Chapter 180 Night Attack
When Zhan Xingchang came out of the barbarian camp, the barbarian soldiers around him let out contemptuous whistles.
This time he was responsible for coming to negotiate with the barbarians, but he had never seen that Beishantaiji.
The one who met him was a Han man named Liu Xuan.
He immediately proposed the conditions for the King of Qi to surrender: the barbarians withdraw from Shanhaiguan and transfer Youzhou and other places to the King of Qi. From then on, the King of Qi resigned to the barbarians.
This condition of course belongs to the Lion's big talk, and as he expected, no result was achieved.
The barbarians also gave the condition that they would not harm the King of Qi, and they could give King of Qi a state as a fief.
Zhan Xingchang naturally would not agree.
However, Zhan Xingchang did not refuse at all, but said that he would return to the city to ask the King of Qi for instructions.
"Your Highness, this time we can delay for three or five days before going out to continue the talk." Zhan Xingchang said, "But in my opinion, the barbarians seem to be not too sad about this matter. I feel that it is also a delaying strategy."
"This Bei Shan has always been unruly in the battle. It is hard to predict what he will do next. Just use calmness to control it. However, this negotiation is generally negotiated while fighting."
After saying that, he said to Luo Xin: "Don't be idle tonight. Just give the barbarian camp a few shots so that they can't sleep well even if they have nothing to do."
"Your Highness, leave this matter to me." Luo Xin said bloodthirstyly.
This negotiation was originally dispensable, and Xiao Ming was just tying Bei Shan, but he knew that Bei Shan might be tying him.
Since that's the case, everyone will continue to hurt each other.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry, so the siege is always more anxious than the defenders.
After a day of fighting, the sky gradually darkened. When the barbarians were cooking in the evening, cannons suddenly flew on the city walls, and black solid bullets flew towards the barbarian camp.
In the glasses, the barbarians who were eating were in chaos, and many barbarians were hit by shells.
Bei Shan was having a meal at this time, and the movement scared him. He immediately ran out of the tent and held a shield to protect himself, for fear of being hit by an iron egg.
Gurtai was pointing at the city wall in Cangzhou and swearing. They never thought that the enemy who was negotiating had just left, the defenders attacked.
The barbarians who were eating immediately gathered again, but they waited for a long time and there was no second sound again.
There was no other movement on the city wall, so I decided to have a meal again.
As night fell, the bonfires in the barbarian camp were particularly dazzling. These barbarians obviously did not know that the Cangzhou City defenders were much clearer than they were looking at the Cangzhou defenders.
Luo Xin was always on the city wall. He always stared at the barbarian camp with his telescope. Every once in a while, he would shoot the barbarian camp.
Then the barbarian camp will be in chaos. After all, no one wants to be killed by iron balls in their dreams.
This fear made many barbarian cavalry unable to fall asleep at all, but kept staring at the fire on the city wall.
They found that every time the iron balls would always come to the camp after the fire, so whenever they saw the fire, they would run around trying to avoid it.
At this time, Bei Shan couldn't sleep either, even though the guards held up their shields to protect him.
One of him couldn't sleep was because of the constant sound of artillery, and the other was waiting for the news that the city wall was blown open.
But he soon saw a fire lit up under the walls of Cangzhou City, and the defenders of Cangzhou City seemed to be pouring tinder oil down.
"I cheered up my spirits at night. Your Highness said that this barbarian might send someone to bury explosives at night. Then we will go to heaven together."
Lu Fei will watch tonight.
He poured the tincture oil down, and the piles of corpses and broken ladders under the city burned instantly.
Since Xiao Ming saw that the barbarians planned to use gunpowder to break the city, he asked the defenders on the city wall to pay attention to the slave soldiers who dug holes.
Therefore, every time such slave soldiers appear, the defenders on the city will be the first to shoot.
"Yes, the lieutenant." The soldier was frightened by Lu Fei's words, and the sleepy person immediately opened his eyes.
As they were talking, they suddenly saw a figure in a corner that was not covered by flames, and a soldier shouted, "There are people below!"
Suddenly, the arrows immediately flew to that corner, and screams came out one after another.
But this figure fell down, and another wave of figures continued to run over.
Lu Fei frowned, picked up a torch and threw it down, and the dense slave soldiers shone out in the flames.
Taking advantage of the night, the slave soldiers attacked the city again.
"Take the gunpowder jar, hurry!" Lu Fei shouted.
This barbarian was really cunning. In order not to be aimed at by artillery, he actually attacked in the darkness.
The sound of "Room!" sounded again.
This immediately alarmed everyone in the city. Xiao Ming, who had just fallen asleep, immediately got up and climbed up the city wall. 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 came from the sky, and the barbarian archers also hid in the dark and shot.
In the darkness, the Cangzhou defenders could not see the barbarians hidden there, so they could only fight back randomly, and the casualties suddenly increased compared to the daytime.
"Twist the gunpowder jar under the city wall." Xiao Ming shouted immediately after he stepped on the city wall.
At this time, Beishan organized an attack, and his only purpose was to bury the powder barrel under the city wall. He must not succeed at this time.
So at this time, you can no longer worry about consuming the gunpowder tank.
The shield hand built a shield wall in the darkness, and the soldiers on the city wall kept throwing the gunpowder jars down.
The screams and explosions were filled with the corpses under the city.
Looking at the barbarian camp that was completely trapped in the darkness in the distance, Xiao Ming looked serious. Bei Shan was indeed an intractable character.
The artillery has no target, so it is naturally impossible to fire, and this night is destined to be difficult.
After another night of fierce battle, more than 600 gunpowder jars were consumed overnight, and a thick layer of corpses under the city walls were piled up.
However, these gunpowder jars were not thrown in vain. The corpses of the slave soldiers had already filled the trench at this time, and naturally filled the holes dug by the barbarians below.
It wouldn't be that easy to dig a hole in the city wall.
"Your Highness, if this continues, the gunpowder jar will not be enough." Luo Xin said worriedly.
I wanted to save on using gunpowder jars, but Bei Shan's move completely broke Xiao Ming's plan. If there were a few more night attacks like this, the city wall would be really over.
Niu Ben saw Xiao Ming's concerns and said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, don't worry, the sharp artillery is unstoppable, which can naturally defeat the barbarians. But why did your highness forget that the outcome of the war lies in every citizen of the Great Chongqing Kingdom. Without artillery and gunpowder jars, we can still use our flesh and blood to block the barbarians' attack."
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, and he looked at the soldiers on the city wall. Yes, when there was nothing, at least he had these brave soldiers who were fearless, so what was he afraid of!
