In the trench of the Beijing Camp New Army in Wuqing County on the middle road, Yang Guozhu grabbed his broadsword, his eyes blood red.
Yang Guozhu never expected that the battle situation would be like this.
The 60,000-strong Beijing-based new army, equipped with new Mini rifles and cannons, was supposed to be the leading armed force of this era, but it was defeated by Li Zhi's infantry fighting vehicles.
One hundred infantry fighting vehicles were like a hundred gods of death, rushing across the battlefield at a speed of 18 kilometers per hour, smashing Yang Guozhu's troops into a mess. The so-called straight-fire artillery had no chance to fire calmly. All those who walked out of the trenches
The new troops in the Beijing camp all looked at the infantry fighting vehicles on the battlefield with wide-open panic eyes, looking at the high-speed rotating Gatling machine guns, being chased by the infantry fighting vehicles like the god of plague.
There are also brave soldiers who grab Beijing camp's unique explosive shells and rush towards infantry fighting vehicles, trying to blow up these invincible war machines with human flesh and gunpowder. However, in the face of machine guns that fire 130 rounds per minute, human beings are simply too powerful.
He became insignificant and was beaten into a sieve in an instant.
Yang Guozhu coughed violently. He could not understand what he was seeing.
Yang Guozhu is fifty-eight years old. He chased Gao Yingxiang in Shaanxi and Henan, followed Lu Xiangsheng in Beizhili, fought with Li Zicheng in Huguang, and fought bloody battles with Huang Taiji in Jinzhou. The fish-scale armor on his body has experienced countless blood
And fire, I don’t know how many times it has been repaired.
The shiny and white parts of the fish scale armor are the new ones that have been repaired, while the dark and black parts are the old armor pieces. This set of armor with old and new armor pieces intertwined was nicknamed "beggar's armor" by Yang Guozhu's soldiers, and became
A unique one in Beijing.
But Yang Guozhu didn't care about this title at all. Instead, he was extremely proud of having such a set of armor that had experienced many battles.
However, at this time, the beggar armor on Yang Guozhu was shaking violently, making an uncontrollable metal collision sound.
The soldiers around the rebel general looked at Yang Guozhu in panic.
Not only did Yang Guozhu keep coughing, he could no longer control his body and was shaking violently in the trench. The snow-white hair under the old man's helmet was very dazzling, coupled with the blood-red eyes and trembling body, they formed a
A despairing picture.
This is a scene that no subordinate soldier wants to see.
Yang Guozhu couldn't help but tremble. In front of him were more than a hundred invincible infantry tanks. These tanks were like Pangu Chiyou in ancient mythology, turning the Beijing recruits holding rifles into pigs and sheep that were slaughtered at will. Every second
By the end of the day, hundreds of new troops from the Beijing camp fell under the flames of machine guns, with blood flowing all over the ground.
What's even more frightening is the feeling of powerlessness brought about by being completely unable to kill the enemy.
The artillerymen who broke out of the trench also tried to use their cannons to attack the approaching infantry fighting vehicles, but the result was completely ineffective. Not to mention that it was extremely difficult for the projectile cannon shells to hit the high-speed infantry fighting vehicles, even if there were occasionally one or two.
The artillery shell was lucky enough to explode next to the infantry fighting vehicle, but it was completely unable to break through the heavy armor of the fighting vehicle.
Obviously, Li Zhi's infantry fighting vehicle was designed with the firepower of the New Army in the Beijing Camp in mind and completely restrained the weapons of the New Army.
The only way is to use a lot of gunpowder to blow it up.
Led by a brave officer, a "bureau" of cavalry carried bags of explosive ammunition and charged towards eight infantry fighting vehicles that were close together. There were about 280 cavalrymen in a bureau. These cavalry were
The best among the best in the Beijing camp, everyone rides a fat horse, and their riding skills are very superb.
Because they don't wear armor, these light cavalry can even run at top speeds of forty kilometers per hour when charging.
However, in front of Gatling machine guns, even elite cavalry are meaningless. Three hundred meters away, these cavalry were shot by machine guns. Bullets covered the front of the cavalry like raindrops. The soldiers on horseback were killed one after another.
He was called and fell to the ground.
A machine gun can fire one hundred and thirty rounds of bullets in a minute, and eight tanks can fire more than a thousand rounds of bullets in a minute. And the closer the cavalry is to the infantry fighting vehicle, the higher the machine gun's hit rate. But even if there are only four
Even if one-third of the bullet hits the target, all the cavalry on the opposite side can be killed.
The two hundred and eighty elite cavalry were like dominoes, falling one after another on the battlefield. The sack of explosive shells carrying the pride of the Beijing camp fell on the battlefield. The shells in the sack scattered everywhere and shot out from the cavalry.
rolling in his blood.
In the end, all the cavalry in a round were killed and turned into corpses.
The new troops in the Beijing camp on the battlefield were stunned when they saw the sacrifice of these elite cavalry.
Since even the elite cavalry cannot charge forward, is there any chance of victory in this battle?
The new army on the battlefield gradually collapsed.
The soldiers who were attacked by the infantry fighting vehicles gave up their attack and began to retreat toward the trench one by one. Although some of the most elite soldiers were still holding on outside the trench, most of the troops that had been "ravaged" by the infantry fighting vehicles
Their morale has collapsed and they have lost all organizational ability.
In the trench, Yang Guozhu opened his blood-red eyes hugely, as if he wanted to shoot them out.
He can't lose.
This battle was the decisive battle of the Ming Dynasty. If Yang Guozhu lost, the Ming Dynasty would be over.
During the Ming Dynasty, which lasted for more than two hundred years, sixteen emperors governed the country with Confucianism, which left a deep imprint on the land of China. After ruling for so many years, the rule of the Ming Dynasty has become a part of China. It can be said that
The Ming Dynasty is China, and China is the Ming Dynasty. All loyal ministers who are immersed in Confucianism cannot accept the possibility that the Ming Dynasty will be overthrown and replaced.
Maybe some people who have a long-term vision and assess the situation can understand Li Zhi's rise, but some people who stick to loyalty and filial piety cannot. At least Yang Guozhu cannot accept this possibility.
Seeing the emperor's new army that was about to completely collapse, Yang Guozhu's chest heaved violently.
The generals and commanders around Yang Guozhu looked at the bleak situation on the battlefield, and their faces were all red with anxiety. If this continues, it is no longer a question of winning or losing, but a question of whether they can save their lives and whether they can save the lives of their families.
The Li clan has always been famous for their iron-blooded ability to destroy enemies.
Suddenly, on the battlefield, the headquarters of the Huben Army where Li Zhi was located suddenly blew three long and two short horns. With the waving of the command flag, the sound of the horn quickly spread to other mountaintop command points, and the order was passed on.
All infantry fighting vehicles stopped firing at once, pausing the brutal massacre on the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Tiger Army following the infantry fighting vehicle suddenly shouted in unison: "Surrender!"
"drop!"
"drop!"
Obviously, Li Zhi's Huben army was unwilling to wantonly kill the new troops in the Beijing camp who were also Han Chinese, and began to recruit and surrender the emperor's soldiers on the battlefield.
The generals and commanders around Yang Guozhu looked at Yang Guozhu in surprise.
"General! King Qi has surrendered!"
"General! If you surrender now, you can still save the whole family."
"Admiral, surrender!"
The generals around Yang Guozhu had already lost confidence in the outcome of the war. After hearing Li Zhi's surrender order, they all began to persuade Yang Guozhu.
Yang Guozhu closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, this man was already in tears.
"My brother and my son all died for the country in the past, and I am the only one who surrendered as a general?"
Yang Guozhu looked around at the soldiers and roared: "Am I the only one who surrenders to the general?"
He suddenly grabbed the long-handled machete in his hand and strode out of the trench.
"Follow me out of the trench and kill the thieves!!"
