Chapter 524: Protecting Oneself
They had no choice but to crouch on the ground and advance slowly. As they drew closer, several mechanisms were triggered, causing large rocks with sharp edges to roll down the mountain.
"Trap! Fall back!"
Reacting swiftly, they retreated just in time. However, some were slower, and several were hit by the rocks, resulting in four or five casualties.
The previous night, Qin Silong had finally caught up with Deputy General Lin, cautioning him, "You need to be extremely careful tomorrow. According to the intelligence I’ve gathered, the entrance is strategically fortified and challenging to breach. There are traps along the route."
"The closer we get to the entrance, the more elaborate the traps become. The initial traps involve rocks and wood rolling down from the mountain’s peak. Additionally, there are pitfalls and trip ropes designed to ensnare individuals."
"Although these mechanisms might become ineffective after their first use, they have numerous variations that are difficult to predict. The enemy’s camp also employs sharp arrows."
"The most formidable trap is positioned right above the entrance, where they are preparing oil drums. In the event of a large-scale attack, they would pour the oil down and ignite the entrance with thrown torches, engulfing it in flames."
"If you persist with the attack this time, there’s a high likelihood of being incinerated by everyone."
These were firsthand accounts from Qin Silong’s dreams, witnessing thousands of individuals succumbing to the fiery inferno. Subsequently, they resorted to using human wave tactics to breach the entrance.
