I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 83 Big mess ()
Are there other players trying to take advantage of the situation?!

This was Xiaodao's first reaction when he saw the figure suddenly appear across the dirt road, but he quickly reacted.

No, there are not many players in the internal test now, only about 500 people. We all know each other every day. Even if we have never dealt with each other before, no one would do such a thankless task.

The action is open, and Xiaodao is not just calling on players from Shanhu to come. In fact, he will accept anyone from other regiments as long as they are willing to follow and obey his orders.

There are tasks for everyone to do, and you can gain reputation and activity merit points together. What is there to grab?
Therefore, Xiaodao’s second reaction was that there were uninvited guests... These guys were the Restoration Army, and they were competitors who came to compete with the players for Bolas Fortress!

"Shoot, shoot, kill them!"

Xiaodao ordered sternly, and he was the first to swing the flintlock rifle he was carrying from his back into his hand, pointing it at the figure across the street, pulling the trigger, and the gun went off.

A person who was still looking at this side stupidly fell down immediately.

Gunshots rang out, and the players following Xiaodao and the nearly identical number of Restoration Army soldiers on the opposite side also woke up. Both sides responded and launched long-range attacks.

The players are all using flintlock rifles, while the enemies on the opposite side are exchanging hand crossbows, lead bullets and crossbow bolts.

After a round of gunfire, among the thirteen people on Xiaodao's side, only an unarmored assistant shooter was unlucky enough to be hit by an arrow, while nearly half of the dozen people across the street lay down on the spot, and the rest of them also ran away in panic, looking for cover.

After firing the gun, Xiaodao neither reloaded the flintlock nor picked up his newly bought eight-sided Han sword to kill them.

Compared to the guy who showed up out of nowhere, he knew better what was important and what was secondary.

The drawbridge is the most important thing. Only by taking the drawbridge can we hope to capture Bolas Fortress. Now that gunshots have been heard, as long as the guards inside are not deaf, they will definitely react.

"Ignore these idiots, follow me and take the drawbridge first!"

Xiaodao waved the Han sword, pointing it straight at the suspension bridge a hundred meters away, and growled in a deep voice, asking the players behind him to rush forward instead of running across the street.

With Xiaodaozha's efforts, the twelve players, including the unlucky guy who was shot by an arrow, ran towards the suspension bridge with all their might.

At the same time, behind the drawbridge, Carrot, standing next to the two corpses, was looking towards the secondary fort with a frown.

He did not see the scene of Xiaodao and others shooting at the enemy just now, but Carrot could now hear the shouting of guards and the sound of heavy footsteps coming from the secondary fort.

The guards who were sleeping in the armory inside the fortress woke up. Even if they were sleeping soundly, the crackling noises outside were enough to wake them up.

"Trouble..."

Carrot muttered to himself. There were only four players without armor around him. Except for himself who had a crossbow in his hand, the others all had short weapons in their hands.

Xiaodao and the others have arrived now, but they are a hundred meters away. The thirteen of them are carrying heavy objects and cannot run fast. In addition, the environment is dim and the terrain is uneven. It will take them at least a minute to run over.

It's not easy to hold on for one minute.

Because two guards wearing plate armor and holding halberds had already rushed out of a guard room on the left side of the secondary fort passage. When they saw five dark figures standing by the drawbridge, they were frightened for a moment and hesitated to move forward.

Carrot did not miss this opportunity. He raised his crossbow, took aim, and shot the arrow accurately into the eye socket of a halberd soldier. The latter fell backwards without a sound.

When the second halberd soldier saw his companion being shot by an arrow, he immediately realized that the five dark figures were not monsters or ghosts, but enemies. He growled, raised his halberd and rushed forward.

Two players armed with daggers stepped forward to fight.

A weapon that is an inch longer is an inch stronger. Even if these two players are agile, they have no way to avoid the city gate that can only accommodate one carriage and can only fight hard.

A player charging forward used a dagger to block, but the halberd pierced his stomach, instantly draining his health bar. Fortunately, the empty health bar didn't mean the player would die immediately. In his final moments, he clutched the halberd shaft in his stomach, preventing the halberd soldier from pulling out the weapon.

The second player took the opportunity to rush over from the side, opened his arms and hugged the halberd soldier's waist. Using the kinetic energy brought by the charge and his own weight, he collided with the latter, causing him to fall backwards uncontrollably.

After knocking down the halberd soldier, the second player grabbed the weapon in the enemy's hand with one hand and pressed it down with force, while the dagger in the other hand quickly stabbed the part of the halberd soldier's body that was not covered by the plate armor.

Thighs, armpits, and neck.

After three or five hits, the halberd soldiers' hands and feet became limp... This is what they call an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous!

"Quick, pick up the halberd, the enemy is coming!"

Carrot raised his crossbow and fired a second shot, sending an arrow towards the third enemy with an armed sword that appeared at the end of the city gate.

The arrow was a little hasty and missed the target. It hit the enemy's chest covered with chain mail, but failed to penetrate the protection and got stuck on it.

Fortunately, the remaining three players acted quickly. Two of them picked up the halberds on the ground, rushed to the end of the city gate, and used long-handled weapons to force back the enemies behind them.

The third man deftly stripped the plate armor off the dead halberd soldier and prepared to put it on himself.

The situation was temporarily deadlocked, and Carrot relaxed a little, but he also looked towards the other side of the suspension bridge with dissatisfaction.

What's going on? It's been almost a minute, why haven't Xiaodao and the others run across the bridge yet?!

Xiaodao is in great pain now because he is in trouble and cannot get out of it for the time being.

Originally, he and his men were almost halfway through the run and would soon step onto the suspension bridge, but then he heard the sound of horse hooves behind them. He subconsciously looked back and immediately braked to a stop, pointing the eight-sided Han sword in his hand backwards.

"Tiger Crouching Cannon, fire backwards!!!"

Damn it, where did the cavalry come from!

Under the moonlight, several figures on horseback were galloping towards us at an extraordinary speed. The sabers in the hands of the cavalrymen behind their horses reflected a cold luster in the moonlight.

Xiaodao, who had rich combat experience, knew at a glance that the enemy's light cavalry was much faster than his heavy armored infantry. When he stepped onto the suspension bridge, they would rush onto it together.

If you don't want to be knocked down from behind by these light cavalry, you have to get rid of these cavalry first.

The twelve players who were running with Xiaodao stopped as quickly as possible. The players wearing armor and holding long swords took the initiative to step forward, lined up on the road, and blocked the artillery group behind them.

The gunner placed the tiger squat cannon on his shoulder on the ground, with the muzzle slightly pointing in the direction of the cavalry's attack. The deputy gunner didn't bother to light the fuse, but directly took out a match, struck a flame, and stuffed it into the gun hole.

"Pong!"

"Boom..."

When the Tiger Crouching Cannon exploded, Xiaodao also heard a dull explosion coming from far behind him. It was like a god using a sledgehammer to hit the earth, shaking the ground and the sky.

When the light cavalry were thrown to the ground by the hail of bullets from the Tiger Crouching Cannon, Xiaodao suddenly turned around and looked at the night sky behind the Polas Fortress where flames were rising into the sky.

"Fuck, whose arsenal was set on fire!!!"
