Chapter 189 There are pitfalls everywhere
This situation made the leading general and Dora Yue'er feel uneasy. Logically speaking, the Yan army stationed here would definitely be safe and sound.
With all the noise they made, they should have been discovered long ago. Even if there were no ambushers ahead, they would at least have been in trouble.
But the problem is, not only are there no enemies causing trouble, but the surroundings are even eerily quiet!
The moment she rushed out of the gourd, Dora Yue'er saw the Zhoufu army appearing in front of her, with a number of about two to three thousand people.
Seeing this, Duo La Yue Er felt relieved, a trace of contempt hung on the corner of her mouth, and she began to look down on Jiang Fan.
Instead of ambushing at Hulukou, he chose to confront head-on in front of Hulukou. Does this guy really understand military affairs?
No matter how powerful the infantry is, they will be defeated by cavalry with just one charge? Not to mention, she brought wolf riders with her this time.
She snorted coldly and shouted to the Zhoufu Army in front of her: "All troops, charge, and destroy them for me!"
Following her voice, the wolf riders sped up and rushed towards the Zhoufu Army a few hundred meters ahead. The wolf riders let out waves of strange cries and howls.
However, just as they increased their speed, the Zhoufu Army in front of them suddenly turned around and fled, seeming to have dropped something while fleeing.
Such a situation stunned the wolf riders. They all thought they had seen it wrong. Dora Yue'er, who was following the cavalry formation, was also shocked by such a situation and looked stunned.
What the hell! Are these Yan soldiers so cowardly? They just acted like they were ready to die, why are they suddenly turning around and running away!
Such an army actually dared to challenge their Northern Mongolian Wolf Cavalry! How funny!
After being stunned, Dora Yue'er looked at them with disdain, and the wolf riders burst into mocking laughter.
As they watched the Yan army approaching, their eyes were filled with cruelty. They looked towards the Yan army camp several miles away, and their murderous intent became even stronger.
Although the Yan army fled quickly, it was still far inferior to their wolf cavalry.
Just as the wolf cavalry was about to catch up with the thousands of Yan troops in front, suddenly, many of the war horses in front fell to the ground, accompanied by bursts of screams.
The wolf riders at the front saw what the Yan army had dropped. It turned out to be rows of sharpened bamboos. The bamboos had no branches and leaves, and from a distance, nothing could be seen.
But when I got closer, I found that the branches of these bamboos were sharpened to very sharp points.
Although the lethality is not great, the problem is that war horses run fast and will feel pain when they hit the spikes.
Plus, there were spikes everywhere. The horses of the wolf riders in front of them were all defeated.
Then, whole rows of Wolf Riders fell down, and the Wolf Riders behind them rushed up and directly knocked and trampled their companions to death.
In addition, the speed of the charge was too fast, and there was no time to brake. As a result, nearly a thousand wolf riders in the front were completely wiped out.
The entire charging team was in complete chaos.
When Li Yunzhuo and other Zhoufu soldiers who were not far behind saw this scene, they all gasped. They all looked at Jiang Fan in shock, with shock and admiration in their eyes.
The battle hasn't even started yet, but the Northern Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side have suffered heavy losses, and it's their own people who killed each other.
Everyone felt a sincere admiration for Jiang Fan. They now finally understood why Jiang Fan asked them to cut and peel bamboo.
This is not a joke, it is clearly a weapon to kill the enemy. Moreover, Li Yunzhuo saw clearly the appearance of those Northern Mongolian cavalrymen, wearing wolf heads on their heads and all holding scimitars.
This is the wolf rider of Northern Mongolia! Only the wolf riders are dressed like this.
They never imagined that the Northern Mongolian Wolf Cavalry, who were so rampant in Northern Mongolia that even Dayan was wary of them, would suffer such heavy losses before they even engaged in battle with them.
However, the wolf riders soon stopped after the chaos. Dora Yue'er looked at the piles of corpses in front of her in astonishment, her eyes full of shock and disbelief.
She looked up into the distance and vaguely saw a figure standing there, and a sense of fear surged in her heart. Jiang Fan!
This guy actually plotted against her again. Thinking back to the camp that Jiang Fan had stationed in the gourd's mouth and thinking about the current trap, she felt that Jiang Fan had been plotting against her from the very beginning.
The terrain of Hulukou allowed her to charge forward with the advantage of cavalry. And with the bonus of her speed, when she saw the enemy blocking the way ahead and was caught off guard, she would charge with all her strength.
Once the speed increases, the trap in front will be ignored. Moreover, this trap does not require any technical content, it is just throwing down some bamboos.
The less technically demanding the trap is, the more likely they are to ignore it.
But these bamboos are hard to guard against. If they don't rush close, you can't even detect them! Their lethality is great.
Jiang Fan's arrangement was simply terrifying. She didn't expect that she would suffer such a big loss before she could even accomplish her mission. She only had 5,000 wolf riders on her side, and she brought 3,000 with her, and she lost more than 1,000 in one go.
Looking at the young man in a python robe standing in the crowd in the distance, she felt so angry that her teeth itched. Her pretty face was almost distorted.
"Organize the troops..." She shouted softly, preparing to continue the charge. However, she had a worse premonition in her heart.
Because, only then did she remember that Jiang Fan, who was less than a mile ahead, was just looking at this side indifferently, although Jiang Fan was protected by thousands of soldiers beside him.
But we have wolf riders on our side, so why isn't that guy afraid at all? Could it be that he has a backup plan? !
Just as Dora Yue'er was wondering, suddenly, countless things whizzed towards her, and in the blink of an eye, the shells fell among the wolf riders.
As the shells exploded, the Wolf Cavalry, who had just been organized, were immediately blown to pieces. Before they could understand what was happening, countless people were killed or wounded.
The formation that had just been organized was suddenly in chaos again, and the war horses were stimulated by the explosion and began to run around in all directions. It was no longer possible to maintain a complete formation.
Dora Yue'er showed fear in her eyes when she saw this scene. She looked in the direction of Jiang Fan. She finally understood why Jiang Fan was so calm.
It turned out that this guy had a backup plan, which was this terrifying explosive weapon. She didn't even realize where this weapon came from.
Jiang Fan just watched the elm cannon bombarding the enemy camp quietly with a calm expression, but Li Yunzhuo and others beside him were dumbfounded, looking at Jiang Fan with horror in their eyes.
For the first time, they discovered that Jiang Fan in front of them was so powerful. The strength Jiang Fan displayed was even more terrifying than when he duelled with them.
If Jiang Fan used that terrifying heavenly thunder weapon to deal with them, I'm afraid that 50,000 people would not be enough for Jiang Fan's men to kill.
Seeing the Wolf Riders on the opposite side suffering heavy casualties from the explosion, they were horrified and at the same time, observed a moment of silence for the Wolf Riders.
Meeting Jiang Fan meant they were unlucky!
The wolf cavalry on the opposite side lost nearly half of their men before they even encountered the Yan army. If the fighting continues, I’m afraid the entire army will be wiped out!
Duo La Yue Er looked in the direction of Jiang Fan angrily. She led her wolf riders and rushed towards Jiang Fan again. This time, they avoided the bamboo thorn trap.
