Bartel nodded: "Yes, it's gunpowder."

Using gunpowder to make weapons had never been done before, but Shen Qingzhou made it.

Moreover, gunpowder and iron balls alone are not enough. The most important thing is the weapon in the hands of the Dongxia soldiers. I just heard Han Yan call that thing a fire gun.

"It's a musket. I'm afraid a shield won't be able to stop it."

Bater sat in the chair in frustration, his head buzzing. He was now trapped in the border town and could do nothing.

For a period of time, Aying also knew that they could not break out, and when the battle just started, he always felt something was wrong.

After thinking hard, he widened his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and said in a panic.

"Oh no, my king, I'm afraid something has happened to Xiluo."

This matter is already big enough, what else could go wrong with Xiluo?

"Your Majesty, when we launched the attack just now, Han Yan was the only one commanding the army from beginning to end.

Xiao Jingchuan and his generals have not appeared yet, but our people received news that Xiao Jingchuan and Han Yan led the troops to the battle together.

Now Han Yan has trapped us in the border town, so where is Xiao Jingchuan? Did he lead his troops to attack Xiluo?"

Bater was so angry that he stood up and smashed the whole table. He was so angry that he could not believe that the king of a country was being plotted against.

"Xiao Jingchuan, Xiao Jingchuan..."

Ah Ying was also very panicked. They had been fighting with Han Yan for many years. Such a plan was definitely not something that old man Han Yan could come up with.

"My lord, how can we break the impasse at this moment?"

After venting his anger, Bater slowly calmed down. He couldn't get out of the city gate and the entire border town was surrounded.

"A Ying, find the weakest point in the encirclement and have our men dig a tunnel. We'll escape through the tunnel and get out of this city first."

"But digging the tunnel will take us a lot of time, and the food and fodder we brought is only enough to feed the army for three months."

Originally, bringing three months of food and fodder was considered a lot, and Bai E would deliver more supplies later, but the current situation is like this.

If Xiao Jingchuan really led his troops to attack Xiluo, there would only be a few thousand soldiers defending Yangcheng. If the city was lost, Bai E would have no food to send.

Even if it could be delivered, it would not be able to get past the large army surrounded by Han Yan.

"Don't worry about it for now. Dig the tunnel first. Dig day and night. I want to return to Xiluo."

Lure the tiger away from the mountain, lure the enemy into a trap, trap the tiger in a cage, step by step calculation, Bater is no match for Lin Ting at all.

On the fifth day of being trapped, Bater stood on the city wall and watched the Dongxia army setting up camp and taking turns to rest.

There is also the deputy general beside Han Yan. The flag he holds in his hand is the flag on the wall of Yangcheng.

Bater clenched his hands so tightly that his back teeth were almost broken.

"Bater, Yangcheng is indeed a good place to raise people, hahaha..."

Xiao Jingchuan had already captured Yangcheng and ordered his men to deliver the flag to General Han, specifically to show it to Bater who was trapped in the border town.

"Han Yan, you are despicable. If you have the guts, just fight us fair and square. You are no hero if you scheme like this."

After hearing this, General Han burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... Let's have a fight. Don't be cowards. Come out and we'll fight again. I haven't fired in a few days, and I'm itching to fight."

"Han Yan, you old fool..."

General Han took two steps forward and said, "I have been waiting for death just to see you die. Isn't this perfect? ​​Hahaha..."

It would be fine if I didn't talk to General Han, but if I did, Bater would be so angry that he would die.

While being trapped, he felt powerless and helpless as he watched the cities of Xiluo being breached one by one.

He was also worried that Han Yan would suddenly attack the border town, so he couldn't sleep all night and lost a lot of weight.

After being trapped for ten days, Xiluo captured three more cities. Xiao Jingchuan's army was invincible, defeating all enemies along the way. In a while, Xiluo would be destroyed.

The army dug for half a month and finally dug several tunnels. Bater, Xiao Chu, and the army wanted to leave through the tunnels.

However, before his vanguard soldiers could get out, the exit passage was blown up by Han Yan's men.

The explosion caused the tunnel to collapse, burying many Xiluo soldiers inside.

Bater and Aying were also covered in dirt, but he couldn't bear Xiao Chu behind him.

"My king, the tunnel has collapsed. We must return quickly, or we will be buried inside."

Aying protected Bater. The underground tunnel they dug had more than a dozen exits, and Han Yan blew up every exit accurately.

He didn't just discover these underground passages, but had known that they were digging tunnels for a long time and deliberately didn't say anything.

When the people in the border town think they can escape, they will give them a fatal blow and trap Bater inside again.

General Han destroyed Battelle's escape route and caused thousands of his soldiers to die underground.

Bater, who returned by the same route, was almost driven crazy by the torture of General Han. He lifted Xiao Chu by the back of his collar and went up to the city wall.

He held Xiao Chu on the city wall, and with his other hand raised a big knife and put it on Xiao Chu's neck. Using Xiao Chu was his last bargaining chip, otherwise he would not have been able to protect Xiao Chu for so long.

"Han Yan, Han Yan, come out here! If you don't, I will kill your Seventh Prince."

Xiao Chu did not expect that Bater was at the end of his rope and wanted to use him to escape from the border town. Han Yan knew all about his identity as a fake prince, and it was impossible for Han Yan to let Bater go in order to save him.

During these days of being trapped, Xiao Chu has not dared to show up because he doesn't want Han Yan to tell Bater his identity.

If Bater knew his identity, he would be of no use to him and would most likely not be able to survive in the border town.

"My king, please let me go. I am a traitor to my country. Han Yan doesn't care about my life. Please spare my life.

Please put me down first, and we will think of other ways. We can definitely think of other ways, please."

Bater was almost going crazy. City after city in Xiro was conquered by Xiao Jingchuan, and he, the ruler of a country, was trapped here. How could he stay calm?

"Xiao Chu, shut up! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation today.

Today, the king and the Xiluo army cannot leave, so you will be buried with the army."

"Han Yan...Han Yan..."

General Han rode back to the border town wall. From where they were, arrows could not reach them, but they could hear each other talking.

In addition, General Han was not yet old and his eyesight was not blurry, so he saw that the person Bater was holding on the city wall was Xiao Chu. This was God's help to him.

"Bater, what brings me here? Do you want me to tell you about the fun of blowing up an underground tunnel?

I still want to hear which city in Xiluo the Dongxia army recaptured today?"

Victory has already been achieved in General Han's mind. Lin Ting's method is indeed effective. He is here to besiege Bater.

Since there was no king in Xiluo, it was easy for the prince to recapture Xiluo.

"Han Yan, look carefully. The man in my hands is the Seventh Prince of your Dongxia Kingdom. If you don't withdraw your troops, I will kill Prince Xiao right now."
