"Yes, this is exactly the hundred-refined steel I need!"
Ming Dechang and others immediately became excited when they heard Huang Shan confirm that the bracelet was a hundred-refined steel.
"Quick, my dear nephew, go and make a repeating crossbow!"
Huang Shan picked up the bracelet and was about to leave, but heard Ming Yirou shouting from behind: "Brother Huang, I lent you this bracelet. You have to pay me for an identical one in the future!"
Ming Yirou's voice penetrated into everyone's ears, and Ming Dechang immediately turned around and scolded his daughter for being indifferent.
But Huang Shan stopped and handed over his daughter.
"Okay, we have an agreement!"
After saying that, Huang Shan held the bracelet and strode towards the blacksmith shop.
The master on the side asked his master in a low voice why he used such a thing at home.
Ming Dechang immediately strode forward while explaining to his master and Huang Shan.
"This is twelve years ago, on Xiaorou's birthday, nephew Huang Shanxian made Xiaorou cry. My brother Huang Shanxian gave it to Xiaorou as an apology."
Hearing that the bracelet had something to do with him, Huang Shan couldn't help but take another look, and then remembered the appearance of the bracelet in his heart. After the Beiman retreated and the situation stabilized, he made an identical one and gave it back to Ming Yirou.
Just when everyone found the hundred-refined steel that could be used to make bow strings, the northern barbarians outside the city came to kill them fiercely.
The soldiers and strong men guarding the city stood ready, their bows and crossbows pointed at the northern barbarians below the city.
However, this time the Northern Barbarians did not gallop their horses under the city as they did before, showing off their superb riding skills.
Their team suddenly split apart, and Aqina led Heduo and others on horseback, followed by a large number of people carrying ladders.
"No, they are going to attack the city!"
"Hurry and report to the county magistrate!"
After receiving the order, Wang Qi quickly ran down the city wall and went straight to the county government office.
At the same time, the government officials and strong men patrolling the city immediately beat gongs to signal the people to go home and take shelter.
Everyone was just indulging in the joy of having the hundred-refined steel.
The appearance of Wang Qi shattered everyone's joy.
"The Northern Barbarians are about to attack the city!"
In an instant, the faces of Ming Dechang, Huang Shan and others turned solemn.
Ming Dechang waved his hand to Huang Shan and said, "Nephew Huang, please quickly make a repeating crossbow with the craftsmen."
"Captain Zhao and I will lead people to support the soldiers defending the city."
After saying this, Ming Dechang didn't stay much. He took a few government officials and left with Wang Qi.
Huangshan saw this and turned to look at the nervous craftsmen.
"Don't think about anything else, let's build the repeating crossbow quickly!"
"The quicker we get our repeating crossbow built, the safer our families will be."
The craftsmen were stabilized by the Huangshan tree, and they immediately immersed themselves in hard work.
This side of the city wall.
Ming Dechang had just arrived with Zhao Captou for support when he saw the soldiers and people guarding the city wall with solemn expressions on their faces.
"what happened?"
Upon hearing this, the captain of the Forbidden Army walked quickly to Ming Dechang and pointed at the people under the city who were driven by the northern barbarians carrying ladders.
"Sir, these should be people from nearby villages."
"We can't do it!"
Ming Dechang saw the Northern Barbarians outside the city using whips to drive a large number of people to carry ladders, and his eyes were about to burst.
"Dog slave!"
However, Ming Dechang had no other option but to scold the Northern Barbarians angrily.
When the people of Daqian who were driven by the northern barbarians saw the soldiers and civilians of Daqian in the county town, they just cried and begged them not to shoot arrows.
"What should I do, sir?"
Everyone turned their attention to Ming Dechang.
Ming Dechang took a deep breath and beat the battlements heavily.
"As long as they climb the city wall, don't have any worries, kill them!"
"Everyone must remember that when they served the Northern Barbarians, they were no longer our subjects of Daqian."
"I know someone will take responsibility for all this infamy!"
The northern barbarians live outside the city.
Aqina looked proudly at the large number of driven people.
"Heduo, your method is very effective!"
"But didn't you say before that we were just here to put pressure?"
"There is no need to really fight a tough battle with Da Gan."
"Why are you making a gesture of attacking the city now?"
When Heduo heard this, he looked at Caoxian County and said seriously: "Until Duolu is dead, we just need to pretend."
"But now that Dolu has been shot and killed, if we go back like this, what will your brothers think?"
"If you want to become King Khan...that kind of person, you should understand why I want you to really attack Caoxian County."
Upon seeing this, Aqina lowered his head and began to think.
Yesterday, I sent Duolu to provoke the Dagan people, but Duolu was injured by the Dagan people's crossbow. When he was rescued, he only had one breath left.
He died of serious injuries last night, and his soul passed away to the heaven of immortality.
Originally, he did not intend to continue the siege and wanted to retreat.
But Hedu stopped him, saying that if he returned without success and lost Dolu's life in vain, he would lose the favor of his father Khan in the future.
Only by conquering the city in front of him and making great achievements can he cover up the fact that he caused Dolu Baibai's death.
Thinking of this, Aqina took a deep breath and his eyes became firm.
Now that you have secretly gone south, you should make great achievements and shock your brothers who look down on you!
"Let these lazy workers work faster!"
“Not only build ladders, but also battering rams!”
"This is what these big gangsters do!"
Aqina's order quickly spread to the rear, and more Daqian people who were plundered were forced to serve them under the threat of the steel knives of the northern barbarians.
These are people from villages close to the county seat. They were caught by the northern barbarians before they had time to escape.
The head of Cao County City.
Ming Dechang looked at the large number of people approaching the city wall, and he was struggling in his heart.
As the magistrate of Cao County, I should have protected these people.
But now, he had to give the order to shoot them.
"Sir, do we really want to shoot them?"
Hearing the slightly frightened questions from the defenders, Ming Dechang immediately grabbed the light crossbow and fired directly at the people who were watching the ladder approaching the city wall.
"Shoot them all!"
"Think about your family. Will they be able to live well after the city is destroyed?"
Finally, under the leadership of Ming Dechang, the people defending the city began to fire arrows at the compatriots below the city.
The large number of people who were driven below the city immediately cried and shouted, but they continued to approach the city wall driven by the northern barbarians.
Some of the strong men guarding the city couldn't accept it, so they leaned out and shouted at the city.
"Don't come here again!"
However, as soon as he shouted, he was shot in the arm by an arrow from the northern barbarians under the city.
He could only quickly retreat behind the battlements.
Seeing this situation, the strong soldiers guarding the city finally no longer hesitated.
Now either you die or I die!
Extra sympathy is of no use anymore.
"Dagan men, rush forward and rush to the city. There will be many rewards!"
The northern barbarians below the city shouted to encourage the large number of people who were driven by them.
The ladder was erected amidst the rain of arrows and placed at the top of the city of Caoxian County.
