Chapter 798 Brothers

Gongsunfang did not sit back and wait for the battle to end.

In fact, she has always been the sharpest spearhead of this team. The moment she joined the battle, the government army that was still able to compete was immediately rushed to pieces.

She was seen waving a blunt flagpole and moving freely among the crowd.

The enemies she swept down either knelt down on the spot and were unable to move, or were knocked down the hillside and turned into a ball of flesh.

"Yes, it's the one who senses Qi!"

"Damn it, aren't they supposed to be a bunch of country folk?"

"Fire the crossbow and shoot her to death!" someone in the enemy army shouted.

"But the distance is too close. All around are my brothers——"

"Let it go as I say, do you understand?"

At the command of the general, several people had to take out their repeating crossbows and aim them in the direction of Gongsun Fang.

Gong Shujin poked his head out from behind another rock and threw two bamboo tubes towards the crossbowmen who were preparing to shoot. The moment the bamboo tubes landed, the fire talisman took effect immediately, igniting the gunpowder filled in the tubes. Only two loud roars were heard, and the gray-black smoke exploded quickly, swallowing up the enemy's crossbowmen in the blink of an eye!

This kind of simple machine mine can be regarded as a weapon made by Gongshu disciples, and it is not a problem for Gongshu Jin. The smoke and explosion are just to deter the enemy. Its lethality comes from the small iron pieces inlaid on the outside of the bamboo tube. . . Of course, if iron tools are not available, stones can also have the same effect.

Gongsun Fang winked and smiled at his position, and then continued to devote himself to the battle.

Gong Shujin also raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

He originally thought that the only thing he loved in life was the art of mechanism, but this short half-month journey gave him a completely different feeling.

If the family's machine skills can only be used by executioners, he would rather contribute what he has learned to those who stand up to resist.

In some respects at least, these rebels were far more human than magnates and privy magistrates.

And Gongsun Fang is the outstanding person among them.

Although she came from an ordinary background, knew very little about mechanism arts, and her manners and conversation were not as good as those of ladies who had received specialized education, she had many things that other women from aristocratic families did not possess.

That kind of clear-cut love and hate, informal character, and the will to fight against the strong for the sake of the weak, all attracted Gong Shujin unknowingly.

His mechanism skills should also be an aid to such people.

The resistance of more than 200 government troops who were lucky enough to escape the mudslide became increasingly fierce, and the two sides started a life-and-death struggle around the small piece of land in front of the cave. The other party knew very well that if they could not stop the rebels' attack, everyone would be pushed down the hillside, and the retreat road would have been swallowed up by mudslides, so the retreat would definitely be a narrow escape.

However, with the arrival of reinforcements from various ambush squads, the power gap between the two sides became more and more obvious - although the government troops were well-trained and well-equipped, they could not withstand the attacks of troops ten times their own. What's more, the rebels are not in a hurry to take over this open space. They also hold long-range weapons such as air rifles in their hands. When the main force fights head-on, a burst of cold bullets will often be fired from the side, catching the government troops off guard. Although the latter also has repeating crossbows to counter them, as long as the air rifle team dodges behind a tree after pouring bullets, the crossbow arrows will no longer pose any threat.

Gongsun Fang also fought with an enemy dressed as a general.

The latter is also a person who senses Qi. He is good at Genshu and has strong strength. He can swing the two copper hammers with great force.

Gongsun Fang was unable to suppress this person for a while.

I'm afraid that the opponent is probably the alchemist sent by the Privy Council to take over Huiyang City, and he has a hundred swords.

In the Xu Kingdom, alchemists with a hundred blades would only bow their heads and salute when they saw the disciple of the Gongshu family, but here, Gongshu Jin really didn't have any good way to deal with him. Genshu is good at defense and pays attention to both offense and defense. It is difficult for air rifles and bamboo tube thunder to cause fatal injuries to this person. Fortunately, the opponent's level is not high, so Gongsun Fang cannot be easily eliminated. As long as more teams come to help, he will be exhausted sooner or later.

At this moment, Gong Shujin heard a slight whooshing sound behind him.

Originally, such a small voice was easily ignored on the battlefield, but firstly, as a Qi sensor, his five senses were already more sensitive than ordinary people, and secondly, this voice was so familiar to the mechanic that he did not miss it. Uncoordinated noise.

It was the trembling sound of a bowstring breaking free from its restraints.

Behind them was the entrance to Cricket Cave, so there should be no reinforcements coming.

Gong Shujin fell down almost subconsciously, and at the same time, he grabbed the soldier who was away from him.

The next second, crossbow arrows rained down on their hiding place!

Several soldiers were immediately tied into a sieve and fell to the ground without saying a word.

"Be careful, there are enemies behind you!"

Gongshu Jin took a deep breath before shouting this warning.

The formation of the resistance army suddenly showed a moment of chaos.

At this moment, people noticed that an enemy army had appeared in front of the cave at some point. They were not many in number, only about fifty people, but they were in a position where they could overlook the entire battlefield. And the opponent definitely didn't sneak past, because they even built simple earth walls in some key locations to further strengthen their terrain advantage!

This means that the enemy has been around to the rear for at least a quarter of an hour!

"Well done, Brother Wu!"

The general fighting in front took the opportunity to lift the flagpole from Gongsunfang's hand, hit her chest with his heavy shoulder, and knocked her straight away.

Gongsun Fang coughed and took ten steps back before she could stabilize herself. Without taking a breath, she turned back and shouted in the direction of Gongshu Jin, "The situation has changed, quickly execute the backup plan!"

"Hurry up and kill her, Wudi, can't you even deal with a woman?" A gray-clothed man in the back said coldly.

"I'm trying!" The general muttered and raised the copper hammer to kill Gongsun Fang again.

Gongshu Jin's heart sank immediately. Wu Bairen was actually a pair of brothers?

Although he didn't see how the enemy occupied the entrance of the cave, this matter was undoubtedly related to alchemy. If Wu Bairen was actually two alchemists, the rebels would be in trouble.

The backup plan mentioned by Gongsun Fang was that if the cave failed, several passages inside would be blown up to cut off the connection between the west slope and the east slope of Huangting Mountain, so as to prevent the enemy from using the internal shortcut to threaten the evacuating refugee group.

But this was also the rebels' retreat.

Once the passage was blown up, even if they won, they could only rely on crossing mountains and ridges to reach a new foothold. Not only would their speed of movement be greatly slowed down, but they would also be easily followed by the enemy reinforcements.

This order was not easy to issue.

Even the leader's confidants showed hesitation.

"Do as I say! The cave cannot be handed over to them!" Gongsun Fang urged again.

Gongshu Jin gritted his teeth and was the first to bend down and rush to the detonator.

He saw from the corner of his eye that the enemy army behind him also aimed their crossbows at him.

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out of the cave, whizzed through the crowd of government troops, instantly cutting off several people in the middle, and at the same time raised a hazy blood mist!

After the black shadow landed, Gongshu Jin realized that it was actually a crossbow arrow specially used for the bed crossbow!

The problem was that the people in the cricket cave had already evacuated, and the bed crossbow was extremely difficult to move and fire. Who fired this shot?

The government troops were also in an uproar!

They turned around in panic and pointed their weapons at the deep cave entrance.

And in the darkness, a two-legged mechanical beast slowly appeared.
