Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 324 Digging a Pit
"Well, we brought a lot of medicine this time, which should be able to last for a while." Cheng Qing said.

"However, it's still not enough." Bai Xiuyuan sat down on a chair nearby, took a sip of tea, and said, "Qiu Yu said that there were a lot of herbs on the mountain road we took when we came here, and they wanted to dig some. "

"Well, let them go, but tell them to be careful." Cheng Qing said.

"Don't worry, they are all very skilled. They are much more familiar with each other on the mountain." Bai Xiuyuan looked at her absent-mindedly and asked, "Qing'er, what's wrong? Haven't you figured out a way yet?"

Bai Xiuyuan just went out to leave her space to think about the enemy's strategy.

"No, it's hard to think of a long-term solution, and it's hard to find a short-term solution." Cheng Qing sighed.

"I have a way." Bai Xiuyuan smiled.

"What method?" Cheng Qing asked.

Bai Xiuyuan said: "If we dig deep pits on the ground of the battlefield, then their crossbows will be useless."

"What a good idea." Cheng Qing praised: "I'll calculate the specific location now, and let's dig a hole tonight."

"Ah."

……

At night, Jialianguan is very quiet.

The Yuan army's spies also arrived nearby.

After Wu Mengtian returned during the day, he was so crazy that he couldn't figure out whether his old enemy was alive or dead?

In the evening, I couldn't wait to call someone to find out the truth.

As soon as the spy reached the hillside not far from the city gate, he was hit by a steel ball and died on the spot as soon as he stuck his head out.

The spies behind realized something was wrong and immediately turned around and retreated.

However it was too late.

Several black shadows flashed past, and a red line appeared on their necks, killing them with one blow.

The spies here have been dealt with, and several dark figures appear one after another.

It was Cheng Qing, Qiu Feng and the others.

Cheng Qing said to them in a low voice: "This spy is definitely more than that. He will clean up everyone around here and don't let anyone go."

"Yes."

Everyone responded and dispersed.

Not long after, the four signal flares lit up.

On the city tower, Bai Xiuyuan counted the signal flares until the last one lit up, and asked someone to send a message from behind.

After a while, the city gate opened and people poured out like a tide.

Tens of thousands of people ran outside.

Bai Xiuyuan used Qing Kung Fu and jumped down. Several rabbits jumped up and down, and ran to the front.

He held a long strip of cloth in his hand, which had been measured long ago. Now straightened, it was the distance measured by Cheng Qing.

Everyone stood in rows with shovels or other tools that could dig the soil.

Bai Xiuyuan marked out the location with his sword and ordered everyone to start digging.

Tens of thousands of people worked enthusiastically, with an even and clear division of labor and harmonious connections, without a word of nonsense.

An hour later, the pit was completed.

It is three feet wide and one foot deep.

Immediately afterwards, they made a disguise to ensure that there would be no problem stepping on it with human weight, but the heavy tank would definitely fall.

After working until midnight, everyone called it a day and went back to sleep.

As for the Yuan army, Wu Mengtian didn't sleep all night. Why?

Because none of the spies he sent out came back alive.This made him very angry.

No matter how difficult it was, I still endured it until dawn the next day.

Early in the morning, Wu Mengtian led the army to attack Jialian Pass again.

Tens of 10 people and horses set out for Jialianguan in a mighty manner.

But this time, what he didn't expect was that the gates of Jialian Pass would be wide open.

And waiting for him were thousands of archers.

This time Cheng Qing brought the 'Clairvoyant' with him.

See the army coming in great strength.

Cheng Qing looked over with clairvoyance. Wu Mengtian was looking at her, but his face was very ugly. When he saw what she was using to look at him, he showed a puzzled expression.

Cheng Qing's lips curved into a slight smile.

This smile made Miao Lu look at him several times.

Miao Lu almost wanted to cry. Cheng Qing looked so much like their marshal when he put on armor, his voice was similar, his behavior and even his smile were almost exactly the same.

Is this really their marshal?
But why don't you admit it?
The sadness in his heart turned into a river, and Wumengtian in the distance stepped into the trap set by Cheng Qing step by step.

Wu Mengtian has been completely attracted to Cheng Qing. After being enemies for a long time, there is always an inexplicable magnetic field between them. It is this kind of magnetic field that allows them, no matter how far apart they are, to still rely on a little temperament that disgusts them. Determine who the other person is.

He was sure that the person facing him was the one who defeated him.

But isn't he already dead?
When he died, he even sent someone to check the body, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But now, how could he be resurrected from the dead?
Just when Wu Mengtian was struggling, the chariot suddenly tipped forward and fell out instantly.

The whole person rolled in a big circle on the ground, and then he heard a very chaotic sound behind him.

"General!"

"The chariot is overturned!"

Wu Mengtian stood up and saw dozens of crossbow chariots behind him all falling into the pit.

Once such a heavy tank collapses, it will be difficult to get it out.

When Cheng Qing saw that the plan was successful, he gestured downwards.

When Wu Hong received it, he immediately raised his flag and ordered the archers to release arrows.

After a few rounds, the arrows of thousands of people almost achieved the effect of firing ten thousand arrows at once.

A hail of arrows fell into the enemy troops, and many people were hit by arrows instantly.

Several arrows almost hit Wu Mengtian, but several loyal men blocked the arrows for him with their bodies.

Afterwards, the shield stood in front of him and blocked Cheng Qing's sight.

The enemy retreated again.

Cheng Qing did not order to pursue the victory, but sent people to drag the chariots back.

Miao Lu followed Cheng Qing and asked, "Marshal, why don't we pursue the victory and regain the lost ground?"

Cheng Qing walked down the tower and said: "What are you chasing? The opponent has 50 troops. How many are we? 30. In terms of numbers alone, we have already lost to them. Besides, Wu Mengtian made a mistake. He didn't expect that there would be one People who look exactly like Cheng Yue appear, so they retreat again and again in defeat. But retreating is not fleeing. They still have the capital to fight. If it is a last-ditch battle, it is uncertain who will lose and who will win. What's more, in the hands of Wu Mengtian , not just these dozens of eight-hundred-mile-long crossbows."

"More than just these dozens? How many did they build?" Miao Lu frowned.

"The exact number is 120 in total, and Wu Mengtian brought out fifty." Cheng Qing said.

Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, she could still notice how many tanks the opponent had. Miao Lu was impressed and asked: "The marshal has already won two small victories, how about a celebration banquet? We just haven't had time yet. To receive the wind and wash away the dust for the marshal."

"Old Miao, the war is tense now, so don't mention it now. It won't be too late to mention the celebration banquet after the Yuan army is driven out of the border." Cheng Qing said.
