I'm a marquis in Datang

But Ma Yuan was still calm and composed, never panicking at all.The soldiers under his command counterattacked in an orderly manner.As the Persian soldiers who began to climb up the tower appeared, each soldier held a long gun and kept poking it out.Under the blow of a long gun, the Persian soldiers who came out were killed one after another.

At the same time, the guarding soldiers on the tower threw grenades one after another.As the grenades fell and exploded, the crowd gathered under the city tower were continuously blown to the ground.

The soldiers under Kasde's command were all dispersed, and all the towers on the front line of the west city were attacked.

Because they are dispersed, even bombardment has limited damage.

But no matter how scattered, these scattered Persian soldiers will eventually gather under the tower.They had the chance to kill the tower only when they got to the tower, so when they appeared in groups, when the grenade exploded, countless people were killed.

Even grenades are not as powerful as gunpowder and mortars, but

With the crowd of people gathered right now, the grenades fell and exploded densely, which is not too much to give up.

Rumbling explosions, one after another.

More and more grenades exploded, and the soldiers of Persia gathered under the tower, causing countless casualties.

All were killed.

As a result, the Persian soldiers who climbed up the ladder were finally attacked and killed in a blink of an eye because of lack of follow-up.

This fight lasted for more than an hour.

The Persian side boarded the tower several times.

However, they were shot down without exception.

No breakthrough was ever made.

Custer saw this scene in his eyes, clenched his fists, with a look of unwillingness on his face.He has invested a full [-] elites, but if he gets nothing, even the city wall, it would be too disappointing.Custer frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Waldo, our gunpowder is useless. What should we do now?"

Waldo said in a deep voice, "City Master, we have another solution."

Custer said, "What way?"

"Blow up the city gate!"

A cold look flashed across Waldo's eyes.

Custer said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid this is not easy."

Ba Le was also on the side, with a serious expression on his face, he said: "Waldo, although you are resourceful, you must consider the reality. Although we have gunpowder, it is not easy to blow up the city. things."

Waldo said in a deep voice: "Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible, but right now it is possible. First, our soldiers have climbed the tower several times, so our people can easily reach the tower. Second Second, the city built by Dole is not particularly strong. It was built by you with rammed soil, and the city is not tall enough, and the city gate is not forged with refined iron. The city gate can be blown open by the explosion of gunpowder. Third, the gate of the city The position of the place is not high enough, as long as the soldiers come forward, dragging the gunpowder bag to ignite, the gunpowder will explode, and the city tower will collapse, and the city gate will also collapse."

After hearing this, Barr said, "Waldo, your analysis makes sense.

But the soldier rushed over with the gunpowder bag, which meant that they could not evacuate when the gunpowder was ignited.It is equal to, let these people die directly, are they willing? "

Waldo laughed and said, "Of course people don't want to. Who wants to die if they can live well? But our army is composed of a group of slaves. And there are some slaves who have families. As long as the city lord promises, These slaves who went to death blew up the city, and then their family members were free. Since then, they are free, no longer slaves, and do not need to be exploited. Even some people are unwilling to die for their families. However, some people are willing. So this is not a problem at all."

Upon hearing this, Baldor took a serious look at Waldo.

Such a cruel person.

Baler was just a soldier, a general in the army, but Waldo's words made people's hearts tremble.

Because planning can be described as unscrupulous.

Balak also knew that this was indeed feasible.

Custer said in a deep voice, "General Baler, let's make arrangements."

Waldo said: "City Master, it should be best if you come forward in person this time. Because of this, it is convincing. Under such a premise, no one will doubt it. Because the promise is made in front of everyone. , if you refuse this time, no one will trust the city lord. Therefore, there will always be someone who is willing."

Custer nodded.

He directly chose to agree.

The reason is simple, he believes in Waldo's analysis.What's more, it's nothing to just give some slaves free status.

Caster turned around and returned to the unused military formation in the rear, and then to the phalanx formed by slaves.The army composed of slaves alone is a full 2 people, [-] infantry, with the simplest leather armor on their bodies, which only covers their chests, and these soldiers hold a round shield and a knife in one hand, all of them are vicious .

Slave soldiers are also the main force under Custer's command.

The soldiers are extremely fierce.

Custer breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Right now, the Lord of the City needs

A group of dead soldiers numbered around fifty.All of you, rush forward with gunpowder bags and go directly to the tower to gather.After everyone gathered, all the people held up the gunpowder and ignited it, directly blowing up the tower.This city lord promises that after you die, your family members will be abolished from slavery and given freedom.In addition, the lord of the city gave them good land to support their families, and each family gave five acres of good land.Those who are willing to go now, come out immediately.There are only [-] places available, first come first served. "

After hearing this, all the slaves hesitated.

Because this is going to die.

But after hesitating, someone immediately stood up and said, "City Lord, I am willing to go."

"City Lord, I am willing to go."

"I would like to go."

...

In an instant, slaves came out one after another.

All stand still.

In a short time, the quota of fifty slaves has been satisfied, and these people

The expressions on their faces showed that they were willing to die. They would rather sacrifice themselves than let their families live a better life.Custer had people register the names of all the people, in order to be able to follow up on pensions and release their family members from their status as slaves.

After everything was registered, these people were even asked to leave a message, with their dictation, and the people in the army were responsible for writing the letter.

Write everything down.

Then, these fifty people started rushing forward with gunpowder packs.On the faces of these people, there is a look of willingness to die, because for them, it is worthwhile for them to exchange their own lives for the eternal freedom of their family members.

Spread out one by one and rush forward quickly.

Ma Yuan was watching the development of the situation from the top of the city tower. Through the binoculars, he saw the fifty soldiers who suddenly rushed out, and also saw the gunpowder packs in the arms of these soldiers.

After all, Ma Yuan knew about weapons. When he saw the fifty soldiers rushing out, and also found the direction where they were noisy from the tower, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

Attack the city tower?

He is not afraid.

Ma Yuan immediately issued an order to evacuate all the soldiers directly above the city gate.Then, he ordered the soldiers to stop the Persian soldiers who were coming to the tower and stop them from coming to the gate of the city.
