The sound of fighting and roaring intertwined on the battlefield, and blood stained the grass on the ground.
On the land, the corpses of the slave soldiers gradually piled up, and the subsequent slave soldiers still rushed forward without fear of death.
The barbarians' bows and arrows are behind them, and the arrows of the soldiers of Cangzhou City are in front of them. There is still a glimmer of hope of survival when they capture Cangzhou City. If they can't attack the city, they will all be killed by the barbarians.
This was the order of the head of Huyantuo Banner Gurtai before the siege.
In order to survive, they no longer care about their colleagues on the opposite city wall. Behind the city wall is the land of Dayu, the people of Dayu.
No, they are not just for their lives, they actually have hatred in their hearts. They hate the country of Da Yu. When they hate their wives and children by the barbarians, why doesn't the country send troops!
They hated that when their homeland was burned to the limit by the barbarians, why didn't Dayu State send troops!
When they hated King Yong, why didn't Dayu State send troops when he was suing the palace!
This kind of hatred was brewing in their hearts day and night, and the country behind the city wall gradually became unfamiliar to them, and a desire for destruction grew in their hearts.
To die! Let's die together!
Gultai smiled at the slave soldiers who were constantly attacking the walls of Cangzhou City. The strategy of using slave soldiers as the forward was very popular among the barbarians, and the victory of wars pushed this strategy to a lofty position.
In their eyes, other nations are cowardly, and the threat of death and desire for life will make these slaves willing to be driven by the barbarians.
And the most important point is that these slaves did not see any hope of returning to their homeland.
No one or any army can fight the barbarian cavalry on the steppe.
And from time to time, they would instill in these slaves that their monarch abandoned their ideas, which made these slaves gradually lose the hope of the great Yu country.
Liu Xuan was also watching these desperately fighting slave soldiers, his expression was complicated, his eyes couldn't tell whether he was sympathetic or sad.
It's just that this emotion was quickly replaced by hatred.
In the Golden Horde, there are many people who advise the barbarians in Da Yu. They have depressed scholars and merchants between the two countries.
More are the descendants of the slaves. They have now fully integrated into the life of the barbarians, and the country of Da Yu is just a distant country to them.
Like many merchants who traveled to and from the grasslands, he believed that it was only a matter of time before the barbarians attacked Dayu.
For him, the word barbarian is nothing but the prejudice of the great Yu country against the barbarian. This is a country that has a complete bureaucratic and military system that does not lose to the great Yu country in terms of government affairs, people's livelihood, commerce, and skills.
And because of the Hexi Corridor and the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty, the barbarians made a lot of money by taxing the merchants along the road.
The dignitaries of the Great Yu state believed that the war between the barbarians and the Ottoman Empire was simply because the barbarians were bloodthirsty and militant, but they did not know that the barbarians and the Ottoman Empire were actually fighting for this trade route through the East and the West.
After all, the strength of the Ottoman Empire also benefited from this trade route. They imposed heavy taxes on merchants from the West to the East, which resulted in excessively high trade costs. Therefore, in recent years, Western merchants gradually abandoned this trade route. Open up a route to the east.
This incident made the barbarians quite annoyed, and then there was a war between the barbarians and the Ottoman Empire.
But the Ottoman Empire is equally powerful, and the barbarians killed one thousand and wounded eight hundred.
Liu Xuan recovered from his senses and looked at the battlefield again. At this time, the slave soldiers rushed over the stone pillars in front of the city wall and began to build the ladder.
At this time, the soldiers of the city wall attracted his attention, and all of these soldiers were wearing silver armor that covered the whole body.
He looked at Gurtai. At this time, Gurtai showed a playful look. He said: "You have also noticed that I have seen several similar armors in the Khan’s palace. It is said that this armor is from the West. Passed it over."
"It's the first time I have seen this kind of armor. I haven't gone back for a long time." Liu Xuan said.
Gultai frowned and said, "This kind of armor is not easy to deal with. Ordinary swords are of little use to them, and it takes a lot of silver to forge this kind of armor. When will you master this kind of armor? Forging, and forging so many armors."
"According to the information I got, King Qi seems to have mastered the forging technology of this armor, so this King Qi is not easy." Liu Xuan reminded Gurtai.
The nomadic tribe of the barbarians, one tribe is a banner, the small clan is the small banner, the middle clan is the middle banner, and the big clan is the big banner, and the leader is called the banner head.
The Huyantuo tribe is only a central banner in the Golden Horde.
Because of his outstanding contributions in the capture of Shanhaiguan, Tian Khan gave him all the land in Shanhaiguan.
So for him, this war is particularly important to him, because it will mean whether he can continue to expand his tribe’s territory.
Over the years, the population of the Huyantuo tribe has increased a lot. If the land within the Plenty Pass is regained, he believes that becoming the leader of the banner is only a matter of time.
"There are few princes of Dayu Kingdom that are useful, so how about wearing these armors, can they still withstand our bows and arrows? Change armored arrows." Gurtai curled his lips.
Seeing the slave soldiers rushing to the city, he waved to the cavalry beside him.
Two thousand barbarian archers immediately lined up and moved towards the wall.
On the head of the city at this time, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army kept throwing stones and rolling logs down and hitting the slave soldiers who were climbing the ladder.
The slave soldiers on the ladder continued to be killed and injured by stones and rolling logs, but one after another slave soldiers continued to climb upward.
"Hot oil!" Niu Ben looked at the battlefield situation and gave an order.
The slave soldiers marched forward, and the arrows under the city were as dense as hedgehogs. The wounded slave soldiers wailed in pain under the city, and soon died at the feet of the subsequent slave soldiers.
Inside the city wall, the hot kerosene has been boiled out, Niu Ben ordered, and the auxiliary soldiers immediately lifted the kerosene on the wall~EbookFREE.me~ These kerosene are used to deal with the ladder, as long as the ladder is not broken , These slave soldiers will keep climbing.
Xiao Ming had been observing the situation on the battlefield, when he noticed that the barbarian archers began to move forward.
It's just that this is not where he cares most, because he also found that the slave soldiers under the city were digging the roots of the city wall.
"You guys, kill those slave soldiers!"
Xiao Ming directed a pair of crossbows to point at the slave soldiers who were digging under the wall. These slave soldiers had only one purpose of digging holes, and that was to blow up the city wall with gunpowder.
The crossbowman got the order and immediately fired at these slaves. In the scream of victories, these slaves immediately fell into a pool of blood.
At this time, the archers of the barbarians were getting closer and closer, they were to cover the slaves from attacking the city.
At this time, Xiao Ming shouted: "Tailor, get on the gunpowder can!"
