Chapter 649 The old acquaintance of Zhennanguan (5 more)
After hearing what Li Zhen said, Zhou Xiuying asked confusedly: "How could I be wrong?"
Li Zhen pointed to the direction of the hillside in the level and said: "You lead the soldiers to charge. In front of the official road, there is Xi Changzhen who suppresses the soldiers' charge with firepower. There are enemy soldiers attacking on the hillsides on both sides of the official road. Even with a fierce charge, They all charge with the lives of the soldiers, you watch, I will break Xi Changzhen's defense."
Seeing Li Zhen's confidence, Zhou Xiuying nodded with an expectant look on her face.
Li Zhen waved his hand and called Dong Haichuan and Yang Luchan over.
Yang Luchan said: "What orders does the commander have?"
Dong Haichuan also said: "Commander, if you have anything to do, just give me your instructions."
Li Zhen pointed to the hillsides on both sides of the official road and said in a deep voice: "The enemy soldiers on both sides of the hillside have given Xi Changzhen great power and seriously hindered the pace of our army's attack. Each of you will lead a battalion of soldiers to climb up. Go up the hillside, deal with the enemy troops on both sides of the hillside, then occupy the high point, shoot down from the high point, suppress Xi Changzhen's troops, and cooperate with the soldiers to charge."
"clear."
The two smiled at each other, and each took a battalion of soldiers and started climbing.
Even though the two of them were in their fifties, their bodies were no less healthy than those of young people. After receiving the tasks assigned by Li Zhen, they were particularly happy and felt like they were being reused.
The two men climbed up the mountain with the soldiers in tow.
Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan are highly skilled in martial arts and are both people who do not carry weapons on their bodies. Although they cannot stop bullets no matter how high they are in martial arts, the mountains are rugged with strange rocks and there are places to avoid bullets everywhere, which gives them great convenience. The two of them rushed forward like apes, and soon rushed into the crowd of soldiers hiding on the hillside.
The two old men each led a group of soldiers to charge and quickly swept away the army on the mountain.
At this time, the commanding heights no longer belonged to Xi Changzhen, and the initiative had also transferred to Li Zhen. The soldiers on the hillside fired at Xi Changzhen at the foot of the mountain, causing a huge impact on Xi Changzhen who had built fortifications at the foot of the mountain. At this time, Xi Changzhen not only had to Facing the fierce charge of Li Zhen's army, he also had to deal with bullets popping up from time to time on the mountain.
what to do.
At this time, Xi Changzhen was also a little anxious.
Zhou Xiuying suddenly felt enlightened when she saw Li Zhen's arrangement.
There was no longer a threat on the hillside, and the threat on the hillside was further transformed into an advantage for one's own side. This was a means that could greatly reverse the situation. Zhou Xiuying couldn't help but couldn't help it when she saw the soldiers under her command launching a charge. He rushed forward, and after approaching Xi Changzhen Duuche's defense fortifications 20 meters away, Zhou Xiuying decisively ordered the use of grenades.
"Whoosh, whoosh,,."
Grenades shot out of the air one after another and landed in the camp of Xi Changzhen's soldiers.
"Boom, boom,,."
There was an explosion, and soldiers were killed one by one.
The soldiers of the Zhennan Army under Xi Changzhen were not soft persimmons who could be manipulated by others. These soldiers kept shooting and shooting out dense bullets, which also had a huge impact on the charging soldiers under Li Zhen.
Chen Zhengshi hid beside Xi Changzhen and said, "Sir, what should we do now? The firepower of Li Zhen's soldiers is too strong. Our soldiers are not afraid of death, but they cannot withstand such a worthless death."
"How long will it take for the foreigners to arrive?"
Xi Changzhen sighed and asked.
When Xi Changzhen mentioned this, a flash of pain flashed in his eyes. He was very unwilling to deal with foreigners, and even thought that foreigners were vulgar and vulgar people, but he had to do so at the moment. After all, this was Xi Yinglong's self-reliance. With his strength, if Zhennan Pass is breached, he will also fail, which will be bad for Xi Yinglong's great cause.
Chen Zhengshi said: "According to your instructions, we have been notified that it is expected to arrive in another quarter of an hour."
"In a quarter of an hour, I will be dead by then."
Xi Changzhen raised his eyebrows, a look of impatience flashed in his eyes.
Chen Zhengshi said: "Sir, we are protected by the Zhennan Army, and the Black Dragon Guard has not been used. If you hold this place, you can still get through it in a quarter of an hour. The Zhennan Army is somewhat stretched, so it is better to use the Black Dragon Guard."
"fart."
Xi Changzhen hid under the fortifications and said unhappily.
Immediately, he said in a deep voice: "Li Zhen doesn't know the existence of the Black Dragon Guard. This is our advantage. This kind of army is used to save lives at the last moment and is also used to defeat the enemy at the critical moment. Now it is used to delay Li Zhen. Black Dragon Guard, we are wasting our soldiers, retreat, while we are retreating, we are waiting for the foreigners to come, and we can take advantage of the confrontation between the foreigners and Li Zhen, and we can take advantage."
"My lord is wise."
Chen Zhengshi looked happy and immediately ordered: "Withdraw."
Immediately, thousands of Zhennanguan garrison abandoned their fortifications and quickly retreated.
Li Zhen did not expect Xi Changzhen's sudden retreat.
However, Li Zhen still ordered the soldiers to pursue him. As the saying goes, anyone can beat a drowned dog. Li Zhen was no exception. However, Li Zhen was also careful to avoid being trapped.
Smith came to Li Zhen and said: "Commander, we have taken Zhennanguan. I suggest that we stop and rest temporarily. It will not be too late to move forward after we have found out the situation ahead clearly."
"Not to be missed."
Li Zhen said seriously: "This is an opportunity to defeat Xi Changzhen, we can't let it go."
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen ordered the pursuit.
The army continued to move forward, and the speed of pursuit gradually increased. As it got closer and closer, gunshots sounded messily and intensively; shouts of killing came one after another, revealing heart-rending pain. Xi Changzhen saw the soldiers under his command dying continuously. , angry in his heart, he said loudly: "Why haven't the foreigners arrived yet? Foreigners are foreigners, they are too unreliable."
When he opened his mouth to speak, a group of foreign soldiers came to the front of the official road.
This group of foreign soldiers is fierce and majestic.
When Xi Changzhen saw this, he raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly. He couldn't see the arrogance of foreigners the most, especially since the foreigners were clearly seeking profits in this land, but they pretended to be saviors, which made Xi Changzhen extremely angry. However, it was only because of Xi Yinglong that Xi Changzhen agreed to cooperate with foreigners.
After seeing the foreign troops, he ordered: "Separate to both sides of the road and make way for the foreigners."
After he gave the order, the soldiers under his command immediately gave way.
The galloping foreign troops hurried on and soon met the troops under Xi Changzhen. At the same time, when the foreign troops encountered soldiers under Li Zhen coming to kill them, the general who led the troops trembled instinctively, but he was cheered up. Spirit, shouted in a foreign language: "Shoot, prepare to shoot back immediately."
As soon as he gave the order, all the foreign soldiers under his command raised their guns and aimed at the oncoming troops.
Surrounded by soldiers, Li Zhen also saw the troops coming from the front.
When he saw clearly that the person coming was also Li Zhen, his eyes suddenly opened wide. The person who came was actually an old acquaintance of Li Zhen. This old acquaintance had always had entanglements with Li Zhen since he started his career. Because he led the foreigners The general was none other than the commander of the French fleet, Russell. Unexpectedly by Li Zhen, Russell arrived in Guangxi quietly and became Xi Yinglong's accomplice.
Obviously, Xi Yinglong's rebellion was not isolated, but had a great relationship with France.
