"Eighty thousand Heavenly Blessing Army attacking a small city!"

Whenever he thought about it like this, Geng Zhongming wanted to laugh a little. Of course, he knew the strength of the Shenzhou army, otherwise he would not have concentrated so many troops and put so much effort into arranging such a formation.

The 80,000 Tianyou army is not only mostly cavalry. Moreover, after Bolo won the Suzhou defense line at that time, a large number of new weapons were also drawn into a picture album and sent to all units of the Qing army, ordering each department to build their own.

At that time, the Boluo Department, which was intended to be the main force, was naturally a full set of new equipment built by the imperial court. As for Geng Zhongming, of course, he did it himself.

Fortunately, Geng Zhongming, who is based in Hunan, has no shortage of silver and craftsmen, and this is thanks to He Tengjiao, who only cares about internal rolling, and does not carry out any means of clearing the wilderness at all, so the population and talents are not missing.

And in the new weapon album, Geng Zhongming was most interested in only two things. One is the "chain oil bomb" used by his raiding troops earlier, which is a good means for cavalry to deal with forts or chariots.

The other is the Tiger Squat Cannon, which is lightweight, and after using the armor-piercing bullets and simple aiming of the Shenzhou Army, it has become more accurate and more powerful, but it has attracted Geng Zhongming's attention.

In the Qing army, the Tianyou soldiers, as the original Ming Dynasty Phidao commander-in-chief, Mao Wenlong's quite effective troops, they are not silent about firearms. Especially the cannon, so when Geng Zhongming saw the tiger squat cannon, he was inspired.

Therefore, the Tiger Squat Cannon of the Heavenly Blessing Soldier has changed. First of all, it has a longer barrel than it used to be, and it uses both solid and flowered pointed shells. Of course, they don't know how to use the letter tube yet, otherwise the Tianyou soldiers will really have mortars, and the threat to the Shenzhou army is naturally self-evident.

Therefore, the shells used by the Tiger Squat Cannon of the Heavenly Blessing Soldiers still have to be ignited in advance. This is just the two new weapons added by the Heavenly Blessing Soldier, and the reason why there are no more new weapons is because Geng Zhongming's inspiration is probably so much.

Secondly, as a cavalry-based unit, the other Boluo rockets that had to be loaded on the car could not keep up with the marching speed, so they only built some for Geng Zhongming, and this time they were also thrown to Changsha to defend the city. The other new equipment is an old thing, that is, the continuous archer gun used by the Bianning Iron Cavalry back then, and among the 80,000 cavalry, more than half of them now have this thing.

Geng Zhongming's heart, of course, took Xinyu as a small battle, and after his 80,000 main force captured here, he would go west to attack the flank of the Shenzhou Army fighting in the Hunan area.

Therefore, he also attached great importance to this siege battle, and at this time he was trapped in the mountains north of Xinyu, not only blocking the news, but also constantly sending people to inquire about the news of the Shenzhou army garrison in Xinyu City.

The news that "the enemy army is about 3,000 ......" has not changed since the beginning of the battle, and according to this judgment, he thought that the number of enemy troops must be about the same as the enemy army in the direction of Yichun, and if that was the case, he would be able to take the 80,000 men anyway.

After all, the number of people is thirty times that of theirs, and there are nearly three hundred new-style tiger squat cannons, not to mention that these other cannons are enough to smash Xinyu City, this small city of projectiles to smash, so naturally there should be no problem with the city, until the day of the siege, Geng Zhongming still thinks so.

Soon after the disturbance, Xinyu City was in sight. Geng Zhongming's army split into two routes, each attacking a small gate of Xinyu City. First, such a force will not be too weak, and second, it will also be conducive to the concentrated use of tiger squat artillery. As long as this kind of cannon squat cannon equipped with a shield can approach the city, even if it is blown up, it will blow up Xinyu flat.

Looking at the small Xinyu City, Geng Zhongming was already thinking that if he won this city in the future, he was afraid that his 80,000 athletes would not be able to stand inside, and if it was laid in the future, he would have to build a military camp outside.

And the Shenzhou Army, it seems that there are really not many people, look at the outside of the city, there are not many defenders at all except for supplies! Even those warships that made people frightened when they heard it, there was not a single stop above Yuan Shui. It seems that they are a little careless about the safety of this place.

Coming to the north of Xinyu City about ten kilometers, just as the sun was setting and the jackdaws were returning to their nests, an army of 80,000 people quietly approached Xinyu City from the north and east of Xinyu City. Of course, for such a large-scale attack, there is no need to mention sneak attacks, but getting closer and reducing the siege time is always a bad thing.

"Siege!"

Standing on the hill outside the city, Geng Zhongming issued an order to his subordinates, outside the small Xinyu City, at this moment, it is like an ant is a "sea of people", think about the scale of the impact of 80,000 cavalry!

Geng Zhongming's purpose is very simple, as long as he can use the cavalry's "rush" to suppress the force of the city. Geng Zhongming believed that the salvo of more than 100 tiger squat cannons would completely disintegrate the defense of Xinyu City, and at that time he Geng Zhongming was the first Qing general to defeat the Shenzhou army.

Of course, the Shenzhou army didn't plan to give him a chance to show his majesty, nor did they let his cavalry come to the city wall to shoot. Therefore, the materials outside the city that were covered under the canvas smoked by themselves, especially after the move, a group of strange guys came out, not to mention the Tianyou soldiers, even the new recruits of the Shenzhou Army have never seen them.

As mentioned earlier, China Shenzhou has always been quite generous to its own army, and Huang Gu, as the hardest fist on land in the Shenzhou army, naturally his equipment is the best.

Because there are tanks in his army, and Huang Gu, a person with a great sense of advancement, who is accustomed to using combat vehicles and knows the power of tank clusters, actually formed the world's first tank regiment.

Of course, as the first experimental unit, it is common to be under-equipped. As a result, each platoon was equipped with only three tanks, and the remaining 35 men in the unit were all maintenance and transport personnel, carrying enough charcoal particles for the three tanks in the platoon, repairs, and so on.

The infantry fighting vehicles used as tank assistants have not yet reached the level of practical use, so the infantry still use the old Samurai A, but due to the appearance of the Ryumu tank, these Samurai A vehicles have all removed the original rocket launch equipment and reduced their weight.

Thus, the entire tank regiment consisted of no more than one hundred and fifty tanks (ten tank companies of fifteen tanks each), a huge number of transport carriages, and three hundred and seventy-five old tanks (a total of fifteen infantry companies of twenty-five old Samurai A-tanks each), which was the first tank regiment in the world. Although it still has various shortcomings, they can still burst into a powerful combat capability.

One hundred and fifty tanks, although these tanks until now dragged like tadpoles with a gas generator, and their cylinders could make it travel about fifty kilometers. In addition, the "rapid-fire machine crossbow" used on the prototype was reduced to a two-pack rapid-fire shotgun.

Although everything was so rudimentary, the eight large wheels made it a wheeled tank, and the short travel distance made it impossible for him to carry out a real campaign assault, but it was enough for the time being.

Although the engine, those car factories that produce "running all over the street" can build it. However, these 155 chariots were built before the war, using almost all of the production force of Mingyue Bay in China and part of Wenzhou City. Of course, there is an upside to this.

That is, these engines are all after the daily journey of running on the street, after a long time of testing and continuous technical transformation, the more mature engine, although the power is still small, but it is already relatively solid.

Therefore, this kind of tank, which was rigidly named Longwu by Yue Xiaofei in honor of Zhu Yujian, is quite good to use. At the very least, its engine, as well as the 45mm gun it was equipped with (an improved version of the 60mm Raindrop gun), were war-tested.

This time, according to the information of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Huang Gu hid part of the tank here, and after covering it with a waterproof canvas, Geng Zhongming's scouts thought that these things were just some materials piled up outside. Naturally, the tankmen stood up one by one with two revolvers and a small number of shotguns for each of their equipment.

Watching these fake "logistics soldiers" idle every day, and often nothing is a rugby game. In fact, their hearts are as anxious as cat scratches, the Shenzhou Army has been using tanks for several years, and those who can become tankers are often the better guys among the tankmen.

Still, the fact that there was almost no time to practice before the actual battle still made them worried. I'm really afraid that the fight will start to be chaotic and now that they are starting to charge, they are naturally more worried.

Today, since the opposite side of the battle was only 80,000 cavalry that had already crawled over, and the distance was quite short, it was under Xinyusheng City. Therefore, today's chariots throw off the back of the "tail". The cabin consisted of two gunners, a driver, a gun commander, and a commander who needed to show his head in the conning tower.

The five people were crammed into a chariot with little space, and the space was a little small, and the voices that spoke had to be shouted because of the noise. Compared to them, the infantry fighting vehicles that followed them were much better, although they were a little tired, but they could pedal, but they were not so noisy.

Ambushed here near Xinyu City are two tank battalions, of which a total of 60 tanks, are lined up in front of infantry fighting vehicles. In the future, they will form a serious armored spearhead and start a tank war in a way that the world has never seen.

If the history of warfare is the only record of the Polish cavalry colliding head-on with Nazi tanks in World War II. So there is almost no need to guess the outcome of this battle, of course, since it is the first time that the tank has entered the battlefield, no matter how you say it, you have to leave a record.
