Last night, Xiao Ming fell asleep after eating, and the whole night was full of scenes of bloody battles in Cangzhou City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The frightened eyes of the slave soldiers, the splatters of blood, the blood mist from the explosion of the gunpowder canister.

More than half a year ago, he was an otaku enjoying a privileged environment in the laboratory, and now he has to face this cruel war of cold weapons in order to survive.

This kind of scene is a hundred, a thousand times more terrifying than watching a street fight.

When the crowd roared and rushed over, it was a mental pressure in itself.

It's just that he has to endure this now, and he has to get used to it, because he will probably be accompanied by this kind of scene for the rest of his life.

On the city walls, the supplies that had been consumed yesterday were brought in again, and these recruits, who had never experienced war, seemed to mature a lot in one night.

Yesterday's victory taught them that barbarians are not terrible as long as they are united.

"Your Highness, it is estimated that the barbarians will not attack again in the next two days." Niu Ben looked at the barbarian camp with a monocular and said to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming was also looking at the barbarian camp, at this time there was still a bonfire burning in the barbarian camp, and the slaves were shuttled between the camps and were driven to remake the ladder and other engineering equipment.

The barbarians, on the other hand, roasted cattle and sheep around the campfire, and the smell of meat came from the bursts, which made many soldiers swallow.

"Don't be greedy, when you win, this king will let you eat meat!" Xiao Ming said to a kind of soldier.

"Hey......

The surrounding soldiers immediately burst into laughter.

Niu Ben said: "Your Highness is right, it has always been the barbarians who rob us of things, and when we win, we will also rob their cattle and sheep, so that you can eat enough." ”

"It's hard to say, when the time comes, I'll take the cavalry out of the city and then rob you of a barbarian wife back!" Lu Fei didn't know when he came over, and said rudely.

Now the soldiers laughed even louder.

In the army, the soldiers did not eat it, after all, these soldiers were basically illiterate, and it was most important to say something practical, he said: "Do you see the land outside the city? Is the land fertile? ”

"Fertile!" The soldiers shouted in unison.

Xiao Ming continued: "Well, from now on, every time you kill a barbarian, this king will promise to give you ten acres of land outside Cangzhou City, the more you kill, the more land, and one day this king will lead you to recapture Shanhaiguan, and you will become a rich man one by one." ”

"Your Highness, are you serious?" Suddenly, a soldier asked.

"This king has a spit and a nail, Captain Lu, and Governor Niu are all here." Xiao Ming said to the soldier.

The soldier showed an excited look, and he said: "Your Highness, I used to be from Youzhou, and I fled to Cangzhou, if I hit Shanhaiguan one day, can I choose a piece of land in my hometown?" ”

"Absolutely." Xiao Ming said.

The soldier nodded, his expression was firm, and he said: "Your Highness, there are many hometowns in this Qingzhou army in Youzhou, for the sake of Your Highness's words, we must have fought hard to kill the enemy." ”

Niu Ben and Xiao Ming glanced at each other and nodded with satisfaction.

In the army, a soldier's desire to fight is a very important factor in being able to win a war.

For a soldier, their desire for an expedition is basically not great, and this time the Qingzhou army was able to defend Cangzhou with high morale, and a large part of the factor was that they had their land and parents behind them.

And in the future, if Shanhaiguan is to be recaptured, these soldiers will have relatively little desire.

At this time, the desire of the soldiers who originally lived in Youzhou will be stronger.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming had an idea, "Niu Dudu, this king wants to establish a special army, the name is Guanning Iron Cavalry. ”

"Guanning Iron Horse?" Niu Ben looked playful, and he said: "If I guessed correctly, this pass should be Shanhaiguan, this is Ning Yuan, it seems that His Highness's goal is long-term." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, this Guanning Iron Cavalry is actually the three armies with the strongest combat ability in the late modern Ming Dynasty, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry is one of them.

Because at that time, the strategy of guarding the Liao land with the Liao people and raising the Liao people with the Liao soil was pursued, and the elite was selected from the Liao people, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry was formed that later made the Jin army fearful.

Xiao Ming's purpose this time is the same, it is to form a cavalry with the old tribe and the old people of King Yong, and this cavalry will inevitably fight against the barbarians with all its strength in the homeland.

"Exactly." Xiao Ming then told Niu Ben his thoughts.

Niu Ben nodded, "Well, Your Highness is thoughtful, and the last general admires it, but the Great Yu Country lacks horses, and the horses of the cavalry formed here are a problem." ”

"Without horses, we will find a way to snatch them from the barbarians." Xiao Ming said as he looked at the herds of horses in the barbarian camp.

Niu Ben shook his head, he didn't believe that he could snatch horses from the barbarians in this situation.

The defense of the city is not enough, and the attack is not to mention.

As Niu Ben said, for three consecutive days, the Huyantuo tribe has not attacked the city again.

On the evening of the third day, a large army appeared to the north of the camp in Huyanta.

Through the binoculars, Xiao Ming saw a wolf's head painted on the banner displayed in the army, which was a royal flag that only the barbarian khans had the right to carry.

At the same time, four artillery pieces from the Instruments Division also arrived in Cangzhou City, along with 500 gunpowder canisters and a lot of granular gunpowder.

That night, Xiao Ming ordered the soldiers to set up all the artillery on the fort.

This time, the barbarian army could not be seen at a glance, and he could not judge how many barbarian troops had come.

But just this scale, I'm afraid the number of slave soldiers will be enough for him to have a headache.

The big battle was approaching, and the atmosphere in the city suddenly became solemn, and everyone had a heavy look on their faces.

"Can you hold it?" It's a question mark on everyone's mind, but the answer will soon be solved......

Barbarian tents.

Gurtai and Liu Xuan entered the king's tent at the same time, and a tall man like an iron tower was sitting inside, Gurtai looked a little unhappy, and said, "Beishan Taiji, didn't the Great Khan come?" ”

This person is Bei Shan, who is the envoy in Chang'an City, and he said: "How can a small Cangzhou city need to be visited by Father Khan. ”

"Isn't that Beishan Taiji carrying the royal banner disrespectful to the Great Khan?" Gultai's voice was a little hoarse.

Bei Shan stood up from his seat and said, "This is the order of Father Khan, a Wang Qi is just here to scare these soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom, what?" Was the head of the Gurtai banner dissatisfied with the orders of his father Khan? ”

"How dare I disobey the words of the Great Khan." Gultai said.

Bei Shan sneered, this Gurtai has always been very close to his eldest brother, and he has never been kind to him.

After all, it will be his eldest brother who will inherit the throne in the future, and he will only go to a remote place to establish his khanate.
