Chapter 492 (Page 1/1)

The last to arrive at the battlefield were nine battalions of Dragon Guard infantry and thirty rounds of Broken Battalion infantry.

The former had nearly 600 men per battalion, and the latter had 360 men per bureau, which means that more than 17,000 infantry had been pressed to the forefront in an instant.

At this time, the formation of Zhang Tianlu's army had been torn apart by artillery and cavalry, and the infantry of the Dragon Guard Army rushed straight to the center of the enemy's army, while the broken camp was divided into two teams, east and west, and attacked both ends of the captive army with all their might.

All the Ming infantry followed the drum beat of the snare drum, and quickly approached about 60 paces away from the enemy, and then they all stopped, and first fired a volley, and immediately nearly 1,000 captives on the southernmost side were shot and killed.

The Ming infantry did not reload after the salvo, and more than 17,000 soldiers erupted into an earth-shattering roar in unison, "Kill!" Under the leadership of the officer, he raised the bayonet on the fire and swooped down on the captives like a flood of floodgates, and immediately the blood rushed to the sky, and the sound of wails and screams filled the night sky.

When formulating the battle plan for the Jurong ambush war, considering that the number of Jianjiao was two and a half times that of the Ming army, and it had a strong counterattack ability, Zhu Linmiao's requirement was that he must take advantage of the scattered formation of the Qing army on the march to inflict maximum damage on the enemy in the shortest possible time, and use the strongest firepower to defeat it in one go!

As soon as the Ming army got started, there was no room for it, and Zhu Linmiao only had half a battalion of infantry and pro-soldier battalions beside him as a reserve, and all other combat strength was on top. The artillery was bombarded with scattered shells at the extreme approach, and the cavalry cut directly into the enemy formation from the flank at the beginning, which was simply a fighting style.

In order to prevent the construction of the captives from separating part of the cannon fodder and hard-capped shells, and at the same time organizing a counterattack in the rear row, the infantry adopted the method of white-knuckle combat at the beginning, quickly rushing into the enemy brigade and breaking up its formation.

In addition, the hand-to-hand combat swords were red, and the soldiers of the Ming army slaughtered in front of the captives like a god of death, which could hit the morale of the captives to the greatest extent and make them quickly collapse in a short period of time.

This set of battles of the Ming army was originally intended to deal with the nearly 70,000 Jianjiao of the Luck Dehun Division, and the intensity of the firepower that erupted in an instant can only be described as "terrifying"!

It's just that by mistake, all this was "enjoyed" by Zhang Tianlu's captive army.

The thunderous attack that was enough to crush the sixty or seventy thousand Qing troops fell on the heads of these more than 10,000 Qing troops, and the vast majority of the soldiers were taken away without knowing what was happening.

From the first charge of the cavalry of the Dragon Guard Army to the Ming army's infantry killing the Qing army's military formation, the entire battle process was about half an hour. Zhang Tianlu's subordinates never received an effective military order, let alone organized a counterattack, it was just a one-sided massacre.

In a short time, the nearly 6,000 surviving captives were held up by bayonets and cavalry swords, and gathered into a large circle, and under the great fright of the man, at least three of them had wet crotches and a stench for a while.

……

Luckedhun was awakened from his sleep by the distant thunderous roar of artillery.

He hurriedly put on his armor and went out of the tent, and saw that the fire in the west was constantly shining in the night, and a large number of shouts and screams could be faintly heard between the dense cannons.

He pulled the officer next to him, pointed to the west side, and said urgently: "What's wrong?!" ”

"Hui, Hui, the general, the last general is not clear." The officer shook his head helplessly, "An hour ago, a team of horsemen was sent to the west to investigate, but there was no strange return......

The scouts sent by Luckedhun were at least thirty cavalry troops, and it was difficult to be annihilated all at once, so if the enemy was discovered, at least one or two would come back alive to report the news.

However, this team of horsemen had gone far before Zhang Tianlu's men and horses arrived at Jurong from the riverside, and they never thought that there would be tens of thousands of main forces of the Ming army three miles away, so they probed all the way to Nanjing without stopping.

Lucked roared anxiously, "Quick! Send someone to probe again! ”

"Huh!"

The officer trotted away, and summoned three teams of horsemen to send out. These dozens of horsemen had just run out of the Qing army camp not far away, but more than 30 people rushed to the horse, asking loudly all the way: "Where is Lord Belle?" ”

Lucketthun heard that the voice seemed to be Yu Yongshou, and hurriedly brought it closer, "What are you doing here?" ”

Yu Yongshou looked so panicked that he forgot to salute, and said hurriedly: "Lord Belle, it's not good!" On the way to the end of the general, he saw a fierce battle in the direction of Jurong, so he asked people to go to investigate, but they were unable to approach because of the guns and cannons nearby. He said pointing to a bloodied captive behind him, "but this man has to be rescued." ”

Lucketthun frowned, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The captive soldier was held by Yu Yongshou's guards, and said incoherently: "Ming army! It's the Ming Army! Suddenly, it popped up like a demon...... The cannons were overwhelming...... Cavalry, and cavalry...... There were thousands of cavalry ......"

Yu Yongshou hurriedly explained to Luck Dehun, "Lord Bei Le, this person is the headquarters of General Zhang's army, and he should have been ambushed by the southerners near Jurong. According to what he said, there should be tens of thousands of people in the southern army, and there were heavy casualties under the command of General Zhang! ”

"How could Zhang Tianlu be in Jurong?!"

"Back to Lord Belle, General Zhang was afraid that the southern army would escape, so he led his troops to Jiangning overnight to intercept him. The last general was afraid that something would be wrong, so he rushed to report it, but he didn't think that General Zhang had been ambushed. ”

To say that this is very slippery for Yu Yongshou. He thought that if Zhang Tianlu made great achievements, if he didn't achieve any results, Lucke would definitely investigate him for "violating military orders", and he would be implicated. After dawn tomorrow, Luck Dehun will definitely learn that the right-wing army has left without permission, and he will not be able to clear up the relationship with this matter by not coming to report it a few hours earlier, but he will not offend Zhang Tianlu too much.

So he brought his guards to the Lucked Hun army to report the news. Unexpectedly, it was difficult to distinguish the direction of the road at night, he walked a little off, was passing by the east side of Jurong, and was bumping into Zhang Tianlu's army being defeated, and immediately turned his head and fled in fright, but picked up a rout on the way, only to get some news.

As he was talking, Babutai came with a few guards and hurried over, and said, "Master, I'm afraid that there will be a change in the west, and the minions have ordered the army to form a formation and prepare for battle, I don't know what ......."

"Tens of thousands of Ming troops? That must be the main force of the Southern Barbarians! Lucker's eyes narrowed, "Zhang Tianlu's department has tens of thousands of horses, even if he is suddenly ambushed, he will definitely be in chaos for a while."

"It's only seven or eight miles away from Jurong, I can take advantage of the Nanban and Zhang Tianlu to fight, and when the formation is chaotic, I will be able to wipe it out in one fell swoop!"

He looked up at the sky that had already revealed a hint of morning light, and waved to Babutai: "Order, the whole army will march west immediately!" Now that these southern barbarians are here, don't even think about escaping! ”

"Huh!"
