Chapter 1: A headshot
The drums were loud and reverberating on the battlefield.
Li Zhen wore a shabby military uniform with his sleeves rolled up to reveal his muscular arms. He bowed his back slightly, carried a steel knife, and calmly stared at the rushing Taiping army, like a lurking tiger waiting for its prey to take the bait.
"Kill!"
An abrupt roar came from two feet in front of Li Zhen. A Taiping soldier bared his teeth and showed a fierce glint in his eyes, and rushed towards Li Zhen viciously, swinging his knife and slashing down.
Li Zhen's eyes were calm, without the slightest panic.
At the moment when the steel knife slashed at him, Li Zhen's right foot leaned forward, and his body shook slightly to the right, just avoiding the steel knife that was split. The light of the knife swept past him, revealing a refreshing chill. Li Zhen let out a low roar, his body rushed out, and the tiger crashed into the shoulders of the Taiping soldiers like a mountain.
"Bang!"
A dull sound came out, and the Taiping army screamed miserably, revealing a painful look. Due to the loss of the center of gravity of the body, the soldier stepped back three steps in a row to stabilize his body.
"Die."
Li Zhen was unforgiving, and he quickly chased after him with his feet, swinging his knife and cutting it out.
"Poof!!"
The long knife slashed through the soldier's neck, slitting his throat and sending out a string of blood.
Warm scarlet blood splattered out, spilling Li Zhen's face. Li Zhen stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, and the blood stains spread on his face, which looked even more hideous and terrifying. Li Zhen didn't even look at the dead soldier because he couldn't stop. If you don't kill the Taiping army, you will be killed by the Taiping army.
In order to survive, Li Zhen can only keep killing.
Li Zhen killed the Taiping soldiers, paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued to kill towards the position of the main general of the Taiping Army. If you want to make meritorious contributions, you naturally want to start with the biggest general.
The steel knife was stained with blood, and Li Zhen constantly shuttled through the Taiping army, and soon killed eighteen soldiers.
At this moment, Li Zhen was covered in blood, and he was already a bloody person.
The distance around him was empty, and no one dared to approach Li Zhen. His eyes swept over the soldiers of the Taiping Army, and all the soldiers were trembling, wanting to make a move but fearing that they would be killed by Li Zhen.
The corners of Li Zhen's mouth hooked up a sneer, the Taiping army in front of him was too weak.
In fact, Li Zhen's soul is not a person of this era. He is a special sniper of the Falcon Special Forces of Huaxia Kingdom, and he was ordered by the organization to snipe the head of the terrorist base, but was chased and killed because of the accidental leakage of information. Li Zhen sneaked all the way to escape, but was forced into a desperate situation, and finally died with the enemy.
When Li Zhen woke up, he found himself a centurion in the Jiangbei camp of the Qing Dynasty.
From the memory in my mind, I know that it is June of the third year of Xianfeng.
At the beginning of February, the Taiping army invaded Nanjing, changed Nanjing to Tianjing, and designated it as the national capital. Subsequently, the Taiping generals Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang led their troops to capture Yangzhou and began the Northern Expedition. Emperor Xianfeng was panicked and appointed Qi Shan, the governor of Henan, as the minister of the Qincha, and formed a Jiangbei camp north of Yangzhou to encircle and suppress the Taiping army.
Qi Shan was anxious to boost the morale of the army, and ordered the general Wu Qiquan to lead 6,000 Qing troops to attack the Taiping army.
Li Zhen went into battle with the army and appeared on the battlefield.
"Qinggou, Lao Tzu is here to kill you." The Taiping soldiers surrounded Li Zhentuan, but did not dare to act rashly, a situation that annoyed a Taiping general. This person is burly, with a collapsed nose, sunken eyes, greedy and fierce eyes, a hideous and hateful face, showing Sensen's white teeth, eager to devour Li Zhensheng alive.
Li Zhen sneered twice, but a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
A partial general can also earn some credit.
Li Zhen rushed forward with a bloody steel knife, and the Taiping soldiers around him threw themselves back, showing a look of fear. Seeing this, the general was even more angry. He swung his knife at Li Zhen, and when the two sides were only one zhang away, he swung his knife and slashed down.
Li Zhen's face was not afraid, and he greeted him with a knife.
"Bell!!"
The weapons collided with a loud bang.
Li Zhen's body remained motionless, unaffected in the slightest, as if the impact just now was a breeze. However, the partial general was chopped back five steps by Li Zhen, his arm was numb, the tiger's mouth was broken, and his palm was stained with sticky blood. The general showed a look of horror in his eyes, and suddenly turned around and ran, no longer fighting Li Zhen.
Li Zhen sneered twice, snorted, and threw the steel knife with all his might.
"Poof!!"
The long knife turned into a streamer, and instantly shot into the back of the deviant general, stabbing into the heart.
A scream came out, and he fell to the ground.
Li Zhen strode after him, came to the side of the general, pulled out the steel knife inserted in his back with a snort, and then quickly cut off the general's head with a sharp swing, and tied the general's head to his waist. This is the proof of his military exploits, and it cannot be lost. Li Zhen killed the general of the Taiping Army, which was fierce and powerful, and made the surrounding soldiers dare not act rashly.
"The Qing demon is defeated, kill it!"
Suddenly, the shouts of Taiping soldiers could be heard in the distance.
Li Zhen was about to rush forward, when he heard the sound and looked, he found that the Qing soldiers were all spreading their feet and retreating vigorously. Li Zhen sighed in his heart, he wanted to enter the Taiping army and kill the opponent's main general, but he didn't expect that the 6,000 Qing army was vulnerable and was defeated by the Taiping army with extremely low combat effectiveness. Now that the Qing army is retreating, no one is holding it back, and Li Zhen is also difficult to support alone.
Remove!
Retreat now!
Seeing that the Taiping soldiers around him were about to move, Li Zhen decisively chose to retreat. Li Zhen has already killed a Taiping army general, and he has a small victory, and he also has credit for retreating. There was wind under his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he threw off the Taiping army behind him and caught up with the Qing army who were fleeing for their lives.
After a while, he caught up with Wu Qigong, the main general who fled for his life.
This person is handsome and elegant, and he looks good, but he is a fool who doesn't know how to march and arrange. Wu Qigong fled for his life surrounded by soldiers, accompanied by more than a dozen guards. The guards were armed with bird guns and could shoot from a distance, but all the guards were so busy running for their lives that none of them thought of killing the enemy with their weapons.
Li Zhen looked at the bird gun in the guard's hand and a smile appeared on his face.
With the bird gun, there is a chance to snipe the main general of the Taiping army.
Sniping the enemy is an old job, and it is also Li Zhen's forte. In fact, when Li Zhen came to this era, he always wanted to get a gun to carry with him, but his official position was the size of a sesame seed, and he couldn't get a firearm. Even Li Zhen wanted to form a regular army in his heart, but he had no chance, so Li Zhen wanted to make meritorious contributions, climb up, and achieve the goal in his heart.
Li Zhen turned his brain, then quickly approached the guards beside Wu Qigong, and then shouted loudly: "General, lowly duties can turn the situation around." ”
Wu Qigong roared: "What can you do? ”
He didn't care whether Li Zhenxing was or not, and directly became a live horse doctor.
Li Zhen saw Wu Qigong asking and knew that there was a play, so he immediately stretched out his hand and pointed at the bird gun on the guard, and replied loudly: "General, you need a bird gun for your humble position, which is used to shoot enemy generals." ”
Wu Qigong shouted: "Okay, this general is approved." ”
At that moment, Wu Qigong asked the guards beside him to give Li Zhen a bird gun.
Li Zhen took it over and quickly checked the situation of the bird. This is not an early arquebus, it is a modified percussive flintlock pistol, which is already loaded with ammunition and can hit the flint friction ignition to shoot a bullet as long as the trigger is pulled. Li Zhen ran backwards with a one-meter-and-a-half bird gun, and at the same time turned back to search for the location of the chief general of the Taiping Army.
Wu Qigong was also retreating, but he looked at Li Zhen's situation.
Suddenly, Li Zhen's eyes lit up.
Among the soldiers of the Taiping Army, a middle-aged man wearing golden armor, wearing a golden helmet on his head, riding a big white horse, chasing and killing the Qing army with great martial power, was the chief general of the Taiping Army.
Li Zhen ran forward for a distance, and distanced himself from the Taiping army chasing behind.
With enough cushion, Li Zhen turned around and stopped, holding up the bird gun in his hand.
At this moment, the shouts on the battlefield disappeared, and the charging Taiping soldiers also disappeared from Li Zhen's sight, leaving only the round head of the Taiping Army commander. Li Zhen dragged the barrel of the gun with his left hand, held the handle of the gun with his right hand, the butt of the gun rested against his armpit, stared ahead with his head slightly lowered, and put his index finger on the trigger.
"Bang!!"
After aiming, Li Zhen used his fingers hard and pulled the trigger.
A puff of white smoke rose and bullets burst out of the air.
"Poof!"
Without any deviation, the bullet hit the head of the chief general of the Taiping army.
If you look closely, you will see a blood hole the size of a peanut in the center of your forehead. Crimson blood flowed from his forehead, terrifying and terrifying. At this moment, the face of the chief general of the Taiping Army still had an invincible look, he opened his mouth but could no longer make any sound, his body shook twice, and he fell from the war horse to the ground.
