After the deafening explosions, there was a brief silence on the battlefield. After a while, low cries of pain rang out one after another. As the smoke cleared, the screams gradually merged into a chorus of wails. The source of this chorus was Huang Dagen, who ordered the largest grenade to be thrown down. This grenade weighs eight pounds and should be called a small bomb in the strict sense, because it is too heavy for throwing, and because of limited resources, Ouyang Xuan has ordered that it will not be produced for the time being. It's just that there are not many grenades in Liuliba at present, and the defense of the city is condescending, and it doesn't need to be thrown far, so it is used together. The use of this big killing weapon in the emergency situation just now is not only an emergency but also wants to test the actual combat effect - the mountain bandits at the root of the gathering wall are too dense, and Huang Dagen really wants to see the power of the explosion.

As Huang Dagen expected, the killing effect of this black melon was very amazing, not only did it crash and fly several long ladders, but even the giant shield more than ten meters away from the explosion point was pierced by the explosion fragments. It is roughly estimated that this giant grenade has blown down at least twenty people, especially the bandits around the explosion point were blown to pieces, and the mountain bandits in the distance froze in fright. Although the soldiers of Liuliba on the wall knew the power of the gunpowder weapon, they were also overwhelmed by the huge power, but they quickly calmed down under Huang Dagen's loud order, and threw a second batch of grenades at the crossbowmen behind the giant shield. The batch of grenades was three four-pound grenades and seven two-pound grenades. Except for two small grenades that were thrown into the ravine by the side of the road due to excessive force, the rest of the grenades were parabolic and landed straight into the group of crossbowmen who were still standing together. After a series of explosions, the crossbowmen were blown down, and several were even pushed into the ravine by the air wave. After the smoke of gunpowder, I don't know that the mountain bandit desperately called out, "Liuliba has invited the thunderbolt from heaven, run", and then the mountain bandits who were still able to move threw down their weapons and fled to the rear, leaving only the dead bodies and the wailing wounded all over the ground.

The fleeing bandits didn't run far before they stopped, because Xiong Ben in the rear rushed up with his own army. This Xiong Ben is also cold-blooded, and he is not merciless when he kills his own people, and after he ordered his own troops to kill several mountain bandits who took the lead in escaping, he quickly stopped the momentum of the rout. Xiong Ben drove the remaining bandits and migrant workers to the siege equipment, regrouped and prepared to attack again. He was observing the battle situation in the rear just now, and knew that the grenade in Liuliba was the thunder that the two Huai officers and armies were equipped with, but it was much more powerful than the officers and troops. It is precisely because the power of the official army is not enough that it is not widely equipped in the army, Xiong Ben has served as a junior colonel in the Southern Song Dynasty Army for many years, although he has not seen it with his own eyes, but he has also heard about the situation of thunder. In his observation just now, he found that the grenade of Liuliba did not explode immediately after landing, and he could use a shield to pull it far away before it landed, and even if it exploded, its killing effect was limited.

Xiong Ben decided to take command in person, not because Ni Shiyou had been blown to the ground by a grenade just now. He didn't care whether the second-in-command of the cottage was alive or dead, but he felt that with his own wisdom and martial arts, he had the certainty of winning the Liuliba. What gave him confidence was not only that the siege equipment had been assembled, but also because he had full confidence in his own army. It is said that although Xiong Ben's pro-soldier team only has about 50 people, he carefully selects the fierce people among the mountain bandits. In addition to their high combat strength, this pro-soldier team is also absolutely obedient to his orders, which is the basis for him to rule the bandits of Wanjiapingshan. Of course, he is not ambiguous about the pro-soldier team, in addition to eating and drinking, he is also equipped with the best equipment, not only everyone has leather armor but also five pairs of iron armor, and the armor rate is higher than that of the regular army of the official army, and even no worse than the equipment of the pro-soldier team of the general of the official army. When it comes to the combat power of hand-to-hand combat, the Liuliba soldiers are definitely not the opponents of Xiong Ben's personal army.

Xiong Ben lectured while forming the team, and he cheered up the mountain bandits and said that Liuliba was just a thunderbolt that could be invited to the sky. He promised that as long as the glazed dam was breached, whoever grabbed the property and women in the village would belong to whomever he wanted, which aroused the ferocity of these outlaws. Xiong Ben's personal army also held a long knife in one hand and a light shield in the other, standing in line behind the siege equipment. It is about 200 meters away from the walled gate, and this distance is far beyond the range of the Liuliba bow and arrow, and even if there are stray arrows, they will be easily blocked by wooden shields.

The bandits regrouped, ready to wait for the siege weapons to be used before attacking. Just as the mountain bandits were busy carrying stones, loading crossbow arrows, and turning the winch of the siege equipment together, the fish-scale shield array on the wall suddenly spread out to both sides, revealing an iron pillar with a black hole, and the direction of the black hole was facing the mountain bandits in array. It turned out that Huang Dagen and Cao Ergou on the walled wall were shocked when they saw that the siege weapons assembled by the mountain bandits included two light catapults and four ballistas. They knew that if the mountain bandits were allowed to fire crossbow arrows and stones, not only would the big shield on the wall of the wall not be able to stop it, but even the wooden gate would not be able to withstand a few stones, and it would be shattered. As soon as the gate of the wall was broken, the mountain bandits swarmed in, and the glazed dam was afraid that it would not be able to defend it.

In a hurry, Huang Dagen ordered the shield array to dodge, and he personally lit the fuse of the artillery. A few seconds later, with the sound of a huge explosion, the story of the giant grenade explosion was repeated again. In fact, the mountain bandits were not completely defenseless, when the shield array at the head of the wall changed just now, Xiong Ben's intuition of licking blood from the knife edge for many years made Xiong Ben aware of the danger, and he ordered the mountain bandits to hide behind the shield. It's just that the effective range of this artillery is about one mile, and hitting this target more than 200 meters away is really too powerful. The scorching iron projectile pierced the huge shield and human body in the front row, and then hit the mountain bandits behind. The cannon was filled with shotguns, and its firing range had completely covered the entire mountain road, which caused a large area of the mountain bandits to fall in an instant. With this cannon, not only were three siege equipment damaged, but the mountain bandits standing in front of the array suffered heavy casualties, and even more than half of the pro-soldiers were killed or wounded. Xiong Ben, who was standing at the rear, was unscathed, but the soldiers standing in front of him were hit by shrapnel and swallowed in a blink of an eye.

The mountain bandits, who had been hit hard, finally couldn't hold it anymore and began to flee one after another. Xiong Ben repeated his old tricks again, and began to kill people again to prevent him from escaping. He personally killed several mountain bandits who escaped the fastest, including the messenger he had sent to Liuliba to persuade him to surrender, and when the mountain bandits saw that he had even killed his cronies, they were even more afraid of his ruthlessness, and they stopped in shock and fear. At this moment, Xiong Ben understands that he can't force an attack anymore, if he forces these mountain bandits, they will mutiniate and even fight with themselves. Now that his own team has suffered heavy casualties, he is no longer able to suppress these outlaws under him. But he also knew that if he didn't stabilize his position, he would be defeated and defeated. The top priority at the moment is to form a good formation and slowly retreat, otherwise it is a trivial matter to let the defeated army collapse on its own, and lose its weapons and equipment, which will make his prestige plummet and threaten his domination in Wanjiaping and even in this mountain.

Under Xiong Ben's order, the bandits and the people who had become frightened birds were in a panic when they were tidying up their formations and packing up their baggage, when the artillery on the wall of Liuliba rang out again. Where the blazing dense shotguns flew, the mountain bandits and the people fell again. This second cannon became the last straw that crushed the camel, and after the sound of the cannon, the bandits and the people no longer cared about Xiong Ben's threat, and fled with their lives. Looking at the subordinates who rushed away, Xiong Ben was no longer able to return to the sky, he turned around and saw that the gate of Liulizhai was slowly opening, so he also took the remaining soldiers and rushed towards Wanjiaping.
