Chapter 825: Flames Shine in the Sky, Blood Stains the Yangtze River (4)
Zhang Xianzhong originally led six or seven boats to quickly approach the bank of the Yangtze River, but when he arrived at the shore, only three boats remained, and the rest of the boats were also destroyed by fire and sank into the river.
Ran to the shore in a hurry, Zhang Xianzhong had no more than a thousand people around him, miserable, and then look at the river, it is still a flame, and now it is not only the dozens of big ships that are burning, even the smaller ships are already burning, although the rockets are not enough, but the imperial sailors still have flowering cannons, not much, that is, twenty or thirty guns, but even if it is twenty or thirty, the Great Western Army drinks a pot, after all, as soon as the flowering cannon explodes, a small boat will be scrapped, and the big ship will be blown out of a big hole!
On the boats, the Great Western Army kept running around, with flames on their bodies, ghosts crying and wolves howling, and the soldiers jumped into the Yangtze River like dumplings, trying to escape.
However, if it is peacetime, the chance of escape is not small, after all, most of them are recruited by Sichuan, and the southerners are quite proficient in water, and it is still very possible to survive in the water, but now it is different, the flames on the Yangtze River rise, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, the sound of cannons and gunshots shakes the earth, and the explosion of the flowering bomb even blows up a large piece of wood, falls on the river, smashes on the body, and it will definitely die, even if it is not stoned to death, it must be drowned.
Fear, panic, and injuries have become the lifeline of the Great Western Army, even if they jump into the Yangtze River, they are afraid that they will die for a lifetime.
50,000 elites, at least more than 20,000 have been killed now, as for whether the others can survive, it is difficult to say, all the ships have lost control, and the soldiers of the Daxi Army who are at a loss are blocked in the middle, there is no way to go to the sky, there is no way to enter the ground, and they can only wait for death in despair.
"Almost, the order goes down, all the musketeers, all land, ready to intercept and kill all the traitors who escaped from the Yangtze River, and Zhang Xianzhong must be captured alive!"
Cha Xuan shouted coldly.
This time, Cha Xuan personally went out on horse, waved his hand, and led the elite of nearly 2,000 sailors to take a small boat and began to rush straight to the bank of the Yangtze River.
Cha Xuan took people to the south bank, Zheng Haotian almost at the same time, ordered the deputy chief soldier He Haoran to lead a thousand sailors elite to the north bank, now on the river, all the ships that should have sunk have sunk, and those that have not yet sunk have already been burned to the sky, and they have been burned, even if the Great Western Army on the ship is not drowned, on the ship, sooner or later it will become a roast suckling pig.
After all, not only Zhang Xianzhong was so lucky, the ship rushed to the shore, and occasionally other ships rushed to the opposite shore, and the soldiers on the ship escaped the great victory.
Even if there are 10,000 or 20,000 of these people, the strength is still far superior to the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Naval Division in front of them, but one is a frightened bird that has just escaped, and the other is the elite of the Naval Division who are ready to go.
One by one, the soldiers of the Great Western Army, a small group of the Great Western Army, as long as they were seen by the officers and soldiers of the naval division who landed on the shore, they went up and there was a burst of random gunfire, and all the soldiers who had just escaped were once again slaughtered by a new round of slaughter, which was unbearable!
Zhang Xianzhong has gathered nearly 2,000 people around him at this time, and it is also the largest force in the rout, Zhang Xianzhong, who was a little frightened, gradually recovered from the panic with the help of Liu Jinzhong, and wanted to cry without tears, 50,000 elites, when he was in Chengtianfu, Sun Kewang was defeated in a battle, and more than 20,000 people were killed, and he also scolded Sun Kewang for being a pig, and today his battle is even worse than Sun Kewang, 50,000 elites, died in a battle, this is 50,000 elites, if you fight on land, don't explain the military and naval division, Even if the Tianwei Army is here, it is impossible to eat its own elite in such a short period of time! When pigs fly!
"Damn Zhu Jie, he actually ambushed the sailor here a long time ago, and fought Lao Tzu's ambush, this hatred and hatred are not shared!"
Zhang Xianzhong roared angrily.
"Yes, and that Ma Shiying, Nanjing dispatched so many sailors, it is impossible for them not to know the situation, this guy didn't reveal a bit to us, damn it!"
Liu Jinzhong was also indignant, this was obviously put on a table by Ma Shiying, this stuffy loss is too explosive!
"Okay, Your Majesty, General Liu, now is not the time for us to talk nonsense, our generals are too dangerous, we must leave here immediately, retreat in the direction of Jiujiang, and prepare to join Liu Wenxiu in the direction of Jiujiang, if we don't leave, wait for the Ming army to catch up, we just can't go if we want to!"
Ma Yuanli shouted urgently.
Zhang Xianzhong nodded, there is no way, the army is annihilated, the attack on Nanjing City is already out of reach, whether you can return to Jiujiang or Wuchang safely is still between the two, now retreat immediately, maybe you can get rid of the Ming army, if the action is slow, with the current state of the Great Western Army, not to mention less than 2,000 people, even if there are 10,000 people, what can you do, it is still not the opponent of the Ming army's water division, and the courage has been frightened!
However, even if you want to leave now, it is too late.
As soon as Zhang Xianzhong turned his horse's head and was about to retreat in the southwest direction, Cha Xuan led an elite army to chase in the direction of Zhang Xianzhong!
Before the team arrived, the sound of flintlock muskets had already resounded, attack, attack, this is the best opportunity to encircle and annihilate Zhang Xianzhong!
Bang bang bang......
Random guns rang out, and one by one the unlucky soldiers were hit by bullets, and they couldn't stop howling, and the Great Western Army was in chaos again!
"Fuck, the order, the whole army should fight, Lao Tzu fought with them!"
Zhang Xianzhong looked at the officers and soldiers of the naval division not far away, the strength should not exceed 1,000 people, after all, they are all naval divisions, not infantry battalions, and their combat power on land should be very limited, but they have 2,000 people, and there are a lot of guerrillas around.
Zhang Xianzhong gave an order, Ma Yuanli shook the big gun in his hand, rode a war horse he had just found, and rushed forward with the remnants of the defeated generals!
The corners of Cha Shu's mouth brought out a sneer, grandma, Lao Tzu was cheated in Dongchang Mansion for a wave, but he was seriously injured, and all the colorful heads were snatched away by Yifan to Mu Feng, this time he was so powerful that he was powered, Zhang Xianzhong, today your little life Lao Tzu is going to be decided!
