"Retreat, retreat!"

Looking at the slave soldiers scattered like a tide on the top of the city, many soldiers shouted excitedly. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

A smile rose at the corner of Niu Ben's mouth, and he said, "Your Highness, the artillery has scared the enemy. ”

"The first time they saw this powerful and gratuitous weapon, it was normal to be scared at first, but when they got acquainted with it, it was the real bloody battle." Xiao Ming said.

Niu Ben nodded silently, undeniable.

Up to now, they have basically come into contact with slave soldiers, and have not really fought with the barbarians, who are the main force in this war.

They have been using slave soldiers to consume the soldiers, ammunition, and defense materials of the Qingzhou Army.

"Your Highness, the powder canisters and artillery should be left for use at the last moment, I'm worried about ......," Niu Ben said after a moment's hesitation.

It is also a question that Xiao Ming is thinking about, until now there has been no sign of the barbarians dispatching, if the gunpowder canisters and shells are exhausted at this time, the last moment will be really difficult.

Because at this time, similar to Tian Ji horse racing, the barbarian has been using inferior soldiers to consume his superior soldiers.

"Stop shooting!"

At this time, Xiao Ming shouted.

Lu Fei, who was excited because of the power of the artillery, came over in confusion, and said, "Your Highness, why is this?" It's hard to make these brutes suffer. ”

Xiao Ming ignored him, but looked at Luo Xin, "How many gunpowder canisters and cannonballs are there?" ”

Luo Xin was in excitement, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt a little chill in his back, and he said: "There are more than 1,500 gunpowder canisters left, and there are still 2,300 shells. ”

Lu Fei understood what Xiao Ming meant at this time, and he stomped his feet depressedly, "This Chen Wenlong and Chen Qi are too, why can't they prepare more, what can I do now?" Just these slave soldiers can drain the powder canisters and cannonballs. ”

"The return cannon has been destroyed, from now on the gunpowder canisters and artillery are saved, the time is in a hurry, and the equipment department can't prepare too much ammunition, and now we have to delay." Xiao Ming analyzed.

Niu Ben nodded and said: "That's right, the barbarians have traveled a long distance, and the logistics of this grain and grass are much more troublesome than ours, and they have a large number of people, just the daily food and grass are countless, this Huyantuo tribe has to gnaw the bones and have no bones left, and we are just when the wheat is ripe, this large amount of grain and grass will arrive soon, and the longer the time, the more artillery and shells we will have." ”

Lu Fei and Luo Xin nodded, and Lu Fei said, "But I'm afraid this barbarian clan won't give us time to delay." ”

As the four of them were talking, suddenly a sharp arrow flew from the barbarian camp.

When he arrived at the head of the city, the arrow was obviously a little weak, but Niu Ben moved quickly and grabbed the arrow in his hand.

"Your Highness, there's a letter on it." Niu Ben said.

Xiao Ming glanced at the barbarian cavalry who turned around and went back, and said, "Take it apart and take a look." ”

Niu Ben took down the letter, glanced at it and handed it to Xiao Ming: "The person on the other side is really Taiji Beishan of the barbarians, and he is persuading His Highness to surrender." ”

In his heart, Bei Shan wrote: Thinking of the friendship between the Great Yu State and the Golden Horde for many years, I don't want to see the lives of Cangzhou City, if the King of Qi is willing to surrender, this Taiji can guarantee His Royal Highness and safety, if you are obsessed, Cangzhou City will definitely not be left behind.

"Hahaha, this Bei Shan is interesting, in that case, who wants to go out of the city to negotiate with the barbarians." Xiao Ming said suddenly.

Lu Fei was immediately annoyed when he heard this, and he said angrily: "Your Highness wants to be the thief who surrenders, and I, Lu Fei, am the first to refuse!" ”

"Xiao Ming, I really misjudged you, I still came all the way from Chang'an to join you, and now the victory is in hand, but you want to surrender, I won't agree!" Luo Xin said angrily.

Niu Ben sighed, "You two fools, don't you know what a delaying tactic is?" ”

Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly, and when he saw Zhan Xingchang standing in front of him, Zhan Xingchang said: "Your Highness, it seems that I am the only one suitable to go." ”

"You really want to go, Bei Shan's temperament is fickle, and it is very likely that you will not go back if you go." Xiao Ming said.

Zhan Xingchang's expression was light, and he said: "The Lu of the Eater, the Matter of Loyalty, the Head and the Tail, the Husband!" ”

Only at the moment of danger can you see the quality of a person, and Zhan Xingchang's thin body suddenly became tall in Xiao Ming's eyes.

Lu Fei and Luo Xin had already understood at this time, and they all looked at Zhan Xingchang with admiration, Lu Fei said: "Zhan Sima, I have offended a lot before, and I hope to forgive me, but I didn't expect you to be a real man." ”

Zhan Xingchang hugged his fists and said: "It's all for His Highness, you go into battle to kill the enemy, I'm just showing my tongue." ”

He then turned to Xiao Ming, "Without further ado, Your Highness should let me out of the city." ”

This time, Xiao Ming just wanted to fool Bei Shan, so this matter would be very dangerous, he nodded and patted Zhan Xingchang on the shoulder.

Niu Ben asked people to take the pen, ink, paper and inkstone at this time, and Xiao Ming also wrote a letter, meaning that it was okay to surrender, but it was necessary to negotiate to clarify the conditions for surrender.

Using the same method, Niu Ben used a bow and arrow to shoot the letter.

In the barbarian tent, Bei Shan's face was gloomy, and the power of artillery and gunpowder canisters was vividly visible.

After this retreat, the morale of the slave soldiers was greatly reduced.

Although the barbarian soldiers in the back continued to shoot and kill the scattered slave soldiers, they were still unable to resist the rout.

This forced them to rebuild before they could re-attack, and the experience of dealing with the Western Regions led him to decide to surrender.

Although he himself did not believe in surrendering when the Cangzhou defenders had an advantage, he was idle, and he would never give up any opportunity.

It was only when the letter of surrender was sent that he suddenly found that the artillery fire at the head of the city had suddenly stopped.

After a while, the scout delivered a letter.

"Negotiate!" Bei Shan's expression was wonderful, "King Qi actually agreed to surrender. ”

Liu Xuan was almost stunned when he heard this, which was completely beyond his understanding, and he said: "Taiji, this King of Qi is insidious and cunning, I am afraid this is a plan to delay the army." ”

Bei Shan smiled, "It's naturally good, it's okay if it's not, everyone is delaying the army." ”

After a pause, he said to Gurtai: "Take advantage of the night tonight, and you must blow up the city walls." ”

"Yes." Gultai said.

In these attacks, his slave soldiers suffered heavy losses, and although he was unwilling in his heart, he did not dare to disobey Bei Shan's orders at this time.

On the battlefield, there are many banner leaders who were beheaded by this Beishan Taiji for disobeying orders.

After waiting for a while, Bei Shan saw a person coming down from the wall of Cangzhou City, presumably a messenger sent.

Bei Shan said to Liu Xuan at this time: "You Han people know the Han people best, you can handle this matter, if the King of Qi really surrenders, you come and find me again." ”
