The next day the clouds dispersed, the rain stopped, and the wind stopped. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Zhidong really led the army and began to advance towards the position of the Zhenwu army, this time Li Zhongju did not order an artillery attack, Li Zhongju was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to make the enemy army can only advance but not retreat.
Li Zhongju had already set up a relatively complete plan.
But Zhang Zhidong could not have known, and he ordered the army to advance. However, when the army was less than two miles away from the position of Li Zhongju's army, Li Zhongju really ordered the artillery to concentrate on firing on a mountain peak that had been prepared long ago.
Boom, with a loud bang, the entire mountain peak fell in response.
Zhang Zhidong and the others were full of shock in their hearts, the entire mountain peak nearly 100 meters high was actually bombarded by the opponent's artillery, although this mountain was easily bombarded, but it would not be collapsed by the opponent so quickly.
Zhang Zhidong looked at the morale of the army a little low, and his heart sank, Li Zhongju was forcing himself to attack with all his strength, and success or failure was in one move. Even if he didn't attack with all his might, Li Zhongju would definitely jam the army on food.
After all, the food of Zhang Zhidong's army is still in the barracks three miles later, and the army only brings one day's rations, although the weapons and ammunition are sufficient, but the soldiers who have no energy can do it, everyone knows it. Now that the back road of the army has been blocked, Zhang Zhidong understands that he can only break the kettle.
But Zhang Zhidong didn't have much pressure in his heart, and in his eyes, with an army of 30,000, he could still easily take down Li Zhongju's army. Li Zhongju did this, in the eyes of Zhang Zhidong, it was undoubtedly self-defeating.
Zhang Zhidong immediately ordered the army to advance at full speed, and in less than a moment, the front army was less than half a mile away from Li Zhongju's army. Jang immediately ordered the army to attack.
The terrain here is relatively flat, and Zhang Zhidong's army can completely stand by dozens of people, and hundreds of artillery pieces are pushed by many soldiers to advance in the direction of Li Zhongju's army.
Li Zhongju used the telescope to see all this very clearly, and his heart was suddenly happy, he understood that his side had won half of this war.
Li Zhongju saw that the enemy's army was about to pounce, and immediately ordered the army to attack.
Boom, boom, bang,......
For a time, the sound of artillery, gunfire, shouts of killing, and screams filled the battlefield, making people unbearable to look at directly.
The Zhenwu army was not afraid of sacrifice, dared to fight and fight, and for a time the Liangguang training army was very unexpected, and the generals who trained the army went to the forefront and began to personally lead the army to attack the position of the Zhenwu army.
Although there were many generals and even junior officers in the training army who frantically attacked the positions of the Zhenwu army, they were firmly blocked by the dense guns and bullets of the Zhenwu army, and there was no possibility of breaking through.
Zhang Zhidong was very anxious in the rear, but he didn't have a good way, so he could only bite the bullet and order the army to attack the position of the Zhenwu army even more frantically.
The training army is really not comparable to the green battalion, if the green battalion is afraid that in front of such a powerful army as the Zhenwu army, it will have no ambition at all, thinking about how to survive, or how to escape, instead of obeying the orders of the superiors and going desperately.
Zhang Zhidong believed that the other party definitely didn't have too much ammunition, so Zhang Zhidong decided to fight Li Zhongju to the end. Zhang Zhidong decided to fight with the other party to see which side had more ammunition.
What Zhang Zhidong didn't know was that Li Zhongju had a super battleship and could exchange for various weapons and ammunition at any time, otherwise he would not have chosen to fight with Li Zhongju for the supply of ammunition.
A soldier of the Zhenwu Army, holding the rifle in his hand tightly with both hands, slightly closed his left eye, aimed at a training soldier, and pulled the trigger. Bang, in an instant, the training soldier fell, and there was no chance to stand up.
This happened in many places. Seeing Zhang Zhidong's heart beating, he was extremely shocked.
The battle of the training army is strong, but they encounter the most powerful Zhenwu army in the world today, so no matter how brave they are, it will not help.
However, how could Zhang Zhidong easily admit defeat, Zhang Zhidong was already a little crazy, "Order all artillery to shoot at the opponent's position for Bentu, and drop all the shells." ”
Immediately, his own guards passed down Zhang Zhidong's order, and in an instant, several generals began to carry out Governor Zhang Zhidong's order.
Hundreds of artillery began to bombard the position of the Zhenwu army indiscriminately, booming, the sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the dust flew all over the sky, so that Zhang Zhidong and the others could not see what was happening in the opponent's position at all.
But Zhang Zhidong didn't care at this time, and the generals had to follow the order of Governor Zhang Zhidong to absolutely shoot all the shells.
However, they would never have thought that at this time, the opponent's army Zijin hid in the hole under Li Zhongju's order, no matter how much you shelled, it would not work, after all, the artillery power of the training army was not very great.
The soldiers of the Zhenwu Army were munching on dried meat and dry food and drinking water in the cave at this time, and at the same time, they also laughed at the training of the Liangguang army. Laugh at them for being fools, doing such useless things, and wasting so many shells in vain.
Finally, an hour later, Jang Zhidong's army fired all the shells.
After a few minutes, the dust slowly dissipated, Zhang Zhidong took a telescope to look at the position of the Zhenwu Army, and found that the position of the Zhenwu Army was full of devastation and miserable.
Zhang Zhidong immediately excitedly ordered the army to drive towards the position of the Zhenwu army at full speed.
All the training troops were extremely excited, they were very happy, or their own artillery was powerful, they had almost destroyed the enemy, as long as they entered the enemy position and slaughtered wildly.
But Lian Jun would never have imagined that the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army were now like a pack of hungry wolves waiting for their attack.
But Lian Jun would never have imagined that the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army were now like a pack of hungry wolves waiting for their attack.
All the Zhenwu troops held their breath and were ready to give the enemy a thunderous blow, so that the enemy army could thoroughly see the military might of the Zhenwu army.
Li Zhongju looked at the more than 200 artillery pieces neatly placed around him, and felt a little proud in his heart. Li Zhongju watched the enemy army rush up happily, and Li Zhongju's eyes instantly became cold.
"Hit!"
With Li Zhongju's military order issued.
Boom, boom, boom......
More than 200 artillery pieces barely had short shots, and many infantry also showed their heads out of the battle lane and began to shoot wildly.
Yes! Yes! Yes! ……
A miserable cry made the enemy's heart ache, and Lian Jun didn't expect that the other party still had such a powerful combat power, and for a while a sense of regret came to his heart, should he not come to Guizhou to see this war.
All the training troops even had doubts about themselves, and even began to wonder if Governor Zhang Zhidong had done something wrong.
As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain, and there is no return.
