Become a feudal king from today

"Your Highness, look!"

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

Different from last night, the snow outside the city is now completely white, as if there had just been a heavy snowfall last night.

These snow-white things are none other than Beidi's tents.

"There's another place there." Chang Wei pointed to a corner of the Beidi camp.

There, some Beidi soldiers were moving some metal objects out of the camp and lined them up in front of the camp.

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

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

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

There are now more than thirty such firecrackers on the city wall, ready for use when the Beidi people attack the city.

These muskets are not very heavy and can be carried by horses and camels.

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

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

"Beidi people learn quickly." Chang Wei gritted his teeth.

In the battle of Ningjin Dusi, Dasong was robbed of a large number of craftsmen.

These craftsmen brought many Dasong techniques to Beidi.

Since then, Beidi has been basically indistinguishable from Dasong in terms of armor, weapons and primitive firearms.

The only advantage Dasong had was gone.

Even because the Beidi people were good at fighting, Da Song was at a disadvantage.

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

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

At the same time, he was speechless.

This kind of thing has happened many times in modern times.

The grassland learned the institutional technology of the Central Plains, and finally reversed the Central Plains.

Chang Wei nodded.

At this moment, a trumpet sound suddenly sounded from the Beidi camp.

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

This time they no longer mounted horses but took up swords and shields.

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

Mounting is cavalry, dismounting is infantry.

After hitting a place, you can immediately mount your horse and move quickly, and you can't catch up.

It is simply an ancient mechanized army.

So culturally they are barbarians, but militarily they are not weak.

"Get ready for war." Every move of the Beidi people means that they are going to attack the city.

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

"Dong dong dong..."

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

The soldier in charge of the cannon loaded the stone bullet into the muzzle and pointed it at the Beidi soldiers below.

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

The entire Yancheng became solemn at this moment.

outside the city.

Kutu stood on the temporary general platform and looked at the Yancheng soldiers on the city wall, with Mu Tuo at his side.

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

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

As long as Yancheng is captured, everything will be his.

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

The wooden support goes down from the point platform.

Amidst the rumbling drums of Yancheng, the sound of horns sounded.

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

Mixed in with the ladder procession were soldiers carrying shields.

Fifty cloud echelons were arranged in sequence, and each cloud echelon was followed by a large number of Beidi soldiers.

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

"Boom boom boom..."

The Beidi Yun echelon team had just formed their formation when suddenly a burst of fire broke out.

A burst of white smoke rose from the hundreds of fire guns lined up in front of the camp.

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

"Be careful with your head." The generals at all levels on the city wall shouted.

After his words fell, black dots fell from the sky.

A projectile hit the city wall and immediately shattered.

A projectile fell into the middle of the soldiers. When they saw something falling, the soldiers immediately moved away.

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

But with the protection of the armor, the injury was not too serious, and he stood up again after a while.

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

The shattered shards of stone bullets hit his armor with a slight metallic clang.

Xu Lie and the guards protected Zhao Xu.

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 it, and with the armor, it wouldn't be a big problem as long as he wasn't hit directly on the head.

If he withdrew from this little danger, wouldn't it be a joke?

Furthermore, he also wants to personally participate in the war, so this is not a training for him.

Xu Lie saw that dissuasion was of no use, so he had to be vigilant and stare at the sky to prevent King Yan from being hit by stones.

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

Zhao Xu secretly calculated that it took almost a minute for this fire gun to be fired. It 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 bombardment of firecrackers continued for a quarter of an hour before stopping.

At this time, there was a cry of killing.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei looked towards the bottom of the city, and the Beidi people rushed over carrying ladders.

"Light the fire." Chang Wei shouted.

At his command, the firecrackers on the city wall roared.

Stone bullets flew towards the Beidi army one after another.

However, like the Beidi people's fire guns, the error of the stone bullets is too large, and they often fail 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 people's offensive.

"Crossbow in hand!" Chang Wei shouted.

The distance the fire gun can hit is still very far.

The accidental collision caused some losses to the Beidi people.

But when the distance is close, the slow-firing fire blunderbuss will have little effect.

Chang Wei knew this and immediately asked the crossbowman to release the arrow downwards.

"Whizzing……"

Upon receiving the order, the crossbowman immediately stepped forward and fired arrows at the echelon of Beidi people from a high position.

Arrows flew towards the Beidi people like raindrops.

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

When the Beidi soldiers behind saw this, they immediately stepped forward to replace the fallen soldiers.

This time they were on guard, and the shield bearers in the ladder room immediately raised their shields to their heads to protect the soldiers carrying the ladder.

With the protection of the shield, the ladder continued to approach the city wall.

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

The soldiers immediately abandoned the ladder team and aimed at the soldiers following the ladder.

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

Chang Wei had already prepared these necessary materials for defending the city before the Beidi army arrived.

The purpose is to strike again after the ladder reaches the city.
