When the soldiers of the Cangzhou battalion saw Xiao Ming arrive, they trained harder and harder. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at these simple soldiers, Xiao Ming said to Lu Fei: "I'm afraid you are going to enter the grassland again." ”

"The barbarian army has been dispatched?" Lu Fei couldn't help but ask at this time.

Xiao Ming nodded, "Yes, the scouts came to report that the Blood Wolf Tribe is gathering an army and is coming to Cangzhou City, with the purpose of destroying the new city wall, this time the barbarian army is mighty, and the rear must be empty, it is a good time to attack." ”

"Hehe, the last general is waiting to go to the grassland again to get back some war horses, Your Highness, I will gather people and horses to set off now, and these recruits will also be brought this time, the best training is actual combat, this time to go out, our cavalry is much more familiar than before." Lu Fei said.

"Can they?" Xiao Ming looked at these recruits who had only been trained for a month with some concern.

"Your Highness, we basically fight night raids, and we won't fight with barbarians on horses, and it's enough for these recruits to be able to ride horses." Lu Fei said.

A month is enough time for these soldiers to learn to ride horses, after all, it is relatively easy to ride a horse alone, and the real difficulty is to be able to make various movements on horseback.

And in this regard, the soldiers of the Great Chongqing State are not as good as the barbarians.

Because of this, the cavalry of the Great Yu Kingdom always suffered when fighting against the barbarian cavalry, because the barbarians would have a kind of ability to turn around and shoot arrows while fleeing, and they were very flexible on the horse, and they would not fall off the horse's back if they were sticking to the horse.

The cavalry of the Great Yu State is not good, and there are often cases of falling off horseback.

However, what Lu Fei said this time is not unreasonable, only in actual combat can the fastest training, and at the moment of life and death, people can stimulate their greatest potential.

Considering that this sortie on the grassland was not a frontal battle, and these recruits were led by the veteran Youzi, he nodded.

After all, in this era, sometimes catching a strong man is a soldier, and training is far from being easy.

After talking to Lu Fei about this, Xiao Ming went to find Niu Ben again, and this time Xiao Ming decided to let Niu Ben stay in Cangzhou City, after all, the defenders of Cangzhou City needed him to command.

During this time, the Qingzhou army also drove from Qingzhou to Cangzhou, and the men and horses of Cangzhou City even exceeded the scale of the last Cangzhou battle.

After all, war is no trivial matter, there can be no negligence, Xiao Ming must be vigilant.

"Since the last general will not lead the troops out, and two cavalry are also needed to go out of the grassland this time, so who will lead the other cavalry?" Niu Ben asked.

Lu Fei said loudly at this time: "The last general recommends Lei Ming, this kid is from Youzhou, and he is very familiar with this part of Youzhou, this time the last general can avoid the pursuit of the barbarians in time or rely on his guidance." ”

Niu Ben nodded, although Lu Fei is a thorn, he has always been decent, and he will not be nepotistic, so this thunder must be extraordinary.

There are too few cavalry generals now, and there are a few better generals in the team with him this time, but these generals are all veterans, not from Youzhou, and this Xiao Ming's purpose of training Guanning Iron Cavalry this time is not in line.

He then said: "His Royal Highness intends to cultivate the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and this cavalry will promote more generals in Youzhou, since this is the case, let the thunder roar." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, he has also been exposed to this thunder, and he is a little clever, Youzhou will maintain the attack on the barbarians in the future, which requires someone to be stationed in Cangzhou.

Niu Ben and Lu Fei still have to sit in Qingzhou to lead the overall situation after all, and they can only be handed over to Guanning Tieqi.

And Xiao Ming has his own set of development strategies for Guanning Iron Cavalry.

It's very simple, let the Guanning Iron Horse grow independently.

In the future, he will indulge the Guanning Iron Cavalry to burn and loot on the grassland, and if he wants to expand the scale of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, he has to let them go to the grassland to grab horses and come back to train recruits.

This will be a very wild cavalry, but in order to prevent it from getting out of control, Xiao Ming will still send Changshi into the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the behavior of this army can be wild, but the thoughts cannot be wild, the army must be in his hands no matter what.

He didn't want this Guanning Iron Horse to end up becoming the Guanning Iron Horse of the Ming Dynasty.

Assigned the generals to go to the grassland this time, Niu Ben asked Lu Fei and Lei Ming to go back to rectify the soldiers and prepare to go.

And Niu Ben and Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang climbed the city tower to arrange the next defense.

The purpose of the barbarians this time was not to attack the city, but to destroy the city wall, and Xiao Ming believed that Bei Shan definitely didn't want to consume too much of his own strength in Cangzhou City at this time.

Therefore, after the three of them discussed, they decided to bomb the barbarian army indiscriminately, regardless of the consumption of ammunition.

After all, Cangzhou City has already stockpiled a lot of gunpowder during this time, and there is no need to worry about the ammunition being depleted quickly like last time.

That night, Niu Ben and Lei Ming led the cavalry to enter the grassland from the cave while it was dark, and according to the news from the scouts, the barbarian army would arrive at the city of Cangzhou tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Ming and the others got up early in the morning, all the craftsmen who built the city wall had withdrawn into the city, the Qingzhou army entered the trenches, and the trebuchets of the Cangzhou army were also ready.

A big war is on the verge of breaking out.

"Your Highness, here." At noon, Niu Ben pointed to the distance and said.

Through the binoculars, Xiao Ming saw the barbarian army pressing over like a dark cloud, and at this glance, the entire sky was black and oppressive, and the slave soldiers who walked in the front were slave soldiers.

These slave soldiers were dressed in shabby clothes and armed with a variety of weapons in their hands.

After the appearance of the barbarian army, the atmosphere of the battlefield froze unprecedentedly, and every soldier tensed his nerves, waiting for the barbarians to blow the horn of attack.

"Woo woo ......" a low horn sounded in the grassland.

The barbarians drove the slave soldiers five hundred meters away and began to storm the circle of trenches outside Cangzhou City.

On the city wall, Luo Xin stood in the middle with a red flag in his hand and frequently issued flags, and the artillerymen loaded and aimed according to the flags.

"Fire!"

Xiao Ming gave an order, and a hundred cannons on the city wall roared in unison, and the cannonballs were concentrated on the slave soldiers who rushed over.

"Ah......h

The cannonballs sent a cloud of blood through the crowd, and although the slave soldiers spread out as much as they could, the bounce of a hundred shells on the ground still killed and wounded a large number of slave soldiers.

Although these slave soldiers knew about the artillery in Cangzhou City, many of them saw it for the first time, and before many soldiers could react, they saw a string of fallen people around them, all of whom looked miserable.

And when they looked further, they saw that the soldiers who had rushed to the trench suddenly exploded into the air with an explosion, shattering their limbs and shedding a rain of blood.

Immediately afterward, all that remained in their eyes was the sight of limbs flying, and the only sound in their ears was the sound of thunderous explosions.
