If a horse stumbles, especially when galloping at full speed, the consequences are very serious. Once this happens, the horse's head will fall directly to the ground. When moving at high speed, the horse's head will hit the ground. The outcome is already imaginable. The war horse will almost certainly die or be seriously injured, and the person on the horse will be no different from being hit by a truck.
If you are thrown out and hit the ground, you will still be seriously injured.
If this situation suddenly occurs during a charge, the consequences will be even more terrible.
Moreover, it was not just one or two who stumbled, but a large number of Xiongnu cavalrymen who were at the forefront. Their horses fell to the ground one after another, and the Xiongnu soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The smell of blood instantly filled the battlefield.
The problem occurred in front, and the Hun cavalry behind had never expected that such a terrible situation would occur in the seemingly flat land in front of them. They had no time to stop the horses from running at high speed. They directly crashed into the horses that fell to the ground, and the horses and riders fell off their horses. Some of them were skilled riders and jumped over the fallen horses. But after landing, their horses also stumbled.
He fell to the ground at once.
"Ah, there's a pit!!"
“It’s a pit, a huge pit!!”
"Mama-san, what a big pit."
"No, why are there so many pits? They are pitting the Huns."
Under the horse's hooves, you can see that the ground, which originally looked no different from usual, was covered with green grass and was a flat surface, but it collapsed directly under the horse's hooves.
Pitfall 1!
There are pitfalls everywhere.
Hidden under the green grass, there are countless big and small pits, pits connected to each other, and pits upon pits.
Caught off guard, the Hun cavalry that was charging at first turned into chaos on the spot. The Hun cavalry that was trapped was so miserable that they were knocked off their horses before they even charged halfway. There were heavy casualties, and they died directly under the powerful impact of the horses. Many Huns were trampled and hit, and were directly trampled into meat paste. It was a hellish scene.
Liu Bao's face, in an instant, was like a dyeing workshop, with red, white, and black constantly changing on his face. His eyes almost popped out as he looked at the large and small pits on the ground trampled by the warhorse. The anger and frustration in his heart were simply indescribable.
The cavalry encountered pits, and the ground was full of pits.
That kind of situation is definitely a disaster, an unimaginable disaster. Especially after charging forward, you find that there are pits everywhere in front of you. That is an even more unimaginable disaster.
No war horse could fight in such an area, let alone charge.
To charge is to die.
There are pits ahead.
It was covered with green grass, and you couldn't tell which place was a pit and which place was not a pit.
It's like a minefield with countless mines buried. No one knows where those pits will appear.
Anyway, Liu Bao now feels that everything he sees before him is a trap.
Looking at the cavalrymen and horses that had suffered heavy casualties, Liu Bao's face was extremely ugly, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and the anger in his eyes almost ignited the entire valley, setting it on fire, and completely burning it to ashes.
"Damn Han people, cunning Central Plains people, you are really such a swindler."
Liu Bao roared angrily to the sky in grief and indignation.
A pair of red eyes looked towards Xuanhuang Village, and the murderous intent was visible to almost anyone. If eyes could kill, Xuanhuang Village would be reduced to ruins.
Looking at the large area in front of him, it was still quite a distance away from Xuanhuang Village.
At this distance, I don’t know how many pits there are on the ground in front of me.
Just a bunch of big and small pits actually made the Huns' advantage of cavalry, the ultimate weapon, vanish in an instant, without a trace left. With such a large pit, no cavalry could step into it, and even people would fall into the pit if they walked in.
These pits are so disgusting and abominable.
Just now, there were probably thousands of soldiers who fell into the pit and died, and countless others were injured.
Many Huns had expressions of fear on their faces. Looking at the vast plain in front of them, no one dared to drive their horses forward. Looking at the ground in front of them, each of them showed fear.
They had never felt that a piece of land could be so terrifying and make them feel so terrified.
"Hahaha, they died well, it's so refreshing. It's so satisfying that these Huns finally met their end."
"It was so wonderful to see these Xiongnu cavalrymen stumble and fly away. It was like drinking three buckets of fine wine. They deserved this day. These foreigners deserved to be killed."
"I dug many of the pits there. I'm sure many of them died. It's a pleasure to dig pits for the Huns myself."
"We are good at digging holes. When I used to farm, I used a shovel and dug a hole. Now my strength is ten times stronger than before, and I can dig a big hole. If I don't bury a few Huns, it would be a shame for my strength."
"It's good that you die, these man-eating beasts. The more you die, the better. If you dare to eat us Central Plains people, then I will dig a pit and kill you."
On the city wall, a large number of people saw the Huns outside crashing into the big pit during the charge, and they all laughed happily. It was so satisfying. They had a share in the death of the Huns.
Before, after hearing that they were going to dig pits outside to set traps against the Huns, the villagers all participated enthusiastically. They spontaneously carried hoes and dug pits on the ground. Each villager was stronger than an ordinary person and had greatly increased strength. They dug pits very quickly, and without much effort, they had large and small pits all around the village.
Moreover, the villagers who had awakened the life-growth skill were asked to use their magical powers to make the nearby grass grow rapidly, quickly covering up the large pits. From the outside, it was almost impossible to see any traces. At least from the surface, it was impossible to see, but if a war horse stepped on it, it would definitely lose its footing and fall directly into the pit. Especially the cavalry who were charging, they would be pitted and howl in agony.
It was miserable.
This is the picture now.
Digging a pit is a very common method, but now it can play an incredible role. The Xiongnu suffered heavy losses, and the cavalry dared not move. The area in front of them was too terrible for them.
Without war horses, the Huns became infantry, and their combat effectiveness was less than 30%.
"My lord, it's a good idea to dig a pit outside the village. It's really the best way to deal with the cavalry. At least it's impossible for these Huns to cross this pit with cavalry. The most powerful thing about cavalry is the speed and impact of the horses, and they can move forward and backward freely, but now their legs have been cut off. Their momentum has been completely destroyed. Their morale has been greatly reduced. The threat has been greatly reduced."
Huang Chengyan stroked his beard with a smile and spoke slowly.
Digging a hole is a simple thing, but not everyone can know when to dig a hole and how to use it.
Before, facing the Huns, who would have thought that just digging some pits outside the village would make the cavalry helpless. Cut off their own hands and feet. Moreover, even if the Huns knew that there were pits ahead, they had no way to deal with it. This was an open conspiracy in front of them.
I'm telling you, there's a pit ahead, do you dare to come
"Yes, in the past, when fighting against foreign cavalry, people mostly used trip ropes and chevaux de frise to stop them, but few people thought of digging pits to completely neutralize the cavalry. This pit is really a stroke of genius. I'm afraid these Huns will be in a dilemma."
Yang Ye also said in amazement.
The method is simple, but the key is whether anyone has thought of the problem.
"Although this plan is simple, it is very effective." Yang Yanping also looked at Yi Tianxing with admiration. At least he had never thought of such a method before. They all faced the enemy head-on with a spear array.
There are often heavy casualties.
Of course, on the battlefield, no one will give you the opportunity and time to dig a hole.
This is only applicable now.
Adapting to local conditions is the essence of military strategy.
At least in terms of flexible application, Yi Tianxing has shown a certain talent.
There was more appreciation and surprise in Cai Yan's eyes when she looked at Yi Tianxing.
"This horse pit formation can only stop the Xiongnu cavalry. It can instantly reduce their strength by 70%. However, with the pit formation, I am afraid that Liu Bao will want to retreat. My goal is to completely keep these Xiongnu here and bury them forever. The pit is for them. Send a signal. Seal the canyon for me. As long as the exit is sealed, it will be enough to trap Liu Bao like a turtle in a jar. There will be no room for him to escape."
Yi Tianxing looked at the Xiongnu army that was stagnant in front of the pit formation, his eyes were cold. In the eyes of many people, he could see a green light, which was the look of people who had eaten human flesh. Such people must not be allowed to stay. Once they stay, it will be a disaster. His own conscience cannot be justified.
brush!!
A sharp arrow quickly broke through the air.
Boom! !
As the whistle sounded, huge rocks fell from the sky above the canyon, some rolling logs and some huge rocks. In just a few breaths, a section of the canyon was blocked. The exit was completely blocked. It was definitely not that easy to move them away.
"Oh no! They are trying to cut off our retreat. They have sealed off the canyon. There is indeed an ambush up there. However, they are not trying to deal with us, but to cut off our retreat. The Central Plains people are so treacherous."
The shaman's expression changed, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.
This is to trap them in a jar, this is to kill them, to completely destroy this Hun army.
Immediately, a strong anger arose in my heart.
"If they want to eat us, then it depends on how good their teeth are and whether they are good or not." Liu Bao said with a grin, showing his fangs. (To be continued)
