Chapter 56: Times Have Changed
Wu Sangui hurriedly asked people to dispatch troops.
Xu Xuan is the core figure of Changguo, without the certification of the Heavenly Master, there will be no recognition of the majority of believers, the divine right of the monarch will not be carried out, and Xu Yong's usurpation will not be so smooth.
As long as Xu Xuan is taken, it is equivalent to holding the lifeblood of Changguo, and in this way, Xu Yong will have to negotiate terms with himself obediently.
Three thousand Wu troops were dispatched.
Due to the tight schedule, it took too long to dispatch the army, and it would be bad if they ran to Xiangyang, or if the Xiangyang army came to pick them up.
So first mobilize those who can be mobilized, and then take down these people first.
These 3,000 soldiers and horses were all elite, each wearing leather armor, and the bow and horse were skillful, and they were easy to capture against 800 people.
Outside the city, soldiers and horses gathered, and flags were like forests.
Wu Sangui wore a white armor and white helmet that symbolized the leader, and the top of the helmet was inserted with a conspicuous cupola red tassel.
"Daddy!" The heroic young general dismounted and saluted, this is his son-in-law Wu Yingqi.
"Well, let's go."
The army was dispatched, and not far away, there was another sound of horses' hooves.
I saw a group of dark-skinned cavalrymen with wild eyes stopping in front of everyone.
The cavalry retreated to the sides, and a fat man with a fat body and a beard rode out slowly, his eyes full of contempt.
"Where is King Pingxi going?"
There are inner ghosts!
This was Wu Sangui's first thought, but thinking about it, such a large-scale dispatch of troops could not hide from everyone at all.
"It turned out to be Prince Yu, and the White Emperor taught Xu Xuan that the demon thief was near here, and he just wanted to arrest this person."
"Why don't you go together?" Duoduo laughed.
"Okay, I'm tired of the prince."
In this way, 1,000 barbarian cavalry and 3,000 Han cavalry set out, following the clues found by the scouts along the way, to their destination.
At the same time, Shigang Village.
This area was originally a prosperous village, but because of the war, all the villagers moved to the south, so it became an empty city.
A number of high-rise buildings live in slightly intact houses.
Oil lamps are lit to dispel the damp and rotten smell in the air.
Xu Xuan flipped through a booklet full of patterns, and opposite him was Xie Miao, who was wearing men's clothes and full of heroism, who was also the head of Yunmeng Hospital, and almost all the high-level leaders of the White Lotus Sect had turned into medical talents.
This is a book that chronicles the secrets of various surgeries.
"We found bacteria, researched the method of sterilization, and retrained Wen Po through the White Emperor Sect, and the current infant mortality rate has dropped to about one-fifth, and the Wuchang area of Zhongjing is one-eighth, mainly because the promotion progress is not enough, otherwise it can be lower." Xie Miao reported one achievement after another.
Li Jianxing stood at the window holding his sword on guard, and couldn't help but sigh when he heard the words, and said, "It's really a great merit." ”
"That's right, see the Taoist friends, you let other Taoist priests publicize more, let more rich people participate, and do this kind of thing as a successful virtue." Xu Xuan closed the book, "For example, raising the price of incense, or conducting an auction of the head pillar incense, and the proceeds of the auction will be donated to medical causes, etc." ”
"Good idea, go back and let someone deal with it." Li Jianxing's eyes lit up.
Of course, this kind of thing will not be able to be done in the head, and it is necessary to cooperate with the government to formulate some laws and regulations to supervise it, so as to prevent some people from taking advantage of the opportunity to accumulate wealth.
A few people chatted without a word, up to astronomy, down to Sheji, just to pass the time.
Gradually, Xu Xuan's thoughts drifted to the realm of the mirror.
In the realm of the mirror, Hong Yi endured for five or six years, and used the Huang Ting's inner scene magic to cultivate three hundred dead soldiers.
At the same time, there are also two hundred zombies, who are now sharpening their knives, ready to take revenge at the right time.
"Xuanzhen Sect Master has arrived!"
Before Xu Xuan could finish watching it, someone came in to report.
"Bring him in."
Li Changsheng brought Xuan Zhen in.
When Xuan Zhen saw Xu Xuan, his first impression was that he was young.
Very young, Xu Tianshi should be about forty 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 pretend to be Xu Xuan, no young man had this kind of temperament and the eyes that had experienced vicissitudes.
Just as Zhang Duxiao saw Xu Xuan for the first time, Xuan Zhen, as the leader of the Northland Great Sect, also saw Xu Xuan's immortal appearance.
"Xuanzhen Daoyou, thank you for your hard work." Xu Xuan stood up to welcome.
"I've seen Xu Tianshi, I should have come here earlier, but I don't know Taishan because I have eyes below." Xuan Zhen didn't know what Xu Xuan's ability was, but it didn't seem to be simple.
"You guys are safe here, and after solving the enemy in a while, we will go back to Xiangyang together."
"Why don't you leave immediately?"
"No, just deal with some people." Xu Xuan picked up the gun on the table and gently wiped the oil on it with a cloth.
The iron spear has not yet seen blood, and is waiting to try its edge.
When everyone went out, Li Jianxing arranged for each person to issue a gun.
"The guns are too troublesome, just give me a knife." Hyun Jin shook his head.
Li Jianxing aimed at the wall not far away and shot it backhanded, then took out a paper bucket the size of a little thumb, poured the ammunition into the barrel, pushed it with a pole, and continued to pull the trigger, the flint hit the fire door, the gunpowder exploded, and the projectile flew out.
Five rounds were fired in one minute, and at the same time, Li Jianxing demonstrated how to use the bayonet.
"Times have changed, guns are king, take it."
Xuan Zhen was dumbfounded, in this way, what is the point of practicing martial arts? I'm afraid that in the future, warriors will not be able to go to the battlefield, and can only do intelligence work such as espionage.
Eight hundred men guarded the entrance to the village, and separated the surroundings with stakes, stones, and ravines.
Thundered......
Soon, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and more and more cavalry appeared, and from the perspective of everyone, these cavalry seemed to be boundless.
The two sides coincidentally raised their banners and prepared for battle, the firearms of the Shenji Battalion were loaded, and the 800 men were divided into three columns, the front, the middle and the rear, but they were not in a hurry to shoot, but waited for the order of the commander.
"Whose troops are this?" Xu Xuan asked left and right.
Scout Captain Liu Yuan said: "Huitian Master, the front is Wu Sangui and Duoduo's troops. ”
"Wu Sangui, Duoduo...... Tsk......"
The two heavyweight executioners have allowed themselves to meet today.
It's okay, I haven't moved for many years, except for Haoge, I haven't killed a barbarian with status since then, and it's just time to test the water.
In the direction of the enemy, Wu Sangui and the others also saw the people queuing up at the entrance of the village, and the sect leader of Zhongnan Mountain, who had taken refuge in the barbarians, rode a horse with big braids and accompanied them.
"What's that?"
Wu Sangui was a little disdainful in his heart, the Chang army he faced was not like this, it was not Xu Xuan's blind command, this kind of army formation was like tissue paper, and the cavalry broke through as soon as they rushed.
Do they think that the bird guns in their hands can stop the cavalry charge?
The range of most of the bird guns is not as good as the strong bows of the Eight Banners cavalry, and the rate of fire is slow, so there is almost no chance of a second shot.
"Kill!!"
Again.
In the middle army, Duoduo drew his sword and pointed at the stone hill, and the cavalry charge began.
Duoduo showed a bloody and cruel smile: "Demon thief Xu Xuan, I must see your wagging tail and begging for mercy today." ”
The iron hooves of the Jin soldiers were unstoppable, trampling the Han family under their feet, casting his throne with human heads, and the enemies in front of him were nothing but his military exploits.
In Shigang Village, Xu Xuan's face did not change color.
The golden man iron horse is indeed strong, but it is a pity that he met himself against the sky.
The distance is getting closer, and the golden cavalry that charges ahead is ready to perform the stunt of mounted archery.
One hundred and fifty meters, the Shenji Battalion took the lead.
Boom Boom!
Gunsmoke rose everywhere, and iron sand shot out in a volley.
