forest, Zhang Zhun also felt a little headache. Because it was on the sea, there was often fog covering the entire magpie forest. These fogs were obviously natural enemies of warriors. Especially for snipers, they were even more deadly. Fortunately, these heavy fogs were also deadly for the Tartars.
quiet.
silence.
Deadly silence.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a muffled groan came.
Anyone with combat experience can hear that this is a humming moan before death.
Song Degang couldn't help but feel his heart hopped.
Hao Linyong also gritted his teeth lightly.
They heard that some soldiers in the escort team were killed.
These traps of the Tartars are indeed fucking vicious, and they are hard to guard against!
"ah!"
Everyone's mood had not yet calmed down, and another slight scream came.
Song Degang's heart couldn't help but jump violently again.
Hao Linyong's face changed and he was about to go ahead.
How could two soldiers be killed in succession?
Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "Believe in Fang He! Believe in Liu Dong! They will deal with it!"
Hao Linyong then slowly stopped.
Stay stable!
Be sure to stay steady!
Hao Linyong kept telling himself that he must stay steady.
The battle in the Magpie Forest is not to compete with the Tartars to be braver, not to compete with who is stronger, not to compete with who is running faster, but to compete with who is more perseverance, to compete with who is more calm, to compete with who is more careful, to compete with who is more able to withstand loneliness and pain.
Tianheng Island is not large in area, and too many troops cannot be used at all. Therefore, Zhang Zhun's troops were deployed with two sailors in front and snipers in the middle. Their main task was to clear out the archers of the Tartars. Behind were Hao Linyong's second cooperative warrior, forming a scattered line, and slowly searching forward. Their mission was to establish a complete line of defense and not allow the Tartar archers to lurk in the rear of the guards.
As for the warriors of the Third Association, they were responsible for inspecting the west side of Tianheng Island, including Tianheng Stele Forest, Tianheng Temple, Tianheng Tomb, Yishi Well and other places to ensure that there were no more Tatars hidden in these places. Due to the precedent of Oboi pretending to be dead, all the actions of the guards were particularly cautious and did not miss any blind spots.
The soldiers of the sailors had already been on Tianheng Island before and were relatively familiar with the terrain here. It was naturally the most suitable for them to take the lead. As for the snipers, they were completely to cover them to crack the traps. It seemed that snipers like Dugu Lie were born as hunters and knew how to set up traps and how to remove them.
"Dugu, Jixiang, you all, be careful."
When he came to Tianheng Island, Zhang Zhun advised Dugu Lie and others with a serious expression.
The Tartars on Tianheng Island have set up a large number of traps in various places. If the soldiers want to move forward, they must destroy these traps or demolish them. At the least, they must be marked out so that the soldiers who follow behind will not be caught.
What is the best way to deal with traps?
Of course the hunter.
The person who tied the bell must be untied.
Only hunters can see through the traps set up by hunters.
Dugu Hunting is a pure hunter, while Liu Jixiang is a half hunter. They have sufficient experience in how to set up and eliminate traps. Although the traps set up by the Tartars are clever, they cannot escape the sharp eyes of the two. Of course, it takes much more time to remove the traps than to set up the traps. The danger is also much greater.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, another gunshot came.
It must be the sniper who fired the gun.
"ah!"
As the gunshots rang out, someone let out a short scream.
This time, some Tartars must have been hit.
After the two guards were killed, the Tatars finally paid their lives to repay them. There must be gains and losses, and they are reciprocating. While the guards were reducing their staff, the Tatars were also reducing their staff. On such a battlefield, it is normal for both sides to rise in casualties. When one side was unable to continue to persevere, the battle ended.
"Bang!"
Another gunshot came.
"Crazy!"
As the gunshots came, it seemed that someone fell from the top of the tree, and a large number of branches and leaves were broken. It seemed that there were Tartars hiding on the tree, and were shot by a sniper. Some Tartar archers like to lurk on the trees and shoot cold arrows from a high place. However, they were hiding on the tree, but they were also good shooting targets. As long as they were discovered by the sniper and waiting for them, they were only destined to fall freely from high altitude.
Song Degang felt his heart beating violently again. Speaking of which, he had experienced many scenes in Dengzhou guerrillas. However, in such an environment, in such an atmosphere, he still felt that his nerves were a little unbearable.
The battle on the battlefield in Liaodong is tragic, tragic, and terrifying, but it is all face-to-face fighting, and you can clearly see where the enemy is. You just need to use all your strength to rush towards your enemy. The consequences are either you are killed by the enemy or you kill the enemy. No matter who kills whom, it is a battle openly. The only thing that is sophisticated is your courage and luck.
But here, you can't see where the enemy is. At least, Song Degang has not seen a living Tartar so far. Only when gunfire or screams come, can he know that there are his own people or Tartars without their lives. He can't imagine how Zhang Zhun's subordinates fought wits and courage with the Tartar archers, and successfully killed them.
In Song Degang's personal opinion, it would cost at least three or four people to successfully kill a Tartar archer. Such a price was already very satisfying. If such a price could be achieved in the Liaodong region, the Tartars would have been destroyed by the Ming army long ago. In Liaodong, the Ming army would not be able to behead a Tartar if it paid thirty or forty people. However, the results of the escort team were completely beyond his judgment. The warriors were basically one life for one life.
"Go in and take a look!"
Zhang Zhun suddenly said.
Hao Linyong naturally agreed very much.
Song Degang hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.
The three of them entered the magpie forest, and the light suddenly became dark, and everything in front of them gradually became hazy. Although the surrounding woods had been searched, there would be no Tartars. However, at first glance, it still felt quite strange, as if there would be Tartar arrows shooting out at any time. Every shaking leaf would attract high vigilance. This feeling was even stronger for Song Degang.
According to Song Degang's meaning, burning this forest before the battle began was the most direct way. Unfortunately, the officers and soldiers did try burning the forest, but unfortunately they did not succeed. Such a forest was lush and lush, and the humidity was very high, and even if they set fire, they could not burn. As for bombarding with cannons... well, it would be better to turn thousands of people into a logging team directly.
The dense forests are filled with dim light, the leaves are swaying, and the light and shadows are swaying, which can easily make people hallucinate. The Tartars lurking here, really like fish in water. Fortunately, Zhang Zhun is not bad. Everyone is facing the top of the head and reciprocates. The Tartars, who are still fighting with beasts, are powerful and fearless, but the soldiers of the guards are also not afraid of anything and move forward bravely.
The three of them came to the front line.
The situation here is a bit messy. There are scattered leaves everywhere, and cut branches. There are also many sharp thorns made of branches. These sharp thorns are tied to the branches, and then the branches are bent. Once they touch the branches, the branches suddenly rebound and hit the person's body. These sharp thorns will be inserted into the human body like triangular thorns. Basically, if they are stinged by so many wood thorns, they will definitely not be able to survive.
There is another trap with a shield opened. Standing on the edge of the trap and looking down, you can see that all the white ones below are sharpened wood thorns. The length of these wood thorns is more than three feet. The height of the ground and the trap is more than one zhang. If you fall at such a height, the wooden thorns below will definitely penetrate the whole person. Not to mention people, even the Daluo Jinxian will fall down accidentally, and will be ruined.
"Damn it, what a cruel Tartar!"
Song Degang couldn't help but curse.
However, after scolding, Song Degang discovered that such a trap was not the most toxic.
Chapter completed!
