Chapter 216: Fierce Battle in Nanyang City
Yes, Sun Chuanting wanted to fight Li Zicheng to the death, in order to be able to repel Li Zicheng as soon as possible, Sun Chuanting even transported all the artillery he brought to the city, and a thousand musketeers were lined up at the front, and the cavalry under Gao Jie was on both sides.
Li Guo doesn't care so much now, this time it's too embarrassing, he almost let his uncle cut himself off, if he doesn't get this face back, he will be in the camp in the future, and he will want to raise his head for the rest of his life!
"Order, the whole army assaults!"
Li Guo gave an order, and more than 20,000 horsemen under his command rushed towards the Ming army!
Gao Jie's soldiers also advanced step by step, and the two armies were still more than a hundred steps away, and the musketeers shot, and the flintlock muskets rang out at the same time!
Bang bang bang......
The sound of gunfire was like bursting beans, and the Chuang army did not expect that this Ming army would suddenly be equipped with such an advanced musket, and all of them opened fire a hundred steps away, and dense bullets rushed to the face!
The soldiers who rushed to the front were unlucky, and they were knocked down in an instant, and blood flowed all over the ground!
The soldiers who broke into the camp were completely stunned, what kind of weapon is this, and it can shoot at such a distance? It is farther than the distance of a bow and arrow, and it is also a firearm, you must know that the three-eyed eyes of the Ming army are only fifty or sixty steps away!
The advancing soldiers came to a sudden brake, stopped their progress, and looked at each other, what a powerful weapon!
Li Guo was also full of shock, what a powerful weapon, but now he has to send it!
"Bastard! What are you stunned about? Keep assaulting, rushing, charge with me! ”
Li Guo roared angrily.
The army came to his senses, stop now, wouldn't he die faster, waiting for someone to shoot you!
The intrusive army moved again and launched a surprise attack towards the front, especially the cavalry, and the impact was even faster!
However, just after a moment of stunned, the army gave the Ming soldiers the space to shoot again, and the musketeers quickly retracted their muskets, loaded the projectiles, and pulled the trigger again!
Another salvo!
This time, the army is closer, and with it, the damage is even more serious!
Another large part of the invading army was shot down by muskets, and at this time, the cavalry of the invading army was only thirty paces away from the forefront of the Ming army!
Gao Jie saw clearly, at this time, if he let the thief's cavalry advance, then his musketeers would be unlucky, the musketeers are powerful, but the only flaw is that the shooting is too slow, one minute, but only two bullets can be fired, if it is not just for the army to stay for a moment, I am afraid that there is no time left for the musketeers to retreat!
"Order, cavalry attack!"
Gao Qi roared angrily, and the cavalry on both wings roared out, colliding heavily with the intruding army!
Fighting, an earth-shattering battle, white knives out, blue blood splashed!
Gao Jie's forward battalion and Li Guo's remnants of the defeated army fought fiercely together, but it was obvious that Li Guo's battalion was not the opponent of Gao Jie's forward battalion.
Originally, Gao Jie's forward battalion was strong, and after Luo Rucai's troops surrendered to Sun Chuanting, except for Yang Chengzu and Shu Xinchen's cavalry who followed Zhu Jie into Beijing, most of the elite combat forces of the rest such as He Yilong and others joined Gao Jie's forward battalion, and Gao Jie's strength increased greatly!
In contrast, Li Guo has just experienced a fiasco, and the morale of his generals is low, and in front of Gao Jie's forward battalion, how much is the difference?
The cavalry on both wings desperately impacted the array of Li Guo's camp, and the soldiers of the camp were torn apart by the cavalry, and constantly fell under the knife of the cavalry, as for Li Guo's cavalry, there were not many of them, and in the big battle just now, there were a large number of cavalry who were reimbursed by the musketeers, and without the help of the cavalry, in the field, the infantry suffered a lot.
More than 20,000 soldiers who broke into the camp only lasted less than half an hour, and they began to be killed and retreated, and the entire front was no longer stable, and there was a great tendency to collapse, Li Guo was angry and anxious, and scolded loudly, and the steel knife in his hand had already cut off the heads of three or four soldiers who were ready to flee, and he still couldn't recover the decline!
In the distance, Li Zicheng saw it clearly, Li Guo, this time the defeat has been decided, I didn't expect it, I haven't seen it for half a year, Sun Chuanting's Ming army is even stronger!
"Liu Tichun, leading the cavalry of the right battalion, stepped forward to help Li Guo! Yuan Zongdi, immediately mobilized artillery and launched an artillery bombardment towards Nanyang Mansion! This is our first battle, no matter what, we will never allow us to lose, go all out! ”
Li Zicheng shouted.
Liu Tichun agreed, waved his hand, and a cavalry under his command joined the battle group, and the Ming army was fiercely mixed together, and the city of Nanyang Mansion has become a Shura field full of corpses!
However, even if Liu Tichun led 6,000 cavalry to join the battle group, it was still difficult to shake Gao Jie's army, and Gao Jie's forward battalion was the most powerful team in the Qin army, and its combat power was unparalleled among the Qin army!
Li Zicheng was furious, if it doesn't work, then add more fire to you!
"Yuan Zongdi, are you ready, change direction, don't shell Nanyang City, aim at the main force of the Ming army, and blow up the damn for me! Liu Fangliang, lead the old battalion cavalry to join the battle group, and must defeat the main force of the Ming army in front of him! ”
Li Zicheng gave the order again.
Yuan Zongdi waved his hand, more than a dozen artillery pieces began to rumble, and the cannonballs flew to the queue of the Ming army with a whistling sound, blooming in the queue of the Ming army, and the shells smashed heavily on the ground, setting off a huge amount of dust, and many Ming troops were directly smashed into the flesh and blood, and the bones were shattered!
Liu Fangliang led an elite cavalry to rush towards Gao Jie, the strongest cavalry of the old battalion in the camp!
Coupled with the cavalry of the old battalion, the strength used by the army has exceeded 40,000 people, and it has the upper hand steadily!
However, Sun Chuanting was above the city, so he naturally would not stand by, and the artillery above the city also rang out.
Condescendingly, Yuan Zongdi's artillery could only threaten Zhu Jie's team, but Sun Chuanting's artillery directly threw the artillery on the position of the camp, and it bloomed directly on the position of the camp, and the power was even stronger than that of the artillery of the army!
"I'm a grandma!"
Li Zicheng was so angry that he scolded!
"Attack, attack! Attack with all your might! Tell Liu Fangliang that if you don't defeat the main force of the Ming army, don't come back to see me! ”
Li Zicheng roared angrily.
"King Chuang, I feel a little wrong......"
Li Yan on the side reminded.
"What's wrong? Brother Li Yan? ”
Li Yan said in a deep voice: "King Chuang, Sun Chuanting has always been cunning in his use of soldiers, he has always won with wisdom, and he rarely fights with us, and he often relies on the train battalion to maintain defense, but this time, they just gave up defense, this is the rhythm of playing with life!" Just started the war, and he, Sun Chuanting, is going to play with his life? This is not his usual style of fighting, but I am afraid that there is deception in it, so why don't we withdraw our troops first and make plans after we find out......"
