On the ninth day of the first month of August, the weather was fine, and the Huainan area in early autumn had a burst of coolness, and the Chen army outside Xuyi City was ready to fight, in front of the west gate of the main attack target, gathered a group of less than 1,000 elite troops, but gathered cavalry, artillery and infantry three types of troops, they lined up in a neat line, wearing thick paper armor all over their bodies, only revealing a pair of murderous eyes! As far as the eye can see, this phalanx exudes an infinite murderous aura, which makes people feel depressed and suffocated.

Xiao Yao rode a high-headed horse and said loudly in front of the phalanx: "This qi is very good, and it is the most suitable for killing!" A cool breeze blows, and even wearing thick paper armor doesn't feel stuffy, allowing us to concentrate more on slashing and slashing enemies! Xuyi City has been surrounded by us for more than two months, and we have also allowed the Qi army inside to live for two more months, so we are merciful enough, and now everyone can rest assured that they will kill us, and the Buddha will not blame us! In the past, the brothers of the infantry battalion were watching other troops attack the city, and we didn't have a chance to show our skills, but now we want to let the other troops see how we only have a thousand Rao infantry battalions to attack the city! We are going to break through Xuyi City, which is garrisoned by 20,000 people, and then go in and grab money, food, and women! ”

"Grab the money! Grab the food! Rob a woman! The thousand-person phalanx let out a neat roar, which was overwhelming, and it also made the Qi army on the upper floor of the outer city look a little frightened.

"Lord Wang, they are about to attack the city, that is Xiao Yao's infantry battalion! What are we going to do? One of the defending generals asked a little tremblingly.

"What are you afraid of! They only have a thousand men and want to come and attack the city? Back then, Zhuge Liang's 30,000 troops couldn't break through the city defended by only 1,000 people! Now we have an iron wall in Xuyi City, and there are more than 20,000 defenders, are we still afraid that they will attack with a thousand Rao? Knowing that the first two of them were just bluffing, we rushed out to eliminate them in one fell swoop and chop Xiao Yao into pulp! Gao Changgong said with a little remorse.

Yesterday, when he saw the transport team rushing to Xuyi, he suddenly realized that there was no gunpowder in the hands of these Xiao Yao's infantry battalions, and he had already learned the principle of artillery through Zhang Dabao, of course, he knew that without gunpowder, those muskets and artillery were just a pile of broken copper and iron!

"But their infantry battalion has those invincible firearms, which can penetrate the city gate with a single cannon from a distance of dozens of feet, can kill dozens of soldiers with a single cannon, and those muskets that kill Rao in the air... The general was a survivor of the fierce battles in the woods and the Battle of Shiliang City, so he had a deep fear of the infantry battalion.

"If you disturb the morale of the army again, there will be no mercy!" Gao Changgong immediately interrupted him. Then he pointed to the large number of jar bombs piled up on the head of the city and shouted to the soldiers defending the city: "The infantry battalion has gunpowder, and we have it too!" Remember when we broke through Chen's blockade with these bombs? Later, as soon as they rush to the city, we will drop bombs on them, so that they too will taste what it will be like to be blown to pieces and die! And we also have more than 20,000 Great Qi warriors, who shoot sharp arrows that can kill all enemies! So we don't have to fear the infantry battalion at all! All troops on alert! Get ready for battle! ”

"Hmph, you want to fight back with just those few dirt bombs?" Xiao Yao used his binoculars to look at the high and long skills dancing on the head of the city, although he couldn't hear what he was doing, but he could guess that he would use those gunpowder to make unearthed bombs to block the siege of the infantry battalion.

"Report to the commander, the other city gates have been completely blocked by us with a type of cannon!" Li Nong reported.

"Anyone who tries to escape through these gates will be killed! Now it seems that the high and long gong on the castle tower is also ready, okay! The sub-mother cannon is ready to blast through the city gates! Let them see the strength of our infantry battalion and the correct use of gunpowder! Xiao Yao ordered.

"Gao Yuan, have you seen Gao Changgong standing on the head of the city, standing so obviously, the bow and arrow can't shoot him, but, hehe, why don't you use the snibder rifle to remind him and tell him that he can't stand so conspicuously in battle!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"No problem! Although he is now hundreds of feet away from him, it is still easy to hit him! "As the first to follow Xiao Yao into contact with the musket, Gao Yuan is very confident in his marksmanship, and at the same time, he is also very ruthless to the Gao royal family.

Over, Gao Yuan raised the Mini rifle equipped with a telescope, aiming at Gao Changgong, who was standing at the head of the city and giving a passionate speech, bang! A gunshot rang out, and Gao Changgong fell in response!

Gao Changgong, who was facing Xiao Yao with his back to Xiao Yao and giving a passionate speech to the soldiers defending the city, suddenly felt a heavy blow to the back of his head, and his whole body couldn't help but fall forward, and he fell into a!

"Lord Wang! Rajah! And the crowd gathered around.

"What's going on? Who attacked me? Gao Changgong didn't die, because the bullet just hit his helmet, and the distance was too far, the power of the bullet was greatly reduced, and he couldn't shoot through the helmet made of stainless steel, so Gao Changgong escaped.

Gao Changgong took off his helmet with difficulty, saw that there was an iron pill embedded in it, and then touched the back of his head, it was already bleeding, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is this?" ”

"This, this is the musket shot, which can kill Rao in the air! In the first battle in the woods, those brothers who were shot with muskets, after fleeing back, it was this iron pill that was picked out from their wounds! The general came out again, looking at the bullet and saying in fear.

"This is Zhang Dabao's buckshot? Can you hit me from so far away? Gao Changgong got up in a panic, hid behind the wall and observed the distance between the two armies, which was more than 100 zhang, that is, more than 300 meters!

"From so far away, no one can see how he hit me!" Gao Changgong muttered, and the whole person was still in a panic for the rest of his life

"Zhang Dabao, Xiao Yao used glass treasures to create an artifact that can see distant scenes, called a telescope!" Adjutant General Wei Xiangyuan suddenly came to his senses.

"Lord Wang, they are ready to attack, they are pushing out that terrifying iron pillar!" One of the generals shouted.

"Iron pillars? Is this the kind of artillery that can kill heavy cavalry in an instant? It turned out to be like this, Zhang Dabao painted something! Not at all! Gao Changgong, who came back to his senses, secretly observed these firearms, which he had heard countless times and met for the first time.

"This high long feats are really fateful! They had already hit him in the head, and he was saved by the helmet! Xiao Yao used the telescope to see Gao Changgong hiding behind the wall battlement, but it was a pity that it was authentic.

"He is the commander of the Qi army, and the quality of the armor is certainly the best! And the distance is too far, it is difficult for the bullet to penetrate the helmet, but please rest assured, I will take the commando team to attack and capture him alive later! Gao Yuan also said with some regret.

The artillery team, under the protection of the shield soldiers, had already come to a position more than a hundred meters away from the city gate, and Li Nong ordered: "The artillery team, aim at the city gate, ready to shoot!" ”

"Put!"

Boom Boom! Ten artillery guns fired a salvo, and the entire city gate was penetrated in one fell swoop!

"Lord, they have broken through the city gates! But they haven't rushed in yet! The guard reported in a panic.

"Didn't attack? Are you afraid that we will have an ambush? Pass my orders, and the jar bomb is ready! Go according to the plan, as soon as they rush into the urn city, we will use bombs against them! Gao Changgong regained his composure and said calmly.

"The sub-mother artillery team, aiming at the outer tower, ready to shoot!" Li Nong continued to order.

Boom Boom! Another burst of artillery bombardment knocked the entire outer city tower into dust and smoke, and it was a mess! Several wall battlements were shattered, and the defenders hiding behind were knocked away, and the broken bricks and tiles were mixed with blood, stumps, and broken flesh, and scattered the entire tower!

Gao Changgong dodged again, and missed all the shells perfectly! But there was a cannonball that hit the battlement next to him directly, the lucky man who survived the fierce battle in the woods and the battle of Shiliang City was not so lucky now, he escaped the first day of the new year, he escaped the fifteenth, but he couldn't dodge the thirty, and now he was directly hit by the artillery!

Gao Changgong was stunned, and a big living person exploded in front of him in an instant, and blood and flesh splashed all over his face!

"This is the artillery made by Xiao Yao? The power of the large iron pellet that was shot out instantly with the power of the gunpowder explosion was terrifying! Gao Changgong suddenly remembered Zhang Dabao's words when he explained the principle of artillery.

"Lord Wang, we can't stay in the outer city tower anymore and be a target for them! Let's go! The others also withdrew from the outer city tower and retreated to the city wall, as soon as they rushed in, we would throw bombs at the urn city! After Wei Xiangyuan gave the order, he picked up Gao Changgong and turned around and fled from the outer city tower!
