A round of arrows came like a rain, and in the blink of an eye, the Wu Jing soldiers who had rushed halfway up the city wall were shot into a sieve, and they fell down unwillingly.

It wasn't over yet. I saw smoking bamboo tubes being thrown out from the city wall at some point. Wu Jingjun didn't know what the bamboo tubes were for yet. They looked at the bamboo tubes blankly, with astonishment in their eyes.

At this moment, the bamboo tube suddenly exploded, and the people around him were immediately killed and injured. The Wu Jing army attacking the city was already dense, and there were only four siege ladders sent up. Three hundred people were divided into four.

Under the siege ladder.

There were nearly 80 people on each siege ladder. Such a dense formation was simply used as a target for bamboo bombs.

As soon as the screams started, explosions came one after another, which blinded Wu Jing's army under the city wall, and they immediately fell into chaos. In the blink of an eye, almost a hundred people were killed and injured.

Before the archers who had just caught up understood what was happening, some bamboo bombs rolled in front of them and exploded.

These archers didn't even have time to draw their bows before they were blown to pieces. Several dozen people in the front row were directly killed and several others were injured.

This was just the beginning. A dense barrage of arrows was fired at the hundred-man archery army, and scores of archers fell down. The rest were too frightened to step forward.

The four hundred people who attacked the stronghold engaged in battle almost at the beginning. As soon as they reached the city wall, they were killed until only a few dozen people were left. The rest were either dead or injured. The screams were heard under the stronghold wall.

Cheng Ying, who was watching the battle below, stood up from his position in shock, his eyes full of disbelief. He thought he could easily capture the entire Longtou Village, but he never expected that such casualties would occur just after the battle.

One-third of his thousand-man troops were lost in one fell swoop. The rest were so frightened that they ran back. Moreover, everyone was wounded, with bamboo shavings stabbed into their bodies or faces, and they were bleeding profusely.

Cheng Ying and Cheng Yi took a deep breath and looked in the direction of Longtou Village in horror. He never thought that Longtou Village would have such a sharp weapon.

Cheng Ying narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of Longtou Bu Village. On the tower of the village wall, he saw several figures standing there from a distance, but he couldn't see the figures clearly.

But at this moment, his eyes were as cold as water. If his eyes could kill, several people on the city wall had killed him countless times with his eyes.

"General, are we going to withdraw the brothers from Weihu Mountain and Tianlang Mountain and then attack Longtou Village!" Cheng Yi asked Cheng Ying cautiously at this time.

With such casualties, if the remaining 600 people attack together, they may not be able to capture Longtou Village. They can only think of ways to increase their strength.

But if this is the case, the Weihu Village and Tianlang Village will definitely be empty. If not, the two villages will send troops to make a sneak attack. Then it will be troublesome!

"Hmph... To destroy a Longtou stronghold, do you need to call in troops from other places? Send the order, and the remaining 600 people will all press forward. In addition, add four siege ladders and use the shields!"

Cheng Ying snorted coldly, his face full of disdain. He knew that his subordinates suffered such heavy losses because of his underestimation of the enemy.

If he had asked his soldiers to use upper-circuit shields from the beginning, what use would the new-style arrows in Longtou Village have? At the same time, his eyes were burning.

The weird arrows of Dragon Head Arrow not only have a long range, but also seem to be able to fire continuously, which makes him greedy. If he can get this weapon, his Wu Jing army will definitely become the best among the best.

!

Therefore, he couldn't wait to send reinforcements, and he was arrogant that he didn't need reinforcements. If he had to use 3,000 troops to fight against the weakest Longtou stronghold, then how could he fight against the remaining two strongholds!

After hearing his order, Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to stop it, but in the end, he swallowed it.

With the combat power of Wu Jingjun, if he goes all out, even if the opponent's weapons are powerful, he can easily defeat them.

Although the opponent's arrows are fierce, don't forget that Wu Jing's soldiers have a shield. If they didn't abandon the shield because they were afraid of the inconvenience of attacking the city, they wouldn't have suffered heavy losses from the beginning.

As for the exploding bamboo tube, as long as the troops are spread out and get down in time when the bamboo tube falls, the damage to them will not be great.

"The whole army listens to the order, everyone presses forward, and sends the remaining four ladders up. Everyone pays attention to disperse and maintain the formation. Today, we must capture Longtou Village. The general will give a big reward to the first one to enter the village."

Cheng Yi shouted loudly.

Immediately, the enthusiasm of all the military officers and soldiers was high, and their morale, which had been stunned and low just now, was also aroused at this time.

Everyone picked up their shields. What they were thinking was that with the shields in their hands, they could just push them under the city wall and then attack the city wall. With the combat power of Longtou Village, how could they stop them.

The shield can withstand arrows, but the new weapons of Longtou Village are of little use to them.

With this thought, the remaining 600 Wu Jing troops immediately pressed forward. They chanted the slogan of destroying Longtou Village and began to march towards the village.

The speed was much faster than before. They were worried that Longtou Village would knock down the ladder that was just erected on the city wall.

However, fortunately, Longtou Village did not seem to have any intention of knocking down the ladder, and actually allowed the ladder to be properly erected on the city wall. This was simply a humiliation for Wu Jingjun.

Cheng Ying also saw that Longtou Village did not push down the ladder. He frowned, with doubts in his eyes. In a fierce battle, Longtou Village would not have given Wu Jingjun a chance.

But what is the reason for not knocking down the ladder? Is it because the people in Longtou Village are arrogant, or is it that Longtou Village didn't think of this.

He didn't know that Yunze's intention was not to knock down the ladder, which was to give Wu Jing's army the illusion that they still had a chance to capture Longtou Village.

Yunze's strategy also worked. Seeing that the ladder had not been overthrown, the soldiers attacking the stronghold rushed up in a hurry, fearing that the people in Longtou Village would react and knock down the ladder.

At the foot of the mountain, except for Cheng Ying's 80 personal guards, the remaining 600 people all attacked on the slope under the village gate. They were scattered very scattered. Such dispersion would make the shooting of arrows very difficult.

difficulty.

Moreover, the lethality of the bamboo tube bombs became weaker, so this tactic seemed to be very effective. Seeing that there was no reaction on the wall, Cheng Ying was relieved of his worries.

Cheng Yi also had a look of disdain. He had suffered the loss of underestimating the enemy before. This time he knew the enemy's methods. Do you still want to save Longtou Village?

With disdain on his face, Cheng Ying wanted to scream loudly. He felt aggrieved for once and wanted to vent his unhappiness.

But before he could roar, he saw several torch-bearing arrows on the wall of Longtou Village aimed at three piles of withered grass on the edge of the hillside.

Cheng Ying was originally in a proud mood, but suddenly had a bad premonition. He opened his mouth to ask his men to withdraw their troops.

But at this time, the fire arrows had already shot at the three piles of hay. Before he could react, the hay made a buzzing sound and the fire shot up into the sky the moment the rockets penetrated.

Even if the hay is dried again, it is absolutely impossible to produce such a powerful fire. This makes Cheng Ying's sense of crisis even stronger. He shouted in shock and anger:

"Retreat! Hurry...retreat!" he shouted anxiously. Unfortunately, his voice was drowned out by the shouts of the excited soldiers rushing to the summit.

Just a few breaths after he started shouting loudly, bang... the mountain shook, something on the hillside suddenly exploded, and almost all the dozen or so people there were blown away.

The Wu Jingjun troops who rushed up the mountain were so frightened that they turned to look in the direction of the explosion. When they saw their comrades who had been blown away, their scalps went numb and a deep fear filled their eyes.

Wu Jingjun, who had just been excited to rush to the peak, turned around and ran away in fear. Those Wu Jingjun who had just rushed under the city wall were frightened to death. How could they think of attacking the city?

In the blink of an eye, Wu Jing's army, which was originally aggressive, suddenly became a defeated army. However, they fled like this, but they did not stop the explosion of dense bamboo mines buried on the hillside.

Wherever it passed, six hundred people were stunned by the bombing. They were killed in pieces, and almost no one was spared. Not only that, there were also people on the city wall throwing bamboo bombs into crowded places.

As if he was afraid that the explosion would not kill these people, explosions were heard one after another. At the bottom of the mountain, Cheng Ying slumped down on a chair, his eyes full of disbelief. Two words were in his mind!

"It's over! His one thousand elite subordinates were completely overwhelmed in this battle. They didn't even reach the top of Longtou Village, and they didn't even touch the bandit soldiers of Longtou Village.",

The explosion lasted for tens of seconds, and almost all 600 people were killed on the mountain. The three bamboo thunders were ignited together, and they were not ignited until the 600 people rushed halfway up the slope.

There was no chance for the enemy to escape at all. The 600 people lost their combat effectiveness in this way. At least more than half were killed, more than half were seriously injured, and a very small number were slightly injured.

But they were so frightened that their legs were weak and they still had the strength to escape down the mountain.

At this moment, the gate of Longtou Village was opened, and nearly 300 soldiers poured out from inside. They attacked Wu Jingjun who was still alive on the ground. The ones who were slightly injured were so frightened that they got up and wanted to run away.

was shot.

The soldiers of Longtou Village rushed toward Cheng Ying at the bottom of the mountain, led by Su Qianmo. At this time, she covered her face and vowed to kill Cheng Ying here.

In order to prevent Cheng Ying from recognizing him, Yunze had covered his face before. Now, it is even more impossible to chase Cheng Ying. Who knows whether Cheng Ying can escape. Of course it would be best if he cannot escape. If Cheng Ying escapes

.

If he is recognized, I am afraid that many people will be implicated.

At the foot of the mountain, Cheng Ying, Cheng Yi and their 80 personal guards came to their senses, and their expressions suddenly changed. Cheng Ying didn't care so much, turned around and jumped on the horse beside him. He urged the horse and fled forward.

.

He is not a fool, nor is he reckless. He is not afraid of death. No one in Longtou Village has taken action until now. This is when his energy is at its peak.

No matter how powerful he is, how can he still fight against more than 300 people from Longtou Village? The arrows in their hands are not vegetarian. No matter how unwilling he is.

But Cheng Ying also knew that he had to escape, otherwise, he would probably be found here today.

The eighty personal guards under him all had war horses. They mounted their war horses and chased after Cheng Ying. In the blink of an eye, the supervising platform at the foot of the mountain was completely empty.

In less than an hour from the battle to the present, Cheng Ying's thousand troops of Wu Jing were destroyed, and Cheng Ying fled in embarrassment.

All the people from Longtou Village rushed to the foot of the mountain. They surrounded the battle supervising platform, their eyes full of excitement, and everyone looked up to the sky and shouted, as if they had never been so happy.

When Cheng Ying was about to attack them, everyone in the village was in panic. No one thought they could defeat the army and everyone was prepared to die.

But who would have thought that after Yunze came over, not only did Gaozhaimen have a high wall, but he also brought them extremely lethal weapons. Wu Jing's army rushed to the peak twice and they were completely wiped out.

As long as Cheng Ying was not a fool, he would never dare to die again. He would not even dare to write a clear battle report here.

Yunze looked at the direction in which Cheng Ying was escaping and sighed. This guy was too slippery. It would be really difficult to kill him.

However, from the fact that Cheng Ying did not personally participate in the battle, it can be seen that this guy is afraid of death and will never take the lead. It is really difficult to find an opportunity to kill him!

Originally, Yunze planned to use the bed slave to kill Cheng Ying, but he gave up the idea. Although the bed slave's shooting range did not reach the abnormal 1,500 meters, it could still shoot 500 to 600 meters.

However, Cheng Ying's location should be more than five or six hundred meters away. Even if he could hit Cheng Ying, the damage would be limited. Therefore, Yunze gave up this idea.

It seemed that Su Qianmo had to find another way to take revenge.

After the people from Longtou Village collected supplies at the foot of the mountain and returned to the mountain, Yunze saw the excited Han Long and others. Today's battle gave them hope of fighting against the imperial court.

However, in today's battle, Yunze still saw the shortcomings. If he had not planted bamboo mines on the hillside in advance, I am afraid that even if Wu Jing's army could be repulsed today, there would be huge casualties on Longtou Village.

.

After all, Wu Jingjun was not a vegetarian. If he had not suffered from underestimating the enemy and not knowing the power of new weapons, it would have been impossible for Longtou Village to hold on without paying the price.

Yunze decided to think of some new weapons to solve the dilemma that would arise after being unable to lay mines. Looking at those bamboo bombs, Yunze stared at them for a long time.

Soon, his eyes brightened. If he could build a few small launch tubes, and then make bamboo mines into shells like mortars, he would be able to hit them wherever he wants. Compared with grenade-type bamboo mines, I don’t know how advanced they are.
