On the battlefield, seeing the powerlessness of the heavy artillery in front of the tank, the trenches of the Jiangbei Army suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

What the hell is this strange weapon that can withstand the direct fire of an eighteen-pounder cannon? You must know that such a cannon can even shatter the city wall, what kind of steel did the people of Fanjiazhuang use to make such a chariot so strong?

And such a sturdy chariot can actually move forward on its own, without the need for oxen and horses. This was completely beyond the comprehension of the gentry rebel soldiers.

In the words of later generations, it was the rebel soldiers' worldview that was violently impacted.

Is the king of Tianjin really descending from the stars? How could so many terrible things come out? It is said that the red-haired "Formosa-style" rifle and mortar were actually all invented by the king of Tianjin, but the red-haired man secretly learned it.

Now that the king of Tianjin has invented this impenetrable and self-moving sturdy chariot, isn't this trench defense meaningless, how can this battle be fought?

The Jiangbei Army and the local rebels were doing a rebellion with a thousand knives, and if this battle was lost, would the king of Tianjin execute all the more than 200,000 rebels?

The eyes of more than 200,000 rebels were fixed on the tanks on the battlefield, and not a single one of them spoke. The morale of the Jiangbei Army and the hundreds of thousands of local rebels seemed to have been beaten and suddenly dropped to a low point.

Behind the tank, Boss Wei's eyes widened in surprise.

In fact, Boss Wei didn't believe in the bottom of his heart that the iron lump of the tank could turn things around on the battlefield. Originally, Boss Wei was ready to flee back to the trench after the tank was destroyed by the Jiangbei Army. In his heart, Boss Wei was actually as scared as the frightened Chen Qi'er.

But Boss Wei is a man who stands up to the sky. Even though he was so afraid, he still charged with the tank with his head held high, because this was the dignity of a Tiger Warrior. Before the tank was destroyed, before the retreat order was issued, it was the Jiangbei Army that killed itself, and he could not disobey the order and flinch.

However, now on the battlefield, Boss Wei is a little unable to react.

The steam tank was extremely sharp, and it actually blocked the heavy artillery bombardment of the Jiangbei Army. The shell smashed on the tank, and not a single tank was destroyed.

The tank invented by the prince is too powerful, right?

Where did this idea come from? Why is every idea of the prince so magical and so practical?

Boss Wei's eyes widened, and he looked at the tank in front of him in surprise, and for a moment he forgot to move forward and stood on the battlefield.

Next to Boss Wei, Private Chen Qi'er also opened his mouth wide.

However, his reaction was a little faster than Boss Wei's. Seeing the heroic effect of the tank, Chen Qi'er's eyes lit up. He jerked the steel gun in his hand to his chest and shouted, "Okay! What a tank! ”

The fear of death was extinguished by the sturdiness of the tank, and Chen Qi'er suddenly became vigorous, turned around and shouted at Elder Wei: "Platoon commander! Tanks are amazing! We're going to rush! ”

Without waiting for Boss Wei to speak, Chen Qi'er shouted "rush" and rushed to the front.

Boss Wei looked at Chen Qi'er's back, and was stunned for a while, before grabbing the rifle and following.

Seeing that the tanks withstood the bombardment of the Jiangbei Army's artillery and continued to advance in the direction of the Jiangbei Army under artillery fire, a deafening cheer sounded on the position of the Tiger Army. The cheers of those tens of thousands of people were so loud that they reached the positions of the Jiangbei Army, and even the defenders of the Beijing camp on the walls of the capital heard it.

Zhong Feng was so excited that he knocked on the earthen wall of the trench, laughed, and said, "Zheng Kaicheng, look! Jiang Chong is right, our tanks can withstand the artillery of the Jiangbei Army. ”

Although Zheng Kaicheng was a little embarrassed, he didn't bother to care about it at this juncture of joy. He laughed and said, "Jiang Chong is really calculating, even this tank can withstand artillery." ”

Jiang Chong blinked and did not speak.

Zheng Kaicheng touched his goatee, and said sharply: "But this is also common sense." Who is that? When was the invented equipment not used? The prince must have thought that the Jiangbei army would bombard the tanks with artillery, and he had already prepared defensive means. But we don't know the details, so we're here to worry about it. ”

Zhong Feng laughed, patted Zheng Kaicheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't be us!" I'm not worried, you're alone. It almost affected my mood. ”

Zheng Kaicheng saw that Zhong Feng didn't save any face for himself, so he grinned helplessly. After thinking about it, Zheng Kaicheng said again: "But it's not over if you resist the heavy artillery, the Jiangbei Army still has projectile mortars." I don't know if this tank can withstand mortars. ”

Zhong Feng pursed his lips, stopped making fun of Zheng Kaicheng, and looked up at the battlefield in front of him.

In the Central Military Department of the Jiangbei Army, Shi Kefa and Wu Sangui were already frightened.

I didn't expect that Li Thief's chariot was so strong that even the Hongyi cannon couldn't penetrate it.

Shi Kefa's right hand trembled a little, looked at Wu Sangui in a panic, and said, "Uncle, the thief soldiers are sharply equipped, how can this be good?" ”

Wu Sangui didn't know what to do for a while, frowning and pondering.

The tanks were getting closer and closer, and there was only one mile left from the trenches of the Jiangbei Army. Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and said, "Although I don't know what this chariot is driven by, I don't think it can be too heavy. The armor on the front is thick, and maybe the armor on the top and sides is thin. ”

"Intensive bombardment with curved artillery!"

When Shi Kefa heard Wu Sangui's words, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! It deserves to be an uncle! ”

Shi Kefa shouted: "Mobilize the artillery to bombard the chariots of the Li thieves, and we must blow them all down in front of the trench." ”

The flag was unfurled, and Shi Kefa's order was transmitted to the entire Jiangbei Army. Nearly 1,000 warp guns were mobilized to the front of the tanks, aimed at 150 tanks, and began to charge and reload.

This mortar is a small cannon, and if a few pounds of small shells are thrown at close range, two people can operate one, and the Jiangbei Army brought 3,000 guns this time. That is, because the width of the battlefield in front of the tank is limited, it cannot place more curved guns, otherwise the Jiangbei Army may have to mobilize all the curved guns to bomb.

"Woo~"

A horn sounded, and the curved cannon was ignited by the gunner, and the cannonballs were fired with a tom.

Nearly a thousand shells were like a storm, hitting the tanks that were getting closer and closer.

The shells landed on the front and back of the tank, and the fuse gradually burned out and exploded with a bang. Nearly a thousand dazzling fireworks exploded one after another around the one hundred and fifty tanks, sending out countless dazzling shock waves and flames.

The flames from the nearly 1,000 flowering shells almost covered the front and back of the tank, leaving a cloud of billowing smoke and dust around the tank.

Seeing the bombing effect of the curved artillery, the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army regained a little confidence. They stared wide-eyed at the battlefield ahead, hoping that the warp guns would blow up all the terrible chariots.
