When the soldiers from the Cangzhou camp arrived, they trained harder and harder.

Looking at these simple soldiers, Xiao Ming said to Lu Fei: "I'm afraid you will enter the grassland again."

"Has the barbarian army been dispatched?" Lu Fei couldn't help asking at this time.

Xiao Ming nodded, "Yes, the scout came to report that the Blood Wolf Tribe gathered a large army and was coming to Cangzhou City with the goal of destroying the new city wall. This time the barbarian army was in a mighty way, and the rear would inevitably be empty, and it was a good time to attack."

"Hehe, I am waiting to go to the grassland to catch some war horses. Your Highness, I will gather people and set off now. In addition, these new recruits will also bring them with me this time. The best training is actual combat. When we go out this time, our cavalry is much more familiar with each other than before." Lu Fei said.

"Can they do?" Xiao Ming looked at the recruits who had only been training for one month with some concern.

"Your Highness, we are basically fighting night attacks and will not fight with the barbarians immediately. It is enough for these recruits to ride horses." Lu Fei said.

One month is enough for these soldiers to learn to ride horses. After all, simply riding a horse is relatively easy. The real difficulty is to be able to make various movements on the horse's back.

In this regard, the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom are not as good as those of the barbarians.

Because of this, the cavalry of the Dayu Kingdom always suffers when fighting against the barbarian cavalry, because the barbarians have the ability to escape while turning around and shoot arrows. They are very flexible on the horse and their violent movements will not fall off the horse's back, as if they are stuck on the horse.

The cavalry of the Great Yu Kingdom is no longer good, and they often fall off the horse's back.

However, what Lu Fei said this time is not unreasonable. Only by practicing combat can one train troops as quickly as possible. Only at the critical moment of life and death can one stimulate one's greatest potential.

Considering that this attack on the grassland was not a head-on battle, the new recruits were led by veteran Yuzi, so he nodded.

After all, in this era, sometimes catching a strong man is a soldier, and training is far from easy.

After talking about this with Lu Fei, Xiao Ming went to find Niu Ben again. This time, Xiao Ming decided to let Niu Ben stay in Cangzhou City. After all, the defenders of Cangzhou City need him to command.

During this period, the Qingzhou army also traveled from Qingzhou to Cangzhou, and the troops in Cangzhou City even exceeded the scale of the last battle in Cangzhou.

After all, there is no trivial matter in war, and there cannot be any negligence. Xiao Ming must be on guard.

"Since we will not lead the troops out at the end, we will also need two cavalry to go out of the grassland this time, so who will lead the other cavalry?" Niu Ben asked.

Lu Fei said loudly at this time: "Myong recommends Lei Ming. This kid is from Youzhou and is very familiar with the area of ​​Youzhou. This time, Moyong can avoid the pursuit of the barbarians in time or rely on his guidance."

Niu Ben nodded. Although Lu Fei was a thorn, he was always upright and would not be nepotist. To put it this way, this Thunder must be outstanding.

There are too few cavalry generals now. This time he led the team to several excellent generals, but these generals are all veterans, not from Youzhou. Xiao Ming's purpose of training the Guanning Iron Cavalry this time is inconsistent.

He then said, "Your Highness intends to train the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and this cavalry will promote more generals from Youzhou. Since that's the case, let Lei Ming go."

Xiao Ming nodded. He had also been in contact with this Lei Ming and was a bit clever. Youzhou will maintain harassment of the barbarians in the future, and someone will need to stay in Cangzhou forever.

After all, Niu Ben and Lu Fei have to take charge of Qingzhou to command the overall situation, so they can only be handed over to Guanning Iron Cavalry.

And he has his own development strategy for Guanning Iron Cavalry Xiao Ming.

It’s very simple, let the Guanning Iron Cavalry grow stronger independently.

In the future, he would indulge the Guanning Iron Cavalry to burn, kill and loot on the grassland. If he wanted to expand the scale of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, he would have to let them go to the grassland to rob horses and train new recruits by themselves.

This would be a very wild cavalry, but in order to prevent losing control, Xiao Ming would still send the Chief of the Secret into the Guanning Iron Cavalry. The army's behavior can be wild, but its thoughts cannot be wild. The army must be in his hands anyway.

He didn't want this Guanning Iron Cavalry to eventually become the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.

The generals who went to the grassland this time were assigned, Niu Ben asked Lu Fei and Lei Ming to go back to rectify the soldiers and prepare to set off.

Niu Ben and Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang climbed the city tower to arrange the next defense.

The purpose of the barbarians this time was not to attack the city, but to destroy the city wall. Xiao Ming believed that Bei Shan would definitely not want to consume too much of his power in Cangzhou City at this time.

Therefore, after the three of them discussed, they decided to bombard the barbarian army indiscriminately and not care about the consumption of ammunition.

After all, Cangzhou City has already reserved a lot of gunpowder during this period, so there is no need to worry about the ammunition being consumed soon like last time.

That night, Niu Ben and Lei Ming took advantage of the darkness to enter the grassland from the cave. According to the news from the scouts, the barbarian army will arrive at the city of Cangzhou tomorrow.

The next morning, Xiao Ming and others got up early. All the craftsmen who built the city wall had retreated to the city. Qingzhou army entered the trenches, and the Cangzhou army's catapult was also ready.

A big battle is about to break out.

"Your Highness, you are here." At noon, Niu Ben pointed to the distance and said.

Through the telescope, Xiao Ming saw the barbarian army pressing over like dark clouds. At this glance, the sky was covered with darkness, and the one walking in front were slave soldiers.

These slave soldiers were worn out and held various weapons in their hands.

After the barbarian army appeared, the atmosphere on the battlefield became unprecedentedly stagnant, and each soldier tensed up, waiting for the barbarians to sound the horn of attack.

"Woo woo..." The low ox horn sounded on the grassland.

The barbarians drove slave soldiers to start attacking the trenches outside Cangzhou City five hundred meters away.

On the city wall, Luo Xin stood in the middle with a red flag in his hand and frequently issued flag words. The artillery loaded according to the flag words and aimed.

"Open fire!"

With Xiao Ming's order, a hundred artillery guns on the city wall roared in unison, and the shells were concentrated at the slave soldiers rushing towards them.

"Ah..." A series of screams rang out.

The shells brought a string of blood mist in the crowd. Although the slave soldiers tried to disperse as much as possible, the bounce of one hundred shells on the ground still killed a large number of slave soldiers.

Although these slave soldiers knew about the artillery in Cangzhou City, it was the first time that many people saw it. Before many soldiers could react, they saw a group of people falling down beside them, all of them looking miserable.

And when they looked forward, they saw the soldiers rushing to the trench suddenly exploded with an explosion, their limbs shattered, and blood rain was sprinkled.

Immediately afterwards, there was only the scene of limbs flying in their eyes, and there was only the sound of explosions like thunder in their ears.
