A bullet took the life of the chief general of the Taiping Army.

Li Zhen was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately shouted: "The master of the bandits will be killed, killed." ”

Bandit is the name of the Taiping Army.

Li Zhen shouted loudly, and at the same time raised the bird gun in his hand to attract the attention of the soldiers around him. At this time, Wu Qigong stopped retreating and looked at Li Zhen appreciatively. Wu Qigong also knew how to beat the water dogs, and shouted loudly: "The master of the bandits will be killed, follow me to kill the bandits, and kill all the bandits." ”

When the Qing soldiers heard the news that the Taiping army leader was about to be killed, they all quickly stopped.

They didn't kill back immediately, but took a closer look at it and confirmed that the main general of the Taiping Army had really been killed, so they changed their expressions, and their bitter gourd face became radiant, and they killed it with great might. From the generals of the Qing army to the most ordinary soldiers of the Qing army, they were all majestic and high-spirited, which was diametrically opposed to the situation of fleeing just now.

The lord of the Taiping army was killed, and the army was immediately in disarray.

The soldiers lost their desperate thoughts, and when they saw the Qing army killing like wolves and tigers, they turned around and ran.

Li Zhen saw that the Taiping army was retreating and did not chase after him. He killed the chief general of the Taiping army and achieved the greatest feat, and then killing some shrimp soldiers and crab generals was just icing on the cake, and it was useless.

Wu Qigong came to Li Zhen's side happily and asked with a smile: "What is your name and what position do you hold?" ”

Li Zhen replied: "Li Zhen, who is a lowly position, is a centurion. ”

Wu Qigong said with a smile: "You have made a lot of credit for shooting the main general of the bandits, and I will personally ask for credit for you." ”

Li Zhen said happily: "It is only the general who teaches well that he can shoot the chief general of the bandits." ”

Wu Qigong bowed his head slightly and patted Li Zhen's shoulder to show encouragement. Li Zhen knew that he had entered Wu Qigong's sight, and as long as he married Wu Qigong, he would have a chance to be promoted. It is now the third year of Xianfeng, and it is less than three years before the Second Opium War, and Li Zhen wants to turn the situation around, and he has to create opportunities by himself.

Wu Qi's army pursued and killed the Taiping army, but soon withdrew its troops and began to clean up the battlefield.

In a battle, the Taiping army suffered more than 3,600 casualties and more than 1,600 soldiers were captured. However, the Qing soldiers also suffered more than 1,800 casualties, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

Wu Qi's army returned, and halfway through the news was transmitted back to Jiangbei Camp and reported to Qishan.

When the army arrived at the gate of the camp, Li Zhen found an old man over half a hundred years old standing outside the camp. This person's official uniform is obviously different from that of ordinary soldiers, and the official uniform is embroidered with a crane, which is the official uniform only available to the first-class officials of the dynasty. In the entire Jiangbei camp, only Qi Shan, the minister of the Qin Mission, was a first-class official, and Li Zhen concluded that the old man was Qi Shan.

"The last general, Wu Qigong, meet your lord."

Wu Qigong came to Qi Shan's side and knelt down on one knee to salute.

Qi Shan helped Wu Qigong up with a smile, and said unhurriedly: "Qigong, you led the army to fight, defeated the bandits, and boosted the prestige of our army. ”

As soon as Wu Qigong stood up, he immediately knelt down again, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your cultivation!" ”

Qi Shan raised his hands weakly, and Wu Qigong stood up again.

Wu Qigong turned his eyes, pointed to Li Zhen beside him, and said respectfully: "My lord, this time you can defeat the bandits, and Li Zhen, the centurion under the command of the last general, is indispensable." Li Zhen's marksmanship is exquisite, and he takes the head of the enemy general within 100 steps. It was precisely because Li Zhen shot the head of the bandit commander that he was able to win smoothly. ”

Li Zhen hurriedly saluted and bowed: "Humble Li Zhen, I have seen an adult." ”

Qi Shan glanced at Li Zhen and said: "He is strong and burly, his cheeks are angular, his eyes are radiant, and he has a fierce spirit, he is a talent that can be cultivated." ”

Li Zhen bowed again and humbled himself.

Wu Qigong was overjoyed in his heart, and ordered: "Come on, bring the head of the leader of the bandits." ”

In a few moments, the soldier took the head of the Taiping army commander. Wu Qigong took the bloody head, shook it in front of Qi Shan's eyes, and said with a smile: "My lord, this is the head of the bandit general, and there is a bloody hole in his head. ”

"Ahh

Qi Shan suddenly exclaimed, his eyes widened, and a trace of panic flashed on his face.

Li Zhen observed the words and looks, and found that Qi Shan's expression changed, and he chuckled in his heart, and a bad premonition rose. Because Qi Shan's expression was not fear, but a hint of worry.

There must be something strange in this.

Wu Qigong thought that Qi Shan was frightened, so he hurriedly threw his bloody head to the soldier and said, "My lord, the bandits do all kinds of evil, and only severe punishment can deter the bandits." The last general proposed that the head of the bandit be hung at the gate of the camp for three days. ”

Qi Shan said in a deep voice: "Place the soldiers and prisoners, and then bring Li Zhen to the big tent to discuss matters." ”

Li Zhen felt even more strange when he heard Qi Shan's tone.

Li Zhen was just a centurion under Wu Qigong, and his official position was humble. Even if he has made great contributions, he is still a petty official who is not in the stream, and he is not qualified to enter the account. Qi Shan asked Wu Qigong to bring him along, which is likely to be related to the bandits. Li Zhen even guessed in his heart that the identity of the bandit was not ordinary, which made Qi Shan's expression change.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Qi Shan sat on top with a solemn expression.

Below, on the left and right sits the generals of the army.

Li Zhen was not qualified to sit and stood quietly behind Wu Qigong. Wu Qigong found that the atmosphere was not right, and his heart was also up and down. But Wu Qigong didn't understand that defeating the Taiping army was in the interests of Jiangbei Camp and Qishan, why was the atmosphere so solemn? Wu Qigong's eyes rolled, and he asked tentatively, "My lord, is there something wrong?" ”

Qi Shan asked, "You led the troops to fight with the bandits, have you ever inquired about the identity of the other party?" ”

Wu Qigong shook his head and said, "Lord Hui, I don't know who the other party is." ”

Li Zhen shook his head secretly in his heart, a leading general didn't know the other party's situation, it was strange. It is really strange that such a general occupies an important position.

Qi Shan stared at Wu Qigong, his face was devoid of joy, and he said with a serious expression: "This official told you that the name of the bandit who was killed was Yang Zhengqing, and he was the younger brother of the bandit king Yang Xiuqing. ”

"Yang Xiuqing's brother?"

Wu Qigong looked overjoyed and said, "My lord, isn't it good to kill Yang Xiuqing?" ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he really wanted to make a hole and get into it.

Everyone's eyes shot at Wu Qigong, and Li Zhen felt that his cheeks were slightly hot. The person who died was the younger brother of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, and Qi Shan's worries were also revealed. Yang Zhengqing was killed, and Yang Xiuqing probably sent troops to attack the Jiangbei camp. Qi Shan really needs a victory to boost the morale of the army, but Yang Zhengqing was killed, and Qi Shan is difficult to deal with the aftermath.

Qi Shan glared at Wu Qigong, looked at the rest of the generals, and said, "Yang Zhengqing was killed, Yang Xiuqing is likely to send troops to kill, what do you think?" ”

When the words fell, the quiet tent immediately made a commotion.

The generals in the army shook their heads and sighed, and they all looked at Wu Qigong blamedly.

Wu Qigong's body was stiff, as if he was smiling, and he was extremely embarrassed. finally made a great achievement, but picked up a hot potato. Wu Qigong sighed softly in his heart, but he didn't blame Li Zhen, stood up and said: "My lord, Yang Zhengqing has been killed, if Yang Xiuqing sends bandits to kill, he will be able to stop him." ”

Li Zhen saw that Wu Qigong was committed wholeheartedly, and he also had a good impression of Wu Qigong.

This person is incapable, and his character is not bad.
