Xi Changzhen's eyebrows were raised like thick ink, and his pair of narrow red phoenix eyes narrowed into a straight line, with cold light flashing in his eyes. When this expression fell in Chen Zhengshi's eyes, he knew that Xi Changzhen had begun to think about it, and he landed at Zhennanguan. The soldier is like a thorn in the heart, which cannot be removed and makes people feel uncomfortable.
Only by using the power of the Zhennan Army can we have a chance to win.
The hall became quiet.
Xi Changzhen didn't speak, and Chen Zhengshi didn't speak either.
After a full two minutes, Xi Changzhen opened his eyes and already had a plan.
Xi Changzhen said: "Okay, I agree with using the Black Dragon Guard, but since the Black Dragon Guard is used, if you can't take down the Qing army in the pass this time, you don't have to come back to see me. Just kill yourself to apologize."
After a pause, Xi Changzhen continued: "To take down the Qing troops who landed at Zhennanguan, they must be captured in one fell swoop. Remember..., the general plan is this, and the rest is up to you to judge on the fly. In addition to dealing with the troops inside the pass, you must The Qing army should also not forget to send scouts to investigate Li Zhen's movements. If they ignore Li Zhen, who is eyeing him eagerly, it may be a fatal threat."
"I see."
After Chen Zhengshi received the order, he immediately went to prepare.
…
In the Qing army camp, Li Zhen was also worried about the situation of soldiers landing in checkpoints using hot air balloons.
However, without communication tools such as telephones, he could not detect the situation. The continuous waiting made Li Zhen lose his patience. Li Zhen found Smith and ordered: "Smith, immediately send troops back to Guangzhou and dispatch ten cannons. It was a mistake not to bring the cannon this time."
"yes."
Smith agreed and immediately carried out the order.
Li Zhen sat alone in the camp, thinking about the problems he encountered.
When the army left, Li Zhen did not take the cannon with him. After all, there were no cars, trains, etc., which was not conducive to transportation. Moreover, the weight of the cannon was very heavy. The heaviest cannon once placed in the Humen Fort in Guangzhou was as much as Weighing more than 8,000 kilograms, transporting such a cannon will definitely consume countless manpower and material resources.
Even if Li Zhen purchased foreign cannons through Gu Lina, it would be inconvenient to transport them.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen thought about strengthening cannon research.
However, Dai Yuanhua is now focused on researching machine guns. He also wants to make a machine gun that can fire bullets continuously according to Dai Zi's idea, so the research on improving cannons has to be slowed down a bit, but it must at least be put on the agenda. Li Zhen has If you plan, write down your thoughts in detail and organize them into a manuscript.
…
Ten miles southwest of Zhennang Pass, all the soldiers who landed in Zhennang Pass gathered. Company Commander Wu Youfu looked at the ten people under his command and said in a deep voice: "Start from the platoon leader and tell what happened to you. Say it and let’s summarize it.”
There are one hundred people in their group, Wu Youfu is the company commander, the other ten leaders are the platoon leaders in the army, and the rest of the soldiers are all elites selected from the army. Although this group of soldiers is not as good as the sharp knife battalion, But the overall quality is also very high, which cannot be compared with ordinary soldiers.
The platoon leader said: "Company commander, there is nothing wrong with me here. I only wiped out a team of thirty people."
The second platoon leader continued: "I wiped out a team of twenty-five people."
Then, the third platoon leader, the fourth platoon leader, and the fifth platoon leader spoke one after another, and they all wiped out the soldiers coming from the direction of Zhennanguan. When it was the turn of the sixth platoon leader, his expression was not very excited, and he was busy writing. He said: "Company Commander, I haven't encountered any enemy soldiers coming from the direction of Zhennanguan in the past few days, because in the past few days, I took the soldiers to change their uniforms and visited some local people to inquire about the way to the outside from Zhennanguan. I also asked people to explore the road."
"Oh, what's going on?"
Wu Youfu became interested and asked,
Almost everyone fought head-on, but the unusual approach of the sixth platoon leader made Wu Youfu's eyes light up.
The sixth platoon leader said: "I led the soldiers to seek confirmation from the people. I have found out that there is a trail that can lead to the outside of the pass, and from outside Zhennan Pass, you can also enter the pass. This trail is in the mountains and is in disrepair. Few people pass by. , it’s very difficult to walk. I only learned about this old road after visiting the local people.”
As he spoke, the sixth platoon leader took out a roll of silk from his arms. On this roll of silk, the location of nearby roads was marked with a black writing brush, and the map from outside Zhennan Pass to the inside of Zhennan Pass was also clearly marked.
Wu Youfu stroked his hand and said, "Well done. With this map, the commander-in-chief can lead his troops to raid Zhennanguan Pass." He happily held the map in his arms and said, "Get ready. Let's return to the outside of the pass and spread the news." Give it to the marshal."
"Report." At this time, a soldier ran in quickly, with excitement in his eyes, and reported loudly: "Company commander, we found a group of two hundred Zhennanguan soldiers appearing, heading in our direction. Come here."
Wu Youfu's eyes flashed with longing, he looked at the other platoon leaders and asked, "What do you think?"
The seventh platoon leader said: "Company commander, let's do one more job. We will clean up all the two hundred enemy soldiers we encountered, and then take the trail to leave Zhennanguan." The seventh platoon leader was eager to give it a try, and the other platoon leaders also followed suit. Echoing the words and agreeing to send troops, the continuous victories have made these platoon leaders feel proud, and they have a deep understanding in their bones that they think the soldiers in Zhennanguan are not powerful, so they think they can easily wipe out these soldiers. An army.
Wu Youfu also said: "Okay, let's do it."
Everyone has a unified opinion.
Wu Youfu geared up and said, "I remember there was a hillside on the way we came. Let's retreat quickly and rush to the hillside to hide and conduct an ambush. One hundred people versus two hundred people. It's not that difficult."
With an order, all the soldiers in Zhennanguan left.
…
Two hundred soldiers from Zhennanguan rushed on their way. These soldiers were ordered to encircle and suppress the Qing army, but they felt uneasy because they had sent so many soldiers before, but all of them were killed.
The leader was a Qian Zong named Yu Xianhua, who looked quite brave.
Mr. Yu Qian was not as careless as Mr. Qiu. He was very cautious all the way. The soldiers under his command did not know what was going on. However, Mr. Yu Qian got orders from Chen Zhenghua and knew the purpose of this operation. Mr. Yu Qian walked among the soldiers. Moving forward slowly, when the team was only a hundred meters away from the hillside, Mr. Yu Qian's heart began to beat loudly.
This was not the first time that he had such a reaction.
After starting from Zhennanguan, every time he encountered hillsides, mountains and forests, he would always be worried, fearing that a group of enemy soldiers would suddenly appear. Therefore, Yu Qian always wished that the road would be smooth and straight. , so that we would not be ambushed, but unfortunately, we encountered him again, which made Mr. Yu Qian feel uneasy.
He led the soldiers into the official road at the foot of the hillside, raised his head and looked around.
The blue sky was as blue as a wash, but a black shadow suddenly appeared on the blue sky, becoming more and more clear. In the blink of an eye, Mr. Yu Qian could see clearly that it was a wooden-handled thing. Mr. Yu Qian I couldn't figure out what it was, but the wooden handle-like object exploded instantly after falling to the ground, which made Mr. Yu Qian understand.
This thing was clearly the weapon used to bomb the camp that night.
"Retreat, there is an ambush."
Mr. Yu Qian yelled, turned around and ran away.
