Chapter 88
The Xiao family army was in front and the Xihe army was behind. Following the leadership of several prisoners, they came to outside Xifeng Village. This Xifeng Village indeed built a lot of fortifications, wooden village walls, and arrow towers, which looked like a small city. However, there was no defender on the village wall now, and no news came from inside.
Seeing this situation, Yang Yichuan was a little confused and dared not act rashly. "Sister Mu Xue, General Lin, do you think they have really retreated, or are they planning to deliberately lead us to attack the village?"
Xiao Muxue looked at it carefully, "It should be that there is no one."
Yang Yichuan didn't want to take risks either. If someone was ambushed and suddenly a few arrows flew out, he would still be very dangerous.
"No matter what, let's talk about it first, General Lin will arrange it."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Xiao Muxue, Xiao Muyuan and Yuan Zhen must be a little confused. What do you want? What does it mean? Is it a special command or something else? Lin Tu had already asked someone to push the cannon forward.
Fortunately, the village is relatively flat, and there is an open space in front of it, and the trees and other things have been cleared. With such a slightly flat area, you can set up a cannon to bombard it.
The artillery finally appeared. Xiao Muxue and Xiao Muyuan looked at the big lump in surprise. It looked like an iron rod, but the middle was empty, so what could it do? It was completely beyond the imagination of the two. Not only the Xiao siblings, but also the people from the Xiao family army also found it strange. Shouldn't they attack directly? Even if they had to test, shouldn't they shoot arrows? Why did they push out two unknown things?
"You are ready to fight towards the village gate. If the village gate breaks, it will hit the wall."
"The rest of you, the Xiao family army, come with me and stay away a little bit." The firing matter was left to Lin Tu, and Yang Yichuan and Xiao Muxue took the remaining people to the side.
"Your Highness, what is this and what is it for?"
"You will know later. This thing will definitely subvert the current combat method. When it is used to fight against the Beiyuan people in the future, you will definitely be able to defeat the Beiyuan people step by step."
Yang Yichuan explained to Xiao Muxue that Xiao Muxue only thought that Yang Yichuan was bragging. Just because of the most elite Xiao family army now, when facing the Beiyuan people, they could not defeat the large number with less. The Xiao family army only had 50,000 people, and there were so many tribes in Beiyuan people, but there were quite a few people. Moreover, the Beiyuan people men could fight on the horse, so there were not many soldiers.
The two cannons were ready. Yang Yichuan looked at these people and was still waiting boredly. "Sister Mu Xue, Mu Yuan, cover your ears, so that your people can also cover your ears, don't be scared."
Xiao Muxue looked disdainful and was scared. Could this thing be just used to scare people, right? Xiao Muyuan was very conscious and covered his ears. The people of the Xiao family army did not make any noise. The people of Xihejun naturally knew what to do and did not need to issue orders.
Two "booms" sounds, two shells flew out, and in a flash, the shells had destroyed the village gate and the walls.
The huge sound shocked the Xiao family army and Xiao Muxue. It was too loud, like thunder suddenly rising, and it was close to my ears. Under these two sounds, the entire forest echoed, the birds scattered, and the beasts were shocked.
The loud noise had already scared Xiao Muxue, but this powerful destructive power made the Xiao family army even more stunned. Xifeng Village was blown away like this? If someone really guarded it, wouldn’t it be killed with one piece? Not only the village gate, but the buildings inside were also destroyed, and under these two shells, it was so tragic.
Xiao Muxue obviously hadn't come back to her senses yet. All this was incredible. This kind of power was even stronger than the legendary innate master. "Yichuan, are these two things? Is it what they are now?"
"Or what will Sister Mu Xue think?"
Yang Yichuan was very satisfied with Xiao Muxue's expression. He was indeed shocked by everyone he had never seen before. In fact, the artillery that Xihejun saw for the first time was even more exaggerated than the current Xiao family army.
Yang Yichuan also made a gesture to the other side and asked them to have another round.
The artillery was cleaned up and the next round of fire preparations were prepared.
Soon, two more guns were fired. This huge Xifeng Village looked quite solid. The easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack Xifeng Village destroyed 30% of the time. The main reason was that the destructive power was too strong, and it was like destroying it, leaving a mess. Such visual impact was indeed even more shocking. If this was on the battlefield, if there were more things, could the enemy be wiped out when the opponent was still far away? The power of this thing was much stronger than that of a bow and arrow, and the range seemed to be farther. Even after destroying the wall, the shells still flew in for a distance, causing more damage.
The bandits in Xifengzhai, hiding in a remote cave in the back mountain, also felt something was wrong, especially the bolts from the blue, which scared several small bandits in panic. Perhaps because they knew that the Xiao family army had rushed over to suppress the bandits, a few bandits attributed the "sound of thunder" to the Xiao family army, and became even more uneasy.
After two rounds, no one came out of Xifeng Village, and no panic sounds were heard. If there were really someone, it would be impossible not to escape.
"Sister Mu Xue, depending on the situation, there is indeed no one in this village. I will send a few teams to check it out first. I just don't know if the people from Xifeng Village will ambush some dangerous things like gunpowder."
"Well, too, send a few teams to take a look." Xiao Muxue directly ordered that Yuan Zhen send three teams to take a look.
Three teams, three directions, went in and checked, and it was indeed the scene of people leaving the village empty. As for the gunpowder that Yang Yichuan was worried about, there was no such trace. At least after preliminary investigation, there was no such discovery. Although Duan Jiangliu was cruel to others, he still cherished his life. Duan Jiangliu had never thought about burying gunpowder. Because there was no gunpowder on the mountain, he was a person who lacked a sense of security, so how could he keep such dangerous things?
"Bring those people over to me, I have something to ask them."
Four panic-ridden bandits were taken over by the Xiao family army and knelt on the ground with a little force. They were still scared by the power of the cannon just now. They were even a little lucky to have been caught and might have a little vitality. If they were in the village, they might have been completely incomplete.
"Your Highness Prince Chuan, no matter what we do, we just follow orders."
"Yes, yes, Your Highness Prince Chuan, we will never reserve what you want to ask."
"Duan Jiangliu is extremely guilty, and we are willing to help Prince Chuan catch him."
Yang Yichuan couldn't help but sneer, but he didn't show it very clearly, "Well, the attitude is pretty good, let's take us to the back mountain now?"
"Yes, we will lead the way now and help His Highness persuade him to surrender."
"Yeah." Yang Yichuan was too lazy to raise his eyes, but he just responded casually. It is true that Xifeng Village has committed a big deal, but it may not be realistic to kill them all. Xihecheng and Xihezhou are in short supply. Let these people be used as cheap labor. Just squeeze them as conditions for their survival.
"Sister Muxue, do you think we are going?"
"I originally thought that Xifeng Village was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and strong attack would lead to great losses, but now with artillery, it is not difficult to capture it. Our Xiao family army has 5,000 people, and the Xihe army also has 1,000 people. We have the advantage of the number, so there is no reason not to go and see it." After a brief analysis, Xiao Muxue naturally decided to take the opportunity to eradicate this disaster.
