Chapter 796: Bloody Battle in Nanchang (1)
Zuo Liangyu now has an army of 100,000 and feels that he has the chance to win, so he directly gave up defending Nanchang, brought all his main army out of Nanchang City, and surrounded Sun Chuanting in the middle with his subordinates from other three directions.
However, what Zuo Liangyu didn't expect was that before he could do it himself, Sun Chuanting would take the lead!
"Eigo, do you see that? We are only six miles away from Nanchang City, Zuo Liangyu took all the main forces of his army out of the city in one go, ready to besiege us, but he didn't know, how could such a narrow space be able to open his 50,000 troops in Nanchang City? ”
Sun Chuanting sneered.
Gao Jie nodded slightly, what the Inspector said was right, now the main army of Jiujiang Town is pouring out, from outside Nanchang City to the front of the formation, the whole army is secretly numb, squeezed into a pimple, although such a formation helps to defend against the assault of the cavalry, but, after all, Jiujiang Town is not against the Manchurian elite cavalry, but the two towns of Nanjing, which are dominated by infantry, the biggest advantage of the two towns of Nanjing is firearms, extremely sharp firearms, such a dense camp, encountered a powerful firearms attack, that is, digging a grave.
"Order, mobilize all the artillery in Nanjing Houzhen, concentrate on firing at the Chinese army in Jiujiang Town, musketeers, slowly move forward, don't rush to charge!"
Sun Chuanting gave the order for the first line of attack, and the fifty artillery pieces of Nanjing Houzhen and Nanjing Qianzhen opened fire together, and the shells smashed towards the position of Jiujiang Town!
The power of the red-clothed artillery is extraordinary, the maximum range is enough to cover the head of Nanchang City, and now all the main forces of Jiujiang Town are gathered in this small space, but it is in the middle or the arms of the artillery, one shell after another whistled down from the sky, smashed on the position of Jiujiang Town, the unlucky soldiers of Jiujiang Town were so frightened that they avoided everywhere, however, the cannonballs in the sky smashed straight down, and it was too late to hide, and one by one the soldiers were directly smashed into meat sauce!
Zuo Liangyu raised his eyebrows and wiped it, Lao Tzu hasn't done it yet, Sun Chuanting of the dog day actually made the first move!
"Order, cavalry assault, attack Sun Chuanting's army!"
Although Zuo Liangyu's Jiujiang Town has always been in the south, there are a lot of cavalry under his command, and there are five or six thousand cavalry under his command, although the combat power is not very strong, but it is scary enough!
Groups of cavalry launched a surprise attack towards the front, and the Chinese army that went straight to the back town of Nanjing was killed!
A thousand musketeers also advanced slowly, seeing the assault of the cavalry, the musketeers were divided left and right, forming three phalanxes, and began to shoot at the cavalry in turns, the musketeers in the back town of Nanjing naturally could not be compared with the right town of Nanjing, and the accuracy of the shooting was much worse, but the same cavalry of Zuo Liangyu compared with the Manchurian cavalry, I am afraid that the shoes of the Manchurian cavalry are not worthy!
Bang bang bang......
Several waves of musket fire, the cavalry of Jiujiang Town in the charge were beaten and fell off their horses, the cavalry of Jiujiang Town was two hundred steps away, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and they entered two hundred steps, and before they could assault within a hundred steps, they were driven to more than two hundred people, and the entire forward was broken, what a fierce musket!
Not only was the cavalry panicked, but even Zuo Liangyu in the back was a big change in his face, powerful, too powerful, these musketeers were able to give the cavalry a deadly threat at a distance of two hundred paces, no wonder, no wonder, in the Central Plains, the Manchurian elite cavalry could not help the Ming army, and finally had to use the eye-catching gold and silver and status to win over himself and Zhang Xianzhong and Ma Shiying, if they were equipped with 10,000 muskets, the Manchurian elite cavalry really couldn't take any advantage, and there were not many Manchurians in total, It was only by relying on the ferocity of the cavalry that the Ming army had no power to fight back, and now the appearance of muskets has caused such huge casualties to the cavalry, and the Manchurians can withstand such attrition?
After only a few waves of shooting, the cavalry of Jiujiang Town couldn't parry, the forwards retreated one after another, and were beaten back by the ferocious muskets, and the general Zuo Menghuan, full of cold sweat, ran back to Zuo Liangyu's face, and said urgently: "Dashuai, Dashuai, the muskets of the Ming army are too powerful, and our cavalry can't rush through at all......"
"Useless stuff!"
Zuo Liangyu said hatefully, "Send the order down, order the brothers in the three directions to launch a siege, aren't they just musketeers of less than a thousand people?" We are besieging on all sides, we don't believe that they can still parry, the cavalry should not attack for the time being, and wait for the Ming army to launch a surprise attack when they can't parry! ”
Zuo Liangyu gave an order, and the 20,000 infantry in front began to approach the front, and the armies in the other three directions also began to pounce on the Ming army!
Zhong Yue looked coldly at Zuo Liangyu's army approaching from three directions, he really didn't take these forty or fifty thousand people in his eyes, after all, compared with the back town of Nanjing, the front town of Nanjing is the real elite force, even compared with the left and right towns of Nanjing, it will definitely not fall behind, even if Sun Chuanting transfers his own cavalry, he will not be at a disadvantage!
"Ding Yanping, you block the attack of the rebels on the left flank, Zhong Qin, you block the attack of the rebels behind, Li Wanda, follow our Chinese army, attack with all your strength and crush their right flank!"
Zhong Yue is a great talent, he was just a pearl in the dust, he didn't meet Bole, after all, he was still excavated by Zhu Jie, the situation on the battlefield in front of him is obvious, that is, the rebels on the right wing are the weakest, if you concentrate your forces and solve the rebels on the right wing first, then the rest of the time, it will be easy to do!
Ding Yanping and Zhong Qin contained the attack of the rebels in other directions, and Zhong Yue led the main force to attack the rebels on the right flank, and the rebels on the right flank were reinforcements from Fuzhou, because Fuzhou was the closest to Nanchang, so the troops were the weakest, only six or seven thousand people, and now Zhong Yue mobilized six thousand elite troops in one breath and launched an attack on the rebels in Jiujiang Town in Fuzhou!
Jing Ruoyuan Yue Zhi, moving like a thunderbolt, Nanjing Qianzhen with Zhong Yue's attack, directly pounced, Fuzhou guerrilla general Du Ying's face changed greatly, wiped it, this general in front of him is picking soft persimmons to pinch ah, he has six or seven thousand people, he actually attacked himself with all his strength!
Before the soldiers below panicked, Du Ying panicked first, how can this battle be fought?
The soldiers of Nanjing Qianzhen collided with the Fuzhou rebels fiercely, and the Fuzhou rebels could not be killed and retreated, Du Ying responded with all his strength, and could not prevent the retreat of the Fuzhou rebels, and the rebels in the other two directions naturally saw it clearly, and kept putting pressure on the soldiers of Nanjing Qianzhen in front of them, trying to defeat Nanjing Qianzhen as soon as possible and support Du Ying.
But Ding Yanping and Zhong Qin each led three or four thousand people, nailed to the position, and they just didn't take half a step back!
