Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 290 Sniping Zhang Xianzhong
Zhang Xianzhong is a tyrannical character, with skills and ability, but also ruthless.

Such a person has 60 troops in his hands, and he is also handing over his sphere of influence. Naturally, Tangning must be careful.

However, the new army's main enemy was always the Qing court, and Zhang Xianzhong was still behind, so Tangning could only focus on the Qing court first.

Zhang Xianzhong can only be monitored and appeased first, and the most important thing is to monitor, so that when he has any unruly intentions, timely measures can be taken to deal with it.

Otherwise, once such a person destroys it, it will be very terrifying.

Now, Zhang Xianzhong has finally made up his mind to negotiate with the Hongguang regime and prepares to attack Ying Tianfu. The confrontation between the two sides is inevitable.

It was too late to ask Tangning for instructions, Song Yunshu directly agreed to the staff's plan, because Tangning had already explained to her before marching into Liaodong.

The first thing Zhang Xianzhong did when he returned to Sichuan was to rectify military affairs and prepare supplies.

Before he sent troops to Shaanxi, he only used about [-] troops. After all, in order to fight against the new army, the Qing court had already mobilized a large number of troops from Shaanxi, leaving Shaanxi's defense empty.

It's different now, he wants to change the target to Huguang, Huguang is strong, with more than [-] troops.

Among them, more than [-] troops belonged to the original Dashun Army, who had surrendered to the new army, and there were also [-] troops from Huguang Governor He Tengjiao.

The new army didn't know that He Tengjiao had secretly returned to Emperor Hongguang in the north.

Zhang Xianzhong naturally knew the conflict between He Tengjiao and Shunjun. At first, Shunjun was the first to seek refuge with He Tengjiao.

As a result, after Tang Ning defeated Azig and captured Yingtian Mansion, the Shun army quickly changed their appearance and was recruited by the new army.

This kind of thing, no matter who it happened to, must be shameless.

What's more, He Tengjiao was also a minister during the Hongguang regime, and was under the governorship of Huguang. It is understandable that Hongguang Emperor regained the throne at this time, and it is understandable to return.

As long as Huguang is successfully captured, and then to Yingtianfu, there will be a lot of access. As long as Duoduo and other Qing troops in Jiangbei hold back the new army, Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Army will be able to attack Nanzhili like a broken bamboo.

He was not afraid that Duoduo and the Qing army would not do their best, as long as the Manchus dared to play tricks, Zhang Xianzhong would dare to quickly return to Sichuan, and then we would see who would suffer more.

After successfully arriving in Nanzhili, Fang Guoan, Wang Zhiren and others will also raise troops to respond. It should not be difficult to take Yingtianfu City with a huge force advantage.

At that time, Zhang Xianzhong will be able to sit on half of the south of the Yangtze River instead of nesting in Sichuan.

Even if he became the emperor in Sichuan, it would be similar to the name of the king of Shu. If he seized half of the country, it would be completely different, and he would be the real emperor.

Of course, not all the veterans of the Hongguang Dynasty were willing to return to Emperor Hongguang, such as Qin Liangyu, who explicitly rejected Emperor Hongguang's request.

This time when entering Huguang, we must be careful to guard against Qin Liangyu of Shizhu.

I thought that Qin Liangyu's white soldiers were transferred away by Tang Ning, and there would be an opportunity to take advantage of Tang Ning's expedition to Liaodong to pull out the thorn in Shi Zhu's side.

Unexpectedly, stealing chickens won't cost you a lot of rice, and they attacked Shizhu several times, but they all failed miserably.

Because the stone pillars have built dark forts in many important places, and the magic soldiers of the new army are arranged inside, so many people cannot rush through.

In desperation, he had no choice but to extinguish his thoughts of capturing the stone pillars. This time when he went out to attack Huguang, he could only bypass the stone pillars, but he had to prevent white soldiers from coming out of the stone pillars to attack the rear.

Therefore, it is still necessary to send heavy troops to closely monitor it.

Because of this, Zhang Xianzhong did not dare to neglect, he wanted to mobilize the main force of the Great Western Army to march eastward, and win the victory with thunderous momentum, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

The most supportive of his intention to move eastward is naturally the eldest son Kewang, so Zhang Xianzhong handles many important matters with the eldest son Kewang.

On May [-]th, a group of Daxi Army put martial law on both sides of the main street of Chengdu Mansion. Hundreds of Daxi Army stood on both sides of the street with weapons in hand, in case people suddenly ran into their Daxi King.

A group of generals including Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang rode slowly past on tall horses. In front of them was a group of infantry clearing the way, and behind them were generals and personal guards on horses.

Behind it was followed by a large group of infantry, which not only reflected the majesty of King Daxi, but also ensured the safety of King Daxi and the generals.

The people on both sides of the street knelt on the ground, not daring to lift their heads, and were respectful.

Even in order to show their respect for King Daxi, residents on both sides of the street came to the street to greet him. It would be disrespectful to find someone upstairs.

After all, the emperor is aloof, how can ordinary people be higher than himself.

However, there are exceptions to everything. On the second floor of a pharmacy facing the street, there is a slightly opened window gap, and a pair of eyes staring into the distance behind it.

From time to time, he would use the binoculars to observe until he nodded slightly, then turned around and whispered in the ear of a thin young man behind him for a while.

The thin young man nodded to express his understanding, and immediately went up to the third floor.

He came to a corner of the third floor, picked up a stick by the wall, and stabbed it at the top plank several times regularly.

With a creak, a square wooden board flipped up, revealing a square entrance for one person to enter.

It turned out that there was a hidden small attic above, and there were no stairs, so a ladder was needed. The thin young man moved over the ladder he had prepared earlier, and quickly climbed up.

"How?" Seeing the thin young man coming up, a voice asked. It turned out that the small attic was not empty, and there were two other people inside.

The thin young man did not answer immediately, but carefully removed a piece of wood from the east side of the attic, and a cloud of dust fell down. Obviously, this place has not been opened for some time.

The planks were removed, revealing a small window immediately.

The thin young man moved another body, and took off another wooden board at another position next to it.

Then he said: "The target is at the front. The one riding the black horse is Zhang Xianzhong, wearing a red-capped felt hat. On his right side, a few feet behind him is Sun Kewang..."

The thin young man described the characteristics of the target in detail, and then said: "The meaning of the superior, this time our target is mainly these two people, Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang. We can only succeed and not fail."

The two snipers nodded, assigned a target each, and then immediately entered their respective shooting positions, which were exactly the two windows opened just now.

The reason why the window is opened one step earlier is because the target has not yet arrived, and there are not many people paying attention here, so opening it one step earlier will attract even less attention.

The sound outside is getting louder and louder, obviously the target is approaching here.

Due to the street, if you want to ambush, you can only be in the houses on both sides of the street. This has to consider the problem of the angle of fire. If the distance is too far, let alone the angle of fire is small, you can't even see the target.

So, first wait for the target to come into view before thinking about when to shoot.

"The target came into view, the distance is 85 feet..." The sniper on the left of the thin young man said lightly, the muzzle of the gun moved slowly with the movement of the target.

"The target has entered the field of vision, the distance is about 85 feet..." The sniper on the right of the thin young man also said, and the muzzle of the gun was always locked on the target.

"The distance is still a bit far, and the angle is a bit small. If you want to hit it with one hit, wait..." the thin young man said.

Several people began to wait patiently.
