Iron Dynasty

The flames in the tent danced, and black figures flickered in the candlelight.

Bei Shan looked at Guertai and said, This time when we attack Cangzhou City, the Huyantuo Department must obey all my orders.

Although Guertai was not happy, he still nodded.

Bei Shan asked at this time, How is the garrison in Cangzhou?

Guertai explained the situation during the siege a few days ago in turn.

Explosive powder cans? Bei Shan asked.

Gultai nodded, Yes, this powder canister is very powerful. Hundreds of our archers died in the explosion.

Then he continued: And the armor on the guards this time is also very good, it seems that they are the most elite troops of King Qi.

Bei Shan frowned, and he said, I will take a look at the siege tomorrow morning.

Gultai nodded.

This time, Bei Shan personally led 50,000 barbarian elites to arrive, but there were 80,000 slave soldiers accompanying him, plus his own tribe's slave soldiers, there were more than 100,000 people.

Just these slave soldiers are enough to make the defenders of Cangzhou City go back and forth.

the next day.

A loud crowing pierced the sky, and the first rays of sunlight in the morning passed through the clouds and fell on the battlefield full of corpses.

Then, a deafening cry of killing sounded, accompanied by the explosion of a powder can.

Outside the city, the overwhelming number of slave soldiers rushed towards Cangzhou City like a flood. The slave soldiers carried hundreds of ladders. Almost every few meters, a pair of ladders went up the wall.

Facing the mighty siege of the city, every soldier on the city wall was tense, and they clenched the steel knives in their hands, just waiting for these slave soldiers to climb the city wall.

The order of defending the city is fixed, smashing stones, throwing logs, and pouring fire oil, but this time the powder pot was used for the first time.

Fifty catapults kept throwing powder cans into the dense formation of slave soldiers.

Thick smoke rose, blood splashed, and the slave soldiers fell in waves on the road to siege the city. Under the defense of bows and arrows, stones, logs, and kerosene on the city, a thick layer of corpses soon piled up under the city.

Retire! The explosion of the powder canister in the first round of siege ended.

The slave soldiers who were attacking the city suddenly retreated. At this time, Niu Ben showed a confused look.

Another tentative attack. Xiao Ming looked at the barbarian camp, his eyes suddenly fell on a tall man who looked like a barbarian leader.

Beside him, he saw a businessman with a Han face.

He touched the artillery at his hand and wanted to give them a shot, but he knew that the accuracy of the artillery was too poor to hit him, and the secret weapon of the artillery couldn't be exposed at this time.

How does Your Highness know? Niu Ben was puzzled.

Xiao Ming said: I got the news that the barbarian Tian Khan personally led the troops, and Bei Shan came at the same time. Wang Xuan said that the Huyantuo tribe has always supported Datai Jiwu Jugu, and Bei Shan naturally would not I completely believe in this Guertai, and I have to see it for myself.

I didn't expect His Highness to have such meticulous information. Niu Ben nodded in agreement.

Xiao Ming said: This is also a coincidence. You caught a few profiteers on the grassland and learned about it.

His Royal Highness, come and see, this barbarian's camp seems to be assembling something big. Lu Fei came over and said.

From Xiao Ming and Niu Ben's point of view, they didn't see any big guy. The two followed Lu Fei to his defense area.

At this time, raising the telescope, I saw that in the middle of the barbarian camp, many slaves were carrying some parts, and some slaves were assembling.

From the appearance, the base of this thing is very large, at least ten meters long.

This estimate is the Huihui artillery. It is said that this is the siege weapon that the barbarians learned from the Western Regions.

Xiao Ming frowned, the situation he was worried about still occurred, and the barbarians came over to transport the Huihui artillery.

Judging from the information obtained so far, this barbarian has not only mastered gunpowder, but if there is another round of huge artillery, it will be a huge threat to Cangzhou City.

Niu Ben had already learned from Xiao Ming about the range and power of this Huihui artillery, he said, It seems that the barbarians are bound to win Cangzhou City this time.

Lu Fei scolded: No matter what he does with the huge artillery, as long as I Lu Fei is here, I want to break through Cangzhou City, unless he steps over my body.

Luo Xin passed by at an unknown time. He excitedly said to Xiao Ming, Your Highness, this time I'll fire some cannons. There seems to be some interesting things in this barbarian camp. I'll smash them all.

It's too late, let them assemble for a while, and we'll surprise them when it's halfway through. Xiao Ming said.

It seems that in order to wait for the assembly of Huihui's huge artillery, the barbarians did not continue to attack after one attack.

For the next two days, the two sides were in a confrontation. On the third day, the barbarian camp could already see equipment more than three meters high.

At this time, the barbarians pushed these instruments to a position of 500 meters, and lined up the half-assembled Huihui cannons one after another.

Your Highness, this Bei Shan is provoking His Highness. Niu Ben said involuntarily when he saw the barbarian's action.

Xiao Ming nodded. This Bei Shan is said to be arrogant and arrogant. This is also a common problem of geniuses. At this time, the Huihui artillery was placed in front of the formation to be assembled, obviously wanting Xiao Ming to see how he broke through the city of Cangzhou step by step.

Since that's the case, it's time for us to return our salute. Xiao Ming said: The artillery is ready!

As soon as his voice fell, the soldiers were shocked, and finally the artillery was about to be used.

These days they just waited for the artillery to smash these barbarians to pieces.

Luo Xin smiled and said, These barbarians are hiding in the back. Let's see where they are hiding this time. A group of cowards who only drive slave soldiers.

Then he shouted, All in place, clear the barrels.

Since Luo Xin's first fire cannon, he seems to regard himself as an artillery commander, and he always leads the soldiers who go to the equipment department for training on weekdays.

Although the time is only more than a month, Luo Xin knows all aspects of the performance of the artillery.

At this time, the soldiers lifted all the canvas covering the artillery, revealing the black metal gun body.

Then they adjusted the muzzle to the barbarian return cannon that was being assembled 500 meters away.

This Bei Shan thought that he could use the Huihui Cannon to crush Cangzhou City, but he didn't know that Xiao Ming was about to crush him.

Load gunpowder! Luo Xin issued a second order.

Cannonball! A third command came out.

After everything was ready, Luo Xin looked at Xiao Ming, just waiting for an order, the thirty artillery pieces on the fort would fire, and the shells would be shot at the barbarians.

Aim at the five Huihui cannons. Xiao Ming ordered.

The purpose of this first wave of attacks is naturally to destroy the Huihui artillery, otherwise, when this thing is assembled, it will definitely cause a large number of casualties to the soldiers.
