Chapter 801: Bloody Battle in Nanchang (6)
Zuo Mengeng was completely stupid, and the handsome man was killed, doesn't that mean that the entire Jiujiang Town will collapse? Without Zuo Liangyu, Jiujiang Town would fall apart in an instant, even if he could barely integrate the forces of Jiujiang Town, Sun Chuanting's army would not give him such time.
"Meng Geng, don't hesitate, at this time, we only have to gather the army first, retreat temporarily, and then make plans, the news of the death of the marshal will not be long before it spreads throughout the battlefield, and when the time comes, the army will be in chaos, and it will be impossible for us to control the situation!"
Zuo Menghuan shouted urgently.
Zuo Mengeng nodded hurriedly, Zuo Menghuan said well, at this time, if you still fight here, it won't take long for the entire army of Jiujiang Town to completely collapse, even if the strength of Jiujiang Town is still better than the strength of the two towns of Nanjing, it is still useless, the army is in chaos, they are fighting separately, it is difficult not to lose!
"Cousin, immediately send an order to Du Ying on the right flank, give up the attack, lead the main force to move closer to us, and order the elite cavalry to immediately move closer to Guo Kailai's division on the left flank, strictly restrain the whole army, and retreat in the direction of Ruizhou!"
Zuo Mengeng shouted urgently.
However, at this time, it is not so easy to get out of the battlefield, they are not facing Nanjing Houzhen, but Nanjing Qianzhen, the fierce Nanjing Qianzhen!
At this time, how could Zhong Yue easily let the army led by Zuo Mengeng get out? Finally, Nanjing Qianzhen persevered, a day of fierce fighting, Nanjing Qianzhen's casualties are not small, after all, it is facing a siege of three times its own troops, if it is replaced by other parts, I am afraid that it will be beaten down a long time ago!
Zhong Yue gave an order, and the whole army attacked, entangled the Zuo Mengeng department in front of him, and waited for the counterattack behind the Inspector!
At this time, night fell, it was late, Sun Chuanting led Nanjing Houzhen to finish the battle ahead, after all, Zuo Liangyu died, Zuo Menghuan ran away, leaving only one He Zhongju to fight with all his strength in the middle of the battlefield, however, Zuo Liangyu's death was obviously too big a blow to He Zhongju, and he was flustered, where could he still command the battle in front of him?
The main force of Jiujiang Town, which had no intention of fighting, retreated and surrendered one after another, and the surrender of troops alone exceeded 20,000 people, even He Zhongju faced the elite cavalry and musketeers in front of him, and had to throw down the spear in his hand, and obediently tied his hands, Zuo Liangyu's main force was almost completely lost.
"Yingwu, hand over the battlefield here to me, you and Xu Zongzhen immediately led the elite cavalry, outflanked Zuo Mengeng behind him, and must surround the main force under his command, and strive to annihilate it in one fell swoop!"
Sun Chuanting shouted in a deep voice.
Gao Jie didn't dare to slack off, and Xu Zongzhen led five thousand elites, rushing down due west, obviously, once Zuo Mengeng couldn't hold on, fled to the west, and entered Huguang from the junction of Ruizhou and Nanchang, it was his only choice, staying in Jiangxi and going east, there was only a dead end. Since this is the case, it is necessary to cut off Zuo Menggeng's back road first, outflank it in a roundabout way, and surround all Jiujiang Town.
As for Sun Chuanting, now he can only light a pile of bonfires, leading the infantry in Nanjing Houzhen, and supervising the surrender of a team, now the two towns of Nanjing are not enough troops, after this battle, although they defeated Jiujiang Town, but the loss of troops in the two towns of Nanjing is not small, although the current combat power of these surrendered troops is not particularly strong, but after all, it is much stronger than the common people, not to mention that there are a lot of elite veterans, that is the real wealth, these surrendered troops, originally the Ming army, Many of them are not even willing to rebel against the imperial court, but Zuo Liangyu wants to rebel, and the following soldiers naturally want to follow the chief soldier. Anyway, whoever gives food will follow whoever fights, and in this era, how many people who serve as soldiers are soldiers with the ideal of protecting their families and defending the country? Isn't it for the sake of eating?
Sun Chuanting reorganized and surrendered troops overnight, cleaned up the battlefield in front, and in the rear, the tragic battle continued!
A single Nanjing Qianzhen can't help Zuo Mengeng, at least, Zhong Yue doesn't have such a big appetite, and swallows all of Zuo Menggeng's forty or fifty thousand troops in one go, a snake swallows an elephant, it will choke to death; However, now that Gao Jie and Xu Zongzhen are leading 5,000 elite cavalry to participate in the battle, it is different, 5,000 elite cavalry have been added all of a sudden, and there are thousands of musketeers behind to help, so Jiujiang Town is even less of an opponent.
In the face of the strong Nanjing Qianzhen, Jiujiang Town, which has no intention of fighting, constantly retreats to the west, according to the original strategy left by Zuo Liangyu, once defeated, then retreat from Ruizhou to Huguang, originally this is just a backup hand just in case, I didn't expect it, it really came true, but Zuo Liangyu never had a chance to enter Huguang again, and he couldn't die anymore if he was already dead.
Zuo Mengeng led the army under his command to constantly retreat and assault, but Gao Jie and Xu Zongzhen did not give him such a chance at all, 5,000 elite cavalry and 1,000 musketeers completely blocked the retreat road of Jiujiang Town in the west, and 5,000 elite cavalry continued to divide, surround and strangle the soldiers of Jiujiang Town, and the musketeers on both wings occupied their positions and continued to shoot pointingly, Zuo Mengeng wanted to rush out, how easy was it to say?
Zuo Menghuan on the side shouted to Zuo Menggeng: "Menggeng, there is no other way, give up the infantry behind, and lead the elite cavalry to assault with all your might, maybe we can get rid of the elite cavalry of the Ming army, if we are eaten away by the Ming army little by little, at most one day and one night, we will be wiped out, and there will be no place to die!" ”
Zuo Mengeng didn't know that staying here was just a dead end, but he had to be able to rush out, five thousand elite horsemen blocked the way, and there were musketeers on both wings who kept shooting, this was an iron wall......
"Rush! If you can't rush over, you have to rush! ”
Zuo Mengeng gritted his teeth, cheered up and led the elite cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the Ming army elite cavalry in front of him again, fighting against the water, rushing out and still being able to save his life, if he couldn't rush out, he would never be able to live, the two of them were the Zuo family, Pan Xiang court, and they definitely wanted to punish the nine clans, at least, neither of them could live!
Zuo Mengeng and Zuo Menghuan Du Ying led the only elite to fight bloodily, and finally killed out of the gap, and the cavalry ran out, but how could the uncommanded infantry run out?
Pieces of infantry fall to their knees and surrender!
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that the war ended, Sun Chuanting fought a battle, killed more than 30,000 rebels under Zuo Liangyu, and captured nearly 40,000 people.
The first war is decided, and the overall situation of Jiangxi has been decided!
