Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Chapter 295 Trap

The so-called traps are just pits slightly larger than a human body, but only one foot deep. It seems that they do not serve the purpose of a trap at all.

Then Su Dingshan came to where Fat Tiger was digging the pit, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well dug, dense enough!"

"This pit is useless. It's completely useless. If you dig it deeper, you could call it a horse trap."

Fat Tiger was completely puzzled by these traps. In his opinion, tens of thousands of such traps were meaningless.

"Go find some uneven rocks, half the size of a head would be best. Go find them quickly and put one in each pit."

Su Dingshan ignored Fat Tiger's complaints and continued to command everyone.

……

As for Jia Yixiao, when he and his men approached the ambush, he instantly ordered them to turn around and run back. They were all infantry, with very few on horseback. If the Xiongnu pursued them, they would definitely not be able to outrun them on two legs.

Jiga Wa, who was ambushing on both sides, became furious when he saw these people running away.

"These Mayi soldiers didn't even fall into my ambush trap."

"Master, don't be angry. They are just two-legged sheep. We have war horses. It is only a matter of time to catch up with them. With just one order from you, we will make sure they die on the road to escape."

A small tribal leader hurriedly said.

"Yes! You're right. Bring five thousand men to chase them. Kill one for each one you kill."

Jiga Wa had few men around him, and could only send out a few thousand cavalry. Five thousand cavalry were chasing ten thousand infantry. Such battles were common in the past, and the cavalry usually had the advantage.

After Jia Yixiao ran two or three miles, he turned around and asked, "Is anyone chasing us?"

"General, looking at the dust rising behind us, there must be pursuers."

"What? Then what are you waiting for? Run faster."

He started running back after two miles and ran a long distance in one breath, at least five miles, but the cavalry still caught up with him.

Infantry can cover about 40 miles in an hour during a forced march (or escape), while cavalry can cover 120 miles in an hour in the mountains. With a distance of five miles between them, it doesn't take long for the cavalry to catch up with the infantry.

After running another three miles, large and small pits appeared on the ground, some of which were covered up.

"Oh no..." Someone accidentally fell into the pit, only to find that the soil was not even up to his ankles.

"What the hell is this? A horse trap?"

"What's a horse trap? I think it's a scary pit."

"It's a trap to harm people!"

The soldiers who were busy escaping did not forget to tease each other.

Ten thousand people ran across the pit, and the ground was already full of potholes, with no sign of a trap.

When the pursuers arrived, they were really scared.

"Drive...! Go and take a look, what kind of trap is this?" The little leader tightened the reins, stopped the horse, and ordered his men.

"Chief, this is just an ordinary pit, but it looks quite new, as if it was dug by humans, and it doesn't look like a horse trap."

"If it's not a trap, why are they digging these?"

"Maybe they don't know how to trap horses!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, there must be a trick here, everyone, be careful when you go there, don't ride too fast!"

After saying that, everyone almost led their horses across the bumpy area, and no one encountered any accidents.

"Damn it, these idiots from the Central Plains, why are they digging these pits that have no strategic significance?" The little leader couldn't help but roar, which wasted a lot of time.

"Get on your horses and keep chasing..." A shout came from the Hun army.

After running all the way, Jia Yixiao's team was extremely tired.

"General Jia, run another three miles and you can stop. But there are pits ahead. Pass the order: jump over the pits and don't step into them."

There were more than a dozen people who came to support, standing in the middle of the team and shouting messages to the team.

When the pit was seen again, some people jumped over it, while others accidentally stepped into it. Most people were fine, and occasionally someone sprained their ankle, but the situation was not serious.

The pursuers behind were chasing from a distance and saw the people in front running past happily.

"Hurry up and chase them, they are right ahead." The Hun leader shouted loudly, and was about to catch up with the people in front.

"Ah!" someone shouted, and then the horse neighed and fell down with a thud.

This situation happened repeatedly. As the horses in front fell, the people behind also fell down without having time to dodge.

The scene fell into chaos in an instant.

As a last resort, the people behind had to go around and ride towards the foot of the mountain on both sides of the road.

The team dispersed and could not form a charge. Fat Tiger and Su Dingshan, who were ambushing on the mountain, saw this and shouted, "Shoot!"

Then, arrows flew all over the sky and shot towards the Huns indiscriminately.

Some of those who were shot by arrows fell off their horses, while others continued to move forward with arrows stuck in their bodies, like hedgehogs that had lost their quills.

Jia Yixiao turned around and saw this scene, knowing that this was the perfect opportunity to strike back. He brandished his sword and shouted, "Prepare to counterattack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers collapsed to the ground weakly, some of them pulling at their armor.

"I'm so tired, I'm out of breath from running!"

"It's so hot, is there any water?"

Ten thousand people staggered around, and no one obeyed Jia Yixiao's orders.

Arrows continued to be shot from both sides, and in an instant, thousands of Huns suffered varying degrees of casualties.

Seeing that he couldn't call out to these soldiers, Jia Yixiao was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

They ran ten miles in one breath. Although they were not in such a mess, they were already exhausted after running so hard.

At this time, the teams on both sides rushed down the mountain. Fat Tiger took the lead and came close to the Huns. He swung the wooden stick in his hand and hit an enemy chief on horseback.

Although it was just a wooden stick wrapped in iron, under his tremendous strength, the enemy chief's head under the leather helmet instantly flowed out a mixture of red and white substances, and he died on the spot.

Jia Yixiao was anxious and shouted, "You all clamor for revenge, but the Huns are right before your eyes, and you're just gasping for breath! Get up and kill them!"

After saying that, he didn't care about the reactions of these people and rushed forward with a few mounted generals.

"Get up, let's go kill the enemy. We can't let people look down on us. Kill!"

A tired soldier stood up, half of his arm exposed, shouting loudly.

"Kill! Whoever shows signs of fear is a bastard." Another shirtless soldier stood up, picked up his spear and followed closely behind.

Once someone took the lead, there was a second, a third... countless soldiers stood up, and finally everyone rushed forward.

They were all passionate young men from Mayi County. When they knew something happened in their hometown, they were like evil spirits. When they met the enemy, they were not afraid of death and fought fiercely against the enemy.

The spear was stuck in the enemy's body and could not be pulled out. He used whatever weapon he picked up and still bravely charged into the enemy group.

Twenty thousand people fought against ten thousand people. After only two quarters of an hour, the battlefield instantly returned to calm from the previous noise.

It seemed as if the roar just now was just a gust of wind blowing by, leaving behind a silence that could be heard through falling leaves.
