In fact, the word trench has been around for a long time, but most of the time it is not used like Yang Ce.

For example, in ancient China, in order to prevent enemy cavalry and infantry from attacking, they would dig several layers outside the camp, bury some barbed wooden stakes, fill them with water or gold juice, and pickle them up as much as possible. Anyway, they would be used to bathe the enemy.

The moat is a large trench.

In the Chen Mu era, the trench was stationed, but he was not the first to the trench. In the Battle of Constantinople when the Ottoman Empire destroyed Byzantium, the Sultan soldiers had drilled into the trench and fought with people.

After all, Ottoman siege is awesome.

Just the stone shooting cannon that Spain likes, Constantinople was blown away again and again by this thing.

It has been one hundred and thirty years since then, what was the Ottoman's stone shooting cannon like? Now Spain and France's stone shooting cannon like this, except for the smaller ones, the fewer patterns.

Billon was not a person who had never seen the trenches, but he had never seen the people who had entered the trenches before the war began.

So many shells were emptied, so angry!

When he thought of the king recruiting thousands of donkeys and horses along the way, sending twenty-four heavy siege cannons and shells weighing tens of thousands of kilograms here, his field cannon could not hit the enemy, and his siege cannon could not reach the city - Billon was even more angry.

Just as his artillery had just stopped shooting, Marshal Billon, who was sitting on the horse and looking at the battlefield, found out... his enemies seemed to be happy because of the bombardment of artillery.

Yes, it was happy. Despite this for a while, almost all the soldiers in the trench were cheering, and even people climbed out of the trench and shouted loudly with their arms wide open.

People are the same. Even if their skin colors are different, Billon can feel the dark soldiers on the opposite side coming out of the soil and not cheering up morale.

In fact, Yang Ce didn't know why his subordinates were so happy. Even the officers in the South China Sea couldn't suppress the soldiers anymore. It was not until a hundred households came over to show him that they knew what was going on. The shells of the French King's army were not stones, nor Spanish stone or iron bombs, but copper.

Yes.

Billon's troops used a throwing machine made of wrought iron, chemical energy-driven throwing more than 300 kilograms of copper balls to Yang Ce's trench in a short time.

Copper bar, it is worthless in the Ming Dynasty, it is far from gold and silver.

The prices of copper wires are between 100 jin and 20 taels of silver, red copper, red cooked copper, two-fire brass, and four-fire brass are between 100 jin and 8 taels of silver.

But if it is made into a copper coin and becomes a general equivalent, it will be a little more valuable. A hundred kilograms of copper coin can be worth fifteen or sixteen taels of silver, but it is still not as expensive as processed copper wire.

But it is very valuable in the Han Dynasty. Because the Han Dynasty did not promote silver, the four kings of the Han Dynasty were reluctant to hand over silver to the people. The legal currency of the Han Dynasty's people was the Tongbao of the Ming Dynasty.

It is not easy for Lin Feng to get Tongbao, so Tongbao has stronger purchasing power in Han Dynasty, not to mention that the pirate leaders even used Tongbao to fool the African chiefs, saying that this is a treasure. Look at the pattern made of this, it’s so exquisite.

For the African Army, what does this mean?

This is equivalent to Chen Mu fighting with someone, and suddenly found that the opponent was hitting him with gold, and he couldn't make it right... Who can withstand this!

Seeing that Billon did not fire the artillery, the African army was anxious and jumped out of the trenches one by one and yelled loudly.

Chen Jiujing was so happy on the city wall that he raised his hand and slapped Margaret's helmet, which made the woman inside dizzy: "Look at General Yang's soldiers, the morale is available! He was bombarded without any discouragement, and he challenged loudly. With such morale, he could cross my trenches? Chen was really misled, he was really a warrior!"

Billon was so angry that he ordered another blow.

As a result, people were still the same, and once again got into the trenches.

After each Fran machine cannon was shot, the African army that jumped out became more arrogant. This time, many people took off their pants, turned around and slapped at the French king's army with their black butts while shouting. The front line seemed to be dancing with demons.

There was no need for military music, and the sound of dinging copper coins sounded in their ears, and more than 300 kilograms of copper arrived.

No one took the corpses who fell to the ground seriously at the cannon. The atmosphere in the battlefield was extremely cheerful.

This scene was also seen by an army hidden in the forest southwest of the right bank. They were the Cavalry of the Kangguru tribe who returned from Ajang and the Skies of the Navarra Kingdom.

When Kangguru arrived at Ajang, the battle was almost over. The main weapon was a pitchfork. The Huguenot rebels with woodcutting axes and round-headed hammers defeated the Wang army, which was armed to the teeth, with the help of the defenders of Ajang, but due to heavy losses and the injury to the leader, they were unable to pursue the enemy.

Most of the royal army who had abandoned their armor finally fell asleep forever, with only a small number of cavalry and infantrymen who had fled into the forest in time to escape from Kanggulu's pursuit.

But the situation was not good for King Bourbon Henry of Navarra. His breastplate was cut with scratches and dents, and several small lead cakes embedded in the armor. Perhaps because of the distance, the traces on these armor did not really hurt him a single hair.

The real big trouble is a crossbow arrow.

The crossbow arrow penetrated his armor and penetrated under his collarbone, not far from his heart and neck.

Seeing Conguru's cavalry appearing on the battlefield to chase his enemies, the king smiled like a child and fainted happily after ordering the vassals to "advance towards Bordeaux".

It was not until he woke up less than ten miles from the city of Bordeaux that Conguru felt that the king was awakened.

Otherwise, what else could make the "king" who had been having a high fever on the road and was carried by his subordinates for 200 miles suddenly wake up?

Kangguru thought about it, it might be the roar of the African army.

Anyway, Kanggulu didn't think that the unlucky guy who was not killed by a gun but was shot by a crossbow arrow was the king. If he was the king, then Kanggulu would be the king. Harbin, I'm sorry, it's the Hada tribe. The Hada tribe is much larger than Navarra.

Bourbon Henry, with a pale face and sweaty head, and his shirtless white cloth wrapped around him, pushed his doctor and vassal away, stumbled and slowly walked under the Conguruma, holding the tree trunk and looking in the direction of Bordeaux with his dizzy eyes.

Due to the angle, he could not see Bilon's Wang Jun, and could only hear the sound of shelling after shelling, but he could see that after every shelling that made his liver tremble, dense black soldiers would emerge from the ground and make roars stronger than dozens of cannons.

He asked in French without any consciousness: "What are you doing there?"

The only answers to him is Kangulu: "Hmm?"

After reacting, Henry smiled embarrassedly at Conguru and asked again in Spanish: "What are they doing?"

Kangguru could only shake his head unconsciously, and shouted on the other side, if the sound wave could kill people, I would probably not be left in France: "I... faint again?"

well.

Hearing a thud, Conguru sighed in his heart, looked back at Bourbon Henry's newly captured weapon to replace the pitchfork, and his wounded subordinates, and said to the translator of Baishanying beside him: "Let these people carry their leader from the south and go to the city to treat the injury. This little thing is almost dead."

"Everyone dismounted, let the animals rest and prepare to attack them."
