The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

Wang Yuanya laughed out loud when she heard this. Obviously, since she came to persuade them to surrender, she had thought of all this.

"Boss, the barbarian cavalry is indeed very powerful! But... they also have a weakness."

"Oh?"

"The waterway! They can't control the waterway. We can leave by ship and go directly to the southwest to join the rebel army!"

When Wang Yuanya said this, she was even a little complacent, hehe... as long as Chen Xiaodao was willing to take the Liangshan heroes to leave with her, they would return to the southwest.

Not only did he accomplish great things, but he also remained safe and sound, killing two birds with one stone.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaodao smiled contemptuously at this, shook his head and said, "Madam Wang is a bit presumptuous. It is undeniable that it is true, as you said, that barbarians are not good at traveling by water. But... we Liangshan heroes have so many people and such a large property, so traveling by water is really a bit difficult. So, we should think about this matter differently!"

In order to reassure Wang Yuanya, Chen Xiaodao had no choice but to lie.

Anyway, he had no intention of joining the rebel army. Even if the King of Qin really didn't want them, he would rather be a bandit and rule the mountain, which was better than being cannon fodder.

"But……"

Wang Yuanya was a little anxious and opened her mouth to say something.

But unexpectedly, at this moment...

"Boss! Boss! It's bad, it's bad!"

Suddenly, a young man wearing leather armor and carrying a bow and arrow ran in from outside the hut.

Chen Xiaodao was stunned when he saw the person coming. Then he stood up and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Zhang Hu, didn't you go hunting? Why did you suddenly come back?"

"Oh my, big boss! It's bad, it's terrible! The barbarians have sent a large army to encircle us."

Ok?

It turned out that Zhang Hu went hunting in the mountains. When he was halfway up the mountain, he saw the barbarian army coming towards him, so he hurried back to report the situation.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaodao didn't care at all. He sneered and said, "Why are you panicking? What's there to panic about? It's not like we haven't fought against the barbarians before. We have an old relationship with them."

Yes! They fought back and forth many times because Liangshan's presence posed a serious threat to the shipping route. Furthermore, these guys repeatedly plundered the barbarians' military supplies, so they sent out several encirclement and suppression attacks, but each time they failed.

But this time...

"Boss! I saw them coming with artillery this time!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaodao frowned and began to panic for the first time.

In the past, they fought against the barbarians with firearms in their hands. Why? Now the barbarians also have weapons?

And artillery?

No! Where did the barbarians get their artillery?

Wang Yuanya, who was standing by, was a little embarrassed because she knew where the cannon came from. Her fellow rebels had lost the cannon and fled when they were defeated.

Then, after it was captured by the barbarians, they took it back and copied it.

The scariest thing is...

What they lost was the "Red Cannon"! The most powerful artillery of our time.

Of course, this is true if we don't count the Qin army's weapons.

"Let's go! Let's take a look!"

Chen Xiaodao called out, and then a group of people walked outside, all the way to the halfway point of the mountain to look down.

hiss!

I have to say, they were really scared!

I saw a huge group of soldiers coming towards this side. Not only did they have muskets in their hands, but at the back, I could even see a group of people escorting huge cannons.

Damn it!

Chen Xiaodao, who was watching through a telescope, was twitching with fear. What evil had he done? How could he deserve to be bombarded with a red cannon?

In fact, the answer is very simple!

What would you do when you have an indestructible dragon-slaying sword in your hand?

You must be itching to find something to test the knife, right?

This is not...

The same goes for the Sixth Prince Bochijin!

By imitating the red cannon that was brought back last time, the barbarians finally have their own cannon!

After the experiment, Bo Chijin was very satisfied with the exaggerated range.

He really wanted to drag them to the battlefield immediately to compete with Li Jize's Qin army, but then he thought, what he had under his command were the "Second Qi Army", and they were all scared by the Qin army, right?

No! These people's combat capabilities are too poor, and we need to rebuild their confidence.

How to build confidence?

Simple! Just pick a weaker opponent.

After winning one battle after another, their confidence naturally returned after they won a few more victories.

By then, I'm afraid they will be able to take a few bites when facing the Qin army.

So where is this soft persimmon in their notification area?

Of course it’s the bandits!

On the one hand, it can train the morale, combat capabilities, and artillery proficiency of the "Two Qi Armies", and on the other hand, it can ensure the peace of the land under its rule. Eradicating bandits is a great achievement for the people.

this is not……

Along the way, we have won battle after battle relying on artillery!

This group of people started to feel a little bit arrogant, and suddenly they thought of the Liangshan heroes who gave them the most headaches and who had dealt with them, the barbarians, before.

OK! Now let’s compete again. Now that everyone has guns and cannons, who’s afraid of whom?

Seeing those huge cannons, Chen Xiaodao couldn't help but clench his teeth. He knew that the Qin army was well-equipped and could easily crush these people.

but……

I'm sorry, the weapons of these Liangshan heroes are still from the previous generation.

In other words, there is no generation gap between them and this group of people, and they are even a little behind in artillery.

After all, it's on the top of a mountain. If you're not going to attack the enemy, what do you need the red cannon for?

Secondly, in the past, when there were no firearms, they directly beat these people. As a result, these people's weapons have been upgraded, while they are still stuck in the previous generation.

"What should I do? The boss seems to be a little difficult to deal with!"

"How come these bastards have red cannons? Moreover, the muzzle of their cannon is even bigger than the red cannons I've seen before!"

"Can we still defeat them?"

The Liangshan heroes had always won before, but now they were a little fed up after seeing the barbarians' new tricks.

"Regardless of whether we can win or not, how will we know if we don't fight? Besides..."

Chen Xiaodao turned his head to glance at the stronghold behind him and asked, "Your wives and children are all in there. If you don't fight them, are you going to hand them all over to these Erqi soldiers?"
