Iron Dynasty

His Royal Highness, Qingzhou City sent another ten artillery pieces, and the people who came also said that some grape bullets were also sent back.

On the city wall, an auxiliary soldier shouted to Xiao Ming.

Is the grape bomb finally here? Xiao Ming suddenly had the urge to cry.

Because grape bombs are very troublesome to produce, although the equipment department has been producing them, the number is too small.

Although these grape bullets are also solid bullets, but these solid bullets are very small, dozens or even hundreds of small solid bullets are wrapped in one shell.

These grape bullets are shot from the artillery like a shotgun, the range will be reduced, but the killing area will be greatly enhanced.

Because of this, producing one grape bullet is equivalent to producing dozens or hundreds of solid bullets, although the amount of materials used is basically the same.

Now that this grape bomb was sent over, it was an excellent weapon against the siege soldiers, but when he looked outside the city, his expression suddenly changed.

He hurriedly said: Set up all the artillery that came over to both sides of the city gate, hurry up!

The auxiliary soldiers heard the words and immediately ran down the city wall.

At this time, Xiao Ming found Luo Xin in the crowd, and he shouted: Come with me with ten groups of artillery, hurry up, it's too late.

Luo Xin's red eyes were killing him, but he calmed down. He glanced outside the city and immediately understood what Xiao Ming meant.

The two quickly descended the city wall.

At this time, there were more than 2,000 emergency soldiers under the city, Xiao Ming shouted: Place a hollow square at the gate of the city!

Hearing the words, the soldiers immediately changed their formation and turned into five hollow phalanxes that crossed front and back. In the phalanx, two spearmen were in the front and three rows of crossbowmen were in the back, and they had the last arrow in their hands.

At the same time, the artillerymen immediately moved the cannons to both sides of the hollow phalanx, and the artillerymen stuffed the bundled bags that were as thick as the muzzles into the cannons.

These bags are filled with solid bullets one by one, and together they are grape bullets.

Just now, the two of them saw barbarian soldiers on the city wall rushing towards the city gate with a dozen powder kegs.

Originally, the city gate was the deepest place in the entire trench, and it was impossible to climb under the city gate like a cliff.

But after days of deadly fighting, the trenches under the city gates were filled with corpses.

At this time, the barbarians outside the city were still filling the trenches with corpses, which was basically completed. At this time, the barbarians carried out the powder keg, precisely to blow up the city gate.

With barbarian urination, after the city gate was broken, the cavalry charged below.

Because of this, Xiao Ming set up a simple hollow phalanx to deal with the cavalry behind the city gate.

This hollow phalanx is a phalanx after the development of firearms and is used to deal with cavalry.

The hollow phalanx is surrounded by shooting soldiers, and the front and rear arrays protect each other, which can ensure that fire can be fired in any direction, so as to avoid being flanked by the cavalry.

The cavalry that filled the middle of the hollow phalanx will face several shots.

At this time, Xiao Ming placed artillery on both sides, which made up for the lack of firepower of the hollow phalanx.

boom!

A thunderous bang flew along with the smashed wood chips from the city gate, and the entire city gate collapsed.

Through the city gate, Xiao Ming saw the barbarian cavalry rushing into the city with the machete in his hand.

The leading cavalry had bloody wolf heads pierced on their arms, and they were the strongest cavalry under Bei Shan.

Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters!

The rapidly charging cavalry approached in a blink of an eye, and at the moment when the cavalry rushed into the city gate and entered Cangzhou City, Xiao Ming shouted, Fire!

Boom!

The continuous sound of cannons sounded, and the barbarian cavalry that rushed over turned into a cloud of blood, falling in pieces, and the horses and men were all broken.

The cavalry behind were horrified to death when they saw this scene, but they couldn't stop and could only continue to charge forward.

It was just that the three artillery pieces fired at the same time, and in an instant, hundreds of cavalrymen died, and the remaining cavalrymen rushed towards the hollow square.

At this time, the crossbowmen immediately fired three stages, and the cavalry who rushed over fell on the halfway.

And those cavalrymen who were lucky enough to rush to the front of the battle saw the spears standing up, the horses neighed, and the spears pierced their necks.

A wave of cavalry fell, and another wave of cavalry rushed in.

At this time, three artillery pieces opened fire on the cavalry again. The grape bullets turned into a rain of bullets and rushed towards the cavalry at the moment when the artillery was fired, and another blood mist burst out.

The third wave of cavalry arrived, when four artillery pieces opened fire at the same time.

When another group of cavalry appeared, the first artillery had been loaded.

The corpses piled up layer by layer. The corpses of barbarian soldiers and horses at the gate of the city piled up higher and higher. The subsequent cavalry could no longer rush in on horseback.

At this time, the formation of the Qingzhou Army soldiers changed again. They became a very tight rectangular battle formation. The tight armor and the well-trained battle formation made it like a steel machine to drive the barbarians to the city gate step by step.

Gradually, the corpses of the barbarians at the city gate piled up like a mountain, almost blocking the city gate.

The barbarians are back, the barbarians are back!

I don't know who shouted on the city wall, and immediately a cheer of victory resounded throughout the entire Cangzhou City.

The barbarians are back! The barbarians are back! Luo Xin was startled and shouted, but after shouting, he suddenly burst into tears.

This battle is too difficult, and almost everyone is fighting this war with their lives overdrafted.

Every soldier has gone days and nights without sleep.

Xiao Ming murmured as if he was still in a dream, The barbarians have retreated.

Looking at the blood pooling at the gate of the city, he rushed towards the city wall like crazy.

In his eyes, the barbarian army had already evacuated from the city wall, and the barbarian army, which was once mighty, was now in a mess.

At the gate of the city, thousands of war horses without owners are wandering.

His Royal Highness, the barbarians have retreated! Niu Ben was covered in blood and his eyes were slightly red.

This time the barbarians really retreated, because these barbarians retreated in such a panic, and the barbarian cavalry in the barbarian camp also slowly retreated.

Another day.

This battle was fought from morning to night, did the barbarians finally retreat?

Don't be careless, Bei Shan has a lot of tricks, maybe there are tricks. Xiao Ming said.

Niu Ben said: His Royal Highness, no, this time the barbarians have really withdrawn. This old man can guarantee that the barbarians have suffered a great loss this time, and even Bei Shan would not dare to continue taking risks.

Really? But it's better to be careful. You can't relax your vigilance tonight. Xiao Ming said.

Niu Ben nodded and said, Yes, Your Highness!

At this time, he and Xiao Ming went down the city wall together. When they arrived at the city gate, they saw the corpses piled up like mountains. Niu Ben gasped. What happened here?

Gamble the city gate with corpses. Before he could ask, Xiao Ming gave another order.

Looking at King Qi in front of him, Niu Ben was silent, a war had changed the prince a lot.
