The ambush here was two tank battalions of the tank regiment, and their armament was two tank companies plus infantry fighting vehicles per battalion, for a total of four tank companies, sixty tanks and one hundred and fifty Samurai A-fighting vehicles.

The role of this part of their troops was to compress the entire enemy army that Geng Zhongming was about to rush outside Xinyu City to the southeast.

That part of the army consisted of ninety tanks and two hundred and twenty-five Samurai A. Their task was to press Geng Zhongming's troops from north to south with a wide front, and finally wipe out the enemy army in the face of Yuan Shui with no way out.

As for Geng Zhongming, whose whereabouts had long been mastered by the scouts, the Shenzhou Army had no intention of dealing with him at all this time, so they simply ignored him watching the battle on the mountain far north of Xinyu City.

Geng Zhongming, as well as some of the high-ranking officials in Hunan who had been placed agents around them, would be deliberately sent back to the Qing Dynasty as witnesses to this deeply asymmetrical war. First, because of their status, they will become a new source of intelligence in the future, and secondly, they will become free propagandists of the Shenzhou Army.

There is only one purpose, to make the Qing rulers afraid, to make their army understand the end of resistance, there is only one word: "death!" ”

The charge of 80,000 cavalry was quite formidable, and although they were partly afraid of the chariots, they still had the strength to fight thanks to the help of new weapons.

Of course, the cavalry in the front row, who had already rushed to the vicinity of Xinyu City, did not have such good luck. The bow and arrows in his hand, which had been intended to shoot towards the city one by one, involuntarily shot towards the wide frontal cluster of chariots.

For a moment, the sporadic arrows and flaming "rockets" rained down on the chariot cluster. In their impressions, wooden chariots are always afraid of fire.

But they were wrong, because at the front of the tank cluster were sixty of the most advanced Longwu tanks, the barrels of long 45mm guns, which had slowly moved towards the running cavalry group.

These Iron Heroes weren't fast, because their speed depended on the speed of the Samurai Type A infantry fighting vehicles behind them. Although the soldiers inside were desperate enough, manpower could not compete with the power of the machine after all. And even now it has been pulled a little distance.

The cavalry on the opposite side was painfully aware that the chariots on the opposite side were not something they could deal with at all. The arrows that were fired against the chariots in the front row didn't matter at all. But it was shot at the chariots behind them, and it had a little effect.

Therefore, the cavalry on the mission of running quickly ran to the side as originally planned. Running refers to the means of warfare in which cavalry runs along a certain route and shoots arrows at the target in a dense manner.

But by this time, it was a little too late for them to turn. Because the Longwu tanks had already fired intensive artillery fire that killed and wounded the infantry.

The shotshots they fired at the cavalry in front of them were the shotguns that were suggested by Chen Jin and further studied by the Wubei Fang.

Large expanses of arrow-shaped shotguns with small cross-shaped tails shot out of the smoke from the cannon barrels of the Longwu tank, and shot at the cavalry blocking the way.

This kind of scattered bullet is a bit like the principle of shelling and armor-piercing projectiles on today's tank guns, when the shell is ejected from the barrel, the butt made of composite materials will be detached due to the resistance, and the tungsten alloy warhead reduces the resistance due to the detachment of the butt, so as to obtain a higher muzzle velocity.

The 10 mm diameter of the scattered bullets fired by the Longwu tank, which was originally used against thinly armored targets such as old combat vehicles, will cause damage to both people and horses. And because of the high muzzle velocity, these shotshots often don't just pierce the body of a man or a horse, and if they hit the head, there is a high chance that the head will be wiped out.

A large number of cavalrymen who had completed their shooting were knocked to the ground by this scattershot. And the commander of the tank kept in mind the requirements on the training manual.

"Don't get too far away from accompanying the infantry!"

At this moment, all the Longwu chariots stopped, but the long barrels continued to spew terrifying flames, and the infantry fighting vehicles behind were slowly catching up.

As a famous general, Geng Zhongming stared at himself on the hillside, hardly believing what happened in the telescope on the battlefield. In front of the long-barreled chariots, almost half of his cavalry fell to the ground.

And at this moment, his war horses pulling tiger and tiger squatting cannons have not even reached the maximum range of Xinyu City.

"I want them to use a 'chain oil bomb'!"

In Geng Zhongming's eyes, that thing is a killer weapon against chariots. It seems that it is right, the mobility of the horses, coupled with the power of chain-type fire oil bombs, in this era without machine guns, will indeed pose a great threat to any kind of combat vehicle of the Shenzhou Army.

This time, the knights who faced the charge of the Longwu Type 1 tank and chariot were no longer like those in Yichun County, and they wrapped the chain fire oil bomb around the top of their heads into an obvious red circle. After that battle, it proved to be an excellent target. Therefore, the length of the thin iron chain has been shortened, and the circle around it is smaller, and it is longitudinally wound around the side.

Of course, relatively speaking, the range will also be slightly shortened without harming the overall situation.

Geng Zhongming, who had an absolute advantage in troops, was still quite generous, and with a wave of the banner, it was a decisive attack of 5,000 cavalry.

One by one, the figures were hunched down, hiding most of their bodies behind the horses' necks. At this time, when attacking Yichun, those cavalry came to the conclusion that they could at least avoid the arrow-shaped bullets of the shotguns that made people helpless.

However, this time this method was not good, because they were facing the tanks of the Shenzhou Army. Shotshots against lightly armored targets easily tear open the necks of horses and keep knocking the cavalry hiding behind him off their horses. Sixty tank guns almost shot these lead-infused shotshots made of pig iron into a wall.

One by one, the brave riders tumbled and rolled in front of this wall, and the 'chain oil bombs' they were wielding in their hands were thrown not far in front of their corpses, and they became a fire that affected their own charges.

The closer they got to the tank, the more intense the fire they encountered. At first, there were only shotguns with a range of nearly 600 meters, and when they got closer, the bullets fired by the ill-intentioned men above the turret fired almost continuously.

More people were knocked to the ground by these shots, but fortunately most of the power of these shots was borne by the horses, and many soldiers ran backwards after two rolls in the ground, and they only had one thought, the farther away from these terrible things, the better.

At this time, what was even more terrifying was that behind the tank were more than a hundred samurai A-type chariots that were slightly slower, but the rain of arrows was even more terrifying, and the rain of arrows they shot was more like an undodgable rainstorm.

Under the continuous blows, the decisive impact of the five thousand cavalry immediately came to naught, and Geng Zhongming, who was in the middle of the mountain, had already made it clear that there was no need to fight this battle again. Even the imperial court doesn't have to fight anymore, it is just a matter of time before China Shenzhou occupies the whole of China, and what will happen to these people, the generals and ministers who have defected from the Ming Dynasty?

Based on Yue Xiaofei's past way of doing things, as well as his past records, he can guess that it will not be a good thing. So as far as Geng Zhongming is concerned, what he is thinking about at the moment is that the problem is very heavy.

"Should I fight to the death with my soldiers on the battlefield?"

Yes, these people, anyway, they can't escape death in the end, or they die in battle. Just when Geng Zhongming was still uncertain, scenes of tragic massacres were still being staged on the battlefield.

Of course, there are also a few guys who are very lucky, with the help of the horses, they galloped towards the Longwu tank of the Shenzhou Army, and as soon as the iron chain in their hands was loosened, the "chain fire oil bomb" that had burned into a large ball of fire flew towards the Longwu tank. Of course, at such a close distance, no matter how lucky a man is, will not be able to escape the fate of death, or when he rushes to the front of the tank, he is already determined to die.

fire, which is a test for the Longwu tank. Yue Xiaofei, who used to watch World War II movies in the past, certainly knew what kind of threat this "chain fire oil bomb" born from the "Moloto cocktail" would pose to the Longwu tank.

Fortunately, the Longwu tank uses inflated cylinders, so the combustion of fuel is not a particular problem. The hatch, which is quite tightly sealed, can also protect the soldiers inside the tank from flames for a while.

But fire is always a threat, and in order to deal with such dangers, the Longwu tank, like a warship, has a layer of composite wooden armor on the outside of the steel armor that protects and prevents rust. Although they can easily catch fire, they are also very easy to disassemble!

If you loosen the clip inside the car, you can easily remove the composite armor plate on the outside and remove the danger. Of course, there is only one layer, and if it is attacked by the "chain oil bomb" again, if it cannot be rescued, I am afraid that there will only be one way to abandon the car. It is true that tanks at this stage are valuable, after all, human life is more important than Mount Tai.

The horrific massacre caused Geng Zhongming's final collapse, and he knew that he had overestimated the combat power of his subordinates, so he gave the order for a complete withdrawal of troops.

However, at this time, he fled with the 20,000 cavalry who shared his opinion, or there was still a chance, but the fate of the cavalry who had already been thrown into the battlefield was already doomed. No matter how fast the horse is, it is difficult to outrun the tank, not to mention the current Tianyou soldiers, who have already been frightened by the chariot and just want to flee in the direction where there is no chariot.

There, on the side of Yuan Shui, there was only a prisoner of war camp set up for them by the Shenzhou Army.

In the battle, Geng Zhongming was the main force of the 80,000 Tianyou cavalry, as well as more than 100 tiger squatting cannons, except for those who fled with him, in a very short period of time, more than 20,000 people were killed in battle, and the remaining 40,000 people were all obediently taken prisoner.
