Liu Yu slowly moved closer to the injured soldiers, and those soldiers who were unfortunately stabbed by hidden weapons were also actively trying to save themselves.
The soldier who was not deeply stabbed by the concealed weapon has been freed from the control of the concealed weapon and straightened up. The soldiers are helping each other and using cloth bandages to stop the bleeding.
Those soldiers who were not stabbed in vital parts were the luckiest. They were either stabbed in the arm or in the shoulder blade. Some of them could stop the bleeding without the help of others.
"General Liu, look, luckily we are protected by leather armor, otherwise we would be in misery!"
A soldier pulled out a concealed weapon scattered around him and raised it in front of Liu Yu's eyes. Liu Yu took a closer look and gasped.
"It's actually a three-edged nail!"
"These barbarians are really cruel and ruthless!"
The so-called three-edged nail is no different between ancient times and modern times. They are both iron claws that extend in three directions.
This kind of three-edged nails were also used to set up roadblocks in ancient times. Liu Yu never expected that Di Qin's people would set up such a thing outside the city before the war started.
They are not afraid of hurting civilians either.
The three-edged nail in Liu Yu's hand was still slightly stained with blood. In order to make a sneak attack, the Jin army all crawled forward. The line of sight was low and the field of vision was not wide. They could almost only see the small area in front of them.
So much so that several people have already been tricked, and others are unaware that the ambush is already approaching.
Looking around, if you can focus on one place and look carefully, you can immediately find that less than a foot in front of where they are lying, about a mile in radius, on the originally flat land, there are...
They are all covered with three-sided nails of the same shape and size!
It can be said that if Liu Yu had not shouted that sound and if they had crawled three steps forward, the Jin army would have been injured even more.
Today’s mission was completely ruined!
"Jinnu, what should we do?" After calming down the soldiers who followed, Tan Pingzhi was finally able to come back and deal with the complicated situation with Liu Yu.
"Of course we have to move forward. The more Di Qin sets up a trap outside the city, the more relaxed their defenses will be near the return entrance."
"They must be counting on these three-edged nails to block all those who attempt to raid outside Xiangyang City!"
This was certain. Soon the generals reached a consensus and the reason why the defense on the back wall was so lax was also found.
With such a dense array of hidden weapons installed, it’s no wonder that no one is putting much effort into defense.
"But how can we move forward?"
"It seems to me that these three-sided nails are placed quite compactly. You see, some of them are so close that they are even less than an inch apart."
"It's difficult to put one foot up, let alone when we have to bend down and crawl over!"
"You will definitely be stabbed by a three-edged nail!" Tan Ping said worriedly.
Liu Yu stared ahead with firm eyes.
Since surrendering to the army at Jingkou, Xiangyang City was the first important city he participated in the battle. Now that Zhiyuan trusted him so much and entrusted him with such an important task as spearheading the battle, he could never let him down.
"So, it all depends on human effort!" Liu Yu said firmly.
"After all, these hidden weapons were placed by Di Qin's people. As long as they can place them, we will definitely be able to break out."
Tan Pingzhi's eyes lit up, and his slightly frustrated mood suddenly became tense.
Ji Nu is right!
As long as it can be installed, it is definitely possible to successfully go out!
After all, the three-edged nails are not like other hidden weapons. Although they are laid over a wide area, looking at the situation in front of you, you can know that these dense and numerous three-edged nails cannot be placed just by throwing them away.
of.
Looking at this density, plus the number of triangular nails, we can know that Di Qin's soldiers placed them at least several times before achieving the current results.
How can Di Qin's soldiers place three-edged nails?
Liu Yu raised his head and looked in the direction of the tower. He once imagined that it might have been thrown directly from high altitude.
But after a rough measurement, it soon became clear that this idea was simply not practical.
The city tower was about half a mile away from where Liu Yu and the others were prostrate. Looking from both sides, one could only see a vague shape.
No matter how powerful a strong man is, he will never be able to throw something as small and light as a three-sided nail so far.
Based on this inference, what else could the Di and Qin soldiers do?
They can't be invisible, and they don't have a golden bell. Of course, they can still move while walking. Therefore, it is certain that in the seemingly dense triangular spike formation, there must be paths for people to walk through. However, the Jin army has a long way to go.
I came here, but I haven’t found the way yet.
After thinking about this clearly, Liu Yu and Tan Pingzhi pulled Lao Shen and climbed to the first row of the queue again.
"General Liu, leave the next thing to me!" Now, the relationship between Lao Shen and Liu Yu is much closer, and he has begun to sincerely admire this young general. Chen Yi is indeed courageous and very human.
Comparable.
Although Old Shen is mean, his character is not bad, and he can readily admit Liu Yu's strengths.
"I'm going to ask the soldiers to change their formation!"
"It really should change."
"Ask them to reduce their formation to two people. They must pay attention and pass through places with fewer triangular nails!"
"Don't worry, General, I can handle it."
Lao Shen felt sorry for dragging others down, so he found himself an errand within his ability.
Fortunately, since we were crawling now, it wasn't too strenuous and Police Shen could definitely bear the burden.
He positioned his hands, moved little by little, and finally turned his body around. Behind him, hundreds of soldiers were lying on the ground. They were breathing heavily, looking ahead, just waiting.
The general's order.
Because of the fear of those densely packed three-sided nails with sharp ends, many people have stayed in the same posture for more than a cup of tea.
They were lying there, not daring to move at all.
Officer Shen turned around, raised his body slightly, and raised his aura.
"Soldiers, please narrow your formation to a team of two!"
"The three-sided spikes are densely packed in front. A team of two can shrink the formation, and the people in front can also explore the way for those behind."
"Brothers, working in teams of two, must cooperate fully, keep an eye on each other to see if there are any three-edged nails around, and try your best to remind them to avoid new injuries!"
Lao Shen deliberately lowered his voice. He knew very well that this place was right under the eyes of the Di Qin sentries. If there was even a little bit of noise, it would attract their attention.
At that time, the only unlucky ones will be the Jin army.
"You guys, move back!" the leader of the team issued the order. Obviously, if you want to change the formation, it is safest to move back.
The situation they were in now was that the front was covered with thorns, but the rear, which was the road they came from, was relatively safe.
"A team of two!"
Officer Shen's suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone in Beifu. Compared with one person in a team and passing slowly, two people in a team is indeed a more practical approach.
On the one hand, it can increase the speed of soldiers passing through ambushes. On the other hand, when two people are in a team, there is always someone to help each other.
The soldiers of Beifu are well-trained. Once there is a clear order, they will act quickly, retreat in one direction, follow the same pattern, and reduce their formation.
