Huang Han knew that the strength of the slave chief was relatively strong, and his level was much higher than Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong, but he didn't think that he would be able to make a big profit.

With the current strength of the "Red Banner Army", it is impossible to fight a cheap battle, and the flat push and crushing are enough to destroy any opponent.

Since the Qing army did not think of launching the battle for Jinzhou, it was enough to accept the gift of Jinzhou perfectly, and in order to reduce the casualties of the attacking and defending sides, it was very important to persuade and disintegrate the enemy's military spirit.

After completing the storage of autumn grain and celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, on August 18, the propaganda war officially began.

Jiang Xin, Dou Kuai, Ma Laosan, Lu Yuanhua and other former Manchu Han soldiers who had become generals of the "Red Banner Army" appeared one after another, and there were even more than 200 Jiannu and Tartars who participated in the persuasion to surrender.

The effect is too good, especially when the Jiannu and Tartar, who are neatly dressed and ruddy-faced, appear under the city of Jinzhou with a sword hanging from their waists, there are too many Qing troops in the city.

Obviously, after the surrender of the "Red Banner Army", not only the Han army and the Goryeo soldiers were free, but even the Jurchens and Mongols carried weapons, and their mental outlook was not pretended.

Liu Zaiqi, who had already cultivated courage and official spirit, personally led dozens of people to hold steel shields and horns made of iron sheets, and approached a hundred steps below the city of Jinzhou to shout.

At this time, the guns deployed at the head of Jinzhou City were already able to shoot them.

However, the artillery and guns at the head of the city were not fired, and the defenders even talked to the propaganda team and asked about the treatment they would get if they took the initiative to surrender.

Just after noon, the "flying army" began a large-scale actual combat exercise, Jinzhou was the target of the air attack, and when the 500 hot air balloons flew over Jinzhou, they did not throw 10,000 enemies or Molotov cocktails, but dropped leaflets with pictures and texts to persuade them to surrender.

This is entirely due to the fact that more than ninety percent of the soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou are illiterate, and they can only use the model of comic strips to propagate the good policy of voluntarily surrendering without blame for the past and being able to eat their stomachs.

When the red hot air balloon rose into the sky and floated over Jinzhou, the soldiers and civilians in the entire city were like stupid.

The exclamations of the defenders at the head of the city were heard far away, "Oh my God! Are the 'Red Banner Army' all heavenly soldiers and generals? ”

"Will they jump directly from the sky into the palace of Guishun?"

"Hehe, although the courtyard wall of the Guishun King's Mansion is tall, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop the surprise soldiers from the sky!"

"Haha, I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch next, brothers, be smart!"

"Got it, got it!"

The people in the city were even more terrified when they saw the fiery hot air balloon, and many people actually knelt down to bow and worship, chanting the words "Nan no Amitabha Buddha".

Suddenly, red, yellow, and white leaflets were flying all over the sky like a goddess scattering flowers, and the soldiers and civilians immediately began to loot......

It didn't take long for many soldiers and civilians to read the pictures on the leaflets, and knew that the "Red Flag Army" was benevolent and righteous, and gave everyone in Jinzhou a chance to live, otherwise they would throw gunpowder and fire oil into the city from the sky, and Jinzhou would be scorched earth overnight.

Huang Han is not worried about exposing the lethality of the "flying army", Jinzhou is surrounded by regiments, and it is destined that not a single mouse can jump out here.

How difficult it was for Sheng Jing's Red Gangsters to get accurate information, and even if he knew that Huang Han had a "flying army" that could attack from the sky, what would he do?

In World War II, in the face of air raids, the only way to deal with them was to send fighter planes to intercept them and deploy anti-aircraft artillery bombardment on the ground.

The soldiers and civilians on the ground can only hide and gamble on the good luck that the bombs will not fall around them.

In this era, there were so many thatched huts in the city, and most of the better houses were brick and wood structures, and once the fire burned down the camp, it was useless to rely on the backward firefighting methods at this time.

Moreover, the vicious Huang Han was ready to tempt the Red Gangsters to fight a decisive battle outside Shenyang when the weather was cold and freezing, deliberately so that the Manchu soldiers and civilians could harvest grain and hoard it in the city, so that they would suffer from gains and losses and would not easily abandon the city and flee.

Choosing the climate and wind direction is conducive to launching air strikes when the hot air balloon lifts off, and does not hesitate to turn the Manchu pseudo-capital into purgatory.

Dripping water into ice, once Shengjing rains down the heavenly fire, there is really nothing to be done, I don't know how to resolve the red gang in the wax moon that can't get water quickly, facing the skyrocketing fire?

The exercise is too important, and the "flying army" will certainly be able to further improve its tactics and raise its flying level if it gets a few opportunities to train troops in actual combat.

Five hundred hot air balloons floated over Jinzhou, and the cool wind and sunshine in autumn were conducive to flying, and no hot air balloon fell in Jinzhou City due to a major accident.

Just when the soldiers and civilians of Jinzhou were almost petrified, the propaganda team with Jiannu, Tatar, and the former Manchu Han army began to shout, and they issued a serious warning, telling the defenders to think about how to deal with the '10,000 enemies' thrown from the sky.

On the third day of the propaganda war, the "flying army" carried out six exercises to fly over Jinzhou City, demonstrating its ability to attack fortified positions from the sky.

The defenders of Jinzhou were all suppressed, and they all maintained restraint, and no one dared to fire cannons or firearms.

Unlike in the past, even a few hundred Jiannu and more than 2,000 Tartars did not dare to take the initiative to provoke, not only did they not shoot arrows, but they also did not force the Han army to open fire as war supervisors.

There were even a few Tartars who could speak Chinese and looked left and right with leaflets, and they took the initiative to ask the tribesmen and propaganda team members who came to persuade them to surrender whether the "Red Banner Army" was sincere in accepting the surrender and whether the Mongolian surrendered army was really able to eat to their heart's content.

These barbarians are actually strong on the outside, and although their IQ is not high, they are not stupid.

Seeing that the "Red Banner Army" could fly in the sky, of course he understood that people on the earth could only be beaten.

It's all passively beaten and can't fight back at all, how can such a battle be fought? There is no place to hide, and people can throw gunpowder and fire oil to set fire to the wind!

understood that it was impossible to win, and understood that even if everyone resisted desperately, they would not be able to hold Jinzhou City, and the vast majority of the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry also gave up, waiting for surrender was the only chance to survive.

It can be seen from this that the effect of propaganda warfare is very good, and the 500 Manchu and Mongolian prisoners of war released at the end of last year can really reach 100,000 soldiers.

In the ancestral mansion in Jinzhou City, Zu Dashou, who had not woken up from a hangover, was dragged up by a group of generals, and everyone was anxious, especially wanting to know the attitude of the leading brother Zu Dashou.

And this former titan has now become a coward, looking at those eager and familiar faces and smirking.

Zu Dashou's family members are all in Shengjing, and his adult sons all have an official and a half-position, and only his cousin Zu Dabi and adopted son Zu Kefa are left in the Jinzhou army.

The head of the family is so decadent Zu Dabi and Zu Kefa of course see it in their eyes, they are helpless, and they also have no hope for guarding Jinzhou, the head of the family is drunk, they also drink, and even drink even more fiercely, and they can't wake up when they are drunk.
