The longer the battle was fought, the greater the advantage over Hong Tang, which was a result that the Ryker tribesmen did not expect.

Because they underestimate the convenience of tool advancements and the subtle benefits of material preparation.

When the battle entered the afternoon, the rain of arrows of the natives had become sparse, and drawing a bow and shooting arrows was no better than loading gunpowder, which required physical strength and arm strength, and at noon, the arms of the natives began to be sore, and they no longer had the strength to draw the bow.

Yamamoto and the others obviously noticed the changes in the mountain as well, and their offensive was gradually increasing, while the team was slowly pressing upwards to strive for further progress.

Unlike Yamamoto's predictions, the reason why the natives had sparse bows and arrows was that they rotated in order to regain their arm strength and prepare for hand-to-hand combat with Hongtang.

The stalemate could not last, although the Hongtang musket team had been prepared, but the power of this arquebus burst out still exceeded Barry and Patton's imagination, just for most of the day's long-distance shooting, the natives had already lost five or six hundred people here.

"Stop shooting, and find out that you are hiding here with ten hunters, and the rest of you will follow me to retreat up the mountain!" Lake. Barry looked at the few bows and arrows that everyone had left, beckoned a short, lean warrior to him, and commanded him.

Later, the dwarf warrior called Fierce Cha shuttled through the woods, conveying orders. While Barry retreated to the mountains with a large group of men, a group of rabbit spirits of nearly 500 or so people quietly hid in the land that was under fire and bullets.

Someone smeared himself with the blood of his tribesmen and disguised himself as a corpse; Others piled up the corpses of several clansmen and pressed themselves underneath; Others simply covered themselves with some broken branches and rotten leaves, leaving only two nostrils and eyes looming between the cracks of the branches.

Yamamoto fifty-six and they soon discovered the movement on the mountain, as the other party retreated to the mountain, the frequency of bow and arrow shooting was lower, and Yamamoto and the others, who had this opportunity, did not need to say much, and they all advanced upwards while maintaining the basic formation.

It wasn't until they reached the position where the natives were that Yamamoto stopped.

It's not that he noticed anything wrong, but that as a qualified soldier's cautious attitude, Yamamoto decided to clean up this battlefield first, so as not to be calculated by the other party.

However, even though he was already cautious, he still did not expect that this native would have the courage to ambush his men in this land and engage them in a fierce battle.

According to Yamamoto's instructions, the Hongtang team members carefully sorted out the corpses of the natives lying all over the battlefield, but they never thought that the natives who had been in their memories would also play tricks, and one by one the murderous natives either jumped out of the corpses or crawled out of the ground, and hundreds of people caught the Hongtang team members off guard.

When Hongtang's team was in chaos, the natives who had withdrawn from the mountain were also killed at the same time, and another condescending impact almost broke through Hongtang's team on the spot.

The disadvantages of the arquebus are undoubtedly revealed at this moment, relying on tactical cooperation such as three-stage shooting before, so that their shortcomings in close combat are well concealed, but now the opponent suddenly kills in front of him, although the muzzle of Hongtang's arquebus is also equipped with a bayonet, but it is indeed a bit clumsy to rely on this lethality to deal with the natives.

Fortunately, there are still hundreds of Hongtang soldiers who are equipped with melee equipment, and the musketeers have practiced more than three people in addition to shooting for more than a year, so they can barely maintain.

"Throw grenades! Throw a grenade! ”

The situation was already a bit serious, and the number of natives killed in front of them at this time was only a rough estimate of the number of people they attacked by Yamamoto. Everyone is being suppressed by each other's layers and can't help but retreat.

On the mountain, there is still a steady stream of natives charging towards them, and the long-range attack of the musket team has no stage to perform, although there are still seven or eight hundred people at the bottom of the mountain, it will take at least half a pillar of incense to climb up.

Under the mutual cover of the team members, the grenades with the smell of gunpowder were thrown to the rear of the fierce battle position by the team members, and with the roar, the opponent's rear formation received a lot of blows. At the same time, the reinforcements that the natives followed up were also suddenly cut off, taking advantage of this gap, the Hongtang melee members exerted their strength one after another, covering the withdrawal of the Hongtang musket team members, and they were in front.

With the cover of the melee fighters, another batch of grenades was thrown, blocking the approach of the natives in the follow-up, and finally giving time to the more than 200 musketeers who had withdrawn. The musketeers who reorganized their formation while reloading their ammunition rang out again as their muskets rang out again, covering the withdrawal of the wingers who were struggling to support them in front.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Yamamoto finally suppressed the natives' offensive and gave his team a chance to regroup, while organizing people to cover the shooting of the musketeers in the rear, Yamamoto gave instructions to the team members around him, and led them to slowly withdraw towards the musketeers behind him.

When Lu Yu under the mountain caught up with people, the fierce offensive of the other party was finally contained, and with the addition of the new force, Yamamoto's formation of losing and retreating was finally stabilized.

The aborigines who attacked the mountain gradually decreased, and the two sides launched a fierce battle on the mountainside, and at this time, Lu Lu found out in a blink of an eye that the natives on the opposite side were far more than they imagined, but now the natives who were fighting fiercely, not to mention two thousand people, if you count the number of people they were killed and wounded, it would be even bigger than the Hongtang team they went out this time!

At the same time as he was terrified, Lu Yi was angry from the side of his guts, his sleeves were flicked, and the long knife on his waist was lifted by him, which frightened the surrounding guards to think that he was going to go into battle in person, and hurriedly turned around and hugged him.

"Get out of the way!" kicked the guards away, and Lu Yu shouted with a loud voice: "Brothers, it's good for me, if anyone gives me the head of this indigenous group, I will give him a great credit, and I will personally reward him with one hundred taels of silver!" ”

It was also because he was annoyed and angry, Lu Lu actually paid out of his own pocket to promise a reward, which suddenly aroused the passion of the whole team members to fight, and they waved the swords in their hands even harder.

Today is the third watch, everyone is happy!
