Chapter 777: Bomb!
Duran's knowledge of the Cossack cavalry is limited to a few descriptions on the Internet. She also had no clue what the Cossack cavalry was like in battle.
The procession of Cossack cavalry circled the entire construction site, still not attacking, but divided into two teams and set up a camp on the north and south sides of the site.
"Fujin, we can't let them set up camp so easily, let the minions lead people to kill!"
Seeing that the Cossack cavalry was encamped right under his nose, Relt was anxious.
Du Lan was also anxious, groaned slightly, and said: "A thousand people, don't fight in close combat, use bows and arrows, and guerrilla!" ā
Through the Cossack cavalry marching around the city just now, Dulan could probably judge the number of the other party, at least more than 10,000 horsemen. In the battle just now, it seemed that the Cossack cavalry had encountered a head-on attack, but the casualties of the other side were only hundreds, and the battle damage of this personnel was not trivial at all.
"Minions command!"
Rett immediately gathered his men and horses, all of whom were good at riding and archery, and more than a thousand of them roared and slaughtered.
And they had barely left the construction site, when the Cossack cavalry who were camping on the opposite side immediately responded, and thousands of men mounted their horses, and in a moment they took shape, and with a roar, they came up to them.
"Archery!"
Rett was the first to open his bow and hit with an arrow.
And as they opened their bows, the Cossack cavalry on the opposite side also began to return fire.
Not only arrows flew, but also spears, and some even threw short axes.
"Let'sā"
In just one look, dozens of the men and horses led by Rett fell from their horses. Although hundreds of Cossack cavalry on the opposite side were also shot and killed, and the battle loss ratio was considerable, the number of combatants on both sides was not equal at all.
With this head-for-head play, they are doomed to defeat in the end.
Knowing this, Rett did not hesitate to retreat with his men.
And this time, the Cossack cavalry pursuing in the rear did not stop in the slightest, but bit dead on the back of Ret.
Damn it!
Dulan, who was standing on the roof, saw this scene and almost instantly understood the intentions of the Cossack cavalry. These people are not brainless fools, on the contrary, they are very cunning.
After going around the construction site, they did not attack, because they had found the traps dug outside the camp, and they had found rows of horses, and they knew that the attack might result in heavy losses.
And now, Lietu led people to battle, and the road they traveled was destined to be a smooth road, and there was no trap in the horse pit.
However, Dulan is not panicking!
In fact, she had thought of this long before the war, and she had laid her hands down. At that time, she did this just to prevent it from happening, and now, she is really very aware of her wisdom.
"Zhuoma, immediately notify Sutu and prepare to ignite!"
Originally, it would have taken a lot of effort to defeat these Cossack cavalry, but now they can save most of their effort.
Rett quickly returned to the construction site with a thousand men and horses, and then simply reined in his horse, wound his arrows, and fired a volley of bows.
And at the same time, when he set out with his men and horses, the archers who had already been mobilized also wound up and fired a volley.
The pursuing Cossack cavalry raised their shields, used their skillful horsemanship, and dodged the arrows.
But even so, in the face of a dense rain of arrows, many people still fell from their horses, but this did not make the pursuing Cossack cavalry retreat. Instead, they became even more frantic, screaming and rushing forward.
"Ignition!"
Seeing that a Cossack cavalry rushed into the construction site and engaged the defending soldiers head-on, Sutu, who was watching from behind, waved his hand.
With Su Tu's order, the soldiers next to him lit the black powder in front of them with fire breakers.
The gunpowder ran along several small ditches and reached the charging ranks of the Cossack cavalry.
Rumble!
Rumble!
One thunder after another was heard, a great earthquake trembled, the ranks of the charging Cossack cavalry were cut off, and countless men and horses were blown into the air.
In the way of the charge of the Cossack cavalry, one pit after another appeared.
For example, the cavalry team of the black torrent was cut off at the waist, at least hundreds of horsemen were shattered to pieces, and countless people were injured.
The pursuit of the Kazakh cavalry was interrupted, and those who rushed ahead were also stunned by the thunderous noise, and then they went to hell in a rain of arrows.
This battle did not last long, but the Kazakh cavalry lost more than 1,000 horses, and as for the wounded, I don't know how many.
Of course, the most important thing is that this explosion, to a certain extent, suppressed the madness of the Cossack cavalry.
"Hoo ......"
Seeing that the Cossack pursuit was interrupted, and the remaining Cossack cavalry retreated to the camp where they had half camped, Dulan was truly relieved.
In this moment, she can really see that the men and horses on her side are really much worse than the Cossack cavalry.
If there were enough muskets, no matter how many Cossack cavalry there were, they would all deliver food.
It's a pity that there weren't so many muskets!
"Little Shunzi!"
Looking at the black smoke still rising from the gunpowder explosion, Du Lan clapped his hands violently and looked at Xiao Shunzi next to him, "Go find someone immediately and light wolf smoke!" ā
At this time, it was too late to send someone to the Ten Elder Brothers for help, but that didn't mean they didn't have any way to ask for help.
Beacon fire!
Dulan felt that he was really stupid, and he didn't expect this wolf smoke warning signal that had been passed down for countless years.
As for whether the tenth elder brother will notice the wolf smoke, and whether he can understand that this smoke pillar represents a signal for help, it is no longer something that Dulan needs to worry about now.
As long as she does what she has to do, the rest depends on whether God is powerful.
Entrusting his life to God, if it was before, Du Lan would definitely feel that he was crazy. But now, Dulan feels that he is too smart.
After getting Du Lan's order, Xiao Shunzi also came back to his senses and immediately went to find someone to light the wolf smoke that sent a warning message.
The wolf smoke rose faintly and soared into the sky.
"Sutu, hurry up and let people prepare more gunpowder!"
Gunpowder has made a contribution, and Du Lan naturally wants to continue to use such a big killing weapon.
"Fujin!"
Dai Zi suddenly came over, with an eager face, "In the mountains, the person who brought the artificial firearm brought by the lower official is still in the mountain!" ā
Hearing Dai Zi's words, Du Lan was also speechless.
It was so panicked before that everyone forgot about the people at the firearms test site in the mountains. Now, although they are not completely surrounded by the Cossack cavalry, what is the difference between their current situation and being surrounded?
At this time, it is difficult to get the people from the mountains back, or to get in touch with the mountains.
