Prisoners of War! - Part 6

Bang!

Neighhh!

"Shit!... There's a pit behind each wall." shouted a soldier who could barely maneuver his horse from the side of the earthen wall to see the deep pit behind it and his fellow comrades fallen in it. More of the warhorses followed into jumping into the hole as the momentum they were coming at didn't give them the chance to stop. Only the ones that were riding at the outer edge had the opportunity to go around the wall.

Bang!

Some of the horses straightaway collided with the wall, and then like a domino effect, the cavalrymen behind the first unfortunate ones had the same ending. 

"Stop! Stop! It's a trap." Amidst the chaos, the Vice commander bellowed. However, it was already too late. Almost fifty men fell into those pits, and some eighty to ninety cavalrymen collided into each other.
