Xiao Chu told everything he knew, that Dongxia Kingdom did not have any new weapons.

"No, wait a minute, my king, I seem to remember something. New weapons, really new weapons."

Xiao Chu suddenly remembered that Cao Wenshi had said in the hall before that Shen Qingzhou was researching a weapon, and he had never seen this before, so it should be a new design by Shen Qingzhou.

"Hurry up and tell me, this king is not a person with a good temper."

Bater felt that Xiao Chu was lying to him, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to eat Xiao Chu.

"Your Majesty, this should be a new weapon designed by Shen Qingzhou. As for what it is, I don't know yet.

It should have been made during the time I went to Xiluo. Now it's late at night. If Han Yan doesn't besiege the border town, we can wait until dawn. Then we will know what weapon he uses."

Shen Qingzhou, it was Shen Qingzhou again. He and Lin Ting were a couple Bater had never met before, but now they had become his biggest enemies.

"Alright, I'll let you live a few more days. If you don't tell the truth, you know what I'll do."

Watching Bater and Aying walking towards the city wall, Xiao Chu leaned against the wall and slowly squatted down.

He was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice for more than ten days and went to Xiluo for more than ten days. During this time, he hardly received any news from the Dongxia Kingdom.

Now Han Yan has a new weapon, and he is really defenseless.

That night, the Xiluo army looked around the entire border town. Outside were Han Yan's army, and they had been surrounded in the border town.

Bater was stationed on the city wall. He thought General Han would launch an attack there, but Han Yan did not move that night.

It was not until dawn when the Dongxia army extinguished their torches that Bater could see clearly the weapons in their hands.

The first row is holding a shield, which is one of the commonly used weapons on the battlefield. The second team is holding a weapon that looks like a stick, but not quite like a stick, and it also has a handle.

This was something Bater had never seen before. Under the city gate, the man he challenged was still lying there after his death, with a bloody hole on his forehead. Could it be that this weapon caused it?

Behind Han Yan's army, there were archers, carriages, and food supplies, and it seemed that they were going to fight a long battle with him.

Bater called Xiao Chu up again to take a look. Xiao Chu really didn't recognize this new type of weapon.

"Xiao Chu, now that you've seen it, what's the best way to defend against this weapon?"

Xiao Chu shook his head: "Your Majesty, no matter what weapons they have, they must not be of any significance if they were made during this period of time when I was unaware of them. I believe in the bravery of the Xiluo army."

Bater waved his hand and let Xiao Chu go out. He looked at the situation in front of him and felt that only a breakthrough would be beneficial to them.

"Aying, did you see that? Han Yan wants to trap me to death in this city."

Ah Ying bent down and nodded: "Your Majesty, there is no food in this city. If we are trapped here, once the food is eaten up, chaos will break out.

By then, the army will be disorganized, and the soldiers will either die in battle or starve to death. This is a very vicious plan of the Dongxia Kingdom."

No wonder he handed over this empty city. It turned out that he was just lying in wait.

"Command the army immediately. Let's charge out today and kill Han Yan."

The only way for them to survive is to rush out.

When General Han saw the soldiers on the city wall being mobilized, his eyes rolled, and he raised the flag in his hand and gave orders.

"Firearm team, get ready. The Xiluo army is about to charge."

Sure enough, the war drums sounded on the city walls, the border city gates opened, and Xiro's vanguard rode in on horseback, holding shields.

"Kill the little kid from Dongxia!"

Aying shouted loudly in the back, and the sound of the cavalry's footsteps broke through the sky.

General Han was also standing on the command chariot, looking at the distance between the Xiluo army and them. He waved the military flag in his hand, and the shield brigade in front squatted down.

The two rows of musket teams opened fire in full force. Each musket could fire ten rounds. They would retreat, and the two teams behind would come up again, firing continuously and taking turns loading gunpowder.

Unlike traditional weapons, muskets have a long range and great damage, and they directly fired at the rushing Xiluo army.

Ah Ying watched the brave vanguard team fall down one by one before they even reached the enemy, whether horses or men.

"Xi Luo army, listen to my orders! Protect the king and charge out!"

They had already rushed out halfway, and behind them was the chariot that Bater was riding in. Aying and Bater wanted to rush out in one go.

But he didn't know his opponent well enough, and he didn't know the chips in Han Yan's hand.

General Han watched them approaching closer and closer without caring about their lives, and he sneered.

"Come on, form a formation, prepare grenades, and kill!"

The only thing the Xiluo army can use now is archers, but the Dongxia soldiers have shields in their hands, and there are very few who can be shot.

After the Dongxia army formed up, they directly surrounded the Xiluo army. Behind their shields, the soldiers took out grenades from their waists, pulled the fuse and threw them into the Xiluo army.

One grenade would cause a small-scale explosion, let alone hundreds or thousands of them, which would directly defeat the Xiro army.

Faced with such a powerful weapon, Bater frowned and his beard trembled. Seeing that his entire army was about to be killed, he shouted at Aying.

"Aying, retreat back to the city, retreat quickly..."

With such firepower, there is no safer option than returning to the city.

Xiao Chu was also sitting in Bater's chariot. He never imagined that General Han's army was so powerful.

What was even more unexpected was that Shen Qingzhou could design such a terrifying weapon in such a short time.

Not to mention the long poles that were so fast that you couldn't see the objects they launched, the things the soldiers used to blow up the Xiro army were even more terrifying.

Looking at the large number of casualties in the Xiluo army, which originally had an army of 30,000, they lost nearly 10,000 in this battle.

More than half of them were injured. When the gate of the border town was closed, he jumped off the chariot and looked at the wounded soldiers in the army.

After being injured by the explosion, one person was bleeding profusely and had a bloody hole on his leg. Bater squatted down to look at his wound.

"Military doctor, come quickly and treat him first."

There was such a big blood hole, Bater wanted to see what was inside that could cause such a powerful attack.

The military doctor came over and took out the golden medicine. He originally just wanted to bandage the wound, but Bater stopped the military doctor.

"Wait a minute, there seems to be something inside the wound, get it out first."

The military doctor observed it and found that there seemed to be something there. He took out tweezers and pinched the wound.

The wounded soldier screamed in pain. After a long time, the military doctor finally picked out a small object, which was small and round. It looked like metal, but not quite.

"My lord, there really is something."

Bater wrapped the thing in a piece of cloth and took it back to his residence to study.

He wiped away the blood, revealing a black metal.

"Aying, this was taken out from a soldier's wound. Can you tell what it is?"

Ah Ying lowered his head to study it, observing the appearance, and then put it to the tip of his nose to smell it. This smell!

"My lord, it's the smell of gunpowder, and the gunpowder goes well with this little iron bead."
