After parting ways with the brigade, Lin Yu drove a transport vehicle in front, Li Wei drove a tank, and then spent an hour passing Linhuai County, with only about thirty or forty miles left from Fengyang.

The sound of fighting and gunfire coming from the north can be vaguely heard. It is still around 5 pm, and the scorching sun is still hanging high in the sky. It seems that there is no two hours to be decided.

In order to avoid being discovered by Qing army spies, Lin Yu decided to find a hillside for a while and teach the soldiers of the Shenji Company how to use guns.

These soldiers have used the combstone guns for many years and are no strangers to them. What's more, the guns provided by Lin Yu are many times easier to use than combstone guns. All the cumbersome and complex procedures are abandoned, and you just need to aim and pull the trigger.

In order to save bullets, Lin Yu did not allow ordinary soldiers to shoot, and only allowed four small flag officials to fire one bullet each, and the others watched from the side.

The only difficulty is the Maxim heavy machine gun, which requires two people to operate.

Lin Yu personally partnered with Cao Shunfeng to guide him in the position of shooting while lying down, and repeatedly warned the bullets to save on fire, otherwise, if there were only more than 2,000 bullets, I was afraid that I would not be able to hold on to the effort of a cup of tea.

During World War II, in addition to one fired and the other replaced the bullet, the Maxim machine gun also needed two auxiliary soldiers to replace the barrel and provide cool water to cool and refrigerate.

However, Lin Yu has limited bullets in his hand, only 2,000 rounds, so he is afraid that whether the barrel can heat up is a problem, let alone cool down.

Finally, Lin Yu pulled another grenade and threw it out. The stone chips were flying and the gunpowder was filled with smoke. "Remember, you must pull off the safety pin and throw it out, otherwise it will not explode."

After an hour of training, Lin Yu asked the soldiers to familiarize themselves with guns, learn the correct posture of firing, and the process of replacing bullets, and find a secluded place to consider how to use troops next?

"This battle is not easy to fight. The Qing army is probably 300,000 to 400,000, right? How likely can one mekava be to win?"

Lin Yu sat on a rock, looking at the setting sun of the sun shining west, feeling very sad.

When Duoduo went south, there were more than 100,000 troops. In addition, the second towns of Jiangbei that surrendered without fighting, the 50,000 troops under Liu Zeqing and the 70,000 troops under Gao Jie's subordinates, the total force may have exceeded 200,000.

What's even more terrible is that Abatai and Wu Sangui led his troops from Henan to help. After joining forces with Duoduo, the total force exceeded 350,000. It is estimated that the total number of various artillery artillery is no less than 1,000, and various kinds of muskets exceeds 50,000. How should we fight this battle?

If Lin Yu had enough shells and fuel, he would still have the confidence to fight the Qing army to the death, but unfortunately he would not have it.

There are only ten shells left in the chamber. Even if you buy all the gold coins, you can only buy more than 30, and how many enemies can you kill?

As the saying goes, learn from one's mistakes. When I was in Yangzhou, the Qing army was caught off guard by a tank I had never seen before. But this time I made a comeback, I should be prepared, right?

"What will Duodor think of to restrain my Mekava?"

Lin Yu racked his brains and couldn't think of it, so he could only take one step at a time and counterattack him by chance.

There were not enough shells, not enough fuel, and the Qing army was prepared. If we could not make a surprise plan, the chances of victory seemed to be getting smaller and smaller.

"The Qing army was close to 400,000, while our reinforcements were only 40,000, which was too weak. The Nanjing court must issue an imperial edict and summon reinforcements to Fengyang to assist the war, so that there is hope of victory."

Ma Shiying was able to send 40,000 people to rescue Fengyang this time, which was considered as the best effort. It was impossible to mobilize troops from Nanjing again.

This is also because Fengyang is Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown and because Fengyang is Ma Shiying's nest, if he changes to another place, Yangzhou in history will be a lesson for the past.

Liu Liangzuo, who was fleeing, had 80,000 troops, and was in Shouzhou not far from Fengyang. It was just that this dog-dream was selfish and cunning. If he could not see the hope of the Ming army winning, he would never send troops to fight the Qing army.

"The four towns in Jiangbei!"

Lin Yu spat hatefully. Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa actually put the hope of defending Nanjing on these warlords. He was really crazy.

"Liu Liangzuo can't count on him, what about Huang Degong?"

Lin Yu remembers that after the Qing army captured Nanjing in history, Zhu Yousong ran along the Yangtze River to Wuhu and defected to Huang Degong.

Huang Degong was also a man. He was unmoved in the face of the Qing army's surrender. He still refused to surrender when Nanjing was in the face of the general situation of the Ming Dynasty. He led his troops to fight with the Qing army for many days and was eventually shot to death on the ship.

Among the four towns in Jiangbei, Huang Degong has the strongest military strength, with 100,000 elite soldiers under his command, and is currently resisting Zuo Liangyu's attack in Wuhu.

By time calculation, Zuo Liangyu was about to die of illness on the Yangtze River. Huang De's power troops went up the river and defeated Zuo Liangyu's son who took over military power. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zuo Menggeng led his troops back to Hubei to surrender to the Qing Dynasty King Ajige.

"He went back and sent someone to ask for help from Huang Degong. He had competed with Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie for Fengyang, and there was a great possibility that he would send troops to support him."

If Huang Degong's support is provided, the comparison of troops between the two sides will undergo tremendous changes, with the Ming army of 150,000 and the Qing army of 400,000.

"Even if the shells are insufficient, this Mekava main battle tank is equivalent to at least the combat power of 50,000 troops, right? Then the Ming army will be equivalent to 200,000. Perhaps Liu Liangzuo will participate in the war in this case."

Lin Yu believed that if Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong's 180,000 troops participated in the battle, plus the mekava, transport vehicles, Maxi and other guns in his hands, his confidence in winning would be increased to 70%.

But the premise of all this is to defend Fengyang and never let the Qing army break through the city!

If Fengyang is captured, not to mention whether the Qing army will launch a large-scale killing of nearly two million people in the city, the influence alone will be enough to greatly reduce the morale of the Ming army. At that time, traitors will descend to the Qing Dynasty like mushrooms after a rain.

By then, Liu Liangzuo would definitely be the first to jump out and surrender, and turned the cannon barrel to aim at the Ming Dynasty.

If the Qing army conquered Fengyang and massacred, what should the Ming army do?

Sitting on the atrocities of the Qing army, he dared not act rashly? Not to mention this, it would make the people of the Southern Ming court lose all their hearts, and Lin Yu, as a time traveler, could not tolerate it.

Counterattack Fengyang and save the people?

With the strength of the Ming army, they were still beaten repeatedly in the field. If they took the initiative to attack the city, they would probably be moths to the fire and fall into the trap.

"Send the Shen Ji Lian to Fengyang City first, and you must save the city no matter what!" Lin Yu slapped his thigh and made a decision.

There are more than 10,000 defenders in Fengyang City, with strong troops than Yangzhou. Then, the Shenji Company was sent to the city for support. With the power of more than a dozen guns, they should be able to last longer.

When it got dark, everyone had enough food and drink, and came to Lin Yu to gather together.

"Dear soldiers, there are nearly two million compatriots in Fengyang City. We must not let the Tartars break the city!"

Lin Yu stroked the Shangfang sword on his waist with his hand, and boosted morale with a loud tone, "So I plan to use an iron armored vehicle to drive the road, rush to the city gate, and then send you into the city to help defend the city."

Dillon, wearing a bulletproof helmet, held up a black eye mask, raised the rifle in his hand and said, "As the commander of the governor, I swear to guard Fengyang to the death!"

Hu Bao also raised the submachine gun in his hand and shouted: "My second brother died under the Tartars' gun back then. I had long wanted to take revenge. Now that I have the gun provided by the governor, I am still afraid of a ball, so I will shoot the Tartars' parents who don't know me!"

Lin Yu expressed satisfaction with the high morale of Shen Jilian. At least these people were all bloody men. He waved, "Go away, take advantage of the darkness to break through the Qing army's position, and I personally send you to Fengyang City."

The battle was imminent, and the Mekava tank, which was the main firepower, was of course driven by Lin Yu, and the transport vehicle was handed over to Li Wei's hands.

With the roar of the engine, Mekava was in front, and the transport vehicle then raised dust all the way and drove towards Fengyang City like lightning along the post road. In just over half an hour, it had approached the battlefield of artillery fire.

The Qing army took turns to attack the city, not giving the defenders a chance to breathe, and was bombarding the city with eight hundred artillery.

The sound of cannons sounded for two days and two nights, causing the Qing army's hearing to decline. It was not until Mekava and the transport vehicle approached the Qing army's position that the Qing army spies discovered it and hurriedly flew to Duoduo.

"Open fire!"

Lin Yu, who had been holding back all the way, pressed the launch button and reminded Gu Jinxi beside him, "Press this and you can shoot a cannon!"

A grenade flew out of the cannon barrel with flames, and several Qing army artillery that were about five hundred meters ahead of them. The bombing immediately made people overturn and iron cannons flew.

"No, the Ming army's armored car is coming!"

The Qing army blocked directly in front of Mekava was in chaos. They fled in all directions regardless of the constraints of the leader, and soon made a way out.

"Who dares to run around will be killed immediately!"

A guerrilla led more than ten cavalrymen to slash their swords and cut down seven or eight heads, and then suppressed the frightened soldiers like birds.
