Chapter 956: Qinzhou Confrontation (2)
For a whole day, the two sides fought on the frontal battlefield, and there were casualties on each other.
Sun Chuanting knew that the more fierce and crazy Jilharang's attack was, the more panicked he was now, after all, the fall of Mengjin Ferry was expected, and Zu Dashou would definitely not be able to cope with the attack launched from the east and south at the same time.
However, is my Sun Chuanting so easy to deal with?
As a generation of famous generals, Sun Chuanting is even more eye-catching, looking at the Ming Dynasty, except for the emperor and Lu Xiangsheng, who has been killed in battle, no one has convinced him, and now he has 60,000 troops, and 20,000 or 30,000 Manchurian elite horsemen are in charge, if he still loses, then he should really disarm and return to the field.
After one day of fierce fighting, the two sides did not win or lose, and then the next day the war continued.
Zilharang still ordered the forward battalion to attack, and at the same time began to order the left and right flanks to launch a detour towards the flank position of Sun Chuanting's army, preparing to break the defense line of Sun Chuanting's army from the flank.
After the first day of bloody battles, the army of the two towns of Nanjing and Fengyang Town has settled down a lot, and I always heard that the Manchurian elite cavalry is powerful, but after a day of fierce fighting, the Manchurian elite cavalry did not take advantage of it at all, next, who will be afraid of you?
This time, Sun Chuanting transferred all the 2,000 musketeers to the left and right flanks, but instead mobilized the main force of Nanjing Qianzhen, that is, to have a bloody battle with the opponent to see if the infantry cavalry in Nanjing Qianzhen can defeat the Manchurian elite cavalry in front of him, after all, the cavalry of the three military towns is only six or seven thousand people in total, and the real combat power is only the 3,000 cavalry in Nanjing Qianzhen.
Zhong Yue stood at the forefront of the front town of Nanjing, watching from a distance the Manchurian cavalry who braved the artillery fire to charge, and his heart couldn't help but be a little nervous, he was able to fight with the Manchurian cavalry once, he had been nesting in Nanjing before, not experiencing it personally, he didn't know the strength of the Manchurian cavalry, yesterday he really saw it, Zhong Yue only understood, why Xu Yifan, Qin Mufeng and even Cha Bolt are first-class fierce generals, Tianwei Army is even more famous in the world, but still can't defeat the Manchurian cavalry, the combat power of the Manchurian cavalry is really not covered, comes and goes like the wind, and cavalry and archery are a must, even the cavalry under his command is inferior by three points in these two aspects.
This time, the Governor handed over all the heavy tasks of resisting the frontal attack of the Manchurian elite cavalry to his own hands, and whether he could withstand it or not was up to him.
Rushed through the area covered by the artillery, the Manchurian cavalry went straight to the front town of Nanjing, the forefront of the front town of Nanjing was deployed with pikemen, a soldier with a solemn face, both hands holding high spears, the tip of the spear pointed obliquely, behind were two thousand sword soldiers and one thousand axe soldiers, all of which were prepared by Sun Chuanting for the Manchurian elite cavalry, since the cavalry was difficult to compete with the Manchurian elite cavalry in terms of strength and combat power, it could only rely on the development of the combat power of the infantry.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of elite cavalry broke through the fire blockade of the red-coated artillery and came to the front of the front town of Nanjing, and began to shout and launch a surprise attack on the soldiers.
At this time, whoever retreats, who will die faster, only by stabbing the cavalry in front of him to death, he can pick up a small life, on the battlefield, the most miserable death is the rout who turned and fled, but the elite who went forward had a greater hope of surviving.
One by one, the Manchurian elite cavalry crashed into the spear, the war horse made a terrible neighing sound, and fell to the ground, of course, the soldiers of Nanjing Qianzhen were also miserable, the war horse plus the cavalry, the total weight was more than 700 catties, so high-speed collision, how could it be supported by manpower? A spear broke in response, and the soldiers at the front were hit and flew up, blood spurted out, and some even directly stabbed the broken spear into the chest or abdomen, and it was difficult to save their lives!
A thousand pikemen, heavy casualties, at least more than half of the people have directly withdrawn from the battle, there is no strength to fight again, the rear of the sword and axe soldiers by the moment of the cavalry pause, suddenly rushed up, towards the war horse continued to chop, and Manchurian cavalry in one place, this is the most cumbersome way to defend against cavalry assault, but also out of firearms, the most effective way, to fight for life, life and death completely in the will of heaven, no one can control it.
The frontal position once again fell into a frantic battle, and the most elite Nanjing Qianzhen infantry and Manchurian elite cavalry fought fiercely, and it was not possible to distinguish the winner in a short time.
Zilharang can see clearly in the distance, on the frontal position, the offensive of the Manchurian elite cavalry will not last too long, once the opponent's firearms battalion attacks, the elite cavalry will still fight back, but this time, Sun Chuanting actually put away the cavalry and musketeers, all the infantry is fighting against the elite cavalry, is he so confident, with his own infantry, he can resist the assault of his own cavalry?
However, the current situation is - relying on the infantry of the Chinese army alone, Sun Chuanting has stubbornly withstood the impact of the Manchurian elite cavalry, and he is so strong!
Zilharang said in a deep voice: "Order, the left and right flanks are assaulting, their elites are all gathered in the Chinese army, the two wings must be empty, give me a fierce attack, and I must blow up the flanks of the Ming army!" ”
Each of the two Meler Zhangjing led five thousand elite cavalry and began to launch a roundabout attack on Sun Chuanting's flank from the left and right flanks again, and the two elite cavalry were like lightning, quickly interspersed with the front of the flank position!
Bang bang......
Dense musketeers again!
Waves of bullets are like long eyes, straight to the Manchurian cavalry, the distant Zilharang gritted his teeth angrily, the opponent's musketeers are too difficult to deal with, take turns to shoot, do not leave any space and time for their cavalry to assault, if you want to engage in melee hand-to-hand combat, then you must first break through the defense line of the musket battalion, but every time you break through the direction of the musketeers, there will be huge casualties in the Manchurian cavalry, such casualties, even he can't afford it, even if it is twenty or thirty thousand Manchurian cavalry, it can't afford it!
"Damn bastard!"
Zilharang waved the horsewhip fiercely, but it was useless to be angry and anxious, so he could only charge like this, hoping that the Manchurian elite cavalry could break through the defense of the musket battalion, and then rush forward, as long as the defense was broken, the defensive force of the two wings was definitely not as strong as the frontal position, Zierharang was not stupid, and could resist the infantry of the Manchurian elite cavalry head-on, it must be the elite of a hundred battles like the Tianxiong Army and the Tianwei Army, and the rest could not have such a strong combat power!
