In fact, the word trench has been around for a long time, but most of the time it is not used like Yang Ce.

For example, in ancient China, in order to prevent enemy cavalry and infantry from sneaking attack, several layers would be dug outside the camp according to the situation, some barbed stakes would be buried, water or gold juice would be poured into them, and how to pickle them would be used for bathing the enemy.

The moat is the large moat.

In the era of Chen Mu, the trench station people, but he was not the first to create the trench station people, in the battle of Constantinople, where the Ottoman Empire destroyed Byzantium, the Sultan's soldiers got into the trenches to do things with people.

After all, the Ottomans were a must-see.

As for the stone cannon, which the Spanish loved very much, Constantinople was bombarded again and again by this thing.

One hundred and thirty years later, what were the Ottoman stone cannons like, and now the stone cannons in the hands of Spain and France are still the same, except that they are a little smaller and have fewer patterns.

Billon wasn't someone who hadn't seen a trench, but he certainly hadn't seen anyone who had even gotten into the trenches before the battle had even begun.

So many shells are empty, it's so angry!

Billon was even more angry when he thought that the king had recruited thousands of donkeys and horses along the way, and sent twenty-four heavy siege cannons and shells weighing tens of thousands of pounds, but his field artillery could not reach the enemy, and his siege artillery could not reach the city.

Just as his artillery had stopped shelling, Field Marshal Billund, who was sitting on a horse and looking out over the battlefield, spotted him...... His enemies seemed to be happy with the artillery bombardment.

Yes, it was happy, and although there was a pause, it was true that almost all the soldiers in the trenches were cheering, and some even climbed out of the trenches and shouted with their arms outstretched.

Even though they had different skin tones, Billund could feel the joy of the blackened soldiers on the other side coming out of the dirt, rather than boosting their morale.

In fact, Yang Ce didn't know why his subordinates were so happy, even those officers in Nanyang couldn't hold down the soldiers a little, until a hundred households ran over to show him a cannonball, he didn't know what was going on - the cannonballs of the French royal army were not stones, nor Spanish stone or iron bullets, but copper.

Yes.

Using a wrought-iron, chemical-powered throwing machine, Billund's troops threw more than 300 pounds of copper balls next to Yang Ce's trench in a short period of time.

Copper, it is worthless in Daming, and it is far from gold and silver.

The price of copper wire is 100 catties and 20 taels of silver, and the prices of red copper, red cooked copper, two-fire brass, and four-fire brass are between 100 catties and 8 taels to 10 taels of silver.

But if it is made into copper coins and becomes a general equivalent, it is slightly more valuable, and a hundred catties of copper coins can be worth fifteen or sixteen taels of silver, but it is still not as expensive as the processed copper wire.

But it is very valuable in the Han Kingdom, because the Han Kingdom does not prosper silver taels, and the four kings of the Han Kingdom are reluctant to hand over the silver to the people, and the legal tender of the Han people is the Ming Tongbao.

It was not easy for Lin Feng to get Tongbao, so Tongbao had stronger purchasing power in the Han Kingdom, not to mention that the pirate leaders still used Tongbao to fool those African chiefs, saying that this is a treasure, you look at this pattern, this is exquisite.

What does this mean for the Afrika Army?

This is equivalent to Chen Mu fighting with others, and suddenly found that the opposite side was smashing himself with gold, and he couldn't smash it accurately...... Who can withstand this!

Seeing that Billund did not fire the artillery, the African army was anxious, and jumped out of the trench one by one and shouted loudly.

Chen Jiujing on the city wall was so happy that he raised his hand and slapped Margaret's helmet continuously, shaking the woman inside dizzy: "Look at General Yang's soldiers, the military heart is available!" Not a little discouraged by the bombardment, shouting a challenge, such morale, can he Billund cross my trench? Chen is really blind, he is really a warrior! ”

Enraged, Bironn ordered another burst of fire.

It turned out to be the same as before, and people got into the trenches again.

This time, many people took off their pants, turned around and slapped and shouted at the French royal army with their black buttocks, and the battle line seemed to be dancing like a group of demons.

They didn't even need military music, all they heard in their ears was the sound of tinkling copper coins, and more than 300 catties of copper had arrived.

No one took the corpses of those robes who fell to the ground seriously, and the atmosphere on the battlefield was extremely cheerful.

This scene was also seen by a hidden army in the woods to the southwest of the right bank, the cavalry of the Kanguru tribe returning from Agen and the stragglers of the Kingdom of Navarre.

By the time Kanguru arrived in Agen, the battle was almost over, and the Huguenot rebels, armed with pitchforks, felling axes and hammers, had routed the king's army armed to the teeth with the help of Agen's defenders, but were unable to pursue the enemy due to heavy losses and the wounding of their leader.

Most of the king's army, who had lost their armor, ended up sleeping in Agen, with only a small number of cavalry and the infantry that had escaped into the woods in time to escape Kanguru's pursuit.

But the situation of Bourbon Henry, King of Navarre, was not so good, his cuirass was cut all over with scratches and dents, and there were a few small lead cakes embedded in the armor, probably because of the distance, and the marks on the armor did not really hurt him a single cold hair.

The real big trouble is a crossbow arrow.

The bolt pierced his armor and struck under his collarbone, not far from his heart and neck.

Seeing Kanguru's cavalry appear on the battlefield in pursuit of his enemy, the king smiled like a child, and fainted with happiness when he gave the order to his vassals to 'march to Bordeaux'.

It wasn't until he was less than ten miles from Bordeaux that he woke up, and Kanguru felt that the king had been woken up.

Otherwise, what else could make this 'king', who had been on the road with a high fever and had been carried by his subordinates for 200 miles, suddenly wake up?

Kangguru thought about it, maybe it was the roar of the African Army.

Anyway, Kangguru doesn't think that this unlucky guy who was not killed by the gun but was injured by a crossbow arrow is the king, if he is the king, then we Kangguru are also the king, Harbin, oh I don't mean the Hada Ministry, the Hada Ministry is much more than Navarre.

Pale and sweaty, bare-chested and covered in white cloth, Henry Bourbon pushed away his doctors and vassals, stumbled slowly under the Kanguru horse, and held on to the trunk of a tree and looked in the direction of Bordeaux with dizzy eyes.

Because of the angle, he could not see Billund's royal army, and could only hear the sound of shelling one after another, but he could see that after each shelling that made his liver tremble, dense black soldiers would emerge from the earth and let out a roar that was stronger than the salvo of dozens of cannons.

Almost unconsciously, he asked in French, "What are you doing there?"

The only one who answered him was Kanguru's: "Huh? ”

After reacting, Henry smiled embarrassedly at Kanguru and asked again in Spanish, "What are they, here, doing?" ”

Kangguru could only shake his head unconsciously, booming over there, screaming here, if the sound waves could kill people, I am afraid that there would be no one left in the whole of France: "I ...... Dizzy again? ”

Alas.

Hearing the bang, Kangguru sighed in his heart, looked back at the men who had just replaced the pitchforks with the captured weapons and were covered in wounds, and said to the Baishan camp beside him: "Let these people carry their leader from the south and go into the city to heal their wounds, this little thing is dying." ”

"All dismounted, let the cattle rest, and prepare to attack them."
