Huang Taiji received a secret report this morning that there was a fire in his hometown.
Amin was defeated and captured, and was released by Yang Fan.
Amin's soldiers and horses were also released. The other soldiers and horses were not released. At the same time, Mang Gurtai and the captured Zhenglan Banner vests and infantry were also released.
Mangguji killed Efu, annexed his tribe, and led the remnants of the Haixi Jurchens to rebel in Kaiyuan City.
The three brothers and sisters joined forces, pretended to be victorious and returned to the court, and deceived them into opening the city gate.
After entering Shenyang, the four doors were immediately closed and a general cleaning began.
All the families of the Eight Banners were detained in the city, and then the remaining personnel and the Eight Banners were reorganized, and the remaining banners were dispersed.
The eight flags that stayed at home were reorganized into three flags: purple flag, black flag, and green flag.
The purple flag belonged to Mang Gurtai and Mang Guji. The black flag belonged to Amin. The green flag was given to Li Yangeng, the son of Li Yongfang, the flag owner of the Han army who surrendered.
There was no defense in Shenyang City at all, thinking that the army had really won and returned the favor.
Amin held a banquet in the palace to celebrate, and all his ideas came to his attention. As a result, Mang Gurtai and his ambush soldiers swarmed up and ate them all. They were all imprisoned.
Then, Amin and Mang Gurtai took thunderous action and quickly took control of the Eight Banners.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Yangeng quickly surrendered.
After all, he is also needed to win over Han Junqi to stabilize people's hearts.
After Amin and Mang Gurtai left his family members as hostages, they changed the Han military flag to a green flag and handed it over to him for management. They appointed him as the flag master.
Li Yongfang didn't know that his little brat was already rebellious. At this time, he was hanging out with A Min.
The more Huang Taiji watched, the more frightened he became. He did not expect that Marquis Dingyuan would be such a difficult figure. He went to Heilongjiang and turned the Eight Banners upside down.
At this time, as he read the letter, beads of sweat appeared on his shining forehead.
He immediately blocked the news. If the news got out, the Eight Banners would collapse.
Don't panic at this time. Once you panic, you will be in trouble.
Now that the arrow is on the string, we must fight this battle now, whether we fight or not. It is best to take advantage of the chaos in the capital to capture the capital, and then return to the army immediately.
He was fortunate at this time that he had the foresight to plunder too many materials and too many people, so he had already escorted them out of the customs in advance and was on his way back to Liaodong.
After fighting this battle, he immediately led the army out of the customs and fought back to Shenyang. The captured humans and animals were walking slowly, and they caught up halfway. Otherwise, Amin would have been advantaged.
Huang Taiji sat under the yellow umbrella, squinting his eyes.
The 150,000-strong army and the Eight Banners were arrayed in the center. On the left were the Mongolian tribes, and on the right were the Han army flags and the surrendered Ming army.
On the opposite side is Yang Fan's Chinese army, which has only more than 30,000 infantry. On Yang Fan's left wing is Jiang Bingzhong's 8,000 Beijing camp cavalry, and on the right is Zhang Shize's 8,000 Beijing camp cavalry.
Huang Taiji smiled contemptuously. He heard that Marquis Dingyuan was back and was on the opposite side. Although he was afraid of his powerful strategies and methods, he was not impressed by the army he brought.
It's just a bunch of rabble, what can it do?
He had long been deprived of his military power, and once the capital camp left his hands, it quickly decayed.
So he didn't take the cavalry of the two Beijing camps seriously at all, and it's not like they haven't fought them in the past six months. They basically faced off against the cavalry of the Eight Banners, and were defeated in one battle.
Mangui took the cavalry from the Beijing camp and the Eight Banners Hard Steel, but he died.
He was also forced to do nothing by Chongzhen. He actually knew that he couldn't beat him forcefully. Beating him hard would be more harmful than good. But the emperor had just captured Governor Yuan because he was afraid of fighting. How could he dare to disobey his order?
As for the more than 30,000 infantrymen, I heard that Dingyuan Hou recruited them on the spot in Tianjin after returning from overseas. They were all untrained militiamen. The Eight Banners did not even take a look at them.
Dai Shan and others looked at each other and felt that there was no suspense in today's battle, and it would probably only take one morning.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the Ming army array opposite.
Daishan smiled and said: "We haven't fought yet, but we have messed up our position first. Hahaha."
I saw the soldiers of the Ming army's central formation spreading out to both sides, making way for a way in the middle.
Strange things with green paint ran out.
These things look like rectangular boxes. There is a V-shaped shovel on the front, and there are shining knife-like objects on both sides. I don't know what they are.
The flag owners of the Eight Banners whispered among themselves in confusion, could it be a new type of sidecar?
But the strange thing is that these cars are not pulled by oxen and horses. Instead, they run on their own. There is also a chimney on top, which is emitting black smoke and water vapor.
As soon as these vehicles came out, they immediately spread out in a row and stretched between the two army formations.
A total of one hundred taels of armored vehicles were wrapped with three millimeters of carburized hardened steel plates. An inverted V-shaped shovel was riveted on the front bumper, and there were multiple riveted guillotines on both sides. They were stretched horizontally like this and stopped quietly.
In front of the Ming army's array.
Immediately afterwards, fifteen tanks rumbled out, spreading a wide distance, almost equal to the width of the convoy, and then lined up in a row.
The maximum speed of a steam car is only 45 kilometers per hour.
The maximum speed of the tank is only 35 kilometers per hour, and the cross-country speed is estimated to be less than 30. This is still a flat land here, and the ground is also hard. Otherwise, it is estimated that it would not be able to run for 20 kilometers.
But this speed is considered very fast in this era. War horses don't have this speed. They may be able to run forty or fifty kilometers in a burst, but the duration is very short.
After all, Yang Fan's steam tank is produced in modern times. It not only increases the power of the steam power package, but also greatly reduces the weight, mainly in terms of structural weight and armor.
After all, there are no armor-piercing bullets in this era. A dozen millimeters of armor in key parts and seven or eight millimeters in other parts are enough. The red cannon cannot open it.
After all, it is modern armored steel, and I don’t know how much better it is than World War I.
Yang Fan, Tu Shanyue, Lin Yueru, and Chen Xi were in the specially decorated tank in the middle.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mei Xiang was also clamoring to come, but she is too fragile. Seeing the tragic scene of blood and flesh on the battlefield, I am afraid she will develop battlefield trauma syndrome.
Yang Fan did not agree to her participation in the war and asked her to stay in the camp.
More than 30,000 infantrymen were divided into ten regiments and were ready. Especially the Sauron Infantry Regiment was gearing up, carrying shields to protect their backs and holding fire axes. Thinking of a fifty-tael head, they couldn't wait.
.
After a moment, armored cars and tanks broke through the Jiannu formation, and the cavalry immediately followed and chased them, while the infantry continued to charge behind.
Yang Fan plans to defeat the Qing army in one battle. He doesn't plan to waste too much time.
On the top of the tank in the middle, a large hatch was opened. Yang Fan, Tu Shanyue, Li Yueru, and Chen Xi got out half of their bodies and looked forward with telescopes.
They were all wearing crisp woolen army general uniforms, and they looked a bit like soldiers of the Armored Division of the Third Reich. The three girls were wearing uniforms, and they looked even hotter in figure, and had a heroic appearance, which was very eye-catching.
"Well, I think it's almost done, let's give the order to start the attack. The car brigade will rush over at full speed immediately, and the tank brigade will follow up, using machine guns and machine guns to shoot at the fish that slip through the net."
"The cavalry's follow-up attack. Let's begin."
Yang Fan put down the telescope, took off his leather gloves, and said in a Guderian style.
The girls excitedly raised their fists and cheered. Damn it, the fight is about to begin. Okay!
Their little faces flushed slightly with excitement, and they immediately got back into the tank.
The commander immediately closed the hatch and sealed the vehicle body.
Yang Fan and his wife were sitting on comfortable sofas and chairs. Their positions were on a specially made high-mounted circular vehicle body with a small bulletproof glass observation window. Sitting on the chairs, their heads could be seen through the observation window.
The situation on the battlefield.
Everyone held a thermos cup and drank fragrant coffee, while the ladies ate snacks while observing the battle situation.
As three red flares took off, a hundred cars roared loudly and started running at full power.
Then keep the queue and continue to accelerate.
When Huang Taiji and others saw these cars rushing over, they were confused for a moment.
These cars are so strange. No one can be seen. There are no cattle or horses. I don’t know how they move.
Huang Taiji ordered: "The cavalry will attack, pass through the gaps between these vehicles, bypass these vehicles, and kill the infantry behind them. The infantry immediately push the carriages forward. The armies on both wings will outflank them."
At this time, Yang Fan no longer cares about Huang Taiji's arrangement. Because he has pulled very thin wire ropes between the armored cars. There are five wire ropes in total from front to back.
This is the reason why cars keep moving forward in a row.
No matter how we fight, the Eight Banners will definitely lose today.
