Chapter 797: Bloody Battle in Nanchang (2)

Du Ying's six or seven thousand infantry, kept retreating backwards, Zuo Liangyu in the distance could see it clearly, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, this Du Ying is too useless, the strength of the Ming army is not stronger than yours, and there is also no cavalry to help, as soon as you start a battle, let them fight without the strength to fight back, it's really too wasteful, right?

Zuo Liangyu looked back at Zuo Mengeng, and said in a low voice: "Menggeng, lead five thousand infantry to support Du Ying, the left and right wings and the army behind are all handed over to you for control, besiege them on three sides, and you must defeat their rear army!" ”

Zuo Mengeng agreed, led 5,000 infantry to aid Du Ying, with Zuo Mengeng's help, finally stabilized the position on the right flank, Zhong Yue wanted to defeat the rebels on the right flank as before, but it was not so easy, and he could not defeat the rebels on the right flank in a short time, Zhong Yue had to choose to return to the other two directions and hold the position, after all, the other two directions each had nearly 20,000 troops, and Ding Yanping and Zhong Qin alone would definitely not be able to support it for long.

Zuo Liangyu drove more than 20,000 infantry in one breath, and launched another attack on the back town of Nanjing in front of him, more than 20,000 people were overwhelming, even if it was a musketeer, in the face of such a large number of troops, it was very difficult to completely suppress the attack of Jiujiang Town.

The infantry of Jiujiang Town launched wave after wave of offensives, trying to tightly surround the position of Nanjing Houzhen, as long as they rushed up, the musketeers of less than a thousand people naturally could not support it!

Sun Chuanting looked coldly at the more than 20,000 infantry in front of him, and shouted: "Yingwu, prepare to lead your cavalry to assault and defeat the infantry in Jiujiang Town in front of me!" ”

Gao Jie agreed, waved his hand, and three thousand cavalry rode out and launched an attack on the infantry in front of him, three thousand cavalry are not elite cavalry, but in the face of the infantry of Jiujiang Town, which is also not an elite force, it is still too strong, after all, the cavalry is the cavalry, and it is impossible to completely defeat the 20,000 infantry, but it is still easy to tear the infantry in front of you open.

The three thousand cavalry were like a bolt of lightning, slashing at the infantry of Jiujiang Town, and the dense infantry formation of Jiujiang Town was torn open in an instant, and the infantry screamed and were slashed by the cavalry's sabers.

At this time, Sun Chuanting's order flag waved, and the musketeers shot again, choosing the moment when the infantry was chaotic, and the 20,000 infantry in Jiujiang Town retreated to the rear like a tide again.

The army of the two towns of Nanjing is in the center, the army of Jiujiang Town is surrounded by all sides, the two sides launched a fierce battle under the city of Nanchang, Jiujiang Town launched several attacks one after another, all in vain, however, Zuo Liangyu has also discovered that the Ming army in front of him is far less powerful than the Ming army attacked by Zuo Mengeng behind, this is it, this is the Nanjing Houzhen that Zhu Jie has just prepared, the army has been in army for less than two months, only two months, it is naturally impossible to form a strong combat effectiveness, of course, so, two months of new army, It's not easy to have such combat power, and Zhu Jie's subordinates are really capable......

In the face of the resistance of cavalry and muskets, the casualties of 20,000 infantry are not small, Zuo Liangyu is also angry, you can't always be allowed to attack like this.

"Order, Zuo Menghuan led the elite cavalry in the army to attack again, and this battle must defeat the Ming cavalry on the opposite side! He Zhongju led 10,000 elite infantry to follow closely behind, storming Sun Chuanting's Chinese army, and he must defeat their Chinese army! ”

Zuo Liangyu finally made up his mind, relying on his ordinary combat power alone, he couldn't help Sun Chuanting in front of him, this old guy is worthy of being a contemporary famous general, his ability to command operations is too strong, and he has a keen grasp of the situation on the battlefield, which is really much better than himself!

Zuo Menghuan agreed, more than 5,000 elite cavalry attacked again, and went straight to Sun Chuanting's Chinese army, He Zhongju also led 10,000 elite infantry to press forward, 15,000 elites, if they collided like this, it would really be enough for Nanjing Houzhen to drink a pot, after all, Nanjing Houzhen together is only 20,000 people, there is no problem in beating ordinary Jiujiang Town soldiers, and it is a little difficult for them to deal with the elite main force of Jiujiang Town.

However, this is the moment that Sun Chuanting was waiting for!

If Zuo Liangyu's elite main force does not attack, he can't use his killer weapon, because once the killer weapon is launched, it must ensure that Zuo Liangyu's elite power is annihilated.

With a sneer on the corner of Sun Chuanting's mouth, he ordered: "Order, use all the artillery, launch a fierce attack on Zuo Liangyu's cavalry and elite infantry, transfer all our rockets, fire them with all your might, aim at their cavalry, and attack with all your might!" I want to solve Zuo Liangyu's big trouble in one fell swoop! ”

Sun Chuanting gave an order, fifty artillery pieces suddenly, towards the elite of Jiujiang Town in front of him, if it was only fifty artillery, the cavalry of Jiujiang Town was not completely afraid, and the cavalry had not seen the power of artillery, as long as they were not smashed, there was no, and when they saw the shells flying over, they just dodged.

But can cavalry and elite infantry dodge shells, can they dodge rockets? After three waves of shells, there were rockets in the sky!

Sun Chuanting is waiting for this opportunity, three hundred rockets, all of which were pulled to the front line by Sun Chuanting, this thing in this era, the power is much greater than that of artillery shells, with a huge tail flame behind, after falling on the ground, there will be a violent explosion, just the scorching tail flame, that is, the cavalry and infantry are in pain, as long as they are glued, they will be burned, of course, the most terrible thing is the explosion, as soon as the rocket explodes, the flames rise, and the infantry are contaminated with flames, scurrying around, and some roll on the spot, Trying to extinguish the flames on your body!

However, once the body is burned, where is it so easy to extinguish? Moreover, on the battlefield, the army is assaulting, and once it falls to the ground, it will be trampled into pulp by the galloping war horses, which is the real tragedy!

Of course, the current cavalry is no better than the infantry, especially the launch of rockets, which makes the cavalry completely confused, one by one the war horses let out a long neighing, the flames burning everywhere, the war horses were frightened, and began to run around, huge fear enveloped the war horses, not to mention the cavalry of Jiujiang Town, even if it was the Manchurian cavalry, it was absolutely unrestrained, and the entire cavalry team became a pot of porridge!
