Yu Dazhong's subordinates were holding torches, shouting and huddling together on the mountain road, when suddenly, someone pricked up their ears: "What is the sound in the air?"

The thieves didn't finish a word, and several round objects fell from the sky and smashed between everyone!

Erniu's calculation was extremely accurate, the first batch of pottery bombs smashed accurately between the palace gate and the people in the rivers and lakes, and several pottery bombs hit the ground heavily, and the broken pottery pieces were scattered, smashing on the people who were only wearing cloth clothes, and suddenly cut out a bloody wound, and they screamed in pain.

Among them, a pottery bomb hit the head of a Jianghu person, snapped, and smashed his head into a rotten watermelon on the spot, and the pottery bomb was stained with bright red blood and brains like tofu brains, fell to the ground, rolled, and happened to roll to the feet of Yu Dazhong, who was stunned.

The bearded merchant dragged Yu Dazhong over, hid him behind him, and shouted: "Enemy attack!"

Only then did everyone realize that their group was obviously here to sneak attack, but they didn't expect Houlong Village to be prepared, but instead used strange weapons to catch the group off guard.

However, when you hold a torch and shine a random light, you don't see where the enemy is? What is it that attacked you?

At this time, there was another gust of wind in the air, and the second batch of pottery bombs flew over, and several people were injured.

This time, everyone could see that the attacker had actually thrown this round thing from a great distance! Oh my God, what a strong man it must be to throw such a pottery bomb with his bare hands!

The third batch of pottery bombs came one after another, under the illumination of the flickering torches, the bearded man could see clearly at a glance, the pottery bombs were actually smashed at Yu Dazhong and himself, he was quick to move, snatched the full-body shield of a mercenary next to him, and erected it in front of himself and Yu Dazhong. At this time, the black bear that followed Yu Dazhong roared loudly, and the person stood up, waved his claws heavily, and snapped, and smashed a pottery bomb in public, and the broken pottery pieces clanged and smashed on the shield in the bearded man's hand, and no one was injured.

Yu Dazhong was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he retreated again and again: "Everyone go back! Go back! Houlong Village has already taken precautions, go back quickly!"

The crowd ran back in a haphazard manner, they were a rabble, and even their wounded companions were thrown to the ground, ignoring them, until they turned a corner, fled to the trail behind, and made sure that they had dodged the strange earthenball attack, and then stopped.

Yu Dazhong's eyes straightened, and he trembled and said: "Oh no! Oh no! Houlong Village has discovered our sneak attack! They have also laid an ambush and attacked us with strange weapons, so go quickly." The operation failed!"

The bearded man grabbed Yu Dazhong's collar and roared: "Palace Master Yu, calm down! How can there be any ambush soldiers in Houlong Village? If there are really ambush soldiers, they will be killed a long time ago, and now where is our life." In my opinion, they just had one or two strange weapons that caught us off guard. If you take a closer look, this pottery egg is actually not very powerful, and we only hurt a few people. ”

The bearded man said that he had injured a few people, but the salvo of three waves of pottery bombs only caused two deaths and seven injuries to Yu Dazhong's team, and the wounded were basically just some small wounds, and they did not hurt their muscles and bones. This is indeed insignificant for a team of nearly 1,000 people.

After listening to the bearded man's analysis, Yu Dazhong became bold again: "These hillbillies in Houlong Village actually dare to struggle to the death! Rush in and kill them all, grandpa will have a heavy reward!"

Those people in the rivers and lakes accidentally ate a turtle, and at this time they were also angry, and they roared one after another, wanting to rush over again.

The bearded man stopped them, "Wait, I've looked at those pottery bomb attacks carefully, the number of pottery bombs each attack is not very large, if we are crowded together, we will be easily injured, everyone will have to disperse." In this way, even if the pottery bomb is smashed, those fragments will not hurt a few of us. ”

The bearded man fought in the steppe for the elderly, and when the cavalry charged, it was the most natural thing to gather and disperse.

Yu Dazhong nodded: "That's right, that's it, this is the method, have you all heard clearly?" Rush up in groups of three or five, don't squeeze into a ball!" He rolled his eyes: "There are many more people than the hillbillies in Houlong Village, so we don't need to crowd all of them at this mountain crossing, come here, bring another 200 people, go to the wall on the side of the village, break the wall, and attack on both sides!"

Li Bo was lying on the hill, checking the results of the stone thrower, he saw the lime target scattered in the middle of the weapons thrown by the thief when he fled, several straw sandals and torches, several corpses fell to the ground, a thief with a broken leg, crying and crawling back on the ground, the white ash of the target was stained red with blood.

He laughed and said, "These thieves are going to run away?" hehe, I thought they were coming with a lot of momentum, how great they were. Unexpectedly, after eating a few pottery bombs from the stone thrower invented by Brother Guo, he died and was injured, and he turned his head and ran away. ”

Chen Qingdai said: "Don't be careless, Yu Dazhong is extremely greedy, he won't let go of Houlong Village so easily, not to mention, the loss of the thieves is not big--"

As soon as the words fell, sure enough, at the end of the mountain road, a group of thieves ran back in a hurry, shouting and shouting with knives and guns.

Li Bo shouted repeatedly: "Erniu, prepare to recalculate the trajectory, and prepare the stone thrower!"

"Wait!" Chen Qingdai suddenly raised her body, "It's not good, the enemy has already discovered the weakness of the stone thrower, that is, the firepower density is not enough, they are actually divided into straggler formations!"

Li Boer also saw the strangeness of the enemy's formation, and he understood after a little thought that in the face of such a scattered formation, most of the attacks of the pottery bombs would fail.

It's just that he didn't panic, because Guo Dalu had mentioned to them that he might face a similar situation before, and he turned his head and shouted to the villagers behind him: "Get on the shotgun!"

The so-called shotgun is to use a bamboo basket to hold a fist-sized gravel, one by one bamboo baskets instead of pottery bullets, and move on the stone thrower, the stone thrower vibrates, the bamboo basket flies to the thief, the bamboo basket is torn by gravity, and it is broken apart, and the gravel inside falls from the sky like hail. The gravel in a bamboo basket can cover a large area, and the thief without a helmet will be beaten to the head and bleeding. More than a dozen stone throwers burst into a dense burst, forcing the thieves' charge back again.

Yu Dazhong looked at the people who fled back in embarrassment, and urged them to rush up again, but those people in the rivers and lakes just took money to work for others, and originally thought that dealing with a group of farmers was just a piece of cake, but he didn't expect to run into hard stubble, and he didn't dare to come out again anyway.

And those who left the palace only scared the little people on weekdays, where had they fought such a tough battle, at this time, seeing that several companions had been killed and wounded, their legs were already weak, and they sat down on the ground, and they refused to get up even if Yu Dazhong urged them. Most of those disciples have a relationship with Yu Dazhong, but Yu Dazhong can't be strong, and he can't kill a few people to correct military discipline.

The bearded merchant sneered beside him - these southerners are really cowardly, such a small battle, only a few people were injured, and they no longer dared to attack, this world, originally my warriors on the grassland should rule, and the southerners are only worthy of honest farming.

The bearded merchant said, "Let the mercenaries come on, they are wearing heavy armor, and these broken stones can't hurt them." "The bearded man originally didn't want to use mercenaries so early, and he still thought about it afterwards, but the people who left the palace and the people in the rivers and lakes were just a group of rabble, and they couldn't be driven, so they had to let him take action in advance.

Yu Dazhong felt that he had lost face in front of the merchants, gritted his teeth, and said to the monsters around him: "It's time for you beasts to make a difference!

The black bear spirit who took the lead roared, and a gust of black wind blew, only to see that he had changed into a human bear head, wearing a black battle armor, and it said coldly: "The surname is Yu, we have said okay, help you destroy Houlong Village, and you Tianyi Pavilion will let me go free." ”

Yu Dazhong said impatiently: "I know, I know, you go quickly." ”

The black bear spirit roared, and rushed out with a group of demons under his command, his subordinates actually did not have a long cultivation time, and they could not change into human form, but they were a few points stronger than ordinary beasts, and they were more ferocious and tyrannical.

Behind the black bear spirit, the Lucia mercenaries had also formed a phalanx, holding their shields high, and actually lined up in a formation similar to the Roman tortoise formation, shouting in unison, and slowly pressing towards Houlong Village.

Behind the hill bag, Chen Qingdai and Li Bo also found out that this attack was extraordinary, and they immediately ordered all the catapults to cover the shooting, and they didn't bother to stay on the hill bag to check the shooting effect, ran to the side of the catapult and helped the villagers to launch.

After a few rounds of shotgunning, all but a shrill clatter was heard, and the parts on one of the stone throwers were overwhelmed, cracked, and with a bang, the unbalanced stone thrower fell to the ground.

It turned out that these stone throwing machines, after all, were only trial products of Guo Dalu, and they were not perfect enough. During this intense use, individual parts are worn out excessively. The rubble is so precise that if even one part is broken, the whole stone thrower can no longer be used.

Soon there were different failures of the stone thrower, and the density of fire was reduced all at once. In fact, even if the catapult did not malfunction, this round of shotguns did not hurt many enemies.

The spirits led by the black bear are flexible, and when they hear the wind in the air, they can listen to the wind and identify their positions, and flexibly avoid all the rubble, while the turtle formation organized by the mercenaries is very heavy, and the scattered bullets just smashed on the shield above their heads, and they clanged for a while, and they were also unharmed.
