Chapter 106: Attack

"Your Highness, look!"

In the morning, Zhao Xu came to the city wall early after breakfast. Read М

Unlike last night, the outside of the city is now covered with snow, as if a heavy snow had just fallen last night.

These white objects are nothing else but the tents of the Northern Di people.

"And there." Chang Wei pointed to a corner of the Northern Di people's tent.

There, some Northern Di soldiers were moving some metal objects out of the camp and lining them up in front of the camp.

These metal objects are not very long, about one meter, like a tube.

The mouth of the tube is as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and the wall of the tube is not very thick.

It is the fire gun currently used by the Dasong Army.

There are more than 30 such fire guns on the city wall now, ready for use by the Northern Di people in siege.

These fire guns are not very heavy and can be carried by horses.

Although the power of this thing is far from that of real artillery.

But the stone bullets fired during the war can still cause some trouble to the soldiers.

"The Beidi people are really quick learners." Chang Wei gritted his teeth.

In the battle of Ningjindusi, a large number of craftsmen were plundered from Dasong.

These craftsmen brought a lot of Dasong's technology to Beidi.

Since then, Beidi has basically been the same as Dasong in terms of armor, weapons and primitive firearms.

The only advantage Dasong had was gone.

In fact, because the Beidi people were good at fighting, Dasong was at a disadvantage.

So he was quite annoyed to see that these things that Dasong had originally used to deal with the Beidi people were now used against him.

"Don't underestimate your enemies, otherwise you will capsize in the ditch." Zhao Xu said lightly.

At the same time, he was a little speechless.

Such things have happened many times in modern times.

The grassland learned the system and technology of the Central Plains, and finally pushed back the Central Plains.

Chang Wei nodded.

At this moment, the sound of a horn suddenly rang out from the Beidi camp.

The Beidi soldiers who were originally in the camp kept coming out of it.

This time they no longer rode horses, but picked up swords and shields.

This is the advantage of cavalry in the cold weapon era.

Mounting a horse is cavalry, and dismounting is infantry.

After attacking a place, you can immediately mount a horse and move quickly, and no one can catch up.

It is simply an ancient mechanized force.

So they are barbaric in culture, but they are not weak in military.

"Get ready for war." Every move of the Beidi people means attacking the city.

Chang Wei responded with a yes, and asked the soldiers to beat the war drums.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

The heavy and majestic drum sounded, and the faces of the soldiers on the city wall immediately became serious.

The soldiers in charge of the fire guns loaded the stone bullets into the muzzles and aimed at the Beidi soldiers below.

After the drums of the north gate sounded, the other three city gates sounded the war drums one after another.

The whole Yancheng became solemn at this moment.

Outside the city.

Kutu stood on the temporary platform and looked at the Yancheng soldiers on the city wall, with Mutuo serving beside him.

"Attack the city." A trace of enthusiasm emerged from Kutu's face.

There are countless gold, silver, jewels, and stunning beauties in Yancheng.

As long as Yancheng is captured, all of these will be his.

And his last trade failure will become insignificant in this glory.

Mutuo stepped down from the generals' platform.

Amid the rumbling drums of Yancheng, the sound of the horn sounded.

At this time, teams carrying ladders appeared in front of the camp.

Mixed in the ladder teams were soldiers holding shields.

Fifty ladder teams were arranged in sequence, and each ladder team was followed by a large number of Beidi soldiers.

These Beidi soldiers wore light armor, held scimitars, and had more than ten thin braids in their messy hair.

"Boom boom boom..."

The Beidi ladder team had just lined up when a burst of fire suddenly broke out.

More than a hundred fire guns arranged in front of the camp emitted a burst of white smoke.

After the white smoke, the stone-ground projectiles soared into the air and flew more than a hundred meters to hit the city wall.

"Be careful of your head." Generals at all levels on the city wall shouted.

As his voice fell, black dots fell from the sky.

Some bullets hit the city wall and shattered instantly.

Some bullets fell into the middle of the soldiers. Seeing something falling, the soldiers immediately dodged.

There were also a few unlucky guys who didn't have time to dodge and were hit by stone bullets and fell to the ground.

However, with the protection of armor, they were not seriously injured and stood up again after a while.

A stone bullet fell on the city wall in front of Zhao Xu.

The fragments of the stone bullet hit his armor and made a slight metal collision sound.

Xu Lie and the guards protected Zhao Xu in front of him.

Seeing the stone bullets falling continuously, he said: "Your Highness, go hide under the city, it's too dangerous here."

"No need." Zhao Xu said lightly.

He observed for a while, with the help of armor, as long as he was not hit directly on the head, it would not be a big problem.

If he withdrew at this little danger, wouldn't he become a joke?

Besides, he also wanted to participate in the war himself, which was a test for him.

Seeing that his persuasion was useless, Xu Lie had to be vigilant at all times, staring at the sky to prevent the King of Yan from being hit by stones.

After a round of musket bombardment, almost half a minute later, another wave of stone bullets fell on the city wall.

Zhao Xu secretly calculated that this musket could only fire one shot every minute, which was too slow and not powerful enough to determine the outcome of a battlefield.

After this battle, he must let the Beidi people see what real firearms are.

The musket bombardment continued for a quarter of an hour before stopping.

At this time, a shout of killing sounded.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei looked down at the city, and the Beidi people rushed over with their ladders.

"Ignite." Chang Wei shouted.

Under his command, the fire guns on the city wall roared.

Stone bullets flew towards the Beidi army.

However, like the Beidi people's fire guns, the stone bullets had too much error and often failed to hit the target.

Only some unlucky Beidi soldiers were hit and lay on the ground wailing.

But this still could not weaken the Beidi offensive.

"Crossbowmen!" Chang Wei shouted.

The fire guns were still fired at a long distance.

The accidental hit caused some losses to the Beidi people.

But at a close distance, the fire guns that fired very slowly were not very effective.

Chang Wei knew this very well and immediately asked the crossbowmen to shoot arrows downwards.

"Swoosh..."

After receiving the order, the crossbowmen immediately stepped forward and shot arrows at the Beidi people's ladder team from a high position.

Arrows flew towards the Beidi people like raindrops.

Immediately, more than 20 people fell in a Beidi cloud ladder team, and the rest could not hold the cloud ladder and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the Beidi soldiers behind immediately stepped forward to replace the fallen soldiers.

This time they were prepared, and the shield bearers between the cloud ladders immediately raised their shields above their heads to protect the soldiers carrying the cloud ladders.

With the protection of the shields, the cloud ladders kept approaching the city wall.

Chang Wei shouted at this time: "Shoot the soldiers behind."

The soldiers immediately gave up the cloud ladder team and aimed at the soldiers behind the cloud ladder.

When the cloud ladder arrived at the foot of the city, Chang Wei shouted again: "Throw stones and pour hot oil."

These necessary supplies for defending the city were prepared by Chang Wei before the Beidi army arrived.

The purpose was to strike again after the cloud ladder arrived at the foot of the city.
