Chapter 181: Running out of ammunition and food
The cruel war always lasts and is long.
After the night attack, Cangzhou City and the barbarians began a tug-of-war, and they attacked the city repeatedly every day, leaving behind corpses, retreating, and then attacking again.
Zhan Xingchang went out and came back, and talked and talked, nonsense and nonsense. After he left, he either had the defenders bombarded the barbarian camp or another night attack.
On the fifth day, Xiao Ming's gunpowder tank was finally consumed completely, and the artillery was only left with less than 300 shells.
However, the consumption of these ammunition also brought the due results. After hiding behind the slave soldiers, the regular barbarian army finally stepped onto the front desk.
Some soldiers of the Qingzhou army also fell down forever, but the auxiliary soldiers silently put on the armor of the casualties, picked up their weapons, and stood in their positions.
At this time, each soldier looked tired, but his eyes emitted an unprecedented fierce light.
The tempering of war has transformed them from an ordinary citizen to a real soldier.
Their spirit is high and their will is as strong as steel, and they are swearing to defend their homeland of life to the death.
"Finally come, bah!"
Lu Fei stared at the barbarian soldiers rushing towards the city wall under the city.
These barbarian soldiers looked cold and their shouting were full of murderous aura. Unlike slave soldiers, these real barbarian soldiers looked fierce and as dangerous as hungry wolf.
But at this moment, they had an advantage. These days, the slave soldiers had been dying for them, waiting for them for more than ten days.
However, the Cangzhou defenders fought for more than ten days in a row, which was the cunning point of the barbarians.
Using this war method that was shamed by the Great Chongqing Kingdom, they captured one city after another, one country after another.
Niu Ben also threw down the bow and arrow at this time, holding a sharp sword in his hand, waiting for the moment when the barbarian soldiers climbed the city wall.
The stones were gone, the wood was gone, the tincture was gone, and the arrows of the bows and arrows were gone. All they had left was the steel knife in their hands.
The barbarians seemed to understand this, and at this time they finally couldn't help but show their sharp teeth.
In the camp, Bei Shan smiled, but there was still a bit bitter in the smile.
A mere 20,000 defenders stopped them for ten days, and nearly 100,000 slave soldiers were killed and killed. This was the most difficult war he had ever encountered.
If it were before, he might have ordered a retreat, but this time he had no more. He told him directly that he had to kill the seventh prince of the Great Yu Kingdom.
This will be done now. When he truly grows up, it will be a nightmare for the barbarians.
At the same time, he was eager to obtain weapons in the city. Only by mastering such weapons would the city of Dayu Kingdom not be an obstacle in front of him.
"Snow Wolf Guard! Kill!"
One by one, one thought passed by, Bei Shan raised the scimitar in his hand, and the most elite army under his command launched a charge towards Cangzhou City.
In Cangzhou City, looking at the barbarian soldiers like a tide, Niu Ben shouted: "Form a formation!"
Immediately, the Qingzhou army on the city wall became a formation with swords, shields, and spears behind.
"Boom..." The cannon sounded again at this time.
The solid ejection was shot out, jumping among the barbarians and killing one barbarian after another, bringing up strings of blood mist.
However, the number of barbarian soldiers was too large. Thirty artillery guns seemed very inconspicuous at this moment. After three hundred shells were shot, killing thousands of enemies, the artillery soldiers picked up their weapons at this time.
The ladder was leaned against the city wall, and barbarian soldiers flocked to it, and the first barbarian soldier appeared on the city wall of Cangzhou City.
"Spit!" A shout was heard, and the first barbarian soldier who rushed up was pierced by several spears and fell from the city wall with screams.
Immediately afterwards, one barbarian soldier after another came up from the ladder, and the number increased. Some barbarian soldiers flexibly avoided the spear and rushed down. They cut the scimitar in their hands on the armor of the Qingzhou army.
With a "clang", the Qingzhou army that was cut down was intact, and the barbarian soldier was stunned.
"Go to die!" The soldier roared and chopped off the barbarian's head with one knife.
Xiao Ming was wearing armor and fighting with the soldiers. He did not hide in the city because he knew that as long as he was there, he would be an unforgettable flag.
When the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army saw their vassal kings fighting side by side with them, they would fight bravely to kill the enemy.
At this time, the barbarians kept jumping down the ladder, and the two sides immediately fought together.
At this time, these barbarians realized that they were all wrong. The most terrifying thing on the city wall was not the weapon that could spray flames, but the seamless and hard armor of the Qingzhou Army.
Their scimitar was unable to kill Qingzhou soldiers at all, and the other party would take his own life if the second slash.
Over the past few days, the Qingzhou army has been killed by bows and arrows, but it has suffered the least losses in real close combat. These steel cans are blocked on the city wall at this time, which is like a steel wall.
"Ah!" A barbarian soldier jumped off the city wall and rushed directly towards Xiao Ming.
Zhao Long and Zhao Hu are fighting with the barbarians at this time. Although Xiao Ming has not exercised during this period, his predecessor's foundation is still there.
In the past, Xiao Ming was skilled in archery and horse skills.
Out of instinct, Xiao Ming avoided the scimitar swung by the barbarians and kicked the barbarians to the ground with one kick. He held the sword in his hand and pierced the barbarians' heart hard.
Blood flowed out of the barbarians' mouths, Xiao Ming's expression was cold, and the tempering on the battlefield had made him indifferent to death, whether it was for himself or the enemy.
Killing the barbarian soldier, Xiao Ming accidentally looked at the city, and saw several carriages galloping in the city, coming towards him, with bags after bags on them.
The auxiliary soldiers under the city immediately moved the things on the car down and transported them to the city wall.
"Be careful with your Highness!" Zhao Long's voice sounded.
Xiao Ming was in the king's body immediately, and a cold wind blew past his head.
Turning back, a barbarian soldier was behind him. He rolled to the side of the barbarian soldier, lifted his sword and stabbed into the barbarian soldier's body.
More and more barbarians rushed up the city wall, but Xiao Ming clearly saw that the Qingzhou army had an absolute advantage in close combat.
One is the quality brought by the protective effect of the plate armor, and the other is the quality brought by condescending.
No wonder the ancients said that without five times the strength of the troops, you should not be able to attack the city.
In the barbarian camp, Bei Shan's expression became increasingly ugly. He thought that as long as he climbed the city wall, he could easily defeat the defenders at the city top, but the fact is that every group of soldiers who climbed the city top would soon be submerged in the silver torrent of steel.
He said to Gultai, "What are you waiting for? Let your people blow up the city gate with a powder barrel."
Gurtai nodded and immediately ordered the soldiers to carry a huge wooden barrel and move towards Cangzhou City.
Bei Shan said at this time: "Cabinets are ready!"
He gradually realized that without the advantage of cavalry, they would not win.
Chapter completed!
