As Chu Huizhou gnawed on the apple and looked at the moon, all the things that happened in his time-travel flashed in his mind. Every time he thought about it, he would feel that it was a dream. The moon and stars in this place were more beautiful. There are no stars in his world anymore.
Chu Huizhou sighed. Pei Yubing heard Chu Huizhou's sigh but didn't say anything, so he continued on his way, but they walked very slowly. After all, neither of them had ever traveled long distances.
At the edge of the vast continent, a dense forest covers the secret path to Luo City. In the night, the moonlight shines through the gaps in the treetops and casts mottled light and shadow on the rugged path. The wind blew through the treetops, making a low whistling sound.
The two of them walked quietly on this path and felt that something was not right as they walked. They had both heard and seen the cunning and cruelty of the barbarians, so they took every step with extra caution.
Suddenly, they stopped and frowned.
Chu Huizhou noticed something strange - the soil on the ground seemed to be a little loose, and its shape was unnatural. He squatted down and gently touched the soil with his hand, feeling that there was some kind of mechanism hidden underneath.
He quickly took a few steps back to protect Pei Yubing behind him, found a tree stick, and inserted it into the ground hard. There was only a muffled "bang" sound, and a huge wooden pile popped out of the ground, hitting the tree next to it heavily, making a dull impact. Immediately afterwards, more wooden stakes and spikes emerged from the ground, like poisonous snakes opening their bloody mouths, trying to devour them.
Chu Huizhou snorted coldly and dodged like the wind. He had already inquired about Jiang Yun and knew that the barbarians were good at using the environment and traps to deal with the enemy, so he had already taken precautions. He quickly observed the surrounding terrain and found that this was a typical pit trap, specially designed to trap or harm people passing by.
They didn't stop and immediately moved on. They all knew in their hearts that this was just one of the many traps laid by the barbarians, and there might be more ahead. They did not expect that the barbarians were so fast. They could only have a chance of survival by escaping to Luo City.
Barbarians usually live in remote areas, and they often lack advanced weapons and technology, so they make up for this by taking advantage of their environment and creating creative traps. Among strategies, they might do the following:
1. Terrain utilization: Barbarians will choose to fight in familiar terrain, such as mountains, forests or swamps, etc., and use complex terrain to confuse and consume the enemy's troops. They might use narrow valleys or canyons to restrict enemy movement, or set up ambushes near rivers, using the current as a natural barrier.
2. Ambush tactics: When the enemy is marching or moving, the barbarians may ambush in hidden locations, such as behind woods or rocks, and wait for the enemy to enter the ambush circle before launching a surprise attack. This tactic requires an in-depth understanding of the terrain and precise prediction of enemy movements.
3. Trap setting: Barbarians will set up various traps during battle, such as pits, spikes, rope nets or other obstacles to slow down the enemy's attack speed or cause casualties. Traps are usually set on the only way for the enemy to enter or at strategic points to achieve maximum effect.
4. Psychological warfare: In addition to physical traps, barbarians may also use the environment to create panic and chaos. For example, use torches and smoke during night battles, or place scary totems and symbols around the battlefield to weaken enemy morale.
5. Guerrilla tactics: Since barbarians usually do not have sustained combat effectiveness, they may use guerrilla tactics, that is, to carry out quick strikes when the enemy is not paying attention, and then quickly evacuate to avoid frontal conflicts.
6. Environmental transformation: In order to make better use of the environment, the barbarians sometimes carried out a certain degree of environmental transformation, such as cutting down trees to block roads, digging ditches to divert river water, etc., in order to change battlefield conditions.
7. Application of ecological knowledge: Barbarians usually have a deep understanding of natural ecology and can use the characteristics of animals and plants to fight. For example, use poisonous weeds to make poisonous arrows, or drive wild beasts to attack enemies.
As long as they enter Los Angeles, they will not be harmed. This is the thought in every refugee's heart and the hope they hold on to.
Pei Yubing accidentally caused bleeding in his leg while passing through a jungle. In order not to affect the original plan, Chu Huizhou motioned for him to carry Pei Yubing on his back. However, Pei Yubing's expression showed that he was not happy, but he still couldn't stand what Chu Huizhou said. , had to deal with the wound and obey Chu Huizhou's instructions obediently.
Chu Huizhou walked in the direction of Pei Yubing's finger. The good news was that he arrived at the place the old lady said. The bad news was that the village was filled with the strong smell of blood and burnt wood. The houses were set on fire and the fire was raging. The sky turned red. The originally golden wheat waves on the fields turned into scorched earth, livestock were slaughtered, and poultry fled in all directions. The entire village was plunged into chaos and death.
It can be seen that barbarian soldiers looted and killed wantonly in the village.
When night falls, the moonlight shines on the ruins, illuminating the lives lying on the ground motionless. The entire village was immersed in deathly silence, except for the occasional low sobs and sobs from nowhere, which seemed to tell the endless pain of this tragedy.
Pei Yubing and Chu Huizhou buried them all together. Pei Yubing found herbal medicine not far away and applied it directly to the wound. After a long time, it felt better.
When the two were about to leave, Chu Huizhou froze on the spot and Pei Yubing asked in confusion, "What's wrong?" Chu Huizhou pointed to a place not far from them where the color was not right. They were all a little deeper than that one. After that, he picked up the tree stick from the ground and carefully poked the different place.
After a while, the place collapsed. Chu Huizhou saw that there was a fat man lying inside, but his face did not look like that of a barbarian.
Chu Huizhou and Pei Yubing nodded and decided to rescue people. They immediately went to find a huge rope. Chu Huizhou tied the rope to a big tree and he jumped down to secure the rope. Tie tightly to the fat man.
After a while of burning incense, Chu Huizhou went up to the boat and gasped for air. The man seemed to be saying something but could not hear clearly. So Chu Huizhou put his ears closer and vaguely heard "Water..." Water...water." Intermittently, Chu Huizhou took out a water bottle and gave the man a drink. The man slowly woke up, looked at Chu Huizhou and Pei Yubing, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you both for your help. Save, save my little life."
