Steel Dynasty - Chapter 260

[Chapter 260 Confrontation]

only thing in Chagatai’s eyes at this time was the fire that was constantly rising in front of the Cangzhou city and the trench.

An hour had passed. Waves of slave soldiers rushed over, and the last wave disappeared. At that moment, he suddenly felt that Cangzhou City, which was within reach, was so far away.

“Go back, go back! Go back!”

Another wave of slave soldiers returned in defeat. They were no longer willing to charge. The scene of corpses flying everywhere broke their last line of defense.

Kuha ran back and forth on the battlefield with his saber. Every time he swung the saber, he would take away the life of a slave soldier, but this still could not stop the slave soldiers who escaped.

Guduo’s eyes were deep. He also participated in the battle of Cangzhou last time. Compared with last time, there were more artillery at the top of Cangzhou City this time.

Moreover, there were more trebuchets placed in front of the trench, and thirty artillery appeared among the trebuchets. These artillery had not been fired, and the black muzzles were deep and terrifying.

Gu Duo understood that the shells in these artillery were more deadly. The cavalry who entered the city gate last time died under this kind of artillery.

At the top of Cangzhou City, Xiao Ming silently watched the offensive and defensive battle below. The explosion of gunpowder cans was like flaming flowers starting on the grassland. It was beautiful but very deadly.

Waves of gunpowder cans were projected, leaving no trace of the slave soldiers who rushed over. Even a few who luckily entered the trench were killed by the soldiers holding the trench.

“Now the barbarians can only use their lives to fill the trenches.” Niu Ben said.

The barbarian cavalry could not pass through the 500-meter-long trench circle, and now they could only rely on slave soldiers to attack.

Zhan Xingchang said: “This time we don’t ask for victory or defeat, we just ask for a word, and we will wait for the good news to come from the grassland.”

Xiao Ming nodded, he also saw the chaos on the battlefield, this time a fierce battle The firepower caused the slave soldiers to retreat continuously, and there were even riots in the rear of the barbarians.

After all, these slave soldiers have never been of the same mind as the barbarians, but they were coerced by the barbarians.

Now they have to make a choice before dying without a whole body or leaving a whole body.

While the three of them were talking, suddenly the barbarian attack stopped, and Xiao Ming saw that there seemed to be chaos in the barbarian team.

He immediately picked up the telescope and saw only the barbarian cavalry fighting with a group of slave soldiers.

“Your Highness, some slave soldiers have rebelled!” Niu Ben said in surprise.

Zhan Xingchang also picked up the telescope and looked carefully. Indeed, some slave soldiers in shabby clothes were fighting with the barbarian cavalry. The terror of the artillery and gunpowder cans finally made these slave soldiers’ anger towards the barbarians reach the limit.

Since they all died, they naturally wanted to vent their anger on the barbarians.

“What should I do?” Zhan Xingchang asked Xiao Ming.

“Just wait and see what happens.” Xiao Ming said. He couldn’t attack rashly at this time. After all, this was just a small chaos. It was estimated that there were only a few waves of slave soldiers resisting.

If we give up our defense at this time and take the opportunity to attack, the barbarians may seize the opportunity.

Sure enough, the rebellion was quickly suppressed, but the barbarians did not attack again, but seemed to be purging the slave soldiers.

“Consumption, what we are least afraid of now is consumption.” Xiao Ming said lightly.

Niu Ben nodded when he heard this.

At this time, the barbarians camped.

Chagatai’s eyes were gloomy. Just now, a group of thousands of slave soldiers refused to attack and suddenly attacked the cavalry. Although these thousands of people were quickly suppressed, this unprecedented situation also forced him to realize a problem.

In just three months, Cangzhou City’s defense capabilities have risen to another level. Now King Qi’s army has the courage to use trenches to fight them in the wild, which has never been done before in the Chongqing Kingdom.

And he thought that he had never seen such a difficult army.

At this time, he finally believed Beishan’s words, and the future battlefield belonged to gunpowder.

“Pause the attack.” Chagatai gave the order at this time. At this time, he finally understood Gurtai’s mood at that time.

Slave soldiers are also one of the tribe’s strengths. If these slave soldiers are exhausted, they will have no choice but to charge on their own.

“Flaghead, aren’t you going to fight?” The hatred in Kuha’s eyes grew stronger day by day.

At this time, he just wanted to enter Cangzhou City to avenge his wife.

Gu Duo said: “Continuing to rush forward will only bury the slave soldiers in vain.”

“The lives of these slave soldiers are not lives in the first place, so what does it matter if they are given away more.” Kuha said with red eyes.

Guduo said angrily: “Stupid, our purpose is just to destroy the city wall. If it is because we lose too many troops here, it is definitely not worth it, and Besantiji will not be happy.”

Chagatai looked at Guduo, this is exactly what happened. What he was thinking now was that if the cost of destroying this wall was too high, he would not continue.

After all, the final result was that he lost a lot of troops and only destroyed a city wall, and the army of Dayu could have built it again within a month. Calculated this way, it was not worth it.

Therefore, he temporarily stopped the attack and prepared to send someone to tell Beishan the current situation. If Beishan still asked to continue to attack the city, he would have no choice but to continue to obey the order.

After all, although he is from Beishan, he also has his own selfish motives. If the Blood Wolf Tribe becomes the Huyantuo Tribe, he will soon be abandoned by Beishan.

The barbarians stopped attacking, the artillery fire at the top of Cangzhou City also stopped, and the two sides faced each other one mile apart.

Night fell quickly, and the soldiers in the trench did not relax their vigilance. They still remembered the night attack of the barbarians, so they were more focused. However, this night seemed to be peaceful, and the barbarians did not launch an attack.

The next day, there was still no movement from the barbarians.

However, the barbarians did not move, but Lu Fei and others kept moving. With the experience last time, the two cavalry were even more comfortable on the grassland.

Moreover, the barbarians attacked Cangzhou with a large army, leaving an empty rear.

Just because of the last attack, the scouts of the barbarian tribes often patrolled outside to guard against sudden attacks by the Chongqing army.

Therefore, when entering the grassland this time, Lu Fei abandoned the last night attack and adopted a violent attack. Once a weak tribe was found, the cavalry would directly attack.

Even if he was discovered by the scouts, he would not give the scouts time to go back and report the news, because when the barbarian scouts arrived at the camp, they followed closely. Although they could not annihilate them all, they could always kill seven or seven of the barbarians in a tribe. Eighty-eight.

Their purpose this time was different from before. It was mainly to force the barbarian troops to return to defense. Therefore, they did not seek total annihilation, but only pursued efficiency. In just two days, Lei Ming and Lu Fei’s team attacked a dozen barbarian tribes.

For a time, the Blood Wolf Tribe was in turmoil. News of the reappearance of the Chongqing Army spread quickly, and the tribe sent people to Cangzhou City to ask for help.

And this time they found that the cavalry attacking them were more numerous.
