This time, Chen Mu simply ordered to set up a siege formation.

What is special is that the Great Xia army did not launch an attack at the nearest east gate, but deliberately went around the north gate.

The heavy artillery was in the middle, and after adjusting the distance, the cannon slid along the rails to the ground, and then inserted the bracket into the earth.

The light artillery does not need to get out of the car, but directly stops the car on both sides of the heavy artillery, maintains a flat fire angle, and prepares to attack the enemy army that meets the battle.

The musketeers were on the flank, protecting the flanks of the artillery.

When ready, Chen Mu gave the order, and the heavy artillery fired.

Fifty explosive bombs whizzed into the sky and exploded at the head of the city.

This time, the enemy troops in the Black Earth Fortress knew the difference in range, so they came out directly, and there were even more than the last time.

Chen Mu saw at a glance that there were about 10,000 people, all of whom were holding hammers and wearing civilian clothes.

This time, Chen Mu did not let the light artillery fire, but let the musketeers in the front row take out a special firing crossbow and threw tear gas at the enemy.

Hundreds of tear gas canisters flew into the enemy's ranks, shattered when they touched something, and the finely ground paprika inside drifted into flakes along the north wind.

The militia in the western country was in chaos all of a sudden, they couldn't see anything, and they stopped to rub their eyes, but it didn't work at all.

The militia in the back, not knowing what was going on, continued to rush forward, and then soon came under the same attack.

Moreover, the Great Xia army occupied the north, and as soon as the north wind blew like this, the chili powder soon swept the entire battlefield.

Chen Mu only fired one round of tear gas, and the effect was even better than expected. In that case, let's continue to bomb the Black Earth Fortress.

The Western generals in the city were confused.

"Why didn't the Great Xia Army open fire?"

"Why don't these cannon fodder rush forward?"

The young general next to him shouted: "General, they seem to have launched something." ”

As he was talking, the chili noodles had been blown into the city by the wind, and everyone was choking and coughing.

"Ahem, ahem...... It's witchcraft! It must be the witchcraft of the Great Xia people! ”

"Get around! Let's go around this direction to fight! ”

The young general received the order and immediately ran down and gathered the cavalry out of the city to meet the battle.

Outside the city, Chen Mu felt that the time was almost up, so he ordered the whole army to advance slowly and push the artillery fire into the city.

At this time, two teams of cavalry rushed out of the Black Earth Fortress, spared a large arc, and killed the Great Xia army.

Chen Mu smiled, "Come out to die, I have long thought that this would happen." ”

"Light artillery turn!"

"Musketeers turn!"

At Chen Mu's order, the light artillery of the Great Xia Army turned to both sides, while the chariots of the musketeers advanced a little forward, posing in a large fan shape, ready to fire.

After the enemy entered the firing range, Chen Mu waved his hand.

"Fire!"

Two hundred explosive shells exploded in the enemy's formation, the enemy soldiers turned on their backs, and the musketeers fired at all, and the Western army could not rush at all.

Seeing this, the young general of the Western Kingdom changed his strategy and turned to rush towards the heavy artillery of the Great Xia army.

Chen Mu nodded lightly, "Okay, I'm really not afraid of death." ”

"Heavy artillery ceasefire!"

"Light artillery come forward!"

"Musketeers gather!"

Heavy artillery now has its muzzle facing the city wall, so it is slower to switch to flat fire, and the rate of fire of heavy artillery is relatively low, making it unsuitable for attacking cavalry targets.

But the light artillery was mounted on an electric tracked vehicle, which was very agile and quickly got in front of the heavy artillery.

The musketeers also converged in the center and fired sustainably at the Western Army.

And the cavalry of the Western Army did not stop and launched a suicidal attack on the Great Xia Army. Many cavalrymen rushed through the barrage and fired bullets at the Great Xia army.

However, the number was too small after all, and the casualties of the Great Xia army were very small.

The general of the Western Kingdom in the city was very happy at first to see that the heavy artillery of the Great Xia army had ceased fire, but when he saw the current results, he felt that something was wrong.

If this continues, throw all the cavalry here, and the Great Xia army will not suffer much loss.

He hastened to give the order for the cavalry to withdraw.

When the young generals outside the city heard the order, they were very unwilling, but they could only choose to withdraw their troops.

As soon as the Western Army retreated, the formation became even more chaotic, and many war horses lost their way and ran around. And the artillery and muskets of the Great Xia Army kept firing, and a large number of soldiers of the Western Army were killed on the spot.

The cavalry of the Western Army was eventually withdrawn only halfway.

Chen Mu ordered again to let the army swing back to the siege formation and continue to shell the city wall.

Seeing that the Western Army in the city could not fight back at all, they simply withdrew from the West Gate.

And at this time, those poor militiamen were still wailing on the battlefield.

Chen Mu first asked the soldiers to capture all these Western militiamen, and then sent a small team of soldiers into the city to check on them, confirming that the Westerners had indeed withdrawn, and then let the army take over the Black Earth Fortress.

Chen Mu checked the cannons, guns and ammunition left by the Westerners, and found that there was no obvious progress, and it seemed that the Westerners were still busy looking for oil.

It's a pity that they can't find much in this land.

After a while, the interpreter Urila returned.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I have already interrogated the militia of the Western Army, they said so......"

Chen Mu had always been curious about why these Slavs would work for the Westerners. Listening to Urila now, I really can't laugh or cry.

The reason why they followed the Westerners was very simple, it turned out that they traded with Bactria and had to use local specialties to exchange for food and supplies from Bactria in exchange for Bactria food, but the Westerners didn't want money and gave it to them directly.

In addition, the Westerners have equally powerful weapons, so they consider the Westerners to be the master.

Chen Mu reluctantly said to Urila:

"You go and tell them that Great Xia is not lacking their little things when they trade with them, but by respecting their sovereignty. And the Westerners ostensibly gave supplies for nothing, but in fact they were to enslave them. ”

"Aren't their lives worth anything? Isn't the iron ore and coal mined here by the Westerners originally belonging to the Slavs? ”

Urila saluted: "Yes, Your Highness the Prince, I know what to say." ”

After watching Urila leave, Chen Mu sighed: "The culture here is too backward, and the brain is not good, so I feel very happy to let people be guns." It seems that in the future, we should pay attention to the cultural output of Great Xia. ”

Chen Mu temporarily stayed in the Black Earth Fortress, repairing the fortifications while letting Great Xia continue to send people over to guard the fortress.

We can't rush the offense, we have to find out the good news first.

Chen Mu sent the first spies of Bactria to be pro-Bactria Huns, all of whom were recommended by Urila and were pro-Bactria Huns. Their language is very close to that of the Slavs of the Black Land, and after learning, they can already pretend to be Slavs.
