Chapter Twenty-Six: The Trap Trap

A large group of Qing troops chased after them from behind, and Guo Feng retreated with the native soldiers, leading the Qing soldiers into the trap.

The dense primeval forest was full of murderous intentions, and the Qing army had just chased down less than 100 paces before one person tripped over a climbing vine on the ground. The soldier stumbled and fell on the moss-covered stones, and gnawed on the mud. But he was a lucky man, because the mechanism connected by the climbing vine was activated, and a large stone placed on the tree in front of him fell, and under the pull of a rope, it crashed into the crowd of Qing soldiers, and the flesh and blood of the Qing army flew sideways.

The stone was hung by a rope made of thick vines from the tree, and after hitting the crowd of Qing soldiers, it flew up again, and fell back again like a pendulum, crashing into the crowd of Qing soldiers again, knocking many Qing soldiers into the air.

This hundred-pound boulder hit back and forth like a pendulum, knocking over more than a dozen Qing soldiers in a row, and finally the green vine broke, and the stone fell down, smashing a Qing soldier into a human-shaped meatloaf.

The mechanism made of stones and green rattan delayed the pace of the Qing army, and Guo Feng in front of him pulled the Qing soldiers away for a distance.

Gao Dejie, who suffered a big loss, was furious, and ordered the Qing army to chase after him, vowing to arrest all the hateful guys in front of him and break them into thousands of pieces in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.

The Qing army chased after him for a while, but the three Qing soldiers who rushed in front stepped into the air and fell into the trap.

Gao Dejie saw his three soldiers suddenly disappear from the ground, and a series of screams came from underground. He stepped forward to take a look, only to see three Qing soldiers lying in the trap, pierced by sharpened wood.

Taking advantage of the slowing down of the Qing army's pursuit, Guo Feng took two hundred archers and rewarded the Qing army with a random arrow, and then continued to lead the Qing army into the bamboo forest.

The Qing army chased into the bamboo forest, and as a result, they enjoyed the bamboo feast carefully prepared by Guo Feng for them.

Someone had just run a few steps and tripped over a hemp rope buried in the bamboo leaves, and suddenly the bamboos bent by the rope in the bamboo forest on both sides bounced straight one after another, and rows of sharpened bamboo spears flew out. shot into the crowd of Qing soldiers, and shot five Qing soldiers in one fell swoop.

After another period of pursuit, a bamboo row suddenly fell from the top of his head, and a large stone was pressed on the bamboo row, and the bottom of the bamboo row was sharpened bamboo, nailing the three Qing soldiers to the ground at once.

Gao Dejie, who was furious, led the Qing army in hot pursuit, and someone stepped on a stone slab, and the rope hidden under the stone slab drove the mechanism, and a row of bamboo guns shot down from the top of his head, and nailed four Qing soldiers to the bamboo forest. Followed by. Someone stepped on the trap with one foot, and two Qing soldiers fell into the trap, and their whole bodies were pierced with bamboo.

"Watch your step!" Gao Dejie shouted.

The Qing army, which had suffered several heavy losses, became cautious, and every time they chased a few steps, they had to use the spear in their hands to flick a few times into the bamboo leaves and fallen leaves on the ground in front of them to see if there were any traps.

Out of the bamboo forest and chased into a forest, the Qing soldiers still cautiously advanced so as not to step on the trap. It was at this time. Suddenly, the spear in the hand of a Qing soldier seemed to pick up a rope.

"Ahh The soldier screamed in surprise and hurriedly retreated a few steps.

The Qing soldiers in the back retreated one after another, so as not to suddenly appear as a killing mechanism. However, the killing mechanism did not appear, but a huge object was seen falling from the tree in front of him with a "pop". The object fell to the ground. Broken into several pieces. Gao Dejie saw with his own eyes that the thing suddenly "buzzed", and countless wasps flew out of it.

"Hornet's nest!" Gao Dejie turned around and ran.

All the Qing soldiers turned their heads one after another, spread their legs and ran desperately. But where can a man outrun a hornet, a large swarm of hornets chase after him from behind. In the crowd of Qing soldiers, they stung desperately, and the Qing soldiers cried and shouted for their mothers, screaming again and again.

It's not over yet. The two native soldiers hiding in the bamboo forest saw the Qing soldiers running back, so they pulled the rope hidden in the ground.

The mechanism hidden in the bamboo forest was activated, and the bamboo that was bent by the rope shot out the bamboo gun hanging on it, and the Qing soldiers who couldn't dodge were shot so that they cried and cried for their mother. Some of the Qing soldiers who moved faster fell to the ground, but the stones hanging from the bamboo forest fell and smashed them into meatloaf. When the Qing soldiers stood up and wanted to run, the bamboo rows hanging on the bamboo forests on both sides hit the middle, and nailed a group of Qing soldiers to the ground.

Making all kinds of traps is a piece of cake for Guo Feng who doesn't collect it at night. At that time, when he was training, Wang Xinyu personally taught them how to create various traps in the jungle to get rid of the pursuers behind, and at the same time use traps to kill and injure a large number of enemies.

In fact, the production methods of various traps are very simple, not to mention traps, every hunter can make them. The so-called bamboo gun and bamboo arrow is to choose the bamboo with the best elasticity and bend it with a rope, and use a hook made of bamboo to pull the rope and tie the bamboo gun and arrow. The firing range is not far, only about twenty paces, and the accuracy is not high, but a burst of fire to the dense pursuers by surprise can cause certain casualties.

As for the pendulum stone, it is to use the principle of gravity to tie hundreds of catties or even thousands of catties of boulders with very strong thick vines, hang them on a big tree in front, and fix them with wood. When someone steps on the rope and touches the mechanism, the wood holding the stone loosens, and the stone falls down under gravity, but because there is a thick vine tied to the stone, the stone will hit back and forth in the crowd like a pendulum, which can kill and injure a large number of Qing soldiers.

Bamboo raft is a kind of hanging on a tree, with a large stone pressed on it, and at the bottom is a row of sharpened bamboo and wood organs, someone touches the mechanism, and the gravity of the stone falls with the bamboo row, which can kill a large number of people.

As for the hornet's nest mechanism, many local hunters in Yunnan know how to make it, first climb up the tree, wrap the hornet's nest with a piece of linen, and then sawn the place where the hornet's nest connects with the tree, and then tie it with a rope. When someone touches the mechanism, the sackcloth that wraps the hornet's nest falls first, and then the rope that holds the hornet's nest is released, and the hornet's nest falls to the ground.

Seeing Gao Dejie, who had turned into a pig's head, came back dejectedly, Wu Guogui shouted and asked, "What about the thief?" ”

"We beheaded eleven of them, but the thieves were so cunning that they set traps on the road, and we lost more than 100 of our brothers. The last general was about to catch up, and the thieves released another hornet's nest, which stung many of the brothers. As the brothers ran back, the cunning thieves used the trap to kill and wound many of them. Gao Dejie cried and reported with a sad face.

Speaking of Gao Dejie, he also held his breath, his martial arts are strong, and all he leads are elite soldiers who are good at fighting, but he didn't even see the enemy, so he was beaten like this with traps.

Mu Zhongxian was not idle, he took advantage of Guo Feng's opportunity to attract the Qing army, and once again came to a high ground to set up an ambush. When the Qing army passed through the valley, the Ming army and the native soldiers pushed down the rolling wood and stones from the mountain, killing and wounding a large number of Qing soldiers.

Wu Guogui was furious and personally led 3,000 elite soldiers to chase after these hateful attackers. When he went up from the side, saw the "Mu" flag, and then saw a young man in white commanding the Ming army, Wu Guogui was overjoyed: "The thief in front must be the prince of the puppet Ming Kingdom!" Give it to me! Capture the prince of the puppet country and reward a thousand taels of silver! ”

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the Qing army will chase after them without their lives.

Guo Feng exchanged positions with Mu Zhongxian again, asked Mu Zhongxian to withdraw from the path, and led more than 400 native soldiers to attract the attention of the Qing army, leading the Qing army into traps and traps.

Wu Guogui learned the lesson of Gao Dejie, and did not dare to pursue from the rear, but divided his troops into two ways and outflanked the pursuit from both flanks.

But Guo Feng took a path that could only accommodate one person, and climbed along the ridge to the top of the mountain. The Qing army was outflanked from both flanks, and it was in an unfavorable terrain. As a result, the native soldiers rolled the wood and stones, and smashed them with heavy casualties. When a part of the Qing soldiers detoured back to Guo Feng and them, they found themselves in a dead end and entered the mouth of a gourd.

The native soldiers condescended from the top of the mountain to fire a volley of arrows, smashing down the rolling wood and stones, and annihilating more than 200 Qing soldiers who had burrowed into their pockets.

Then Guo Feng turned back with the native soldiers and threw firewood and grass burning with fire at the Qing soldiers from a high place, blocking Wu Guogui's way and forcing the Qing soldiers to turn back.

Mu Zhongxian took advantage of Guo Feng's opportunity to attract the pursuit of the Qing army, and once again bypassed the path, appearing on both sides of the mountains on both sides of the river valley through which the Qing army's Chinese army passed.

The rolling wood and stones on the mountain fell down, smashed into the Qing army, killed and injured many Qing soldiers, smashed the horses of the Eight Banners were shocked, several Eight Banners soldiers were overturned by the frightened war horses, fell into the river and were swept away by the river, and some of the war horses rushed into the Qing infantry crowd, trampled and trampled to death many people. One of the big stones landed on the avenue less than ten steps away from Ai Xing Ah and Wu Sangui, which startled Wu Sangui a lot.

"Lord Wang! What did you do as a Pioneer officer? Can you put thieves on top of our Chinese army? Ai Xing Ah angrily questioned Wu Sangui.

Seeing that the Manchurian Lord was angry, Wu Sangui was taken aback, and hurriedly apologized: "Wu Guogui and Gao Dejie's two shafts are not effective in fighting, and this king will go back and punish them!" Please calm your anger! ”

Then Wu Sangui ordered Xia Guoxiang and Hu Guozhu to bring 3,000 soldiers who were best at mountain warfare to deal with the Ming army that attacked him on the mountain.

The soldiers are also a kind of native soldiers, they are the elite recruited by Wu Sangui from the native soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is far above Mu Zhongxian's native soldiers, and they are the same as ordinary native soldiers, they are also good at mountain warfare, good at climbing mountains and mountains, good at crossing jungles, and can walk on flat ground in the complex mountainous terrain of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Encountered the pursuit of the Wu army, Mu Zhongxian could not get rid of the pursuit of the Wu army, and was bitten by the Wu army, losing more than 50 native soldiers and more than 10 personal soldiers, and still couldn't get rid of these Qing troops who were biting their tails like poisonous snakes.

"Yikes!" A five-short man with thick limbs jumped out from the side, and two huge plate axes in his hands slashed down, cutting down a Ming soldier on the mountain road.

Mu Zhongxian waved the mace, the ancestral weapon left by his father, and hit the Tianling Gai of the soldier with a stick. This stick is ferocious and abnormal, like Mount Tai pressing the top. Who knew that the soldier did not dodge or dodge, but roared, his whole body bent, the whole person rushed forward, and the double-plate axe slashed towards Mu Zhongxian's waist. (To be continued.) )
