The company commander kept staring at the bottom and found that the Dangxiang people were blown around by hot air balloons, and did not release the hawks and falcons again. He guessed that all the hawks and falcons of the Dangxiang people should have been blown to death.

He waved his hand from behind: "Call me!"

In the mountain nest behind him, a bodyguard smashed the trigger, and three grenades flew out of the portable catapult car, and landed at the south end of the transportation team.

The ambush point chosen by the Musketeers was also in a valley, which was not wide at all. The three grenades directly blocked the official road at the south end of the transport team.

This ambush point was repeatedly studied and selected by the scouts of the escort agency. Although the peaks on both sides are not high, they are not conducive to camouflage and lurking, the rocks are steep and slippery, and the war horses cannot climb at all.

Several portable catapults are thrown in turn, which can ensure the minimum ammunition consumption and continue to block the valley for a long time!

The north end was blocked by hot air balloons, the south end was blocked by grenades, and the Dangxiang transportation team was blocked on the mountain road about five miles long.

In fact, the Dangxiang Cavalry, who was in charge of the escort and transport team, also sent scouts to explore the way in advance, but the hills on both sides were too short and you could see the top at a glance.

Moreover, the stones on the hill are all large, so it is difficult for the corpses to pretend to lurk. Even if there are one or two spies lurking, it is nothing to the huge transportation team. At most, find out where the transportation team has gone.

Such a large-scale operation of the transport team cannot be hidden, so the person in charge of the transport team doesn’t care much about the spies. If you want to keep an eye on it, just don’t make trouble.

The leader thought this way, and the scout became much more negative when working. In addition, the transport team was walking too slowly, and the scout explored the way two or three miles in advance and could rest for a long time before the transport team's large troops would catch up slowly.

Compared with the scouts under Monkey, the scouts of Dangxiang were full of loopholes, and the musket company easily found loopholes and blocked them in the valley.

The rear road was blocked and the front road was blocked, and the Dangxiang cavalry, who were in charge of the escort, suddenly became anxious.

To the north are hot air balloons flying in the sky, and they couldn't reach them even if they wanted to fight. They found that there were catapults in the south, and they rushed over, jumped off their horses and rushed to the hillside, trying to kill the catapults and break out from the south.

The company commander kept staring at the bottom. After discovering the intention of the Dangxiang people, he turned his head and shouted: "Roll the No. 2 arrow!"

Behind him, the instructor immediately raised his crossbow and fired a purple arrow.

"Brothers, fight with me!"

The company commander took the lead in rushing out of the hiding mountain nest.

The attack route of the catapult car is parabolic, which can attack enemies a hundred meters away, but cannot attack the foot of the mountain.

The escort must block the enemy at the foot of the mountain, otherwise the enemy will easily destroy their positions once they rush over.

Except for a few corpses hiding in the corner who were still lying on the ground with guns in their arms, everyone else rushed out with the company commander, lay down to the top of the mountain, and shot at the Dangxiang people who were climbing the mountain to stop their attack!

As for those who were lying and not moving, they were all the best gunshots in the musket company. Their mission was not to kill the enemy, but if the Dangxiang people suddenly released the hawk, they would kill them as soon as possible!

The company commander did this to be on the safe side. After all, there are enemies under the hillside now, so they almost don’t need to aim. There is no difference between good or bad marksmanship.

It was a battle of life and death, and neither side had any mercy. For a moment, dense gunshots echoed in the valley, and one Dangxiang people were hit and rolled down the hillside.

But the number of Dangxiang Guards was too large. One rolled down and two rushed up immediately!

And they gathered the shields together and walked forward with the shields.

At this time, the shortcomings of the musket were exposed.

Although the range of killing is large, the lethality is seriously insufficient. Fine iron sand can penetrate the human body, but it is not enough to see a thick shield.

In desperation, the company commander could only take the corps officer down to throw grenades and turbulent oil altars.

But they lurked over, with limited grenades and turbulent oil altars, most of which were taken away by the pilots, and the rest had to be kept for the catapults to block the valley. The company commander and others dared not use too much. They would throw one or two of them when they saw a critical situation in a certain place.

However, grenades can kill and injure Dangxiang soldiers, but it is difficult to destroy the strong shield.

The Dangxiang soldier who was killed and injured by the bomb fell down, and the people next to him would pick up the shield and continue moving forward.

What made the musket company commander even more nervous was that he had seen Dangxiang soldiers in the valley more than 100 meters away had unloaded the catapult car assembly from the back of the cow and began to assemble it on the open space.

Although this catapult is relatively backward and heavy, its range is far beyond the portable catapults used by the Musketeers now.

Once it is assembled, the mountain nest will not be preserved!

The company commander was about to order the suicide squad to kill the enemy's catapult when he heard the roar of steam engines faintly from the north.

Accompanied by the roar, an airship slowly took off.

"Hahaha, they finally got it done!"

Seeing the airship, the company captain's excited eyebrows raised.

Because they lurked in, they could only disassemble the components of the airship, take part of them one by one, and then assemble them here.

Assembling an airship is not as simple as assembling a musket. The musket is broken and only has that little piece of component.

But assembling airships is much more troublesome.

Not to mention the balloons that need to be filled with special gases and have high requirements for sealing. The parts of the steam engine can fill a table, and the precision requirements are also high, which ordinary bodyguards cannot complete at all.

Fortunately, before departure, Dazhuang arranged a pilot for the company commander. It is said that he was one of the disciples in Mancang and participated in the research and development and manufacturing projects of the steam engine throughout the process.

The arrow was fired so long ago, and the escort killed dozens of Dangxiang soldiers. Before the airship was launched, the company commander thought the installation had failed.

After all, there are too many parts in the steam engine, and many parts are very small, lurking all the way. If anyone accidentally loses one or two parts, the steam engine may not be able to operate.

Fortunately, the pilot did not disappoint him, so he assembled the airship in the end.

Considering the portability, this airship is specially made, smaller than a conventional airship, but it is more flexible and has greatly improved its flight speed.

Just a few minutes after it was launched, it passed the hot air balloon and arrived over the transport team.

However, the airship did not bomb the cattle, horses and grooms carrying supplies, but flew straight towards the southern section where the battle was most intense.

When passing the assembled catapult, the airship finally threw two grenades down!

The Dangxiang people were about to assemble the catapult cart and were blown up!

Then, the airship turned flexibly in the air and flew towards the battle hillside!
Chapter completed!
