Chapter 180: Night Attack

When Zhan Xingchang came out of the barbarian camp, the surrounding barbarian soldiers whistled contemptuously. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This time he was in charge of negotiating with the barbarians, but he hadn't seen that Beishan Taiji.

He was met by a Han man named Liu Xuan.

He immediately put forward the conditions for the surrender of the king of Qi: the barbarians withdrew from Shanhaiguan and assigned Youzhou and other places to the king of Qi, and from then on the king of Qi was a vassal to the barbarians.

This condition, of course, belonged to the lion's mouth, and as he expected, nothing came of it.

And the condition given by the barbarians at the same time is to open the gate of Cangzhou, they will not harm the king of Qi, they can give the king of Qi a state as a fief.

Zhan Xingchang naturally would not agree.

However, Zhan Xingchang did not refuse, but said to return to the city to ask King Qi.

"Your Highness, this time we can delay for three or five days before going out to continue talking." Zhan Xingchang said, "But in my opinion, this barbarian doesn't seem to be too sad about this matter, and I feel that it seems to be a delaying tactic." ”

"This Bei Shan has always been unruly, so it's hard to predict what he's going to do next, just calm the brakes, but this negotiation is generally negotiated while fighting."

After speaking, he said to Luo Xin: "Don't be idle tonight, just give a few shots to the barbarian camp if you have nothing to do, so that they don't want to sleep peacefully." ”

"Your Highness, leave this matter to me." Luo Xin said bloodthirstily.

This negotiation was originally dispensable, Xiao Ming was just shabu Bei Shan, but he knew that Bei Shan could also be shabu him.

In that case, everyone continues to hurt each other.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry, this siege is better than the defender.

After a day of fighting, the sky gradually darkened, and in the evening, when the barbarians were cooking on the fire, suddenly the artillery on the city wall rang out, and one by one the black solid bullets flew towards the barbarian camp.

In the glasses, there was a confusion among the barbarians who were eating, and many of them were hit by shells.

Beshan was eating at this time, and this movement startled him, and he immediately ran out of the tent and protected himself with his shield, for fear of being hit by an iron egg.

At this time, Gurtai was pointing to the city wall of Cangzhou and jumping to his feet and scolding, they could not have imagined that as soon as the negotiating envoy left, the defenders would attack.

The barbarians who were eating immediately regrouped, but they waited for a long time and there was no second sound.

There was no other movement on the walls, so he decided to eat again.

When night fell, the bonfires in the barbarian camp were particularly dazzling, and these barbarians obviously didn't know that the defenders of Cangzhou City looked at them much more clearly than they looked at the defenders of Cangzhou.

Luo Xin was always on the city wall, he always kept an eye on the barbarian camp with a telescope, and every once in a while, he would shoot at the barbarian camp.

Then the barbarian camp will be chaotic for a while, after all, no one wants to be crushed to death by an iron ball in their dreams.

This fear made many barbarian cavalry unable to sleep at all, but kept staring at the fire on the city wall.

They found that the Iron Egg would always come to the camp after the fire, so whenever they saw the fire, they ran around trying to escape.

At this time, Bei Shan also couldn't sleep, although the guards held shields to protect him.

He couldn't sleep, one because of the constant sound of artillery, and the other because he was waiting for news that the walls had been blown open.

It's just that he soon saw a fire lit up under the Cangzhou city wall, and the defenders of Cangzhou City seemed to pour fire oil below.

"Cheer me up at night, Your Highness said, this barbarian may send someone to touch it at night and plant explosives, and then we will go to heaven together."

Tonight is the vigil by Lu Fei.

He poured the oil down, and the corpses piled up under the city and the broken ladder burst into flames in an instant.

Ever since Xiao Ming saw that the barbarians were planning to use the method of burying gunpowder to break the city, he asked the defenders on the city wall to keep an eye out for the slave soldiers who were digging holes.

Therefore, every time such a slave soldier appeared, the defenders at the head of the city would always be the first to shoot them.

"Yes, Captain." The soldier was frightened by Lu Fei's words, and the originally sleepy man immediately opened his eyes.

As they were talking, they suddenly saw a figure in a corner that was not covered in flames, and a soldier shouted: "There is someone down there! ”

Suddenly, the arrows immediately flew to that corner, and screams came out one after another.

But this figure fell, and another wave of figures followed.

Lu Fei frowned, picked up a torch and threw it down, and the dense slave soldiers shone in the firelight.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the slave soldiers attacked the city again.

"Throw the powder canister, quick!" Lu Fei shouted.

This barbarian is also really cunning, in order not to be targeted by artillery, he even took advantage of the night to attack.

"Boom!" The voice sounded again.

This immediately alarmed everyone in the city, and Xiao Ming, who had just fallen asleep, immediately got up and climbed the city wall, and at this time, there were bursts of shouts of killing from the city.

At the same time, the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the sky was heard, and the barbarian archers also hid in the darkness to shoot.

In the dark, the Cangzhou defenders could not see the barbarians hiding in them, so they could only counterattack indiscriminately, and the casualties increased sharply compared to the day for a while.

"Powder canisters were thrown under the city walls." Xiao Ming went up to the city wall and immediately shouted.

At this time, Beishan organized an attack, and the only purpose was to bury the powder keg under the city wall, and he must not be allowed to succeed at this time.

Therefore, at this time, there is no longer any need to scruple about consuming gunpowder jars.

The shieldmen built a shield wall in the darkness, and the soldiers at the head of the city kept throwing powder jars down.

Screams and explosions piled up layer after layer of corpses under the city.

Looking at the barbarian camp in the distance, which had been completely plunged into darkness, Xiao Ming's expression was serious, this Bei Shan was really a difficult character to deal with.

The artillery had no target, so naturally it could not be fired, and the night was destined to be difficult.

After another night of fierce fighting, more than 600 gunpowder canisters were consumed overnight, and a thick layer of corpses piled up under the city walls.

However, these gunpowder canisters were not thrown in vain, and the corpses of the slave soldiers had already filled the trenches by this time, and naturally the holes dug by the barbarians underneath had also been filled.

It wouldn't be so easy to dig a hole in the wall.

"Your Highness, if this continues, the powder jar will not be enough." Luo Xin worried.

I wanted to save on the use of gunpowder jars, but Bei Shan's move completely broke Xiao Ming's plan, if there were a few more night attacks like this, I am afraid that the city wall would really be finished.

Niu Ben saw Xiao Ming's concern, and he said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, don't worry, the sharpness of the artillery is unstoppable, which can naturally thwart the barbarians, but how did Your Highness forget that the victory or defeat of the war lies in every citizen of the Great Yu Kingdom, and when there is no artillery and gunpowder canisters, we can still use our flesh and blood to block the barbarians' attacks." ”

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, he looked at the soldiers on the city wall, yes, when there is nothing, at least he still has these soldiers who are not afraid of death, what is he afraid of!
