1,000 steps, 800 steps, 600 steps......

"Boom, boom!"

The Guanning Iron Cavalry and the fifteen tanks of the Xuanjia Army got closer and closer, and after entering the range of the artillery, the gate artillery on the tank finally began to bombard.

For a while, the Guanning Iron Cavalry that was charging in front of the explosion turned over on his back, and twenty or thirty horses fell, the war horses were torn, and the sergeants who fell to the ground were trampled into flesh in an instant by the follow-up war horses.

The artillery bombardment of the Xuanjia Army's tanks, some of the losses of soldiers and horses had long been expected by Wu Sangui, after all, the range of the artillery was limited, as long as it was killed at close range, the artillery would not have any power.

Wu Sangui not only did not retreat, but also drove Guan Ning Tieqi to rush forward and fight fiercely. He had a wealth of battlefield experience, and his strategy was not to divide his forces to attack fifteen tanks, but to concentrate his forces to attack five tanks first.

The advantages of this method of warfare are: 1. The attack mode of the tank is mainly frontal, supplemented by the side, and breaking through from the front of five tanks can reduce the casualties of the Guanning iron cavalry during the charge; 2. It can concentrate the superior forces to take down a few tanks first, and after accumulating experience in dealing with tanks, then calmly annihilate the remaining tanks from the side.

Fang Yuan, who was watching the battle in the rear, also had to admit that Wu Sangui was worthy of being a fierce general on the battlefield, who could span the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty for decades, and could find out the best combat plan against the tank before the battle: that is, to attack the weak side of the tank's defense, and besides, it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers.

Four hundred, three hundred, two hundred steps......

The Guanning Iron Cavalry, with forty or fifty casualties, finally broke out of the effective range of the artillery, approaching within two hundred paces of the tank.

"Crackle!"

The armor sergeant on the tank held the armor god gun and began to fire fiercely at the enemy from the four shooting holes. Because the Xuanjia Shengong is not a filler shot, but a back-firing flint boring gun, it is still equipped with bullets. The rate of fire is obviously far higher than that of the ordinary bird gun, three-eyed gun, and even the mode of not requiring three shots, and two people can take turns firing to maintain continuous firepower.

After two or three rounds of bullets, another 60 or 70 people fell from the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the losses of these rounds of firing were also within Wu Sangui's estimated losses.

Wu Sangui relied on his experience in fighting with the Manchu Iron Cavalry, even if the Xuanjia Army's firearms were powerful, he could kill in front of the chariot even if he had a hundred casualties. Next, it was the turn of the chariot to lose its combat ability and let the Guanning iron cavalry slaughter.

The next battle situation was as Wu Sangui expected, after losing more than 90 people, the remaining Guanning iron cavalry finally killed in front of the tanks of the Xuanjia Army. Since there were only five or six firing holes in the tank, the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, which had rich combat experience, immediately found the dead end of the shooting, and forced under the tank under the cover of the dead end.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry approached the tank, only to realize that this tank was really not manpower, nor horsepower, and as for what power drive, everyone knew nothing.

Although Wu Sangui, who personally went to the battlefield to charge, could not see the driving principle of the tank clearly, he could see through at a glance that the person driving the movement of this tank was in the cab in front, and the attack power of the tank was all in the compartment.

He immediately ordered the whole army to be divided into three teams, one team went to the wheelhouse, killed the sergeant in the wheelhouse, and paralyzed the tank's operation; One team lit the torches they carried with them and went to burn the hull of the tank; The first team dismounted, prepared to climb the tank, threw the prepared incendiary packs into the gun port and the firing hole, and burned the enemy soldiers in the tank alive.

Sergeant Guan Ning, who went to attack the cab, climbed onto the shelf, swung his knife and slashed the glass of the cab, trying to smash an opening to break in. However, the tank is equipped with two layers of tempered bulletproof glass, even if a professional safety hammer is used to violently hit the weakest corners, it will take a lot of effort, how can ordinary knives and guns be cut in a short period of time, aimlessly?

"Bang bang bang!"

Several Guan Ning sergeants slashed the glass of the cab with the strength of the milk, only to make the bulletproof glass slam, but still unharmed.

After several times, the operation of the Guan Ning army to attack the cab was declared a failure!

Not only the sergeants who went to attack the wheelhouse suffered defeats, but also the sergeants who climbed the tanks suffered a huge setback.

On the tank, the height of the gun muzzle and firing hole is designed to be at least two people high, and it is impossible to throw the burning bag into the tank without climbing the hull.

The tank compartment was full of dense small barbs, and before a few climbing sergeants had climbed a few steps, they were scraped to the flesh and blood, and they were so painful that they gritted their teeth, so they had no choice but to give up climbing and jump down.

Several sergeants covered the tank hull with cowhides, ready to cover the barbs with cowhides, and continued to climb. However, he saw the armored sergeant in the tank splash fire oil from the side shooting hole, and then threw out the ignited incendiary canister. In an instant, the cowhide ignited a raging fire, and several climbing Guan Ning sergeants were immediately engulfed in the raging flames, screaming and running wildly.

At this point, the operation to climb the hull of the tank was also declared a failure!

The only thing left was a team of Guan Ning sergeants who burned the tank hull. This group of people has not yet lit the fire, and they are already stunned and at a loss.

Because the sergeant in the tank took the initiative to ignite the cowhide hanging on the hull, the tank hull was not damaged at all under the raging fire.

Several sergeants stepped forward and slammed on the body of the car, making a crisp sound of metal being struck, and couldn't help but gasp, the body of the car was not the wood used in ordinary chariots at all, but the iron sheet.

When the sergeants were at a loss, the motionless tank suddenly moved, and instead of moving forward or backward, the hull of the tank rotated automatically.

The body of the car rotated, and the blades that drove the body of the car instantly cut the sergeants around who had not had time to dodge into two pieces in an instant. The sergeants gasped and dispersed in fright, hiding farther away from the blades.

Wu Sangui was taken aback when he saw this, the power of this kind of tank obviously exceeded his previous estimate, and it was not an ordinary combat vehicle, but a kind of mobile small fortress that was invulnerable to fire and water, had great power, and could move forward and retreat freely, and even rotate.

In his opinion, since the tank cannot be burned or broken, the only way may be to gather the strength of everyone to push it down, so that the tank can lose its attack power!

Wu Sangui immediately ordered the sergeants to pile up the carcasses of the war horses as obstacles to restrict the forward and backward movement of the tank, and ordered the five people to use five boring guns to pinch the tank and rotate. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the movement and rotation of the tank were finally completely restricted.

Twenty Guan Ning sergeants threw their muskets and boring guns and began to push hard at the side of the tank. With the help of everyone, the hull of the tank began to shake and crumble.

Fang Yuan, who was watching the battle in the rear, saw that the Guan Ning army had finally found a way to restrain a tank, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, just one tank was naturally useless on the battlefield, but Wu Sangui was facing not three or five tanks, but a tank group of fifteen tanks.

Fang Yuan smiled and said to Liu Yiliang, "Close!" ”

In the first battle of Liu Yiliang's Lingqi, in addition to the five tanks that fought with the Guanning army, the remaining ten tanks also began to act to cut and encircle the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

The impact of the tank group was huge, and it broke up the formation of the Guanning Iron Cavalry in an instant, and then divided into several directions to encircle Wu Sangui in the center!

Wu Sangui's Guanning army tried their best to overturn a tank, but the situation on the battlefield was already inferior. Under the impact of fifteen tanks, the 1,000 Guanning iron cavalry was crushed and scattered.

Wu Sangui saw that the situation was not good, if he did not admit defeat and retreat, and carried it to death, it would be his turn to be captured alive on the spot.

He immediately ordered the remaining three or four hundred Guan Ning Iron Cavalry to retreat immediately before the Xuanjia Army tanks encircled.

After two hours of confrontation, the battle was decided, ending with a fiasco of Wu Sangui's 1,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry.
