Iron Dynasty

PS: Yesterday, the brothers in the group reminded that it was Double Eleven, and asked to add more for comfort. I didn’t have time last night, so I added today, two chapters first, and three more chapters tonight.

The corpse mountain at the gate of the city silently stated everything that had happened.

The blood pooled in the middle stream, and the strong smell of blood mixed with the stench of corpses outside the city could be smelled in every corner of Cangzhou City.

After the barbarians retreated, the soldiers defending the city did not dare to relax at all. No one could be sure whether the barbarians really retreated, or it was another trap.

The Cangzhou city gate was blown open by the barbarian gunpowder, and the city gate was seriously damaged.

Zhan Xingchang immediately organized slaves to repair the damaged gate, while other soldiers piled the corpses of barbarian soldiers into a wall to block the gap in the gate.

It's still alive!

From time to time a voice came, followed by a scream of death.

After ten days and ten nights of hard fighting, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army became calm and calm. When they saw the barbarian soldiers, they were no longer afraid, and only raised the swords in their hands.

For the barbarian soldiers, the Qingzhou Army will not leave alive!

This is an order from Xiao Ming. The barbarians have been using this kind of war intimidation for so many years to threaten the Great Yu Kingdom, massacre the city, and kill prisoners.

Now Xiao Ming is tit for tat, he wants the barbarians to understand that he is also a wolf, a hungry wolf that is a hundred times more vicious than the barbarians.

His Royal Highness, this grape bomb is really powerful, how can this gun kill forty or fifty barbarian cavalry.

Luo Xin gently stroked the grape ball in his hand and couldn't put it down.

Xiao Ming gradually calmed down from the bloody battle. He said, This grape bullet is specially used to deal with the cavalry who are charging intensively. We were lucky this time. The cavalry rushed in from the city gate, which made the cavalry very concentrated. Let the power of the grape bomb be maximized.

Lu Fei looked impatient, His Royal Highness, let me take a shot and see how this grape bomb is doing?

When he came down from the city wall, Lu Fei was also taken aback when he saw the mountains of corpses piled up at the city gate.

This kind of picture is really shocking, and it is no wonder that the barbarians finally chose to retreat. Who is not afraid of it?

That's not possible! There aren't many grape bullets. There are only three hundred shells in total. Maybe they will come again. How can I let you play. Luo Xin protected the ammunition like a chicken.

Lu Fei was not happy anymore, Luo Xin, are you looking for a beating? Is this artilleryman your family's? Why don't you let me touch it, don't forget, you are an outsider, this artilleryman should listen... oh...

Before he could finish speaking, Niu Ben slapped Lu Fei's butt with a whip, and Lu Fei almost jumped up while clutching his butt.

Turning his face to see Niu Ben's livid face, he then remembered, this Niu Ben is also an outsider, didn't he scold Niu Ben as well?

He hehe laughed twice, Commander, I'll go see how the soldiers on the city wall are preparing?, and ran away.

Luo Xin suddenly showed a look of schadenfreude.

At this time, Niu Ben said: Don't be too happy, Lu Fei's words are not without reason. This artillery is from the Qingzhou Army. After the battle is over, you must go back to Chang'an.

Luo Xin's smile gradually disappeared. He looked at the soldiers in silver plate armor who were busy cleaning the battlefield. He felt a little reluctant to touch the artillery in front of him.

Strictly speaking, he is a general of the Imperial Army, and his allegiance is Xiao Wenxuan, not Xiao Ming.

There are still some differences between a monarch and a vassal.

Noticing Luo Xin's expression, Xiao Ming said, Luo Xin, this king will remember you.

His Royal Highness, old general, you...

Luo Xin was in a dilemma, Niu Ben and Xiao Ming were clearly forcing him.

Niu Ben and Xiao Ming looked at each other and laughed.

I have to say that this Luo Xin seems to be very talented in artillery command, and having experienced this war, Luo Xin will have more experience in the use of artillery in the battlefield.

It would be a pity to let him go, but he couldn't force Luo Xin to stay.

This choice can only be made by himself.

Likewise, this battlefield changed Niu Ben's thinking about fighting barbarians.

He said: His Royal Highness, now that there are artillery pieces, Zhan Xingchang's fortress advance strategy is really a good idea.

Thank you for the praise from the old general. This cannon was a lot worse before, but this cannon can definitely make this plan a success. Zhan Xingchang's voice came.

At this time, Zhan Xingchang was also wearing armor, and his body was mottled with blood.

At the critical moment, Zhan Xingchang, a scholar with no strength, also picked up the sword.

Niu Ben laughed and patted Zhan Xingchang's back, which was a recognition of Zhan Xingchang.

The civil servants and military officers of the Great Yu Kingdom have always been wrong, so Niu Ben was very opinionated about the long history of the army at first.

But this time, these weak scholars and soldiers fought together, which made him change his mind. Although they were scholars, they were also soldiers.

This plan is not a one-time thing, but it must be done from now on. If the barbarians retreat this time, you will organize slaves to build a fortress on the grassland and advance layer by layer. Xiao Ming said.

Although the barbarians have retreated this time, Xiao Ming has not been arrogant enough to fight the barbarians on the grasslands, and the excellent mobility of the barbarian cavalry is still no way for him.

Moreover, the Qingzhou Army also suffered heavy losses in this battle of defending the city, and it took a long time to repair it.

Like Zhan Xingchang's idea, at present their advantages are artillery and city walls, and it is the most sensible choice to use their own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.

Taking advantage of the time when the barbarians retreated, several people discussed what happened next.

The barbarians have retreated, but no one knows if they have really retreated.

In war, many enemies will pretend to retreat to confuse each other, so as to attack again by surprise.

So when the night came, the defenders of Cangzhou City were still nervous, and after the savage soldiers were not seen until the next morning, many soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

His Royal Highness, it seems that the barbarians have really retreated. I asked the soldiers to count the corpses. Yesterday, we slaughtered more than 20,000 barbarians in the siege of the city. Many of them were the most elite blood wolf guards under Bei Shan. There is also intrigue between Taiji and Bei Shan, and Bei Shan definitely doesn't want to spend all his elites in Cangzhou City, after all, he doesn't know how many people will be needed to capture Cangzhou City. Lu Fei said excitedly.

He is the happiest now. This barbarian war horse has been reluctant to leave outside the city, and is nostalgic for its master.

At this time, Lu Fei was caught.

Three thousand horses, one cavalry three horses, so that another thousand cavalry can be equipped, so that the Qingzhou army has two thousand cavalry.

Niu Ben nodded slowly, Your Highness, the last general also thinks so, I have sent scouts to inquire.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming nodded.

Outside the city, the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. They piled up the corpses of slave soldiers and brute soldiers and burned them with firewood. They collected the crossbow arrows that fell on the ground and the weapons in the hands of the dead soldiers.

Others were tasked with searching for shells that were fired, which were reusable supplies.
