Chapter 417: I Can't Beat Him

"Fire!" Xiao Qiyu roared, "If the Yuan Family Army dares to rebel, blow them up along with the rest."

Boom! Boom!

Several cannonballs landed in the field, blowing countless people to pieces.

"Retreat first!" Xiao Moting ordered in a deep voice.

Zhou Yanli suddenly appeared and ordered the Yuan Family Army to withdraw; regardless of his motives, he had given him a chance.

However, Xiao Qiyu noticed the signs and immediately narrowed his eyes.

"Trying to run?"

"Firearm Squad, open fire for me."

The soldiers of the Artillery Squad and the Firearm Squad were all Yuan Canghai's confidants; these men would not kneel and worship the moment they saw Zhou Yanli like the low-ranking soldiers.

Xiao Moting frowned deeply.

The Firearm Squad unleashed a rain of bullets, leaving the retreating Beijiang Army dead or wounded.

They could not retreat!

Suddenly!

A troop of soldiers charged in from the rear flank, rushing into the battlefield!

This troop was extremely fierce, holding broadswords and hacking away!

"It's Zhang Yu's Peasant Army!" Qin Zhan's eyes lit up, "How did they get here too?"

Zhang Yu charged at the very front, wearing the Bulletproof Vest Bai Wei had given him at the time and a Bulletproof Helmet, fully armed.

He rushed forward, hacked an enemy soldier to death with one blow, and roared at Xiao Moting.

"Prince of Zhenbei, Zhang Yu has come to assist, to repay the kindness of you and Bai for saving us!"

The Peasant Army behind him numbered at least ten thousand.

The Peasant Army charged into the battlefield, hacking away valiantly.

This sudden turn of events made Yang Tianhu so angry he nearly vomited blood.

"This bunch of peasants, actually coming to cause trouble at a time like this."

Xiao Qiyu gritted his teeth even harder, "A bunch of low-borns who dig for food in the dirt, fighting alongside Xiao Moting—do they really think they can win?"

After saying this, he turned and shouted.

"Artillery Squad, Firearm Squad, reload immediately."

Yang Tianhu hurriedly said, "Fifth Prince, the situation on the battlefield is too chaotic right now; let's regroup for a while, there's no rush for this moment anyway."

Xiao Qiyu also regained his composure.

The Yuan Family Army had rebelled and left the battlefield, the Donghai Prefecture troops had failed to fill the gap in time, and with the meddling Peasant Army, it had become a total mess where everyone was fighting blindly.

He immediately gave the order.

"Retreat and regroup first, we will attack later."

Xiao Qiyu was not afraid at all.

Even with the Peasant Army assisting, so what? The cannons and firearms in his hands could kill everything.

Seeing Zhang Yu bring troops to assist, Xiao Moting felt a wave of emotion; he cupped his hands in a salute to the other from afar and also ordered the Beijiang Army to withdraw temporarily.

The battlefield was in chaos, and the Imperial Army also began to retreat to the rear, finally giving him a chance to regroup.

Soon, the Beijiang Army retreated to the rear.

Qin Zhan counted the numbers, his expression very heavy.

"Prince, the Beijiang Army has suffered over fifty percent casualties; the enemy's cannons and firearms are truly too fierce."

The remaining Beijiang Army soldiers were also exhausted, and many were wounded.

Zhang Yu also arrived with the Peasant Army.

"Prince of Zhenbei, this battle is not easy to fight."

"Thank you." Xiao Moting nodded at him, but he had no time for pleasantries and immediately took out Bai Wei's note, "Bai Wei has sent weapons."

Zhang Yu was immediately overjoyed, "What new weapons are there this time? My hands are itching."

Xiao Moting walked to an open space, sent a note to Bai Wei, and signaled for her to teleport them now.

As soon as the note was sent, items were delivered one after another.

The surrounding Beijiang Army soldiers were all stunned, staring blankly at everything.

Zhang Yu had originally been chewing on a blade of grass, but now his mouth hung open, and he didn't even notice the grass blade fall out.

He rubbed his eyes hard and muttered in shock.

"These... these are all weapons? I haven't seen a single one of them; are these weapons of the immortals?"

Xiao Moting looked at the massive items and was also speechless.

"There are vehicles, there are actually four Military Trucks." Qin Zhan was incredibly excited, knocking on the door of a truck, "They're even made of iron plates, this is too amazing."

Suddenly, several more cannons appeared in the field.

At this, the Beijiang Army completely erupted.

"What a huge cannon, we have cannons now too."

"This cannon is much more imposing than the Red Barbarian Cannons in the hands of the Imperial Army."

"Let's use our cannons to blast them too and let them have a taste."

The defeatist atmosphere in the Beijiang Army was swept away.

Everyone was as energized as if they had been injected with adrenaline, crowding around to look at the equipment.

At this moment, the Tablet Computer sent over by Bai Wei also arrived.

"Xiao Moting, the usage of this equipment is similar to what I sent you before. There are video tutorials on the Tablet."

"Those few cannons, their usage is the same as the Red Barbarian Cannon, and the tutorials are also on the video."

"There are also four military trucks; the bodies are made of specially crafted steel plates, and the windows are bulletproof glass. You will find them useful."

Time was of the essence, and Bai Wei did not say anything more.

Xiao Moting did not have time to reply to the note and immediately opened the tablet.

Bai Wei sent over forty Tablet Computers in one go, all provided by the military.

The soldiers all around immediately crowded around to watch.

The video appeared.

On the screen, a tall and sturdy young man wearing military green clothes was facing the camera, explaining in a deep voice.

"Hello everyone, I am an instructor from the 41st Division of the Military Department. Now, I will explain to you the usage method of the fully automatic AK-47 Soviet-style Rifle..."

Behind him, there was also a squad of soldiers standing in neat formation.

The Beijiang Army was both amazed and excited.

"Are these the Heavenly Soldiers from the Goddess's world? They stand so straight."

"How majestic. Is this green clothing the armor of the Heavenly Soldiers? It looks much more imposing than ours."

"These Heavenly Soldiers and Generals look very powerful at first glance."

Among the Beijiang Army, there were some soldiers who had used sniper rifles and fire muskets, but this automatic rifle was completely different from the fire muskets they had used. Everyone watched the video several times, but none of them understood it, and they all looked distressed.

Other soldiers had followed Xiao Moting to Yannan last time and had captured a batch of Fusang prisoners.

They had followed the Fusang prisoners and learned how to operate the Red Barbarian Cannon.

Soon, they mastered the usage methods for the few cannons.

Qin Zhan knew how to drive and could not wait to jump onto a military truck to start practicing.

Just as the Beijiang Army was excited, a figure arrived quietly.

Xiao Moting stood up straight and looked up at the other person.

The two looked at each other, neither speaking.

After a moment, Xiao Moting cupped his hands in a salute.

"Zhou, thank you."

"Hmph!" Zhou Yanli let out a cold snort and looked to the side.

At this moment, a fat man emerged from behind Zhou Yanli.

"Hehe, Prince, Zhou has no ill intentions; he just came to help you."

Seeing this little fat man, Han Guiying was also shocked.

"Dabao? How did you come here?"

As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Yanli in surprise, "You are still with Zhou Yanli?"

Xiao Dabao scratched his head and gave a silly smile.

"It's not just me; the troops of the Beijiang Camp have mobilized their entire force and have all come to reinforce you."

"They all came?" Han Guiying widened her eyes, "We are trapped here, and not even a bird can fly out. How did the Beijiang Camp know we were trapped?"

Xiao Dabao glanced at Zhou Yanli, "Naturally, it was Zhou who notified them."

Old General Han let out a long sigh of relief, "Zhou, I heard you have the ability of Precognition. Did you foresee that the Prince of Zhenbei was in danger, and that is why you went to notify the Beijiang Camp?"

Facing the elderly Old General Han, Zhou Yanli found it inconvenient to put on airs, so he turned his head and spoke indifferently.

"Yes."

Old General Han was puzzled, "Then the Tiger Tally?"

Xiao Dabao hurriedly said, "It was sent by Noble Consort Yun."

This time, it was Xiao Moting's turn to lose his composure, and he said in astonishment.

"My mother?"

Xiao Dabao hurriedly explained, "Noble Consort Yun sent a trusted aide to deliver a letter, asking for this Tiger Tally to be handed to you. But you were trapped at Shizi Ridge, and there were over four hundred thousand of the Imperial Court Army surrounding you, so the letter couldn't be delivered."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Yanli.

"Later, Zhou found me and asked for the Tiger Tally to be handed to him."

Xiao Moting's brows furrowed slightly.

He knew that Zhou Yanli must have used his Precognition to know that the Tiger Tally was in Xiao Dabao's hands.

"Dabao, you just handed the Tiger Tally to Zhou Yanli like that?" Han Guiying could not hold back, "You didn't even guard against him? What if someone else took the Tiger Tally and made the Yuan Family Army deal with us?"

Xiao Dabao looked aggrieved and spread his hands.

"I did guard against him, but... but I couldn't beat him."

"Later, the Tiger Tally was snatched away by Zhou."

His voice grew quieter as he spoke.

Han Guiying was so angry she could spit blood, "So after all that, this Tiger Tally was snatched away by Zhou Yanli? Besides eating, are you of any use at all?"
