Chapter 111 Trapping the Enemy
(Author's Note: Thanks to all book friends who support this book!)
Suddenly, I don't know who was the first to notice the abnormality. In the distance, a dense group of Yellow Turbans was coming along the north bank of the river bed.

"Yellow Turbans are coming! Everyone, hide!" The civilians on the shore shouted.

The civilians picked up the fish on the river bed and returned to the shore one after another, leading their wives and children to quickly avoid the Yellow Turban Army. Going back to the river and starting fishing again, this kind of good opportunity that has been rare for many years, for the poor common people, no one is willing to give up just like that.

Going forward along the dry course of the Xi River, Feng Yao and his entourage, who had successfully completed the drainage of the water, were sitting on the south bank of the river eating the dry food they brought with them. After a short rest in the eating space, you can ride your horse back to camp.

While nibbling the dry food in his hand, Feng Yao looked at the Xi River happily flowing along the widened ditch, with a satisfied smile on his face.

The reason why the Yellow Turbans dare not go out of the city is the best. Even if the Yellow Turbans can understand the reason soon, it will take more than a day and a night to spend several times more energy to divert the river back to the original river after the transfer of troops. Although it was a pity that he couldn't bring an army to ambush nearby, Feng Yao made many traps around here by using the holes dug out of the soil.

It was only halfway through eating the dry food when one of the attendants who had been sent out to watch suddenly galloped back. Seeing this, he jumped off his horse and knelt down on the ground and said anxiously, "My lord! There are a thousand yellow scarf troops coming along the north bank of the Hehe River. !"

Xu Chu, Yang Wu and other relatives immediately jumped up when they heard the words, and guarded Feng Yao.

"My lord! Let's retreat quickly! It's dangerous here!" Xu Chu said.

"Yes, my lord! After a busy night, the brothers are all tired and not suitable for fighting the enemy!" Yang Wu also said.

Feng Yao put away the rations and asked the entourage who reported the letter: "What kind of arms are these thousand enemy troops? Who is the general?"

The follower shook his head and said, "My lord! Commander Liu is currently investigating, let his subordinates come back and report first, the specific enemy situation will not be known until Commander Liu returns!"

"I got it! You get up first!" Feng Yao said, then his expression became condensed, and he looked around at the followers around him, "Everyone get ready immediately! Wait for my order!"

"Obey!" All the relatives responded in unison, quickly untied their horses from the tree, got on their horses one after another, drew out their swords at the same time, and lined up one by one.

After waiting for a while, the scout commander Liu came back by the way, and reported: "The enemy general Gong Yinglian led one thousand personal soldiers, five hundred shield soldiers, and five hundred spear soldiers! There are ten cavalrymen, and each of them has a shovel and other tools. The situation seems to be coming to dredge the river!"

Feng Yao's heart trembled, and he thought: "This Gong Yinglian is so smart! She guessed the reason directly, and she came prepared, she really shouldn't be underestimated!"

"My lord, do you want to retreat?" Yang Wu asked again.

"Don't be in a hurry to retreat! Since the enemy army has arrived so quickly, they must be in a hurry. I just waited across the bank to lure the enemy into a trap!" Feng Yao said with a gleam in his eyes.

Looking at the smoke and dust coming from the east, Feng Yao's face was calm with a trace of teasing, "Gong Yinglian didn't bring archers this time! Although there are five hundred spearmen, but in this fairly flat terrain Among them, only being dragged and beaten by the cavalry!"

Feng Yao didn't want to let the enemy rebuild the Xi River that he had been working all night to break!At least not very easy to get through!Anyway, with the advantage of the cavalry, they can retreat at any time, let's torture these poor melee units first!

Not long after, Gong Yinglian saw more than 100 enemy cavalry stationed on the south bank of the river, and then looked at the shovels carried by these cavalrymen, and immediately understood everything!
Seeing that there were no other reinforcements on the left and right, and the surrounding terrain did not seem to be able to hide the ambushes, the anger that had been simmering in Gong Yinglian's heart for a whole day finally broke out, and she pointed the spear in her hand at the horse riding leisurely on the south bank. Feng Yao yelled angrily: "The pikemen charged forward and stabbed those cavalrymen to death! Don't let the enemy's general run away!"

It is rare to see a cavalry team of more than 100 cavalry in the Central Plains. Those who can have such strength are the princes at the first level of the state herdsman, so Gong Yinglian judged at once that Feng Yao must be hiding among the more than [-] cavalry, even if he cannot be injured. Feng Yao, if he can destroy this group of cavalry, it will also deal a huge blow to Feng Yaojun!
"Kill——!" Gong Yinglian's [-] pikemen immediately let out a burst of roar, pointing their pikes obliquely, and standing side by side like a forest, they rushed forward along the north bank. In front of them, the river there was already covered. One section was cut off by an earth dam accumulated by soil and branches, and all the water of the Xi River was blocked by it, turning to a ditch to the south.

On the earth dam, the pikemen could easily rush to the other side. On the other side of the earth dam, there were more than 110 cavalry including Feng Yao, and they were lightly armed and unarmored cavalry!Although the earth dam can only allow one or two people to pass, it is enough for the pikemen. With one point of the pike, which cavalry dares to block the way!

"Come on! Go over there and stab those nasty cavalrymen to death!" The Yellow Turban Pikeman imagined the scene of the spear piercing through the enemy's body, and a smirk appeared on his face involuntarily.

However, when the spears were only more than ten feet away from the earth dam, dozens of spearmen rushing to the front suddenly stepped on the ground, and the ground in front of them sank suddenly, and a scream of panic suddenly came from the trap. The sound sounded, and the pikemen who were charging behind didn't react at all for a while, and couldn't stop their feet. In a few breaths, more than 200 pikemen fell into the trap.

This trap was actually made by Feng Yao when he was digging and filling the river, but Feng Yao purposely made the trap much deeper and wider, reaching a width of more than three feet, almost blocking all the easy roads on the north bank. As long as you walk along the north bank of the river, you will definitely fall into the pit. The depth of the pit has reached more than three feet high, and the bottom is filled with sharpened wood. Will fall half to death.

Feng Yao didn't expect the pikemen to charge! !
If you don't charge, this trap can only hurt one or two rows of enemy soldiers in the front, and the number of wounded enemies will not exceed one hundred, but the scene in front of you almost makes Feng Yaokui laugh out loud.

Five hundred pikemen fell down like dumplings. Even if an enemy soldier found that there was a pit ahead, they would still be knocked into the pit by the unidentified pikemen behind them who were charging. He was crushed to death by the pikemen who fell later.

Even the pikemen erected their spears in a panic, trying to stand up on the ground, but this action undoubtedly caused the tragic death of more yellow turban pikemen. He pierced through with his long spear, only to hear the sound of "Puff puff...!" The sound of the long spear piercing through the body, the erected long spear pierced through several yellow scarf soldiers one after another, and then fell down in the pit with a loud crash!

Five hundred elite soldiers with yellow turban spears were killed by Feng Yao's trap, and nearly three hundred were killed!

The Yellow Turban soldiers who escaped from the catastrophe looked at the bloody scene in the pit in horror, backed up again and again, and shouted: "There is a trap! There is a trap!!"

Although these pikemen were trapped by nearly [-] brothers at once, they were horrified for a while, but the general did not give the order to withdraw the attack. After glancing at the light cavalry on the other side, they were furious. Bring a saber and sword!Is this trying to challenge a spearman who is nearly two feet long! !

The Yellow Turban General of the Pikemen shouted loudly: "Brothers! There will be no traps in the river!! Rush through the river!! Kill those cavalrymen and avenge your dead brothers!!"

Amidst the shouts of the generals, the remaining spearmen turned their heads with soaring anger, and stepped directly on the mud to cross the river. The bottom of the river is not wide, less than two feet, and they can cross it in more than ten steps!As long as they pass, they will use the spears in their hands to vent their anger in their chests!

This series of events happened so suddenly that Gong Yinglian didn't understand what had happened to the pikemen in the front line until the roar of the yellow turban general, but before he could issue an order, the subordinate general led more than 200 pikemen who were furious The soldiers rushed over!
