Chapter 316



Once, some spoiled sons of Tangut nobles, dissatisfied with the situation, led a group of private soldiers to cause trouble in the north of the city, where they encountered the firearms battalion.

That spoiled nobleman was executed on the spot by Chen Zhaojun. Two-thirds of his private army were beaten to death in the street, and the remaining third all knelt down and begged for mercy.
