Chapter 799: Bloody Battle in Nanchang (4)
There are only two hundred elite cavalry, but these two hundred elite cavalry are already the only elite forces in Nanjing Houzhen, but, to be exact, it is not the elite force of Nanjing Houzhen, but Gao Jie's elite force in the Intelligence Department, and the Intelligence Department is not just to collect intelligence, just like the existence of Jinyiwei.
Before the establishment of the Ministry of Intelligence, Zhu Jie had already instructed Gao Jie to form a capable force, an almost omnipotent elite force, not many people, but the combat power was stronger, stronger than the Tianwei Army, and even the elite forces drawn from the towns of the Tianwei Army, its strong combat power is unparalleled in the world!
It's a pity that the number of people is less, this elite, the number of people together is not more than a thousand, Gao Jie also gritted his teeth, and only then did he transfer two hundred from the Ministry of Intelligence to accompany Sun Chuanting on the expedition.
Behind each of the two hundred elite horsemen were two flintlock muskets, all loaded with live ammunition, with two knives hanging from their waists and a suit of armor, surging out, just looking at the momentum, it was already chilling!
Gao Jie took the lead, leading the elite straight to Zuo Liangyu, and didn't even glance at the surrounding battlefield, as if the life and death of the enemy and friendly troops had nothing to do with him, they had only one goal, and that was to kill Zuo Liangyu!
Sun Chuanting said, kill Zuo Liangyu, Jiujiang Town will collapse without a fight!
Zuo Liangyu saw a cavalry from a distance rushing straight down from the top of the hill, straight to his position, all the way, there was no obstruction at all, one is that this cavalry is too strong, under the saber, invincible; Under the assault of Xu Zongzhen's elite cavalry, now their elite infantry cavalry is too busy to take care of themselves, where do they still have the energy to pay attention to such a small group of cavalry on the battlefield?
Zuo Liangyu's heart trembled, and he shouted urgently: "Order, infantry assault, you must block this cavalry for me!" Xu Hao, Xu Hao! Lead your two infantry battalions, assault forward, gallop to the aid of Zuo Menghuan and He Zhongju, and be sure to stabilize your position! ”
Now Zuo Liangyu's hungry elite forces have all been sent out, with only more than 20,000 infantry in his hands, the combat power is average, and he has no strength to fight with the Ming army at all, but Zuo Liangyu has no choice, the elite forces can't be withdrawn, and the elite cavalry in front of him is approaching like lightning, if they don't stop this cavalry, I'm afraid that it won't take long for them to kill themselves!
An infantry force pressed towards Gao Jie's side, quickly approaching Gao Jie's elite cavalry!
Almost at the same time, the two hundred elite horsemen took off their flintlock muskets from their shoulders and fired a volley at the infantry in front of them!
It's not much, it's only two hundred muskets, but even if it's just two hundred muskets, it's enough for these infantry under Zuo Liangyu to drink a pot!
In an instant, the front of the infantry formation that rushed forward was beaten out of a vacuum, and one by one the infantry were shot and fell to the ground, wailing incessantly, and the surrounding infantry was even more panicked, too fierce, the firepower was too fierce, as long as it was hit, it would be either dead or wounded, and it was seriously injured!
The first wave of shots had just passed, and the flintlock musket in the knight's hand had been inserted into the back again, and the other musket had been taken off - bang, bang......
Another wave of salvo fire, the chaotic infantry once again paid the price of hundreds of casualties, two waves of shooting, the morale of the infantry was completely crushed, the lethality was too great!
Run......
These infantry in Jiujiang Town are just a group of rabble, far from being comparable to the previous elite cavalry, such a tragic battle, where can they participate in it, one by one the soldiers turned around and ran frantically around, dodging the shooting of the elite cavalry in front of them!
Zuo Liangyu's face turned purple, what the hell, this group of waste, don't you see these elite riders replacing their guns? They only have two muskets, and when the bullets are gone, it takes time to fill the projectiles, and at this time, it is the safest time, so why are you scattered in a hurry? Isn't that fatal?
In just the blink of an eye, Gao Jie's two hundred elite horsemen were already less than two hundred steps away from Zuo Liangyu, and Gao Jie had already stormed into the infantry array in Jiujiang Town!
"Zuo Liangyu, Lao Tzu said that you will take your dog's head with your own hands and accept your life!"
Gao Jie roared, his war horse rushed forward, and rushed directly towards Zuo Liangyu in front of him, and two hundred elite horsemen followed, fiercely entering Zuo Liangyu's Chinese army camp - of course, now that Zuo Liangyu's Chinese army is almost all sent out, where is there any Chinese army? It's all a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals!
Zuo Liangyu raised his eyebrows, and secretly sneered in his heart, knowing that you Gao Jie is back, how can I, Zuo Liangyu, be unprepared? Come on, let me Zuo Liangyu see your Gao Jie's combat power!
Zuo Liangyu's big hand waved in the air, and the surrounding pro-army went straight out, this is the only pro-guard team around Zuo Liangyu, four hundred pro-guards, and it is also Zuo Liangyu's life, fighting on the battlefield for many years, the core force of the whole body retreating, the combat power is strong, Zuo Liangyu has never expanded, it has always been the number of four hundred people, but the combat power is indeed not to be underestimated!
However, this time Zuo Liangyu is destined to miss, if it is just an ordinary elite cavalry, Zuo Liangyu's personal guards are naturally able to block the enemy army and protect Zuo Liangyu's safety, however, they are facing Gao Jie's cavalry, which is three points stronger than the elite cavalry of the Tianwei army, and the rest of the battle is brave! What's more, each person also carried two muskets behind them, if for an ordinary musketeer, it would take 20 seconds to reload the projectile to shoot, but for these elite riders, ten seconds would be able to shoot the projectile out!
In just ten seconds or so of the time that they were filled into the formation of Zuo Liangyu's army, the one hundred elite horsemen in the middle had already completed the ammunition loading again, and they all raised their hands and aimed at the Zuo Liangyu's personal guards who had been killed!
Bang bang bang –
Another salvo!
In the elite cavalry, in front of the muskets, you should also be afraid of three points!
Zuo Liangyu's personal guard cavalry was no exception, a volley, Zuo Liangyu's cavalry fell in large pieces, and the rest of the personal guard cavalry were frightened one by one, dodged one after another, and began to outflank Gao Jie's two wings!
This is the cleverness of the personal guard cavalry, if you can't charge head-on, then outflank from the flank, encircle and annihilate this cavalry in one fell swoop, your muskets are powerful at long range, once you fight in close combat, can you still be so strong?
But the guards forgot that behind them was the handsome Zuo Liangyu! Once the personal guards cavalry separated, Zuo Liangyu was completely exposed!
Gao Jie was overjoyed when he saw this, and he was waiting for this opportunity!
Hanging the iron pestle, Gao Jie took off the flintlock musket behind his back, raised the gun, aimed, shot, and did it in one go!
Bang!
A bullet that goes straight to Zuo Liangyu!
