And it was at this time when he was working as a gentleman that he knew a man from the West.

The Westerner found him, and as soon as they met, he spoke directly about his inner hardship.

He immediately realized what was wrong with him.

Imperial!

All because of the imperial power!

It's because of that damn imperial power that he has become what he is now.

At this moment, he found a way out that he thought was his own.

If he doesn't have the ability, he will borrow the power of others to achieve his own ends.

He believed that in his own hands, the whole world would be better accomplished than the royal family surnamed An.

So he began to plot.

And in the process, he discovered the strength of this Western country.

But the other party is so powerful and has countless lands that are larger than Zhengyang.

It should not covet these lands and power in his hands.

So the Duke of Shu began to plan the moment when he would one day become the co-master of the world.

Now the promised power of the Western country has finally come to him.

He did see the strength of the other party.

At this moment, all the desires in his heart began to swell wildly.

He finally gave the order to go out of Bashu.

The power that has been accumulated in his hands for a long time.

All the oppression that has been received for the past two years has exploded at this moment!

The army began to move towards the Bashu border.

But the Duke of Shu didn't notice that the hearts of the people in the entire Bashu land faintly collapsed at the moment he sent his troops.

The people's desire is to let people live and work in peace and contentment.

Instead of pitting them against their own compatriots.

After two years of peace in the world, the war finally broke out again!

This time it was the dispute that the Duke of Shu took the initiative to provoke.

It was the first time he took the initiative to show his edge

And behind this edge, there was a large shaggy hand that held with him on the handle of the spear.

Gaius of the West. Gust and his western army did not participate in the operation of the Duke of Shu to send troops out of Bashu.

Instead, he brought his own troops to the border pass.

As soon as the musket goes off, the border is shaken!

Under the ultra-long range of sniper rifles.

The defenses on the walls of the border pass were directly disintegrated.

The highest-ranking general was shot in the head.

The Zhengyang army had never encountered such a situation, and for a moment the dragons were leaderless, and riots were caused on the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, the generals who were second only to the supreme generals, as well as all the generals who had fallen in rank after him, were also shot in the head in the following time.

The garrison force at the border pass will naturally not be so fragile!

After facing the commander one by one after the process of being solved.

The soldiers at the border still dared to get up and shoot their bows and arrows at the place where the muskets rang out.

Unfortunately, every soldier got up and was greeted by the icy sound of gunfire.

After the gunshots, one man fell!

Under such circumstances, there are still countless border soldiers who fire their bows and arrows.

Unfortunately, the effect is minimal.

More importantly, in the distance, Western warriors in heavy armor were running in the direction of the city walls.

Then the group threw several bundles of smoking packages in the direction of the city walls, shaking with a loud noise that shook the heavens and the earth.

At the gate of the city, the gate wrapped in iron sheets broke and collapsed directly in response!

The soldiers standing behind the walls were knocked to the ground.

Several people were directly shocked to death on the spot, and others were crushed by the bricks of the city wall and the wood of the city gate, and the bones on their bodies were broken, and they let out a painful wail.

The gates were broken, and bundles of packages with fireworks were thrown in.

There were several earth-shattering explosions again!

How could the soldiers at the border have ever encountered such a situation?

One by one, they were scared and fell to the ground.

This border gate city was directly broken!

And then the one Gaius from the West. Gust left the border with his army and entered the steppe before the snow fell!

Boom Boom!

The Fire Prince commanded his most elite musket unit and bombarded a section of the walls of a border city.

And the method of tying the gunpowder together was given to him by several blonde-haired aliens a few days ago.

The three major tribes have had a miserable life in the recent period.

Because of the war with the Red Blood Prince and the battle with the Zhengyang Border Pass.

The battle with the Duke of Qin led to the loss of many of the Qing Zhuang forces of the entire three major tribes.

In addition, it almost didn't catch the harvest season.

This year, the three major tribes gathered and found that their own grain production was much lower than in previous years.

If it weren't for the fact that the strength of the youth has also been reduced.

This part of the income and expenditure has barely reached a kind of balance.

Their days will be even more difficult.

But on the whole, the support of the three tribes has begun to be lost.

There are many small, small tribes that move their families.

Moved into the territory of the Red Blood Prince.

This kind of thing happens from time to time, and the three major tribes have no way to stop it.

Especially during the autumn harvest season, no one wants to keep an eye on these small tribes at all.

Even more so in the hope that these small tribes will quietly move away.

They can take all the goods and food they leave behind that they can't move.

And since a few days ago, those tall blond men had come to the Fire Prince's tribe.

I didn't ask for anything else, but I taught the Fire Prince some ways to use firearms.

At this time, it is already winter, and scattered light snow has begun to fall on the grassland.

The Fire Prince thought that idleness was also idleness, so he came to this border gate city with a newly made firearm.

As a result, I don't know if I try it, and I am scared when I try it.

The Fire Prince never imagined that this newly made firearm would be so powerful!

And the amount of gunpowder required for this newly made firearm, bundled together, was only the amount of gunpowder for twenty muskets.

But the terrifying power it causes is increased by tens or hundreds of times.

And it's not just as simple as one plus one equals two.

It can be two plus two equals four, and four plus four equals eight!

Just add the amount of gunpowder.

It's not a dream to knock down a border pass with one shot!

At this moment, the Fire Prince had the most confident moment in his heart for countless years.

He simply ordered all the newly developed firearms he had left to be smashed into the city walls and gates in front of him.

As a result, it was the same as when Gaius was killed. The same ending as the border gate that Gust blasted open!

The breakthrough was easily accomplished.

Without even thinking about it, the Fire Prince ordered his men to charge.

The steppe people have no resistance when they see a border pass that has been blasted open!

With a scream, he ran towards the hollow gate, stepping over the scorched fragments of the scorched city gate that was still smoking.

A large group of Northern Barbarian warriors rushed in.

It can be said that this border gate ushered in the most dangerous moment in history.

The generals guarding the border even came to the city gate in person, trying to plug the hole.

After two successive waves of counterattacks regardless of life and death, the steppe people were finally repelled.

The Fire Prince is very good at the art of war, after being repulsed for the second time.

The steppe people retreated en masse, and the general thought he had forced the other party back.

But in fact, it was the muzzle of the other party's musket.

Bang bang bang ...

From the muzzles of countless black holes, small red flames erupted!

Red flames shot into the commander's chest with fragments.

A dense burst of sparks erupted from the armor on his chest, followed by a slowly rolling red out.

The red color is dyed, indicating that he has been shot.

The feeling of powerlessness in his body soon consumed him.

He wanted to continue to kill the enemy, and he wanted to continue to kill a few Northern Barbarian Tartars.

But the enemy was too far away from him.

Before he could touch the other person.

He collapsed weakly.

Although I was very unwilling, I was helpless about it.

Of course, the Fire Prince was not able to take this border pass in the end.

When the general fell, his spirit hung over the border city that had been broken open.

All the remaining soldiers are of the same heart, and their combat power is boundless!

This time the Fire Prince brought out a mobile force.

Everyone is equipped with horses, but in this way, the number is destined to be insufficient.

However, five or six thousand soldiers and horses were able to open the city gates, and slaughtered them in all directions, and even lost the city gates for a time.

It has been shown how powerful the new firearms that the Fire Prince possesses.

That's enough for him.

There were 10,000 soldiers defending the border pass, although the generals under his command fell at the gates.

But there are other levels of generals who can take his place in command, layer by layer.

It wasn't until the soldiers finally fell that an army was truly finished, and there was no leader.

This is the institutional advantage of the Zhengyang military.

If it's a northern barbarian.

They tend to be an army led by one person.

For example, the Prince of Fire, who is now the sole commander of the 5,000 people.

Such a situation is determined by their system.

So when the Prince of Fire was unfortunately born.

Or when he fell, like that commander.

This army of the Northern Barbarians will spread their morale.

The news quickly reached the hands of Wu Guogong, who was now stationed at the border pass and had just arrived from the Bashu border.

The border gate was blasted open twice, once from the inside and once from the outside!

This matter was enough to attract his attention.

At the same time, he also had a premonition that a very strong sense of crisis was coming.

Therefore, he sent a letter to the emperor, and did not hesitate to dispatch the southern army headed by Jiang Chong and ordered it to be stationed behind the border pass.

You can always respond to the border at any time to prevent accidents.

And all the cities in the border pass also received orders from Wu Guogong.

All border passes are on standby to guard against the invasion of the Northern Barbarians.

But the two border passes were easily broken, and the soldiers who came back said that it was a thunderbolt from the sky, and a thunderbolt was punished from above.

This kind of rumor slowly spread in the army, if it weren't for the border pass behind it, it was not taken by the Fire Prince.

Maybe this kind of rumor will gradually wear down Wu Guogong's military spirit!

And the border gate that was blasted open was inspected by Wu Guogong himself two days later.

He stood outside the newly renovated city gate, looking at the border gate that had been blasted open.

He then ordered someone to analyze whether the gates of this city were the same as the border pass that had been blasted open before.

The result naturally made his heart heavy.

The grassland people have more powerful firearms, and Zhengyang naturally has such firearms.

That's the Red Cannon!

But the redcoat cannon has a limitation, it can't move!

And it's extremely expensive!

But what I didn't expect was that when the steppe people attacked the border pass, they used an extremely simple way: throwing.

All they recognized were bundles of bamboo, but they were no less powerful than the expensive and intricate red-coated cannons.

This also shows that the steppe people have not only found weapons that can replace the red-coated cannons.

And the power hasn't dropped much.

This is actually a very scary thing.

The steppe people have such weapons, they will be much bolder, and it is the cold winter at this moment.

In the previous series of battles with the Duke of Qin.

The steppe people suffered a big loss.

And judging by the news reported by the spies on the steppe.

In the past two years, the three major tribes of the steppe people have gathered together.

But the recent situation is much worse, due to the rise of the Red Blood Prince, who was able to hold down the three even after the merger of the three tribes.

Second, it is also a very important reason, the fox prince is seriously ill!

His age is already extremely long for a man on the steppe.

This is true even for those masters of martial arts in Zhengyang.

There is no good medical skill in the grasslands.

The status of the fox prince was not possessed when he was young.

Therefore, the original fox prince was as troubled as the grassland people.

It's just that later his cultivation grew rapidly.

He suppressed the injuries on his body with great strength.

And he lived to this age.

It's very rare.

And over the years, the Northern Barbarians have entered Zhengyang many times, and one of their purposes is also to find some elixir from Zhengyang's hands, which can extend the life of the fox prince and alleviate his condition.

However, it is a pity that such a precious medicine could easily fall into the hands of foreigners.

A few years ago, Mi Yusong had already begun to order the strict management of these life-sustaining medicines.

Although there was no information to support it at that time, what was the physical condition of the fox prince.

But Mi Yusong's wisdom, he believes that a person will definitely have a little trouble when he reaches such an age.

At this age, it only takes one cold for ordinary people to be killed.

Although the fox prince's cultivation is very high, after all, his age must still have some influence.

And there is no good healing medicine on the grassland.

Do you want the fox prince to beg for the protection of the god of the steppe like ordinary steppe people?

Do you burn some rotten grass roots and mix them in water to drink?

This is of course impossible.

So from that point on.

Mi Yusong began to plan.

For him, it was nothing more than a handiwork.

But now, it seems that the final effect has finally been shown to be huge a few years later.

The fox prince was so ill that he couldn't even speak most of the time.

The result of this is that now the three major tribes, you have your ideas, I have my ideas.

This is why this time the Fire Prince will go out alone to test Zhengyang.

Something happened to test the power of a firearm in his hand.

When the fox prince heard the news when he was seriously ill, he sat up in shock!

After getting up, the fox prince looked ruddy as if he had returned to the light, but his expression was extremely painful.

He sighed and sighed.

If he had known about it earlier.

Then through this new type of firearm, the threat to Zhengyang will be infinitely magnified!

With such a powerful firearm, it was enough to tear Zhengyang's border pass apart easily.

It won't be like the current Fire Prince, because of the lack of troops, he didn't even take that border pass!

The Fire Prince is going to test the power of his firearms.

But such an action undoubtedly revealed the strong strength of the grassland people to Zhengyang.

Especially people like Wu Guogong and Mi Yusong will definitely order the border to be more strictly guarded after learning such news.

Vigilance will also be raised against such powerful firearms.

Next, it is impossible to take a border city at such a small price.

In addition to sighing, the fox prince sighed.

This is obviously a great opportunity.

But it was wasted by the Fire Prince.

But when this kind of words reached the ears of the Fire Prince, he seemed a little very disdainful.

In his opinion, he has accomplished a feat that he has never accomplished in so many years.

But why do you fox prince say about me?

Why is it pointless to say that I am doing this?

The Fire Prince also thought that his victory was to boost the morale of the army and the courage of the entire grassland people.

As everyone knows, it is indeed like what the fox prince said.

His actions directly led to Wu Guogong's vigilance against these firearms on the grassland.

Next, it is not a simple matter for the steppe people to use these firearms to open the gate of the border gate.

But in fact, both sides have their own concerns.

Wu Guogong's concern was that he did not know whether such firearms on the grassland were obtained by accident or whether they could really be produced in large quantities.

The number of firearms in the steppe is much less than in Zhengyang.

The source of gunpowder has always been the most troublesome thing for the Fire Prince.

In the Northern Barbarian Grassland, there are very few minerals from which the flame is sourced.

They don't have enough gunpowder to do enough of their usual drills.

Their level of firearm use is also far inferior to that of Zhengyang.

And the number of firearms is not as good as Zhengyang.

But now the steppe people have such a powerful and simple firearm.

It can even shake the sturdy walls of the border passes.

This matter must be investigated.

And it just so happened that Liu Xin was near the border pass at this time.

Hearing the news, Liu Xin hurried over non-stop.

learned the whole story from Wu Guogong.

Liu Xin soon had a decision.

That is to go deep into the grassland to find out about this matter.

Because he always felt that this event was related to some event in his memory.

In his memory.

The way that the group of blonde people opened the door of Zhengyang Country was very simple and rude:

In the smoke of gunpowder, a large number of them rushed into the various cities of Zhengyang with things like burning sticks in their hands.

These things in the hands of Westerners are very powerful, very much like muskets, but they are different from Zhengyang's muskets.

But Liu Xin can't say what the specific difference is.

And it was what he saw when his soul returned to heaven.

It's more like a dream.

And now it seems that the smoke of gunpowder and the firearms used by the steppe people now have the same meaning.

Liu Xin must get this matter to the bottom of the matter.

In the past two years, although Zhengyang has been very peaceful.

But this peace lies beneath a certain extreme danger.

Liu Xin has never believed in any immortals.

But since he had those magical powers.

Over the years, his combat power has also reached the realm of top-grade Dacheng.

Even the top ten masters of the Northern Barbarians dare to have the strength to fight.

That's why he made this decision now.

Go deep into the grassland and find out the suspicions of all this!

He brought with him the most elite group of brocade guards around him.

Of course, Guo Yong's son is now in the imperial capital to handle some paperwork and other work for him, and he is not here.

And over the years, he has also promoted a lot of good seedlings from Jinyiwei.

Among them, the fastest growing strength has broken through the realm of Dacheng.

This group of people was personally brought to the border by him, and after going deep into the Beiban grassland, Liu Xin's logistics support relied on these people.

Of course, these people are not the main force.

He is the only one who is the main force at the moment.

However, at the border pass, he also met the fifth uncle and met Xiong Er.

And this time the operation was carried out by him and the fifth uncle.

At this time, the fifth uncle also had some prestige on the grassland.

Just like his father back then, there was a title of Confucian general in the North.

When the steppe people heard this name, their hearts began to be timid.

And today's fifth uncle, although his reputation is not as great as his father's.

But his name has also evoked the fear that the prairie people have hidden deep in.

The five uncles walked together and supported each other. Liu Xin is naturally the most assured.

The two led the team deep into the grassland.

Along the way, Liu Xin will leave the Jinyi Guard's people stationed in place.

And these people have big packages on their bodies.

There's food and water in it. And some things for heating.

It can be said that the dangers that can be encountered in the grassland have a solution in such a package.

The fifth uncle also ridiculed Liu Xin, which left a route for himself to escape.

Liu Xin nodded solemnly and said that this was indeed the escape route he left for himself.

For the next month, Liu Xin and Fifth Uncle went deep into the Beiban grassland.

After a life-and-death investigation, the source of these firearms on the grassland was clear.

Liu Xin finally saw the Westerner again and captured him alive.

It was a blonde-haired Westerner.

The name is long. It's also very mouthful.

Liu Xin directly called him the Golden Retriever No. 1.

Although this person is a Westerner, he is proficient in the language and culture of Zhengyang.

He even said that he was a messenger for Westerners.

The two armies are at war, and they do not come to the enemy.

This is simply a big joke in the world for Liu Xin!

Liu Xin beat the person half to death and then took the person away.

If it weren't for bringing this person, they wouldn't have encountered a life-and-death crisis.

Among the top ten masters of the Northern Barbarians, the male lion Azhislan and the fierce tiger Sukhbaru followed closely behind Liu Xin and the fifth uncle, and they chased for hundreds of miles.

All the way from the hinterland of the grassland to the border pass, and still did not give up.

And under such circumstances, Liu Xinshi showed his strength that shocked the fifth uncle.

Top-grade Dacheng realm!

The fifth uncle was surprised, but also lamented that the brothers and sisters had grown up too fast.

Liu Xin clearly knows why.

The world is about to usher in a sea change.

Under this sea change.

Heroes emerge from troubled times.
