On the tower of Zhennanguan Gate, Xi Changzhen had a gloomy face.
Prior to this, he had sent soldiers to explore the situation of the Qing army that landed at Zhennanguan, but no trace was found. This result made Xi Changzhen very dissatisfied, and he scolded Chen Zhengshi severely for this.
Xi Changzhen scolded Chen Zhengshi until he was furious, and said solemnly: "Old Chen, you must find out the location of the Qing army within two days, and then wipe them all out. Otherwise, these people may become cancer and even affect the entire chess game."
"I see."
Chen Zhengshi said: "Sir, do you think Li Zhen will send soldiers flying through the sky again?"
Xi Changzhen said coldly: "I have ordered the soldiers to prepare powerful crossbows. Once Li Zhen's soldiers appear again, the soldiers will use the powerful crossbows to shoot. No matter how he flies, he will fall down."
Chen Zhengshi turned around and left, dispatching the remaining soldiers to search for the movements of the soldiers who fell inside the pass.
…
Twenty miles away from Zhennanguan, there is a mountain forest. The company commander leading the team and ten soldiers were running quickly in the mountain forest, rushing towards Zhennanguan. As they were rushing, they discovered The soldiers who came to search on the road, there were about twenty people in this search team, all carrying guns.
When the company commander saw this, he looked at the soldiers behind him and said, "Brothers, how about we kill them."
"If the company commander says to do it, we will do it."
"Company Commander, if we haven't done anything yet, let's practice with these people."
…
The remaining nine soldiers looked excited and agreed with each other.
The company commander made a move, and all nine people gathered around him.
I heard the company commander whisper: "There are ten of us, eight of us are hiding in the mountains and forests, and Xiaowu and I are responsible for attracting the enemy, leading them into the mountains and forests, and then annihilating them in one fell swoop." Next, the company commander made arrangements. After each soldier found out where he was hiding, he quickly picked up a hat made of weeds and ran toward the edge of the woods with Xiao Wu.
On the road, a team of more than 20 people was approaching.
Among them, the leader said: "The Qing troops who sneaked into Zhennanguan are too cunning. They hide without any movement, causing us to run around again and again. Brothers, we must catch them this time, otherwise the commander-in-chief will do it when we return." I’m really going to get angry.”
"Boss Qiu, you can't catch this just because you want to."
In the army, the soldier responded.
Mr. Qiu looked serious and said in a deep voice: "I don't care about this. We have returned without success. When the people above deal with me, I will deal with you. Anyway, one level after another." At this time, Mr. Qiu kept his eyes rolling, always paying attention to the surrounding situation.
"Wow, wow,"
Suddenly, Mr. Qiu noticed a sound coming from the edge of the woods on the right.
He glanced around and clearly saw a figure flashing past.
The Qing army must be soldiers of the Qing army.
General Qiu suddenly became excited, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Chasing, there are Qing troops in the mountains and forests."
Mr. Qiu held up his gun, threw his legs and chased after him.
When the soldiers behind him heard this, their eyes shone. Seeing the opportunity to seize the Qing army, a group of more than 20 people quickly chased after him. After entering the mountain forest, Qiu Baizong saw two fleeing figures. , and these two people were still wearing the unique military uniforms of Li Zhen's soldiers, and it has been determined that the fleeing people were soldiers under Li Zhen's command.
Mr. Qiu was delighted and shouted: "Hurry up, grab these two alive, and then interrogate the rest of them. Brothers, the opportunity to make a meritorious deed has come, so hurry up."
A group of people quickly caught up.
In about five minutes, everyone went deep into the forest.
The company commander led Xiao Wu to run quickly. Seeing the people chasing after him, a smile appeared on his lips. He led Xiao Wu to the hiding place of his soldiers, and his heart became excited. When the two of them After arriving at the hiding place of his soldiers, the company commander turned around decisively, took out a pistol from his arms, and shouted: "Shoot."
"boom."
There was a muffled sound and the bullet flew out.
"puff,."
A Zhennanguan soldier who was chasing him fell down, and his head was blown off by a shot from the company commander.
"Bang, bang,,."
Immediately afterwards, seven more gunshots were heard, and seven pursuers fell.
There were a total of twenty-three soldiers under General Qiu's command. In the blink of an eye, eight died, and one-third of them were already dead. He saw six more soldiers suddenly appear from the other side, plus the two who had just fled, there were already The eight people were not afraid in their hearts and shouted: "Go up and kill these people."
Mr. Qiu also pulled the trigger and fired, but his gun was not a light and easy-to-carry pistol, but a rear-loading rifled gun with very large recoil. It was difficult to charge and fire at the same time. More importantly, it was difficult to fire. There was no accuracy in the end.
"Bang, bang,,."
The two sides fought, gunshots rang out, and more and more soldiers under General Qiu were killed and injured.
After a while, only three people were left.
Mr. Qiu Ba was also shot twice, once in his left shoulder and once in his lower abdomen.
When he saw that no one on the other side had been lost, he knew he was in trouble, so he retreated and ran away. The three soldiers who followed him also retreated, trying to escape. When the company commander saw this, he raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, He aimed at one person and fired, killing the person running behind him. The surrounding soldiers fired again, instantly killing the two people following Qiu Bazong, leaving only Qiu Bazong alone.
Seeing that he was about to rush out of the forest, Mr. Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
If you rush out, you have a chance to escape.
"Bang, bang."
At this time, two gunshots were heard.
Mr. Qiu was shot in the forehead and heart respectively. His body froze as if he was struck by electricity, and his vision instantly became blurry. In his blurred vision, he could clearly see two people on the edge of the woods. Mr. Qiu thought that the other party was too cruel, but it was too late to think about it. His body swayed and he fell to the ground without any breath.
The company commander's original arrangement was for six people to hide in the forest and two people to hide on the edge of the forest, while the company commander and Xiao Wu were responsible for attracting the enemy. In this way, they would be attacked from both inside and outside without fear of the enemy escaping.
The company commander killed all the enemies and ordered: "Quick, clear the battlefield immediately, and we will hide temporarily." He ordered people to deal with the dead soldiers, and continued on the road with his soldiers, just like the company commander's team It often happened that people ambushed Zhennanguan soldiers, killing almost all the people sent from Zhennanguan.
…
Xi Changzhen was furious when the soldiers he sent out were almost wiped out.
When the soldiers on guard saw this, they were all trembling with fear. They all knew that Xi Changzhen was usually amiable and could make dirty jokes with his soldiers, but when he became serious or angry, it was definitely the most dangerous time. At this time , only Chen Zhengshi, an old brother who accompanied Xi Changzhen from the battlefield, dared to go in.
However, Chen Zhengshi was also uneasy at this time. When he walked in, he was immediately taught by Xi Changzhen: "Chen Zhengshi, what the hell did you find soldiers? All the people you sent out are dead. They are a bunch of trash."
Chen Zhengshi said respectfully: "Sir, the Qing soldiers who used the big ball to fly into Zhennanguan are not ordinary soldiers. I suggest that the power of Zhennan Army or the power of Black Dragon Guard be used." The so-called Black Dragon Guard is actually Xi Changzhen himself. The number of the trained escort team was small, only 108 people.
