Huangting Mountain is not a steep terrain. The east and west sides are relatively gentle, and the height is not more than 100 feet. As long as you have patience, ordinary people can climb over the mountains.
But for the army, it was quite difficult to maintain their formation while climbing over the mountains. There were only a few paths trodden by people in the mountains, and other places were covered with dense vegetation. Thousands of enemies had to line up in long lines and slow down. Move upward slowly.
Viewed from a high place, these seven or eight teams are like prints embedded in the green background, and all their movements are clear at a glance.
The army of Huiyang City is located in the middle of the three paths.
That is also the road that can directly threaten the cave.
"Sister Fang, they have entered the border."
"Let's do it."
"Yes, once the enemy enters the cave, it will be difficult to destroy them."
Some of the subordinates couldn't help but said.
"Wait a little longer..." Gongsun Fang said calmly, "We have been waiting for so long, there is no need to wait for a while."
As the leader of the rebels, she was deeply aware of the strength gap between her own side and her opponents. If they fought head-on, they would not even have a 10% chance of winning. Therefore, if you want to defeat the opponent, the role of those traps is crucial. Only by inflicting a heavy blow on the enemy at lightning speed and causing the opponent to lose their fighting spirit in an instant can they have the possibility of victory.
So the more people who enter the ambush circle, the better!
After waiting for another three quarters of an hour, when the leading team was almost leaving the strike zone, Gongsun Fang stood up and blew the horn vigorously -
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
For a time, a low trumpet sounded throughout the hillside.
Teams on standby took action immediately.
Gongshu Jin is no exception.
He activated his breath and injected it into the magical weapon that had been arranged. The latter's wheels and suspension cables began to rotate, pushing the fences outwards everywhere, and behind it was a mountain lake filled with water.
Two or three years ago, this lake was just a pond, formed by natural accumulation of water. But under the leadership of Gongsun Fang, the rebels made a series of improvements to the pond, including blocking the outlet and artificially raising the height of the dam, so that it rose nearly three feet in just two months. Became a lake.
However, Gongsunfang has never found a suitable flood discharge method. After all, it is easy to pile up soil, but it is another matter to dig it up. She originally wanted to ask someone to go to Shenzhou to seek help, and even considered saving a large amount of money and directly hiring Ze or Gen alchemists to complete the last step. Unexpectedly, Gong Shujin's appearance helped her solve the release problem in advance. .
These fences buried in the water slowly moved outward, slowly but unstoppably. The piled-up mud and stone "embankments" cracked and disintegrated little by little until they completely collapsed.
A large amount of lake water rushed out from the crack and rushed down the hillside!
But that's far from the whole story.
Although the rushing torrent looks scary, its lethality is very limited. This is due to the topography of Huangting Mountain - the gentle slope will quickly disperse the direction of the water flow, and the dense plants at the foot of the mountain will also hinder it. Gongsunfang does not expect it. It would be difficult for the enemy to get up after being knocked over. As for the target at the foot of the mountain... it was a question whether this little water could reach their ankles.
So releasing the water is just an introduction.
Less than a few dozen seconds after the dam broke, a dense roar came from the mountainside, like thunder flying through the woods!
I saw pillars of soil spraying into the sky, as if the whole earth was boiling!
It was the gunpowder that the rebel military had first planted, and it was also the core part of the Huangtingshan ambush circle. The gunpowder raw materials were purchased from the Baisha Mine, and then ground and mixed according to the chemistry textbook written by Jin Xia. The quantity of these granular black powders is not large and it is difficult to directly destroy the enemy, but it can create a loose "landslide area" on the mountainside.
When water rushes into this area, a wonderful change occurs. The soil only needs a small amount of water mixed into it to form a highly fluid bond. In this state, the soil can not only slide freely, but also "suck" surrounding solids into it, constantly strengthening itself, similar to a snowball.
The rushing water was quickly absorbed by the loose soil, and drove a large number of rocks and trees downwards. Compared with the previous flood discharge, the lethality is not at the same level. Even a fist-sized stone, after accumulating enough kinetic energy, can cause fatal blunt force injuries when hitting armor, not to mention those arm-thick trees and large rocks mixed in the surface. Even sieges The rolling logs and rolling stones at that time pale in comparison.
A man-made mudslide took complete shape in less than a quarter of an hour.
It made a deafening rumbling sound and rushed towards the enemy with a devastating force. Those paths that lacked vegetation coverage and were trampled by humans became natural flood diversion channels.
In fact, when a series of explosions occurred halfway up the mountain, those powerful men and servants had already realized that the situation was not good. Unfortunately, the moment they could see the mudslide, it was too late to run away.
The rocks roared and rushed into the climbing team, knocking those who were trying to escape off their feet!
Once hit by a tree or stone, even if you are not killed on the spot, your bones will be broken and you will be unable to escape from the mudslide. This is already an ideal way to die, but the unlucky ones will be rolled down by the mud and buried alive, becoming part of the ecological cycle of Huangting Mountain.
The enemy's encirclement and suppression troops suddenly fell into chaos!
The powerful family at the foot of the mountain didn't care about the Privy Council's order, so they immediately turned around and ran away.
Even if they don't take the lead in escaping, they can no longer control their subordinates - anyone who sees this natural disaster-like scene will have the first reaction to escape for their lives. In a sense, the overwhelming mudslide is more terrifying than the high-level alchemists of the Privy Council, because at least the latter are still human beings.
And for the team at the front, they are undoubtedly lucky.
At this location, the pouring torrent has not completely dispersed, and the soldiers still have room to escape. Especially in the area near the cave, the raised rock cave has become a natural barrier. It divides the debris flow into two parts like a mainstay, allowing a small number of people to escape the first round of the debris flow.
But this luck only lasts for a moment.
Gongsun Fang blew another horn at this moment and issued an order to take the initiative.
"Come on—"
"Kill all these beasts and avenge the villagers!"
The main force of the rebel army crawled out of the previously dug secret passages and caves, and launched a charge towards the shocked enemy troops with a variety of weapons!
This is another torrent that slopes from top to bottom.
What made up this torrent were the angry Liuzhou people and the refugees who were taken in by them.
Although the Privy Council has never looked at this rural resistance force, their actions at this moment have proven that when this long-simmering anger breaks out, it will be as deadly as the torrent!
