Elena Wei's Silent Vigil and Shadows Over the Border Chapter 172

The parade ground and training ground were completed one after another.

Some craftsmen were ingenious and set up deep pits and traps around the dense forests and hills in the garden. They also set up wooden cages and ropes on both sides of the stream. If you go to the stream to get water, you will be hung up in the air if you are not careful. If you are unlucky, you will be trapped in the wooden cage and cannot break the cage. You can only stay inside and wait for your comrades to rescue you.

Evan Zhao led a team of infantry and spent several days carefully checking the traps.

The craftsmen sent by the Examination Office were originally very proud of their work. Unexpectedly, Captain Zhao waved his hand and called in craftsmen and servants from the camp to rework at least half of the project.

The craftsmen in Chang'an were very dissatisfied with this, thinking that Evan Zhao was looking for trouble. But as the trap continued to be dug deeper, the rafts and ropes were reset, new hiding places were set up in the woods, and nooses were added in the grass and streams, the craftsmen's faces gradually changed.
