Chapter 259: Army to

Seeing Xiao Ming's arrival, the soldiers from the Cangzhou Camp became more and more hardworking in training.
Looking at these simple soldiers, Xiao Ming said to Lu Fei, "I'm afraid you are going to enter the grassland again."
"The barbarian army is dispatched?" Lu Fei couldn't help asking at this time.
Xiao Ming nodded, "Yes, the scouts came to report that the blood wolf tribe is coming to Cangzhou city with the purpose of destroying the new city wall. This time the barbarian army is mighty, and the rear is bound to be empty. Good time."
"Hey, the general is waiting to go to the grassland again to retrieve some horses. Your Majesty, I will gather the men and horses to set off now. In addition, these recruits will also bring them this time. The best training is actual combat. This time I will go out. Our cavalry is more familiar than before," Lu Fei said.
"Can they?" Xiao Ming looked at these recruits who had only been trained for one month with some worry.
"His Royal Highness, we are basically fighting a night attack. We will not fight the barbarians right away. It is enough for these recruits to ride horses," Lu Fei said.
One month is enough time for these soldiers to learn how to ride horses. After all, riding a horse is relatively easy. The real difficulty is being able to make various movements on horseback.
In this regard, the soldiers of Dayu are inferior to the barbarians.
Because of this, the cavalry of Great Yu State always suffers when fighting against the barbarian cavalry, because the barbarian has the ability to turn around and shoot arrows while running away. It is very flexible on the horse, and will not fall off the horse with violent movements. Come down, as if sticking to a horse.
However, the cavalry of Dayu State would not do well, and they would often fall off their horses.
However, what Lu Fei said this time is not without reason. Only in actual combat can you train troops as quickly as possible. Only at the critical moment of life and death can people stimulate their greatest potential.
Considering that this attack on the grassland was not a frontal operation, these recruits were again carried by the veteran Yuzi, so he nodded.
After all, in this era, sometimes it is just a soldier to catch a strong man, and training is far from easy.
After talking to Lu Fei about this, Xiao Ming went to Niu Ben again. This time Xiao Ming decided to let Niu Ben stay in Cangzhou City. After all, the defenders of Cangzhou City needed him to command.
During this time, the Qingzhou Army also moved from Qingzhou to Cangzhou, and the number of people in Cangzhou City even exceeded the scale of the last Cangzhou battle.
After all, there is no trivial matter in the war, there can be no negligence, Xiao Ming must be prepared.
"Since the general will not lead out, two cavalry are also needed to go out of the grassland this time, so who will lead the other cavalry?" Niu Ben asked.
Lu Fei said loudly at this time: "I will recommend Thunder. This kid is from Youzhou and is very familiar with Youzhou. This time I will be able to avoid the barbarians in time or rely on his guidance."
Niu Ben nodded. Although Lu Fei is a thorny head, he has always been upright and will not be cronyism. That said, this thunder must be exceptional.
There are too few cavalry generals now. This time he led the team with several better generals, but these generals are veterans, not from Youzhou. The purpose of this Xiao Ming training Guanning cavalry this time is not consistent.
He then said: "His Royal Highness intends to train Guan Ning cavalry, and this cavalry has to promote more generals in Youzhou. If this is the case, let Thunder come."
Xiao Ming nodded. He also had contact with this thunder. He had a bit of dexterity. Youzhou will continue to harass the barbarians in the future. This requires someone to be permanently stationed in Cangzhou.
After all, Niu Ben and Lu Fei still have to take control of the situation in Qingzhou, and here can only be handed over to Guan Ning Iron Cavalry.
And Xiao Ming has his own set of development strategies for Guan Ning.
Very simple, let Guan Ning Tieqi grow independently.
In the future, he will indulge Guanning cavalry to burn and loot on the grassland. If he wants to expand the scale of Guanning cavalry, he has to let them go to the grassland to grab horses and train new recruits.
This will be a very wild cavalry. However, in order to prevent loss of control, Xiao Ming will still send Chang Shi into the Guanning cavalry. The behavior of this army can be wild, but the mind cannot be wild. The army must be controlled by him anyway. Hands.
He didn't want this Guanning cavalry to eventually become the Guanning cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.
Assigning the generals to the grassland this time, Niu Ben asked Lu Fei and Lei Ming to go back to rectify the soldiers and prepare to set off.
Niu Ben and Xiao Ming, Zhan Xingchang climbed to the tower to arrange the next defense.
The purpose of the barbarians this time was not to attack the city, but to destroy the city wall. Xiao Ming believed that Bei Shan certainly did not want to consume too much of his power in Cangzhou City at this time.
Therefore, after the three people discussed, they decided to bombard the barbarian army indiscriminately, regardless of the consumption of ammunition.
After all, Cangzhou City has already stored a lot of gunpowder during this time, and there is no need to worry about the ammunition being used up soon like last time.
That night, Niu Ben and Lei Ming took the cavalry into the grassland from the cave in the dark of the night. According to the news from the scouts, the barbarian army could reach the city of Cangzhou tomorrow.
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Ming and others got up early. The craftsmen who built the city wall had all withdrawn into the city. The Qingzhou Army entered the trenches and the Cangzhou Army’s trebuchet was also ready.
A big battle is on the horizon.
"His Royal Highness, here comes." At noon, Niu Ben pointed to the distance and said.
Through the binoculars, Xiao Ming saw the barbarian army pressing over like a dark cloud. Looking at it, the entire sky was covered with darkness, and the slave soldiers walking in the front.
These slaves were dressed in shabby clothes and held a variety of weapons in their hands.
After the barbarian army appeared, the atmosphere on the battlefield became unprecedentedly stagnant, and every soldier tensed his nerves, waiting for the barbarian to sound the horn of attack.
"Woo..." The low horns rang on the grassland.
The barbarians drove the slave soldiers to attack the trench circle outside Cangzhou city five hundred meters away.
On the city wall, Luo Xin was standing in the middle with a red flag in his hand, frequently sending out semaphores~EbookFREE.me~ The artillery reloaded and aimed according to the semaphore.
"Fire!"
Xiao Ming gave an order, and a hundred artillery on the city wall roared in unison, and the shells were focused on the attacking slave soldiers.
"Ah..." A series of screams sounded.
The cannonballs caused a fog in the crowd. Although the slaves were dispersed as much as possible, the bounce of a hundred cannonballs on the ground still killed a large number of slaves.
Although these slave soldiers knew about the artillery in Cangzhou City, many people saw it for the first time. Before many soldiers could react, they saw a bunch of people falling beside them, all of them looked miserable.
And when they looked forward, they saw that the soldiers rushing to the trench suddenly blew up with the sound of an explosion, their limbs shattered, and a shower of blood.
Immediately afterwards, there was only the scene of limbs flying in their eyes, and there was only a thunderous explosion in their ears.
