Chapter 57: A Strong Man Breaks His Wrist

Xiang Qi's troops slowly spread out near the high ground, scattered in the fortifications, ready for defense, and the trebuchet rotated at an angle to calibrate the direction of the attack.

"It's almost, I'm going to fight!" Xiang Qi sent orders to Liu Tianming and others, and commanded his troops to fill the stones.

The lever of the trebuchet moved slowly, and under the action of more than twenty mercenaries, it catapulted, and the grinding disc-sized stone was thrown into the air with great force, and it roared out in the direction of the fence of the Nightmare Guild Village.

In the process of being thrown away, the stone flew over a curved arc and fell towards the foot of the mountain, flying faster and faster, and with a loud bang, it smashed on the fence of the village, and the wooden fence was broken through by the stone, and it was about to fall apart in a blink of an eye.

The loud noise startled the Nightmare Guild members who were guarding the village, and immediately after, rocks continued to fall from the sky, smashing down, either on the fence or simply flying into the village. The rocks that flew into the village fell on the players, sending them flying out and killing them instantly.

"What happened?"

Attacked by unknown stones, and not even knowing where the stones flew from, the players were a little distracted, and there was a mess in the village, and there was no order.

"Calm me down." Onimian cursed as he probed the direction in which the rocks were flying.

"Boss, it looks like a trebuchet!" One player reminded Ghostface.

Humans can't throw rocks so high, only trebuchets and other siege equipment can do it, Ghost Face calculated the range of the trebuchet, and according to the direction of the observed stones, it can be guessed that these stones should have flown from the high slope halfway up the mountain.

"They have such a thing!" Ghostface was quite distressed, seeing the fence of the village being smashed apart under the ravages of the trebuchet, but there was nothing to be done, and the flying stones were still killing the players in the village, and if they kept guarding the village like this, they might be wiped out.

The stones were accelerated by their falling, and their attacks were terrifyingly high, and they were simply invincible.

In contrast to the chaotic situation in the Nightmare Village, the slope was very calm, and the hundreds of mercenaries guarding the slope did not make any moves, only the twenty or so mercenaries who were used as trebuchets were busy, making simple and uniform movements.

Once upon a time, Xiang Qi's village also suffered from the ravages of trebuchets, but now, the person who used the trebuchet has become Xiang Qi, watching the other party's village under the bombardment of the trebuchet, chickens and dogs jumping, making a mess, without resistance, a sense of refreshment arises spontaneously.

The ghost face helplessly watched the village's defense being stripped away little by little, but there was no way to do it, but the only way to do it now was to take the troops to kill the high slope, so that there might be a glimmer of life to defend the village, but the news that a few hunters sent out came back, the number of other troops was too much, not to mention that the other party had built a large number of fortifications on the high ground to wait for work, if it was a strong attack, judging from the comparison of forces between the two sides, they had no chance of winning at all.

"Why hasn't the White Bull's people come yet!" Ghost Face said with some fire, knowing that this ally was unreliable, and at this time he could only hope for the white bull.

"This trebuchet is amazing!" Infernal sent several hunters outside the Nightmare Village to check on the village, and he was taken aback by the condition of the Nightmare Village, whose fence had been blasted to pieces by trebuchets, countless pieces of wood were scattered on the ground, and the open space in the village was littered with stones, dirt pits, and the corpses of the players.

Before seeing all this, it was hard to imagine that a lowly light trebuchet could have such an effect, thinking that if he was given such a trebuchet, he would be able to take down the village of Nightmares and Beetles. Of course, his idea was just a good wish, and it was impossible to realize it for the time being, and he didn't have the strength to take the trebuchet of Xiang Qi.

"If only we had a trebuchet." One player said enviously.

The players around pouted in disdain, this is just nonsense.

But they forgot one thing, if there is a trebuchet, they must also have the strength to hold the trebuchet, if it is replaced by a small guild like the Houyi Guild, with something as hot as the trebuchet, I am afraid that it will not be far from the destruction of the group.

Bai Niu led the troops to the vicinity of the Nightmare Village, the current battle situation made him worried, he didn't expect the people of the Moon God to be so strong, without losing a single soldier and beating the Nightmare Village into such a miserable situation, he originally thought that the Nightmare Guild was not good, and it could resist for a while with the fences, fortifications and watchtowers built in the village, and consume more of the opponent's troops, but he didn't expect the battle situation to evolve like this.

"Are your people coming?" Ghostface asked angrily.

"Here we are, but do you think that even if my troops join the battle, there is a chance of winning? The men of the moon god have built the mountainside like a bucket, and I dare to conclude that even if we have five or six times as many troops, we may not be able to attack it. Bai Niu said, his analysis did not have the slightest exaggeration. The fact that the people of the moon god have built such a number of fortifications in the case of an absolute advantage in the number of troops shows that the leader of the other party must be a very stable person, which is the most headache.

"So what are we going to do? It's my village that's being attacked now! Ghost Face cursed, he also thought about counterattacking, but after finding out the location and number of Xiang Qi's main forces, he gave up, and the counterattack would only make the losses greater.

"It's not like we're at all helpless." Bai Niu pondered for a moment and said.

"What's the solution?" Ghostface asked anxiously, he didn't have that much to spare.

"It's up to you to want it or not." Bai Niu said, "Because it was your village that was attacked, you were so nervous that you didn't even think through such a little problem. Actually, you might as well think about this question outside the box. Since it is definitely not possible to hold on to it, and it is not possible to counterattack, why not give up this village first. They have occupied the village, the troops will definitely have to be transferred, the fortifications on the high ground will be useless, and it will not be easy for us to find an opportunity to annihilate his troops? ”

Giving up the village is a difficult choice for Ghost Face, after all, this village was developed by him from scratch little by little, and he is really unwilling to give up so easily. But he had to admit that what Bai Niu said made sense, and sticking to it was equivalent to putting himself in a living coffin, and the village had become a burden to them, since this was the case, it was better to give up! Having lost the target of the attack, the people of the moon god naturally did not continue to stay on the high ground.

"Let's evacuate!" Ghost Face took a look at the ruined village, gritted his teeth and said, just do what he says, quickly gather his troops, and retreat to the outside of the village.
