Chapter 121 Deep in the pit

Before the rusty guards wearing green battle robe were swallowed by the wind and snow, Zhan Ting led his troops into the military camp outside Jinchang City and joined forces with the Han Dao Guard. Even after the initial panic stage, the Han Dao Guards' defenses are still weak in combat. The Han Dao Guards shuttled back and forth in the military camp as if they were no one, while the Tang army threw away their armor and fled towards Jinchang City. After the arrogant Fan Yi had fought for a while, he had to join the retreat ranks after seeing the situation being over.

Even after several deductions and seizing the opportunity, the local team is a good partner, and they expected that the probability of winning this raid would be very high. But in reality, Xia Junmao's rapid retreat still made Xia Junmao a little confused. "Is there a fraud in this? I want to lure our army into the deep? But the one who goes deep is not the hinterland of Xia Tang, opposite is Jinchang City. Once the gods kill the cavalry left the city to siege, they would definitely be besieged. Or should the battle be so smooth?" Xia Junmao looked up at Jinchang City in the distance, shook his head, and then ordered: "Create a greater movement and let the defenders of Jinchang City discover us!"

After receiving the commander's order, the Han Dao Guard shouted louder. Originally, the raid war had reached this critical moment, there was no need to bluff like this, but from the start of the battle to the retreat of Xia Tang, Jinchang City was still silent. With the addition of Zhan Ting's army, more than 30,000 people in the battle formation of Xia Tang's military camp, the land under its feet began to shake slightly, and the people and horses rushed, and almost everyone did not feel the vibration from the ground, except for one person.

"Shaoning!" Duan Lang grabbed Xuan Shaoning, "Do you feel the land under your feet shaking?"

"Is it caused by the galloping horses?"

"No, this feeling is different from the surface movement caused by the running of a war horse. You jump off the horse!" Duan Lang pulled Xuan Shaoning down from the horse's back and knelt on the ground. He put aside the small amount of snow left, pressed his palm on it, closed his eyes and felt it quietly for a while. Xuan Shaoning naturally understood that Duan Lang would not do this for no reason. When he was in the academy, Duan Lang's geometry skills were more sophisticated than others, and he was praised by Helianping.

"This feeling is like a stage built on wooden stakes. People jumped on the stage, and the wooden stakes supported began to loosen. So, the whole stage moaned before the collapse!" Duan Lang's face was as incredible as Xuan Shaoning. What they stood was a whole piece of land, and where was the stage comparable? If this area of ​​military camp was supported by pillars, no one would believe it. Even if it were, where would the manpower and time be obtained from the Tang army to complete such a project?

"Although I still find it incredible, I also have doubts." Xuan Shaoning stood up and said, "I always feel that the combat effectiveness of the Tang army is not as good as we are. Although we are a cavalry attack, the resistance we encountered is much weaker than expected. Look at the direction of their retreat!" Duan Lang also looked into the distance, "There is Jinchang City in the distance. Once the defenders in the city find us, they will definitely go out of the city to meet the enemy and form an encirclement with us to completely wipe out these Tang army!"

"You said this!" Duan Lang began to doubt after being reminded. "We are so disturbing, Jinchang City cannot not not notice it. Until now, there is no movement in the city. Could it be..." He suddenly thought of a possibility. "Jinchang City has been captured, and the Tang army deliberately set up an ambush to lead us into the ambush circle?"

"The God Killing Cavalry is the strongest single-soldier combat capability among the four armies. Jinchang City is a city built to prevent trouble in the Tang Dynasty. It will not be captured so easily, and it is not mentioned in the battle report I received!" Xuan Shaoning was extremely unwilling to believe Duan Lang's inference, but he could not come up with any facts to convince himself.

"Let's report this situation to the commander!" Duan Lang just turned over and the vibration he felt suddenly became violent, so violent that almost everyone in the military camp felt it.

Until this time, Xuan Shaoning finally felt the feeling described by Duan Lang. The ground became shaking, and all the people and things on this ground began to stand unsteadily. As the shaking became more and more violent, finally, in a muffled groan that resounded through the sky, the entire Tang military camp fell into a pit that was ten feet deep from the ground. At this moment, if someone stood at the top of Jinchang City and looked at it, he would find that the entire military camp area formed a very obvious dividing line with the surrounding land. The sinking land was neatly cut, which was obviously man-made.

The collapsed ground was not deep, but basically all the Liang Dynasty troops and some of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who had not had time to escape fell into the pit. The broken ground and the collapsed earth and rocks made the people who fell into it unable to move for a while. Unfortunately, they were directly killed by the rocks. Some of the lucky ones were stuck in the cracks; some were pressed under the rocks and shouted for help; some of the limbs were broken and howled. For a moment, the neighing of war horses and the howlings of people filled the entire pit.

At the moment when the ground collapsed, Xuan Shaoning and Duan Lang were about to get on the horse, so they leaned their bodies on the horse's belly. The collapsed tent wood penetrated the horse's belly, and the war horse was blocked by them. The two of them were located at the edge of the military camp, and the vibration caused by the collapse was not as severe as the center. Xuan Shaoning scratched his left arm by the tent wood that penetrated the horse's belly. He covered the bleeding wound with his hands and started calling Duan Lang before he could stand up.

"I'm here..." Duan Lang had already stood up ten feet away from Xuan Shaoning. He swayed and walked a few steps before starting to run towards Xuan Shaoning.

"Shaoning, how are you injured?"

"It's okay, I'm not seriously injured. I think you don't seem to be in any way?"

"I'm also lucky. When I fell, I escaped the disaster. I just moved my arms and legs!"

Seeing Duan Lang's face full of dust but intact, Xuan Shaoning felt a lot of comfort, and let out a long sigh, slowly stood up with Duan Lang's support. After standing up, he realized how bad the situation was: the robes were incurred and the wailing sounds filled his ears, including soldiers from the Tang army. He looked up and looked at the land where he was standing, which was already ten feet high from him. This height was not a big obstacle in normal times, but at this time, it would take more minutes to climb up when he was injured.

"It turns out that Xia Tang had been ambushing a long time ago, deliberately leading us into the trap!" Xuan Shaoning became anxious. The collapse of the ground was undoubtedly a stuttering of the Xia Tang people. He didn't know how they did it, nor did he have time to think about how they did it. This is definitely just part of their plan. "They must have a backup plan. We must find the commander as soon as possible and leave here!"

Before he finished speaking, the ground was surrounded by Tang troops. Fan Yi stood at the forefront with his hands on his hips, and said with a look of contempt: "Do you really think I ran away? What does retreat mean? It seems that you Liang people don't understand it. Today, let you experience it well, and you can die and rest your eyes! Take an arrow!"
