Chapter 833: The Great War against Ma Shiying (3)
Zhao Zhenghang is naturally not a fool, of course he knows what the biggest hidden danger he is facing, his firearms battalion has trained a batch of elites, it can be said, but everything related to firearms can not be bypassed h Zhao Zhenghang, it can be said that his attainments in firearms can now be alone.
However, Zhao Zhenghang's biggest problem is that the firearms battalion has suffered serious blood loss, and it is not in the eyes of the ordinary, now the musketeers who have come out of his command have already exceeded the establishment of a battalion, and together they are almost enough to equip a town, no less than 8,000 musketeers, since Zhu Jie came to Nanjing, Zhao Zhenghang was placed by Zhu Jie on the important task of training the firearms battalion, but even if 8,000 people were trained, there was still no one in the firearms battalion, and there were only less than 1,000 musketeers under his hands. Compared with the elite musketeers of Nanjing Zuozhen and even the Tianwei Army, the remaining 1,000 people are the most junior and have not been fully trained in combat power.
Of course, if there are 1,000 musketeers and another artillery, they will definitely not be at a disadvantage if they compete with Ma Shiying, but what about artillery? Zhao Zhenghang took over all the red-coated cannons manufactured by the Firearms Bureau, trained them, and trained a batch of artillery, and was sent away by a group of artillery, and the last batch of artillery was all taken to Jiangxi by Sun Chuanting, not only the artillery, but even the last batch of artillery was taken away by Sun Chuanting.
Don't talk about Zhao Zhenghang now, even in Nanjing City, there are not many artillery, and in the face of Ma Shiying's Fengyang army, which is several times his strength, the pressure faced by Zhao Zhenghang can be seen.
Zhao Zhenghang also saw that Ma Shiying may use the artillery behind him to attack him at any time, he must not sit still, once the artillery begins to attack, there will definitely be a huge hole in his musketeer defense line, and when the time comes, he will face the impact of three or four thousand cavalry, the musketeers are okay to say, the new recruits behind him can't withstand the impact of the cavalry, and they are afraid that they will collapse in an instant.
"Order, press all our musketeers! Tell Hong Dewang that his hundreds of cavalry should be ready to attack, ready to shoot, this wave, Lao Tzu is going to beat Ma Shiying's cavalry to the point that he doesn't even know his mother! ”
Hong Dewang is Duan Xuan's deputy, Duan Xuan stayed to protect Zhu Jie, hundreds of elites of the Ministry of Intelligence were taken out of Nanjing City by Hong Dewang, and now He Jiu led the cavalry to charge again, Zhao Zhenghang's order was issued, Hong Dewang immediately waved his hand, and one by one the cavalry took the flintlock muskets in their hands!
The reason why Zhu Jie has the confidence to let Sun Chuanting take away all the front and back towns of Nanjing in one breath is because in the Ministry of Intelligence, there is still such an elite existence, there are not many troops, a total of only about 1,000 people, Gao Jie has only left more than 200 people, although the rest is only 800 people, but the combat power is strong, compared to the right town of Nanjing, this is a real elite force, it is Gao Jie as early as the Tianwei Army, began to select the army soldiers!
A thousand musketeers are enough for Qian Hai's cavalry to drink a pot, Qian Hai thought that the Ming army in Nanjing City had this strength, as long as he defeated the musketeers in front of him, everything would be fine, but he didn't know that the hidden strength of others was far stronger than the surface strength he and Ma Shiying saw!
One thousand musketeers plus six hundred cavalry, one thousand six hundred muskets, shooting with all their might, this time compared to the two charges launched by Qian Hai just now, the losses were even heavier!
Not only the front of the cavalry, but even the left flank of the cavalry was instantly shattered by the fierce rifle fire!
One by one, the cavalry turned over and fell off their horses, in terms of shooting level, the elite of the intelligence department was even higher than the soldiers of the musket battalion, and the fight was very accurate, the unlucky Fengyang cavalry was beaten around, and they couldn't stop screaming, the cavalry was all messed up this time, and the three thousand cavalry were completely in chaos!
Qian Hai, who was not far away, saw it clearly, his face changed greatly, if it was just to pay some casualties, he Qian Hai would be able to accept it, but the formation was chaotic, but it was different, at this time, the formation of the cavalry was chaotic, once it encountered a surprise attack, the cavalry would be unlucky, and the cavalry on the left flank of the Ming army in the distance had begun to move, just looking at a wave of shooting, I knew that this was the strongest combat power of the Ming army, stronger than the thousand musketeers of the Chinese army!
"Herald, Mingjin! Collect the troops and order the cavalry to retreat immediately! ”
However, at this time, Qian Haifang reacted, and it was obvious that it was too late!
Hong Dewang got Zhao Zhenghang's order, and what he was waiting for was the moment when the cavalry collapsed, and now the cavalry finally collapsed, and the entire cavalry formation has been completely dispersed, which is the opportunity for him to show his skills!
"Command, attack, brothers, our buddies' chance to make a name for themselves has come! Charge! ”
Six hundred elite cavalry surged out, like a hurricane, and launched a fierce attack on the Fengyang cavalry!
The Fengyang cavalry who were about to retreat are now completely in a dilemma, retreating, will be followed and pursued by the cavalry of the Ming army, if the pursuit alone is not the most unlucky, if the musket in the hand of the person fires with all its might, it is a tragic pursuit and annihilation battle; But don't retreat, go straight to the battle? That's also looking for death, the whole army has just given the order to retreat now, the formation is scattered, and it suddenly changes to meet the attack, isn't that death?
Qian Hai is now about to regret his death, regret it, if he knew this, he should have asked the Inspector to send artillery to bombard in advance, now it's okay, people are evil, they can't live!
The lesser of two evils, now there is no way, attack, can only fight with all their might, maybe with superior forces, there is still a glimmer of life to save the defeat!
"Order, the whole army should fight! Rush! ”
Qian Hai decisively gave the order to fight, and the dazed cavalry responded to the battle in such a daze, and the six hundred elite cavalry of the Intelligence Department directly crashed into Qian Hai's cavalry, turning over the river and the sea, rampage, beating the Fengyang cavalry to a bitter end, and retreated one after another!
"Grandma's! Here's your chance! ”
Zhao Zhenghang was overjoyed and shouted angrily: "Musket battalion, attack!" ”
One by one, the musketeers armed with muskets launched an attack on the opposite Fengyang army!
At this time, Ma Shiying was completely dumbfounded, he didn't expect, he didn't expect at all that this Ming army would be able to turn defeat into victory in the face of 3,000 cavalry, and win more and less! The boat capsized in the gutter!
"Order, order, artillery attack, open artillery, and defeat the musketeers of the Ming army for me!"
Ma Shiying roared hysterically.
