Chapter 54: The Decisive Battle (I)

Zhang Zhidong looked at everyone's confident appearance, and their morale was high, so he immediately ordered, "All the generals listen to the order, and you will immediately organize the army to fight." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes." Everyone said in unison, and at the same time, they were very excited in their hearts, thinking that this time they would definitely be able to make immortal contributions, and the court would definitely add titles and officials to themselves.

Subsequently, Zhang Zhidong led the army to move towards the border of the two provinces, and the army fluttered flags along the way, and the momentum of the soldiers was extremely high, which made many generals feel more confident.

At the same time, the people in the vicinity were even more dumbfounded, they had not seen such a large number of troops marching out for a long time, and they inevitably had some sympathy for Guizhou in their hearts.

But what many generals don't know is that the famous Hunan army has fallen into a dilemma, and if they learn about it, their expressions will be very exciting.

After Li Zhongju received the news of Zhang Zhidong's troops, he immediately ordered Liu Jiang and Song Naruto to pay close attention to the enemy's movements. At the same time, Li Zhongju summoned Zhang Qu, the commander of Dujiang County, and instructed him to ensure the supply of grain, grass and ammunition for the army.

After that, Li Zhongju led the town military camp to prepare for the newly built position.

Li Zhongju led the town camp to the position built in a few days, Li Zhongju believed that in the position, no matter how strong Zhang Zhidong was, he would have nothing to do with the Wu army.

Twenty miles south of Dujiang County, Li Zhongju built a position here, and the army was also stationed here.

This position was definitely the most advanced military position in the world, which could effectively prevent enemy artillery attacks, and the enemy's infantry could not attack it at all.

After all, Li Zhongju's army has very strong firepower, which is not comparable to ordinary armies, and can even be said to be the strongest army in the world.

But Li Zhongju believes that one day, the Zhenwu Army will be recognized by the whole world.

Li Zhongju sat in a large camp in the center of the position, looking at the information sent by the scouts, and smiled mysteriously in his heart. Sure enough, Zhang Zhidong still underestimated himself, and what he said was that in Zhang Zhidong's eyes, he was just a powerful turtle.

On July 5, Zhang Zhidong's army finally entered Dujiang County, Liping Prefecture, Guizhou Province, and entered Guizhou, and the army was also not hindered by Li Zhongju in the slightest. Zhang Zhidong was surprised for a while, in his impression, Li Zhongju was an arrogant person, but now he was very confused.

However, this did not prevent Zhang Zhidong's army from continuing to advance, and finally, the army entered Li Zhongju's newly built military position.

Bang, bang, bang, the artillery of the Zhenwu army that can fire twenty miles rang out, which made Zhang Zhidong's army dizzy and at a loss.

Zhang Zhidong watched in shock, the other party fired so many shells and smashed into his own army, but he had no way to stop it, so he could only let it fall.

But the mood of the army was very bad, they felt very aggrieved, and a sense of powerlessness spread in their hearts, lingering.

Li Zhongju saw through the telescope the power of the artillery fire of the Zhenwu army, which was really earth-shattering and made the enemy extremely panicked.

Liu Jiang and Song Naruto also saw everything through the telescope, and their hearts were full of infinite hope for the victory of this war.

Many soldiers looked at their general's confident smile, and they all felt that this battle should be easy to win, and the soldiers had no pressure.

Zhang Zhidong immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, ordered his own artillery to return fire, and at the same time he also took out the binoculars from his cuffs to observe the other party, but there was nothing special to find, Zhang Zhidong's heart was a little cold.

Li Zhongju found that the enemy had stopped, and Li Zhongju immediately ordered the artillery to stop firing. The distance between the two sides was less than five miles, and Li Zhongju believed that after the bombardment of Zhang Zhidong, he would order the army to rest in place and fight again another day.

Sure enough, after Zhang Zhidong shelled for half an hour, he didn't know what the result was, so he decisively chose to withdraw his troops and immediately ordered the army to camp on the spot.

Half an hour later, Zhang Zhidong's army finally returned to the camp, and under the command and persuasion of various generals and junior officers, all the soldiers finally recovered.

Zhang Zhidong also convened various generals in the Chinese army camp, and Zhang Zhidong looked at the generals compared to yesterday, and their momentum was obviously weaker than yesterday.

Zhang Zhidong sighed in his heart, on the surface, Zhang Zhidong still looked very confident, it seemed that everything was confident, which made people look unconsciously convinced.

Zhang Zhidong smiled and said, "If you think about the hundreds of cannons of our army shelling the opponent's military camp today, I am afraid that the impact will be much greater than the impact caused by the other party to us." ”

What the?

Why didn't you think of it?

The Governor is the Governor, and everything is very thoughtful.

This was the voice of all the generals present, and for a moment they rose from a faint decadence, and burst out with an astonishing momentum.

Zhang Zhidong said with a smile, "That's right, all the generals are warriors who have been fighting for more than ten years, how can they be frightened by a small Guizhou army." What about your courage back then? We will win this battle, and it will be a complete victory, and you must have this confidence. ”

"Yes, Lord Governor." The generals spoke in unison, and their voices were transmitted to the whole army through the tents.

Zhang Zhidong waved his hand, "You all go down to rest, early tomorrow morning, the army will attack, and you must take the Fengdao Mountain in front." ”

"Yes, Lord Governor." Everyone immediately withdrew from the Chinese army camp.

Zhang Zhidong looked at the north with deep eyes, but he couldn't calm down for a long time in his heart, maybe tomorrow would be the day of the decisive battle.

Li Zhongju looked at Zhang Zhidong's army, the result of the artillery bombardment, sneered again and again, as he thought, the military position he established was really extraordinary, completely blocking the enemy's artillery bombardment.

Li Zhongju looked at Liu Jiang, Song Ming, and Zhou Tiezhu excitedly, "Don't be too happy, it is estimated that the enemy army will launch a crazy attack tomorrow." As long as we block the enemy's attack tomorrow, we can counterattack, otherwise we will be a draw with the enemy at most in this war. ”

Liu Jiang and the three of them immediately put away their joy, and they were all much more cautious.

Li Zhongju continued, "For tomorrow's battle, we must have confidence in victory, you go down and tell all the brothers that no matter what the outcome of tomorrow's battle is, all soldiers will be rewarded with two taels of silver after the battle, and the casualties will be doubled. ”

"Yes, Commander." The three of them immediately took a serious path, and the three of them immediately left the big tent of the Chinese army.

Li Zhongju stood up and walked outside the house, a cold wind blew, and Li Zhongju didn't care.

Li Zhongju looked into the distance with deep eyes.

Gradually, the wind began to blow, and the sky darkened, and the clouds were thick, as if it was going to rain, and sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, it began to rain.
