Chapter 906: Start the War Directly

Qin'er lowered her head, "The prince has already left for Xijiang County."

Gu Fei nodded and said "hmm".

Qin'er whispered, "Master, aren't you angry?"

Gu Fei shook her head, "No, he's not necessarily going there to meet his bride. I won't get angry before it happens."

"Let's wait until he really gets married."

Gu Fei still believed in Xiao Yu. Since he said he had his own way, it shouldn't be empty talk.

A month passed in a flash, and it was already May 30th.

Gu Fei did nothing, just quietly waiting for news.

After waiting for a few days, Qin'er brought news again.

Gu Fei opened the note and read it. It said that the prince was in Xijiang County on May 30th, and suddenly led his troops across the border, and quickly broke through the city and went to the county capital Tanzhou.

That was all the news, and it would take time for the follow-up news to be delivered.

Gu Fei smiled after reading it, Xiao Yu still didn't let her down.

The King of Qi also received the news at the same time. He was furious after receiving the news.

Xiao Yu did not discuss this with him. Although he would fight sooner or later, he felt that it was not appropriate to take the lead.

The King of Qi could not understand why his son was unwilling to marry a concubine. He suspected that Gu Fei went to see Xiao Yu and got angry with him.

He had always liked and appreciated his daughter-in-law, but now he was dissatisfied.

I thought Gu Fei was a sensible person, but I didn't expect that at the critical moment, she would drag her feet for these romantic matters!

But there was no way to be dissatisfied. Since Xiao Yu had made a move, he had to bite the bullet and fight.

So the King of Qi made an emergency deployment to send troops to Hedong County, Dongshan County and Tanzhou.

Gu Fei didn't know that Xiao Yu didn't marry a concubine, which caused the prince's dissatisfaction with her.

But even if she knew, she wouldn't care. A few days later, Gu Fei received news from Xue Chen that the prince had broken through Tanzhou City with a weapon that had never been seen before.

This weapon is called a cannon. After firing, it made a loud noise and a flash of fire, and soon blew a hole in the wall of Tanzhou City.

The black-armored army poured into Tanzhou City like a tide.

Tanzhou City was the original location of the Chu Palace. The news did not mention what happened to the Chu King, and it was not known whether he was captured or killed by Xiao Yu, or whether the Chu King was not in Tanzhou.

The picture of the cannon was drawn by Gu Fei for Xiao Yu two or three years ago.

Guns have been developed a long time ago, but they are very unstable and easy to explode.

Cannons are also not very stable, and they have also exploded.

Later, Gu Fei recalled his limited knowledge of physics for a long time and put forward several suggestions. First, improve the level of metallurgy.

Second, add other metals and test repeatedly to see which alloy has the highest strength.

Third, increase the thickness of the barrel and improve the casting process of the barrel.

Fourth, accurately control the amount of gunpowder.

After repeated improvements, the probability of bursting has been reduced a lot.

This is the first time that Xiao Yu has used hot weapons in war. The effect is obviously shocking and epoch-making.

Attacking the city became much easier, and the casualties of the soldiers were greatly reduced.

Without the issue of marrying a concubine, Gu Fei's mood improved again, and she took the time to return to her parents' home.

Now that the Gu family lives in the city, Gu Fei sent someone home a day in advance to tell them that the carriage went in from the main gate and stopped at the second gate, and everyone in the family, young and old, was waiting at the second gate.

Gu Qing stepped forward and carefully helped his sister down.

Chen hurried forward, "You are now more than six months pregnant, so you should go out less. This carriage is also bumpy to sit in."
