Before Nikan died in battle, he did one thing in particular, which was to send a message to Dorgon and Ajige about the iron-armored monster of the Ming army, reporting it to Dorgon and Ajige, claiming that the monster had to try to restrain it. Then Nikan organized the remaining soldiers to carry out a dying attack. This Jedi counterattack caused considerable casualties to the Ming army, but in the face of the Ming army's numerical and firepower advantages, Nikan eventually died in battle, and all the Qing soldiers who charged with him were also killed in battle.

Guan Zantang looked at the Qing army who had died all over the place and finally maintained a fighting posture, and couldn't help but feel a little respect from the bottom of his heart. The Qing army of this era was indeed worthy of the title of warrior.

The Ming army conducted a key search for Nikan's residence. Qi Sheng, the Jinyiwei, was naturally unwilling to let go of any clues. Guan Zantang was also well aware of the importance of information, so he cooperated with the Jinyiwei's intelligence work. Qi Sheng rushed here with great enthusiasm and wanted to find something valuable, but to Qi Sheng's disappointment, he was not found a useful piece of paper.

Finally, Qi Sheng's eyes fell on a wooden box. It was a red painted wooden box. The wooden box was not big and had three drawers. The soldiers had checked it and Qi Sheng had also seen it. It contained yellow-brown medicine powder. Once you pulled open the drawer, you could smell the strong smell of medicine.

Guan Zantang happened to walk in and saw Qi Sheng picking up a pinch of medicine powder from the drawer, put it on his nose and smelling it left and right, and rubbing it on his hands as soon as he was about to.

Guan Zan Tang said:

"Mr. Qi, isn't this medicine powder of Tartars a poison? Could it be that it's ginseng powder?"

"Battle Commander Guan, there are only some names here."

Guan Zantang was very strange. This medicine might be the Qing army's golden sore medicine. In everything, it is necessary to fight in wars. What is the reason for this?

"What's the name?"

Qi Sheng glanced at the soldiers in the room. Guan Zantang saw Qi Sheng's mysterious expression and immediately said to several soldiers:

"You guys go somewhere else to see."

After the soldiers left, Qi Sheng whispered:

"Brave Commander Guan, I'm going to tell you that Bei Zhi received a message from the Qing army that there was a magical powder that ordinary Qing soldiers had no chance to take. Only red-armored soldiers and white-armored soldiers could take. After taking it, the strength increased greatly, and he was not tired of fighting, and he was not afraid of pain, and his combat power increased a lot. This matter was also a secret among the Qing army. When Bei Zhi heard this rumor, he did not dare to believe it easily. Seeing this box of Chinese medicine powder today, he remembered this matter, or it was unknown whether the powder was the legendary powder. Otherwise, Nikan would not have prepared so many powders. Bei Zhi thought, if he handed the powder to a famous doctor for verification, he could verify whether the rumors were true."

When Guan Zantang heard this, he was surprised and questioned:

"Is there such a thing? It's really unbelievable! Guan couldn't believe that this is really happening."

Qi Sheng sighed and said:

"I'm also skeptical about this matter. Believe it. All those selling Dali Pills on the market are tricks of deception. Don't believe it. Liaodong produces all kinds of drugs of ginseng, bear, bile, tiger whip. How can I know that there are no foreigners who can match it with peerless magic recipes! In addition, the red-armored and white-armored soldiers of the Tartars are indeed extremely fierce on the battlefield, or it is unknown if there is any truth. I think it's better to believe it than to not. Of course, this matter is a bit ridiculous, and I don't know if it should be reported to the emperor if it's reported."

Guan Zantang said solemnly:

"Of course, this matter should be reported to the emperor. As for this medicine powder, you and I cannot judge whether it is the magical medicine you mentioned. Only a master miracle doctor like an imperial physician can verify it. If this medicine powder is simply an ordinary medicine, then nothing is wrong. The emperor once said that no detail can be missed, as details determine success or failure. Therefore, even if it is an ordinary medicine, the emperor will never blame it. But on the other hand, if this medicine powder is really that magical medicine, or it is related to that magical medicine, if it is not reported to the emperor in time, it is your and my crime."

Qi Sheng nodded frequently and said:

"It's better for Brigade Commander Guan to think carefully. In this way, it's better for you and I to report it to the emperor at the same time."

Looking back, Guan Zantang began to care about the situation of the treasured armored vehicles. There is no doubt that the armored vehicles were the biggest contributors to this battle. If there were no armored vehicles, the Qing army would defend the city. Thinking about the bravery of the Qing army led by Nikan in the end to fight to the death, you can imagine. It would take many days to capture this castle, and countless lives would have to be filled. Guan Zantang felt awe-inspiring when he thought of this.

Among the eight armored vehicles, Deng Xinchao and the others were the most severely damaged. The other three armored vehicles only had a little damage, and it can be said that there was basically no damage. As for the four armored vehicles that went up later, they were almost unscathed. Everyone was surprised by the powerful combat power of the armored vehicles. Sun Du also sighed on the side:

"This armored vehicle is simply an invincible weapon when fighting. The only disadvantage is that it is too difficult to serve."

Qu Song and Sun Du were originally subordinates of Guan Zantang Special Forces. Qu Song was really awesome this time, and Qu Song couldn't tolerate Sun Du saying even a little bad words to his armored car treasure, so he immediately retorted:

"Not to mention that armored vehicles are difficult to serve, that is why we didn't know how to serve them at the beginning. It is so big and so heavy, and it should have been three horses and four horses to pull it. The Ministry of War is better, and it is not a scam! It is of course difficult to serve two horses! I think it is better to use four horses to pull it, so that the shaking soldiers can save some strength. Only when fighting is done, the brigade commander, you see, it is reasonable to use such great achievements, and it is traction with four horses!"

Guan Zan Tang sighed:

"Yes, you have made great contributions this time. I'll record the horse matter for you. I'll follow you. I don't know if this car can be repaired. I didn't expect that this car could withstand such a violent explosion. It's a pity that the person inside was actually shocked and injured!"

The tracks on both sides of Deng Xinchao's car were broken and the barrel was also erroneously blown. Apart from this, it was not damaged. Of course, it was a bit difficult to disassemble it, because many bolts were blown up, so it was afraid it would be difficult to remove the nut.

Among the three injured people, You Yongfu was seriously injured and died in the car. Lu Qixi is still in a coma. Only Deng Xinchao is better, but the internal injuries are not minor. Deng Xinchao and Lu Qixi have been sent for treatment, but only Guo Longda and Ershun are reluctant to leave their armored vehicles. At this moment, a group of maintenance craftsmen are surrounding the armored vehicles, replacing the tracks while discussing, saying:

"I didn't expect that such a violent explosion did not deal with the car. Except for the gun barrel, it was just a matter of changing a track, and it was still easy to use."

That said:

"Yes, without the gun barrel, aren't there any machine guns? You can still fight the Tartars."

Another said:

"This armored chariot is so majestic. When the Tatar cavalry sees it, they will have to run away from a distance. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, our treasured iron armored chariot will be frightened whenever it appears in the future."

－－－－－－－

Chongzhen received a war report from Guan Zantang and Qi Sheng, and Long Yan was very happy.

Du Jun and Bai Hengdu never thought that the power of the armored vehicle would be as good as this. Chongzhen saw that everyone was in high spirits and said with a smile:

"The Tartars were stunned by the armored vehicles this time. They suffered losses because they didn't know how to crack them. If they could know the trick in the future, this armored vehicle was actually not that scary!"

Bai Hengdu thought about it and said:

"Although I don't know what the emperor has, I think that since ancient times, there has been no indestructible spear or indestructible shield. Relying on a magic weapon, I want to rampant the world, which is by no means a way to use troops. The emperor's wisdom! It is a blessing for my ming dynasty!"

Du Jun was very excited about the great achievements of the armored vehicle, and only felt that the chariot was powerful, so he said:

"There must be a way to deal with such powerful armored vehicles. However, I want to know what the Qing army can do to crack it. According to me, my Ming armored vehicles will be the nightmare of the Qing army in the future. With the ability of the Qing army, it may not be that easy to crack it."

Chongzhen shook his head and said:

"Du Aiqing is very confident! Well, of course, this armored vehicle is not so easy to crack. Of course there are methods, but by the time they think of a way to crack it, maybe the Qing army is almost finished."

Chongzhen said this, knowing that the Japanese would teach the Qing army the trick of bombing armored vehicles immediately. In addition, there is another possibility, that the Japanese would create hollow-loaded armored bullets and then sell them to the Qing army. With the Japanese technology, it is not difficult to create hollow-loaded armored bullets. In fact, Wang Chengen had already created such hollow-loaded armored bullets, and the test-firing effect was pretty good. But after weighing the pros and cons, he would put them down first. It seems that this thing should be kept for the future against Japan. There seems to be no need to deal with the Qing army. Once this bullet is used in actual combat, it will be a matter of time before it is leaked. If the Japanese really made this bullet and sold it to the Qing army, it would not be able to save the Qing army.

Chongzhen intended to pour cold water on everyone. In addition, Chongzhen became interested in the matter of medicine powder, so he said:

"The combat tactics of armored vehicles are still very immature and need to be summarized carefully. For example, the two horses decided by the Ministry of War were taken for granted. Now they reported that the horses they need to be equipped with should be doubled. This is a lesson. You must summarize them carefully. In short, you have to explore a series of practical tactics. Okay, that's all about the matter of armored vehicles. Let's talk about this medicine powder, Jiyun, go and call Zhang Lu over."

Du Junxian had already considered the matter of medicine powder and said now:

"I have heard that doctors can indeed prepare magical medicines such as 'Dali Pills'. I heard that it is not the fake medicines of 'Dali Pills' that are scattered in the market. Legend has it that they are really effective. Think about it, Mongolian cavalry and Tartar cavalry should be comparable, but the Mongols can't defeat the Tartars. I often heard the King of Zhen Liao that the white-armored and red-armored Tartars have brute force, and the brave men of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry cannot stand their edge. Therefore, I think that it is true, and it is unknown."

When Chongzhen heard this, beloved, Du Jun did not care whether he believed it or not, he believed it anyway. Chongzhen turned to Bai Hengdu, and Bai Hengdu said:

"I dare not make any reason, but I left a little of the medicine powder I sent. I carefully tested the medicine powder, and it seemed that there were ephedra, horse money, musk, and I was aware of medical principles, only knowing that these have the effects of refreshing the mind and promoting blood circulation. If you take this medicine, you will have a great ability, which seems to be too exaggerated."

When Chongzhen heard that there was ephedra and Ma Qianzi in the medicine powder, his heart was thrilled. Oh my God, this is not a stimulant! In the later years, there were many scandals about athletes taking stimulant. Some athletes accidentally took Chinese patent medicines such as ephedra, which caused positive urine tests and were punished in a daze. It should be noted that ephedra contains mahuang alkali, and Ma Qianzi contains Shidening, which has all stimulant ingredients. In the 1980s, there were incidents of coaches giving drugs before the game in the football world. After taking the medicine, the players were different on the court. They were full of energy and could run particularly. A weak team could even play a super-level momentum.

I don’t know how the Qing army got the prescription, nor do I know if the Qing army took it on a large scale, but it seems that some people in the Qing army do take stimulants.

With Zhang Lu's arrival, it was confirmed that there were indeed ephedra, mahjongzi and musk in the medicine powder. At this point, Chongzhen was really speechless. Damn, Qing Jun is really taking stimulants!

Cheating! This is a complete cheating, no wonder we can't beat them by hand!

Fortunately, God sent a fair referee - that is, himself. In the face of this shameful behavior of taking stimulants, it is appropriate to give any punishment. Therefore, Chongzhen found a psychological balance at this moment, well, an extra balance! In the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, he blew a black whistle! Fundamentally, it was just to find the fairness that the Ming Dynasty responded to.
