"Your Highness, Qingzhou City has sent ten more guns, and the people who came also said that they have sent back some grape shells."
On the wall, an auxiliary soldier called to Xiao Ming.
"Is the grape ball here at last?" Xiao Ming suddenly has an impulse to cry.
Because grape ball production is very troublesome, although the equipment department has been in production, but the quantity is too small.
Although these grape bombs are also solid bombs, they are very small. A shell contains dozens or even hundreds of small solid bombs.
When these grape bullets are fired from the artillery, they are similar to shotguns. The range will be reduced, but the killing area will be greatly increased.
Because of this, the production of one grape pellet is equivalent to the production of dozens or hundreds of solid pellets, although the amount of materials used is basically the same.
Now the grape bullet is the best weapon to deal with the siege soldiers. However, when he looks out of the city, his face suddenly changes.
He said in an urgent voice: "set up all the guns transported to both sides of the city gate, quick!"
the auxiliary soldiers heard the words and immediately ran down the city wall.
At this time, Xiao Ming finds Luo Xin in the crowd. He shouts, "take ten groups of artillery down with me. Hurry up. It's too late."
Luo Xin is killing a red eye. He calms down. He looks outside the city and immediately understands what Xiao Ming means.
Two people quickly down the wall.
At this time, there were more than 2000 emergency soldiers under the city. Xiao Ming called out: "set up a hollow square array at the gate of the city!"
When the soldiers heard the words, they immediately changed their formation into five hollow square arrays. In the square array, two spearmen were in the front and three bowmen were in the back. They had the last arrow in their hands.
At the same time, the artillery immediately moved the artillery to both sides of the hollow square array, and the artillery packed the bags which were as thick as the muzzle into the artillery.
These bags are filled with solid bullets. Together, they are grape bullets.
Just now, both of them saw the barbarian soldiers rushing to the gate with more than ten powder barrels on the wall.
Originally, the gate of the city was the deepest place in the whole trench. Under the gate of the city, it was like a precipice. It was impossible to climb.
But after days of fighting, the trench under the gate was filled with corpses.
At this time, the barbarians outside the city were still filling the trench with corpses, which was basically completed. At this time, the barbarians carried out the powder keg just to blow up the city gate.
With the barbarian nature, after the city gate was broken, the cavalry charged below.
Because of this, Xiao Ming specially set up a simple version of hollow square array to deal with cavalry behind the gate.
This kind of hollow square is a square after the development of firearms, which is used to deal with cavalry.
The four sides of the hollow square array are soldiers shooting. The front and rear arrays protect each other, which can ensure that they can fire in any direction, so as to avoid being surrounded by cavalry flanks.
The cavalry in the middle of the hollow square array will fire from several sides.
At this time, Xiao Ming placed artillery on both sides, which made up for the shortage of firepower of the hollow square array.
"Boom!"
A thunderous sound accompanied by the city gate smashed sawdust flying together, the whole city gate collapsed.
Through the gate, Xiao Ming sees the barbarian's iron cavalry rushing into the city with his machete in his hand.
The head of the cavalry had blood colored wolf heads on their arms, which was the strongest cavalry under Bei Shan's command.
Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters!
As soon as the cavalry rushed into the city gate and entered Cangzhou City, Xiao Ming called out, "fire!"
"Boom!"
The continuous gunfire rang out, the barbarian cavalry turned into a mass of blood fog, fell in pieces, and the people and horses were broken.
The cavalry in the back were scared to death when they saw this, but they couldn't stop, so they had to go on.
But three cannons opened fire together, hundreds of cavalry died in an instant, and the rest of the cavalry rushed to the hollow square array.
At this time, the crossbow man immediately fired three times, and the cavalry fell on the way.
And the cavalry who got to the front of the battle saw the spear standing up, the horse hissed and was pierced by the spear in the neck.
A wave of cavalry fell, and a wave of cavalry rushed in again.
At this time, three cannons opened fire on the cavalry. The grape bullet turned into a shower of bullets at the cavalry at the moment when it came out of the gun, and another blood mist burst out.
The third wave of cavalry arrived, and four guns fired at the same time.
When another group of cavalry appeared, the first artillery had been filled.
The corpses piled up one layer after another. The corpses of barbarian soldiers and horses at the gate of the city piled higher and higher. The subsequent cavalry could no longer ride in. They got off their horses, climbed over the corpse mountain and continued to fill in.
At this time, the formation of the soldiers of Qingzhou army changed again. They became a very close rectangular battle array. Their tight armor and well-trained battle array made them like steel machines to drive the barbarians to the gate step by step.Gradually, the corpses of the barbarians at the gate piled up like a mountain, almost blocking the gate.
"The barbarians are retreating, the barbarians are retreating!"
I don't know who yelled on the wall, and immediately a kind of victory cheers rang through the whole Cangzhou City.
"The barbarians are retreating! The barbarians are retreating!" Luo Xin was stunned, and then he began to cry. But as he cried, he suddenly burst into tears.
This battle is too difficult to fight. Almost everyone is overdrawing their lives in this war.
Every soldier had not slept for days and nights.
As if in a dream, Xiao Ming murmured, "the barbarians have retreated."
Looking at the blood of the city gate, he rushed to the wall like crazy.
In his eyes, the barbarian army had been evacuated from the city wall. The barbarian army, which was once so powerful, was in a mess.
At the gate of the city, thousands of horses without owners were wandering.
"Your Highness, the barbarians have retreated!" Niu Yu was bathed in blood all over his body and his eyes were slightly red.
This time, the barbarians really retreated, because these barbarians retreated in such a panic, and the barbarian cavalry in the barbarian camp slowly retreated.
It's another day.
The battle lasted from morning to night. Did the barbarians finally retreat?
"Don't be careless. Bei Shan has many tricks. Maybe there are more." Xiao Ming said.
Niu Zhen said: "no, your highness. The barbarians really withdrew this time. I can guarantee that the barbarians lost a lot this time. Even Bei Shan didn't dare to take any more risks."
"Yes? But it's better to be careful. We can't relax our vigilance tonight. " Xiao Ming said.
Niu Zhen nodded and said, "yes, your highness!"
At this time, he and Xiao Ming went down the city wall together. When they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw a mountain of corpses. Niu Zhen took a breath. What happened here?
"gamble the gate with corpses." Without waiting for him to ask, Xiao Ming gave another order.
Looking at the king of Qi in front of him, Niu Zhen was silent. A war changed the prince a lot.
