Iron Dynasty

In the early morning, wisps of cooking smoke floated in the city of Cangzhou.

If it weren't for the soldiers running back and forth in the city, Xiao Ming even suspected that he had returned to the mountain village he used to be in his childhood.

However, after living here for a while, for him, everywhere is just like the countryside.

In the past, he always thought that the ancient royal family lived like it was on TV, but when he came here, he found out that the royal family's food was similar to that of modern ordinary people.

This is not a problem of shortage of materials, but the level of technology is here.

Xiao Ming didn't fall asleep last night, facing a large-scale cold weapon war, he was not strong enough to look like a normal person.

After hurriedly eating a bowl of rice porridge and meat patties brought by Luluo, he put on tailor-made armor and climbed the city wall.

At this time, all the soldiers were already on guard on the city wall, and many people in the city also gathered under the city wall, ready to help at any time.

The news brought by Luo Xin and Lu Fei last night meant that the first wave of attacks on Cangzhou City was imminent.

Your Highness, here we come!

Before noon, the sky was like a dark cloud floating over, and it was dark. At this time, Niu Ben pointed to the north and said to Xiao Ming.

Picking up the binoculars, Xiao Ming looked over. Through the enlarged image, he saw a large area of ​​barbarian cavalry.

Lu Fei and Luo Xin immediately went to their place.

Because the area of ​​the city wall is very long, there is a commander in charge of each distance, and Niu Ben is responsible for the scheduling of the entire battle.

Our trap is probably useless. Putting down the telescope, Xiao Ming sighed.

Standing beside him is Zhan Xingchang, who is also using a telescope to observe, The barbarians have driven so many slaves ahead, and our trap is over.

Before the barbarian cavalry, they were slaves tied up with ropes. These slaves had the same appearance as the people of the Dayu country, and they were once clearly the people of the Dayu country.

Niu Ben said: There is no way out, the barbarians will definitely use slaves to attack before attacking, Your Highness, don't be soft-hearted at this time, they are indeed the people of the Great Yu Kingdom, but behind you are also the people of the Great Yu Country. .

In those days, Shanhaiguan was just because King Yong was soft-hearted, and let these expelled people enter the city before the battle. As a result, I never thought that some of these slaves were willing to become barbarian eagle dogs, which led to the capture of the city gate, and the barbarian cavalry took advantage of the situation. . Niu Ben continued.

Xiao Ming nodded lightly. In the wars of the past and present, there are countless such cases.

The figure of the barbarian cavalry is getting closer and closer, one thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters.

Finally, at a distance of 500 meters, the barbarian cavalry stopped, and the battlefield was silent.

The barbarian cavalry also stared at the soldiers in silver armor on the city.

The two sides faced each other for a while, and suddenly a loud horn came from the barbarian formation. At this time, the barbarian cavalry suddenly dismounted, and the slaves who were driven were skilled in taking down various things from their horses.

They are camping on the spot. Niu Ben said at this time.

The Huyantuo tribe is a pure nomadic tribe. Wherever the cattle and sheep go, they are stationed there. This time, the Huyantuo tribe brought slaves and drove the cattle and sheep here.

It seems that the barbarians are preparing to besiege Cangzhou City.

Xiao Ming glanced at the artillery that was wrapped in black cloth on the city wall. The range of the artillery he produced this time was between three and four miles. At this time, the barbarians were stationed within the range.

One shot can definitely hit them all, but they have to hold back no matter how ticklish they are.

Because the real important characters have not yet appeared, if the great Khan of the barbarians does appear, then it will be the time when the artillery fires.

The barbarians camped leisurely, and the soldiers in the city could only watch.

No way, these barbarian soldiers are cavalry when mounted, and infantry when dismounted.

If cavalry was sent to harass him at this time, they would face 20,000 cavalry and shooters, and there would be no return.

A slave is coming. Niu Ben suddenly sighed.

Xiao Ming saw that in the Huyantuo tribe who were camping at this time, some slaves suddenly came to Cangzhou City.

These slaves lined up and walked towards Cangzhou City step by step.

Zhan Xingchang gritted his teeth, These barbarians are simply utterly devastated, and they don't take the people of our Great Yu Kingdom as human beings at all.

It's more than just being a human being. Don't you know another name for the people of the Great Yu Kingdom by the barbarians?

What! Zhan Xingchang asked.

Niu Ben looked at the slaves who were constantly marching towards death and said, Two-footed sheep!

Double-footed sheep! Xiao Ming frowned slightly. This term has appeared in modern history. As the name suggests, this double-footed sheep is a sheep with only two legs.

At that time, China was in the era of Wuhu chaotic China. The Han people called the two-legged sheep were not only the slaves of the barbarians, but also the food of the barbarians. This is where the two-legged sheep came from.

Niu Ben continued: When the barbarians invaded Youzhou, there was a shortage of food. At that time, the barbarians fed on the Han people. This is the origin of the two-legged sheep.

These words made Zhan Xingchang clench his fists. He never thought that the barbarians would be so vicious.

what!

A scream came, and the slave who was walking on the grass suddenly fell into the trap, and bursts of screams came from the pit.

At this moment, a burst of laughter came from the mouth of the barbarian cavalry who followed behind the slave.

On the city wall, the soldiers watched everything, and those who held their weapons turned white from too much force.

They know what the barbarians are laughing at, they are laughing at the traps they have worked so hard to dig that can only kill their own people.

Xiao Ming watched everything in silence. This is war, a battlefield where everything is possible. There is no mercy or sympathy in this battlefield. The only purpose of both sides is to kill each other.

The expelled slaves panicked, they hesitated and did not dare to advance, which angered the barbarian cavalry, who waved their machetes and slashed at the slaves who refused to advance.

A shrill cry rang out on the empty battlefield, and the slaves shivered and moved forward again.

The traps were destroyed one by one, and the barbarian cavalry finally stopped at a distance of 200 meters. At this time, there were only a hundred slaves of the five hundred people in front of them.

At this time, the barbarian cavalry took out bows and arrows and continued to yell at the slaves to advance.

Your Highness, you can't let these slaves advance any more, otherwise all the traps will be over. Zhan Xingchang almost gritted his teeth and said, this is the hatred of the barbarians.

Looking at the barbarian cavalry standing two hundred meters away, Niu Ben took a soldier and handed over a bow and arrow, he said, Your Highness, there must be no woman's kindness at this time, a war may only be caused by a few traps. will change.

Old General, handle it yourself.

Xiao Ming looked solemn, it turned out that this was the battle of defending the city.

Whoosh! The sound of a sharp arrow, followed by a scream, Xiao Ming clearly saw a mass of blood burst from the chest of the slave walking in the front.
