Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 105

[Chapter 105 Attack]

“Your Highness, look!” In the

early morning, Zhao Xu came to the city wall early after breakfast.

Different from last night, now the outside of the city is completely white, as if a heavy snow just fell last night.

These snow-white things are nothing but Beidi’s camp.

“And there.” Chang Wei pointed to a corner of the Beidi camp.

There, some Beidi soldiers were moving some metal objects out of the camp and lined up in front of the camp.

These metal objects are not very long, about one meter, like a pipe.

The mouth of the pipe is as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and the wall of the pipe is not very thick.

It is the firecracker currently being used in the Great Song Army.

There are more than 30 such guns on the city wall, ready to be used by Beidi people to attack the city.

These firecrackers are not very heavy, and they can be walked on horses and camels.

Although the power of this thing is far from that of real artillery.

However, the stone bombs fired during wartime can still cause some troubles to soldiers.

“People from Beidi learn quickly.” Chang Wei gritted his teeth.

In the battle of Ningjindusi, Dasong was looted a large number of craftsmen.

These craftsmen have brought a lot of great skills to Beidi.

Since then, Beidi has basically been indistinguishable from Dasong in terms of armor, weapons and primitive firearms.

Da Song’s only slight advantage was gone.

Even because the people of Beidi were good at fighting, Dasong was at a disadvantage.

So he was quite annoyed to see that these things that Da Song used to deal with the Beidi people were now being used against him.

“Don’t underestimate your enemies, otherwise you will capsize in the gutter.” Zhao Xu said lightly.

At the same time, he was a little speechless.

This has happened many times in modern times.

The grassland learned the system technology of the Central Plains, and finally reversed the Central Plains.

Chang Wei nodded.

At this moment, the Beidi camp suddenly sounded the sound of horns.

Beidi soldiers who were originally in the camp kept coming out of it.

This time they no longer rode horses, but took up swords and shields.

This is the advantage of cavalry in the cold weapon era.

Mounted is cavalry, dismounted is infantry.

After hitting a place, you can get on your horse and move quickly, and you can’t even catch up.

It is simply an ancient mechanized army.

Therefore, it is a barbarian culturally, but it is not weak militarily.

“Get ready to fight.” Every move of the Beidi people means that they are going to attack the city.

Chang Wei said yes, and let the soldiers thunder and drums.

“Boom boom boom…” The

thick and majestic drum sounded, and the faces of the soldiers on the city wall immediately became serious.

The soldiers in charge of the guns loaded the stone bullets into the muzzle and aimed at the Beidi soldiers below.

After the drums at the north gate sounded, the war drums sounded one after another at the other three city gates.

The entire Yancheng became solemn at this moment.

outside the city.

Kutu stood on the temporary platform and looked at the Yancheng soldiers on the city wall, with Mu Tuo serving by his side.

“Siege.” A trace of fanaticism emerged from Kutu’s face.

In Yancheng, there are countless gold and silver jewels, and there are stunning beauties.

As long as Yancheng is taken down, all of this will be his.

And his loss in the last trade would be trivialized in that glory.

Mutuo went down from the platform.

Amidst the rumbling drums of Yancheng, the horn sounded.

At this time, teams carrying ladders appeared in front of the camp one by one.

Soldiers with shields were mixed in the ladder formation.

Fifty cloud echelons are arranged in sequence, and each cloud echelon is followed by a large number of Beidi soldiers.

These Beidi soldiers wore light armor, held machetes in their hands, and had more than a dozen thin braids in their messy hair.

“Boom boom boom…” The Beidi

Yun echelon team had just lined up when suddenly a burst of flames burst out.

A puff of white smoke rose from more than a hundred firecrackers lined up in front of the camp.

After the white smoke passed, stone-ground projectiles rose into the air, flew more than 100 meters and smashed towards the city wall.

“Be careful of the top of your head.” The generals at all levels on the city wall shouted one after another.

As his voice fell, black dots fell from the sky one by one.

A projectile hit the city wall and immediately shattered.

A projectile fell to the middle of the soldiers, and when they saw something falling, the soldiers immediately ran away.

There were also a few unlucky ones who were hit by stone bullets and fell to the ground before they could dodge in time.

However, with the protection of the armor, he was not seriously injured, and he stood up again after a while.

A stone bomb fell on the city wall in front of Zhao Xu.

Fragments from the shattered stone bombs hit his armor with a slight metallic clatter.

Xu Lie and the guards stood in front of Zhao Xu to protect him.

Seeing that the stone bullets kept falling, he said: “Your Highness, go hide under the city, it’s too dangerous here.”

“No need.” Zhao Xu said lightly.

He observed it, and with the armor, as long as he didn’t get hit directly on the head, it wouldn’t be a big problem.

He withdrew at this point of danger, wouldn’t it be reduced to a joke.

Furthermore, he also wants to personally participate in the war, which is not a training for him.

Xu Lie saw that dissuasion was useless, so he had to be vigilant all the time, staring at the sky to prevent King Yan from being hit by a stone.

After a round of firecracker bombardment, almost half a minute later, another wave of stone bullets landed on the city wall.

Zhao Xu secretly calculated that this firecracker can only be fired once every minute, which is too slow and not powerful enough to determine the outcome of a battle.

After this battle, he decided to show Beidi people what a real firearm is.

The bombardment of the gunfire continued for a quarter of an hour before stopping.

At this time, there was a sound of shouting and killing.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei looked down to the city, and the people from Beidi rushed over carrying the ladder.

“Light it up.” Chang Wei shouted.

Under his command, the firecrackers on the city wall roared.

A stone bomb flew towards Beidi’s army.

However, like the firecrackers of the Beidi people, the error of the stone bullets is too large, and they often fail to hit the target.

Only some unlucky Beidi soldiers were hit and lay on the ground crying.

But this still cannot weaken the Beidi people’s offensive.

“Crossbowmen!” Chang Wei shouted.

The distance of the firecracker is still very far.

Mistakes caused some losses to Beidi people.

But the distance is close, and the slow-fired firecrackers are not very effective.

Chang Wei was well aware of this, and immediately asked the crossbowmen to release arrows downward.

“Swoosh…”

With the order, the crossbowman immediately stepped forward, condescendingly shooting arrows at the echelons of Beidi people.

Arrows flew towards Beidi people like raindrops.

Immediately, more than 20 people fell down in a Beidi cloud ladder team, and the rest couldn’t hold the ladder and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the Beidi soldiers behind immediately stepped forward to replace the fallen soldiers.

This time they were prepared, and the shield bearer in the ladder immediately raised his shield to his head to protect the soldiers carrying the ladder.

With the protection of the shield, the ladder kept approaching the city wall.

Chang Wei shouted at this time: “Shoot the soldiers behind.” The

soldiers immediately abandoned the ladder team and aimed at the soldiers behind the ladder.

And when the ladder arrived at the bottom of the city, Chang Wei shouted again: “Throw stones and pour hot oil.”

These necessary materials for defending the city were prepared by Chang Wei before Beidi’s army arrived.

The purpose is to strike again after the ladder reaches the city.
