Chapter 176: Battle Five Scum

Stimulated by the strong consciousness in his heart that he could only succeed and not fail, Zheng Sen finally decided to lead the elite guards of three hundred people by himself.

Although he was the son of a pirate, he was familiar with military books since he was a child.

Although this is the first time to really lead a soldier alone, he also knows the truth of the speed of soldiers.

The Qin army is strong and known to the world.

However, he, Zheng Sen, did not think that the Qin army was really strong enough to be invincible.

If Zheng Sen was not convinced before, but he was not enough to challenge the Qin army with his actions,

Now that he has the support of the advanced firearms of the British, and has mastered this elite army that he has personally trained, his self-confidence is unprecedentedly strong.

He had long heard that Jiang Chuan, the regent who single-handedly created the Qin army, was not much older than himself.

So since he Jiangchuan was able to rise from a commoner from Liaodong, destroy the Manchu Dynasty, defeat the Liukou, and enter the Central Plains, he was young and frivolous, and conceited and arrogant, he was naturally unconvinced.

What you Jiang Chuan can do, I Zheng Sen will not be bad.

Under the influence of various factors, this time there was an operation to attack Wenzhou.

All the way to the horse, the war horses under the crotch have been snorting, sweating, and the footsteps are vain, and finally see the destination of this trip.

took off his helmet, shook the beads of sweat on his forehead, and looked at the calm mountains and valleys in front of him, Zheng Sen laughed.

Jiang Chuan, come on, let me see how strong you are.

"One team controls the high ground on the left, the second team controls the high ground on the right, and the third team feeds the horses as a mobile team."

The terrain here was clear at a glance, and Zheng Sen looked at it and quickly made the same deployment as the Qin army.

The only difference was that Zheng Sen said these words with a confident and relaxed tone, because he finally rushed to the front of the enemy.

If the Qin army wants to reinforce Wenzhou from the land, listening to the Snow Gorge is the only way to go.

Moreover, listening to the dangerous terrain of the Snow Gorge and the narrow canyon, as long as the mouth of this valley is blocked, it will be difficult for the Qin army to rush in.

If they want reinforcements from the sea, it just so happens that hundreds of ships of the Zheng family are waiting for them.

Seeing the elite sons and daughters of the guards marching towards the high ground on both sides of the mountain with new-style muskets, and there was no movement at all, Zheng Sen couldn't help laughing.

There seems to be no suspense in this battle.

As for the townsmen who guarded the city in Wenzhou, Zheng Sen did not take them seriously.

He believed that when the time came, he would lead his men and horses to the city to fight, put a few shots, and then put on the banner of the Zheng family's army, and those people would soon open the city and surrender.

It's just a bunch of wall grass, just moving with the wind, and it's not worth mentioning at all.

Zheng Sen jumped off his horse and sat down on a large rock on the side of the road, where the guards brought him a kettle.

After taking a sip of water, I felt a faint pain in my inner thighs that I had been rubbing against on horseback all night, and I couldn't help frowning.

Since he was a child, he has spent more time on the boat than when he was riding a horse, and this is the first time he has ridden a horse for such a long time, and naturally he can't stand it.

The experienced soldiers saw the appearance of the young general, knew what was going on, and took out a small porcelain bottle from the skin pouch on his waist and handed it over: "Major general, this is a good envoy, it will not hurt to wipe it soon." ”

Zheng Sen took it and was about to wipe it on, but as soon as he wanted to take off his pants and apply medicine in front of his soldiers, it was not good for his image of the major general, so he stopped in pain and put the porcelain bottle in his hand in his arms.

He glanced up and saw that the group was almost running to the top of the hill on the left, and the guy who rushed to the front was nicknamed Monkey, short and strong, and as agile as a monkey.

"This monkey is indeed a monkey." Zheng Sen laughed.

But the next moment, his smile froze on his face.

The monkey, who had been jumping around at the front just a moment ago, suddenly fell to the ground on its back.

At this time, the sound of "bang" reached his ears.

And this gunshot sounded like a signal, and the crackling gunshots rang out from the mountaintops on both sides almost simultaneously.

The soldiers of the Zheng family army who rushed to the front seemed to have been slammed into the chest with a sledgehammer one by one, and they fell to the ground one after another, and some even rolled down from the mountain.

This sudden change made Zheng Sen stand up suddenly, and his young and handsome face turned red from the accident.

"This! How is this possible! He blurted out, his voice a little broken with excitement.

He was fast enough to be himself, but he never expected the enemy to be faster than him.

At this moment, he almost felt like he was going to collapse.

Why did things turn out the way they did? What the hell went wrong.

Not to mention Zheng Sen, who was stunned at the foot of the mountain, it is even more panicked to say that the soldiers of the Zheng family army who were attacked without defense were even more panicked.

The sudden attack made them confused, and they screamed and began to flee as they watched the familiar robes fall one by one as they were shot.

Some ran down the hill, others on either side, and only occasionally one or two people raised their guns to return fire, but it was not clear where the bullets had gone.

"Get down, get down, don't run, fight back! Fight back! The officer shouted and brandished his pistol and shot a guy who turned around and ran down.

With the efforts of the officers, the scattered Zheng army finally began to stop the rout and began to shoot towards the top of the mountain.

It's just that they are restless at this time, and the enemy occupies the advantage of the terrain, and often the enemy can beat them, but they can't hit the enemy at all.

And it is often the Zheng Jiajun who has just fired one shot, but the enemy on the top of the mountain has already fired two shots.

It didn't take long for the two squads of the Zheng family army to suffer almost half of the casualties, while the Qin army on the top of the mountain basically had no losses.

The reconnaissance squadron of the Qin army actually only had 200 people, and there were only 60 people in a small team, which was a disadvantage in terms of strength compared with the 100 people in a squad of Zheng Jiajun.

However, with the advantage of weapons, terrain, and the difference in shooting level, they formed a fire suppression on the two squads of the Zheng family's army.

Zheng Jiajun was pressed to death on the hillside, and as soon as someone raised his head, he would immediately attract a bullet.

The Qin army on the top of the mountain was a little surprised at first when he saw the rear-loading rifled gun in Zheng Jiajun's hand.

Although this gun is still backward compared to the rear-loading pull-bolt rifle in his hand, it should not be underestimated. So they all brace themselves and prepare for a tough battle.

But he didn't expect that the combat effectiveness shown by the Zheng Jiajun in front of him was not as powerful as it seemed, and in the words of His Royal Highness the Regent, it was simply a group of scum.
