over a bowl of congee and said, "Here it is. Since it's not good, Your Highness shouldn't drink it. Concubine will take it back..."Zhao Rui's words hadn't finished when Li Chen directly took the bowl...Chapter 1044: Gun

"Your Highness, we are about to lose it."

San Bao saw that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable and said to Li Chen, "Why don't we retreat back to Taimiao first and make plans"

It's okay.

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "Let the rest of them retreat."

But...

Li Chen glanced at the three treasures and said faintly, "When will you be able to be this palace's master"

Sān Bǎo's face tightened, and he immediately took the order and acted.

The battlefield was a scene of brutal carnage. As the disparity in numbers widened with each casualty, and both sides pushed their soldiers to the very limit of exhaustion, the situation devolved into a one-sided massacre.

At this time, the order to retreat came, and all the soldiers immediately contracted their lines of defense.

Even though it was a withdrawal, they still held to their duties, did not run away, nor did they disintegrate.

Seeing that the thousands of soldiers from before had now dwindled to a few hundred, all bearing wounds, Li Chen's eyes flickered. He turned to Sanbao beside him and said, "In this battle, record the names of all the soldiers who participated. After the war, this palace will properly reward them."

San Bao bowed slightly, indicating that he understood.

The battle came to an end with Li Chen's order to retreat.

The defenders contracted their lines, while the rebels continued to tighten their encirclement.

Soon, all were compressed by the rebels within a range of less than a hundred meters in front of the Taimiao palace gate.

Li Yinhu followed the rebel army forward, now close enough to see Li Chen clearly.

With a crazed grin on his face, Li Yinhou could almost see the dawn of victory.

But this time, he wasn't planning on beating around the bush.

All he wanted was Li Chen dead.

Li Yinhu may not know the saying "the villain dies from too much talk," but he definitely knows what it means to have a long night and many dreams.

They were scared!

"Charge! Charge at them!"

"My bounty is still active!"

Whoever scores the first goal at Tai Temple will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, and whoever kills Prince Li Chen will be awarded the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!

Li Yinhu's voice was filled with ferocity and madness. He roared, "Charge!"

Kill!

The thousands of remaining rebels on the scene roared with a deafening cry, charging forward with their weapons in one final desperate assault.

Facing the enemy army that surged in like a tsunami, Li Chen slightly raised his head and said, "The time is almost here."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the palace gate in Taimiao suddenly swung open.

More than one hundred soldiers ran out.

These more than one hundred people were all carefully trained musketeers by Li Chen.

Li Yinhu glanced at it, his eyelids twitching. Although he had a bad premonition, he still laughed wildly: "Li Chen, are you insane What use are over a hundred people now"

He was answered by over a hundred soldiers who, with impassive faces, executed the operation as they always did.

They stood in three rows, shoulder to shoulder.

The first row knelt on one knee, the second row bowed, and the third row stood straight.

After forming a queue, they immediately raised their guns and aimed, then...

Bang bang bang!!!

This was not the first gunshot to echo across the Qin Empire, but it was undoubtedly the first time that a weapon so close to modern firearms made its mark on the battlefield.

Driven by gunpowder, the bullet shot out of the barrel, propelled by the explosive force of the gunpowder, it sped out at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

The moment the gunshots rang out, the rebel soldiers charging at the front lines fell like wheat being cut, a large swathe of them collapsing instantly.

After a volley of fire, over one hundred rebels were killed outright.

Then these soldiers immediately prepared for a second barrage.

But that still takes time.

In this era, limited by craftsmanship and materials, firearms are incapable of automatic fire.

But Li Chen, has even greater killing weapons.e still chose to cooperate."Master Xu, why are you crying" Su Jinpa asked.Xu Changqing wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up with a mournful face, and bowed to Su Jinpa, saying: "Your...
