Chapter 173: bloody battle!

The screams sounded again and again on the battlefield.
Niu Ben's lips trembled, but the bow and arrow in his hand were as ruthless as death's sickle.
Every time he kills a person, his heart feels more guilty, but he knows that behind him are thousands of people of the country of Da Yu, and he can't be merciless.
This ambivalence stirred his heart like thorns.
Xiao Ming's heart was also uncomfortable, killing one person and saving thousands of people, rationally speaking, this was right, but now that he did it with his own hands, a strong sense of guilt continued to strike.
These are all unarmed and ravaged by the barbarians of the people of Da Yu, and it is the Tongze they miss day and night that shoot them.
It's just that Xiao Ming understands that they must bear it, even if they are criticized by thousands in future history books, they must bear it.
The slaves fell one by one, and the barbarian cavalry laughed louder. They seemed to be mocking Niu Ben for doing a futile thing, because soon another group of slaves were driven over.
"General, let me go out, what is this!"
Lu Fei suddenly ran from the area he was defending, his face flushed with anger.
"General, let's go out of the city, otherwise what's the use of us cavalry!" the soldiers following Lu Fei shouted.
"Shut up!" Niu Ben said angrily, his voice was like Hong Zhong, "Not to mention that you only have a thousand people. Each of you is as skilled as the barbarian cavalry with bows and horses. Will you go out to die?"
"Could it be that you just watched the people come to die! They are also the people of the great Yu country!" Lu Fei's eyes split.
Luo Xin also walked over at this time. He grabbed Lu Fei and said, "Lieutenant Lu, don't be fooling around. Isn't the life of the soldiers a life?"
"Is the people's fate a fate? For you lords who are long in Chang'an, are the people all untouchables!" Lu Fei shook Luo Xin's hand.
Niu Ben stared at Lu Fei angrily, "If you continue to make a fool of yourself, Hugh will be ruthless, and you will be punished by military law."
"I'm not afraid, as long as I get out of the city to kill the enemy, you can look at my head when you come back." Lu Fei shouted.
"Lu Fei, this king knows that you will cause trouble, and you know why you have done so well. Does this king refuse to let you be the governor of Qingzhou? If this king asks you to command the defense of the city, I am afraid that the 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers are now You have fallen under the bows and arrows of the barbarians. You seem to be brave in doing this, but in fact it is just a brave man. You will not only ruin the 1,000 cavalry who followed you out of the city, but also ruin thousands of people, can you? Think more about you!" Xiao Ming scolded.
Lu Fei was also anxious, and it was only when he came back to his senses that he gradually understood.
"The barbarians, you'll beat me hard later." Lu Fei stomped his foot and smashed the city wall hard before turning back.
Niu Ben sighed, "This one is stunned, if you don't suffer a bit, this temper can't be changed."
At this time a new batch of slaves had arrived, and they walked towards the trenches again.
"Let go!"
Xiao Ming gritted his teeth and gave an order. These traps were used to kill barbarians, not these people.
His heart was bleeding.
People!
For Cangzhou City, sorry! Until next year's Qingming Festival, this king will pour a bowl of rice wine on your graves.
"Whizzing……"
Arrows poured down from the city, and the people driven by the barbarians continued to fall in a pool of blood.
But the barbarians continued to drive wave after wave of slaves, not only to destroy the trap, but also to destroy the stone pillar.
From noon to evening, the guards at the head of the city have been tense, and until the sun sets, the barbarians stopped driving the people to destroy the defense facilities in front of the city.
There is no moon tonight, and it's as dark as ink everywhere.
A bonfire gradually rises in the barbarian camp, and the smell of roasting sheep keeps floating from there. After tonight, tomorrow will be a battle.
After returning to the line to rest for a night, Xiao Ming was awakened by the deafening cry of killing the next day.
He ascended the city wall and saw thousands of slaves carrying a ladder and rushing towards the city wall with knives, guns and clubs.
The barbarian cavalry stood far away, staring at the siege slave like a supervising army.
At the 500-meter city wall, the position of the Barbarian's attack was concentrated on the city gate. At this time, Xiao Ming was standing in this position.
Yesterday the barbarians almost found out all the traps they had set on the outside. Today they repeated their old trick and drove the slave soldiers to attack the city.
These slave soldiers were also the people of the Great Yu Kingdom, but at this time they became the slave soldiers of the barbarians.
"Arrow!" Niu Ben roared.
The crossbowmen on the city wall immediately poured arrows down, and the slave soldiers carrying the ladder in the front fell to the ground one after another, while the slave soldiers at the back carried the ladder and continued to rush forward.
The first batch of assaulting slave soldiers totaled 3,000 people, and they were densely distributed on the battlefield with great momentum.
In Xiao Ming's eyes, this was more shocking than the entire school doing exercises on the playground.
The city is still dominated by crossbowmen. Since he can only defend passively in the next few years, Xiao Ming has increased the number of Qingzhou Army crossbowmen. Five thousand of the 20,000 Qingzhou Army are crossbowmen.
At this time, these crossbowmen exerted terrible long-range killing ability, and the power of crossbow arrows within a range of 100 meters was great.
However, these slave soldiers seemed to have also been trained. Soon there appeared a row of slave soldiers holding shields in front of them, and their speed slowed down.
But this formation allowed them to reduce casualties.
Zhan Xingchang frowned, his mood was complicated at this time, and his sympathy for these slaves suddenly disappeared, because at this time they became fierce enemies again.
"Sixty meters!" Zhan Xingchang suddenly yelled.
As soon as the sound fell, the slave soldiers rushing in front suddenly disappeared, and a large number of slave soldiers rolled into the trap.
One by one, the traps at 60 meters away were all triggered by the slave soldiers, and all the traps that Zhanxingchang dug this time were gone.
The other slaves did not stop ~EbookFREE.me~ For him, they can only survive by capturing Cangzhou City.
In this choice, they can only choose to live on their own.
"Liu Xuan, are you really sure that King Qi has a very powerful weapon?"
In the barbarian camp, a barbaric with bare arms and a white cloak asked, beside him was a big Yu country smuggler in a blue t-shirt.
"There is nothing wrong. Although I didn't see it, many people heard a loud noise when King Qi attacked Liujia Wubao, and when I passed Wubao, I saw a big hole in the wall."
Liu Xuan said.
"Well, Khan will come with a large army soon. Before that, we must test the true face of this weapon. If it is really there, I will give you a few words in front of Khan."
Liu Xuan looked flattering, "Thank you for the head of the Gultai Banner. If the Khan captured Cangzhou City and killed King Qi, he would also avenge my Liu family."
