Chapter 1435 Traps
The matter of Da Yi City was put to the back by Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua.
But the same couldn't be said to the soldiers who were busy defending Da Yi City and also attacking that city.
The fierce battle was far from over.
...
<Da Yi City, the safe area on the wall>
Duan Shang Shao was staying on top of the wall with one of his hand placed on top of his eyes. He was watching the placement of the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom while calculating the effect of the traps he had buried there before.
He was not used to see so far and often holed up in his workshop. But this time, his father wished for him to help out on the frontline with the traps he had customized. Some of them were quite useful to be used in this situation.
But asking him to look properly to see whether the situation was suitable or not when he was on top of the wall...
He had to admit that he was not so capable.
"Second Young Master Duan, what do you think of the current situation?"
"Once they circled the city, the holes we dug will be exposed and they will fall inside," Duan Shang Shao replied.
At this time, General Huan had only started attacking the front side while the soldiers were slowly approaching the other side. Before the war started, Duan Shang Shao had already arranged his father to dug and plant metal spears or something like that on the ground.
Once they fell to these holes, the soldiers will definitely die.
It was a cruel trap.
And because of the existences of these traps, General Duan warned the people heavily not to walk around the forest. They didn't want to cause unnecessary casualties because of this war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom.
Even he himself was shocked that his son could come up with such traps but Duan Shang Shao definitely would not reveal where he got the inspiration.
"I see." General Duan's Adjutant looked at the soldiers who were entering the side areas and sighed.
They had to win at all cost.
And perhaps, it was because of this that General Duan dared to use Duan Shang Shao's terrifying means of traps and all. Without the pressure of having to win, he would definitely not want to adopt this kind of method.
Duan Shang Shao pursed his lips.
"Only this time can this be used. After the war is over, fill up those holes again." He didn't want to see many people dying because of those traps they dug for this war against Zhang Xu Kingdom.
General Duan's adjutant nodded. "It's good."
When they were talking, shrill and horrified scream rang out from the sides of the wall, startling the many people around.
The soldiers who were planning on climbing the side walls were shocked as their comrades fell to the ground and pierced to death because of those metal spears embedded on the ground.
Due to their momentum, many people fell down.
And by the time General Huan heard of the existences of these traps, everything had been too late. A lot of soldiers had died because of these traps that General Duan put.
He looked at General Duan on top of the wall and roared angrily. "You always said that we are ruthless and treacherous, but look at what you actually do? You bastard! Do you dare to say that you're fighting a fair war?!"
"Has there been any day of fair war against you?" General Duan looked at General Huan and sneered. "From the moment you released those poisons against us, you should have expected this to come."
How many innocent people died because of the poison from Zhang Xu Kingdom?
By now, General Duan couldn't calculate the number anymore, but he knew that their number was definitely large. A lot of people from Da Yi City had passed away because of poisons and had great hatred towards Zhang Xu Kingdom.
Using traps are treacherous?
Say that to the other generals who also set up traps around their headquarters!
General Duan looked at General Huan coldly and waved his hand. His soldiers quickly changed their weapon to fire arrows that had been prepared before.
"SHOOT!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The fire arrow hit the ground in front of them.
It was summer and the grass were dry. With the fire arrow shot towards these soldiers of Zhang Xu Kingdom, some of them hit the dry ground and started fire.
"AAAaaaaaaa!"
Screams and shouts rang out.
General Duan watched the scene coldly.
The summer heat was strong, causing the grass to be relatively dry. Since he could use this method to fight against these people from Zhang Xu Kingdom, why shouldn't he used it?
"Where's the weapon that Shang Shao made?"
"There are only a few of them and the accuracy are still terrible." General Duan's second Adjutant quickly reported.
Duan Shang Shao was still adjusting it so that it could be more effective. So far, the accuracy was terrible and he felt ashamed. But to use it for war was definitely enough.
"Bring it up!"
"Yes!"
Before long, rocks were thrown towards Zhang Xu Kingdom's soldiers direction. Seeing the soldiers were crushed to death because of these large rocks, General Huan's eyes turned red.
"What conspiracy did you made with those people from Shi Long Kingdom?" General Huan roared in anger.
These kind of things were more commonly seen in Shi Long Kingdom. Those people from Shi Long Kingdom had the largest territory, the largest resources, and the best equipment for war.
Catapult were often used in some wars.
So he was not unfamiliar with it.
But tell him, how did Fei Yang Kingdom managed to remake a catapult that could be fit on top of the wall?
Shouldn't these thing be so big that it was impossible to use for defense and instead used for offense?
General Huan was enraged.
