Chapter 263
: The airtight trap camp!
Chapter 263: The airtight trap camp! (Thanks to the two monthly tickets from Xin Ruo Tong. Yi Xin Dong brothers for their support~)
When he saw that the enemy had no more than a thousand men, Li Jue quickly calmed down:
"How many people did I think they were? How dare a mere thousand of them block the way of nearly ten thousand of us?"
Min Gong, the Marquis of Duting, saw that Li Jue had a short memory and hurriedly reminded him:
"General Li, you'd better be careful. We've suffered too much on this journey!"
Li Jue immediately recalled the previous disastrous defeats and became alert.
He carefully looked at this thousand-man enemy force and found that the armor coverage rate of these people was also very high!
Not only was his face covered with armor, but his feet were also wearing black iron boots.
He holds a spear, meteor hammer and other weapons in his left hand, and a large metal shield in his right hand!
Half cavalry, half infantry.
The most important thing is that this group of soldiers lined up in a row and just moved slowly forward, which created a terrible pressure invisibly!
It's like an insurmountable iron wall. If you hit it, you will either die or be injured!
Even with a military advantage of nearly ten times, Li Jue was frightened and didn't know what to do for a moment.
He looked at Min Gong and Hu Cai beside him and asked in a deep voice:
"Do you know the origin of this army?"
Min Gong held his forehead bitterly:
"General, have you forgotten? These are the most elite troops under Lu Bu who once served with you against Dong Zhuo!"
Li Jue's memory, which had been dormant for two years, was suddenly awakened, and his face suddenly turned extremely pale!
"Trapping, trapping the camp?!"
In an instant, Li Jue wanted to surrender!
When he and Lu Bu served under Dong Zhuo, he had seen the horror of this trap camp.
Later, when he was serving under Liu Xie, he heard that the Xianzhen Camp led by Gao Shun had achieved many remarkable feats!
He once marched 700 miles at a rapid speed to rescue the rear of Jiangxia, killed Kuai Yue, a general under Liu Biao, and rescued Lu Bu's family!
In addition, there are many amazing achievements such as sneaking into Runan, defeating Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, etc.!
Today, the strength of the Xianzhen Camp has increased from 800 to 1,000 men.
His combat capability is undoubtedly more terrifying than when he was under Dong Zhuo!
The more he understood how powerful the opponent was, the more panicked Li Jue felt!
He couldn't understand why this trap camp suddenly appeared behind him.
Could it be that the other party had been lying in ambush here since he entered Hanzhong?
In other words, the enemy had been plotting against them before he even entered Hanzhong?
Li Jue gnashed his teeth in hatred!
He looked at Min Gong and Hu Cai beside him and found that they were also full of fear. He couldn't help but get angry and snorted coldly:
"So what if they are from the Xianzhen Camp? No matter how strong they are, they only have a few thousand people!
“And they only have five hundred war horses.
"As long as we can break through the infantry's blockade, the enemy's mere 500 cavalrymen will not be able to have much impact on our cavalry.
"As long as we don't confront them head-on, they can't do anything to us!"
Min Gong and Hu Cai calmed down and looked at Li Jue at the same time:
"General Li, what do you think we should do?"
Li Jue hesitated for a moment and decided to give it a try:
"There is still a lot of money and jewels in our army. You two will each lead 2,000 men and take these jewels to the two sides.
“When approaching an enemy, throw all your money and jewelry onto them or at their feet.
“When these people see the precious jewels, they will surely be unable to resist snatching them!
"Then I will lead the remaining 5,000 cavalry to charge with you. We will surely disrupt the enemy and we can take the opportunity to escape!"
Min Gong and Hu Cai looked at each other and thought this method was feasible. They immediately distributed the jewels in the box to several captains and dozens of dubos.
Li Jue shouted coldly:
“After the army rushes over, this general will search everyone one by one!
"Anyone who dares to hide jewels will never be forgiven!"
Some people who originally had some ulterior motives were suddenly startled!
Following Li Jue's order, Min Gong and Hu Cai led the captains and dubos to the front and rushed straight to the left and right sides of the Xianzhen Camp!
Gao Shun, who was in the center of the trap camp, saw the enemy coming and calmly gave the order:
"Raise your shield! Meet the enemy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers in the front line of the trap camp raised their half-man-high shields.
With the spear in his hand clamped between the shields, he rushed towards the enemy cavalry like a ball of iron hedgehog!
The closer Min Gong and Hu Cai got to the ambush camp, the heavier their hearts felt, and even breathing became difficult!
It was as if there was an invisible boulder pressing heavily on their chests, making it seem as if even their hearts had difficulty beating!
When they gritted their teeth and arrived not far in front of the Xianzhen Camp infantry.
He immediately threw the gold, silver and jewelry in his hand at the soldiers in the Xianzhen Camp!
I thought these soldiers would loot in chaos as I imagined.
But what Min Gong and Hu Cai did not expect was that faced with the temptation of treasure, these soldiers were like mechanical machines!
No one paid any attention to the jewelry!
That gaze, as cold as the cold cellar in the sky, was fixed on these cavalrymen from beginning to end!
Min Gong was terrified and couldn't help cursing:
"Are these people from the trap camp still human?"
For a moment, the 4,000 cavalry led by Min Gong and Hu Cai were unable to stop and could only collide with the front row of infantry in the Xianzhen Camp!
Faced with a group of tall horses charging towards them, the soldiers in the front row of the Xianzhen Camp did not waver in their expressions.
They raised their shields with their left hands and stabbed the enemy horses' necks, which were not protected by breastplates, with their spears in their right hands!
In an instant, the painful neighings of countless war horses resounded throughout the wilderness!
The war horses in the front row and the soldiers in the front row of the Formation Trap continued to collide violently.
The soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp, holding shields, plowed two deep grooves in the ground with their feet!
However, the cavalry in front of Min Gong and Hu Cai were forced down in front of the shields by the enemy's spears and shields!
Even if some cavalry occasionally jumped over the shield wall and broke into the trap camp, they would be quickly surrounded and stabbed to death by the spearmen of the trap camp behind!
The strong smell of blood quickly spread, and the whole world seemed to have turned blood red!
Min Gong and Hu Cai's cavalry charged for a long time but failed to break through the shield resistance of the Xianzhen Camp.
Instead, countless war horses and cavalry were stabbed to death by the Xianzhen Camp!
Once the soldiers in the front row of the trap camp are exhausted, they will immediately switch positions with the soldiers in the rear to fill the gap!
There were clearly a thousand people, but they coordinated as if they were one person, with such tacit understanding that there were almost no flaws!
Min Gong and Hu Cai did not dare to charge again.
At this moment, Li Jue had led the remaining 5,000 cavalry to attack!
He was in the back and had already seen the terrifying self-control of the Xianzhen Camp when facing gold, silver and jewelry!
The cavalry led by Min Gong and Hu Cai charged for a long time but failed to open a gap in the enemy's formation.
If this continues, the cavalry under his command will be sacrificed in vain!
He rushed to Min Gong and Hu Cai and shouted at them:
“The three of us worked together and used brute force to break a gap!
"As long as we lead the cavalry into the enemy camp, we can fight our way out!"
Min Gong and Hu Cai responded immediately, and immediately joined forces with Li Jue to rush towards the enemy's front-line infantry!
Just as the three were about to approach the Xianzhen Camp infantry, Gao Shun in the rear suddenly uttered a word coldly:
"open!"
The originally impenetrable shield wall suddenly cracked in the middle, allowing Li Jue and the other two to enter!
