Chapter 171: Reward of Fifty Taels

As the rebel team entered the designated position, only a whistle was heard.

"Beep——"

The man who had been standing in front of the rope for a long time and was becoming anxious suddenly became alert and swung his knife to cut the rope tied with spikes.

Then, a row of spikes as thick as wrists fell down with a whoosh.

At the same time, some stones pushed aside were also pushed down.

On the rebel side, they only heard the whistle. When the flag chief and the experienced old soldiers heard it, they were shocked and thought there was an ambush!
But in a flash they felt that it was impossible. A caravan, even if there were three to five hundred people with it, consisted of old, weak and sick people fleeing. How could they know what kind of ambush they would set?

The next second, there was a noise above his head. The rebel looked up and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Someone shouted: "There are falling rocks, get out of the way!"

Each spike is three or four meters long, and they are not freshly cut. Bai Tao bought them from the mall. One such spike cost her five hundred coins.

She bought one hundred of them, but there were limited suitable locations, so only sixty of them could be tied together on a hundred-meter-long road section.

The combination of spikes and stones killed more than fifty rebels on the mountain road below.

If it weren't for the space restrictions, there would be more.

In the first encounter, they lost more than a hundred people. The flag chief was so angry that his eyes turned red: "Damn it, why didn't anyone tell me that they had these things."

"Don't stop, keep going!"

"Run faster!!"

"Hurry, there won't be that many falling rocks!!!"

The attack on the mountain was launched only after the rebel team had passed more than 200 people, and as a result, the team was split in two.

At this time, unless they ignore the more than 200 people in front, the team behind them can only continue to rush forward.

Perhaps because no more rocks fell from the mountain, the rebels, although still frightened, quickly obeyed orders and continued to charge forward.

The flag chief shouted angrily: "There is a large merchant caravan above, very rich, with money and women. Whoever rushes there first will be rewarded with fifty taels."

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

When the flag chief shouted like this, the rebels rushed forward with a roar as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

At this time, another whistle was heard, and stones fell from the top again.

The rebels in this range were immediately beaten to the point of crying for their parents, and most of them didn't even have a chance to cry.

There is no way, this area is open and there is almost no place to hide on the mountain road.

The flag chief looked at how over three hundred of his men had died in an instant, without them even seeing the other party, and his eyes turned red with anger.

"Charge! Charge! I want to use them as a sacrifice to my brothers!"

"The pension for brothers who died in battle today will be doubled—"

First there were spikes, then two waves of rocks. Anyone would have thought that was enough.

After all, in such a hurry, where would so many stones come from in the mountains?

But what no one expected was that just as the third wave of rebels were getting ready and charging cautiously, rocks fell from above again.

Bai Dabao, who was in charge of this area, thought to himself, who said there was only one wave of stones.

Seeing that the rebels below were almost defeated, he quickly called for a halt: "Take a break, save some energy."

Although the stones can still be used three or four times and more can be transported, since there are not many people down there, it is better to save money if possible.

The rebels were indeed experienced, and soon the flag chief gave the order to allow small groups to pass through.

"Go in groups of three or five, several meters apart, and be careful when passing through."

"They won't have any tricks up their sleeves. This kind of stone attack must be their most powerful trick."

Bai Dabao was observing with binoculars, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but exclaimed. He put down the binoculars, looked at Bai Youli who was waiting behind him, and spread his hands: "It's your turn."

Bai Youli dropped the dogtail grass in his hand and said, "We have been waiting for so long that it is almost moldy."

"Crossbow team, let's go!"

Bai Dabao smiled and said to his team of slingers, "Let's move back and take a break, and make room for the crossbow team."

The two teams quickly exchanged positions. In the slingshot team, the people from Taohua Village were okay because they were strong, but the others were not so good.

They had used all their strength just now and didn't feel it when they were excited. But after they gave up their seats and walked to the back, they felt not only their legs but also their hands were weak.

"Come on, drink some water, eat something, and take a rest."

Yang Xianglian, who was waiting a little further away, came over with a few women carrying buckets and bowls.

Don’t say that women and children cannot take part in the war. The young girls and wives in the Baijiabao caravan actually took crossbows and joined the charge just like the men.

They just deliver food and drink. If they can't do even these things, they are useless.

Who would keep a useless person?

Now, they are afraid that they will not do enough and will be disliked.

At the same time, the crossbow team moved forward and backward, pointing the crossbows in their hands and the arrows on the bows downwards.

In groups of three or five?

No problem, a small group of people like this is just right for using the latest explosive arrows.

My aunt said that this kind of arrow is very powerful, almost as powerful as a gunpowder bomb.

The crossbow team loosened their grip, and heard the sound of the wind breaking at high speed: "Swoosh~"

Then, someone with sharp ears from the rebels below shouted, "Be careful to hide, there are bows and arrows..."

The rebels knew that the guards in the caravan were equipped with bows and crossbows.

But they didn't expect that this arrow was different.

When the explosion sounded, and when groups of soldiers were blown away and fell to the ground, the undead were also spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

Not to mention the rebels, after the battle started, Lu Xiaohao took Yang Song to find a place where they could vaguely see a little below.

When I saw this scene, I was so shocked that I couldn't close my jaw for a long time.

Hiss, isn't this too powerful? !
The people in Taohua Village were also shocked.

But the crossbow team was only slightly surprised. As I said, these arrows are different from the previous ones.

They quickly continued shooting, and anyone with more than three people were within the attack range.

Bai Dashan was holding a telescope and was also stunned by the exploding arrow.

What did I say just now? It's more powerful than gunpowder bombs.

This explosive arrow is not just slightly more powerful than a gunpowder bomb; it is much more powerful.

What my aunt said is too conservative.

In fact, Bai Tao didn't know that the explosion would be so big. She specifically chose the upgraded version when she bought it because she was afraid that it wouldn't be powerful enough.

Because when she played in elite peace mode, the damage range caused by the explosive hunting bow was indeed not large.

At this time, Bai Tao was also a little surprised. The chocolate in her mouth was bitten off in an instant: "This price is not bad."

Mall: “…” Humph, I definitely didn’t recommend the upgraded version just because you threatened to return the product and get a refund if it doesn’t work.

Soon, a huge explosion was heard from below.

The people on the mountain looked quickly and saw that someone had hit the gunpowder barrel on the rebels' cart.

The explosive arrow immediately detonated the gunpowder barrel.
