In fact, the gunners of the Flying Tiger Army have been returning fire with homemade red-coated cannons. But the cannons of the Northern Qing Dynasty are all new types of artillery purchased from Western countries, and the range, power, and accuracy are much higher than those of the red-coated cannons.

"General, our artillery can't reach them." The gunner Xiaohu shouted angrily. Mu Chengzi let out a long sigh and collapsed on the city tower, watching the Flying Tiger Army he had worked so hard to manage be destroyed.

It is only a matter of time before the north gate is broken, in March this year, the Northern Qing Dynasty dispatched 80,000 troops, the iron barrel of the Huaixi city siege, to August, back and forth fighting dozens of times, both sides suffered heavy casualties, the defense line of the Huaixi gates is already the end of the crossbow, the soldiers in the city are less than 8,000, the grain and grass are already insufficient, the soldiers defending the city can only eat one black bun every day, even His Royal Highness King An, can only drink one bowl of porridge a day.

At this time, the artillery fire of the Northern Qing Dynasty stopped, and Mu Chengzi knew that after a while, the vanguard of the Northern Qing Dynasty was about to set up a ladder and rushed up, he pulled out the golden revolver pinned to his waist and shouted: "Brothers, the thieves of the Northern Qing Dynasty are going to come up, those who can move, those who can get up, are ready to him." ”

Mu Chengzi glanced at it, and there were only a few hundred brothers on the north gate who could get up. They were arming their bows and arrows, loading muskets, or leaning feebly against the walls, silently waiting for the final battle.

The remnant sun was like blood, Mu Chengzi stroked the revolver and remembered a lot of past events. This Colt revolver is Citigroup and has a capacity of five rounds and can be fired in combos.

In the battle of Qingxi with the Northern Qing Dynasty two years ago, His Royal Highness King An was besieged and surrounded by 5,000 Northern Qing musket cavalry. Mu Chengzi was only a hundred commanders at that time, and when he saw the crisis of the commander, he led more than 100 of his subordinates to ride hard, rushed and beat hard, and tore a hole in the encirclement to rescue His Royal Highness King An, and King An rewarded him with a personal revolver in recognition of Mu Chengzi's loyalty.

After that, King An raised his lead, after many battles, Mu Chengzi repeatedly made military exploits, rose step by step, opened the altar and raised the tent, and became the most capable general under King An, known as the "Flying Tiger General", the first of the "Three Tiger Generals" of King An, and the 10,000 Flying Tiger Army under his jurisdiction, dressed in red, was the main force under King An.

The other two tigers are the "Black Tiger General" Mu Hongwei, who commands the 6,000 Black Tiger Brigade, dressed in soap clothes, and is an assault cavalry under King An. "White Tiger General" Qin Sanjiang, under the jurisdiction of 3,000 white tiger guards, dressed in white, is the personal guard under King An. Every time he fought, Mu Chengzi carried a revolver with him, and this revolver also witnessed his loyalty to King An and his great achievements.

This time to defend Huaixi City, King An handed over the most stressful Beicheng to Mu Chengzi, and it was even more of a trust in him and the Flying Tiger Army. "Even if I die, my Mu Chengzi will die on the city tower." Mu Chengzi firmly pushed the bullets into the revolver.

"Report, General, General Mu, the commander of the Black Tiger Army, has come to pass on His Highness's military orders." The outposts and battalions all came in.

"Mu Hongwei is not stationed at the south gate, what are you doing here?" Mu Chengzi felt a little weird, but he didn't dare to delay the military order, so he said, "Please." ”

"Big brother, His Royal Highness King An's order can only ask you to withdraw from your subordinates." Mu Hongwei came with a small team of White Tiger Guard sergeants to announce the order.

Although Mu Chengzi was a little unhappy, the king's order could not be violated, so he could only signal to retreat left and right.

"His Royal Highness King An ordered the remaining tribes of the Flying Tiger Army to withdraw from the north gate a few days ago and assemble at the south gate schoolyard.

"Withdraw?" Mu Chengzi was shocked: "Isn't this to give up the North Gate and Huaixi City to the Northern Qing Dynasty?" ”

"His Royal Highness King An's military order, who dares to disobey it, maybe His Royal Highness has his own clever plan, brother, we are generals to carry out military orders, there is nothing to be surprised about." Mu Hongwei handed over the talisman and documents for the transfer of troops to Mu Chengzi, and Mu Chengzi checked it carefully, and it was indeed the soldier talisman and the big seal of King An.

"Brother, you are stationed at the South Gate, why did you send you to lead the White Tiger Guard to announce the order, General Qin?" Mu Chengzi asked suspiciously.

"Brother, forgive me for talking too much, you don't believe what your brother says, Your Highness's military order is executed, and General Qin has his own military order." Mu Hongwei sighed.

"Carry out military orders, hehe." Mu Chengzi walked a few steps, looked at the team of white tiger guards, and suddenly pulled out his saber, only to see a few white lights flashing, the helmets of the two white tiger guards were picked off, and two oily black braids were coiled on their heads. "I think it's the execution of the military orders of the Northern Qing Dynasty!"

The hair buns of the Northern Qing Dynasty and the Nanping Dynasty are different, the Northern Qing people have braids, and the Nanping people tie their hair, and this white tiger guard is clearly a pretending to be a Northern Qing Dynasty.

"Do it to me." Mu Hongwei saw that the situation was not good, and shouted. The White Tiger Guards drew their sabers one after another. It was too late, it was too fast, Mu Chengzi picked up the revolver musket and fired two in a row, and the two white tiger guards fell to the ground in response. "Come on, arrest these thieves for me." Mu Chengzi shouted loudly to his cronies.

"Big brother, don't be stubborn, your subordinates are already anyway, as the saying goes, those who know the times are handsome, you better follow the general trend, and throw yourself to the side of the Northern Qing Dynasty, high-ranking officials are generous, glorious and rich, why bother to be martyred for this dynasty." Mu Hongwei shouted while hiding behind the gatepost of the city tower.

"Mu Hongwei, it must be you who colluded with Beiqing to fake the king's order. There is only Mu Chengzi who died in battle, and there is no Mu Chengzi who surrendered. Mu Chengzi said, raised his hand and shot again, killing a white tiger guard. After fighting for a long time, he didn't see his subordinates coming to protect him, and Mu Chengzi knew that he must have been controlled by Mu Hongwei.

"Big brother, look at what this is."

A thing rolled to Mu Chengzi's side, and Mu Chengzi looked at it, it was the head of King An.

Looking at King An's head, Mu Chengzi froze, the revolver fell to the ground, he hugged King An's head and cried, King An treated him with the grace of knowing and carrying, he fought for the Nanping Dynasty, in fact, he fought for King An, as soon as King An died, the Optimus Prime in his heart collapsed.

"Give it to me." Mu Hongwei shouted, taking advantage of Mu Chengzi's mental breakdown, several white tiger guards rushed forward and put their sabers across Mu Chengzi's neck.

"Big brother, King An has already driven to the west, don't be too sad. I have reached an agreement with the commander of the Northern Qing Dynasty, anyway, the officers and soldiers of the Nanping Army, who are willing to continue to serve, will be promoted to one level, and those who are willing to go home will be paid travel expenses. Mu Hongwei soothed: "Brother, I did this completely to protect our Mu family." ”

Mu Chengzi was escorted to the south gate by the White Tiger Guard, and the south gate had been replaced with the banner of the Northern Qing Dynasty, and he saw Qin Sanjiang and the Nanping army captives in the south gate urn city. "Sure enough, the White Tiger Guard was also poisoned." Mu Chengzi sighed: "I can't think of my brother's way." ”

More than 5,000 Nanping army captives were imprisoned in the urn city, which was 100 meters square.

That night, there were bursts of crying and howling from the city, and everyone was uneasy. Mu Chengzi knew that the Northern Qing army had entered the city. Mu Chengzi sighed, he was not afraid of death, but it was a pity that thousands of soldiers and family members were killed.

Sure enough, at noon the next day, when Mu Hongwei was standing on the city wall with red eyes, he roared wildly, "Kill, kill, kill them all." "Three thousand Beiqing archers stood on the wall of the urn city, condescendingly, and shot the evil bow and arrow to the Nanping army soldiers in the urn city, for a time, the urn city became a living hell, scolding, moaning, endlessly, the Nanping army soldiers fell one after another.

In order to save Mu Chengzi's life, Mu Hongwei cut all Mu Chengzi's face with a knife, wrapped it in a white cloth, and mixed it in the team of wounded soldiers in the Northern Qing Dynasty. However, two years later, after the end of the war, Mu Hongwei made a general, returned to Chang'an, imprisoned Mu Chengzi in the wooden tower, and forced him to ask about the whereabouts of the "Book of Eternal Life", and Mu Chengzi swore not to say anything.

Later, Mu Chengzi learned that the Northern Qing Dynasty bought Mu Hongwei with a copy of "The Book of Eternal Life".

"I am forced with my life, unless there is a descendant of the Mu family who can pass these levels, and I have personally selected them to take on this great responsibility." Mu Chengzi stroked his left hand and said helplessly: "The wooden tower is actually the place where the Mu family has exercised and selected heirs for generations. Although your grandfather and father have both broken through, I really did not entrust them to their faces, and I have seen you until today. ”

"Impossible, impossible, impossible! You slander them! Mu Zifeng shook his head painfully. His father and grandfather have always been righteous and bright figures in his heart, and he has also taught him to be an upright person since he was a child. But in the mouth of the "strange face", it turned out to be so despicable, which made him really unacceptable.

"The predecessors said that our Mu family will not live to be 50 years old, so why did you live to such an age?" Mu Zifeng suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he tried his best to calm his anger, because anger would affect his judgment.

Finally Mu Zifeng found this flaw.

"Slander? Hum! "Strange Face" said in a disdainful tone: "I was trapped in the wooden tower back then, and I realized the soul recovery spell day and night, and discovered an important secret!" ”

"Strange Face" said that he practiced day and night according to the secret in the spell, and not only did the "strange disease" not attack for a long time, but he actually lived for more than a hundred years.

"Your grandfather was very strange about why I didn't get sick, so I falsely claimed that I knew how to use medicine, and asked to build this altar and a big tripod, and provide medicinal materials for me to use in my cultivation of medicine."

At this time, Mu Zifeng found that the fire under Dading had been extinguished. He was still skeptical of the "strange face" statement, but he felt in his heart that no matter whether the "strange face" statement was true or not, at least his father's disappearance was inextricably linked to the "Book of Eternal Life" and the Rouran Dynasty. What is written in the "Book of Eternal Life" makes so many people rush to it. Mu Zifeng was really curious, this "strange face" kept saying that he was the inheritor of the "Book of Eternal Life", so where was the "Book of Eternal Life" stored?

"Senior, you said that you said that you are the successor of the Mu family's "Eternal Life Sutra", so where is the "Eternal Life Sutra" now?"

"Then you agree to be the successor of the Mu family?" A rare excitement flashed in the eyes of the "strange face", he walked to the side of Da Ding and laughed: "God, forty years, I have finally waited for this day!" ”

"Boy, let me tell you, you listened carefully to the hiding place of the Mu family's Book of Eternal Life." "Strange Face" coughed and cleared his throat: "Ghost Motu Roman, Tashi Corador." ”

"What do you mean, Senpai?" Mu Zifeng was quite puzzled.

"It's a soft phrase, it means ......" The "strange face" said as he spoke, and suddenly there was no sound.

"Senior, what does that soft saying mean?" Mu Zifeng asked, but found that the "strange face" was motionless.

Mu Zifeng stepped forward and found that the "strange face" widened his protruding eyes and opened his torn mouth, as if looking ahead with hatred.

"Senpai? Predecessor? Mu Zifeng saw that the "strange face" did not react, and quickly shook his body, only to hear the sound of the staggered impact of the "iron chains".

Mu Zifeng probed the snort of the "strange face" and was shocked, because the "strange face" actually had no breath at all, and his soul returned to the nine heavens.

There was also a "sizzling" sound behind him, and Mu Zifeng turned around sharply and saw the "flying dragon" cross-legged, sticking out his tongue at the dark part of the stairs.

"Who?"

Mu Zifeng shouted, held the sword of King Yue, and ran out.

Sure enough, a figure flashed past the staircase.
