Chapter 56 Times Have Changed

Wu Sangui hurriedly ordered troops to be dispatched.

Xu Xuan was the core figure of Changguo. Without the certification of the Heavenly Master, there would be no recognition from the majority of believers, and the divine right of the king could not be carried out, and Xu Yong's usurpation of the throne would not be so smooth.

As long as Xu Xuan was captured, it was equivalent to holding the lifeline of Changguo. In this way, Xu Yong would have to negotiate with him obediently.

Three thousand Wu troops were dispatched.

Due to the urgency of time, it would take too long to dispatch the army. If they ran to Xiangyang, or the Xiangyang army came to support them, it would be bad.

So first mobilize those who can be mobilized, and take down these people first.

These three thousand soldiers and horses are all elite, each wearing leather armor, skilled in archery and horse riding, and it is easy to deal with eight hundred people.

Outside the city, soldiers and horses gathered, and flags were like forests.

Wu Sangui put on the white armor and white helmet symbolizing the leader, with a conspicuous red tassel on the top of the helmet.

"Dad!" The heroic young general dismounted and saluted. This was the legitimate son Wu Yingqi.

"Well, let's go."

The army was on the move, and not far away, there was another sound of horse hooves.

I saw a group of dark-skinned cavalrymen with wild eyes blocking the crowd.

The cavalry retreated to the sides, and a fat man with a beard rode out slowly, with contempt in his eyes.

"Where is the King of Pingxi going?"

There is a traitor!

This was Wu Sangui's first thought, but think about it, such a large-scale military deployment could not be concealed from everyone.

"It turned out to be Prince Yu. The Baidi Sect's Xu Xuan demon thief is nearby. I just want to arrest this man."

"Why not go together?" Duoduo smiled.

"Okay, trouble you, my lord."

In this way, one thousand barbarian cavalry and three thousand Han cavalry set off, following the clues found by the scouts along the way, heading for the destination.

At the same time, Shigang Village.

This place was originally a prosperous village, but because of the war, all the villagers migrated to the south, and it became an empty city.

A group of senior officials lived in the slightly intact houses.

The oil lamps were lit to dispel the damp and rotten smell in the air.

Xu Xuan was flipping through a booklet full of pictures. Opposite him was Xie Miao, who was dressed in men's clothes and full of heroic spirit. He was also the head of Yunmeng Hospital. Almost all the senior officials of the White Lotus Sect were transformed into medical talents.

This is a secret book that records various surgeries.

"We discovered bacteria, studied the method of sterilization, and retrained midwives through the White Emperor Sect. At present, the infant mortality rate has dropped to about one-fifth, and the Zhongjing Wuchang area is one-eighth. The main reason is that the promotion progress is not enough, otherwise it can be lower." Xie Miao reported one by one.

Li Jianxing stood at the window holding a sword and on guard. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's really a great merit."

"Yes, fellow Daoist Jianxing, you should ask other Taoists to publicize it more, let more rich people participate, and treat this kind of thing as a merit." Xu Xuan closed the book, "For example, increase the price of incense, or auction the first incense stick, and donate the proceeds from the auction to medical causes, etc."

"Good idea, I'll ask someone to handle it when I go back." Li Jianxing's eyes lit up.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be done on the spur of the moment. We must cooperate with the government and formulate some laws to supervise to prevent some people from taking advantage of the opportunity to make money.

Several people chatted from time to time, from astronomy to the country, just to kill time.

Gradually, Xu Xuan's thoughts drifted to the mirror world.

In the mirror world, Hong Yi endured for five or six years and used the Huangting inner scene magic to train three hundred dead men. On the surface, they were servants, but in fact, each of them had extraordinary martial arts.

At the same time, there are two hundred zombies, who are now sharpening their knives and preparing for the right time to take revenge.

"Master Xuanzhen is here!"

Xu Xuan hadn't seen enough when someone came in to report.

"Bring him in."

Li Changsheng brought Xuanzhen in.

When Xuanzhen saw Xu Xuan, his first impression was that he was young.

Very young, Master Xu should be around 40 years old, and he looks like a young man in his early twenties.

Of course, he didn't think that the other party had found a young man to impersonate Xu Xuan, no young man has this kind of temperament and eyes that have experienced vicissitudes.

Just as Zhang Duxiao saw Xu Xuan at first sight, Xuanzhen, as the leader of the Northern Great Sect, also saw Xu Xuan's immortal appearance.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen, thank you for your hard work." Xu Xuan stood up to welcome him.

"Hello, Master Xu, I should have come earlier, but I didn't recognize the great man." Xuanzhen didn't know what Xu Xuan's ability was, but it seemed that he was not simple.

"You are safe here. After we finish dealing with the enemies, we will go back to Xiangyang together."

"Aren't you leaving right away?"

"No need. It's a good time to deal with some people." Xu Xuan picked up the gun on the table and wiped the oil off with a cloth.

The iron gun has not seen blood yet, and it is waiting to be tested.

When everyone went out, Li Jianxing arranged for everyone to get a gun.

"Guns are too troublesome. Just give me a knife." Xuan Zhen shook his head.

Li Jianxing fired a shot at the wall not far away, then took out a paper bucket the size of his little finger, poured the ammunition into the barrel, pushed it with a rod, and continued to pull the trigger. The flint hit the firing port, the gunpowder exploded, and the bullet flew out.

Five bullets were fired in one minute, and at the same time Li Jianxing demonstrated how to use the bayonet.

"Times have changed, guns and cannons are the king, take it."

Xuan Zhen was stunned. In this case, what is the point of practicing martial arts? I am afraid that martial artists will not be able to go to the battlefield in the future, and can only do intelligence work such as spies.

Eight hundred people guarded the entrance of the village and isolated the surroundings with wooden stakes, stones, and gullies.

Rumble...

Soon, a sound of horse hooves came, and more and more cavalry appeared. From the perspective of everyone, these cavalry seemed endless.

Both sides raised flags at the same time and prepared to fight. The Shenjiying loaded firearms, and the eight hundred people were divided into three rows in front, middle and back, but they were not in a hurry to shoot, but waited for the order of the commander.

"Whose troops are this?" Xu Xuan asked his left and right.

Scout captain Liu Yuan said: "Report to Tianshi, the troops ahead are Wu Sangui and Duoduo's."

"Wu Sangui, Duoduo...tsk tsk..."

Two heavyweight executioners, today I met them.

Well, I haven't taken action for many years. Except for Haoge, I have never killed a barbarian of status. It's a good time to test the waters.

In the enemy direction, Wu Sangui and others also saw the people queuing at the entrance of the village. The leader of Zhongnan Mountain who surrendered to the barbarians rode with a big braid.

"What the hell?"

Wu Sangui felt a little contemptuous. The Chang army he faced was not like this. Could it be that Xu Xuan was commanding blindly? This kind of army formation was like thin paper, and the cavalry would break it with a charge.

Did they think that the bird guns in their hands could stop the cavalry charge?

The killing range of most bird guns was not as good as the strong bows of the Eight Banners cavalry, and the firing rate was slow, so there was almost no chance of a second shot.

"Kill!!"

Great achievements are coming.

In the middle army, Duoduo drew his sword and pointed at Shigang, and the cavalry charge began.

Duoduo showed a bloody and cruel smile: "Evil thief Xu Xuan, today I must see you shaking your tail and begging for mercy."

The iron hooves of the Jin soldiers were unstoppable. They trampled the Han Dynasty under their feet and cast his throne with human heads. The enemies in front of him were just his military merits.

In Shigang Village, Xu Xuan remained calm.

The Jin cavalry was indeed strong, but it was a pity that they met the heaven-defying self.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and the Jin cavalry charging in the front were ready to display their unique skills of riding and shooting.

At 150 meters, the Shenji Camp took the lead.

Boom boom boom!

Gun smoke rose, and iron sand shot out in unison.
