Chapter 176

Blood splashed, Luffy drew the sword from the slave soldier's chest.

At this time, his body had been dyed red with blood. Although the stones and rolling trees were smashed down again and again, there were still slave soldiers climbing up the 500 meter wall in the chaos.

"Push down the ladder!"

at Lufei's command, the two soldiers put their forks on the side of the ladder and pushed out. The slave soldiers who were climbing on the ladder screamed and fell down the ladder.

"Dao Dun Shou!" Looking up at the front of his eyes, Lufei only saw the moment when the barbarian Archer bent his bow and arched. He cried in a hurry.

The shield hand who was on guard on the wall immediately tilted and raised the shield, and then a sound like raindrops sounded on the shield.

"Dada dada!"

At the end of the sound, a soldier's shield was shot into a hedgehog, and the iron sheet attached to the outer layer of the wooden shield was shot through.

Lu Fei looked at the arrow and scolded: "armor breaking arrow, brothers, be careful."

Then he let a captain take his place, and he went to Xiao Ming.

"Use the catapult, your highness."

Lu Fei was a little bit subdued. Up to now, only the slave soldiers died. However, the barbarian archers only shot from a distance of more than 100 meters, which is very safe.

Several soldiers holding shields stood in front of Xiao Ming. He said, "I'm going to inform you to let the soldiers shoot the powder can. Remember, the three leads should be ignited at the same time."

"Good!" Luffy answered, turned and ran back, shouting all the way, "blow up these people for me."

This time, Xiao Ming specially ordered to install three lead wires in the powder can. After all, this kind of throwing powder can easily extinguish, and the three lead wires can guarantee the success rate of the powder can explosion.

The soldiers in charge of the catapult immediately put the powder can into the groove of the catapult and aimed at the barbarian archers one after another.

These barbarian archers stood close to 200 meters, and with the advantage of bows and arrows, they kept shooting Qingzhou soldiers at the head of the city.

Many soldiers were shot by bows and arrows and fell to the ground.

"Let it go Give me an order.

Fifty catapults simultaneously ejected the powder can which ignited the fuse.

The barbarian archer who was shooting saw a lot of black spots in the sky, realized that it was the stone thrown by the catapult, and immediately dodged.

"Dong, Dong..."

A series of sounds, powder cans wrapped in thick straw hit the ground, making a dull sound.

There are also some archers who can't dodge and are directly smashed by the powder can.

The barbarian soldiers who easily dodged the powder can began to laugh at the round things on the ground, as if they were proud of their success.

It's just that their laughter ended with a big bang.

The powerful impact and smoke instantly wrapped the barbarian soldiers nearby, and the barbarians within a radius of 10 meters fell one after another.

The stench of the explosion of the powder jar, the fragments of the pottery jar, and the iron nails mixed with the stool spread quickly.

The barbarian soldiers in the center of the explosion were blown to pieces, while the soldiers on the periphery were basically wounded and fell to the ground to wail.

The barbarian soldiers were so scared that they retreated one after another.

At this time, the second wave of powder cans were thrown by the catapult again, and the wounded soldiers who had no time to escape were torn apart in another explosion.

"Good fight! Ha ha ha... " Luffy's laughter came from the wall.

The unexpected attack of the powder can made the barbarian soldiers retreat one after another, and the slave soldiers who lost their cover were again covered by the dense rain of arrows on the wall.

Gultai held on to the reins to prevent the horses from running away in panic.

The continuous huge explosions made the barbarian horses panic, and the barbarian soldiers held their reins one after another to prevent the horses from escaping.

"Is this the secret weapon of the king of Qi?" Gultai was a little pale.

Despite the distance of 300 meters, he still felt the slight vibration of the ground caused by the explosion.

"It should be." Liu Xuan said, "I didn't expect that after the firebox, the state of Dayu was using this kind of gunpowder weapon again."

Gultai said, "well, soon they will understand that we barbarians also use gunpowder. At that time, I will blow up their walls and soldiers together."

Liu Xuan nodded. He knew that there were many powder barrels hidden in the camp, which were specially used to blow up the city wall.

This move was learned by the barbarians in the war with the Ottoman Empire. One of the purposes of this siege was to test the defensive ability of the Qingzhou army.

The second is to continuously dig holes in the city wall. When the troops arrive, they can blow up the city wall with gunpowder and annihilate the garrison at one stroke.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan has seen the hope of victory, he said: "but it is said that the Beishan Khan can throw stones 500 meters away this time. At that time, these Cangzhou City defenders were not beaten."

Gurtai said with a smile: "yes, let these southerners live for a few more days."

With that, he asked the archers to withdraw one after another. He didn't care whether the slave soldiers were alive or dead.From the morning to the evening, the barbarians drove out the slave soldiers wave after wave. At this time, the city was covered with the corpses of the slave soldiers. The scene was bleak.

The trench under the city is now full of corpses. Xiao Ming looks at the retreating slave soldiers and smashes the wall.

"Up to now, even the barbarian's fur hasn't hurt a few. Damn it!"

Niu Zhen comforted: "Your Highness, this is the means of war that the barbarians have always used. They will attack only when they are exhausted and suffer heavy losses."

Looking at the gun hidden in the black cloth, Xiao Ming nodded and said, "it's OK. When the main force of the barbarians arrives, I will make them pay the price."

At the end of the day's war, Niu Zhen immediately asked the soldiers to prepare stones, rolling wood and other materials.

This time, it was just a trial attack by the barbarians. The real bloody battle was still behind. He knew this very well.

However, judging from today's war, his confidence in the guard battle has greatly increased. The whole body armor of Qingzhou army has played a great role in the battle, and few soldiers have been killed.

The only serious injury was the bow and arrow thrown by the barbarian archer. Many people were injured at that time.

Back at Xingyuan, lvluo takes off Xiao Ming's armor. Seeing the blood on the armor, lvluo worries: "Your Highness, where are you injured?"

"I'm not hurt."

Xiao Ming is a little tired. His nerves are tense all the time. At this time, he finally relaxes.

Lvluo breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she was so scared that her heart was beating. At this time, he said, "by the way, your highness, Pang Changshi brought a message and said that the equipment department had four more guns to Cangzhou City."

"Yes? Then I heard the best news today. " Xiao Ming said.

With these four guns, Cangzhou City has 30 guns. In a few days, I'm afraid the main force of the barbarians will arrive.
