Chapter 178

The flames in the camp beat, and the black figures swayed in the candlelight.

Bei Shan looked at gultai and said, "this attack on Cangzhou City, huyantuobu will all obey my orders."

Gultai nodded, though not pleased.

Bei Shan then asked, "how is Cangzhou's defense?"

Gultai successively described the situation when he attacked the city a few days ago.

"Explosive powder can?" Bessin asked.

Gultai nodded. "Yes, this powder can is very powerful. Hundreds of our archers died in the explosion."

Then he continued: "and the armor of the garrison this time is also very good. It looks like the most elite army of the king of Qi."

Besan frowned and said, "tomorrow morning, I'll see for myself."

Gultai nodded.

This time, Bei Shan personally led 50000 barbarian elite to arrive, but there were 80000 slave soldiers accompanying him, plus his own tribe's slave soldiers, more than 100000 people.

Only these slave soldiers are enough to make Cangzhou city's garrison run back and forth.

The next day.

A loud crow of chickens cut through the sky, and the first ray of sunlight in the early morning passed through the clouds and fell on the battlefield full of corpses.

Then, the deafening cry of killing sounded, accompanied by the explosion of the propellant tank.

Outside the city, a flood of slave soldiers rushed to Cangzhou City, carrying hundreds of ladder, almost every few meters, a pair of ladder on the wall.

In the face of the massive siege, every soldier on the wall was nervous. They held the steel knife tightly, waiting for these slave soldiers to climb the wall.

The order of guarding the city is fixed, smashing stones, throwing rolling wood, pouring kerosene, but this time the powder can was used for the first time.

Fifty catapults kept throwing powder cans into the dense formation of slave soldiers.

Smoke everywhere, blood splashing, waves of slave soldiers fell on the siege Road, in the city bow and arrow, stone, rolling wood, fire oil defense, soon under the city and piled up a thick layer of bodies.

"Back!" The explosion of the powder can in the first round of siege ended.

The besieged slave soldiers suddenly retreated, and Niu Zhen looked puzzled.

"Another trial attack." When Xiao Ming looks at the barbarian camp, his eyes suddenly fall on a tall man who looks like the barbarian leader.

Beside him, he saw a businessman with a Han face.

He touched the gun at hand and wanted to give them a shot, but he knew that the accuracy of the gun was too poor to hit him, and the secret weapon of the gun could not be revealed at this time.

"How does your highness know?" Niu Zhen didn't understand.

Xiao Ming said: "the news I got was that Tian Khan of the barbarians personally led the troops, and also came to Beishan. Wang Xuan said that the huyantuo tribe had always supported the great taijiwushugu. Naturally, Beishan would not completely believe the gurtai, so he had to see for himself."

"I didn't expect your highness to have done such a detailed job in intelligence." Niu Zhen nodded in recognition.

Xiao Ming said, "it's also a coincidence. You've caught some unscrupulous businessmen on the grassland."

"Your Highness, it seems that there are some big guys assembled in this barbarian camp." Luffy came over and said.

Standing at the angle of Xiao Ming and Niu Zhen, they didn't see anything big. They followed Lu Fei to his defense area.

When I raised my telescope, I saw that in the middle of the barbarian camp, many slaves were carrying some parts, while some slaves were assembling.

From the appearance, the base of this thing is very big, at least ten meters long.

"This estimate is the Huihui cannon, which is said to be the siege equipment learned by the barbarians from the western regions."

Xiao Ming frowned, but his worry still appeared. The barbarians came and brought back the cannons.

From the current information, this barbarian not only mastered the gunpowder, if there is this return cannon, it will be a huge threat to Cangzhou City.

Niu Zhen had already learned the range and power of this kind of cannons from Xiao Ming. He said, "it seems that the barbarians will win Cangzhou City this time."

Lu Fei scolded: "no matter what the gun is, as long as I'm here, I want to attack Cangzhou City, unless he steps on my body."

Luo Xin didn't know when he had left. He excitedly said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, this time I'll have some guns. There seems to be some interesting things in this barbarian camp. I'll break them all."

"No, let them assemble for a period of time, and we'll surprise them when they are more than half assembled." Xiao Ming said.

It seems that in order to wait for the assembly of the cannons, the barbarians did not continue to attack after one attack.

The next two days, the two sides have been in confrontation, the third day, the barbarian camp has been able to see more than three meters high equipment.

At this time, the barbarians pushed these instruments to the position of 500 meters and arranged the half assembled cannons in turn."Your Highness, this besan is provoking your highness." Niu Zhen said when he saw the barbarian's action.

Xiao Ming nodded. It is said that Bei Shan is proud of his talent, which is also a common fault of genius. At this time, he put the Huihui cannon in front of the battle to assemble. Obviously, he wanted Xiao Ming to see how he conquered Cangzhou step by step.

"In that case, it's time for us to return." Xiao Ming said: "artillery ready!"

As soon as his voice fell, the soldiers were shocked, and finally the gun was going to be used.

These days they are waiting for the firecrackers to beat these barbarians to pieces.

Luo Xin said with a smile: "these barbarians are hiding behind the big house. This time, we will see where they are hiding. They are a group of cowards who will only drive the slave soldiers."

Then he called out, "all in position, clear the guns."

Since he first fired the gun, he seems to regard himself as the artillery commander. He always leads the soldiers who go to the equipment department for training.

Although the time is only more than a month, rosin knows all aspects of artillery performance.

At this time, the soldiers lifted all the canvas to cover the gun, and the black metal texture of the gun body was exposed.

Then they adjusted the muzzle and aimed at the barbarian cannons being assembled 500 meters away.

Bei Shan thought that he could crush Cangzhou city with Huihui gun, but he didn't know that Xiao Ming was going to crush him.

"Load the powder!" Rosin issued a second order.

"Shells!" The third order was issued.

After everything is ready, Luo Xin looks at Xiao Ming. With a command, 30 guns on the fort will fire, and the shells will be shot at the barbarians.

"Aim at five cannons." Xiao Ming ordered.

Naturally, the purpose of this first wave of attack is to destroy the cannons. Otherwise, when these cannons are assembled, they will certainly cause a lot of casualties.
