Chapter 260: Confrontation

Chagatai's pupils at this time were only the firelight that kept rising in front of the Cangzhou city and the moat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It had been an hour, the slave soldiers rushed over in waves, the last wave disappeared, and at a moment, he suddenly felt that Cangzhou City was so far away.

"Go back, go back! Give me all back! ”

Another wave of slave soldiers returned from a rout, unwilling to charge again, and the sight of corpses flying broke through the last line of defense in their hearts.

Kuha ran back and forth on the battlefield with a saber, and each swing of the saber would take the life of a slave soldier, but it still did not stop the fleeing slave soldiers.

Gu Duo's gaze was deep, he also participated in the battle of Cangzhou last time, and there were more artillery pieces at the head of Cangzhou City this time than last time.

Moreover, there were more trebuchets in front of the trenches, and thirty more cannons appeared between the trebuchets, which were never fired, and the muzzles of the black holes were deep and terrifying.

Guduo understood that the shells in these cannons were more deadly, and the cavalry who entered the city gate last time died under this kind of artillery.

At the head of Cangzhou City, Xiao Ming silently watched the offensive and defensive battles below, the explosion of the gunpowder jar was like a flaming flower that began to spread on the grassland, beautiful but very deadly.

Waves of gunpowder canisters were projected, leaving the bones of the slave soldiers who rushed over, and even if a few were lucky enough to enter the trench, they were killed by the soldiers who handled the trench.

"Now the barbarians can only fill the trenches with their lives." Niu Ben said.

The five-hundred-meter-long circle of trenches could not be passed by the barbarian cavalry at all, and now they could only rely on the slave soldiers for the attack.

Zhan Xingchang said: "This time, we don't seek victory or defeat, just ask for a procrastination, just wait for good news from the grassland." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, he also saw the chaos on the battlefield, this time a ferocious firepower caused the slave soldiers to continue to disperse, and there was even a riot in the rear of the barbarians.

After all, these slave soldiers have never been of the same mind as the barbarians, but they are only coerced by the barbarians.

Now they had to make a choice before they could die or leave them alone.

The three of them were talking, when suddenly the barbarian attack stopped, and Xiao Ming saw that there seemed to be chaos in the barbarian ranks.

He immediately picked up his binoculars and saw only the barbarian cavalry fighting with a group of slave soldiers.

"Your Highness, there are slave soldiers who have rebelled!" Niu Ben was pleasantly surprised.

Zhan Xingchang also picked up the binoculars and looked at it carefully, indeed, some shabby slave soldiers were fighting with the barbarian cavalry, and the horror of the artillery and gunpowder canisters finally made these slave soldiers' anger against the barbarians reach the limit.

Since they are all dead, they naturally want to vent their anger on the barbarians.

"What should I do?" Zhan Xingchang asked Xiao Mingdao.

"Wait and see." Xiao Ming said that he couldn't rush out at this time, after all, this was just a small chaos, and it was estimated that only a few waves of slave soldiers were resisting.

If you give up your defense at this time and take the opportunity to attack, I am afraid that you will be seized by the barbarians.

Sure enough, the rebellion was soon suppressed, but the barbarians did not attack again, but seemed to be purging the slave soldiers.

"Consume, the last thing we are afraid of now is consumption." Xiao Ming said lightly.

Niu Ben nodded when he heard this.

At this time, the barbarian camp.

Chagatai's eyes were gloomy, just now a group of thousands of slave soldiers refused to attack, and suddenly attacked the cavalry, although these thousand people were quickly suppressed, but this situation that never appeared also made him have to realize a problem.

In just three months, Cangzhou City's defense capability has risen to another level, and now the army of the King of Qi has dared to use trenches to fight them in the field, which has never been done in this Great Yu Kingdom.

And he thought to himself that he had never seen such a difficult army.

At this time, he finally believed Bei Shan's words, and the future battlefield belonged to gunpowder.

"Suspend the offense." Chagatai gave the order at this time, and at this time he finally understood Gurtai's mood at that time.

Slave soldiers are also one of the strengths of the tribe, and if these slave soldiers are consumed, they will have to charge on their own.

"Flag leader, don't you fight?" The hatred in Kuha's eyes grew stronger with each day.

At this time, he just wanted to enter Cangzhou City to avenge his wife.

Gu Duo said: "If you continue to rush, you will only bury the slave soldiers in vain." ”

"The lives of these slave soldiers are not their lives in the first place, so what does it matter if they are sent more." Kuha said with red eyes.

Gu Duo said angrily: "Stupid, our purpose is only to destroy the city wall, if it is definitely not worth losing too many troops here, Beishan Taiji will not be happy." ”

Chagatai looked at Guduo, this was exactly what he was thinking now, if the cost of destroying this wall was too great, he was unwilling to continue.

After all, the final result was that he lost a large number of soldiers and horses and only destroyed a city wall, and the army of the Great Yu State could be built again within a month, so it was not worth the calculation.

Therefore, he temporarily stopped the attack and prepared to send someone to tell Bei Shan about the current situation, and if Bei Shan still asked to continue the siege, he would have to continue to obey the order.

After all, although he is Bei Shan's person, he also has his own selfishness, if the blood wolf tribe is reduced to the Huyantuo tribe, then he will soon be abandoned by Bei Shan.

The barbarians stopped attacking, and the artillery fire at the head of Cangzhou City also stopped, and the two sides confronted each other one mile apart.

Night fell quickly, and the soldiers in the trenches did not let their guard down, they remembered the night attack of the barbarians, so they were more focused, but the night seemed to be peaceful, and the barbarians did not attack.

The next day, the barbarians still didn't move.

However, the barbarians did not move, but Lu Fei and the others kept moving, and with the experience of the last time, the two cavalry were even more comfortable on the grassland.

Moreover, the barbarians raised a large army to attack Cangzhou, and the rear was empty.

It's just that because of the last attack, the scouts of the barbarian tribes are often patrolling outside, beware of sudden attacks by the army of the Great Yu Kingdom.

Therefore, this time when he entered the grassland, Lu Fei abandoned the last night attack, and instead adopted a violent attack, once a weak tribe was found, the cavalry directly attacked.

Even if he was discovered by the scouts, he did not give the scouts time to go back and report the news, because when the barbarian scouts arrived at the camp, they followed closely, although they could not all be annihilated, but they could always kill the barbarians in a tribe.

This time their purpose was different from before, mainly to force the barbarian army to return to defense, so they did not seek total annihilation, only pursued efficiency, and in just two days, Lei Ming and Lu Fei's team attacked more than a dozen barbarian tribes.

For a while, the blood wolf tribe was in turmoil, and the news of the reappearance of the army of the Great Yu Kingdom spread quickly, and the tribe sent people to Cangzhou City for help.

And this time they found that the cavalry attacking them was even more numerous. (To be continued.) )
