    In the vast Khorasan Desert, Anping Village looks like an inconspicuous dirt bag.  There are sparse and uneven battlements on the rammed wall. There are damaged military flags on the battlements, but the whistle posts on the battlements are empty.  Several war horses galloped closer, but there was no response from the top of the city, not even a single scout who asked where they were.  There were bursts of noise inside the village, but no one knew what was going on.  Seeing this situation, Zhao Xingde's face could not help but darken slightly. Wang Heng and Liu Hua looked at each other, feeling their faces getting hot.  When did Daxia's army become so desolate?  "These bastards need to be beaten with military sticks less." Wang Heng said angrily, raised his riding whip and shouted loudly at the gate of the village, "Come here, the commander of this capital is here, why don't you open the city gate quickly!" Answer him  There was silence, and the northwest wind whistled in the sky, as if mocking the mortals on the ground.  The walls of Anping Village seemed empty, and most of the sentries on duty had deserted. However, there were more than 300 gunmen squatting densely behind the battlements.  The regiment training uniforms they wore were already worn out. They held their breaths and held their filled guns tightly. In front of them, squatted a few nervous officers.  "Don't make any noise!" Another person shouted in a low voice: "Those who want to go back to the river, get ready. As soon as the master gives the order, you will fire the gun together." The fire gunman nearby nodded involuntarily under his gaze.  A little further behind the battlements, several gunmen were crowded together more closely than others. This was a small team, and they were elites specially transferred from Guanzhong.  Several musketeers put their heads together and muttered. The officers didn't take too much control when they saw it. After all, we still need these scum to fight the war.  "This official is so confused that he wants to die. If he doesn't run away quickly, he is seeking death." Bao Qizhang said in a low voice, "What a stupid head." "That's right," Guo Hong cursed, "Damn it.  , I haven¡¯t fired the killing warning yet.¡± ¡°Keep your voice down,¡± Fu Qing, the team leader, shouted, ¡°I haven¡¯t fired the killing warning yet, so don¡¯t do it this time.¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± Guo Hong replied absentmindedly.  But there was a hint of excitement.  Before joining the army training, he just wanted to have enough to eat, but as the saying goes, armed with a sharp knife, a murderous intention arises, shooting blunderbuss, stabbing spears, and marching. After practicing for so many days, a restless factor quietly creeps into Guo Hong and others.  The seeds of military training are growing in the hearts of a few well-trained regiments.  The military government dispatched elite Western aid to the regiment training camp in Luoyang. Fu Qing and Bao Qizhang wanted to save travel expenses and arrive at the legendary Paradise River as soon as possible to receive the land grant, but Guo Hong had other plans in mind.  However, after the regiment training camp arrived in the river, it was almost immediately broken up by the military government and used for mixing sand.  The officers who originally valued Guo Hong were transferred to unknown places.  This group of people was more like round stones on the Gobi desert, blown by the evil wind to this ghost place. From then on, they stayed in this maggot-infested and moldy Anping Village.  .  Guo Hong was never disappointed, so when a spy from King Kang of Hezhong contacted secretly to start an incident, Guo Hong was the first to respond.  The official there promised him that as long as the uprising succeeded, he would at least become a centurion.  However, before that, he still stayed with Fu Qing's team. Fortunately, he convinced Fu Qing, Bao Qizhang and others that after defecting, everyone could return to the river as soon as possible.  The partners of this team, Fu Qing, Guo Hong, Bao Qizhang, and Gou San'er, as elite firebenders from Guanzhong, set up an ambush on the stronghold wall. In Guo Hong's eyes, this was a good opportunity to become a nobleman through meritorious service.  .  "Prepare to fire the gun -" the officer ordered in a low voice, "One -, two -" Guo Hong took out the fire stick and carefully blew out the sparks. He felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.  "Don't be careless and raise the gun's muzzle." Fu Qing said in a low voice. He didn't understand what this brother was thinking, but as long as he was the eldest brother among the four, he would not let it go.  Although General Wang doesn't think highly of the Guandong people and curses them all the time, he still treats them as human beings. The camp has never deducted military pay. Although money and food are tight now, it has nothing to do with General Wang. If he hadn't wanted to return as soon as possible,  In Hezhong, Fu Qing would not allow Guo Hong to join.  Fortunately, Guo Hong nodded and did not answer.  Time seemed to have frozen, and the west wind was blowing fiercely from the sky above Anping Village.  Under the city, several people and horses were getting closer and closer, only a few steps away from the village wall.  "Damn, these bastards, I" Wang Heng cursed, and was about to shout loudly to open the village door again, when his face suddenly froze, and his eyes were full of disbelief.  Wow, almost in an instant, a row of black holes protruded from the crenellations of the village wall. The faces of the gunmen were pale. Wang Heng could guess that the leads on the buttocks of the fireguns were sizzling without even looking.  Burning.  "Damn, there's an ambush!" A thought flashed through Wang Heng's mind, and he instinctively shouted at the top of his lungs, "Master Zhao, leave quickly!" Then his vision went dark.  ¡°Bang-¡± ¡°Bang-bang-¡± ¡°Bang-bang-bang-bang¡±"¡ª¡ª" Almost at the same moment as Wang Heng's shout, hundreds of fire cannons that had been ambushed on the wall of the village exploded like exploding beans. The guns whizzed down like wind and rain, and outside the wall, horses on horseback  Everyone on board almost fell down in response. The war horse was hit by the musket and fell down with a cry, and the ground was dripping with blood. "It's over.  "On the city wall, Guo Hong felt a flash of disappointment. In any case, he followed Boss Fu's instructions and raised the gun's mouth slightly. However, under the rain of bullets from hundreds of fire guns, several riders and horses were killed.  He couldn't tell who was responsible for it. Guo Hong put away the gun and did not reload the ammunition in despair. However, he looked down from the wall of the village to the river.  The officer's reaction was different from that of the musketeers. Although it was only a moment later, he saw clearly that the knights in the city had already hid in their stirrups and hid in the horses' bellies before the sound of the muskets. Commander Wang Hengdu was still pulled down.  , although he fell off his horse, he still managed to survive the hail of bullets. If the commander of the capital wanted to escape, then he should let the tiger go back to the mountain. "If they were allowed to escape, open the city gate!  "The officer at the top of the city shouted an order, "Open the city gate, life or death!  " Two hundred gunmen have been ambushed inside the village gate. Unlike the gunmen at the top of the city, these gunmen were all armed with spears. As the gate creaked open, they all rushed out. Zhao Xingde and other talents  Wang Heng had just emerged from under the horse's corpse, with one foot still in a stirrup. "Who dares to come up!"  "Wang Heng's face was covered with blood, as if someone had slashed him with a knife. His eyes were red, and he even forgot to pull out the knife. He opened his hands to stop everyone, turned around and shouted loudly, "Master Zhao, leave quickly!  " At this time, the gunmen pouring out of the village were already surrounding them with dazzling spears. " Mr. Zhao, leave quickly!  "Wang Heng's shout made the gunmen in front of him stunned, and they all turned their attention to the handsome officer behind Wang Heng. In the minds of all the gunmen, they all commanded Wang Heng to lead an army alone.  He is the largest general, so as long as Wang Heng is killed, he will hand in the certificate of surrender and start a rebellion. Although the gunmen are incited to cause chaos, Wang Heng still has some prestige in the regiment training camp. Yesterday, he was still theirs.  Shangguan, he was going to be cut into pieces with chaos blades today, and no one wanted to be the first to do it, so the pace inevitably slowed down. The hundreds of gunmen who had just laid out guns on the wall of the village also rushed out.  , General Wang, who is extremely valuable in the eyes of everyone, not only did not run away, but also stood in front of another person. How powerful is this person? There are many bright-minded people among the gunmen. Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel suspicious: "  Who is this Mr. Zhao?  "The rebels didn't even care about killing people for a while. They all looked behind Wang Heng, who did they see? "Why are you still standing there?  The officer behind saw this and shouted loudly, "Whoever it is? Catch him quickly, no matter life or death!" Under his urging, the hesitant gunman took a few steps forward, and the bright gun was about to hit Wang Heng's head.  However, he was pushed away by someone, and a tall and thin officer stood in front of Wang Heng. His eyes were calm, looking at the rebels rushing forward, and asked in a deep voice: "The one with the stabbing gun?"  "When the time comes, do you have a spare medicine pack with you?" This is a command in the training manual. The gun must have a spare medicine pack ready before launching the gun.  In this case, if you need to line up the blunderbuss to meet the enemy after loading the spear, you can immediately load the ammunition and fire the blunderbuss.  After eating and drinking, several rebels in front stopped in their tracks. Someone couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch his waist, and almost replied loudly: "Bring it with you." Intimidated by his momentum, the gunmen in the front row stood still.  They stopped walking, some looked nervous, and some looked embarrassed. They did not look like vicious rebels, but like people who had been caught on the spot for violating military discipline.  The rebels at the back didn't know what was going on, so they began to make loud noises again. They pushed forward and surrounded Zhao Xingde and others from both sides.  , "Protect your lord, retreat first!" Wang Heng shouted with sweat on his forehead due to anxiety, but at this time there was no way to retreat.  "No need." Zhao Xingde calmed down surrounded by the accompanying staff officers. He just looked coldly at the fire gunmen who came forward and reprimanded in a deep voice, "The battlefield of the fire gun camp is full of formations. Thousands of people are advancing and retreating like one person.  "A brave man cannot advance alone, and a timid man cannot retreat alone. Have you forgotten all the training?" He has been in charge of the army for a long time, and he is not angry and self-confident.  In awe, someone else shouted: "His grandma, who do you think you are?" Someone was so bold that he raised his blunderbuss and shouted loudly: "He's rebelling, just kill him!"  Heng became anxious, stretched out his hands, and shouted loudly: "This is General Zhao Xingde, Marquis of Baoyi. If you dare to hurt him, you will be punished with death. The world is so big that there is no place for it!" "What? Zhao Baoyi?"  The fire gun player was stunned for a moment. Zhao Xingde's name was like thunder even to ordinary fire gun players.  For those who were born as workers and apprentices in Guandong, some people don't know who Chen Xuan is, but there is absolutely no one who doesn't know who Zhao Xingde is?  ¡°?That's right, it's Zhao Baoyi!  " Fu Qing squeezed to the front and saw Zhao Baoyi at a glance. He had been reviewed by Zhao Baoyi in Luoyang. How could he forget Zhao Xingde's appearance.
