Chapter 342: The Point of No Return
Wei Xiangyuan, who was determined to retreat, immediately ordered to use the sub-cannon, and then bombarded continuously in one direction, and in order to prevent the pursuers behind him from catching up, they also took out homemade clay pot bombs and threw them indiscriminately behind them, and then used the sound of explosions and the smoke of gunpowder as a cover, he immediately led the remaining killers to rush out quickly in the opposite direction!
Seeing that Wei Xiangyuan and their behavior of jumping over the wall in such a hurry, Xiao Yao did not order the guards to catch up, but continued to snipe at them from a long distance to eliminate their living force to the greatest extent! Because Xiao Yao didn't plan to kill Wei Xiangyuan and this group of killers, after all, the other party had an advantage in numbers, and there were only twenty people on his side, so he had to keep a certain distance between the two sides to show his power!
And in case after catching up, Yu Xiangyuan suddenly wants to break the net, and if he wants to die with these simple but still powerful home-made bombs with himself, it will be a bit more than worth the loss! Because the twenty members of his own guard team are the elite of the elite selected from the special forces carefully trained by Gao Yuan!
Seeing that Wei Xiangyuan was running forward desperately with a group of people, the five squads, plus Xiao Yao's twenty-one people, all stood up, and then took twenty-one Mauser rifles, and shot indiscriminately at the group of killers who were fleeing frantically in front of them at a distance of more than fifty meters! And Wei Xiangyuan and they couldn't care about the companions around them who were constantly being shot and falling, so they could only run forward desperately by themselves, and in order to run faster, they even threw aside the muskets in their hands!
Finally, in this ambush and assassination operation against Xiao Yao, Wei Xiangyuan took more than 100 killers, holding the most advanced Sui musket in today's era, as well as a sub-mother artillery, plus more than 100 home-made bombs, such a luxurious lineup, such sophisticated equipment, but Xiao Yao with twenty well-trained guards, holding a Mauser rifle that was a thousand years ahead of them, and used strange tactics to completely defeat him!
In the end, in Xiao Yao's indiscriminate shooting, Wei Xiangyuan only took the remaining more than 20 people, and left behind more than 80 corpses of his companions, as well as weapons in one place, so he rushed out of the range of the Mauser rifle and got rid of Xiao Yao's shooting!
At this time, Zu Yuan had already arrived at the scene with a workshop guard, he arrived at the workshop outside the city last night, and then organized a guard of hundreds of people, and then was ready to meet Xiao Yao at any time, so when he heard that in this ambush, there was an explosion, which frightened him immediately with the guards and rushed to support Xiao Yao.
And at this time, Xiao Yao and they had already stopped shooting, and then looked at the corpses and blood all over the ground with a smug face, the autumn morning was very refreshing, a cool breeze blew, with the strong smell of blood and gunsmoke, which strongly stimulated Xiao Yao's nerves, making him feel very excited, the killing aura of tens of millions of heads falling to the ground on the battlefield was spontaneously born on Xiao Yao's body!
"Congratulations to the young master for his victory, breaking the ambush of these Qi thieves in one fell swoop! Just now I saw a dozen fish fleeing north on fast horses, why don't I send a team of men and horses to chase them? Looking at Xiao Yao, who was wearing slim paper armor, bathed in the morning light, smiling confidently, and exuding a heroic spirit, Zu Yuan said excitedly.
"No need! The assassination they planned must have already thought of a way to retreat, and after a large-scale investigation of foreign spies has been carried out in Jinling City, they can still have so many people lurking in Jinling City, it can be seen that there must be someone in the Chen Imperial Court to assist them, and this person is still a high-ranking and powerful person! So don't say that we are going to hunt them down now, even if we report this matter to the imperial court, the people above will definitely regard this assassination as a personal grudge between our general trading house and the people of the Qi country, and it will not attract the attention of His Majesty at all! Xiao Yao said with a sneer.
"And watch them flee like this? Hmph, this Du Youxin, I still see that the relationship between their Du family and our general business bank has always been good, and I beckoned him to our general casino to take care of him with good food and accommodation, I didn't expect him to be so wolf-hearted, and he will take revenge on the young master, I will go back to the general casino now, and drive all these Qi people away! Then I will order our general trading house to immediately cut off trade with the Du family! Zu Yuan shouted indignantly. 135 Chinese
"Of course! This anti-ambush chicken operation that I and this guard team carried out here this time wasted so many precious bullets on me, of course, I have to ask their Du family for reimbursement! And these killers actually used the muskets and sub-mother cannons used by the soldiers of my forward brigade, in today's world, except for me, only Gao Changgong has these weapons, so it means that these killers are sent by Gao Changgong! Xiao Yao said coldly, and then thought of Gao Changgong, and thought of those brothers who sacrificed on the battlefield, and couldn't help but rush into the crown with anger, clenched his fists, and his eyes were cold!
"These killers were sent by Gao Changgong? I can't imagine that this Gao Changgong is actually colluding with the Du family! This Du family also kept saying that they never interfered in the government and did not participate in party struggles, but now they are so arrogant that they dare to join forces with Gao Changgong to assassinate the young master! These Qi people really can't be trusted! Zu Yuan said with a look of disdain.
"Hehe, this Du family, no matter how you say it, is also a Qi country, so for the sake of the country, in order to eradicate me, the fierce enemy of Qi who recovered Huainan in less than half a year, and killed their Qi army and fled, of course they are willing to sacrifice their own interests! It's just that their vision is too bad, and they actually chose to join forces with Gao Changgong! What a pig-like teammate! Xiao Yao shook his head and sneered, and said disdainfully.
"It's just that this Gao Changgong is too anxious, and now he has embarked on a road of no return! In order to kill me, they actually used these muskets that were like heavenly weapons in their eyes, although with these weapons, the success rate would be much greater, but they exposed their relationship with the Du family for this! You must know that Gao Changgong is now the object of suspicion in the eyes of Emperor Gao Wei of Qi State! Xiao Yao showed a treacherous smile, looked at Zu Yuan with a smile and said.
"What does the young master mean is that we can use this matter to pour dirty water on Gao Changgong again, drive a wedge between him and the Emperor of Qi, and then let Gao Wei attack him like Hu Luguang?" Zu Yuan saw Xiao Yao's iconic smile and instantly understood what Xiao Yao meant.
"Before, we took advantage of the party struggle in the court of Qi to separate the relationship between Gao Wei and Hu Luguang, so that this pillar of Qi did not die on the battlefield, but fell under the butcher's knife of our own emperor! Now in the military circle of Qi State, only Gao Changgong is left who can be regarded as a famous general, so as long as Gao Changgong dies, then Qi will not be far from destroying the country! In addition, this Gao Changgong has never been treated well by his cousin Gao Wei, and this time Gao Changgong has exposed the connection with the Du family, a wealthy businessman in Qi State, and the collusion between military and businessmen. Alas, I really feel sorry for Gao Changgong, this assassination plan for the interests of his own country, I believe it will become a lifeline for him to be attacked by Gao Wei! Xiao Yao deliberately pretended to be very sympathetic, and said unevenly for Gao Changgong.
"Gao Changgong designed to murder the young master before, and now he wants to use these firearms made by the young master to deal with the young master, it's really damned!" Zu Yuan said fiercely, he didn't need to have sympathy for these enemies of his lord.
"Okay, here you have to let people clean up, don't let people know that this guard of mine has such a strong fighting force! To the outside world, it is said that you arrived in time with the guards and rescued me from the ambush of the killer! Xiao Yao commanded.
"Yes!"
In this wilderness, in this battle of ambush and anti-ambush with a huge disparity in numbers, but the results were one-sided, it only took less than an hour to end, Wei Xiangyuan suffered two-thirds of the casualties, but Xiao Yao's side was all unscathed, and also let this guard conduct an actual combat exercise, and told Gao Changgong with victory, even if he had a large number of muskets and artillery captured from Xiao Yao in his hands, he was still not Xiao Yao's opponent!
