Chapter 18 Double-sided barrels
readx;
Three Bondaks shot into the wall of the basket and threw out a few clouds of dust, one hit the wheels of the caravan, bounced straight up, and flew high before falling into the trench, and the rest hit the board, but did not penetrate the reinforced plank, but only smashed a trail of ash.

"Oh oh oh!" The firethrowers, who were originally bowing their bodies behind the carriage board, saw that the Bondak stone pills had not been able to cause them substantial damage, their morale was greatly boosted, and they began to stand up with a roar, and through the perforations, the fire guns and Latin bows in their hands were lined up one after another. ā
The ropes on the fire doors of the various firearms that perforated behind the carriage board were collectively lit, and soon a mountain of mountains exploded: a half-moon-shaped fortress that was a hundred and a half miles long, gunfire was shot everywhere, and the whole hill seemed to pass a terrible thunderbolt, and the ground trembled violently, and the rockets and arrows that were fired out were shot like wasps into the Kiposa believers who rushed up like a tide, and there were explosions and penetrations everywhere, and the front believers who lacked armor protection fell to the ground with their wounds and burning, Rows fell into the trenches excavated outside the barricade, and were re-pierced by the wooden tips and pottery shards inserted inside, killing and wounding.
Then the firethrowers in the front quickly and swiftly drew their firearms, retreated under the cart to reload the rockets and paper tubes, and the men with the crossbow machines then reached the gaps and holes in the earthen baskets, and shot a round of crossbow arrows from their heads and faces. At this moment, the Kiposa believers, who had suffered heavy casualties, became even more frenzied, holding axes and ropes, stepping on the bodies of their dying comrades, crossing the long trench, and swarming to the carriages and wheels of the barricade.
"Rush forward!" Leotius on the flag car waved another red square flag, and behind the barricades, the border soldiers or Paulinees, one by one, put down their weapons in their hands, shouted and rushed into the middle of the carriage, and began to fight with the Kiposa believers who were only "separated by a wall".
The fiercest offensive and defensive battles were first launched in the center of the base. Each of the 10 frontier people in the caravan was equipped with a small axeman, and at this moment they showed their skills, and with one axe, they cut off the hooks that the Kiposa believers had thrown and hit, and the ropes continued to fall down the board of the wagon.
The rest of the Kiposa believers who rushed up, some of them directly cats, began to slash the wheels with axes, trying to overturn the car, but the wheels had already been buried in the soil, and many of them were stopped by chains and stakes, and they couldn't cut at all In the brief moment when the Kiposa believers felt puzzled by this, a scorching white light rolled over their heads and bodies, and screams rang out, and from the holes of the caravans, the Khitan snow fire pipes of the firefighters began to shoot outwards again, and many burned "fire men" ran backwards and rolled, When they rushed back, they took with them the long grass on the hills and wilderness, and kindled an even bigger fire, and the rest of the mujahideen continued to pounce upwards in spite of their lives, braving the fire and smoke.
The Kiposa believers, who were not burned, and the Paulians behind the board of the carriage scolded each other, and began to climb up one after the other like ants, so the border people raised their shoulders and stepped on the partition, so that they could reach out of the carriage with their upper bodies, and stretched out rows of spears in each team of ten, six with spears, one with an axe, three with bows and arrows, accompanied by three Paulicians, one with a flail or chain hammer, and the other two with iron forks stabbed diagonally downward, and one by one the Kiposa climbers were pierced through the head or neck, Falling upside down. When they had bravely gathered together, and had seized the spearhead that had been stabbing and crawling, what awaited them was the smashed flail, with the spiny iron rod that the Paulineans had used to threh grain in the valley of the Mut, and which was enough to shatter the skulls and splash blood of several men down in one turn.
"Die, hypocrite!" There was always the bravest of the Kiposas, who, in the face of all kinds of danger and slaughter, climbed on the slabs of the carriage and howled and picked up their axes and swords, ready to slash at them. At this moment, he always held the iron fork behind the carriage board, his eyes were fixed on the enemy who climbed up, and his expression seemed to say, "I've been waiting for you for a long time", and then the iron fork was stretched out, and the arms and chest of Kiposa, who climbed up, were instantly forked and unable to move, and then he was slashed in the neck by a small axe, and blood spurted out, and then the limp body slid straight down the carriage board, and piled up with the corpses of the rest of the people.
During the fierce battle at the front of the barricade, the Turkmen chieftain Ugulus, with all the foot cavalry of the right army, swarmed along the west side of the barricade, and at this time Ugulus was on the back of a galloping horse, looking sideways at the peak of the mountain guarded by Gawain's troops, and the sun on the east side shone directly, and the black shadows of the earthen basket wall squatted on it, and it was not clear at all.
The militiamen on the left flank of the hill behind Gawain saw the movement of the enemy forces below very clearly, and it was Tim Goliath, the Praetorian Guard-bearer appointed by Gawain, who was responsible for supervising the battle formation, "Push the guard out of the way, and shoot the copper clams and rocket barrels out for me!" ā
Behind the earthen basket wall, the border militia and firethrower gunners raised their push rods to squeak and jump away from the copper clam's guard, and the mighty mouth of the copper clam that was pushed out was directed directly at the soldiers and horses of the moving Mujahideen Right Army Brigade, "Ignite!" Fierce sparks sparked in the Bronze Clam Fire Gate, and then the Copper Clam vibrated and let out a long roar in a majestic manner, and together with the rest of the rocket barrels, the large arrow cluster with its tail breathing fire was planted with a blade to increase its lethality and shoot down like an overwhelming one.
Tim saw only a lot of explosions of smoke swarming along the upper side of the earthen basket wall, and he stepped forward and grabbed the edge of the earthen basket wall to look down, but saw that the enemy's right army was like a swarm of ants that had been blown open by fire, running and scattering everywhere.
All the Mujahideen cavalry were in a state of confusion after being fired from a condescending side shot from a rocket, "Don't panic! Ugurus shouted on his horse, and the banner of the right army beside him stood strong in the billowing rocket fireworks, but it also provided a target for Dim on the hill, "Shoot me again!" ā
As soon as he finished speaking, the gunners of the firefighters, who had been ordered behind several rocket barrels, took the side rings of the barrels with their hands, and rumbled them around on the cardinal's wooden frame: between the dense vertical and horizontal partitions on the other side, there were also a large number of light rockets to be continued.
