157. Chapter 157(2/2)
Gao Huan's face was quiet, but his eyes were fixed on the figures of the Hun cavalry that were getting closer and closer. His arms wrapped around the ropes were slowly lifted up, as if they were filled with endless arrogance and were about to break out.
Just as the front row of Hun cavalry passed the rope buried in the ground and continued to run forward, he shouted loudly, suddenly jumped out of the sand, leading the soldiers beside him, straightening the rope in his hands. Under the skin of his arms, the blue blood vessels swelled up, the rope was struggling and suddenly stretched straight.
A loud "boom" sound was like a rock that broke through the sky. Along with the flying yellow sand and dust several feet high, a huge hole suddenly broke on the originally flat ground in front of the entrance of the town.
The fences and cross-bows quickly exploded with the pull of the rope.
There was a huge deep pit that was a hundred meters long and ten feet wide on the ground, which was like a huge mouth opening, ruthlessly swallowing the people and horses above it into their stomachs.
At the bottom of the huge pit, sharpened wooden stakes were densely filled with sharpened wooden stakes. A piece of cavalry in front fell down, and they were nailed to the wooden stakes on the spot.
Just as the man and horses were neighing, struggling and twisting in vain, the cavalry behind fell down due to huge inertia and pushing from behind, and the sky was dark, and they could not see clearly, so they could not stop at all, and they fell down one after another.
In almost the blink of an eye, the bottom of the pit was filled with people.
The pit wall was straight, and even if it fell in later, it was lucky to use the pads of the companion's corpse to protect it, the cavalry who had not been pierced on the spot could not come out.
The six thousand elite cavalry were swallowed up in a blink of an eye.
Under the bottom of the pit, there were dense crowds and wriggling, and it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a horse, whether it was a living or a dead person. Horses and people stepped on each other.
The hissing sound, mixed with shrill screams, rushed up from the bottom of the pit, as if it was from the Avici Hell.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Gao Huan's eyes were red. With a command, soldiers behind the earthen walls rushed out and gathered at the edge of the pit to lead their bows and shoot arrows.
The feather arrows were like a dense net, shooting mercilessly towards the Huns in the pit.
Ugan rushed forward and fell into the sand pit. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, so he grabbed a soldier who fell down beside him and blocked it. Only then did he avoid the wooden stake where two cavalry had been inserted.
The soldier screamed and was inserted into the wooden stake, but he did not die immediately. He still hugged his thighs with both hands, struggling and refused to let go.
Ugan cut off the soldier's hand with one knife, and finally got relieved.
It was not until this moment that he realized that Li Mu had been trapped, but he did not expect that the person who had been trapped would be him.
He was both hated and afraid, and his liver and gallbladder was about to find available horses, and he was trying to leap up on the stacked corpses, suddenly, a rain of arrows above his head, and he had nowhere to escape. His whole body was immediately filled with arrows, and he was shot like a hedgehog by a sharp sword.
He looked up, his eyes bulging, his eyes filled with incredible indignation and unwillingness. He stood there straight, but still refused to fall.
A Hun cavalry who was shot to death suddenly fell from the sky and smashed him down, pressing him down.
The Hun cavalry, who were lucky enough to be behind, finally stopped before the sand pit that kept devouring people.
Everyone was stunned by this huge change that suddenly happened in front of them.
Before the other party could react, Gao Huan called another order and the cavalry lying on both sides of the town entrance also rushed out.
Seeing that the main general fell down, it was obvious that he could not survive. There were ambushes on both sides of the gates, and the light was weak. I didn't know how many enemies there were. The remaining Hun soldiers did not have any fighting spirit, so they turned around and ran away.
How could Gao Huan allow these people to escape, encircle and encircle them. There was a fierce battle. When it was dark, all the six thousand elite cavalry brought by Ugan and him were annihilated, and Gao Huan won a complete victory.
The cheers of victory resounded around Fangzhen. The light of torches illuminated the blood-stained excited faces.
Gao Huan inserted the blood-stained sword in his hand back into the scabbard, wiped away the blood stains on his face, and ordered the soldiers to eat some dry food on the spot and take a break.
At the same time he attracted the attention of the Huns, his commander-in-law Li Mu, had already used a different path identified by the map conveyed by his uncle before, leading the army, avoiding Liu Jian's eyes and ears, and attacked Yanmen overnight.
If everything goes well, then at this moment, my brother-in-law should be attacking Yanmen.
According to previous information from the spies, Liu Jian had already arrived in Yanmen in person.
While he was waiting for Ugan to spread the good news to him that he would burn food and grass, he probably wouldn't have dreamed that Li Mu would be at the city at this time.
