Chapter 2024: Horse Tripping Rope and Horse Trap

"Boom--!"

A subtle sound came out of the Black Water Forest very suddenly.

Along with it, some smoke and dust appeared, passing through the crowns of the tall trees and rising into the sky.

"Enemy attack!"

The soldiers guarding the sentry position immediately sounded the alarm.

Such a big movement must be an enemy attack.

And whether it is a wave of Warcraft or an attack from the Blackwater Kingdom, there is actually no difference, and there will be no false alarms at all.

"It came so quickly. It has only been two days since the wave of monsters passed, and you are here. You are really impatient."

Orion stood on the city wall, looking at the smoke and dust in the Blackwater Forest, and sneered to himself.

If no information was received in advance, and traces of the enemy attack were suddenly discovered at this time.

It was indeed too late.

The enemy was almost hit in the face before he sounded the alarm, so he must have been caught off guard.

But now, the border garrison at Jushi Pass has been prepared and is waiting for the Blackwater Kingdom's army to attack.

As for the corpses of monsters spread outside the city wall that had not yet been cleaned up, it was just to create an illusion for the enemy that there was a serious shortage of manpower, and they deliberately stopped.

Since it is about taking advantage of the situation, the whole play must be performed.

The war is imminent, and any information asymmetry will have very serious consequences.

It's just that Cyborg didn't realize this problem.

The 100,000-strong army of the Blackwater Kingdom was still charging at full speed to attack the Great Stone Pass.

The loud and sharp alarm sound spread throughout the Great Stone Pass, and naturally reached Cyborg's ears.

"It's too late to sound the alarm now, don't you think?"

Cyborg sneered, and when he looked up, he could already see the towering walls of the Great Stone Pass.

With the attacking speed of the Blackwater Kingdom's army, no matter how fast the border garrison at Jushiguan reacted, they would not be able to organize a formation in such a short period of time to withstand this surprise attack.

"The whole army obeys the order and speeds up!"

"charge!"

With a loud shout, Cyborg pinched the horse's belly, and the horse under him accelerated again.

The 100,000-strong army that followed them also increased their speed, and the sound of horse hooves tapping the ground suddenly merged into a wave of sound.

Although the rapid march was silent, the rising fighting spirit made morale as high as a rainbow.

But at this time, a sudden change occurred.

At the intersection out of the Blackwater Forest, a large number of trip ropes were suddenly pulled up.

These stumbling ropes may be of no use to infantry, but they are very effective against galloping horses.

"Oops!"

With sharp eyes, Cyborg noticed the sudden appearance of the tripping rope.

But with the tripping rope right in front of us, it was only a few steps away, and even if we wanted to, we couldn't avoid it.

A hundred thousand troops charged rapidly, and even if they called for an emergency stop, they would not be able to stop instantly.

This distance is too delicately calculated.

"Bang bang——!"

The next moment, countless charging horses were tripped by the horse ropes.

Together with the soldiers on the war horses, they were thrown away and fell to the ground. Their bones were broken on the spot and they howled miserably.

However, the army behind did not stop advancing. The horses and warriors who were submerged in the torrent had nowhere to hide.

The casualties started at this moment.

Not even into the battle yet.

"Damn it! Why is there a tripping rope here? Could it be that I have been plotted?"

Cyborg couldn't figure out why there were so many tripping ropes at the intersection out of the Blackwater Forest.

However, the army of the Blackwater Kingdom is not a vegetarian.

After reacting, all the tripping ropes were quickly cut off, without affecting the speed of the charge at all.

"As expected of a well-trained expeditionary force."

Orion could clearly see this scene from the city wall.

Now that we have left the Blackwater Forest, the shelter of those tall trees has lost its effect.

The morale of the Blackwater Kingdom's army was still high after being tricked by the sudden appearance of Timasuo.

But the traps set by Big Rock Pass are not limited to tripping horse ropes.

Just as Orion expected, these galloping horses were once again thrown out in large numbers not far from the Blackwater Forest.

At such a fast charging speed, he suddenly fell down.

It's meaningless, both war horses and warriors will lose all combat effectiveness in an instant.

"This is... a trap!"

Cyborg's expression has completely changed.

If the previous stumbling block was just an accident, those traps were prepared for a long time.

There is a difference between trapping a horse in a trap and stumbling over a horse's rope.

The tripping rope is just a rope located below the knee of the horse's leg. Once you find it, just cut it off.

But the horse trap is a small hole only a circle larger than a horse's hoof. It was dug to limit the charge of the war horses.

It has no effect on either monsters or infantry.

But the mobility used to block the war horses is extremely effective.

Moreover, the horse trap is not as easy to solve as the horse tripping rope. It must be filled with soil or the like.

"slow down!"

Cyborg immediately ordered.

I don’t know how long the trap area ahead is.

If they continue to charge and use the bodies of Blackwater Kingdom soldiers to fill these horse traps, at least thousands of soldiers will be lost, and it is not impossible to even tens of thousands.

And it's also a huge blow to morale.

The real battle hasn't even started yet, and so many troops have been lost just because of these little traps.

The impact on military morale is really great.

"Did the news of the surprise attack on Jushiguan leak out? How is this possible!"

Cyborg, with a dark face, raised his eyes and looked at the Great Stone Pass not far away. The city wall, which was tens of meters high, was taller than before.

This side wall was the side wall that was specially raised after the war between the Flame Dragon Kingdom and the Black Water Kingdom.

From ten meters in the past, it has increased to dozens of meters.

"Cyborg, are you satisfied with the gifts we gave you at Jushiguan?"

On the city wall, Orion's voice rang out.

The Yanlong Kingdom and the Blackwater Kingdom have been fighting for a long time, and the commanders and lieutenants in the border areas have long been familiar with each other.

It's just that in the past, it was just a small fight. This is the first time that a hundred thousand troops have been dispatched for a surprise attack like this.

"It's you, Orion, is this the gift you gave me?"

Cyborg naturally knew Orion, so he raised his eyes and looked away with a somewhat solemn tone.

The lieutenants of the border garrison at Jushi Pass had no intention of coming forward.

In terms of rank, even if Cyborg is the highest commander of the Blackwater Kingdom's army, he is just a commander.

It's just right to let Orion come forward.
