Chapter 238: Joy and Sorrow
Wu Qigong's words are too lethal and chilling.
Li Xiucheng's heart hung and hung in mid-air, and the generals and soldiers around him were also frightened. Li Zhen's name is also famous in the impression of these Taiping soldiers.
Not only did Li Zhen defeat foreigners in a row, but Li Zhen defeated Li Xiucheng. No matter how unwilling Li Xiucheng was, in short, he was defeated by Li Zhen, which caused the soldiers in the army to think that Li Zhen was more powerful and terrifying than Li Xiucheng.
"Kick! Step on!! ”
One by one, the Taiping troops retreated one after another, and Li Xiucheng was also extremely nervous and nervous.
However, Li Xiucheng didn't believe it in his bones.
On the hillside, Li Zhen held a sniper rifle in his hand and hid in the mountains and forests without saying a word. Lu Shaochuan and Smith were about to give the order to shoot, but Li Zhen stretched out his hand to stop him, so that all the soldiers were not allowed to act rashly. In this way, there is no sound around the surroundings. Under the light of the torches, the Tianshi Valley was as bright as day.
The trees are so dense that it's impossible to see clearly.
Li Xiucheng waited for a while, and when he saw that the surroundings were still quiet, he thought that this was Wu Qigong's intention. Li Xiucheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, pointed at Wu Qigong, and laughed: "Wu Qigong, Wu Qigong, the general knows that you have no way to escape, and deliberately shouts Li Zhen's name to scare the general away." Don't say it's your bluff, even if Li Zhen comes in person, he will not be afraid! ”
As Li Xiucheng's words came out, the surrounding soldiers were also relieved.
Listen quietly, you can clearly hear a long exhalation.
Li Xiucheng breathed a sigh of relief, but Wu Qigong became nervous. Wu Qigong saw that the two sides of Tianshi Valley were quiet, and his heart was pounding and beating, extremely nervous. At this time, Wu Qigong suddenly felt that it must be that Li Zhen had not arrived yet, or that Li Zhen really did not come, and deliberately sent him to death.
Wu Qigong was in a low mood, but he still didn't believe it, and shouted: "Li Zhen, come out quickly, I will bring Li Xiucheng here." ”
The voice was sharp and poignant, like the sound of a broken gong.
However, Wu Qigong was disappointed again. The two sides of Tianshi Valley were still quiet, and after doing this twice in a row, Wu Qigong's heart had sunk to the bottom. The more than 100 soldiers around were also sad in their hearts, they excitedly led Li Xiucheng to Tianshi Valley and used their lives to complete the task, but Li Zhen played them, and the mood can be imagined.
"Hahaha......"
When Li Xiucheng saw that Wu Qigong insisted that Li Zhen was coming, a bad feeling rose in his heart, but there was obviously no Li Zhen around, so he shouted loudly: "Wu Qigong, you are crazy, you are deliberately pretending to be crazy." ”
Wu Qigong was indeed crazy, his face was red with anger, and his anger was extreme.
"Lord Commander, Li Zhen didn't come, let's surrender."
Seeing that there was no way to escape, one of the generals immediately had the intention of surrendering. Before Wu Qigong could make a decision on whether to surrender or not, some soldiers in the army knelt on the ground with a thud and shouted surrender.
The corners of Li Xiucheng's mouth hooked up a cruel smile, and shouted: "Shoot and shoot, don't leave a single one!" ”
The voice fell, and Li Xiucheng retreated to the army.
The chasing bandits raised their guns and shot, and the messy gunshots rang out, and a particle bullet flew out and shot into the body of the Manchu soldiers, blood splashed everywhere, and immediately there were bursts of terrible screams. Wu Qigong and the remaining more than 100 soldiers resisted and fought with all their might. Since there is no way to live, you have to fight no matter what.
The sound of gunfire resounded through the mountains, and the soldiers under Wu Qigong's command fell one after another.
Li Xiucheng's soldiers were also killed, but very few died.
Li Zhen was hiding in the mountains and forests, and seeing that the soldiers under Wu Qigong's command were dying more and more, he ordered: "Smith, you take the soldiers outside the valley to stop Li Xiucheng's soldiers from retreating. Lu Shaochuan, you shoot with a gun. Zhu Wu, you took the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion to snipe the main general of the bandits. Remember, Lee so-sung had to stay and not shoot at him. ”
Lu Shaochuan said: "Marshal, the soldiers shoot indiscriminately, maybe they will kill Li Xiucheng." ”
Li Zhen said: "You can't kill it, I can use this person." ”
Li Zhen ignored Lu Shaochuan and directly ordered: "Go and prepare immediately, I will launch an attack after shooting." ”
The three of them got the order, and they all went to prepare.
By the time Li Zhen had his soldiers prepare, the battle in the valley was nearing its end. There were only a few dozen soldiers left under Wu Qigong's command, but the soldiers under Li Xiucheng's command were black and oppressive, and they were not affected at all. Wu Qigong was shot in the shoulder and was also injured, and roared with a hideous face: "Li Zhenxiaoer, I missed my life, Lao Tzu will not let you go if you are a ghost!" ”
There was endless hatred on that hideous and terrifying face, and Wu Qigong only hated Li Zhen alone.
If Li Zhen hadn't deceived him, there would have been no such end.
Li Zhen hid above the valley, a look of pain flashed in his eyes, which was quickly replaced by a resolute look.
It is true that Wu Qigong once helped him, but it was Wu Qigong who needed Li Zhen.
The most important thing is that Li Zhen wants to weaken the power of the Manchus and make the Manchu forces suffer a devastating blow, and the Jiangbei camp is one of them. Moreover, Wu Qigong and Li Zhen were not in the same boat, Wu Qigong was loyal to the Manchus, but Li Zhen wanted to overthrow the Manchus. As the saying goes, Li Zhen and Wu Qigong will inevitably have a conflict, so they can only abandon Wu Qigong.
The muzzle of the gun was aimed at a soldier next to Li Xiucheng, and Li Zhen pulled the trigger.
"Bang!!"
The gunshot rang out, and the soldiers beside Li Xiucheng didn't even have time to make a sound, and collapsed directly to the ground.
This situation was not enough to alert Li Xiucheng, after all, Wu Qigong was still resisting. However, as Li Zhen opened fire, torches suddenly lit up on the left and right sides of the valley, and gunshots rang out. The soldiers of a regiment under Lu Shaochuan opened fire, full of vitality. The speed at which these soldiers could reload their bullets was not as fast as Li Zhen's, but they far exceeded Li Xiucheng's soldiers.
"It's the Qing army, it's really Li Zhen who is here, and we were ambushed."
"It's not good, get out of here!"
"We have been tricked, Li Zhen is really ambushed in the valley, what should we do?"
……
Gunshots rang out, and the morale of the army was in turmoil. Bullets flew indiscriminately, and screams continued one after another. One by one, the soldiers fell, all of them with bullets in their bodies. Not only that, but the generals under Li Xiucheng's command were sniped by the special forces of the Sharp Knife Battalion, even if the light was dim, the torches in the valley were burning, the light was bright, and they could aim at the target.
"General, retreat!"
The bearded general shouted, and as soon as the voice fell, he fell to the ground. Li Xiucheng looked back and found that there was a blood hole in the bearded man's temple, and blood was gushing out, which was extremely terrifying. Li Xiucheng looked around and found that the soldiers were scurrying around, and they were already in chaos. Li Xiucheng knew that he was really ambushed this time, and decisively shouted: "Retreat, retreat immediately!" ”
Li Xiucheng retreated, and the soldiers under Lu Shaochuan shot fiercely.
Under the suppression of heavy firepower, the soldiers under Li Xiucheng's command suffered more and more casualties. Li Zhen loaded the bullets, aimed at the generals in Li Xiucheng's army, and kept shooting, shooting and killing one general after another. When the grassroots generals in these armies are killed, the army loses the people who stabilize the morale of the army, which makes it even more difficult for the soldiers in the army to restrain themselves.
"Retreat, get out!"
Li Xiucheng felt bitter in his heart and kept retreating.
However, Li Xiucheng also knew that since Li Zhen had laid an ambush, it must be difficult to escape. At this time, Li Xiucheng had a feeling of joy and sorrow in his heart, he was full of ambition a moment ago, but now he is as embarrassed as a dog.
Wu Qigong was ready to be killed, but he didn't expect Li Zhen to kill again. However, Wu Qigong still could not forgive Li Zhen, because the dead soldiers could not survive.
