Chapter 181: Running Out of Ammunition and Food

Brutal wars are always going on and long. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the night attack, Cangzhou City and the barbarians began a tug-of-war, repeating the siege every day, leaving a corpse behind, retreating, and then attacking again.

Zhan Xingchang went out and came back, talked and talked, and nonsense, and after he left, the defenders either shelled the barbarian camp, or it was another night attack.

On the fifth day, Xiao Ming's gunpowder canister was finally consumed, and there were less than 300 shells left in the artillery.

However, the consumption of these ammunition also paid off as it should be, and the barbarian regular army, which was hiding behind the slave soldiers, finally came to the fore after consuming the slave soldiers.

There were also soldiers in the Qingzhou Army who fell forever, but the auxiliaries silently put on the armor of the casualties, picked up their weapons, and stood in their positions.

At this time, the expressions of each soldier were tired, but their eyes shone with unprecedented ferocity.

The grind of war turned them from an ordinary ordinary person into a real soldier.

Their spirits are high, their wills are as strong as steel, and they are sworn to defend their homeland to the death.

"It's finally here, phew!"

Lu Fei stared at the barbarian soldiers who rushed to the city wall under the city.

These barbarian soldiers had a cold expression, and their shouting voices were full of murderous aura, unlike the slave soldiers, these real barbarian soldiers looked fierce and as dangerous as hungry wolves.

But at this moment, they have the advantage, and these days they have been the slave soldiers who have been dying for them, and they have been waiting for them for ten days.

However, the Cangzhou defenders fought continuously for more than ten days, which is the cunning of the barbarians.

Taking advantage of this way of warfare, which was shameless by the Great Yu State, they captured one city after another, one country after another.

Niu Ben also threw down his bow and arrows at this time, and he held a sharp sword in his hand, just waiting for the moment when the barbarian soldiers climbed the city wall.

The stones were gone, the logs were gone, the oil was gone, the arrows of the bows and arrows were gone, and all they had left was the steel knives in their hands.

The barbarians seemed to understand this, and at this point they could not help but show their sharp teeth.

In the camp, Bei Shan smiled, but there was still some bitterness in this smile.

A mere 20,000 defenders stopped them for ten days, and nearly 100,000 slave soldiers were killed or wounded, the most difficult battle he had ever faced.

If it was before, he might have ordered a retreat, but this time he didn't, and he directly told him that he had to kill the seven princes of the Great Yu Kingdom.

If he can do it now, it will be a nightmare for the barbarians when he really grows up.

At the same time, he also longed for the weapons in the city, and only by mastering this weapon, the cities of the Great Yu Kingdom would not be an obstacle in front of him.

"Snow Wolf Guard! Kill! ”

One thought after another floated by, Bei Shan raised the scimitar in his hand, and the most elite army under his command launched a charge towards Cangzhou City.

Cangzhou City, looking at the barbarian soldiers like a tide, Niu Ben shouted: "Formation!" ”

Immediately, the Qingzhou army on the city wall turned into a formation with sword and shield hands in front and spearmen in the back.

The "boom ......" artillery sounded again at this time.

Solid catapults shot out, bouncing in the brute to kill and injure one brute after another, bringing up strings of blood mist.

But the number of brute soldiers was too large, and thirty artillery pieces seemed very inconspicuous at this moment, and after three hundred shells were fired, thousands of enemies were killed, and the artillerymen took up arms at this time.

The ladder was leaned against the city wall, and the barbarian soldiers swarmed up, and the first barbarian soldier appeared on the wall of Cangzhou City.

"Thorn!" With a shout, the first barbarian soldier to rush forward was impaled by several spears and fell from the city wall screaming.

Immediately after that, one brute after another came up from the cloud ladder, and the number became more and more, and some of the barbarians nimbly dodged the spears and rushed down, and they slashed the scimitars in their hands on the armor of the Qingzhou army.

With a "bang", the Qingzhou army that was cut was intact, and the barbarian soldier was stunned.

"Die!" The soldier roared in anger and slashed off the brute's head with a single sword.

Xiao Ming wore armor to fight with the soldiers, and he did not hide in the city, because he knew that as long as he was there, it would be a banner that would not fall.

When the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army saw their vassal king fighting side by side with them, they would fight bravely to kill the enemy.

At this time, the brute soldiers kept jumping down from the ladder, and the two sides immediately fought together.

And at this time, these barbarians realized that they were all wrong, the most terrifying thing on this city wall was not the weapon that could spray flames at all, but the seamless hard armor of the Qingzhou army.

Their scimitars slashed at the Qingzhou Army soldiers and could not kill them at once, and the second slash would kill the opponent.

These days, the Qingzhou army has been killed and wounded by bows and arrows, but it has suffered the least losses in real close combat, and these steel cans are blocked on the city wall at this time, which is tantamount to a steel city wall.

"Ahh A brute jumped off the city wall and rushed directly towards Xiao Ming.

Zhao Long and Zhao Hu were fighting with the brute soldiers at this time, although Xiao Ming had not exercised during this time, the foundation of the predecessor was still there.

In the past, Xiao Ming could be described as a skilled archer.

Out of instinct, Xiao Ming dodged the scimitar swung by the barbarian, kicked the barbarian to the ground, and the long sword in his hand pierced the barbarian's heart fiercely.

Blood flowed out of the mouth of the brute, Xiao Ming's expression was cold, and the grinding on the battlefield had made him indifferent to death, whether it was to himself or to the enemy.

Killing this barbarian, Xiao Ming inadvertently looked into the city, only to see several carriages galloping in the city, coming towards him, with bags one after another on them.

At this time, the auxiliaries of the city immediately carried the things from the cart and transported them to the city wall.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Zhao Long's voice sounded.

Xiao Ming was in this king's immediate short body, and a cold wind swept over his head.

Turning around, a barbarian soldier was behind him, and he rolled to the side of the brute, raising his sword and stabbing into the brute's body.

There were more and more brute soldiers rushing onto the city wall, but Xiao Ming obviously saw that the Qingzhou army had an absolute advantage in close combat.

One is the high quality brought by the protective effect of the plate armor, and the other is the high quality brought by the condescending one.

It is no wonder that the ancients said that if you don't have five times the number of troops, you must not attack the city.

In the barbarian camp, Bei Shan's expression became more and more ugly, he thought that he could easily defeat the defenders at the head of the city by climbing the city wall, but the fact was that every group of soldiers who climbed the city would soon be drowned in the silver torrent of steel.

He said to Gultai: "What are you waiting for, let your men blow the gates open for me with powder kegs. ”

Gurtai nodded, and immediately ordered the soldiers to carry a huge wooden barrel and move towards Cangzhou City.

At this time, Bei Shan said again: "Cavalry preparation! ”

He gradually understood that they could not win without cavalry superiority.
