Chapter 1102: Fear

Yang Guozhu stared at the field to the east and was in a trance for a while.

Can you beat Li Zhi yourself? Defeat Li Zhi, who swept inside and outside the Ming Dynasty?

Yang Guozhu suddenly felt that this matter was a little impossible. That's Li Zhi.

The number of 400,000 troops, the plan that had been carefully prepared for several months, could not bring Yang Guozhu a little confidence.

Yang Guozhu swallowed his saliva, and his aging face twitched a little.

However, Yang Guozhu is a veteran after all. Countless times, even if it was a battle that had no chance of winning, Yang Guozhu also prepared carefully and did his best. So at this time, even if he lost the confidence to defeat Li Zhi, he still did not lose the composure of a handsome man.

Slowly, he suppressed the fear in his heart.

Glancing at the generals and soldiers around him left and right, Yang Guozhu roared: "My 400,000 royal divisions are besieging Tianjin with a thunderous force, and the total victory is only between repeats." When the rebel Li Zhi is headed, it is just around the corner. At the moment of the war, the only thing to worry about is to create rumors and chaos. “

Yang Guozhu pointed his hand at the three soldiers in front of him and shouted: "These three people are talking to each other in the trench, confusing the army's heart, and beheading!" “

The surrounding officers and soldiers heard Yang Guozhu's categorical words, and their faces sank.

Only then did the three whispering soldiers find that the rebellious general Yang Guozhu was beside them, and when they heard Yang Guozhu's words, they were suddenly frightened. The three of them fell to their knees and kowtowed desperately.

The personal soldiers around Yang Guozhu did not give the three soldiers a chance to beg for mercy, and rushed up and dragged the three down.

Just behind the trench, three hapless soldiers were beheaded on the spot by officers. Of course, the three heads that were cut off would not be discarded, but were held high by Yang Guozhu's own soldiers. The soldiers stepped on their horses and held the heads of the "sinners" in the north and south directions of the trench and shouted loudly, warning the soldiers of the fate of private discussions.

Seeing the ending of these three soldiers, the other soldiers turned pale one by one. They all secretly said that they were lucky, and they were not caught by Yang Guozhu when they were discussing. With the experience of these three people, where do others dare to make a sound in the trench again?

The atmosphere in the trench, which had been getting more and more chaotic, suddenly calmed down and stabilized.

Yang Guozhu took a breath, knowing that he was under control of the situation.

He flicked his cloak and walked in the autumn wind towards the Chinese troops behind the trench. I'm afraid the battle will start soon, and Yang Guozhu is going to the Chinese army to command the battle.

But as soon as Yang Guozhu took a step, he suddenly saw a huge roar from the opposite side.

At this time, the distance between the new army of Beijing and the tiger army was only ten miles, and the tiger army was originally on the defensive, and the new army of Beijing could attack at any time. However, after Li Zhi personally arrived at the front line, the momentum of the Tiger Ben Army was very different, and the Tiger Ben Army might also cross the trench to attack Yang Guozhu's new army in Beijing, so all changes on the battlefield were very sensitive.

The rumbling roar was not like a sound that humans could make, but more like a huge machine, a machine that neither the Jingying New Army nor Yang Guozhu had ever seen.

Yang Guozhu heard those roars, and there was a panicked look on his face. He forced himself to compose, raised his binoculars and began to observe the battlefield opposite.

However, Yang Guozhu's place was too low, and he didn't see anything in the telescope.

The soldiers in the trenches heard the loud roar coming from miles away, and their faces, which had been calmed for a while, began to panic again.

The characteristics of the Tiger Ben Army are not only to win every battle, but also to rely on advanced weapons to win every battle. At the beginning, the legend that the Huben army destroyed the trenches of the Jiangbei Army with steam tanks has spread all over the country, and everyone knows that the Huben Army has weapons that other armies cannot match.

Could it be that this huge roar is the sound of the Tiger Army's weapons? Is it a steam tank?

The long trenches of the new army gradually began to be a little chaotic again, and although the soldiers did not dare to talk, they could not help but look at each other anyway, and communicate their uneasiness with each other through their eyes.

Yang Guozhu's face was pale, but there was nothing he could do. The soldiers in the trenches always had to turn around to get their bullets, rest, and go to the toilet, and he could not have beheaded every soldier who turned his head more than thirty degrees.

He could only stare at the battlefield opposite, trying to find the source of the loud roar. After thinking about it, he strode towards a higher hill behind him, and walked to the top of the hill to observe the battlefield.

At the heights, Yang Guozhu vaguely saw the trench system of the Tiger Ben army on the opposite side. In order to deal with the Beijing camp, which was seven or eight times the number of its own, the trenches of the Tiger Ben army were dug very long, and the density of soldiers in the trenches was very low. Like the trenches in Beijing, the trenches of the Huben army are also divided into four or five layers, with battle trenches, reserve trenches, logistics trenches, command trenches and so on.

In the high-magnification telescope, Yang Guozhu saw some huge steel chariots passing from behind the trench.

Seeing those chariots, Yang Guozhu's face turned white.

Yang Guozhu had prepared a large number of bombs against Li Zhi's steam tank. These bombs are similar to the flowering bombs of the Beijing camp, which use an open flame to ignite the fuse and throw it to blow up the Tiger Ben soldiers behind the steam tank.

But the steel chariot that Yang Guozhu saw at this time seemed to be completely different from the steam tank. There seemed to be some tubes sticking out of the tank, I don't know if it was a gun barrel.

Apparently, Li Zhi's tank has been upgraded again.

Yang Guozhu's heart sank.

However, these chariots were not enough to make Yang Guozhu tremble.

Behind the trench opposite, followed closely by those steel chariots, a gorgeous contingent of pro-soldiers suddenly appeared. The soldiers rode tall horses, wore gorgeous military uniforms, and wore red flags on their backs. Flags fluttered in the wind, and from a distance it looked like a red cloud pressed over.

The team galloped fast and fast, and Yang Guozhu looked at it for a while, and saw a huge dragon that symbolized Li Zhi's royal power, as well as a tall banner mounted on a chariot. The flag was ten zhang high, and there was a huge word "Qi" written on it.

Under the banner, Li Zhi, dressed in a gorgeous new-style marshal's uniform, rode on a horse and drove towards the battlefield with an expressionless face.

As soon as the banner of King Qi and Long Xu approached the trench on the front line, the position of the Tiger Ben army suddenly resounded with cheers that resounded through the sky.

"King Qi!"

"Long live King Qi!"

"Hooray!"

When the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army saw Li Zhi coming to the front line, it was as if they had seen victory. Although the number of people is only a fraction of the opposite, Li Zhi symbolizes invincibility. The soldiers of the Tiger Army raised their rifles in the trenches and let out deafening cheers.

Li Zhi, the king of Qi, personally marched to the front line, what else could not be defeated?

The huge cheers of the Tiger Ben Army spread for more than ten miles, making the trenches of the new army in Beijing fall silent.

The new army of Jingying, which should have had full certainty of victory, completely lost confidence under the prestige of Li Zhi.

Yang Guozhu suddenly felt that he couldn't control his fear, and his body trembled slightly.
