Chapter 1464: Going into Battle

~7 min read 1,284 words

Now all the men and women were ready, and those savages were also advancing, dispersed in several directions. They had basically seen clearly the personnel configuration of Huaxia, and seeing that even women and children had come, they were all incredibly excited, because this meant that there were not many men left in the entire Huaxia who could fight. As for those things that could explode, they didn't look so terrifying now; as long as they charged up, they would have completely taken this place.

Bombs were still being thrown out continuously, but the effect was becoming less and less obvious. Hun promptly ordered: "Light the Explosive Packs and throw them down, roll them down!"

There were plenty of bombs, and as long as the Explosive Pack was stood upright, it could be rolled down directly; there was no fear of it getting stuck, only that the timing of the explosion might not be accurately grasped.

The women were also a bit afraid that this thing would explode in their hands, so after lighting it, they threw it down immediately. A Soldier shouted anxiously: "Don't be in a hurry to throw, wait for it to burn a moment before throwing!"

Seeing things like stones rolling down, the savages subconsciously dodged, but they didn't feel that these things could cause such terrible damage; what they feared was that kind of stick.

However, after hearing louder and more numerous explosions behind them, they were still taken aback, feeling that this stone-like thing could probably explode too, so they dodged even faster when they saw them. It was just that those that rolled down mostly exploded behind them, so there was no need to fear.

But after the women started waiting for them to burn a moment before throwing, the savages didn't have time to dodge. At this moment, a very dense and massive number of bombs rolled down the hillside, which really made them start to fear, and it also caused enough casualties; no matter where they dodged, they might encounter one.

And the savages who wanted to charge up quickly encountered the precise strikes of thrown Spears and Bow and Crossbows; this kind of long-range attack method, which they were most familiar with, was also what they feared most.

Soon the savages' forward pace was hindered, and a situation of retreating appeared. In a distance of less than a hundred meters, they just felt they couldn't charge up, and those women also caused them very great pressure.

The Tribal Chief was still shouting: "Charge now! Don't be afraid, charge up!"

After a brief hesitation, the savages began their fiercest charge. The women threw the bombs faster; to save time, they directly pinched the Fuse short with their fingernails, just to throw them out as quickly as possible.

The Crossbowmen were shooting continuously, but after the bomb attacks, there were still nearly half of the people on the opposite side who had not lost their combat effectiveness, which made them feel great pressure.

The last few dozen meters of the defensive line were also about to be breached, and the women began to be afraid, and their hands started to shake.

Hun and the others no longer waited, pressing their hands on Ce's shoulders: "Regimental Commander Ce, you command here, I am going up to fight and hold them off, it is time for hand-to-hand combat now."

Ce had a resolute face: "I want to go too, I have a Knife too!"

"No, you must command here, you cannot let this place fall into chaos, if it falls into chaos here, there will be no way, understand?"

Ce listened to the words; he also knew that now was not the time for him to show off, so he stopped arguing. They felt they had misjudged, judging their own abilities too high and the enemy's strength too low; their numbers were still too few, and the power of the bombs was not enough to make up for the overly large gap.

"As long as you find the right opportunity, bomb the places where there are many people, we will try our best to force them into dense groups, you must not miss! Also, hurry and ask for reinforcements!"

Hun gave the final requirements, then walked away without looking back. Wuzhong patted his own chest: "Ce, you hold the line, I'm going up too."

"No, what are you going for?" Ce hurriedly grabbed Wuzhong.

"Why can't I go up? Even the women have gone up. Don't forget who my father is, how my surname came to be. You few, just manage your own work, I should be on the battlefield now."

Ce had nothing to say, but the other two could not be let go; one was a farmhand who had to assist him here, and the other was a doctor who also had to ensure his own safety first, as saving people would be a troublesome matter after the battle ended.

The Cavalry were already prepared, fully armored, holding Changdaos. Facing these enemies in front of them, they were under no pressure and could guarantee to kill a round trip while alive before the cattle and their own stamina were exhausted.

"Soldiers, what we need to do now is to drive them together as much as possible and surround them, so that our bombs can play a role, understand?"

A group of Iron Cavalry raised their Changdaos: "Understood!"

Hun pointed his hand downward: "Surround and attack, advance!"

A group of Cavalry immediately patted their cattle and then charged toward their respective chosen directions. Although there were not many people in each direction, their deterrent power was great enough that they could kill and pursue until all the enemies were gathered together.

Hun rode the last ox and commanded the people above: "Now the women withdraw, male Soldiers, come over and fill in, don't let them charge up, understand?!"

"Understood!" All the women retreated one after another, and the children were also driven back. The men held Spears and guarded actively, but the women did not leave just like that; instead, they picked up Crossbows and thrown Spears, and would carry out throwing attacks in various gaps.

Crossbows did not require much strength or skill, and women could all use them; it was just that they hadn't undergone training and lacked that accuracy, but they could still pose a threat to the enemy.

Having finished the arrangements, Hun also patted his ox and charged down while holding a Changdao.

At this time, the Wulengge Tribe actually suffered heavy casualties. The Tribal Chief looked at the fallen tribesmen everywhere, feeling both angry and afraid in his heart. He did not expect that attacking such a small tribe would actually cause such heavy casualties. This battle, it seemed now, was a bit of a loss.

But things had reached this point, could he retreat? Impossible!

No matter what, he could not retreat. If he retreated at this time, wouldn't his tribesmen have died in vain? Now he must charge even harder, charge up, kill all these cannibal tribes, and loot their wealth clean; only then could he make up for his losses, and their kind of strange Weapon had huge power.

If it weren't for his proper command and sufficient dispersion, they would definitely have suffered more than just this little damage now. Even if they stood, excluding those allied tribes, his original tribe would have to drop a level. Bosa was also dead; if he couldn't get enough benefits from this cannibal tribe, then his tribe would probably find it difficult to recover for more than ten years. In that terrible natural disaster, they hadn't suffered such heavy trauma.
