At dawn, the golden light of the stars has fallen on the old capital.
Under the golden sunlight, the old capital revealed its vague outline.
If you weren't in the dilapidated old capital, just looking at the outline, you would definitely think that this is a highly developed city that is recovering.
It has been more than three hours. During these three hours, Chen Boyan and his men have been busy. They found a street about a hundred meters long. This street was very narrow, with lush shrubs growing in the middle, and only one street.
The path trampled by war horses, and most of the buildings on both sides have collapsed.
Chen Boyan carefully inspected both sides of the street and found that there were easy-to-climb areas that could be blocked with objects or piled with large amounts of dry firewood.
Throughout the night, Chen Boyan and the others were collecting dry firewood and stacking it on both sides of the street. Fortunately, in this city that had been abandoned for 150 years, there was nothing else, so dry firewood was readily available, as long as it was well-preserved.
There will be a lot of flammable daily necessities such as furniture inside the building...
…
At dawn, the fire trap of more than 100 meters was completed.
The trap layout is very simple. It is to use dry firewood to pile up a "U" shaped trap on the street like a pocket. Prepare a large amount of dry firewood in advance in the lush bushes on the left and right of the open entrance. Once the last headhunter enters the pocket,
, immediately blocked the entrance with a large amount of dry firewood.
In order to prevent the headhunting cavalry from rushing out at high speed while the fire was not yet burning, Chen Boyan arranged for people to place a large number of obstacles and vines at the end and entrance to ensure that even when the fire was not yet burning, the headhunting clan could not short-circuit the fire.
Remove the obstacles and leave within the time limit.
Chen Boyan arranged for two people to light the fire at the end of the trap. Why two people? Because once the headhunters find that the street is blocked, they will definitely want to remove the blocked obstacles and dry firewood immediately, so two people are necessary.
Ignite fire at the same time, giving no time to the enemy.
There were nine people arranged at the entrance.
The entrance is the most critical place, because once the headhunters find that the people burning in front cannot pass, they will immediately turn back, and the time may only be a few minutes. Therefore, Chen Boyan and the others have to block the open entrance and pile up dry firewood within a few minutes.
ignite.
There is also a person who is responsible for looking out at the height of a building and conveying messages to the ambushed sheep tribesmen through body language.
Now, everything is ready!
Chen Boyan led everyone to lurk at the entrance of the trap, looking at the blurry figure on the rooftop in the distance.
No movement!
Waiting is painful
As time passed by, a group of sheep people became anxious.
Now, what people are most worried about is that the headhunters will not send pursuers.
If the headhunters don't send pursuers, then Chen Boyan's preparations will become meaningless.
It’s not just Chen Boyan and the others who are anxious, but also Olin.
At dawn, Olin followed Zhou Sen to the top floor of the shopping mall. The top floor of the shopping mall had a bird's-eye view of the entire street. Of course, Zhou Sen didn't know that Chen Boyan had laid a trap in that section, and he could only see it when a fire broke out.
.
Unlike Olin, who was watching from time to time, Zhou Sen did not look at the street at all, but was refining gold in the small room on the roof. This time, Zhou Sen, who had gained experience, did not melt the gold bricks into solid objects.
Instead of the beautiful golden beads, they melted into pieces of about ten grams of gold leaves.
The advantage of gold leaf is that it looks bigger and more dazzling.
After melting two gold bricks, Zhou Sen came out of the hut.
"Will the Headhunter cavalry come?" Orin couldn't help but ask after all.
"Yes." Zhou Sen replied affirmatively.
"What if they don't come?"
"Nothing unexpected." Zhou Sen shook his head.
"Why are you so sure?" Olin couldn't understand Zhou Sen's confidence. As a reporter who has contacted countless big figures, Olin is very disgusted with overconfident politicians because they often become arrogant due to overconfidence.
, in the end, I was stubborn and refused to listen to suggestions.
In fact, when Zhou Sen said that he could build an industrial system by himself, Olin subconsciously felt a little disgusted with Zhou Sen.
"If you were the military leader of the headhunters and eleven cavalrymen disappeared, would you remain indifferent?"
"I………"
"For the headhunters, the cavalry is the trump card in defeating the sheep tribe, and eleven cavalry are already a very powerful military force, so they will definitely get to the bottom of it." Zhou Sen looked at the dilapidated building at his feet.
This city has been covered by forests. Even on the roofs of buildings, there are many towering trees. They are now standing under a big tree on the roof of the building.
"Okay, just assume that they will send someone to check, so why does it have to be at dawn?" Olin didn't understand why Zhou Sen was sure it was at dawn in the morning.
"The reason is very simple. It is very dangerous at night, and the Headhunters are also afraid of being ambushed by the Sheep Tribe. Therefore, it is safer for them during the day. In other words, at dawn, the Headhunters will be eager to send people out to follow and check."
"..." Olin thought for a while and said nothing. She wanted to question it.
"In ten minutes at most, the headhunters will appear." Zhou Sen raised his head and glanced at the increasingly brighter sky.
"Why are you so sure?"
"You want to know why?"
"think."
"Okay, fulfill your promise in prison and let me give you a hug." Zhou Sen said teasingly.
"You weren't like this before." Olin frowned. In her impression, Zhou Sen was a gentleman who was not womanizing, and he could ignore even the beautiful Qin Ge in front of him.
"After three years in the army, a sow turned into a Diao Chan." Zhou Sen shrugged and said with a smile.
"Are you calling me a sow?" Olin's face showed displeasure. Although she was very confident in her appearance, she did not like to be disparaged.
"To use a metaphor..." Zhou Sen smiled awkwardly.
"Let's make a bet." Orin gritted her teeth.
"explain."
"If the headhunter cavalry shows up within ten minutes, I will...I will fulfill my promise in prison to give you a hug. If they don't show up, you must respect me from now on and not be as rude as before." Olin said.
He said with a serious face.
"I hate your serious look." Zhou Sen frowned.
"Do you agree or not?" Olin asked.
"promise."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
"It's a deal..."
Before Olin finished speaking, suddenly, there was a faint sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance.
That's right, it's the sound of horse hooves.
The expression on Olin's face suddenly turned to stone. This was really incredible.
Zhou Sen glanced downstairs, and then looked at Olin leisurely.
"I lost. How did you calculate the accurate time?" The expression on Olin's face was very complicated, including surprise, frustration and a bitter smile.
Zhou Sen did not answer Olin, but smiled and glanced at the street in the distance.
"Come on, I will fulfill my original promise!"
Orin closed her eyes, and a shy blush appeared on her fair face, which reflected the morning glow.
