"Back, back!"
On the top of the city, looking at the scattered slave soldiers, many soldiers cried out excitedly.
Niu Zhen raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "Your Highness, the artillery has scared the enemy."
"It's normal for them to be afraid of this kind of weapon for the first time, but only when they are familiar with it can they have a real bloody battle." Xiao Ming said.
Niu Zhen nodded his head in silence.
Up to now, they have basically come into contact with slave soldiers, and they have not really fought with barbarians, who are the main force in this war.
They have been using slave soldiers to consume soldiers, ammunition and defense materials of Qingzhou army.
"Your Highness, the powder can and artillery should be used at the last moment. I'm worried..." Niu Zhen hesitated and said.
It's also something that Xiao Ming is thinking about. Up to now, the barbarians have no sign of going out. If all the powder cans and shells are consumed at this time, the last moment will be really difficult.
Because this time is similar to Tianji horse racing, the barbarians have been using inferior soldiers to consume his superior soldiers.
"Stop shooting!"
Then Xiao Ming called.
Lu Fei, excited by the power of the gun, came over and said, "Your Highness, why? It's not easy for these barbarians to suffer. "
Xiao Ming ignored him, but looked at Luo Xin, "how many powder cans and shells are there?"
Luo Xin was in the excitement. Hearing the words, he suddenly felt cold behind him. He said, "there are more than 1500 powder cans left, and 2300 shells left."
Lu Fei then understood what Xiao Ming meant. He stamped his feet depressed. "Chen Wenlong and Chen Qi are the same. Why can't they prepare more? What can we do now? Only these slave soldiers can consume all the powder cans and shells. "
"Huihui guns have been destroyed. From now on, powder cans and guns are saved. Time is in a hurry, and the equipment department can't prepare too much ammunition. Now we have to delay." Xiao Ming said.
Niu Zhen nodded his head and said: "yes, the barbarians have a long journey. The food and grass logistics is much more troublesome than us. Moreover, there are a large number of them. They just eat countless food and grass every day. The huyantuo tribe has no bones left. We are just in the middle of wheat ripening. This large quantity of food and grass will arrive soon, and the longer it takes, our artillery and shells will be destroyed It's going to be more. "
Lu Fei and Luo Xin nodded. Lu Fei said, "but I'm afraid the barbarians won't give us any time to delay."
As they were talking, a sharp arrow flew from the barbarian camp.
At the end of the city, the arrow was obviously weak. Niu Zhen was quick and grasped the arrow in his hand.
"Your Highness, there is a letter on it." Niu said.
Xiao Ming looked at the barbarian cavalry who turned back and said, "take it apart."
Niu Zhen took down the letter, scanned his eyes and gave it to Xiao Ming: "it's really the barbarian Taiji beshan on the opposite side. He's persuading his highness to surrender."
Beishan wrote in his heart: I would like to remember the friendship between Dayu and Jinzhang Khanate for many years, but I don't want to see the life of Cangzhou city destroyed. If the king of Qi is willing to surrender, my royal highness and safety will be guaranteed. If I don't realize it, Cangzhou City will never stay.
"Ha ha ha, this besan is interesting. In that case, who is willing to go out of the city and negotiate with the barbarians?" Xiao Ming said suddenly.
Lu Fei was annoyed when he heard the speech. He said angrily, "Your Highness is going to be the thief who surrendered. I, Lu Fei, won't be the first one to agree!"
"Xiao Ming, I'm really wrong about you. Thanks to me, I've come all the way from Chang'an to join you. Now the victory is in hand, but you have to surrender, and I won't agree!" Luo Xin said angrily.
Niu Zhen sighed, "you two idiots, don't you know what's a delaying tactic?"
Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly. When he saw Zhan Xingchang standing in front of him, Zhan Xingchang said, "Your Highness, it seems that I am the only one who is suitable to go."
"If you really want to go, Bei Shan is fickle. You may never come back." Xiao Ming said.
Zhan Xingchang looks light, he said: "eat the king's salary, loyal to the king's things, timid, not husband!"
The quality of a person can only be seen at the moment of crisis. Zhan Xingchang's thin body suddenly becomes tall in Xiao Ming's eyes.
Lu Fei and Luo Xin have come to understand at this time, and they all look respectful to Zhan Xingchang. Lu Fei said, "Zhan Sima, I've offended a lot before. I hope you'll forgive me. I didn't expect you to be a real man."
Zhan Xingchang hugged his fist and said, "it's all for your Highness's service. You go to battle to kill the enemy. I'm just showing off my tongue."
He then turned to Xiao Ming, "it shouldn't be too late, your highness, let me go out of the city."
This time, Xiao Ming just wanted to cheat Bei Shan, so it was very dangerous. He nodded and patted Zhan Xingchang on the shoulder.
Niu Zhen then asked someone to take pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Xiao Ming also wrote a letter, which means surrender is OK, but the terms of surrender need to be clearly negotiated.In the same way, Niu Zhen used his bow and arrow to shoot out the letter.
In the barbarian camp, Bei Shan's face was gloomy, and the power of artillery and powder can was vividly remembered.
After this retreat, the morale of the slave soldiers was greatly reduced.
Although the barbarian soldiers kept shooting the scattered slave soldiers, they still could not resist the rout.
At this time, the experience of dealing with the western regions made him decide to surrender.
Although he didn't believe that he would surrender when Cangzhou garrison had the advantage, he never gave up any chance.
But when the letter of persuasion was sent up, he suddenly found that the fire in the city had stopped.
After a while, the scouts sent a letter.
"Negotiation!" Bei Shan's expression was brilliant, "the king of Qi actually agreed to surrender."
Liu Xuan almost looked confused when he heard the speech, which was totally beyond his understanding. He said: "Taiji, the king of Qi is insidious and cunning. I'm afraid it's a tactic to slow down."
Bei Shan laughed. "It's natural. It doesn't matter if it's not. Everyone has a plan to slow down."
After a pause, he said to gultai: "take advantage of the night tonight, we must blow up the wall."
"Yes." Said gultai.
During these attacks, his slave soldiers suffered heavy losses. Although he was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey beshan's orders at this time.
On the battlefield, because of disobeying orders, there are many flag heads beheaded by this besandedge.
After waiting for a while, Bei Shan saw a man coming down from the wall of Cangzhou City. He thought he was an emissary.
Bei Shan then said to Liu Xuan, "you Han people know the Han people best. You can do it. If king Qi really surrenders, you can come back to me."
