The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Wang Long's eyes widened, but Shuangxi held his shoulders.

He didn't see how hard he was, but he forced Wang Long to the spot.

Shuangxi smiled at He Wu's subordinates: "If you want it, you can. The rule in my hometown is that if you want something, you must be able to beat it. If you can beat it, give it to me."

He Wu's men showed their arms and rolled up their sleeves: "Okay, okay, okay, I got Coach He... no, it's Captain He's true successor, so I'm here to ask for advice."

However, Wang Long's face suddenly darkened, and he pointed at He Wu's men and said angrily: "What the hell, captain, from now on I will call everyone, detachment captain. Can anyone be called captain?"

In Lugang Town, there is only one captain, and that is Captain Zhao - Zhao Chuanxin!

Even if a commander appears in Lugang Town in the future, the people may only recognize Captain Zhao and nothing else will work.

Wang Long admired Zhao Chuanxin to the core, and even got angry when he heard others call him captain.

He didn't know that there were insurance teams in many places outside the customs, and they were all called captains. Zhang Zuol was once the captain of the insurance team.

He Wu pointed at Wang Long: "Come on, come on, I'll see the real seal under my hand."

Wang Long took off his backpack, stood up, and began to twist his neck, shrug, move his shoulder joints and wrists, and then hooked his hand at He Wu's men.

Shuangxi said: "That's it."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Wu's subordinates, who had no moral ethics, took advantage of the situation and launched an attack, grabbing the center line and charging forward with the hammer.

According to what he thought, Wang Long would definitely give in and defend.

However, Wang Long bent his elbow forward instead, bent his left arm vertically, bent his right arm horizontally, and bent his body with both elbows to resist.

This is called arm-hand blocking, and the fighting technique used in later generations is called the Casey Fighting Technique.

A punch hit Wang Long's thick forearm. Wang Long didn't even blink, but He Wu's subordinate felt pain in his fist.

Let me blanch... can a human arm be so hard?

He also practices martial arts every day, but...hehe.

The fighting of the entire insurance team was taught by Zhao Zhongyi.

At this time, the insurance team has broken away from stances and so on, and has specialized strength and resistance training as well as a cold weapon fighting system.

But there was no deliberate muscle-building program. Basically, it was no different from the scientific and systematic fighting training of later generations. It's just that the fighting method is different, hitting the vital points, specially prepared to kill and cripple them, including fists, feet, elbows and knees, whatever is at hand.

Zhao Zhongyi's original boxing skills have changed beyond recognition, and there are not even many fixed moves left.

Maybe his master came and saw it, but he didn't recognize what kind of punch it was.

Wang Long leaned directly forward, his speed was so fast that He Wu's men couldn't even close the distance in time.

Right hook hits the abdomen hard.

He Wu's men felt like they were struck by lightning. It was so painful. Could a fist be so painful?

He hurriedly punched his face with his forehand, trying to fight back, but the tortoise's punch was weak under the pain.

Wang Long turned sideways and blocked with his arms, then connected with the elbow to hit the hammer.

The bodies of He Wu's men were knocked backwards. After falling to the ground, they could not catch their breath and never got up again.

At this time, other people also heard the noise here and came around to check.

Fortunately, there were few people and everyone was awake, otherwise a fight in the middle of the night would easily cause a roar in the camp.

He Wu's men were stunned, their heads were buzzing and their bodies were in severe pain. Everything happened in a flash of lightning, and he was basically powerless to resist.

He was so sure that even if He Wu came on stage in person, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand two or three blows from this kid, right?

Decades of skill have been wasted. I don't know if this kid started practicing martial arts after his mother was born.

If he knew that Wang Long hadn't practiced for two years, he would probably find a piece of tofu and kill him.

Wang Long didn't even take a breath and spat on the ground: "Is this what you call true inheritance?"

He Wu also came, happened to hear these words, and immediately became angry: "What did you say? There is trouble at this time, someone, get it for me!"

Wang Long was not afraid and flicked his fingers hanging by his side.

Shuangxi's eyelids twitched, and he knew that this was a sign that he was about to draw his gun quickly.

Among the shooting competitions in Lugang Town, there is rapid shooting.

Being fast, stable and accurate has always been the basic requirement of every member of the Lugang Town Insurance Team.

He stood up suddenly and wanted to talk and argue. If it didn't work, then don't rebel against this fucking ragtag group. I will rebel against you first.

At this moment, Huang Mingtang arrived: "How can we be so noisy? We have a big event in front of us, how can we start a fire in the backyard?"

He Wu pointed at Shuangxi and the two: "They are making trouble."

The men were lying on the ground: "Yes, they beat people."

Huang Mingtang frowned: "Okay, let's talk about these things later."

He Wu was naturally unconvinced and was clearly on the sidelines.

But Huang Mingtang said: "I have already contacted the Qing army's internal intelligence, let's set off now."

At this time, He Wu did not dare to continue talking.

He glared at Shuangxi and the two of them: We'll see.

Shuangxi doesn't bother to argue, so what if I hit you?

Huang Mingtang said to Shuangxi: "Mr. Zhang, you two will be incorporated into the pistol squad, and I will have someone give you the shell gun, okay?"

The tone was not respectful, but it was asking for their opinion.

Obviously, Huang Mingtang could not and did not dare to underestimate the two of them.

Shuangxi nodded and shook his head: "It's okay to form a pistol squad, but there is no need to fire guns. We bring our own weapons."

He Wu, who hadn't gone far, widened his eyes.

Why?

Why are you so polite to these two people?

They are too crazy and bring their own weapons?

Is this a self-service battlefield?

Huang Mingtang was not surprised at all: "Yes! Let's set off now and solve the problem quickly. If there are difficulties, we will need your help."

He couldn't identify the two.

Lugang Town will never admit that they participated in this rebellion.

The team's goal is the third fort on the top of Youfu Mountain.

There should be 67 teams of Qing troops throughout Guangxi.

Divided into four routes: front, middle, left and right.

Youfu Mountain belongs to the front road, and the front road is the Sino-Vietnamese Border Patrol Army.

There are 20 teams on the entire front line, each with 400 patrol troops, theoretically 8,000 people.

The Sino-Vietnamese border is more than 1,800 miles long and has many mountains and rivers. It would be difficult to enforce regulations everywhere.

Theoretically, there are 800 people in Zhennanguan.

The number of Qing soldiers assigned to Youfu Mountain should be quite large.

The number of troops led by Huang Mingtang was over a hundred.

Therefore, he did not tell everyone the number of defenders at all, for fear of damaging the morale of the army.

But when they reached the back of Youfu Mountain, Shuangxi and Wang Long discovered that there were several thick and long ropes hanging down from the mountain.

This is obviously an internal response within the Qing army.

As the vanguard, the Pistol Squad should be the first to climb.

Wang Long glanced at Shuangxi, who said: "Don't worry, we are the queen."

He Wu ordered: "You guys go up on the rope, don't move rashly, and wait for the troops behind to coordinate their actions. Remember to be alert when you go up. If there is any trouble, fire a warning shot immediately."

He was also worried about being left waiting.

These days, it is said that it is an internal response, but there is a risk of betrayal at any time.

It’s hard to say who is whose Infernal Affairs.

Pistol Squad promised.

Wang Long is in front, Shuangxi is behind, and the two of them are holding the rope from behind and climbing.

He Wu frowned and looked at it.

The mountain walls are steep, and for those who are clumsy, their feet will occasionally slip.

Those with poor physical strength will be out of breath after a short distance.

Everyone was sweating profusely.

Only Wang Long and Shuangxi climbed very rhythmically.

Every time you use your arms to help, your feet are steady and you move up a step. There is a pause in the middle. This pause can not only take a rest, but also accumulate strength for the next time.

Just like all physical work, without a sense of rhythm, people will get tired easily.

Therefore, at first, others climbed hard with all their strength, seemingly explosive, but soon after they were exhausted, they had to pant and pause for a long rest.

So after a while, Wang Long and Shuangxi, who were originally at the end, surpassed them.

The other members of the pistol squad looked up and looked at each other in confusion.

By the time they reached two-thirds of the way up and started to rest, Wang Long and Shuangxi had already climbed to the top... Others climbed slower as they went back, while the two of them climbed to the top at a constant speed.

At this time, the sky was about to get brighter, and Huang Mingtang was anxious.

They traveled in the dark in order to make a surprise attack before dawn. This is also the time when people are most sleepy and sleep deeply.

But once the sky gets brighter and everyone wakes up, it will be difficult to make a sneak attack.

He raised his head and saw Wang Long and Shuangxi moving swiftly and steadily, and couldn't help but praise: "They are really elite!"

Although he didn't mention them by name, He Wu understood that Huang Mingtang was praising those two people, and he suddenly felt inexplicably sullen: "Humph, if you are inferior to someone above, you will definitely not lag behind others."

Huang Mingtang smiled at him: "That's natural. The detachment leader has been practicing martial arts for many years. He can walk over walls and walls as if he were walking on flat ground."

He Wu didn't feel any comfort in his heart, but instead felt even more sad.

It was his turn, and he climbed up as if to prove that he could do it. As a result, his arms were sore and swollen after a while, and he felt like he couldn't hold the rope without resting.

However, when Shuangxi and He Wu reached the top, they looked at the white fish belly in the east and saw the majestic and condescending cliffs on all sides.

There is only one trail on the back of the mountain, and there are many broken streams and dangerous cliffs.

Shuangxi couldn't help but sigh: "The mountains outside Guan Guan are majestic and majestic, but the mountains in the south are strange and strange. There is also miasma in the winter morning. Today is an eye-opener for me."

Wang Long pointed to the Zhenbei Fort in the distance and said, "Brother Shuangxi, the sun is coming out soon. How about we go and deal with the outlying sentries first to clear the way for the troops behind us."

Shuangxi looked towards the mountain wall and found that those people were still resting. He frowned and said, "Okay, these bears are nothing."

The two of them had just climbed to the top of the mountain and were still able to jog with their bags on their backs. In a blink of an eye, they got into the fairyland-like clouds and mist.

Wait for the others to come up and take a look: "Hey, why are those two Yankees missing?"

"It's broken. Could there be an ambush?"

The pistol squad became nervous and wandered around. The pioneers used their sabers to chop down the thorn bushes everywhere. Not even a mouse shadow was found, but a few early birds were frightened away.

A false alarm.

But now that the two of them have disappeared, where will they go?

When He Wu, Huang Mingtang and others also climbed up, everyone reported the situation.

Li Youqing stamped his feet: "What nonsense? These two people are acting wantonly and don't obey orders?"

He is the chieftain of Pingxiang and can be regarded as a member of the privileged class of the Qing Dynasty.

But since the Qing Dynasty changed the status quo to local rule, the chieftain's right to speak has become much smaller.

He was persuaded by Sun Gongwu and actively participated in the rebellion.

I don’t know what Sun Gongwu promised him.

Huang Mingtang pressed his hands and said: "Be patient and don't be impatient. Mr. Sun has specifically asked these two to do things expediently. As I expected, they must be the vanguard and went to the Zhenbei Fort to inquire about the situation."

"Dexin, tell the truth, where are these two people coming from?" Li Youqing asked seriously.

The name of Huang Mingtang in Dexin period.

He Wu also stretched his neck and raised his ears.

Huang Mingtang shook his head: "I really can't tell. Mr. Sun has made every effort to explain that the identities of these two people must not be revealed."

Li Youqing was very dissatisfied: "We will talk in private."

Huang Mingtang still shook his head: "Okay, it's late, we can't rest, let's set off now."

Shuangxi and Wang Long in front marched quickly and arrived at the Zhenbei Fort in one go.

Theoretically, there are 800 Qing soldiers in the entire Zhennanguan Pass.

But the Qing Dynasty inherited the legacy of the Ming Dynasty - empty wages.

800 amount, the actual amount is less than 600.

The entire Youfu Mountain Fort only has a maximum of 200 people. The Zhenbei Fort has the highest terrain and the smallest number of people, only about 50 people.

There are also sentries on the periphery, but since Su Yuanchun stepped down, these Qing soldiers who were sympathetic to Su Yuanchun began to be passive and slack in their work. They had neglected training for a long time and had long since abandoned their skills. They just slept soundly at night and did not get up to three poles in the morning. Without waking up.

Who is Su Yuanchun?

In the Sino-French War in 1885, the Qing government lost Vietnam.

Zhennanguan became an important pass to resist French colonial forces.

Su Yuanchun, a famous general from Guangxi, began to operate Zhennanguan and built more than 160 forts on the Sino-Vietnamese border defense line to strengthen the defense capabilities of 109 passes and 66 checkpoints.

In a short period of time, Zhennanguan was built into an important southwest barrier.

Later, the Qing government imprisoned Su Yuanchun for questioning in the name of "causing troops to harm the people and causing shortages."

So the military morale was immediately shaken.

Su Yuanchun has been running Zhennanguan for eighteen years, but now he has become extremely lax.

Shuangxi and Wang Long first loaded all their guns, then took out their bayonets, held them in their hands, and touched them quietly.

When Wang Long approached the sentry, just as he was about to take action, he saw the sentry suddenly opened his eyes...
