Ling Jingyang trusted Plug Yinxi and asked Wang Mu not to beware of Plug Yinxi's sneak attack on Wuchang Mansion, and casting a cannon in Wuchang Mansion was stronger than anything.

But before Ling Jingyang left, he transferred 900 soldiers and horses from Wang Shuguang's troops back to Wuchang City and was dispatched by Wang Mu and Wang Bao, which showed that Ling Jingyang attached great importance to Wuchang Mansion.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

After arranging the defense of Wuchang Mansion, Ling Jingyang led his troops to advance towards Xiangyang Mansion, and it took the army five days to reach the border.

Seeing the arrival of his troops, Jin Sheng couldn't wait to ask Ling Jingyang for reinforcements, Ling Jingyang's troops were stronger than Jin Sheng's troops, but in the face of tens of thousands of Qing troops, they were not opponents, he asked Jin Sheng not to worry, and when Huang Degong's troops arrived at the battlefield, the three armies had the strength to compete with the Qing army.

Jin Sheng didn't seem to be able to wait, he only brought hundreds of cavalry to Ling Jingyang's military camp this time, he asked his subordinates to disperse around the periphery, and then quietly told Ling Jingyang a top-secret news.

After listening to this, Ling Jingyang showed an incredible expression on his face.

Zhang Xianzhong is dead?

It feels like a night talk, his arrival has saved many lives, even if Zhu Youzhen and Li Zicheng survived, why did Zhang Xianzhong still die as always.

"Lord Kim, is the news true?"

Jin Sheng didn't believe it at first, and the famous Zhang Xianzhong died like this.

I heard that he was sniped by the Qing army from a distance, and Zhang Xianzhong was indeed shot to death by Haoge in history, Ling Jingyang shook his head, it was a pity.

"I heard that Zhang Xianzhong was killed by Jiannu with a new type of firearm and hit his left shoulder blade with a long-distance shot, penetrating through his right chest."

This way of dying made Ling Jingyang even more frightened, isn't this just sniping with a rifle, how can Jiannu also have a Fusang rifle?

Suddenly sweating like rain, Jin Sheng saw that he was sweating profusely, and asked with concern: "Governor Lingdu, are you sick?" ”

"No, the weather is a little hotter, and in two days, General Huang will lead his troops to arrive, and immediately launch an attack to help the Great Western Army."

Jin Sheng saw that Ling Jingyang looked very good, so he didn't say anything, he and Ling Jing

Yang instructed that the news of Zhang Xianzhong's death in battle should be kept secret, if the news leaked, it would cause a serious blow to morale, and Ling Jingyang reassured him.

After Jin Sheng left, Ling Jingyang summoned a rifle platoon, a rifle platoon of fifty people, with 70 rifles and 1,400 bullets, since the Qing army could snipe Zhang Xianzhong, he would also use the rifle platoon to snipe back.

Let the rifle platoon shoot targets in actual combat these days, each person can use 20 rounds of ammunition, after the bullets are finished, the ammunition will continue to be replenished, the target training is over, and the assassination training will be carried out, so as to prepare for the Qing army.

It's just that how could the Qing army have a rifle, Ling Jingyang couldn't think of it if he wanted to break his head.

He summoned the generals and told everyone that Zhang Xianzhong might be sniped by the Qing army.

Everyone is no stranger to Zhang Xianzhong, a fierce general who has fought with the Ming Dynasty for many years, died quietly like this, or died from the sniping of the Qing army, which is more or less ironic.

Ling Jingyang asked everyone why Jiannu suddenly had a Fusang rifle, and everyone was gossiping, some said that Jiannu and Fusang people joined forces, and some people said that Jiannu might have more powerful weapons, so many people only Wanliyun said more reliable.

He believed that when the Fuso people landed on the Goryeo Peninsula, no matter how great their victory was, there would always be rifles scattered outside, and these scattered rifles would fall into the hands of Jiannu, and the importance that Jiannu attached to firearms was well known to the world.

Maybe Jiannu succeeded in imitating the rifle, he said earlier Ling Jingyang agreed, and what he said later was nonsense, this kind of manual rifle does not have complete upstream and downstream enterprises, such as steel, equipment, etc., there is no possibility of imitation.

He was inclined to the Qing army to obtain this weapon from various sources, and took the lead in using it on the battlefield in Guannei, and it achieved miraculous results, killing Zhang Xianzhong with one shot, and Ling Jingyang decided to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth and give the Qing army a more ruthless counterattack.

He asked Gao Ding's department to carry out pre-war scout operations, and after Gao Ding was reused again, he got rid of his past reckless habits, did his homework, and then let his generals go to spy on intelligence.

That night, dozens of scouts from the Gao Ding Department tried to cross the Qing army-occupied area, but they were either killed or captured by the Qing army when they crossed, and only three returned after dawn the next day, and all the others were lost, and no information was obtained.

Gao Ding blushed and reported to Ling Jingyang, listen

Jingyang also didn't expect that the Qing army's defense could be watertight, and it seemed that this time he had to do his best to fight the Qing army to have any hope of victory.

He repeatedly ordered the troops to strengthen the defense, not to be pulled out by the Qing army, and the troops and horses of all units were on guard.

On the night of the same day, Bolo ordered Wu Sangui to raid the Ming army camp.

Wu Sangui led 20,000 green battalion soldiers to launch a sneak attack on Jin Sheng and Ling Jingyang military camps in two ways, and the forty military camps of Jin Sheng's department were uprooted, and Jin Sheng was forced to withdraw. The other sneak attack troops raided the Lingjingyang military camp, but it was like kicking on a steel plate, not only did not pull out any of the Ming army's barracks, but also broke the raiding troops by the Ming army's soldiers.

Although the Qing army was defeated along the way, the Qing army's sneak attack achieved a great victory, almost crushing the entire army of the Jinsheng Division, but it was a sneak attack on the 8,000 soldiers and horses of the Qing army of the Lingjingyang Division, and more than half of the casualties were forced to withdraw.

Wu Sangui went back and Bolo returned to his life, Bolo was overjoyed and rewarded Wu Sangui, he was very interested in Wu Sangui's unsuccessful surprise attack on the Ming army, thinking that this Ming army was well-trained, and it was time for Bai Bayala to appear on the stage and snipe the Ming generals.

Similar to Ling Jingyang's formation of a rifle platoon, after seeing the power of the Fusang rifle, Dolgon used various channels, even if it was gold, to get the rifle, and with the efforts of all parties, he finally obtained a batch of Fusang rifles and bullets.

Dolgon obtained more rifles and bullets than Ling Jingyang, he selected 100 people from the elite Bai Baya of the Qing army, practiced rifles day and night, and after dozens of days of training, these Bai Baya Lama marksmanship was very accurate.

In order to experiment with the success of this army, Dolgon deliberately equipped the southbound army with fifty white bayala equipped with rifles, and sniped the enemy generals in the battle.

Until five days ago, Zhang Xianzhong led the troops to scout, and was discovered by Bai Bayala, so twenty rifles opened fire intensively, and one of the bullets hit Zhang Xianzhong, killing Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong died suddenly, the Great Western Army fell into a panic, and the internal division was almost divided, fortunately, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and other Zhang Xianzhong righteous sons, half a month ago from Ningwu Pass back to Xiangyang Mansion, at this critical moment, the four righteous sons stood up to stabilize the overall situation, and the officials who tried to split the Great Western Army were executed, and the four quickly stabilized the Great Western Army, and at the same time restored their nature and continued to resist the Qing Army.
