Although the most elite heavy cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were killed by shotguns as soon as the battle began, their death won an important hundred meters for the Qing army behind.

The Qing army used the East Asian compound bow, which had a straight range of only 50 paces, that is, less than 40 meters, while a curved shot had a distance of 300 paces, which translates to exactly 240 meters. And the death of the heavy cavalry in exchange for the Qing army rushed to 200 meters, which had already entered the effective range of bows and arrows.

He Luohui, who was in the middle of the charging team, saw that the opportunity had come and shouted, "Release the arrow!" ”

The charging speed of the Mongolian horse was six meters per second, and now it was more than 200 meters away from the Ming army, that is, it took more than forty seconds to collide, and it was enough to shoot three arrows. He Luo will be full of confidence, as long as the enemy is hit by an arrow, he will be scattered, and then he can chase after him as well as before.

He Luo will play a good calculation, but the calculation of the Ming army is not something he can fight, as early as the Qing cavalry was still a mile away, all the Ming troops changed formations under the command of Ma Kun. Two battalions were in groups, forming more than a dozen hollow phalanxes, waiting for the onslaught of the Qing army.

And Zhu Hai, under the command of company commander Zhang Fei, began to shoot at the Qing cavalry that entered the firing range.

The effective shooting distance of the smoothbore gun is 300 meters, that is, it has lethality at a distance of 300 meters, but the accuracy cannot be mentioned. A British general once said that if the musketeers were to hit a target a hundred meters away, it would be better to aim at the moon, because the two would have the same chance. Although this sentence is an exaggeration, it also shows that the accuracy of the smoothbore gun is very problematic.

However, this is all achieved under the fire of a single soldier, and if hundreds or thousands of soldiers are fired together on the battlefield, the lead bullet will form a wall of bullets in front of the enemy, so the chance of hitting will be greatly increased. If the enemy is also in a dense formation, there will be basically no one standing on the opposite side of those shots.

The veterans of the Guangdong New Army can shoot five shots a minute, and if they are divided into three rows, they can form an uninterrupted wall of firepower, but the speed of the recruits is not as fast as that of the veterans, and Ma Kun has to discharge a large queue of five rows in order to maintain the density of firepower. If it really doesn't work, each regiment will also have eight multi-barreled artifacts such as "typewriters" to help.

Originally, Ma Kun thought that it was foolproof, but he forgot to consider the psychological quality of the recruits and the fighting will of the Qing army opposite. The current Qing army is not the Qing army during the Eight-Nation Alliance in later generations, and it collapsed when the casualties at Bali Bridge reached 2%. The Qing army in this era was still the strongest force in East Asia, and its will to fight was much stronger than the Han army banner and the Mongols that Ma Kun had encountered before.

The first two rounds of shooting of the three regiments were decent, and in the third round, the Qing army's curved bow and arrow arrived, but fortunately it was a hollow phalanx, and only less than a hundred people were shot, but the screams of the hundred people falling to the ground affected others, and the horse's hooves of the Qing army on the opposite side rushed over, this psychological pressure was too great, and some people began to drop their muskets and run away.

Running away on the battlefield will be contagious, and if one runs away, there will be a second. For a time, most of the 3,500 men of the entire three regiments fled.

The commander of the third regiment in the rear team was shocked when he saw the soldiers in front of him scattering, and hurriedly called his own soldiers and shouted: "Where is the typewriter? Push the typewriter into the gap! "When the eight typewriters were pushed into the gap by more than 20 people, they found that all the typewriters had no magazines. The commander of the third regiment saw that he could not catch a rifle, loaded his bayonet and shouted: "Damn it, follow me, and fight the Tartars hand-to-hand!" ”

The new army was well fed and trained, and its physical strength was far stronger than that of the Qing army, but an army without the will to fight could not avoid defeat no matter how strong it was.

Ma Rufeng, the deputy commander of the Fourth Division, who was standing on the mound, was anxious when he saw that the Qing army had scattered the three regiments, but Ma Kun and Zhang Jiayu were still hugging and crying. Ma Rufeng stepped forward and kicked the two away, scolding: "Ma Kun, don't fucking cry, get up and see what to do?" The three regiments were scattered by the Qing army! ”

Hearing the urgency of the military situation, Ma Kuncai stood up, wiped his tears and scolded: "Anyway, Lao Tzu will die horizontally, but I can't let these Tartars see the joke!" Ordering one regiment and two regiments to surround the past, the Tartar cavalry has slowed down, take advantage of the opportunity of the three regiments to entangle them and destroy them! ”

At this time, Duoduo of the rear team of the Qing army also saw an opportunity, and at the same time as He Luohui rushed into the Ming army's position, he ordered the remaining 10,000 taels of white flag cavalry, as well as 5,000 Han army flag infantry, to all be dispatched to join the melee. And Ma Kun saw that Duoduo was pressing on the entire army, and hurriedly ordered all of them to form a small hollow phalanx with battalions as a unit, and fought with the Qing army.

Duoduo's order completely buried the lives of hundreds of thousands of Qing troops, and the Battle of Nanchang also ended in the complete defeat of the Manchus. Duoduo still looked at the New Army in Guangdong with the old view of the previous Ming army, believing that as long as they were dispersed, they could be killed slowly like cattle and horses. However, Duoduo was wrong, and the Guangdong New Army was no longer the kind of army that fought hard with only one blood and spirit in the old era, but had become a quasi-modern army with complete grass-roots officers, good training, a complete logistics supply system, and perfect military law and military discipline after Zhu Hongsan's training. The literacy rate of soldiers in this army is more than half, not to mention in the late Ming Dynasty, even during the Republic of China, more than half of the literacy rate is also an astonishing number. They know what they're fighting for, and they know what the punishment will be if they fail.

On the other hand, the Manchu Eight Banners, although they were brave, but all of them were illiterate, for them to fight is to grab things, and if they can't grab it, they will run. Therefore, as the two armies fought together, the cavalry impact advantage of the Qing army was completely gone, and the Guangdong New Army slowly gained the upper hand by virtue of its physical strength, endurance, weapons and other advantages.

By noon, half of the Qing army had lost half of its casualties, and all the soldiers were hungry, and some soldiers began to sneak away while Niu Lu and Zuo Ling were not paying attention.

At this time, the difference between the ancient army and the modern army is apparent, just now the Ming army was rushed into the camp by the Qing army, it was very chaotic at the beginning, but because it has a good organizational system, it can slowly organize a counterattack under the command of officers at all levels. However, the Qing army was different, at first a small retreat led to a large-scale rout, and when the Qing army and the Ming army separated, the artillery regiment was put into battle, and a large number of shotguns and solid shells accelerated the process of the collapse of the Qing army.

Ma Kun really wanted to cry without tears when he watched a perfect decisive battle being beaten like this, hey! Anyway, it's already like this, let's talk about it later, the main task now is to eliminate the Qing army in the outer city of Nanchang City. After the decision, Ma Kun ordered the first regiment and the second regiment to separate, and each regiment led two new regiments to the north and south of the city respectively, attacking the Qing army camp, and he led a regiment to clean up the mess outside the Yonghe Gate, mainly because he wanted to find the prince Zhu Hai.

This kind of battle outside the Yonghe Gate has become the focus of attention of all parties, the defeat of the elite of the Qing army made the other Qing troops shudder, Duoduo personally defeated us are still there opponents, plus the defeated Qing army exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, what mouth spit yellow smoke, will sacrifice magic weapons to take people's lives, etc., scared not to wait for the Ming army to attack the door, some camps of the Qing army have begun to escape. Again, the blind obedience of the illiterate soldiers of the ancient army was very terrible, and the escape slowly led to a great rout, and countless people fell into the Ganjiang River and drowned, and at this time, the marching team of the Ming army was still five miles away from them.

Jiang Yueguang, Jin Shenghuan and others who watched the battle at the head of Nanchang City saw the ups and downs, and the whole city cheered when the first batch of Qing troops were killed, but then the Qing army rushed into the Ming army's position, but Jiang Yueguang and others were mourned, and from their experience, the battle was over. But I didn't expect that the wonderful was behind, the Guangdong Ming army was worthy of being a strong force, and it actually withstood the attack of the Qing army, and also defeated Duoduo, and finally less than 10,000 people fled back to the camp. Then the rout of the Qing army became a chain reaction, and the Qing army companies and camps outside the city were in chaos, and the camps were on fire, trampling each other and killing countless people.

Jiang Yueguang saw that the Qing army was in chaos, and it was a good opportunity to counterattack.

"The two county kings, now that the end of the Qing army is imminent, should we go out to help the friendly army!"

Everyone loves to do this kind of thing of beating water dogs, Jin Shenghuan Wang Deren immediately ordered 20,000 elite people, opened the Yonghe Gate and went out of the city. If there is a sober person in the Qing army at this time to organize the army to counterattack, according to the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, the Ming army out of the city can be completely wiped out, and it is possible to directly occupy Nanchang, but the general trend of the Qing army has gone, to borrow a sentence from later movies, "The people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to bring!" ”

The guards of the other gates saw that there was a bargain to fight, and they opened the gates of the city and came out with their troops to pick up the bargains. Even the more than 100,000 Han men who were captured in the Manchu camp saw that the Qing army was defeated like a mountain, and they also gave full play to the advantages of the Han people beating the water dogs, and used various tools in their hands to attack the lone Qing army, and for a time there was chaos inside and outside the city.

Duoduo fell unconscious after returning to the camp, and Tan Tai, as his deputy, saw that there was nothing to do, so he had no choice but to order the troops to retreat, and the whole army retreated to Jianchang County, which was fifty miles away from Nanchang, for repair.

But Tan Tai thought very well, Jianchang County is on the west bank of the Ganjiang River, and Nanchang is on the east bank of the Ganjiang River. When he came, there were hundreds of ships from Ma Guozhu, the governor of Henan, to transport them, but just now when the battle outside Yonghe Gate was there, at the water gate outside the Zhangjiang Gate in Nanchang, Ma Guozhu led the sailors who ran into five small boats of the Daming River Fleet.

Of course, the boat is the self-proclaimed name of the fleet admiral Ding Hai, and this kind of hundred-ton gunboat is a behemoth in front of the small boat of the Qing army's naval division with a displacement of only a few tons. However, Ma Guozhu, who was the banner of the Han army, did not dare not fight, his family was in Beijing, and if he surrendered, his whole family would be killed, and there was no choice but to bite the bullet. The result was natural, after an hour of fighting, the water surface of the Gan River was full of blood, all 140 Qing warships were sunk, and the Qing army's naval division lost more than 10,000 people. At this point, the right of passage on the Ganjiang River was owned by the Guangdong Navy.
