Chapter 836: The Bolt Returns
The panic caused by the annihilation of Zhang Xianzhong's entire army spread rapidly among the Ma Shiying army, and even Zhang Xianzhong's 50,000 army was wiped out, can his 50,000 army be the opponent of the imperial court?
Everyone fell into panic and confusion, and even more unintentionally fell in love with the war, even if the strength of the Fengyang army is far superior to the imperial army, it still can't suppress the next decline, and the Fengyang army can't help but retreat under the blows of musketeers and cavalry, retreat!
The Red Lady and Duan Xuan are both fierce generals who charge into battle, as for Zhao Zhenghang, they are also brave champions of the three armies, and the three of them are the first to be brave! ~
"Master Overseer, we have lost the opportunity today, we are afraid that if we continue to fight, we will not be able to take any advantage, it is better to retreat first, and fight again with the whole army!"
Qian Hai stood beside Ma Shiying and said urgently.
Ma Shiying's face was gloomy, he wanted to turn the situation around, but he made a mistake and lost the whole game, and now he wants to reverse the situation, it is too difficult, it is impossible, although there are only more than 1,000 cavalry in the imperial court, but it is extremely fierce, even the combat power of the old ladies is not comparable to their own cavalry, rushing left and right, no one can be done, plus the musketeers are constantly shooting at their own army, their own army can't stop it at all, and if they continue to fight, I'm afraid it's really more than lucky!
"Qian Hai, after leading your cavalry to break, the army will temporarily retreat backwards to avoid the edge of the imperial army!"
Ma Shiying said abruptly.
The Fengyang army began to retreat, however, Ma Shiying forgot, his Fengyang army was just a group of rabble, not a strong force like Nanjing Youzhen or Tianwei Army, once defeated, retreating to the rear, it was easy to collapse, and the new army of the imperial court itself was not strong, as long as the Fengyang army could withstand it to the death, once the anger in the heart of the new army fell, it was not impossible to reverse the situation, but now in the war, retreat first, but give the new army of the imperial court a chance, the morale that has already fallenand rose up again.
Now that the emperor is watching from behind, who doesn't want to stand out from the big war?
The new army was like a chicken blood, and they launched an attack on Ma Shiying's army more fiercely, and the Fengyang army was even more chaotic!
"Order, order, immediately transfer the army of Dongcheng to help, come back!"
Ma Shiying was in a hurry, if he continued to fight, he would not be able to get rid of the imperial army, it would be miserable, and now he could only send an order to mobilize the army in the east of Nanjing City to help. In Dongcheng, Ma Shiying still has more than 10,000 troops to besiege Dongcheng, but there is no movement in Dongcheng, but he can't resist it first.
An order went down, and in less than an hour, the Fengyang army in Dongcheng rushed back and participated in the whole battle, 50,000 troops against more than 10,000 imperial army troops, the situation finally stabilized, and the initiative began to tilt towards the Fengyang army, little by little!
"Grandma's!"
Zhao Zhenghang's anger jumped like thunder, and at a critical time, Ma Shiying actually withdrew the encirclement of Nanjing City and concentrated all his forces to attack him! However, people can withdraw the encirclement, what about themselves, there are only 10,000 new troops in the city, and now they are distributed on the four city walls of the east, west, north and south, even if they want to gather together, it will take a long time, and they dare not bring out all the troops in the city, who knows if there are other forces hidden in the city of Nanjing, and suddenly catch the emperor off guard?
At this critical moment, the battle situation suddenly changed drastically - a force from the northwest suddenly rushed towards the battlefield!
Whether it is Ma Shiying or Zhao Zhenghang, they are all shocked, where is this army? Now that the two sides are evenly matched, such a force of thousands of people, no matter which side of the reinforcements, once put into battle, will inevitably change the situation of the battlefield!
Bang bang bang!
Far away, hundreds of paces away, suddenly a rapid burst of gunfire rang out, and countless bullets were fired towards the battlefield!
It's the army of the imperial court, it's the musket battalion!
Ma Shiying was horrified, if at this time, the army of the imperial court suddenly got a musket battalion of two or three thousand people to join the battle group, he would definitely be defeated, he would definitely be defeated, and he would definitely not be the opponent of the imperial court!
However, it is useless to be afraid, in the world, except for the imperial court, there is no army equipped with a huge number of muskets, only the army of the imperial court!
However, Ma Shiying's guess was right, it was the sailor musket battalion led by Cha Shu, who abandoned the ship halfway and led two thousand musketeers to march at full speed from Taiping Mansion to Nanjing City, marching day and night, and finally rushed to the battlefield at a critical moment, and copied up from the back bread of Ma Shiying's Fengyang army!
Two thousand musketeers, just one thousand musketeers, brought a huge shock and eyes to Ma Shiying's 50,000 army, and now Cha Bolt has brought two thousand musketeers, the gunfire is like bursting beans, the soldiers of the Fengyang army have been shot and fell to the ground, howling miserably, now not only the front army and the two wings, even the rear army has almost collapsed!
Ma Shiying looked at the Fengyang army rushing everywhere, his heart was full of bitterness, he was still complacent just now, he didn't expect that with just such a little effort, the whole situation would be reversed, and the Fengyang army was over, it was impossible to capture Nanjing City......
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Let's quickly withdraw the troops, hurry up and withdraw the troops, take advantage of the now, immediately lead the army to retreat in the direction of Fengyang Mansion, as long as Fengyang Mansion is in our hands, then there is still a chance, we can block the connection between the imperial court and the Central Plains, as long as the Tianwei army collapses, we will have a chance, we will have a chance to make a comeback! ”
Qian Hai shouted.
Ma Shiying didn't know, but it was easier said than done, but it was another thing to do, and now he retreated in a hurry, and he was afraid that more than half of the 50,000 troops would be able to return to Fengyang Mansion alive!
"Order, the army immediately retreats, retreat!"
Ma Shiying couldn't take care of it much now, and gave the order to retreat.
At this time, Zhao Zhenghang was overjoyed, needless to say, the bolt was checked, and he was able to take out two thousand musketeers in one go, now only the imperial sailors have it, whether it is the three towns of Nanjing or the Tianwei army, no military town is equipped with more than two thousand musketeers, three thousand musketeers, this time, Ma Shiying is dead!
Yes, this time Ma Shiying is dead, even if it is an army of 50,000, under the blow of more than 3,000 musketeers, it will have to collapse, this is the era when firearms have not yet been fully prevalent, 50,000 rabble, if they want to resist such ferocious firepower, it is simply impossible, even if it is 50,000 Manchurian elite cavalry, I am afraid that they will return in vain!
