The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 564 Very Strange Four Weeks
"Captain, look at how the grass in front seems to have been overturned. And why does the surrounding ground seem to be able to smell some blood?

It seems that the general's worry is not groundless, there is indeed a problem.

The soldiers who went to check the situation walked two miles away from Xu Chu's army.

I found that the color of the grass on the grass in front is different from that of other places, and it can be seen that it is obviously lighter.

In addition, they also smelled blood in the air, so they felt that there was indeed a problem.

But the captain didn't speak after hearing this, but took the initiative to get off his horse and go to the grass in front to check the situation.

But just when he stepped on these grasslands, the grass on these grasslands suddenly collapsed.

"Sure enough, it seems that the enemy has really set up an ambush here in advance, and there are traps. It seems that there may be such things on the road ahead. We must be more careful in this march."

After seeing these traps, the captain also directly grabbed a handful of soil inside the traps.

He returned to Xu Chu's side, and then began to report to Xu Chu.

"General, look, this is the enemy's trap we saw. It is exactly as you said. There should be ambushes on both sides, but they should still be in some places in front.

In the places closest to us, there are such traps in the grass on both sides.And it looks like it was set just now, but it can be clearly seen that these traps were made very hastily. "

After the captain came back, he also reported everything he had seen and heard to Xu Chu.

Xu Chu looked at the handful of soil that the captain handed over, and he was also thoughtful, because he could clearly see it.

The soil is one or two meters deep underground, which is obviously a trap specially prepared by the enemy for their cavalry.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to dig so deep, and with such evidence, it can be shown that the enemy must have been prepared all the way.

If they want to rush over, there will be certain risks, and if they want to pass safely, they have to use some other methods.

If they continue to rush forward like this, they will definitely encounter enemy traps and ambushes, and then they will be very dangerous.

Thanks to Xu Chu's prudent actions, otherwise their team would be in danger now.

Not long after Xu Chu came out of the camp, he felt that there seemed to be a problem on both sides, so he sent someone to investigate.

After the sent out people came back, they clearly told Xu Chu that the grassland in front of them was all traps set by the enemy.

It can be clearly seen that the enemy is preparing for them cavalry, that is to say, the enemy came over in a hurry and set up a trap.

Xu Chu and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news. Fortunately, he sent someone to check in advance.

If you didn't send someone to check in advance, if you rushed over so hastily, you might have been ambushed by the enemy by now.

At that time, I am afraid that there will be heavy losses, but now he finds out that it is not too late, after all, there are still ways to deal with it now.

And the enemy didn't seem to have ambushed soldiers near them, otherwise, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to come back if they went to check these things.

After Xu Chu was sure that the enemy had an ambush, his brains were spinning rapidly, trying to figure out how to solve the situation.

After all, it is not enough just to know that there is an ambush, but also to find a way to crack it, but the problem is that the enemy has not only set up troops in front.

I'm afraid there are quite a few traps arranged, this guy can say, as long as they can avoid them, but these traps are very troublesome.

After all, you don't know where these traps are, and they may appear anytime and anywhere, which will make them feel at a loss.

There is simply no way to march at full speed, which will greatly hinder them as a whole.

"General, I have an idea, we can send someone with a long gun to tie the wheel in front of the long gun.

In this case, let the horse drive behind, and I said that the wheels on the spear can detect in front.

If a trap is found, it can be warned in time.

In this way, the horses behind will not step on us, don't you think? "

Just when Xu Chu was thinking about how to crack it, one of Xu Chu's men also took the initiative to offer advice to Xu Chu.

After Xu Chu thought about it for a while, he realized that this method was indeed feasible, so he ordered to start making the wheel that the general said.

In fact, this person said oh, this method is actually very simple, that is, use trees to make small wheels, and then tie them to their spears.

Send the spear in front of the horse, and when the cavalry is moving forward on the horse, the wheel can extend two or three meters ahead.

In this way, if there is a trap on the grass or on the ground, it will collapse because the wheel travels on it.

In this way, the people behind will be alerted, and they will be able to bypass it, just like mine clearance in later generations.

"The general has been made, let's go now. After a quarter of an hour, all the necessary things have been made.

Finally, I asked Xu Chu for instructions. After Xu Chu looked at the things that had been made, he gave the order directly.

"Order all those with long guns to go ahead and keep moving forward at half the original speed."

Finally, under Xu Chu's order, their team went on the road again to commit crimes.

But this time was different from before, they also slowed down their speed this time.

After all, if the speed is too fast, even if the phenomenon is discovered, it will not be able to dodge in time.

It's good to slow down now, if you find a trap, you can avoid it in time.

After learning that the enemy had set up traps and ambushes ahead, Xu Chu also came up with a way to deal with it.

Then they marched again, but this time their walking speed was obviously much slower.

And the people on both sides of Xu Chu's side, after seeing Xu Chu's appearance, also sent people out to ask Xu Chu why he was moving like this.

After all, the current speed is obviously much slower than before, and Xu Chu also sent someone to explain this matter clearly to the commanders of the two pairs of troops.

After the robot learned the truth, it followed Zhao Yuan and the others to slow down.

After all, there is no guarantee that there are no traps on the road and on the grass, if they are still moving at the same speed as before.

It is very likely that they will run into a trap, and then they will turn their backs on their backs. This is something no one wants to see.

So they walked forward slowly at half the speed before, and after walking for a while, Xu Chu felt something was wrong.

Because they found a lot of traps along the way, although it is said that the traps are not connected, it can be clearly seen that the number is not small.

But when they approached the river bank, they slowly discovered that the number of these traps gradually decreased.

This is a bit abnormal. According to the previous situation, as they get closer to the river bank, there should be more and more traps.

The most important thing now is that the enemy will definitely set more traps on both sides of the river, but now it is completely opposite to this situation.

"Why do you say that the number of traps we have traveled along the way has decreased? Obviously, the number of traps should increase as we get to the bank of the river. Why is it exactly the other way around now?"

After thinking about it for himself, Xu Chu didn't understand this matter, so don't start discussing this issue with the generals below him.

As soon as Xu Chu asked, the following coaches also became silent and thought about why this was the case.

They didn't pay attention to this point at all before, but when Xu Chu said it, they felt that it was indeed the case.

So everyone started to think, but after thinking for a long time, no one came out to say anything.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly made a noise, which caught Xu Chu's attention.

"Several generals, I think I know why." Although the soldier spoke slowly, he was very bright and could be heard by the soldiers next to Xu Chu.

After the soldier finished speaking, all the soldiers looked at the soldier in unison.

"Really? Tell me what you think, and if that's the case, I'll promote you to sergeant major."

When Xu Chu heard what the soldier said, he was also a little curious, it was just a soldier.

Then he asked the soldier why he did this, and the soldier heard what Xu Chu said.

He also held back his excitement and began to explain his point of view.

"I think the reason for this is simply that the enemy's route is like this, and they have to reduce the number of traps as a last resort.

And the main thing is that they want to force us all to both sides of this river bank, where we will fight with them on the river bank. ".

When Xu Chu and the others slowly reached the bank of the river, they found that there were fewer and fewer traps.

This matter is actually very abnormal. After all, according to common sense, there must be more traps when Yue reaches the bank of the river.

In this way, he could restrict Xu Chu and the others from crossing the river, but the current situation was just the opposite, which had to attract Xu Chu's attention.

But Xu Chu never figured out why the enemy would do this. After all, this matter was indeed too abnormal.

Just when they couldn't figure it out, one of Xu Chu's soldiers suddenly came out to express his opinion.

Xu Chu and his managers were also silent, because they felt that what the soldier said seemed reasonable.

"Regardless of whether what you said is true or not, if you can have such an idea, it shows that you are not an ordinary person.

To be a mere soldier is too condescending, come here and give him a horse.From now on, you will be the sergeant major, and you will be on both sides of me, listening to my orders at any time. "

After Xu Chuyi listened to what the soldier said, he also felt that what the soldier said made sense.

Then regardless of whether what the soldier said was true or not, he was promoted directly.

The soldier was also ecstatic when he heard what Xu Chu said, after all, if he didn't have such an opportunity.

I'm afraid I'll be nothing more than a soldier in my life, and it's hard to have any chance to make contributions.

But now Zhao can be said to have directly made him flourish, and then Xu Chu led them to move on.

"General, we found traces of enemies ahead, but we didn't see any enemies nearby."

When they were not far from the river beach, the people below came to report to Xu Chu that they found traces of the enemy again.

But it was only the traces that the enemy had stepped on, but no one was seen nearby.

After Xu Chu saw this situation, he also knew that it seemed that he was about to run into an ambush by the enemy.

Because this is obviously because the transfer of personnel around here is too dense, so there is no time to hide all these whereabouts.

It was only then that they discovered it, and after Xu Chu looked at the map and compared it with the local scenery.

They also roughly determined their location, they had already walked very close to the river beach, which meant that they would arrive near the river beach soon.

And once they reach the river beach, there must be an ambush where the enemy is, and this will be their next main battlefield.

"Notify the whole army and be extremely vigilant. We will soon reach the edge of the river beach. After arriving there, the enemy's ambush must be revealed."

But Xu Chu wasn't too worried, after all, they had already made preparations in advance.

Then he gave the order to make everyone vigilant, so Xu Chu led his men and horses to move forward.

After walking for a short distance, they came to the vicinity of the river beach. After arriving here, they could clearly see that the two sides of the river beach were somewhat unusual.

Because there is indeed no trap near the river beach, and it is very flat, which does not conform to the basic characteristics of the enemy at all.

After all, the enemy had arranged so many traps on this road before, since there is no trap around here at this time.

Soon Xu Chu and the others came to the vicinity of the river beach. After arriving near the river beach, it was exactly as they thought before.

There were really no traps on either side of the river beach, which also confirmed what the soldier said before.

It seems that the enemy intends to use this river beach as their battlefield.

This would be even more beneficial, enclosing all of Xu Chu's teams here and making it easier to strangle them.

And the most important thing is to facilitate the enemy's mobilization, but Xu Chu and the others knew about this situation in advance.

Otherwise, I'm afraid they will be easily lured into this battlefield by the enemy.

"General, we have already reached the hinterland of the river beach ahead, and there is no trace of an enemy nearby. It seems that the enemy may not have ambushed in this section. I think we are really lucky this time."

After arriving near the river beach, Xu Chu and the others did not see any Turkic cavalry.

This also made all of Xu Chu's generals very confident.

Before, they were afraid that the enemy would have an ambush here, so they were always on tenterhooks.

But when they got to the river beach, they found that there was no enemy here.

It can't help but make all of them a little happy. After all, there is no enemy ambush, which means they are safer. Of course they will be very happy.

But Xu Chu kept frowning, because he felt that something was wrong.

"Do you really think that this enemy will not ambush us near this river beach?

The enemy is not a fool, and looking at the traces along the way, it shows that the enemy has already taken precautions against us.

They have spent so much effort digging so many traps, will they let this river beach go?

They clearly know that we are the best place near the banks of the river, how could they give up. "
