Let's count the votes.
The consequences of a horse losing its front hooves, especially when it was galloping at full speed, were very serious. Once it happened, the horse's head would directly fall to the ground. If it used its head to hit the ground while moving at high speed, one could already imagine the outcome. The warhorse would either die or be seriously injured, and the person on the horse would be no different from being hit by a truck.
If they were thrown out and smashed onto the ground, they would also be severely injured.
The consequences would be even more terrifying if such a thing happened during a charge.
Furthermore, it wasn't just one or two riders who lost their front leg. A large group of Xiong Nu cavalrymen who were charging at the front all lost their front leg. Warhorses fell to the ground one by one, and the Xiong Nu soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The stench of blood permeated the battlefield.
The Xiong Nu cavalrymen at the back did not expect such a terrible situation to happen on the seemingly flat ground. They couldn't stop their warhorses in time. They crashed into the warhorses that had fallen to the ground, causing them to fall. Some of the riders who were skilled in horsemanship leaped over the fallen warhorses. However, the warhorses also lost their front leg after they landed.
They fell to the ground in an instant.
"Er Ji, there's a pit!"
"Pit, it's a huge pit!"
"Mama, what a huge pit."
"No, why are there so many pits? Pit the Xiong Nu!"
Under the hooves of the horses, one could see that the flat ground, which looked no different from usual, was covered with grass, had collapsed under the hooves of the horses.
Pit 1!
There were pits everywhere.
Who knew how many pits were hidden under the grass? Pit after pit, pit after pit, pit after pit.
Caught off guard, the charging Xiong Nu cavalrymen fell into chaos. The Xiong Nu cavalrymen were in a miserable state. Before they even reached the halfway point, they were already in a complete mess. The casualties were severe. They died under the powerful impact of the warhorses. Many Xiong Nu cavalrymen were flattened into meat paste. It was a hellish scene.
In that instant, Liu Bao's complexion looked as if he had entered a dyeing workshop. His face alternated between red, white, and black. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he stared at the large and small pits on the ground where the warhorses had trampled. The anger and grievance in his heart couldn't be described with words.
The cavalry came across a pit, and the ground was full of pits.
That kind of situation was definitely a disaster, an unimaginable disaster. Especially after charging forward, he discovered that there were pits everywhere. That would be an unimaginable disaster.
No warhorse could fight in such an area, let alone charge.
Charging meant death.
The path ahead was full of pits.
It was also covered by grass, so it was impossible to tell which place was a pit and which wasn't.
It was like a minefield filled with countless landmines. No one knew where those pits would appear.
In any case, Liu Bao felt that everything in front of him was a trap.
Looking at the heavy casualties on the cavalrymen and warhorses, Liu Bao's expression was extremely unpleasant. His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, while the flames of fury in his eyes were about to ignite the entire valley. It was burnt to the ground. It was completely incinerated.
"Damn Han people! Cunning Central Plainsmen! You're such a scammer!"
Liu Bao let out an indignant roar towards the sky.
His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Xuanhuang Village. Almost everyone could see the murderous intent in his eyes. If looks could kill, Xuanhuang Village would probably be reduced to ruins.
Looking at the large area in front of him, there was still a long way to go before he reached Xuanhuang Village.
At such a distance, who knew how many pits there were in the ground in front of him.
Just a bunch of pits, big and small, had turned the Xiongnu's killer weapon, the cavalry's advantage, into nothingness in an instant, leaving nothing behind. No cavalry could step into such a large pit. Even humans would fall into the pit if they walked in.
These pits were too disgusting and despicable.
Just now, the number of soldiers who had fallen into the pit numbered in the thousands, and the number of injured was uncountable.
Many Xiongnu people looked horrified. Looking at the plain in front of them, no one dared to drive their horses forward. Looking at the ground in front of them, all of them looked terrified.
They had never felt that a piece of ground could be so horrifying, so terrifying.
"Hahaha, it's good that they're dead. It's so satisfying. These Xiongnu people also have a day like this. It's so satisfying. "
"Looking at the Xiongnu cavalry losing their footing and being sent flying, it's so wonderful. It's like drinking three cups of good wine. It's so satisfying. They also have a day like this. These foreign races deserve to be killed. "
"There are many pits here that I dug. I must have killed many of them. It's so satisfying to dig pits for the Xiongnu people myself. "
"We're good at digging pits. In the past, I used a shovel to dig a pit. Now that I'm ten times stronger than before, I can dig a big pit. If I don't bury a few Xiongnu people, it'll be a waste of my effort. "
"It's good that they're dead. The more these man-eating beasts die, the better. Since you dared to eat us Central Plainsmen, I'll dig pits and kill you."
On the city walls, many commoners saw the scene of the Xiongnu charging into the pits and laughed happily. It was so satisfying. They had a part to play in the Xiongnu people's deaths.
Previously, when they heard that they were going to dig pits outside to deal with the Xiongnu, the villagers all enthusiastically participated. One by one, they picked up their hoes and dug pits in the ground. The villagers were all stronger than ordinary people, and their strength was greatly increased. The speed at which they dug the pits was extremely fast, and without much effort, the surroundings of the village were filled with pits of various sizes.
Furthermore, the villagers who had awakened the Growth Aperture used their mystiques to make the nearby grass grow quickly, covering the pits quickly. From the outside, it was almost impossible to see anything wrong. At least not from the outside. But if a warhorse stepped on it, it would definitely lose its footing and fall into the pit. This was especially true for the cavalry who were charging forward. They were going to be tricked to the point where ghosts and gods wailed.
It was a miserable scene.
The current scene was exactly like that.
Digging pits was a very common method, but at this moment, it had an unimaginable effect. It caused the Xiongnu people to suffer heavy losses, and the cavalry did not dare to move. The area in front of them was too terrifying for them.
Without warhorses, the Xiongnu people would become infantry, and they would not even have 30% of their fighting strength.
"My lord, digging pits outside the village is indeed the best way to deal with the cavalry. At least the Xiongnu people would not be able to cross this area with their cavalry. The cavalry's greatest strength was the speed of their warhorses, and their charging power allowed them to advance and retreat freely. But now, they were cut off. It completely destroyed their morale. Their morale was greatly reduced. Their threat has been greatly reduced. "
Huang Chengyan smiled as he stroked his beard and said slowly.
Digging pits was a very simple matter, but not everyone knew how to dig them and how to use them.
In the past, who would have thought that a few pits outside the village would be able to render the Xiongnu cavalrymen helpless? Cutting off their own limbs. And even if the Xiongnu people knew that there was a pit in front of them, they would not be able to deal with it. This was an overt plot.
Let me tell you, there is a pit in front of you. Do you dare to come?
"That's right. In the past, when we fought with the foreign cavalry, we mostly used horse tripping ropes and barricade posts to block them, but not many people thought of digging pits to completely make the cavalry lose their power. This pit is really a stroke of genius. I'm afraid these Xiongnu people are in a dilemma. "
Yang Ye also said in amazement.
The method was simple, but the key was that no one thought of it.
"My lord, although this plan is simple, it is very effective." Yang Yanping also looked at Yi Tianxing with admiration. At least he had not thought of such a method before. They all used the formation to fight the enemy head-on.
Usually, there were heavy casualties.
Of course, on the battlefield, no one would give you the opportunity and time to dig pits.
That was the most suitable thing to do at this moment.
Adapting to the local conditions was the essence of the art of war.
At least in terms of flexible use, Yi Tianxing had already shown a certain level of talent.
Cai Yan looked at Yi Tianxing with even more admiration and splendor.
"This Horse Trapping Pit Formation can only stop the Xiongnu cavalry. It will instantly reduce their strength by 70%. However, with the pit formation, I'm afraid that Liu Bao will think of retreating. My goal is to completely keep these Xiongnu people here and bury them here forever. The pit is for them. Send the signal. Seal the canyon for me. As long as we seal the exit, Liu Bao will be like a turtle in a jar. There will be no room for him to escape. "
Yi Tianxing looked at the Xiongnu army in front of the pit formation with a cold look in his eyes. In many people's eyes, there was a green glow. It was the look of someone who had eaten human flesh. Such people must not be left alive. Once they were left alive, they would be a disaster. Even his own conscience could not justify it.
Whoosh!!
A sharp whistling arrow pierced through the air.
Rumble!!
As the sound of the whistling arrow rang out, huge rocks fell from the sky above the canyon, smashing into the canyon. There were rolling logs and boulders. In just a few breaths of time, a section of the canyon was sealed off. The exit was completely sealed. It would not be easy to move it away.
"Oh no, they are trying to cut off our retreat. They have sealed the canyon. There is indeed an ambush above. However, they are not trying to deal with us, but to cut off our retreat. How cunning of the Central Plains people. "
The Shaman's expression changed, and a trace of anger appeared in his eyes.
They were trying to trap them. They wanted to kill them completely. They wanted to completely destroy the Xiongnu army.
Immediately, a strong wave of anger rose in his heart.
