Chapter 176: Barbarian Army

Last night, Xiao Ming fell asleep after eating. The whole night was full of battles in Cangzhou City.
The horrified eyes of the slave soldiers, the splattering blood, the blood mist raised by the explosion of the gunpowder canister.
He was still an otaku who enjoyed a favorable environment in the laboratory more than half a year ago, but now he has to face this cruel cold weapon war to survive.
This kind of scene is a hundred times, a thousand times more frightening than watching the street fighting in person.
When the black crowd rushed over with an angry roar, this in itself was a kind of mental pressure.
It's just that he has to bear these now and he has to get used to it, because his future life is likely to be accompanied by such scenes.
On the city wall, the supplies that were consumed yesterday were transported again. These recruits who had never experienced war seemed to have matured a lot in one night.
Yesterday's victory made them understand that as long as they unite, the barbarians are not terrible.
"His Royal Highness, it is estimated that the barbarians will not attack again in the past two days." Niu Ben said to Xiao Ming while looking at the barbarian camp with a single telescope.
Xiao Ming was also looking at the barbarian camp. At this time, a bonfire was still burning in the barbarian camp. The slaves were driven to re-make engineering equipment such as aerial ladders as they shuttled between the camps.
But the barbarians were roasting cattle and sheep around the campfire, and the smell of meat came out, which made many soldiers swallow.
"Don't be greedy, when you win, this king will let you eat meat!" Xiao Ming said to a type of soldier.
"Hey..."
The soldiers around immediately burst into laughter.
Niu Ben said: "His Royal Highness is right. The barbarians have always robbed us. When we win, we will also grab their cattle and sheep so that you can eat enough."
"It's hard to say, I'll take the cavalry out of the city and grab you a barbarian wife back!" Lu Fei said rudely without knowing when to come.
Now the soldiers laughed louder.
In the army, the soldiers don’t eat it. After all, these soldiers are basically illiterate. The most important thing is to say something. He said: "Have you seen the land outside the city? Is this land fertile?"
"Fertile!" the soldiers shouted in unison.
Xiao Ming continued: "Well, from now on, every time you kill a barbarian, this king will promise you this ten acres of land outside Cangzhou city. The more you kill, the more land. When one day this king leads you Take back Shanhaiguan, you will become a big rich man."
"His Royal Highness, are you serious?" Suddenly a soldier asked.
"This king spit on one nail, Lieutenant Lu and Dudu Niu are all here." Xiao Ming said to the soldier.
The soldier showed an expression of excitement. He said: "His Royal Highness, I used to be a member of Youzhou, and I fled to Cangzhou. If I hit Shanhaiguan one day, can I choose a piece of land in my hometown?"
"Of course." Xiao Ming said.
The soldier nodded with a firm expression. He said, "His Royal Highness, many of the Qingzhou Army's hometowns are in Youzhou. For your Highness's words, we must desperately kill the enemy."
Niu Ben and Xiao Ming glanced at each other and nodded in satisfaction.
In the army, a soldier's desire to fight is a very important factor in winning the war.
For a soldier, their desire for expedition is basically not great. This time the Qingzhou army can guard Cangzhou with high morale. A large part of the factor is that they are behind their land and their parents.
In the future, if Shanhaiguan is to be retaken, these soldiers will have relatively fewer wishes.
At this time, the wishes of the soldiers who originally lived in Youzhou will be stronger.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming came up with an idea, "Dudu Niu, this king wants to build a special army called Guan Ning Iron Cavalry."
"Guan Ning Iron Cavalry?" Niu Ben looked playfully, and he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this pass should be Shanhaiguan. It would be Ning Yuan instead. It seems that His Highness has a long-term goal."
Xiao Ming nodded. This Guanning cavalry was actually the three most capable armies in the late Ming Dynasty, and Guanning cavalry was one of them.
At that time, he followed the strategy of guarding the Liao soil with the Liao people and nurturing the Liao people with the Liao soil, and selected elites from the Liao people to form the Guanning iron cavalry that later made the Jin army frightened.
Xiao Ming had the same goal this time. It was precisely to form a cavalry with the old army of King Yong and the old people. This cavalry would inevitably be able to fight the barbarians with all his strength in his native land.
"Exactly." Xiao Ming then said his thoughts to Niu Ben.
Niu Ben nodded, "Well, His Royal Highness thought for a long time, and will finally admire it. It's just that the country is short of horses. The horses of the cavalry formed are a problem."
"Without horses, we will find a way to grab them from the barbarians." Xiao Ming said, looking at the horses in the barbarian camp.
Niu Ben shook his head. He didn't believe that he could still a horse from the barbarian in this situation.
Defending the city is still insufficient, so the offense need not be mentioned.
As Niu Ben said, the Huyantuo tribe has not attacked the city again for three consecutive days.
On the third night, a large army appeared in the north of Huyantuo camp.
Looking through the binoculars, Xiao Ming saw a wolf head painted on the flags deployed in the army. This is the king flag that only the barbarian khan has the right to carry.
At the same time, four artillery pieces from the Equipment Department also arrived in Cangzhou City, along with 500 gunpowder cans and a lot of granular gunpowder.
That night, Xiao Ming ordered the soldiers to erect all the artillery on the fort.
This time the barbarian army could not be seen at a glance, and he could not judge how many barbarian army had come.
But only at this scale, I am afraid that the number of slave soldiers is enough for him to have a headache.
As the war is approaching, the atmosphere in the city suddenly rises, and everyone's face has a heavy look.
"Can you hold it?" This is the question mark in everyone's heart, but the answer will soon be solved...
The barbarian camp~EbookFREE.me~ Gurtai and Liu Xuan entered the king's account at the same time. Inside, a tall man like an iron tower was sitting. Gurtai looked a little unhappy and said, "Beishantaiji, hasn't the sweat come? ?"
This person was Bei Shan who was an emissary in Chang'an City. He said: "Why does a little Cangzhou city need a father to kiss him?"
"Then Beishantaiji carries the king flag, isn't it disrespectful to the sweat?" Gultai's voice was a little hoarse.
Bei Shan stood up from his seat and said, "This is Father Khan’s order. Wang Qi is only here to scare the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom. What? Dissatisfied?"
"How dare I disobey the words of the Great Khan," Gurtai said.
Bei Shan sneered. This Gurtai had always been close to his elder brother, and he had never seen him.
After all, he would be his elder brother to inherit the Khan status in the future, and he would only go to a remote place to establish his own Khanate.
