Chapter 137: Rivals
"yes, haven't you lost yet?"
Li Zhe had already led his soldiers to gather in front of the Qianji Hall from all directions, and found a large array of Japanese troops in front of this square, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Old guy, this is really a head show.
Did he think he would obediently fight this kind of stupid battle with him here?
He Li Zhe is not stupid!
Li Zhe's sharpshooters had already climbed the eaves to surround the Qianji Hall from all sides, condescending and with a wide field of vision, and his guys even wanted to carry all the artillery to the city gate, but later gave up only because it was too heavy.
Rao is like this, and his subordinates have already moved all the artillery in the general, dozens of large and small artillery, all of which have been moved, which not only obstructs the steps in front of the courtyard of the Qianji Palace, the rows are neat, and the muzzles of the guns are all facing the Japanese troops in the square.
In this square, the space is narrow, and there is no room to hide, nearly a thousand Japanese troops are lined up in an array here, is this a live target for the artillery under his Li Zhe to practice?
Wang Yu also saw the movement on Li Zhe's side, when he saw that there were so many artillery pieces in an army, his face turned pale, after all, he was experienced, as soon as he saw this scene, he knew that his hope of holding on to the big array was shattered, this artillery was nothing else, so many artillery salvos were enough to turn this square into a hell of flames. No matter how strong the Japanese army is, it is impossible to block this steel projectile.
Whose subordinates are this, how can there be so many artillery. In a hurry, who could bring in so many artillery.
It wasn't until Wang Yu saw Li Zhe in the crowd that he immediately understood, was he? No wonder, it turned out to be him, I'm afraid that only he who created the shocking theory of winning with firepower would be equipped with so many artillery pieces in the army at any cost! The concentrated use of artillery in front of him is the best example of Li Zhe's theory of winning with firepower.
Thinking that in the Northern Expedition a few days ago, he tried his best to help Li Zhe, but he accidentally made Li Zhe even more famous on the battlefield, and then after he came back, as a prince, he also regarded Li Zhe as an enemy, but he didn't expect to be hit by Li Zhe's backhand and slaughter Lu Xuan!
This person doesn't know if it's his Wang Yu's nemesis, why Wang Yu was restrained by Li Zhe every time he came to Li Zhe, and this time he was beaten to the palace by Li Zhe with his army, ending his Wang Yu's plot.
Wang Yu could feel Li Zhejun's needle-like determination across the entire square, which formed a strong contrast with the kind of old age that was invisibly dispersed although he was in a tight formation.
Wang Yu remembered the first time he saw Li Zhe, Li Zhe at that time was so young, full of the kind of vitality that belonged to young people, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, even Shangguan Lu Xuan made things difficult in every way, and he couldn't stop the terrible sharpness on Li Zhe's body until the end.
The colonel read that Li Zhe was so dazzling, and he was able to defeat the strongest cavalry battalion under him by leading a group of ordinary firecrackers, and at that time, he was also deeply concerned about this young man who was like the god of war.
But when did Wang Yu always feel that he couldn't get used to this pride of the sky, because of his own selfishness? Or is it because Li Zhe saw a bright light that even he couldn't hide.
Li Zhe engaged in those so-called innovations, Wang Yu himself in private has carefully studied, firepower to win, volley shooting, no matter at all times to ensure the maximum output of the enemy, I have to say, the argument is rigorous, the reasoning is clear, vaguely there seems to be some kind of terrible power hidden in it.
This power heralds the change of the times, and the pattern of warfare that is about to be subverted. The phalanx that they have pondered all their lives and practiced all their lives is incompatible with the war under this concept.
The phalanx was indeed very effective against most of the enemies who were still in the era of cold weapons, but in the face of Li Zhejun's large number of artillery, grenades and flintlock pistols, it immediately showed that it was backward, and between him and Li Zhe, one was old, one was new, one was conservative and old, and the other was determined to forge ahead, which was simply a natural opponent.
Now he finally understands why he and Li Zhe have finally come to this point, it is because they are born to represent two different forces, two kinds of-for-tat enemies during the change of the era, and he has always had a faint premonition in his heart that sooner or later he will be eliminated by people like Li Zhe, so he will resolutely step on the chariot of the princes. Become the last reliance of the princes.
Now, this day has finally come, and he finally has to face Li Zhe on the battlefield, but unfortunately the worst thing is that this battlefield is so unfavorable for him.
The phalanx is invincible on the plain, but in this small square, there is no room to move left and right, in this case, the power of the artillery can be greatly increased, and his phalanx is not in danger.
"Onward! Forward" he pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed the long sword forward, and commanded his officers and soldiers to march against Li Zhejun's artillery array.
"Old guy, I finally know that in the face of absolute long-range firepower, it is useless to defend oneself," the Japanese army was forced by Li Zhe to take the initiative to attack. On the battlefield, the artillery, which is an inch long and an inch strong, and has a range far beyond that of a firecracker, is definitely the master of the battlefield at this time.
In a short distance of only a few hundred meters, a regiment of Japanese soldiers fell in front of the approaching steps, and at such a close distance, the lethality of the artillery was increased to the maximum.
The steel projectiles bounced on the bluestone slabs in the square, wading out of countless bloody alleys, and the armor on the Japanese soldiers was broken, deformed, shattered, and turned into scattered fragments under the power of the metal projectiles, bringing a terrible second kill to the dense formation of the surrounding stations.
The Japanese soldiers were hit by near-destruction on the way to the stairs, and the officers of the Japanese army had heard from Li Zhe about the severity of countless artillery strikes, but none of them made them feel the terrible damage.
Blood was everywhere in the square, and the Japanese army lost one-third of its soldiers in a blink of an eye, and this was only the damage of two salvos of artillery, which showed the power of Li Zhe's cluster artillery tactics in this situation.
In the face of this kind of blow, death seems to have no end forever, and when he was about to approach the front of the stage, who knew that several rows of firecrackers suddenly rushed out of the stage, standing in front of the stage, condescendingly, and releasing guns one after another.
Blood splashed in front of the stage, and this time it brought these Japanese soldiers a feeling of complete despair.
Just when the Japanese army and Wang Yu were all in a deep state of despair, suddenly, there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves at the left side door of the square, and a group of cavalry rushed in from outside the door.
