"Zhang Gongzi, you see that your boss is still very affectionate to you, he came to save you so quickly, and caught us off guard, if it weren't for the help of gunpowder, we really couldn't break through Chen Jun's blockade and enter Xuyi City, I'm afraid it will be planted in Xiao Yao's hands at that time! Your boss is really powerful, our whereabouts have always been very secretive, and he still knows about it! Gao Changgong said with a relaxed face, and entered Xuyi City, everyone is finally safe.

"Gao Changgong, what do you want? Good cooperation to deal with Xiao Yao, but now they still lock me up here! What are you bringing me into Xuyi City for? You should have let me go in the barren mountains in the first place, let me go back to him, and collect information for you! Zhang Dabao said indignantly.

"Because you are here, Xiao Yao will have some scruples! If we put you back, I believe that Xiao Yao will attack us mercilessly, you also know that your boss is versatile, and no one knows what unexpected weapons and offensive methods he will come up with, so if we catch you in our hands, we will have a better chance of winning! Gao Changgong said with a smile.

"If I knew that you were such an untrustworthy person, if you use this method to deal with Xiao Yao, we don't have to cooperate with you!" Zhang Dabao said unwillingly.

"No, no, no! If there is no cooperation, how can we safely infiltrate Jinling? Without cooperation, how would we know the time and route of your convoy's departure and prepare an ambush in advance? Ha ha! Who I'm not crediting anymore? Xiao Yao is outside the city now, am I not about to prepare to deal with him? Gao Changgong smiled confidently, because in addition to Zhang Dabao in his hand now, he also has gunpowder!

The explosion power of these gunpowders made by Xiao Yao is indeed many times more powerful than that of those alchemists and skilled craftsmen he ordered! A jar can blow up four or five Chen soldiers with one catty, that kind of picture, that loud noise, makes me frightened but extremely excited!

"So, Gongzi Zhang, please tell us everything you know as soon as possible, especially about the structure of the musket artillery, so that I can let the craftsmen build it as soon as possible to deal with Xiao Yao!" Gao Changgong looked at Zhang Dabao with a smile, but felt that he was a little scary.

"So that's what you're really for! Not only to kill Xiao Yao, but also to imitate those muskets and artillery! Zhang Dabao looked at Gao Changgong in astonishment.

"Of course we have to get our hands on such a powerful weapon! Otherwise, if only you Chen Guo have it, then what's the point of us killing only one Xiao Yao? When the time comes, another person will take over the infantry battalion, which will also pose a great threat to our Qi army, and even destroy our Great Qi and Zhou State, it is possible under unification! So do you need us to copy these weapons? Gao Changgong looked at Zhang Dabao like a fool and smiled.

"Only Xiao Yao knows the formula of gunpowder, and those firearms are also carefully crafted by his master, you can't imitate them! Otherwise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have copied it a long time ago! Zhang Dabao poured cold water.

"You don't have to worry about us, you just need to tell me everything you know now! While Xiao Yao hasn't launched an attack on us yet, we still have time to prepare, otherwise when he attacks us, then we will fall short! Gao Changgong said coldly.

。。。。。。

On the sixth day of the eighth month, the Chen army, which had besieged Xuyi City for more than two months, suddenly withdrew, and the general Huang Yong was ordered to lead the army to reinforce Shouyang, leaving only 5,000 people to assist Xiao Yao in continuing to besiege Xuyi!

At this time, there was a very strange scene inside and outside Xuyi City, there were only 6,000 Chen troops outside the city, but there were more than 20,000 Qi troops in the city, but the two sides were in a state of confrontation, both sides did not move, and no one launched an attack on the other side.

Gao Changgong didn't launch a breakthrough because he was afraid! Although he saw that the Chen army had withdrawn most of its troops, and now there were only more than 6,000 people surrounding Xuyi, Xiao Yao's infantry battalion was still outside, so not only Gao Changgong was afraid, but even the defenders in Xuyi City were afraid! I'm afraid of tricks and bets on what tricks Xiao Yao is playing, there are only 6,000 people on the surface, but who knows how many troops Xiao Yao has secretly arranged and how many ambushes? lure them out of the city to break through, and then use those invincible firearms to shoot and bomb indiscriminately, and then the whole army will definitely be wiped out!

Xiao Yao didn't launch an attack because he didn't have gunpowder yet! In fact, Xiao Yao is also a little worried that Gao Changgong will suddenly rush out and break through, and he doesn't know what to use to stop them at that time, except for a hundred or so rifles, there is still a bit of threat, and those artillery pieces are now a pile of broken copper and iron.

He had already asked Zu Yuan to arrange another batch of ammunition and materials to be sent to Xuyi a few days ago, but for some reason, he hadn't delivered it after waiting for a few days, which made Xiao Yao wonder if he had been robbed by someone else halfway again.

The strange confrontation scene lasted for two, and on the eighth day of the eighth month of August, a transport team finally appeared outside Xuyi City, so that Xiao Yao's heart finally settled down.

Xiao Yao hurriedly ran out of the camp, and when he saw the transport team, he couldn't help but be surprised, because the person in charge of this escort mission was none other than Xiao Yao's most powerful subordinate and his senior brother - Gao Yuan!

"Lofty? Why are you in charge of escorting supplies, aren't you in Jiangzhou? Xiao Yao asked in surprise.

"Young master, I've kept you waiting! It was Boss Zu who specially went to Jiangzhou to find me and was responsible for the escort task this time! Because the materials were robbed last time, Boss Zu felt deeply guilty, and he also knew that the young master was in urgent need of this batch of ammunition and materials, and he was afraid that there would be an accident again, and he didn't dare to trust others easily, so he specially asked me to escort the supplies! Gao Yuan smiled.

"Zu Yuan is too careful, it is not his fault that the materials were robbed at all, and he arranged for the beggars to follow us all the way in advance, so that we can know the whereabouts of this gang of Rao so quickly, this is already a great achievement!" Xiao Yao couldn't laugh or cry.

"Actually, even if there was no request from Boss Zu, I would have wanted to come to you for a long time! Hearing that the young master led the infantry battalion to attack the city in the Huainan area and was invincible, Gao Yuan had long wanted to help the young master! Gao Yuan said with an eager expression.

"Haha, I know you have itchy hands too! But it's good that you've come to the right place this time! Do you know who the commander of the Qi army in Xuyi City is now? He's an old acquaintance of yours, no, he should be your relative, Gao Changgong! Xiao Yao teased.

"Gao Changgong! He's in there? Gao Yuan was also taken aback.

"It's him, a dignified Lanling king, who actually personally led the team to kidnap Zhang Dabao and robbed me of my gunpowder! Then he learned to make an earthen bomb, broke through the blockade of Chen's army, and now he is hiding in the city and does not dare to come out! Xiao Yao sneered.

"Gao Changgong is my cousin! Hmph, but their clan is the murderer of my whole family! Back then, his father Gao Cheng was also a kind of exclusion and persecution of our family, and he didn't miss the same clan at all! Now it just so happens that Gao Yuan is willing to take the lead for the young master and capture my cousin alive and dedicate it to the young master! Gao Yuan said fiercely, he had no good impression of the people of the Gao royal family at all, and he couldn't wait to kill them all to vent his hatred!

Then Gao Yuan pointed to the more than 100 strong men behind him who were dressed as coachmen and migrant workers, but their bodies exuded a ruthlessness, and their eyes also showed a trace of killing intent: "Young master, this batch is an elite army that I personally trained according to the instructions of the young master, and I have conducted all kinds of combat training for them in Jiangzhou, and they are proficient in shooting, blasting, swords, fists and feet, which are several times more powerful than the soldiers of the fire dragon battalion that were transferred to Jinling before!" In Jiangzhou, we can only take them everywhere to suppress bandits, and those rabble are no longer our opponents! Taking the opportunity of this escort, it is to bring them to the battlefield to experience the real war, and now the commander of the Qi army in Xuyi City is a high meritorious, I hope the young master will allow us to fight! "Gao Yuan, please fight.

"Please allow us to fight!" More than a hundred strong men are like a bell, brushing the tunnel, although they have never seen Xiao Yao, but according to Xiao Yao's regulations, Gao Yuan's training is ideological education in the first place, brainwashing them all the time, instilling the idea of loyalty to the young master, so now they can see Xiao Yao who exists like a god in their hearts, they are all very excited.

"Good! Since you are so confident, I will give you a chance to perform! We will launch an attack on the city tomorrow, and then Gao Yuan will take you as an assault team to attack Xuyi and capture Gao Changgong alive! Xiao Yao said domineeringly.
