Iron Dynasty

On the grassland, there were only more than 40,000 barbarian cavalrymen slowly moving northward.

Gultai shuttled among his own people, and from time to time he could hear the cry of women.

This time Huyan Tuo Buluo was in charge of the siege, and more than half of the clansmen never came back.

If you call the Huyantuo tribe again, it will be gone.

Liu Xuan's words that day made Gultai make up his mind, he did not continue to send the tribesmen and those soldiers in steel armor to fight.

Because it's insane and there's no hope of victory.

And Bei Shan did not come back after the city gate was broken. He was silent for a while, and finally ordered to retreat.

Like Guertai, Bei Shan also couldn't see how many people needed to spend to win Cangzhou City, and his purpose of coming this time was at least half realized.

The Huyantuo tribe under Dataiji suffered heavy losses, which was equivalent to breaking one of Dataiji's arms.

Although Guertai finally figured this out, what does it matter? A Huyantuo tribe with only more than 5,000 cavalrymen is just a small tribe that is no longer inconspicuous.

And he thought that the most important thing this time was not the life and death of the Huyantuo tribe, nor the lost Blood Wolf Guard, but the new weapons of the Great Yu Kingdom.

He needs to tell his father Khan about this, and the country of Dayu has mastered artillery technology.

He understood when the cannon was fired for the first time, and it was precisely because his Blood Wolf Guard had experienced the war with the Ottoman Empire that the Blood Wolf Guard would be so calm after the sound of the cannon.

The shield that protected him also appeared on the Ottoman battlefield to protect him.

How can there be artillery in the Great Yu Kingdom? Along the way, Bei Shan's mind was full of this question.

The cavalry of the Golden Horde traversed the grasslands, and only the Ottoman Empire would be defeated in the face of the city's strong artillery, and now this fate has appeared again in Cangzhou City.

A bunch of idiots, why does no one believe me. Bei Shan cursed.

He led the barbarian cavalry to fight in the Western Regions. After hundreds of battles, he has always wanted to acquire this weapon since the artillery caused a large number of casualties to the cavalry.

After returning to Shengdu, he suggested to organize artisans to study and produce artillery, but was mocked by Dataiji.

Everyone was saying that he was scared out of his wits, that the cavalry of the Golden Horde didn't need to hide on the city walls and use artillery to deal with the enemy.

Because no one would foolishly fight the Golden Horde on the steppe.

Recalling the scenes from the past, Bei Shan clenched his fists, and this time he would put all the responsibility on the Huyantuo tribe and this artillery weapon.

Brother, you can't blame me. For the future of the Golden Horde, I won't let someone like you who only hides in the tent and plays with women become the khan. A voice sounded in Bei Shan's heart.

Looking back at the direction of Cangzhou City, Bei Shan's expression was stern, and the name of a seventh prince of the Great Yu Kingdom was deeply embedded in his heart.

Cangzhou City, I will come back again.

Bei Shan's voice echoed in the open grassland, and the Blood Wolf Guard collectively let out a high roar.

Guertai looked at Bei Shan's figure coldly, his heart was bleeding, he was going to Shengdu to visit Wu Shugu, he would not sit still.

He wants justice for the dead clan...

In Cangzhou City, the scouts quickly brought news that the barbarians were retreating to Shanhaiguan.

The barbarians have retreated! We are defending Cangzhou! This time Xiao Ming shouted.

After his voice fell, a shocking cheer erupted from the city wall of Cangzhou.

We won, we won!

Win! Win!

Mother, I'm still alive!

...

The soldiers shouted, cried, and laughed. After ten days and ten nights of hard fighting, they finally drove away the barbarians and defended Cangzhou City.

At this moment they cried with joy.

Xiao Ming's face was smiling, and the defeat of the barbarians gave him time to breathe.

Even if the barbarians reorganize their troops to come, it will take at least several months, and during this time, there will be more artillery on the Cangzhou city wall.

And the ammunition will continue to be sent.

Next time, the barbarian army will face more intense artillery fire, and Cangzhou City will let the barbarians understand that Cangzhou City is a mountain that they cannot cross.

Niu Ben laughed heartily. Since joining the Qingzhou Army, Niu Ben has been sulking, and at this moment he finally laughed happily.

From a criminal minister to now and Xiao Ming leading the Qingzhou army to defeat the barbarians, he gradually adapted to his new identity and new life.

He smiled and looked at Xiao Ming who was cheering with the soldiers, a man worthy of allegiance.

Your Highness, I'm so happy...

The always fierce Lu Fei wept loudly. The first time was when he led the soldiers to retake Cangzhou City. At that time, when he looked at the corpses of Qingzhou soldiers all over the ground, he cried out in grief.

This was the second time he cried, but tears of joy, as his eyes were full of barbarian corpses.

Although the Qingzhou Army suffered heavy losses this time, relatively more soldiers were injured, which was all due to the protection of the armor.

Although this siege was a defeat for the barbarians, Xiao Ming understood that this was only a loss of fur for the barbarians.

After all, most of the dead were slave soldiers, and the barbarian soldiers lost only 20,000 people.

Now he finally understands what Pang Yukun said, the barbarians can be defeated again and again, but he can't afford to lose once. After all, he is fighting against a powerful grassland empire in the north with the land of six states.

Cry enough if you're happy. The city defense was won, and the soldiers should be indulged. He said to Niu Ben, Search all the wine and meat in the city, and let our soldiers have enough food and drink today. enough!

Long live Your Highness! Hearing this, a soldier shouted happily, There is meat to eat.

When the other soldiers heard it, they immediately shouted, Eat meat! Eat meat! Eat meat!

Niu Ben gave a wry smile, Your Highness, you've caused me a big problem. Where can I find so much meat?

If you really can't do it, just buy it from the common people. Our soldiers are born and die. Could it be that this king can't even satisfy them? Xiao Ming said.

Niu Ben nodded, I'll just wait for His Highness's words.

Xiao Ming was startled, this Niu Ben was also an old fox, so he was afraid that Xiao Ming would not give him money.

The continuous cheers came and went, and at this moment, the cheers of victory overshadowed everything.

Zhan Xingchang's expression was moved, but he still had a trace of calmness in his heart, he said to Xiao Ming: Your Highness, it's time to announce the good news!

At this time, it is estimated that everyone in Chang'an officials is waiting for the news of Cangzhou City.

Xiao Ming showed a playful look, Cangzhou City held on, the royal family held on, and the rest of the trouble should be left to those feudal lords with different surnames.

He said, How to announce the good news!

Of course it was a great victory in Cangzhou City. His Highness led a mere 20,000 defenders to kill 100,000 barbarians. Zhan Xingchang said.

There are only 20,000 barbarians.

Zhan Xingchang said speechlessly: His Royal Highness, don't be so sincere at this time. If such a military exploit is given to King Zhao, it is estimated that 300,000 people will be beheaded, not to mention slave soldiers are soldiers.
