Chapter 172 Upgraded Gunpowder Bombs

The rebels probably didn't expect that in order to avoid the exploding arrows, many people either rushed forward or ran backwards, and more people ran backwards.

There were many people crowded around the carts carrying gunpowder bombs, so when the gunpowder barrel on one cart exploded, the cart a few meters behind it was also set on fire, and then the one behind it...

A large number of rebels who were crowded around these carts were blown away by their own gunpowder bombs.

Originally, the damage caused by the slingshot team was only about 300 people, while the crossbow team had 200 to 300 people at the beginning.

However, this huge explosion instantly blew the rebels who were blocked in the lower half into pieces and knocked countless people away.

The explosion was deafening, and when the sound stopped, few people were left alive.

The more than 200 rebels who had passed through earlier were also killed by Bai Dacheng and his men, leaving few of them with a chance to breathe.

Bai Dacheng and his men fought in a simple and rough manner.

They were blocked at a narrow entrance, a road not much wider than a carriage, so the rebels naturally couldn't rush in all at once.

They were lying in ambush, and when they saw the rebels rushing over, they first threw out flash grenades.

When the enemy was dizzy and temporarily lost his hearing, he shot at them with the crossbow in his hand.

In this way, they threw flash bombs and used crossbows at the same time.

Under the cover of flash bombs, the rebels had little ability to fight back.

When the big explosion sounded, the battle here ended.

There is no way hearing about it could be more intuitive than trying it yourself. Bai Dacheng and others were now beginning to be shocked by the power of the flash bomb.

"No wonder my aunt asked us to keep a good distance."

"Yes, if we were any closer, we would probably be in trouble too."

Bai Dacheng came back to his senses: "Of course, what my aunt said is true and we all have to write it down meticulously."

At this time, another group of people also rushed over following the noise.

Seeing the scene on the mountain road, the rebels who arrived later were stunned.

What happened?
Did the sealed gunpowder barrel explode?
What about those scattered stones in front?

Aren’t those people just fleeing? The only ones who can fight are the guards of the caravan.

But how many guards can a caravan have?

However, this scene made the later rebels confused.

Bai Tao's position was just right to see the rebels coming from below.

With so many people crowded here, it seemed a bit awkward for her not to do something.

The distance is too far, and bows and crossbows can't reach it, and neither can explosive hunting bows.

But Bai Tao quickly bought what she wanted from the mall.

Impact-triggered bomb.

Just throw it out and it will explode immediately after hitting something.

It is most suitable to use at this time.

Five hundred coins each?
It is true that when the cannon is fired, there is a fortune in gold.

Bai Tao was afraid that the later group of rebels would run away, so he didn't bother to bargain. He bought a hundred while muttering to himself.

"Dashan, come quickly."

A voice came from Bai Dashan's headphones, and he immediately ran to Bai Tao.

"I am here. Aunt, please give me your orders."

"Come on, do you see the people down there?"

Bai Dashan followed Bai Tao's instructions, poked his head to look down, and nodded: "Auntie, I see it."

"Find a few people to throw these things down for me."

Before Bai Dashan could ask any questions, Bai Tao casually explained, "This is an upgraded version of the gunpowder bomb."

Gunpowder bomb?
Upgraded version?

Bai Dashan only took a glance at the things in the wooden box, and immediately responded, quickly calling several people over.

"We won't need so many." Only four or five people could stand in this area. Soon, the wooden boxes were carried to the edge of the cliff. Bai Youli and his men were divided into two groups, taking turns to throw them. This way, they could advance and retreat in a timely manner and achieve the highest damage in a split second.

The captain of the later team quickly ordered a retreat.

After all, the current situation is unclear. A thousand people were killed or wounded. He must understand the situation, report it back, and organize the team before deciding what to do next.

"withdraw!!!"

But as soon as the order was issued, someone exclaimed.

When the flag captain looked up, he saw a lot of things falling on his head.

"This is?"

"Boom~~"

"Boom~~~"

"Boom boom boom boom..."

As the trigger bomb fell, explosions sounded one after another.

It was unlucky for the flag captain as he was right in the middle of the team.

But it happened that the place where it stopped was right under the big pine tree in Baitao, so the bomb fell down as it was triggered.

Whether it hits the ground or hits someone's head or shoulder, it explodes immediately, knocking over a group of people.

The continuously falling trigger bombs exploded, frightening the rebels at the head and tail so much that they immediately fled in panic.

The person who ran forward was naturally ruthlessly killed by the waiting crossbow team, while the person who ran backward was lucky enough to escape death.

However, many people were pushed and squeezed by the people behind them as they tumbled and crawled, and if they fell down the mountain they were either dead or half-crippled.

In this way, of the two groups of rebels, only half of the last group, less than two hundred people, managed to get down the mountain alive.

Although there were more than 20,000 rebels, many of them were conscripted men, and many of them besieged Yancheng.

The reason why these two flags of troops have good combat effectiveness is that they need to find supplies for the main army.

They were looking for able-bodied men everywhere, "robbing the rich to help the poor" and asking wealthy families to donate food and supplies.

Of course, when they meet a big fat sheep, they turn into bandits.

Who would have thought that this time he would fall into the hands of a caravan.

There were two thousand men, plus a hundred men guarding the able-bodied men at the foot of the mountain, so now there were less than three hundred people alive.

When the rebels at the foot of the mountain first heard the noise, they thought it was their own army's gunpowder bombs, but they didn't expect that it was their side that was being attacked.

The gunpowder bombs that had been disadvantageous in the past were not only not used against the enemy, but instead became their death warrant.

But the rebels at the foot of the mountain were fine, they only heard the noise, while the rebels who went up the mountain were so scared that their faces turned pale, and many of them vomited when they ran down the mountain.

Before, they didn’t mind others using gunpowder bombs, but now it’s no big deal when it happens to them.

Why would a caravan have such powerful gunpowder bombs?

The companions who had previously been drinking with me, killing and robbing with me, were in pieces in the blink of an eye, and some were even smashed into pulp by stones...

Too scary!

The rebels tumbled and crawled down the mountain. Half an hour later, the people on the mountain saw no movement and only then did they realize what was happening. They were a little bit incredulous.

"Just? Finished?"

"We won?"

"Is this the end of the fight?"

"We, this is, we actually won?"

"Ah? Win?"

Except for the people in Taohua Village, even Lu Xiaohao and his servant felt like they were dreaming and couldn't recover for a long time.

The people in Taohua Village were somewhat surprised. After all, the rebels were also soldiers, not bandits. But the villagers were more proud and arrogant.

"Yes. We won!"

Can you guys give me some votes to help me move up the rankings?
