I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 88: Big Mix-up (Part )
Five Nuclear Bombs is a fan of volley shooting. Whether it is Napoleon or Total War, as long as there is a game with volley shooting content, or a MOD that can add volley shooting content, he will play it.

It’s just that playing single-player games for a long time can easily make people enter a state of electronic impotence, and the same is true for five nuclear bombs.

So, when he learned that there was a niche online game that actually had volley shooting content, he happily ran to sign up.

Now, when Five Nuclear Bombs followed Xiaodao into the secondary fort of Bolas Fortress and received a mission requiring him to occupy and defend the other end of the stone bridge until he led his men to clear the secondary fort, Five Nuclear Bombs knew that it was time for him to show his skills.

Sure enough, when he and the other four players rushed to the end of the city gate, several shadowy figures were already running over from the opposite side of the stone bridge. They were holding halberds and long swords and were rushing towards the secondary fort in unison.

"shot!"

Five nuclear bombs shouted, and he raised his light flintlock rifle and fired a shot, hitting the steel shield in front of the leading sword and shield man. Sparks flew and a bullet hole appeared on it.

"what!"

The person who was shot screamed, but did not stop. Instead, he continued to run forward.

“Didn’t penetrate!?”

The five nuclear bombs' eyes widened.

At this time, the other four players following the five nuclear bombs also opened fire. Two of them were equipped with heavy flintlock rifles with a caliber of 18 mm. The penetrating power of the lead bullets they fired was much stronger than that of the light flintlock rifles of the five nuclear bombs.

The four of them just fired a scattershot shot, and two of the Minisians who were trying to rush across the stone bridge fell forward on the spot, including the swordsman and shieldman who was hit by five nuclear bombs.

The sudden fire attack frightened the enemies who were trying to seize the bridge, and they subconsciously stopped beside the two corpses.

However, this pause was only temporary, because soon an officer behind them shouted loudly.

"Charge forward! The muskets can only fire one round. Don't give them time to reload!"

The frightened Minisians suddenly came to their senses and continued to rush forward screaming.

Of course, the five nuclear bombs also knew that the flintlock rifles in their hands could only be fired once, and it would take at least fifteen seconds to reload.

During this period of time, it was enough for the enemies wielding hook and sickle spears on the stone bridge to rush over and hack him to death three times.

So, after firing the shot, he took the initiative to hold the flintlock rifle with a bayonet, strode forward, and walked towards the stone bridge, ready to fill the line.

Seeing this, another player also threw the paper bullet in his hand to the ground, pulled out the 65-centimeter-long triangular bayonet from his waist, inserted it into the bayonet socket on the barrel, and quickly followed the five nuclear bombs.

A Minissian brandishing a hook-and-sickle spear ran from the stone bridge. Wearing leather armor, he howled and took the lead in attacking the five nuclear bombs.

The hook-and-sickle spear is 2.5 meters long, while the light flintlock rifles in the hands of the five nuclear bombers are 1.3 meters long. Even with a bayonet nearly 70 centimeters long, it is only 1.8 meters long, which is a huge gap compared to the hook-and-sickle spear.

Therefore, the hook-and-sickle spearmen with longer weapons launched the attack first, and the spear heads that flashed with cold light and curved like the moon stabbed towards the chests of the five nuclear bombs.

The five nuclear bombs who had learned bayonet skills in real life responded calmly. Not only did he not retreat, he took the initiative to step forward with his hands.

At the same time, he swung the flintlock and used the bayonet to try to block the lance's thrust. The metal collision made a crisp sound and sparks flew.

The charge of five nuclear bombs caught the scythe gunner off guard, and the weapon in his hand was disrupted before he could fully exert its power.

However, thanks to the heavy tip of the spear, even though his thrust was deflected, it still stabbed into the enemy's chest, only the landing point was slightly changed. It was this slight change that led to the completely opposite result. Originally, even if the attack would not kill him, it would have knocked the player back. But now, the five nuclear bombs took the initiative to lunge forward and thrust sideways, allowing the sickle spear to pierce his chest at an angle.

The sharp hook-shaped spear head first cut through his linen cloak and then pierced the high-manganese steel breastplate underneath.

Amid the harsh sound of steel rubbing against each other, the hook-and-sickle gunner's already incomplete thrust was deflected by the breastplates of the five nuclear bombs and slid past his right shoulder.

The five nuclear bombs took the opportunity to rush forward along the gun barrel, closing the distance, and thrust the flintlock rifles in their hands forward with force, just piercing the enemy's chest.

The leather armor that could withstand arrows and sword strikes was only slightly stronger than a piece of white paper in front of the sharp edge of the triangular spear, and it was penetrated with a single stab.

Feeling the touch from the gun handle, the five nuclear bombs subconsciously turned their wrists, and at the same time, their left hands, which were holding the butt of the gun, exerted force to the left, throwing the gunman hanging on the bayonet to the side.

The second spearman behind saw this scene. He learned his lesson and did not rush to stab the five nuclear bombs with the hooked spear. Instead, he turned the gun body and tried to hook the barrels of the five nuclear bombs with the hooked spear.

The response to the five nuclear bombs remains the same... charge.

Relying on the protection of his armor and his fearless spirit, he quickly closed the distance and then stabbed the enemy to death with his bayonet.

The tactics are simple and crude, but very effective. The brave will win when two meet in a narrow road.

Unfortunately, just when the five nuclear bombs were about to kill the second spearman, a sword and shield soldier stood up from the side, first blocked the spear with his shield, and then slashed at him twice with his sword.

One sword struck the air, and the other sword landed on his head with a clang, leaving a sword mark, forcing the five nuclear bombs to take two steps back.

Not only that, the swordsman also tried to move forward and cooperate with the spearman to cut the necks of the five nuclear bombs. Fortunately, at this time, the second player following the latter rushed over and forced the swordsman back with a spear.

The five nuclear bombs and another person cooperated and covered each other, and finally gained a foothold at the bridgehead of the stone bridge. They temporarily stopped the enemy in this narrow passage that could only accommodate one carriage.

Before the five nuclear bombs could feel proud for a moment, the sound of bowstrings whizzing through the air came from the second floor of the main castle opposite, and then two crisp "ding" sounds of arrows hitting steel appeared above his head.

The five nuclear bombs looked up and saw that there were two archers shooting arrows at the stone bridge from the window on the second floor of the fortress. Just two arrows hit his helmet.

Fortunately, the helmet was very strong and the two arrows failed to penetrate the protection.

At this time, the other two players hiding behind finally loaded their ammunition. One of them half-crouched down and pointed his gun at the second floor.

After a bang of a gunshot, one of the archers who was shooting with a bow fell down immediately, hitting the ground with a thud like a bag of flour.

The fourth player will extend from the side of the five nuclear bombs and fire at the hook-and-scythe spearman hiding behind the sword and shield man.

Even though the barrel of the flintlock rifle had no rifling, the player was still able to accurately shoot the lead bullet at the head of the musket shooter at a distance of only three or four meters. The helmet made of cast iron was completely unable to prevent the bullet from penetrating.

In just a moment, red and white liquid flowed out from the top of his head. The spearman shook twice and then lay on the ground.

After three people died in succession, the remaining people panicked. They did not dare to continue attacking the secondary castle, but walked backwards and retreated to the main castle before the two players finished reloading the second round.

Their retreat made the five nuclear bombs breathe a sigh of relief. They quickly called on their three companions to retreat back to the city gate and not stay outside and be shot by the archers on the main castle.
