The moment Li Zhen raised his hand, he looked at Lu Shaochuan who was standing beside him, casting a questioning look.
Lu Shaochuan's eyes made contact with Li Zhen and he immediately nodded in response. Suddenly, a smile appeared on Li Zhen's face, he looked back and laughed loudly: "Yang Xiuqing, I gave you the chance to charge, but you didn't dare to come. You are really a courageless person." Rat, since you are cowardly, I will strike first. I am going to attack, are you ready?"
Yang Xiuqing held her head high and said coldly: "Let me see what kind of waves you can make."
From the bottom of her heart, Yang Xiuqing did not want to take the initiative to attack.
He led his soldiers to chase him all night, but Li Zhen led his soldiers to wait in the camp. He was obviously well prepared. Especially Yang Xiuqing thought that Li Zhen was as cunning as a fox. Sitting arrogantly, he must be hiding some tricks, so he was a little afraid. Yang Xiuqing His plan was to stop quietly and let Li Zhen toss him around, and then Yang Xiuqing would make another ruthless move to capture Li Zhen in one fell swoop.
Yang Xiuqing was not in a hurry, but Hong Xuanjiao stood aside and was worried. She really wanted to order the soldiers in the army to attack, but she knew that if Yang Xiuqing didn't give the order, it would be useless if she gave the order.
Li Zhen looked at Lu Shaochuan and nodded slightly.
Lu Shaochuan understood, suddenly raised the gun in his hand, and shouted: "Shield formation."
The powerful roar suddenly resounded through the night sky, echoing continuously.
In an instant, two hundred soldiers rushed out and stood in front of Li Zhen.
The two hundred soldiers held shields in their hands. After rushing to the edge of the camp, they quickly squatted down and held up the shields. Each shield was about 1.6 meters high and nearly 1 meter wide. The shields stood on the ground like a city wall. , cut off the road, and under the firelight, the city wall composed of shields was extremely dazzling, blocking the line of sight, and Yang Xiuqing could not see Li Zhen's situation.
Lu Shaochuan shouted again: "The soldiers of the first battalion are following closely behind, getting ready to shoot."
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers of the first battalion rushed forward.
The sound of orderly footsteps came out. A battalion of soldiers stood behind the shield wall, raising their guns on the shields and pointing them at the Taiping Army opposite. When Yang Xiuqing saw it, he laughed and shouted disdainfully: "Li Zhen, Li Zhen, are you at your wits end? You actually asked the soldiers to use shields to resist bullets. Even though the shields are made of iron, with this king's order, your so-called shield formation will turn into a puddle of mud."
Although Li Zhen could not be seen, Yang Xiuqing yelled again. Given the incompatible relationship between Yang Xiuqing and Li Zhen, Yang Xiuqing would never remind Li Zhen, and would even hope that Li Zhen would make the wrong move.
Because Yang Xiuqing wanted to test it, he gave a reminder.
Li Zhen glanced at the prepared soldiers, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and shouted: "Shoot and shoot."
"boom."
Almost at the same time, a gunshot rang out.
"Bang, bang,,."
Immediately, a series of gunshots came, extremely dense, like rain hitting plantains, chaotic noises, one after another, sounded in the night sky, the sounds were messy but with a fierce momentum, the bullets flew out, and a In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the Taiping soldiers.
"Puff, puff,."
Bullets shot into the bodies of Taiping soldiers, splattering countless blood.
Soldiers fell down one after another, like scarecrows.
Yang Xiuqing was confused for a moment, but quickly recovered and shouted: "Quick, quick, shoot to attack, suppress Li Zhen's firepower." In fact, Yang Xiuqing thought that Li Zhen would use some back-up moves, which would be surprising, but Li Zhen ordered the soldiers to attack in an orderly manner, but Yang Xiuqing was at a loss. Hong Xuanjiao glanced at the fallen soldiers in front of her. There was no sadness in her eyes, but excitement flashed in her eyes.
She didn't care about the soldier's death, her heart was filled with hatred for Li Zhen.
Kill Li Zhen and take revenge.
Hong Xuanjiao's face was full of expectations, thinking that since both sides had similar fighting capabilities, Li Zhen would definitely lose.
"Bang, bang,,."
At this moment, the Taiping soldiers also launched a counterattack.
One by one, the Taiping soldiers raised their guns to attack. The bullets flew out and hit the iron shields erected on the ground, making a series of muffled sounds and causing sparks to fly. However, although there were many bullets, they failed to penetrate them. The shield failed to hit Li Zhen's soldiers on a large scale, and only a small number of Qing soldiers were killed.
Yang Xiuqing watched the battle between the two sides, and her eyes gradually became excited.
Judging from the current situation, Li Zhen has no options.
The soldiers under his command fired back, and with the support of countless soldiers, they would definitely gain the upper hand.
However, Yang Xiuqing's joy had not subsided, but she discovered a new situation.
The bullets fired by Li Zhen's soldiers were extremely tyrannical. As long as they hit a soldier, they would definitely cause huge damage and make a soldier lose his combat effectiveness.
On the contrary, the bullets fired by the soldiers under his command hit the opponent's iron shield. Some of them could scatter sparks, and some had no effect at all. As for the few that hit the head, they were only a very small number. After all, both sides were When shooting, they are all random shots without aiming, and there is no accuracy.
This situation made Yang Xiuqing scratch his head.
The guns used by his soldiers were advanced weapons that had just been purchased from Maas. Yang Xiuqing also compared the guns used by British and French soldiers. The result was that Maas's guns were high-quality, low-cost, and more powerful. Now When the two armies clashed, Yang Xiuqing found that the bullets fired by his soldiers were not powerful enough, and doubts arose in his heart.
Yang Xiuqing's doubts just arose in her heart, but she once again made a new discovery.
After the guns used by his soldiers fired five or six rounds of bullets in a row, the residue in the gun chambers had to be cleaned again. The guns were also affected to a certain extent, thus affecting the combat effectiveness of the army soldiers. On the other hand, the soldiers under Li Zhen's command, the opponent's The soldier fired cleanly, firing up to ten bullets in a row, almost unaffected.
After these soldiers finished shooting, another soldier came up and started shooting again.
The attacks continued, and the power was obviously stronger.
Yang Xiuqing took a deep breath, and then exhaled a breath of turbid air. Her chest was full of suffocation. She didn't expect that her proud army would be suppressed. Yang Xiuqing spent a lot of money to buy these guns. Now she couldn't gain an advantage, which made Yang Xiuqing feel discouraged. , Yang Xiuqing looked at Hong Xuanjiao and asked: "Mrs. Xiao, you have fought against Li Zhen several times. You are familiar with the weapons used by Li Zhen's soldiers. What are the conditions of the guns used by the other side's soldiers? Why are they so powerful?"
Hong Xuanjiao felt ashamed, shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Yang Xiuqing frowned and asked, "How many times have you fought in a row? Don't you still know?"
Hong Xuanjiao thought that every time she fought with Li Zhen, she was beaten to a pulp and lost in a daze. There was no chance of collecting the weapons left behind by the other party's soldiers after they died, so she knew nothing about Li Zhen's situation. Hong Xuanjiao knew nothing about Li Zhen's situation. But he would not tell the situation. Instead, he said confidently: "If you don't know, you just don't know. I'm only responsible for marching and fighting, and I don't care about this."
When Yang Xiuqing heard this, her expression changed again and again, with blazing anger flashing in her eyes.
