Chapter 493: Walking into a Trap (Seeking votes and subscriptions)

Before seeing the person, you can hear their voice first. The power brought by the two adult mammoths is indeed extraordinary. At this time, Luo Chong stood on the city wall. Wherever he glanced, he could see many tribesmen trembling.

Although they knew that they had the advantage of weapons and that it was difficult for the enemy to attack the city wall, they still couldn't help trembling, because these people really had never experienced such a big battle. Before joining the Han tribe, their so-called fighting was limited to hunting by dozens of people, or group fights between two small tribes. They really had never seen a scene like this where thousands of people came to attack.

However, when everyone saw the fluttering Han flag on the tower and the young leader standing under the flag, their hearts began to calm down.

Yes, their leader was so young and not afraid, so what qualifications did they have to be afraid? Everyone standing here, who is not older than the leader?

"Where is Xue Tu?"

"I'm here."

"You take the lead and start to form a shield and spear formation in the city. When the enemy attacks, retreat steadily. Be ready to close the back door at any time and make sure to block it and don't let the enemy break through. At the same time, you have to lead all the enemies to the back door, so that we have a chance to lock them all in."

"Yes."

"Where is You Ye?"

"I'm here."

"Go and bring Huishan and Rou Rou. Start from the east of Hanyang City, go around the river, hide in the east first, and wait for my orders."

"Yes."

"All soldiers, listen up. Behind you are your women and children, as well as your houses and fields. We must not let the enemy escape from the city. Everyone on the north wall, listen up. The enemy is equipped with a small number of bows and arrows, but they are all made of bone arrows. Don't be afraid. Take the shield to protect your body and try to squat behind the parapet.

Other old men who operate the bed crossbows, wait until the first wave of enemy attacks is over, then aim at those giant apes and hit them hard."

"Yes."

Luo Chong's several orders and pre-war mobilizations were immediately answered with a deafening response, which represented the soldiers' renewed confidence. Yes, just as the leader said, behind them were their families, houses and fields. Whether they would live a good life in peace or be captured by the enemy depended on the success or failure of today's battle. However,

as the leader, Luo Chong still felt that the soldiers around him were a little nervous. After all, being afraid in the heart was one thing, but the reaction of the body was the most real. So Luo Chong shouted to them again.

"Soldiers, do you see the open space behind the wall?"

"That's where you will build your house in the future. You may think that building a house and a high city is very hard. Not only do you have to move bricks, but you also have to cultivate the land and grow food. Do you feel tired?"

"But I want to tell you today that the opportunity has come. Do you want others to help you build the city and build houses? Do you want to have children and farm in peace?"

"Then capture a few more enemies. The more people you capture, the more people you will have to move bricks for you in the future. Do you understand?"

Hearing the leader's self-questioning and self-answering words, the people on the city wall burst into laughter and shouted that they would capture a few more alive and let these captives move bricks every day and tire them to death.

It must be said that Luo Chong's questions really touched their hearts, especially this spring migration and mobilization. In fact, many people were dissatisfied.

Some were old residents of Hanyang City. They had lived well, but now they had to move to the wasteland outside to rebuild their new homes. The newcomers had to move to the houses they had lived in before. Some newcomers thought that as long as they joined the Han tribe, they would be directly allocated houses and food distributed by the tribe. However, everything changed suddenly starting from this spring.

The Han tribe now not only had to open up wasteland and grow crops by themselves, but also had to hand over part of the food grown to the tribe. This was completely opposite to the original public ownership. This sudden reform action was not accepted by anyone so quickly. It was inevitable that everyone had some resentment in their hearts. However, Luo Chong did not take it to heart. Now they had not seen the benefits. When they saw the tangible benefits, the opponents would naturally shut up.

Just when Luo Chong had just calmed down the anxious mood of the crowd, the enemy's attack arrived.

The 1,500-strong Eastern Army, which had just crossed the river at night and was lured here by the cavalry arranged by Luo Chong in the early morning, plus the 1,000-strong Western Army hidden in the Eucommia forest, had successfully joined forces ten miles north of Fuma Pass after contacting each other. The two armies had a total of 2,500+ troops, plus 35 red-haired giant apes and two adult macaques. A group of people came all the way south from the north in such a swagger, and there was almost no enemy to match wherever they passed.

Well, this is of course nonsense. In front of such a large number of enemies, those small tribes of about a hundred people would not dare to provoke them. They would run away when they saw them, and those who could not outrun them would surrender immediately. What's more, there were no small tribes around, and they were basically absorbed by the Han tribe.

Such a large force of thousands of people would be a reinforced regiment even in modern times, and even more powerful in this era. Unfortunately, they once again encountered the Han tribe, the city wall, and Luo Chong.

On the other side, the cannibal totem warriors who came all the way south from the north also rushed up with their weapons, and the more than 30 giant apes took the lead and ran in front. It was at this time that Luo Chong first knew what kind of species the man-eating ape was.

To the north of Fuma Pass is a large hilly grassland. The terrain is very similar to the grassland terrain in Australia. In such a place without a single tree, the man-eating apes could not swing on the trees as before, but they did not run upright on their legs like humans, but ran diagonally forward on all fours like gorillas. This

was the first time Luo Chong saw the running posture of the man-eating ape. The first encounter was in the woods, and the second time was directly killed by the soldiers guarding the city. Luo Chong did not see it at the time, but now after seeing it, Luo Chong felt that the name he gave to this creature was not wrong.

Because they are apes, a transitional species between gorillas and humans, the hind limbs of man-eating apes are obviously longer than their forelimbs, which makes it difficult for them to land on all fours. Therefore, even when running on all fours, they can only run diagonally, with the hind legs basically exerting the force and the forelimbs only serving as a balance. Moreover, when not running, man-eating apes also like to walk upright. Although they do not stand so straight, they do stand on two legs. If we look at the murals in the stone slab prophecy, this race may really have the same ancestor as the humans here, but later took a different development direction.

But now it seems that this has been used, because they have rushed to the front, but did not attack directly.

It must be said that Luo Chong's tactics this time made the enemy very confused. They knew that the Han tribe was good at building high walls, and they would dig a moat around the city. When facing the enemy, the four gates were closed tightly, and they would never leave any loopholes for the opponent. Just like last time, they had already rushed to the city, but looking at the high walls of the Han tribe, they had no way to deal with it.

However, this time it was different. In order to break through the walls of the Han tribe, they even specially got two adult mammoths to help, ready to directly force their way into the city, but when they got to the front, they found that this time the Han tribe did not close the door, but got hundreds of warriors holding shields to block the door.

Is it that their door is not yet finished?

This is too much, right? Do you dare to challenge the man-eating giant ape with just the hundreds of people at the door? I really don’t know how to write the word death. Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

By the way, how to write the word death? ━━(￣ー￣*|||━━However

, Luo Chong obviously would not give the other party a chance to learn Chinese characters. The moment he saw the enemy rushing to the city and being stunned, Luo Chong had already asked the drummer next to him to beat the drum.

The sound of the drum resounded throughout the canyon, and immediately made the enemies who were still in a daze react. However, when they raised their weapons again, they saw that the people blocking the city gate suddenly made an even more surprising move.

Those warriors with shields in hand and spears at their sides actually retreated quickly to the beat of the drums on the city wall. After leaving the doorway, the warriors who had just formed a shield formation now directly put their shields on their backs and ran wildly backwards, fearing that they would be caught up by the enemy in the next step. As for the other half of the spearmen, they had no shields to protect them. The totem warriors of the cannibal tribe were furious when they saw the sudden scene in front of them.

There is obviously no door, and you are still guarding it. Well, if you say you will guard it, then guard it well. We respect you as a man. But now, when the two sides haven't fought for a while, you are running away immediately. This is too real.

So, looking at the wide-open north gate, countless totem warriors began to charge into the gate in an instant.

But how could they outrun the red-haired giant ape? It had just started, and it immediately pulled the ordinary soldiers behind it far away. After a few seconds, the giant ape in front and the soldiers behind were one or two hundred meters apart. But this charging mode is exactly what Luo Chong needs. The next moment, just when

all the giant apes had just rushed into the gate for 100 meters, the ones behind While the totem warriors were still outside the city, hundreds of quicklime cloth bags flew out from the north wall where Luo Chong was, covering all the giant apes' heads with saturation strikes.

Giant apes are not yet human, so their senses are naturally much stronger than humans. For example, their hearing, vision, and smell have not completely degenerated and are still as sharp as those of wild beasts.

At this time, hundreds of lime bags were flying in the air under their heads. The next moment, the giant apes were forced to stop while chasing forward, and then jumped high on the spot, waving their long arms, and puff puff puff, instantly blowing up more than a dozen lime bags.

In this way, the lime bags that would have exploded only when they fell to the ground were blown up in the air. Seeing this scene, the Han tribe on the wall were almost They laughed like pigs.

They were originally worried that the smoke released after falling to the ground would not be high enough. Now, they did not expect that they would come to their door and blow up those cloth bags in the air. The white dust and smoke spread in the air like a fuel-air bomb. The next second, the lime bags that fell naturally were also broken, and a large piece of white dust rose on the ground. The low-altitude integrated attack in the whole space turned the 35 red-haired giant apes into white-haired snow monsters in an instant.

Of course, this is not just as simple as dyeing. As the saying goes, there is no gain without hard work. The warriors of the Han tribe dyed their hair, and of course they had to receive rewards, and this reward was their own eyes.

As expected, as soon as the white lime dust spread, dozens of painful howls and roars came from the smoke the next moment.

"We've been tricked, we've been tricked. The leader is so powerful. This trick really works."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Who is our leader? If he is not powerful, can he lead us to defend the city wall? Besides, this method is not the first time the leader has used it. We defeated the monsters in a similar place before.

There was no city wall at that time, but a large number of small mounds. The leader led us to lie behind the two mounds facing the valley."

"Mounds? Why are the mounds gone? I see that there is flat land in front of our city wall. How can there be a large number of small mounds?" a newcomer asked puzzledly.

"Are you stupid? Of course those earth mounds have been dug flat. Otherwise, where do you think all the earth for the city wall we are standing on came from?" The old man who spoke at the beginning also explained immediately.

But at this moment, the giant apes who were crazy with pain also quickly rushed out of the dust and smoke, and continued to rush forward without thinking. However, the totem warriors who had just rushed into the city did not enjoy the baptism of lime. The main reason was that lime was dust, which was different from smoke. Therefore, the suspension time was short and they all fell to the ground soon. When stepped on by thousands of people behind, some white smoke rose on the ground, but the suspension height was very low and could not cause damage to their eyes.

"Chief, why didn't we just shoot those red-haired monsters with crossbows?"

"Have you never seen how slow it is for a crossbow to fire a round? In that fleeting opportunity just now, even if you could complete a round of volleys, how many people could you kill?

Besides, if you show off such a powerful weapon now, will those ordinary totem warriors behind you follow you in after seeing them die so miserably just after entering the city?

It's enough to blind them now. A group of blinded giant apes have no fighting power at all. Keeping them will also allow them to create chaos in the city. Why do you have to add unnecessary things?

Don't think about these things. Get ready for me. When you hear my order, lower the gate immediately. I want to lock them all in this jar and catch them in the jar."
