Chapter 452: The Great Cage

Hu Liuyang rushed to the edge of the moat in a few steps, but he didn't stop, kicked his feet, and flew towards the opposite bank. The moat of Okura Castle was twelve or thirteen zhang wide, and Hu Liuyang jumped four or five zhang away, and fell into the middle of the river with a "poof", splashing a large splash, and his figure immediately sank to the bottom of the water.

The moat was two feet deep, and the bottom of the river was filled with sharpened wooden stakes, which were originally used to prevent people from swimming. But I saw the river surging, the sound of shattering came, and a few wooden stakes floated to the water, but they were broken by force, and the bull horn copper helmet that Hu Liuyang was wearing, and the head and face with green fangs had appeared on the water surface on the other side of the moat, and rushed to the shore in a few steps.

Although this Hu troll did not perform light skills, he jumped into the river, broke the stake from the bottom of the moat, and rushed to the opposite bank, and it only took a few breaths, and the moat was more than ten zhang wide, and it did not have any effect on him at all!

Seeing this, the guards on the city wall shouted, "Shoot that demon king quickly, don't let him get close!" At the sound of the bowstring, dozens of feather arrows were sent out, shooting towards Hu Liuyang!

Hu Liuyang rushed across the moat, still without stopping, rushing straight towards the city wall, but he didn't care about the flying arrows shot from the city, neither blocking nor dodging. Only a "clanging" sound was heard, and dozens of feather arrows hit his body and face, but they had no effect, and all of them fell to the ground.

And this Hu troll had already rushed to the base of the city wall, but he had no intention of stopping the tall stone wall in front of him, but kicked the ground with both feet, increasing the momentum of the forward rush!

He heard a loud bang, and Hu Liuyang had already crashed into the city wall, and he had smashed a large piece of the bluestone on the wall, forming a large hole that had been recessed! The soldiers defending the city who were standing in front of the battlements on the wall all felt that their feet were shaking, their standing was unstable, and they almost fell off the city.

Hu Liuyang waved his arms, and the two copper hammer-like fists had struck the depression in the wall, only to see the stone chips flying, the city wall shook, and the big hole was beaten several feet deeper!

Could it be that this giant like a demon king actually wanted to break through the city wall? The soldiers on the wall shouted and pulled their bows and released arrows, and the sharp arrows flew towards the troll like drops, but the arrows that hit him still fell to the ground one after another, and could not hurt him in the slightest!

At this time, the Qian Twin Demons at the entrance of the tunnel also began to act, each of them stretched out a hand, and together they lifted a big burden, rushing straight towards the moat. The big bag, which weighed six feet long and six feet wide, had been brought out of the tunnels by pirates, and it looked very heavy, but they didn't know what the bread was within.

Unlike the Hu Troll who had walked directly across the moat from the bottom of the water, the Qian Twin Demons jumped up from the riverside and flew towards the opposite bank. On the surface of the river, there were several hooks left by pirates who had crossed the river before, and the Qian brothers' toes were a little on the rope, and they had crossed the river more than ten zhang wide and landed on the opposite bank. The light skills of the two were extremely high, and the big burden was carried in their hands as if there was nothing.

Just as the Qian Twin Demons crossed the river, Hu Liuyang struck more than ten punches one after another, seeing that the big hole on the city wall had been sunk into a depth of seven or eight feet, he sneered, no longer hit, but strode forward and retreated to a few feet away.

The pirate minions who had already rushed to the city wall also retreated one after another, dodging into the distance, and the Qian Clan's twin demons jumped up and landed in front of the city wall, and the two of them waved their arms together, and the big burden was suddenly stuffed into the big hole. And Qian Baban stretched out his hand and pulled into the baggage, and pulled out a white rope, which turned out to be a fuse.

"There's gunpowder in that baggage!" they're going to blow up the city walls!" someone in the city reacted and shouted loudly, and the guards and soldiers once again desperately fired arrows, just trying to prevent the Qian brothers from detonating the gunpowder.

However, Qian Badou and Qian Jiukong, as the "Nine Dragons" among the people of the Dragon Palace, were strong in martial arts, and it was difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to hurt them.

At this time, Qian Badou took a torch and lit the fuse of gunpowder.

Such a large bag of gunpowder, weighing at least a few hundred catties, saw that the fuse had been ignited, and the guards in the city were also critical to saving their lives, so they didn't care about releasing any more arrows, threw down their bows and arrows and fled to both sides, while the Qian Twin Demons jumped out and withdrew lightly to seven or eight zhang away.

There was an earth-shattering roar, the flames rushed out, the earth and stones flew in one after another, and the entire city wall had been blown out of a gap three or four zhang wide! And there were still a few soldiers in the city who had not had time to escape, and they were also blown to pieces!

All of a sudden, the smoke was so thick that it was difficult to see, and only the voice of a beast could be heard roaring: "Little ones, rush me!

Hundreds of pirates had already crossed the moat, and when they heard the order, they immediately raised their weapons and shouted and rushed towards the breach in the wall.

And from the holes in the grass on the opposite bank, pirates continued to emerge and force their way across the moat. This time, the "Black Dragon Palace" not only came out of the hole Hu Liuyang and the three masters of the Qian family, but also sent at least a team of thousands of people, it seems that they have made up their minds to take Okura City by surprise in one fell swoop!

Everyone among the pirates had heard of the richness of Okura Castle, and in their opinion, the walls that lay in front of them were the Zuihou defense line of the castle, but now it had been blown down. If you rush into the city, you will have countless treasures of gold and silver to plunder.

Even Hu Liuyang and the Qian brothers think so. Together with their pirates, they rushed through the blasted gaps into the walls.

Seeing that hundreds of pirates had already rushed into the city wall, at this moment, there was a sudden roar like a burst of beans, and the flames burst out all around, and countless lead bullets were shot head-on!

The walls had just been blown down, and the dust was so thick that it was difficult to see clearly, and the pirates who rushed into the city didn't have time to react, and they didn't even understand what was happening, they were shot by lead bullets, and a large part of them fell in an instant!

"It's not good, there's an ambush in the city wall!" It was Qian Badou who shouted, but at this time he discovered the ambush, and it was obviously too late! Instantly, there was another explosion, followed by the wailing and screaming of the pirates.

When the smoke finally cleared, the pirates realized that they had thought they could enter the city and loot as long as they rushed through the gaps in the walls, but in fact they had crashed headlong into a large cage. And this big cage is an encirclement of hundreds of musketeers!

Within the gap was a large open space, surrounded by rows of soldiers in black uniforms and armed with Western muskets, and even on the walls on both sides, many musketeers appeared at some point, and countless black holes pointed at the pirates in the clearing!

These men were none other than the musket corps of the Spanish aristocratic shipowner Gongora.

It was definitely an elaborate trap, and the pirates who rushed into the clearing were now completely uncovered, completely exposed to the guns of the opposing side, and became a live target for the musketeers to shoot!

There were four or five hundred pirates who rushed into the gap, and after the two volleys just now, at least one or two hundred of them had fallen to the ground, and many were wounded.

Hu Liuyang stood at the front of the pirate team, his huge figure must have been shot many times just now, and the green cloth shirt on his body had been torn, revealing his yellow and clear bronze armor.

It turned out that the troll king was wearing heavy armor under his clothes, so it was no wonder that the arrows from before couldn't help him at all, and even the musket lead bullet didn't seem to hurt him.

The Qian brothers were not injured, although they did not have the invulnerability of the Hu trolls, but they had an extremely keen reaction, and immediately grabbed the pirate minions around them to block the lead bullets when the gunshots rang out just now, although the two unlucky eggs who were used as shields had already died, but the Qian brothers escaped.

Seeing this, the pirates began to wince, and some of them were moving towards the gap, trying to flee back. Although they are usually evil ghosts who kill people without blinking, killing people and being killed are completely different things. The other party has obviously laid a trap a long time ago, and in such a situation, of course, saving life is the most important thing.

Qian Badou shouted loudly: "None of them are allowed to retreat! While they are loading, rush forward for me!"

He shouted, and with a swing of his axe, he had already split off the head of a retreating pirate minion!

Qian Badou deserves to be the general of the Dragon Palace, and his judgment is not wrong.

Since he has been surrounded by the other party, even if he retreats and breaks through at this time, he will not be able to escape from the range of the musket immediately, and he will still be pursued by the musket. Rather than being killed while fleeing, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's musketeer to reload and force his charge, as long as he can get close to hand-to-hand combat, the power of the musket will not be unleashed.

With no way out, the pirates had become outlaws, screaming loudly and rushing forward. They were still twenty or thirty feet away from the musketeers, and the pirates were hoping that they didn't have time to reload their ammunition and fire before they could rush closer.

However, this hope is not realistic.

I only heard an order from the opponent's formation, and the soldiers in the front row who had just finished firing collected their guns and retreated, while the musketeers who were originally standing in the back row had already raised their guns in unison and aimed at the pirates who rushed over!

It turned out that these musketeers from Spain were well-trained and used the method of shooting in turns, and they did not give the enemy a chance to rush forward at all!

Another roar sounded, and the pirate hordes fell down again in pieces, and the four or five hundred people who had originally entered the trap were now only a little more than a hundred. After the fourth round of shooting by the musketeers, more than 100 people also fell to the ground, and there were only three pirates left in the field.

These three people are Hu Liuyang, Qian Badou and Qian Jiukong!

The cloth clothes on Hu Liuyang's body have completely turned into fragments, and a heavy armor made of fine copper is revealed. Although there were several marks on the bronze armor, it was not penetrated, and even the lead bullets fired from the musket still could not help the giant.
