"Guanshi Wang, we have discovered traces of the Arab army!"
A Tianzhu soldier said to Wang Yuan respectfully.
The defense deployment in the past few days has allowed them to understand what it means to be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
This veteran from the Datang Engineering Battalion led them to plant various mechanisms on the way into the mountains.
It simply takes advantage of the terrain and natural environment to the extreme.
Even Raja Sri was tempted by Wang Yuan, not that kind of tempted, but thinking that if he could survive this time, he would invite Wang Yuan to join his army.
"Finally!" Wang Yuan carefully pressed out the butt of a cigarette, then put it back into the cigarette case and put it into his arms.
I finally bought this from my employer's convenience store, so I have to put it away.
“Since we’re here, let’s meet them!”
He said it forcefully, but he actually had no idea when Tang Ping would arrive. After all, Datang was too far away from here.
The nearest military force is the military port in Qiongzhou.
But it would take more than two days to get from the military port in Qiongzhou, so he didn't know how long he would have to defend or whether he could hold it.
Wang Yuan led a motley army composed of mine guards, slaves, Latan City Qingzhuang and Raja Sri guards to the north.
Don't worry about the south. If Datang wants to come to rescue, it will have to come from the south.
Secondly, if the opponent wants to attack from the south, they will have to go around for a day or two.
Let's hold off the attack from the north for the next two days first.
Soon, they saw a dense army of Arabs coming towards the mountain waving their scimitars.
"ah!"
"Ouch!"
The first round of attacks they encountered were various traps set by Wang Yuan's men.
There is nothing else on this mountain, only stones and wood.
There were pits, wooden thorns and other things all over the way up the mountain. It was hard to say how much casualties they could cause to the opponent.
But the disgusting thing about these traps is that they can greatly slow down the pace of the Arab army's attack.
First of all, they must be careful when moving forward to prevent falling into a trap. Their life is theirs, and they only have one.
No one is stupid enough to rush forward knowing that there are traps everywhere.
Then there are those who fell into the trap but survived. It is impossible to just
Why leave them here on the mountain? We have to arrange for people to treat them and send them down the mountain.
One wounded soldier can hold back two or three healthy soldiers.
Finally, the wailing of these wounded soldiers will also increase the psychological pressure of other soldiers.
Therefore, after falling into the trap, the Arab army's attack on the mountain slowed down.
As for Wang Yuan and the others, they were condescending and not polite. They would either shoot two cold arrows down below in a cold mood, or throw some rolling stones and wood on the open road. It was not to hurt people, but just to be disgusting.
Of course the Arabs also had bows and arrows, but when shooting from bottom to top, they suffered a loss in terms of range.
Secondly, in such a dense jungle, you can hide in any tree.
Jafar had never felt so uncomfortable this morning. Usually, the enemies of would mount their horses and chop each other with swords. Whose weapon is better and whose horse is better? Whoever has more people and more strength will win.
Today, few people saw the rats on these mountains, and they themselves lost hundreds of people.
These few hundred people are nothing to an army of 50,000, but the blow to morale is huge.
In one morning, they finally reached the middle of the mountain.
There was a relatively open area halfway up the mountain, and there was a creek next to it. Jafar saw that his soldiers were nervous all morning, and they were already out of breath.
So they simply ordered them to rest and eat first, and then attack the mountain in one go in the afternoon.
He also saw that there were not many people on the mountain opposite, so he used such rogue methods.
After they climbed the mountain in the afternoon, they no longer had a disadvantage in terms of terrain.
When the time comes, he can use his numerical advantage to crush the opponent.
"The king is in charge of all affairs, and he has every plan!" Raja Sri and the others watched from a distance as Jafar led his people to eat and rest there, and they couldn't help but compliment Wang Yuan.
"Haha, this... any soldier of the Tang Dynasty should be able to guess it." Wang Yuan said modestly.
As an engineer, he was most familiar with where the army would camp and where they would rest and eat.
So he took a fancy to this relatively open place early in the morning.
In Jafar's eyes, this open area poses no threat, but he doesn't know that the greatest danger lies beneath their feet.
Wang Yuan and the others came from the Tang Dynasty, but they brought explosives with them.
Although this is an emerald mine,
It's impossible to use explosives to blow up ore, but a road out of the mountain must be opened, right?
So I brought some explosives in case of emergencies, but I didn't expect that they would be used here.
The explosives were buried under the buttocks of the Arabs. When Wang Yuan led the people out of the open space, he lit the delay fuse. Counting the time, it should explode now.
After looking at the pocket watch he borrowed from Raja Sri, Wang Yuan breathed out softly and whispered: "Bang!"
As if in response to him, the Arab soldier first felt a slight vibration under his feet, and then there were several loud bangs.
In fact, there were not too many explosives, and they were distributed in several places, so the damage caused was not too great.
But the Arabs felt like a mountain falling apart.
“Allah is above!”
"Help!"
"Ouch, my feet!"
"My ears, my ears, I can't hear anything!"
"Ah, Allah, save me, save me!"
The Arab army, which had never encountered explosives before, was completely panicked. Not to mention the ordinary soldiers, even Jafar himself was so frightened by the sudden explosion that he dropped his cake.
"Don't panic, everyone, don't panic!"
No matter how much Jafar shouted, it had no effect.
Once fear begins to creep into the ranks, it is difficult to dispel.
The unknown is the biggest source of fear.
The Arab soldiers, who didn't know why their feet exploded, began to flee wildly.
Because it was lunch, many soldiers put their weapons at their feet and ignored them at this time.
Most of the Arab soldiers ran down the mountain, and some of them, like headless flies, actually rushed towards the place where Wang Yuan and the others were ambushing.
"Damn!" Wang Yuan didn't expect these soldiers to rush towards them.
Originally there were some traps along the way, but at this time the traps did not pose much of a hindrance to these soldiers who were fleeing for their lives in panic.
Those who were caught in the trap were wailing inside, but no one paid attention to them.
"Get ready to fight!" Wang Yuan pulled out his sword. They were not too far apart to begin with, but now the Arab soldiers fled in all directions, and the number of people coming towards them was probably equal to theirs.
Therefore, he did not want to let go of such an opportunity, and took the opportunity to weaken some of the enemy's effective forces first.
