Iron Dynasty

Last night, Xiao Ming fell asleep after eating. He dreamed of the bloody battle in Cangzhou City all night long.

The frightened eyes of the slave soldiers, the blood splattered, and the blood mist from the explosion of the gunpowder canister.

Half a year ago, he was still an otaku who enjoyed the favorable environment in the laboratory, but now he has to face this cruel cold weapon war in order to survive.

This kind of scene is a hundred times, a thousand times more frightening than watching a street fight with your own eyes.

When the crowd roared and rushed over, it was a kind of mental pressure in itself.

It's just that he has to endure these now, and he has to get used to it, because his future life is likely to be accompanied by such scenes.

On the city wall, the materials that were consumed yesterday were re-delivered. These recruits who have never experienced war seem to have matured a lot overnight.

Yesterday's victory showed them that as long as they were united, the barbarians were not to be feared.

His Royal Highness, it is estimated that the barbarians will not attack again in the past two days. Niu Ben said to Xiao Ming while looking at the barbarian camp with a monocular.

Xiao Ming was also looking at the barbarian camp. At this time, the barbarian camp was still burning with bonfires, and the slaves were driven to recreate engineering equipment such as ladders as they shuttled between the camps.

The barbarians, on the other hand, were roasting cattle and sheep around the campfire, and the smell of meat came, which made many soldiers swallow.

Don't be greedy, when the battle is won, this king will let you eat meat too! Xiao Ming said to a kind of soldier.

hey-hey……

The surrounding soldiers immediately burst into laughter.

Niu Ben said: His Royal Highness is right, the barbarians have always robbed us of our things. When we win, we will also rob their cattle and sheep, so that you can eat enough.

It's hard to say, I'll take the cavalry out of the city and get you a barbarian wife back! Lu Fei said rudely, not knowing when he came over.

This time the soldiers laughed even louder.

In the army, the soldiers don't eat this kind of game. After all, these soldiers are basically illiterate, and what is most important is to say something practical. He said, Have you seen the land outside the city? Is this land fertile?

Fertile! the soldiers shouted in unison.

Xiao Ming continued: Well, from now on, every time you kill a barbarian, this king promises to give you ten acres of land outside Cangzhou City. The more you kill, the more land you will have. One day this king will lead you Take back Shanhaiguan, and each of you will become a big rich man.

Your Highness, can you tell the truth? a soldier suddenly asked.

This king spit and nails, Captain Lu and Governor Niu are all here. Xiao Ming said to the soldier.

The soldier showed an excited look. He said, Your Highness, I used to be a native of Youzhou. I fled to Cangzhou. If I hit Shanhaiguan one day, can I choose a plot of land in my hometown?

Of course. Xiao Ming said.

The soldier nodded with a firm expression and said, Your Highness, many of the Qingzhou Army's hometowns are in Youzhou. For His Highness's words, we must fight our way to kill the enemy.

Niu Ben and Xiao Ming looked at each other and nodded in satisfaction.

In the army, a soldier's desire to fight is a very important factor in winning a war.

For a soldier, they have little desire for expedition. This time, the Qingzhou Army was able to guard Cangzhou with high morale. A large part of the reason is that behind them is their own land and parents.

In the future, if they want to retake Shanhaiguan, the desire of these soldiers will be relatively less.

At this time, the desire of the soldiers who originally lived in Youzhou will be stronger.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming came up with an idea, Captain Niu, this king wants to build a special army named Guan Ning Iron Cavalry.

Guan Ning Iron Cavalry? Niu Ben said with a playful look, If I guessed correctly, this pass should be Shanhaiguan, and this is Ning Yuan. It seems that His Highness has a long-term goal.

Xiao Ming nodded, the Guan Ning cavalry was actually the three most capable armies in the modern Ming Dynasty, and the Guan Ning cavalry was one of them.

Because at that time, they pursued the strategy of guarding the Liao soil with the Liao people and raising the Liao people with the Liao soil, and selected elites from the Liao people to form the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which later frightened the Jin army.

Xiao Ming's goal this time is the same. It is precisely with the old army of King Yong and the old people to form a cavalry. This cavalry will definitely fight against the barbarians in the homeland.

Exactly. Xiao Ming then shared his thoughts with Niu Ben.

Niu Ben nodded, Well, His Royal Highness has thought for a long time, and the last commander admires it, but the Great Yu Kingdom lacks horses, and the horses of this cavalry are a problem.

If we don't have a horse, we will try to grab it from the barbarians. Xiao Ming said, looking at the group of horses in the barbarian camp.

Niu Ben shook his head, he didn't believe that he could snatch the horses from the barbarians under this circumstance.

Defending the city is not enough, let alone attacking.

As Niu Ben said, for three consecutive days, the Huyantuo tribe never attacked the city again.

On the third night, a huge army appeared in the north of Huyantuo camp.

Through the binoculars, Xiao Ming saw a wolf's head painted on the flags fluttering in the army. This was a royal flag that only barbarian khans had the right to carry.

At the same time, the four artillery pieces of the Equipment Division also arrived in Cangzhou City, along with 500 gunpowder jars and a lot of granular gunpowder.

That night, Xiao Ming ordered the soldiers to erect all the artillery on the fort.

This time, the barbarian barbarian army could not see the limit at a glance, and he could not judge how many barbarian troops came.

But at this scale, I am afraid that the number of slave soldiers is enough for him to have a headache.

The war was coming, the atmosphere in the city suddenly became solemn, and everyone had a heavy look on their faces.

Can you hold it? This is the question mark in everyone's mind, but the answer will soon be solved...

Barbarian camp.

Gultai and Liu Xuan entered the tent at the same time, and a tall man like an iron tower was sitting inside. Gultai looked a little unhappy and said, Beishantaiji, isn't the big Khan here?

This person was Bei Shan, who was the messenger in Chang'an City. He said, How can a small Cangzhou city need his father to be there?

Isn't it disrespectful to the Great Khan that Beishantaiji carried the king's flag? Guertai's voice was a little hoarse.

Bei Shan stood up from his seat and said, This is the order of the father Khan, a Wang Qi, just to scare the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom, why? Are you dissatisfied?

How dare I disobey the words of the Great Khan. Gultai said.

Bei Shan sneered, this Guertai has always been very close to his elder brother, and he has always hated him.

After all, it will be his eldest brother who will inherit the khan throne in the future, and he will only go to a remote place to establish his own khanate.
