Chapter 172: The Bloodstained Battlefield

In the early morning, wisps of cooking smoke floated in Cangzhou City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

If it weren't for the soldiers running back and forth in the city, Xiao Ming would even suspect that he had returned to the mountain village of his childhood.

However, after living here for a while, this place is just like the countryside for him.

In the past, he always thought that the ancient royal family lived like on TV, but when he came here, he found that this royal food was similar to that of modern ordinary people.

This is not a problem of material shortage, but the level of science and technology.

Xiao Ming didn't fall asleep last night, facing a large-scale cold weapon war, he was not strong enough to be like a nobody.

After hastily eating a bowl of rice porridge and meatloaf brought by the pothos, he put on a tailor-made armor and climbed the city wall.

At this time, all the soldiers were already on guard on the city walls, and many of the people in the city had gathered under the walls, ready to help at any time.

The news brought by Luo Xin and Lu Fei last night means that the first wave of attacks on Cangzhou City is coming.

"Your Highness, here!"

Before noon, the sky was like a dark cloud drifting, black and oppressive, at this time, Niu Ben pointed to the north and said to Xiao Ming.

Picking up the binoculars, Xiao Ming looked over, and through the magnified image, he saw a large area of barbarian cavalry.

Lu Fei and Luo Xin immediately went to their positions at this time.

Because the area of the city wall is very long, there is a captain in charge of each distance, and Niu Ben is responsible for the scheduling of the entire battle.

"I'm afraid our trap won't work." Putting down the binoculars, Xiao Ming sighed.

Standing beside him was Zhan Xingchang, who was also using a telescope to observe, "The barbarians have driven so many slaves to go ahead, and our trap is about to end." ”

Before the barbarian cavalry, there were slaves tied up with ropes, and these slaves were the same as the people of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and they were once clearly the people of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

Niu Ben said: "There is no way to do this, the barbarians will definitely use slaves to charge the battle before attacking, Your Highness, you can't be soft-hearted at this time, they are indeed the people of the Great Yu Kingdom, but behind you are also the people of the Great Chongqing Kingdom." ”

"At that time, Shanhaiguan was precisely because King Yong's heart was soft-hearted for a while, and he let these driven people into the city before the battle, but he never thought that some of these slaves had been willing to become the eagle dogs of the barbarians, which led to the city gate being seized and the barbarian cavalry taking advantage of the situation to enter." Niu Ben continued.

Xiao Ming nodded lightly, in the wars of the past and present, there are countless such examples.

The figure of the barbarian cavalry is getting closer and closer, a thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters.

Finally, at five hundred meters, the barbarian cavalry stopped, the battlefield was silent, and the defenders of the city would be the cavalry who were staring at the barbarians.

And the barbarian cavalry also stared at the soldiers in silver armor in the city.

The two sides confronted each other for a while, and suddenly a loud horn sounded from the barbarian array, and the barbarian cavalry suddenly dismounted, and the slaves who were driven were skilled in taking all kinds of things from their horses.

"They're camping in place." Niu Ben said at this time.

The Huyantuo tribe is a pure nomadic tribe, where the cattle and sheep go, where is the station, this time the Huyantuo tribe is with slaves, driving cattle and sheep over.

"It seems that the barbarians are preparing to besiege Cangzhou City."

Xiao Ming glanced at the artillery wrapped in black cloth on the city wall, the range of the artillery he produced this time was between three and four miles, and the distance of the barbarian garrison was within the range at this time.

A shot can definitely hit them on their backs, but no matter how itchy they are, they have to endure it.

Because the really important role has not yet appeared, if the Great Khan of the barbarians really appears, then it will be the time for the artillery to be fired.

The barbarians camped leisurely, and the soldiers of the city could only watch.

There is no way, these barbarian soldiers are cavalry when they get on their horses, and infantry when they get off their horses.

At this time, if you send cavalry to attack, you will face 20,000 cavalry, and there will be no return.

"There's a slave coming." Niu Ben suddenly sighed.

Xiao Ming saw that in the Huyantuo tribe that was camping at this time, a part of the slaves suddenly walked towards Cangzhou City.

These slaves lined up and walked towards Cangzhou City step by step.

Zhan Xingchang gritted his teeth, "These barbarians have simply lost their conscience, and they don't treat the people of my Dayu Kingdom as human beings at all. ”

"Isn't it just a human being, don't you know another name for the people of the Great Yu Country by the barbarians?"

"What!" Zhan Xingchang asked.

Niu Ben looked at the slave who was advancing towards death and said, "Two-legged sheep! ”

"Two-legged sheep!" Xiao Ming's brows furrowed slightly, this term has appeared in modern history, this two-legged sheep is a sheep with only two legs as the name suggests.

At that time, China was in the era of Wuhu Chaohua, and the Han people, known as the two-legged sheep, were not only the slaves of the barbarians, but also the food of the barbarians, from which the two-legged sheep came.

Niu Ben continued: "When the barbarians invaded Youzhou, there was a shortage of food, and the barbarians at that time fed on the Han people, which is the origin of the two-legged sheep. ”

These words made Zhan Xingchang clench his fists, he had never thought that the barbarians would be so vicious.

"Ahh

A scream came, and the slave who was walking on the grass suddenly fell into the trap, and suddenly a burst of screams came from the dirt pit.

At this moment, a loud laugh came from the mouth of the barbarian cavalry who followed the slave.

On the city walls, the soldiers watched everything, and the weapons they held turned white from too much force.

They knew what the barbarians were laughing at, and they were laughing at the traps they had worked so hard to dig could only kill their own people.

Xiao Ming watched everything silently, this is war, a battlefield where everything is done, there is no mercy on this battlefield, there is no sympathy, the only purpose of both sides is to kill each other.

The expelled slaves panicked, and they hesitated to advance, which angered the barbarian cavalry, who swung their scimitars and slashed at the slaves who refused to advance.

A terrible cry rang out over the empty battlefield, and the slaves trembled and marched forward again.

One by one, the traps were destroyed, and the barbarian cavalry finally stopped two hundred meters away, and at this time there were only about a hundred slaves left of the five hundred in front of them.

At this time, the barbarian cavalry took out their bows and arrows and continued to shout at the slaves to advance.

"Your Highness, you can't let these slaves advance anymore, otherwise all the traps will be over." Zhan Xingchang almost gritted his teeth and said, this is the hatred of the barbarians.

Looking at the barbarian cavalry standing two hundred meters away, Niu Ben took a soldier and handed over the bow and arrow, and he said: "Your Highness, there must be no woman's kindness at this time, a war may only change because of a few traps." ”

"The old general will dispose of it himself."

Xiao Ming's expression was solemn, it turned out that this was the battle to defend the city.

"Whoosh!" The sound of a sharp arrow being shot, followed by a scream, Xiao Ming clearly saw a ball of blood burst out of the chest of the slave who walked in front.
