Chapter 12: Sharpshooter Li Zhen (8th Update)
Li Zhen hid alone in the mountains and forests, staring at the official road under the mountain.
In half an hour, Huang Shihai and Huang Hu took 928 soldiers out of the mountains and forests, standing on the official road that had already been demarcated. Huang Shihai's position was about 100 meters away from Li Zhen's left hand, and Li Yongbao led the soldiers to rush from Li Zhen's right hand. When the two armies met, Li Yongbao had to step forward to call for battle, and the distance from Huang Shihai must be within 100 meters.
In this way, Li Zhen is between Huang Shihai and Li Yongbao. As long as the distance between Li Zhen and Li Yongbao is within 100 meters, even if the distance is a little different, Li Zhen is sure enough to shoot Li Yongbao.
Li Zhen hid in the mountains and forests, waiting patiently.
Time passed, and a black line appeared on the official road in the distance, quickly rushing towards the direction of the hillside.
Li Yongbao, here!
Li Zhen took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, picked up a straw hat woven of weeds and put it on his head, and then quickly entered the selected position. It was summer, the mountains and forests were lush with grass and trees, and Li Zhen was wearing a straw hat woven with fresh weeds on his head, which was difficult to find in the forest. In addition, there is Huang Shihai on the official road to attract Li Yongbao's attention, and Li Zhen is even more difficult to find.
……
Li Yongbao led his troops forward, and also got the news that the Qing army was blocking the official road.
After confirmation, it was learned that the Qing army was only 800 people, and Li Yongbao did not pay attention to it at all. He led his soldiers to stop a hundred meters away from Huang Shihai, which was not much different from Li Zhen's estimate. Li Yongbao rode his horse to the front of the military formation, his eyes were like electricity, staring at Huang Shihai, who was holding a big ash gun in front of him, and shouted: "Who is coming? Ben will not kill the nobody! ”
Huang Shihai yelled: "President Huang Shihai! ”
Li Yongbao muttered, he didn't find Huang Shihai's information in his mind, and immediately showed a contemptuous look on his face, and said loudly: "Nobody, the general is not even interested in making a move." ”
After a pause, Li Yongbao shouted, "Where is Jiang Ping?" ”
Jiang Ping hugged his fists and said: "The end will be!" ”
Li Yongbao pointed at Huang Shihai and ordered: "Take Huang Shihai's dog's head!" ”
"The last general obeys!"
Jiang Ping responded with his fists clenched, carrying a big knife, and rushed towards Huang Shihai on horseback.
Li Zhen hid next to the trunk of a towering tree, the butt of his gun resting under his armpit, his eyes close to the scope, and aimed at Li Yongbao's temple. At this moment, all of Li Zhen's attention was focused on Li Yongbao.
"Bang!"
Li Zhen pulled the trigger, and a gunshot rang out.
"Poof!"
The bullet struck Li Yongbao's temple with precision and pierced his skull.
Li Yongbao didn't even have time to scream, he felt a pain in his brain, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he fell directly to the ground, without a trace of breath. Li Yongbao suddenly came to the end, and the soldiers around him were frightened, and they didn't understand how Li Yongbao could suddenly fall off his horse. Several lieutenants dismounted to check on Li Yongbao's situation, only to find that Li Yongbao had an extra blood hole in his head.
Crimson blood gushed from his temples, quickly forming a pool of blood.
Seeing this, Li Yongbao's lieutenant Wang Zhong knew that the situation was not good.
He made a decision immediately and shouted: "The Qing Demon plotted against General Li, and killed all the Qing Demon to avenge General Li." ”
"Poof!"
As soon as Wang Zhong's words were spoken, a bullet flew again, hitting Wang Zhong's head and killing him with one shot. The two main generals of the bandits were shot in the blink of an eye, and they were even more panicked. Li Zhen was not satisfied, and quickly aimed at the generals of the Taiping Army, and shot three generals in a row, making the Taiping Army completely chaotic.
"General Lee has been killed!"
"General Wang has been killed!"
"Qing demons will do demon magic, they used demon magic to kill a few generals, run away!"
……
Countless Taiping soldiers were in disarray, shouting loudly in panic, and their tones were filled with endless unease. They spread their feet and turned and ran backwards, no longer rushing forward. In fact, these soldiers were about to rush forward to kill the enemy just now, but the successive downfall of the generals made the Taiping soldiers panic and did not dare to rush forward any further.
Li Zhen put away the sniper rifle, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This is the sniper's method!
Huang Hu looked at Li Yongbao, who fell to the ground, and then at the rest of the bandit generals who fell to the ground, opened his mouth wide to show a look of surprise, and looked at Li Zhen's position again. After a long while, Huang Hu reacted and muttered to himself: "If Lord Li shoots the enemy general, is it necessary to kill the enemy desperately?" ”
Such a method is too cruel.
Huang Shihai also found out that Li Zhen had shot Li Yongbao and killed several bandit generals, and his heart became anxious. He roared, and the big gun in his hand suddenly exerted force, and the tip of the gun shook rapidly, like five spear flowers appearing like pear blossoms, which seemed to be real and illusory, shaking Jiang Ping's head and his head were dizzy, and he couldn't tell the truth from the fake.
Jiang Ping swung his knife one after another, wanting to protect his own safety.
"Poof!"
Jiang Ping was defeated by Huang Shihai after all, and was stabbed in the chest by Huang Shihai. The moment the tip of the gun poked into his heart, Huang Shihai stirred it hard, crushing Jiang Ping's heart.
Huang Shihai provoked Jiang Ping and shouted: "Li Yongbao is dead, kill!" ”
"Kill!"
More than 900 soldiers shouted in unison, and the steel knives were unsheathed to meet the fleeing Taiping army. Under the scorching sun, the light reflected by the blade was extremely dazzling, shaking the Taiping soldiers in fear and fleeing for their lives.
"Run!"
Shouts were heard one after another among the soldiers of the Taiping Army, and the army had completely collapsed. The generals were killed and wounded, and there was no one to preside over the overall situation, and the soldiers wanted to get rid of the pursuit and flee back to Yangzhou.
"Da! Da! ”
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Li Zhenze galloped out of the mountains and forests, quickly meeting with Huang Shihai and others.
With the sniper rifle on his back, Li Zhen carried a steel knife and yelled: "Kill! ”
Li Zhen took the lead, and more than 100 soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion rushed forward excitedly. When Huang Shihai saw Li Zhen come out, he also charged hard, and his heart was extremely happy. Fighting with Li Zhen is enjoyable, and you will win in one fell swoop.
They pursued and killed all the way, killing the Taiping soldiers on their backs and crushing.
In a quarter of an hour, another 6,000 troops were killed in front of the official road, blocking the road of the Taiping army.
The leader of the army is Wu Qigong, a staff member. When Li Zhen saw Wu Qigong come out, he knew that it was time to make a forced landing on the Taiping army, and shouted: "Put down your arms, don't kill those who surrender!" ”
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
The soldiers shouted, their voices echoing across the battlefield.
Seeing this, Wu Qigong also ordered the surrender of the Taiping army.
The soldiers of the Taiping Army had no way to enter or retreat, and there was no way to escape. After hearing the shout of 'those who surrender will not kill', all the soldiers threw down their weapons and surrendered. With a wave of his hand, Wu Qigong arrogantly ordered the soldiers to collect the weapons of the Taiping army, and then surrounded the Taiping soldiers and detained them all together.
Wu Qigong smiled at the corner of his mouth, already looking forward to the situation after returning to the camp.
Li Zhen came to Wu Qigong's side, hugged his fists and said, "Congratulations to your lord for exterminating the bandits and making great contributions." ”
Wu Qigong smiled and said, "Li Zhen, you have also made a great contribution!" ”
Li Zhen immediately said: "Thanks to the trust of the adults, otherwise it is impossible to defeat the bandits easily." Listening to Li Zhen's compliments, Wu Qigong felt that he was fluttering and very excited. He ordered the battlefield to be cleared and prepared to collect his troops.
In this battle, the losses of the Qing army were minimal,
On the other hand, the Taiping army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and the remaining 8,000 were captured.
Wu Qigong used to think that fighting a war was a very hard thing, but now he finds it so simple. He took the heads of Li Yongbao, Wang Zhong, and Jiang Pingfa bandit generals, and escorted more than 10,000 captured Taiping troops back to the camp.
Wu Qigong and Li Zhen returned victorious, and all the soldiers were also excited.
The army returned to the camp, and Qi Shan personally welcomed the two into the camp.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Qi Shan smiled and said with a smile: "This time we defeated the bandits, and captured more than 8,000 bandits, which greatly boosted the military prestige of our Jiangbei battalion." Good, very good! After a pause, Qi Shan said: "Li Zhen, if you kill Li Yongbao and other thief generals, this official will promote you to a general and lead an army alone." ”
"Thank you, my lord, I will definitely make persistent efforts to live up to my high expectations."
Li Zhen was happy in his heart, but his expression was calm, and he did not show a complacent look. This expression fell in Qi Shan's eyes, and Qi Shan was even more satisfied, thinking that Li Zhen was not arrogant or impatient, and it was worth cultivating. Qi Shan looked at Wu Qigong and said, "Wu Qigong, you led the army to defeat the bandits, and this official promoted you to deputy commander-in-chief, I hope you will work hard." ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Wu Qigong thanked him again and again, and looked at the generals in the army proudly.
Qi Shan saw that Wu Qigong was carried away, and shook his head secretly, but he didn't criticize him too much.
After a change of words, Qi Shan said again: "This time we defeated the bandits, killed more than 1,000 people, and captured more than 8,000 bandits, what do you say should be done with the bandits who surrendered?" ”
He Ming was unhappy in his heart, and said: "My lord, the last general thinks that all the bandits will be killed to set an example. ”
After hearing this, Qi Shan was also a little moved.
Killing all the bandits was a warning to the Taiping army, so that the Taiping army would not dare to act rashly.
Li Zhen observed his words, pondered in his heart for a while, stood up and saluted Qi Shan, and said, "My lord, the last general thinks that he can't kill the captured bandits. He Ming's suggestion sounds good, but if he really kills the bandits, he will definitely put the adults in danger, which is not good for the adults and the Jiangbei camp. ”
