More than 100,000 Qing troops trampled on the barren land in the mountainous areas of Burma and advanced downstream along the Nu River valley.

After the Qing army passed the defense line of the Ming army, it was originally planned to build a raft down the river, but only one of the three rafts that explored the way came back, and the surviving spies reported that the gunboats of the Ming army in Nanyang had entered the lower reaches of the Nu River, and had pulled up the barrage rope, and built forts on both sides of the river to wait for the Qing army.

Hearing that there were gunboats downstream, Wu Sangui had to give up the idea of building a raft to go downstream, and had to let the Qing army avoid the river and march on foot in the hilly area.

Aixing Aze galloped back and forth, urging the Qing army to speed up the march. Lu Qian galloped quickly, running from the front army to the rear army, and from the rear army to the front army.

Galloping to the front of the Eight Banners Army, Ai Xing Ah lifted the reins, Lu Yan made a long roar, his front legs rose in the air, and Ai Xing Ah Shun came out of the sheath and pointed straight to the southwest: "Sons and daughters speed up!" If we catch the pseudo-Ming and pseudo-heaven as soon as possible, we will be able to go back to Kunming as soon as possible to hug the girl! ”

"The king is mighty! Capture the puppet tomorrow as soon as possible! Zhuo Luo Beizi roared as he unsheathed his sword.

The Eight Banners shouted in unison: "The king is mighty!" The king is mighty! ”

The road between the hills does not seem to be easy to walk, the road is potholed and rocky everywhere. In some low-lying areas, the ground was very muddy, and the Qing soldiers walked in the muddy ground with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and they slipped and fell accidentally, and fell all over the mud.

"It's the dry season in Myanmar, why is the road so difficult?" Xia Guoxiang asked.

Wu Sangui "snorted" from his nostrils: "It's not a pseudo-Ming thief who is a ghost?" This king has been to Burma, and this road is not so difficult to walk! The thieves must have dug up the embankment and flooded the road! ”

"Ahh There was a scream from ahead.

It turned out that when a Qing soldier walked on a waterlogged road, he walked on the muddy sewage, suddenly stepped on the air, fell into a deep pit, and the more he struggled, the deeper he sank, and in a blink of an eye, the whole person was covered by the sewage over his head. The surrounding Qing soldiers came to pull him. But then they fell into a puddle of mud. Three Qing soldiers struggled and cried for help.

The surrounding Qing soldiers wanted to save people, but they were stopped by a veteran: "Don't go to the rescue!" This is a thief who dug a pit in advance, buried the silt in it, and then flooded the road! This quagmire is like a swamp, and if you fall into it, you will die! If you go to save others, you will fall into it yourself! ”

The three Qing soldiers cried for help, but no one dared to come up to help them, so they could only watch as the three of them were swallowed up by the mire.

When Wu Guogui learned of this, he ordered stones to be dug up from the surrounding mountains and dig up the soil. Fill in the mud pit, and the Qing army will pass.

It was easy to pass through the low-lying terrain and enter the dry highlands. The road ahead is still impassable, with a trench dug in many places and a road blocked by rocks in some places. There are also Qing soldiers walking on the road and suddenly falling into a trap; There are also people who stepped on the mechanism buried under the dirt and were nailed to the ground by bamboo guns shot from the bamboo forest on the side of the road; Someone else touched the mechanism below while moving the stones, and was crushed into meat sauce by the boulders rolling out of the woods.

The powerful Qing army could not see the enemy along the way, but it lost troops one after another. The blow to morale is huge.

"Sons, the more the thieves worry that we will capture their false emperors, the more we must speed up our march! The powerful pseudo-Jin kings have all been defeated by us, what is this thief! "Ai Xing Ah cheered up the Qing army.

In the middle of a dense jungle. Seven were dressed in green uniforms, covered with green nets, covered with leaves of grass and grass rings on their heads. A figure whose face is also painted with green leaf juice. Two of them were holding rifled guns disguised with branches and leaves, three others were holding electric switches that were also disguised with branches and leaves, and two others had bottles with their surnames around their waists.

These five Ming soldiers. It was Liu Baorui's sniper squad, with two snipers, two deputies and three fast gunners. The two deputies were also part-time grenadiers, carrying tinder canisters and ten enhanced versions of the Guojia bottles hanging from their waists, which were filled with the new Dana explosives, which were extremely powerful.

At present, Wang Xinyu has not yet made a fire-pulling device, and the grenadiers can only carry tinder canisters. However, when the sniper team is operating, there is no open flame in the tinder tank, and only when the sniper hits and the enemy chases after him, the deputy will light the fire in the tinder tank and throw a deadly new national surname bottle at the enemy at any time.

Wang Xinyu's choice of sniper location was carefully selected, the jungle here is about three hundred steps away from the roadside, and the front is an open field, just within the range of rifled guns, and the Qing army used to explore the way on both sides of the Lu soldiers will not search so far, the sharpshooters of that year can shoot the target within a hundred steps is already very powerful, flintlock pistols and arquebuses can only hit fifty steps. As for the red-coated cannon, it was too heavy to be carried; The accuracy of the Tiger Squat Cannon is too poor at four hundred paces. Under normal circumstances, there are ambushes, and they are all within a hundred paces. Therefore, the Qing army exploring the road also searched within 200 steps of the surroundings, and it was impossible to search that far.

There are a lot of traps and traps in front of the sniper team. Although the Ming army already had mines, the reliability of the mines that ignited the fire by the steel wheels was very poor, and sometimes it would not necessarily explode if several people stepped on it, so Wang Xinyu did not equip the sniper team with mines, and used poisoned arrows, poison needles and other poisoned mechanisms.

Even the head of the bamboo spear and the bamboo stick buried in the ground were smeared with poison.

The poisons were all provided by the Miao and Li people in Qiongzhou, and these bloody poisons were more effective than unreliable mines.

Chen Shuigen is using a knife to cut a bamboo with good elasticity, making a bamboo bow that is ambushed in the grass. This simplest bow is to use bamboo as a bow, hemp rope as a string, and launch bamboo arrows, the range is very short, and it will lose its elasticity after a few uses. But it's a disposable weapon anyway.

"Here comes the Tartars!" Assistant Shi Guiping came back and said softly.

"Everyone, pay attention to concealment, don't let the Tartars find out!" Chen Shuigen said softly.

Liu Baorui and Chen Shuigen both have a portrait of Ai Xing Ah on their bodies, of course, the portraits are provided by Deng Hong, the paintings are very similar to Ai Xing A, the armor, clothing, and horses on their bodies are all drawn, and they are also marked with instructions.

In front of the Qing army were spies and soldiers, scouting the road on both sides of the avenue in case they were ambushed. It was not until the spies and the soldiers had passed for a long time that a large group of Qing troops appeared behind.

Liu Baorui and Chen Shuigen opened the scope on the rifled gun, adjusted the ruler to 300 paces, turned the muzzle of the gun slightly, and aimed at the Qing army walking on the avenue.

The long wait was both nervous and exciting, and Liu Baorui and Chen Shuigen patiently waited for the target to appear.

The Qing army of more than 100,000 people was very long, and it took about half an hour before Liu Baorui and the others saw the banner of the Qing army. At this time, a Qing army general wearing a yellow flag and a golden helmet appeared in the scope of the two, the Qing general was riding a Lu Qi BMW, carrying a smooth knife around his waist, because it was a hot south, this Qing general did not wear cotton armor, but wore golden metal armor. From the scope, it was found that this person was Aixing!

There are two other people by Ai Xing's side, one is a middle-aged man wearing the armor of the vassal king, and that person is needless to say that it is Wu Sangui; There was also a man who wore a golden helmet with a yellow flag and armor of a shell.

Chen Shuigen gestured: "I'll hit the shell on the right, Ai Xing Ah will be handed over to you!" Wait for them to come into range! ”

Liu Baorui replied with a "understood" gesture.

Seeing Ai Xing Ah in the scope getting closer and closer, Liu Baorui held his breath and steadied the hand holding the gun. He knew the meaning of this shot, as long as it could kill the target, all problems would be solved. If they didn't hit the target, then the Nanyang Ming army would have to fight with the Qing army at a junction two hundred miles east of Yawa City, fighting to the death.

Liu Baorui judged the direction and speed of the wind, and then estimated the speed of Ai Xing's movement, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at the position a little ahead.

When Ai Xing Ah entered within 300 steps, Liu Baorui decisively pulled the trigger.

A burst of fire erupted from the muzzle of the "bang", and a puff of white smoke rose from the trees. Almost at the same time, Chen Shuigen also pulled the trigger, and the two gunshots almost overlapped.

After the bullet was discharged, Liu Baorui turned the muzzle of the gun slightly and aimed the scope at Ai Xing's face.

The high-speed spinning bullet drilled into Aisei's right eye, pierced the skull, and spewed out of the back of the head with a bloody arrow. When the Qing soldiers heard the gunshots, Ai Xing'a fell from his horse.

Almost at the same time, a hole appeared on the right side of Zorobezi's helmet, and with a muffled grunt, he fell off his horse's back.

"There are assassins!" Someone shouted.

Wu Sangui didn't react for a while, and when he saw Ai Xing Ah and Zhuo Luo Beizi fall off the horse at the same time, he was startled and hurriedly jumped off the horse. A group of Qing soldiers surrounded him and protected Wu Sangui in the middle.

"The Assassins are over there!" One of the Eight Banners shouted.

"Up! Catch these assassins! One of the Eight Banners Commander shouted.

The vengeful Eight Banners shouted and shouted, and rode their horses to chase in the direction of Liu Baorui's retreat. However, the jungle road ahead was difficult to navigate, and after a few steps of the horses, some horses stumbled and fell off their horses. The Eight Banners had to abandon their horses and chase after them on foot. As soon as he entered the woods, a man stepped on the trap and fell into the trap with a scream, and his body was pierced into a sieve by sharpened wood.

After a while, another Eight Banners soldier tripped over the rope, and more than a dozen bamboo arrows equipped with poisonous arrows were shot, and three Eight Banners soldiers were hit by arrows. The arrows shot by this very weak bamboo bow had no power after penetrating the cloth armor. The Eight Banners soldier who was hit by the arrow felt like he had been stung by a wasp, the wound was in severe pain, he lost his strength all over, he fell to the ground and trembled uncontrollably, and soon his face was gray, his lips were pitch black, and the corners of his mouth were foaming.

Two more Eight Banners soldiers stepped on a bamboo stick buried in the grass and were pierced through the soles of their feet.

"Ahh The two Eight Banners soldiers sat on the ground and took off their shoes, only to see that the blood flowing from the soles of their feet had turned black.

One of them drew his knife, slashed one by one, and cut off the injured calves of the two Eight Banner soldiers: "There is poison on the bamboo stick!" That's the only way to save your lives! (To be continued.) )
