Chapter 1463: Cunning as a Fox

"Regimental Commander! How come they don't seem that afraid?"

Everyone could see clearly that the savages of the Wulenge Tribe had indeed panicked for a moment, but it hadn't reached the point of losing control; they had even basically restored their formation by now. In the experience of Huaxia's campaigns, this was somewhat incomprehensible; the situation was too rare. Could it be that they even had a Bosa?

"Could it be that our bombs were seen by them, and then they felt they weren't that mysterious, so they aren't overthinking it? After all, just now it only exploded after hitting the ground." Wuzhong offered a relatively reasonable guess.

"Very likely. Once you see what these things are, you aren't that afraid anymore." Hun expressed agreement with this possibility.

Ce patted Zhuzi and gave a serious order: "Fine, don't worry about so much. Take advantage of this moment, continue the attack, and completely disrupt their formation. I don't believe that if we keep bombing, they won't stay afraid."

The Soldiers immediately tightened the strings and loaded the Spears. This time, they first adjusted the angle, then waited to ignite the Bomb, and only fired it after a count of five seconds. This time, it should be able to explode quite punctually.

The savages adjusted their state and continued to advance: "Continue! Don't be afraid!"

Boom!

This time, the Bomb basically exploded two seconds after hitting the ground. Seeing the Spear land beside them, the savage froze for a second; by the time they reacted and ran, it was already a bit too late. The Tribal Chief was also hit in the face by flying clods of dirt.

Fortunately, the damage from the dirt wasn't bad; it just hurt for a moment, and there was no bleeding, nor were any of his teeth knocked out.

He touched his face and spat fiercely: "This bunch of rats in the dirt! Move! Move quickly! Kill them all!"

Because the distance was relatively far, they couldn't charge first. If they charged now, they wouldn't have any strength left when it was time to fight later, so they definitely had to walk up first.

Moreover, these two attacks were separated by a long time, making the Tribal Chief feel that it was even less terrifying. As long as they ran fast after that long stick landed on the ground, it would be fine.

The Huaxia people were watching through the Telescope. The savages on the opposite side were standing relatively scattered and were continuing to spread out and fan out. This way, the damage from the Bomb would be even smaller because there were fewer people within the explosion radius. Just now, it didn't look like enough people had been killed.

"Continue, continue! Don't stop now, shoot as fast as you can!" Ce urged anxiously.

The Soldiers operating the Strong Crossbows didn't dare to hesitate at all. Several Strong Crossbows started up at the same time, attacking continuously. This commotion also began to pose a sufficiently large threat, because the savages had thought the interval between these attacks was very long, but now, why was it so frequent? It couldn't help but make everyone stop in their tracks.

The Tribal Chief also had everyone stop first: "Stop first, everyone stare at the sky. Once you see the stick falling, dodge first. After it rings, we'll move again. It takes them time to throw one."

The savages stroked their pounding hearts, then one by one stared at the sky, waiting quietly for the appearance of the long stick. This way, they also felt they had a greater chance of being able to dodge.

But the Huaxia people were a bit confused—why had the savages stopped moving?

"It's not right. They are all looking at the sky, waiting for us to shoot. If we don't shoot, they don't move. Perhaps they want to wait until the Bomb explodes, wait for that time difference, and then act." Hun, who had ample experience, made a judgment.

Ce now also felt that he should listen to what Hun had to say: "Then Regimental Commander Hun, what do you think we should do?"

"Simple. We just wear them down. If they don't move, we don't move. Let's see who can outlast whom. We just need to waste their time. They will definitely get anxious first; we'll talk about it then. Don't waste the Bombs."

The Soldiers were deeply convinced. Then, two of the Strong Crossbows slowly loosened their bowstrings; if they kept them pulled like that, it wasn't good for the Crossbows, but they still kept one ready at all times.

The savages watched for a long time, until their necks were sore, but they didn't see any movement: "Tribal Chief, they aren't throwing. What do we do? Are we still waiting?"

"Let the Soldiers over there walk forward first. We'll continue to wait and see. They will definitely throw again. As soon as they throw over there, we'll move forward here." The Tribal Chief shouted to everyone. He wasn't afraid of the other side hearing him at all, because there shouldn't be anyone in this place who could understand their Wulenge Tribe's language. They had never dealt with any cannibal tribe before; such a tribe definitely had to be wiped out by everyone together.

"They moved, they moved!" The Soldier quickly turned the Strong Crossbow and aimed. Without waiting for Ce to give the order, the Explosive Pack had already been ignited. This time, the timing was controlled even more precisely. By the time the savages saw something flying over their heads and shouted a warning, it had already exploded above their heads.

Although it wasn't as grand as exploding on the ground, which could blast a crater into the earth, exploding from above meant the damage radius was even larger, and the damage was even greater.

"Move fast, run!" The Tribal Chief called for the Soldiers on his side to move fast, and the side that had suffered the attack didn't stop either.

"Quick, quick, we've fallen for their trap. Continue the attack, don't stop now. How are these people even more cunning than wolves?" Ce felt a bit anxious at the sight.

Hun hurriedly added: "Have the three Crossbows fire in rotation to reduce the interval time, causing them greater panic. Give them no time to think. Don't worry about the direction; hit wherever there are many people!"

"Yes!"

The Soldiers responsible for operating the three Strong Crossbows immediately obeyed the order and, according to their positions—front, middle, and rear—began to attack in rotation. The interval between arrows would not exceed one minute, enough to create the illusion of a very dense attack.

And the suddenly fierce attack truly made the savages of the Wulenge Tribe feel panic. Why was it suddenly so fierce? They didn't even have time to look at the sky; they only heard noises everywhere, and they could only try their best to run to the left and right.

But this method of dodging actually worked. The open space made the Huaxia attack somewhat ineffective, because there were few people where the bombs landed, and there were even air bursts that only split the battlefield but caused no damage.

"Regimental Commander Hun, they've scattered even more. We can't hit them, and they've started to charge up. What do we do?" Ce was a bit nervous; sweat was starting to break out on his head and hands.

"Don't be afraid. Now have the others get ready: throw Spears, Bows and Crossbows, and also, light the Explosive Packs and roll them down. The slope here is alright, steep enough. If you roll them, they can roll down, and the chance of them going out is not high."
