The sound of fighting and roars were intertwined on the battlefield, and blood stained the grass on the ground.

On the land, the corpses of the slave soldiers gradually piled up, and the follow-up slave soldiers still rushed forward without fear of death.

The bows and arrows of the barbarians are behind them, and the arrows of the soldiers of Cangzhou City are in front of them. There is still a glimmer of hope of survival if they capture Cangzhou City. If they fail to capture the city, they will all be killed by barbarians.

This was the order of Gultai, the head of the Huyantuo banner, before the siege.

In order to survive, they can no longer care that the opposite city wall is their comrade, and behind the city wall is the land of the Great Yu Kingdom and the people of the Great Yu Kingdom.

No, they are not only trying to survive, they actually have hatred in their hearts. They hate the Great Yu Kingdom, they hate their wives, children, young and old being raped by the barbarians, why did the Great Yu Kingdom not send troops!

When they hated that their homeland was burned to the ground by the barbarians, why did the Great Yu Kingdom not send troops!

They hated why the Great Yu Kingdom did not send troops when King Yong killed himself!

This kind of hatred is brewing in their hearts day and night, the country behind the city wall is gradually unfamiliar to them, and a desire for destruction grows in their hearts.

Die! Let's die together!

Gultai smiled knowingly at the slave soldiers who were constantly pounding the city walls of Cangzhou City. The strategy of using slave soldiers as the vanguard was very popular among the barbarians, and the victories of the wars pushed this strategy to a lofty position.

In their eyes, other peoples are cowardly, and the threat of death and thirst for life will make these slave soldiers willing to be driven by the barbarians.

And most importantly, these slaves saw no hope of returning to their homeland.

No one or any army can fight barbarian cavalry on the steppe.

And from time to time, they would instill in these slaves the idea that their monarch had abandoned them, which made these slaves gradually lose the hope of the Great Yu Kingdom.

Liu Xuan was also watching these slave soldiers who were fighting desperately. His expression was complicated, and he couldn't tell whether it was sympathy or sorrow in his eyes.

It's just that this emotion was quickly replaced by hatred.

In the Golden Horde, there were many people from Da Yu who advised the barbarians. They included unhappy scholars and businessmen who traveled between the two countries.

Most of them are the descendants of slaves. They have now fully integrated into the life of the barbarians, and the Great Yu Kingdom is just a distant country for them.

Like many businessmen who traveled to and from the grasslands, he believed that it was only a matter of time before the barbarians would conquer the Great Yu Kingdom.

For the barbarians, the word barbarian is nothing but a prejudice against the barbarians of the Great Yu Kingdom. This is a country that has a complete bureaucratic and military system regardless of government affairs, people's livelihood, business, and skills.

And because they controlled the Hexi Corridor and the Silk Road in the Han period, the barbarians made a lot of money by taxing the traders along the road.

The dignitaries of the Great Yu Kingdom believed that the war between the barbarians and the Ottoman Empire was only because the barbarians were bloodthirsty and warlike, but they did not know that the barbarians and the Ottoman Empire were actually fighting for this trade route that runs through the east and west.

After all, the strength of the Ottoman Empire also benefited from this trade route. They levied heavy taxes on merchants from the West to the East, which led to high trade costs. Therefore, in recent years, Western merchants gradually gave up this trade route, and it is said that the sea Open up a route to the East.

This incident to the chagrin of the barbarians led to a war between the barbarians and the Ottoman Empire.

But the Ottoman Empire was equally powerful, and the barbarians killed one thousand and wounded eight hundred.

Liu Xuan came back to his senses and looked at the battlefield again. At this time, the slave soldiers rushed over the stone pillars in front of the city wall and began to build the ladder.

At this moment, the soldiers of the city wall caught his attention, all of them wearing silver armor that covered their bodies.

He looked at Gultai, and at this time Gultai showed a playful look, and he said: You also noticed that I have seen several similar armors in the Khan's palace. It is said that this armor is from the west. passed.

It's the first time I've seen this kind of armor, and I haven't gone back for a long time, said Liu Xuan.

Gultai frowned and said: This kind of armor is not easy to deal with, ordinary swords are not very useful to them, and it takes a lot of money to forge a pair of this kind of armor, when will you not only master this kind of armor? Forging, and forging so much armor.

According to the information I got, King Qi seems to have mastered the forging technology of this kind of armor, so this King Qi is not simple. Liu Xuan reminded Gultai.

For barbarian nomadic tribes, a tribe is a flag, a small tribe is a small flag, a middle tribe is a middle flag, and a big tribe is a big flag, and the leader is called the head of the flag.

The Huyantuo tribe was just the middle flag in the Golden Horde.

In the fall of Shanhaiguan, because of his outstanding contribution, Tian Khan gave him all the land in Shanhaiguan.

So for him, this war is especially important to him, because it will mean whether he can continue to expand his tribe's territory.

Over the years, the population of the Huyantuo tribe has grown a lot. If he gets the land in Fengguan, he believes that it is only a matter of time before he becomes the leader of the banner.

There are few princes in the Great Yu Kingdom who are useful, so what if they wear these armors, can they still withstand our bows and arrows? Change the armor-piercing arrows. Gultai curled his lips.

Seeing the slave soldiers rushing to the city, he waved to the cavalry beside him.

Two thousand barbarian archers immediately formed a phalanx and moved towards the city wall.

At the top of the city at this time, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army kept throwing stones and logs at the slave soldiers who were climbing the ladder.

The slave soldiers on the ladder were constantly being crushed to death by stones and logs, but one slave soldier after another continued to climb up.

Hot oil! Niu Ben looked at the battlefield situation and gave an order.

The slave soldiers went one after another, and the arrows under the city were dense like hedgehogs. The injured slave soldiers cried out in pain under the city, and soon died at the feet of the follow-up slave soldiers.

On the inner side of the city wall, the hot kerosene had already been boiled, and at Niu Ben's order, the auxiliary soldiers immediately lifted the scalding kerosene onto the city wall.

These kerosene are to deal with the ladder, as long as the ladder is not broken, these slave soldiers will keep climbing.

Xiao Ming had been observing the situation on the battlefield, when he noticed that the barbarian archers began to move forward.

It's just that this is not what he cares about most, because he also found that the slave soldiers under the city were digging the roots of the city wall.

You guys, kill those slave soldiers!

Xiao Ming commanded a pair of crossbow fingers to point at the slave soldiers who were digging holes under the wall. These slave soldiers had only one purpose for digging holes, and that was to blow up the city wall with gunpowder.

When the crossbowmen got the order, they immediately shot at the slave soldiers, and the slave soldiers immediately fell in a pool of blood amid the screams of the winning streak.

At this time, the archers of the barbarians were getting closer and closer, and they were covering the siege of the slave soldiers.

At this time, Xiao Ming shouted: The catapult, put on the powder can!
