The night was peaceful, although the lights in the cottage opposite were bright, and he had been on guard, but he didn't think about the night battle.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wu Jie and his three teams began to get busy, the attacking team began to make climbing tools such as long ladders, the bow team and a small number of musket teams began to sort out the weapons and ammunition in their hands, and even the fireman team was lighting fireworks to make breakfast for everyone.

And Wu Jie's killer weapon, several Franc machine guns weighing hundreds of catties, under the rush of dozens of gunners, also aimed their muzzles at the indigenous cottage diagonally above.

The natives on the opposite side had obviously made up their minds to rely on their steep geographical advantage to defend, and looked coldly at the busy crowd below, waiting for them to attack.

Not long after the sun rose, as a firework exploded high in the sky, the three teams launched their first tentative attack from three directions at the same time.

Wu Jie's special operations battalion, the first dispatch was a platoon under him, seventy-two soldiers. The sturdy and powerful team members, holding a shield in one hand and dragging a long ladder in the other, climbed up the slope.

The slope is empty and smooth, and there is no cover terrain to use, so the feather arrows coming from the opposite cottage are even more powerful. Combined with the natives' always accurate archery, a member of the team who charged forward fell on the road without a thought.

But this did not make the team feel panicked or helpless, they still calmly held their shields, and approached the wall of the cottage opposite.

Seeing that the first platoon was about to approach the cottage wall, and there were still about fifty remaining team members at this time, Wu Jie began to prepare to send two more platoons to support the siege of the first platoon.

Things took a turn for the better at this moment, when a log more than three feet long and more than three feet in diameter was suddenly thrown from the wall from the indigenous cottage and smashed heavily on the ground in front of the wall.

With the attraction of gravity, the log rolled along the slope, slowly towards the direction of Wu Jie and them.

The first to bear the brunt of the attack, naturally dozens of siegers who were about to approach the wall of the cottage, at this time facing the log weighing at least a thousand catties, as a member of the platoon leader, also roared in a frustrated manner: "Run in both directions, avoid the past!" ”

This is the first time that the special combat team has contacted and cleared the indigenous tribe that knows how to use rolling wood, so whether it is Wu Jie, the battlefield commander, or the soldiers fighting underneath, they actually didn't expect that the other party would give themselves and others such a big surprise!

Fortunately, the rolling logs that had just fallen were still in the acceleration stage, and the initial speed was not fast enough, and the platoon commander issued timely instructions, so when the rolling logs rolled over the height of the attacking platoon, they had already avoided the dangerous distance of only three or four zhang wide.

Of course, the team members were not without injuries, because of panic and panic of hands and feet, the wooden shields in front of several team members showed flaws, and the natives on the wall found an opportunity to shoot deadly bows and arrows, and more than a dozen soldiers fell to the ground.

At the same time, there were also a few people who were injured in their thighs and feet, and when they were unable to walk, they were smashed by the oncoming rolling logs, and they were either smashed a few feet away, or they turned into a pile of meat mud embedded in the mud, which was miserable.

The losses are not only that, as the rolling logs continue to accelerate on the steep slopes, Wu Jie's special combat battalion in the low-lying area has also ushered in their biggest crisis.

At this time, the rolling log was something that no human could fight, and the huge inertia and strong kinetic energy made anything in its way turn into a wreckage.

Wu Jie, who secretly screamed in his heart at the first time, although he had also begun to organize people to prepare to avoid the rolling logs, but the irregular movement of the rolling logs from time to time was not something they could detect with the naked eye. Not to mention that there are still a lot of heavy weights in the station, and there are many bulky cannons and other things, which cannot be carried in a moment and a half.

The worse news is that when the multi-faceted cottage found that one rolling log did not work, several rolling logs fell at the same time, lined up in a zigzag, limiting the dodge range of the attacking platoon in front to a very small place.

"Bang!"

A piece of rolling wood finally fell into Wu Jie's camp, and after passing through many camp tents along the way, he finally knocked a carriage several feet away, and the tattered parts and grain loaded on the carriage fell to the ground, which blocked the impact of the rolling logs.

Wu Jie looked at the messy station, and gave an order with reluctance but no way out: "Pass my order, all the team members retreat thirty zhang!" ”

This was based on the distance the first log had tumbled, but before the team could react, several more logs fell into the station.

Last night, in order to facilitate the nearby observation of the movement of the cottage opposite, Wu Jie's station was also set up in the flat land under the hill. At this time, because of this mistake, Wu Jie will pay a heavy price. When the first log fell, most of the team members were able to escape from the danger area in time with their eye observation, although there were more than a dozen unlucky ghosts who were accidentally injured by the debris that the rolling wood hit out, but on the whole, except for the dead objects, the personnel damage was not much.

But at this time, a few rolling logs were lined up and landed towards the station, and no matter how experienced a soldier was, he couldn't run dozens of feet away at once. Therefore, this smash suddenly added the corpses of at least dozens of fighters to the special operations battalion, not to mention many members of the team who were injured due to debris.

Even the fort that had just been built was in a mess at this time, with several Francophone cannons staggering around, and the son-gun and mother-gun scattered all over the place. It's just that this thing of steel is difficult to destroy after all, and although it seems to be badly damaged, it's not unusable.

The attacking platoon that charged up was also under the command of the platoon commander at this time, and fled quickly. For their rout and escape, Wu Jie had no mind and no punishment at this time.

Wu Jie's top priority now is to retreat his special operations battalion back to a safe area before more rolling logs are released from the opposite cottage, so that he will not suffer more losses in the future.

In this way, the first siege ended without a problem, and they didn't even see the indigenous warriors of the cottage on the opposite side, so Wu Jie and the others ended this tentative journey.

In the rest of the time, it is natural to seize the time and clean up the mess in the station. And the cottage on the opposite side is also cooperating, seeing that after Wu Jie and they stopped attacking the city, they also stopped casting rolling wood, which also provided a good opportunity for Wu Jie and them to rescue and retreat.
