Chapter 180: Night attack

When Zhan Xingchang came out of the barbarian camp, the surrounding barbarian soldiers whistled contemptuously.
This time he was responsible for coming to negotiate with the barbarians, but he had not seen that Beishantaiji.
It was a Han Chinese named Liu Xuan who met him.
He immediately put forward the conditions for King Qi's surrender: the barbarians withdrew from Shanhaiguan, and assigned Youzhou and other places to the king of Qi. From then on, the king of Qi became a minister to the barbarians.
Of course, this condition belongs to the lion's open mouth, and as he expected it did not achieve any results.
The barbarians also gave the condition that they open the gate of Cangzhou, they will not harm King Qi, they can give King Qi a state as a fief.
Naturally, Zhan Xingchang would not agree.
However, Zhan Xingchang did not refuse in a word, but said that he went back to the city to ask King Qi for instructions.
"His Royal Highness, this time we can postpone for three or five days before we go out and continue talking." Zhan Xingchang said, "But in my opinion, this barbarian is not too sad about this matter.
"This Beishan warfare has always violated the rules. It's hard to predict what he will do next, just stop quietly, but this negotiation is generally conducted while talking."
After finishing speaking, he said to Luo Xin: "Don't be idle tonight, just give the barbarian camp a few shots, let them sleep and don't want to sleep peacefully."
"His Royal Highness, leave this to me." Luo Xin said bloodthirstyly.
This negotiation was originally dispensable. Xiao Ming was just washing Beishan, but he knew that Bei Shan might also be washing him.
In this case, everyone continues to hurt each other.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry, the siege is always more anxious than the defender.
After a day of fighting, the sky gradually darkened. In the evening when the barbarians were burning and cooking, all of a sudden the artillery on the city wall blasted, and black solid bullets flew toward the barbarian camp.
In the spectacles, the barbarians who were eating were in chaos, and many barbarians were hit by artillery shells.
Bei Shan was eating at this time, and the movement shocked him. He immediately ran out of the camp, holding a shield to protect himself, fearing being hit by an iron egg.
Gultai was pointing at the city wall of Cangzhou at this time and yelling at him. They never imagined that as soon as the messenger of the negotiation had left, the defenders would attack.
The brutal soldiers who were eating immediately regrouped, but they waited for a long time and there was no second sound.
There was no other movement on the wall, so he decided to eat again.
As night fell, the bonfires in the barbarian camp were extremely dazzling. Obviously, these barbarians did not know the Cangzhou city guards. They looked at them more clearly than they looked at the Cangzhou guards.
Luo Xin has been on the city wall, and he is always holding a telescope to stare at the barbarian camp. Every once in a while, he will fire at the barbarian camp.
Then the barbarian camp will be chaotic for a while, after all, no one wants to be killed by an iron ball in his dream.
This fear made many barbarian cavalry unable to sleep at all, but kept staring at the fire on the wall.
They found that every time the iron eggs would arrive in the camp after the fire, so whenever they saw the fire, they would run around trying to escape.
At this time, Bei Shan couldn't sleep either, even though the guards held up shields to protect him.
He couldn't sleep one because of the constant sound of artillery, and the other was waiting for news that the city wall was blown up.
It's just that he quickly saw the fire shining under the Cangzhou city wall, and the defenders of Cangzhou city seemed to pour fire oil below.
"Encourage me at night, your Highness said, this barbarian might send someone to bury the explosives at night, and then we will go to heaven together."
Lu Fei will watch the night tonight.
He poured the kerosene down, and the corpses piled up under the city and the broken ladder instantly burned.
Since Xiao Ming saw that the barbarians were planning to use gunpowder to break the city, he made the defenders on the wall always pay attention to the slave soldiers who dug holes.
Therefore, every time such slave soldiers appeared, the defenders at the head of the city would always shoot them first.
"Yes, Lieutenant." The soldier was frightened by Lu Fei's words, and the sleepy people immediately opened their eyes.
As they were talking, they suddenly saw a figure in a corner that was not covered by flames. A soldier shouted, "There are people down there!"
Suddenly, the arrow flew to that corner, and a scream came out one after another.
Only this figure fell down, and another wave of figures ran over again.
Lu Fei frowned, picked up a torch and threw it down. The flames shining brightly with a dense group of slave soldiers.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the slave soldiers attacked the city again.
"Throw the gunpowder can, quickly!" Lu Fei shouted.
The barbarians were also really cunning, and in order not to be targeted by artillery, they even attacked by night.
"Boom!" The voice sounded again.
This immediately shocked everyone in the city. Xiao Ming, who had just fallen asleep, immediately got up and boarded the city wall.
At the same time, the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air came from the sky, and the archers of the barbarians also hid in the dark and shot.
In the darkness, the Cangzhou garrison could not see the savage soldiers hiding in it, and could only counterattack indiscriminately. The casualties suddenly increased compared with the daytime.
"The gunpowder cans were thrown under the city wall." Xiao Ming shouted as he stepped on the city wall.
At this time, Bei Shan organized an attack, with the only purpose of burying the gunpowder keg under the city wall. He must not be allowed to succeed at this time.
So you can no longer worry about consuming the gunpowder cans at this time.
The shield hand built a shield wall in the dark, and the soldiers at the head of the city kept throwing gunpowder cans down.
The screams and explosions piled up layers of corpses under the city.
Looking at the barbarian camp in the distance, Xiao Ming looked serious, and this Bei Shan was indeed a difficult character to deal with.
The artillery had no target, so naturally it was impossible to fire it. This night was destined to be difficult.
After another night of fierce fighting, more than six hundred gunpowder cans were consumed overnight~EbookFREE.me~The corpses under the city wall piled up thick.
However, these gunpowder cans were not thrown in vain. The corpses of the slave soldiers had already filled the trenches and naturally filled the pits dug by the barbarians below.
It won’t be that simple to make holes in the walls.
"His Royal Highness, if this continues, the powder cans will not be enough." Luo Xin worried.
I wanted to save the use of gunpowder cans, but Bei Shan's move completely broke Xiao Ming's plan. If there were a few more night attacks like this, I'm afraid the city wall would really be over.
Niu Ben saw Xiao Ming’s concern, and he said to Xiao Ming: "His Royal Highness, don’t worry, the sharpness of the artillery is unstoppable. This can naturally defeat the barbarians, but why did Your Highness forget that the victory of the war lies in every big The people of Chongqing, when there are no artillery and powder cans, we can still use flesh and blood to block the barbarians' attack."
Xiao Ming was taken aback, he looked at the soldiers on the city wall, yes, when there is nothing, at least he still has these soldiers who are not afraid of death, what fear he has!
