Lu Fatzi thought things simpler, and felt that it was difficult for Hutongchun to withdraw from the battlefield in time to make room for the Wu army to use other tactics, so he sent Quan Jie to lead 3,000 infantry into the battlefield, intending to pick up Hutongchun's team, but what made Lu Fatzi miscalculate was that the Wu army and Qing army soldiers on the battlefield of Meijiazhou Wharf had already killed red eyes, and the battle had already entered the white heat. [Full text reading]

It is not to blame that the whole section is not resolute in carrying out the order, mainly because the two armies of the Qing army Sange and Yalai, who are landing, saw the reinforcements of the Wu army, and thought that the Wu army wanted to drive them into Poyang Lake to drown. The whole battlefield is messy like a pot of boiling rice porridge, which makes up this pot of rice porridge, that is, the Wu soldiers wearing white felt hats and the Qing soldiers wearing red weft hats, there are me in the enemy, I have the enemy, every soldier and every general is fighting in their own way, compared to whose knife is fast, whose axe is ruthless, and the soldiers on both sides who are covered in blood and scuffle are everywhere, and the army of the whole section rushes into such a battlefield, not to mention that the friendly army is out of battle, and if you retreat with a little cowardice, you will immediately become a ghost under the knife. In desperation, the whole section army could only show the determination to die or live, and launched a bloody battle with the enemy with red eyes, and was soon completely forgotten by the purpose of joining the war group by the self-army.

Seeing such a battle situation in the telescope, Lu Fatzi was inevitably both worried and happy, worried about the heavy casualties of Hutongchun and Quanjie's team, fortunately he had never despised the enemy tactically, although the Qing army led by Hilgen has been hiding in Anqing City, which is far away from the main battlefield, but the combat effectiveness and morale are no less than any Qing army team that the Wu army encountered before, I am afraid that the palace army led by Ao Bai on the battlefield in Guizhou back then can be compared with the current Qing army. Fortunately, the Wu army lured this Qing army out of the decisive battle of Anqing Jiancheng, if this Qing army was allowed to defend the city, the fat man wanted to capture Anqing City, how big the price should be paid, it was unimaginable to Lu Fatzi.

"Uncle, let me go too." An Jiarong, the nephew of the Yi nationality who was wrapped in a white cloth on his head, ran over and couldn't wait to give an order: "Uncle, let the little nephew take the soldiers up, break the deadlock for you, and teach this gang of dogs a lesson!" ”

"There's no hurry." Fat Lu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Big nephew, although your Qiyi soldiers are the strongest in our army in foot combat, but now the morale of the dog is in full swing, you will only fall into the battlefield if you rush up, wait patiently, and when the time comes, you will be my killer weapon to break the stalemate on the battlefield." An Jiarong nodded as if he didn't understand, and reluctantly held back his belligerent spirit.

At the same time on the east bank of Poyang Lake, Hilgen also discovered the situation of the Wu army reinforcing the dock battlefield, but limited to the perspective factor, Hilgen did not know that Lu Fatzi's army originally wanted to take over the army and withdraw from the battlefield, but it was forced to fall into the battlefield because the battle was too fierce, and also said that Lu Fatzi was also using refueling tactics, planning to stir up the Qing army's landing army, so that his superior sailors did not dare to fire at the dock, so Hilgen quickly showed a happy smile, smiled and said: "Lu Yifeng Xiaoer, he is a genius in strategy, tactically, It's still a little tender. ”

"Report ——!" A herald flew to the Qing army flag, knelt down on one knee in front of Hilgen, and said: "General Qiyu, General Zhao Guozuo has given up the tactics of sticking to it, attacked with cavalry, and launched an attack with Wu Gou Gao Dejie, the infantry of the Wu Dog Brigade has been dispatched, and has launched a charge against the infantry brigade of the old General Zhao Guozuo, and the battle is extremely fierce!" ”

"This Zhao Guozuo, what kind of fame is he doing?" Zhangtai Bei Zitian snorted shamelessly, "The general asked him to bite Gao Dejie Wu Dog, he gave up holding on to take the attack, didn't he read the book of soldiers?" ”

"It's also fortunate that General Zhao didn't have a good understanding of military books like Bei Ziye, otherwise this battle would be even more difficult to fight." Hilgen sneered coldly, and waved to the herald and ordered: "Let the scouts continue to closely monitor the situation in Dagutang, and report as soon as there is a situation." ”

The herald took the order, and Hilgen stood up again, found a hand to call the captain of his own army to the front, and ordered: "Send a clipper to herald Hargaqi, let him march at full speed, attack the Jiujiang Water Gate, break the battlefield stalemate, and let Wu Gou completely collapse!" Then give an order to Jueluo Babur and Yierduqi, let them prepare to board the ship, and our troop transport ships will return to the Hukou wharf, immediately board the boat and cross the lake, and completely bite the main force of Wu Dog on the battlefield of Meijiazhou! Don't let go if you bite it! ”

………………

Just as the scouts of the Qing army reported to Hilgen, at this moment on the Dagutang battlefield, the battle between the Wu army's Gao Dejie department and the Qing army's Zhao Guozuo department also entered the most fierce white-hot battle, in addition to the more than 2,000 Wu army cavalry led by Gao Hongchen on the left wing according to the order, the frontal battlefield between the right wing battlefield and the Chinese army was already in full swing, people turned on their backs, and corpses were everywhere.

Let's take a look at the frontal battlefield of the infantry on both sides, after the infantry of the Wu army advanced to within two miles of the front of the Qing army brigade, 300 Sanhao rockets were shot out together, roaring and smashing into the Qing army brigade. The soldiers and generals of the Qing army in Nanchang, who were opening their bows and arrows, charging and loading ammunition to meet the Wu army, were the first time to see such a spectacular scene, and it was also the first time to see such a terrifying weapon, only to see a white gunpowder smoke into their own army, and then a deafening sound of terrorist explosions immediately sounded in their own ranks, and the soldiers of the self-army were shattered on the spot one after another, and one after another flew into the air, falling to death on the spot, and countless Qing soldiers were shaken and knocked down by the shock wave. It also made countless Qing soldiers look like earth, lose their souls, lose their morale, and the team is also in chaos.

"Oh my God!" Also screaming silently is the veteran Zhao Guozuo of the Qing Dynasty, although this old man has long heard of the prestige of the Sanhao rocket to annihilate more than 20,000 Qing cavalry within a quarter of an hour, but it is the first time to really see such a weapon on the battlefield, such a fierce firepower covering and such a terrifying gunpowder smoke, Zhao Guozuo, who is definitely well-informed, is still shocked, his soul is scattered, and there is only one thought left in his heart, "Ao Zhongtang, you don't lose unjustly!" ”

"Boom-boom-boom——!" Another wave of Wu army rockets attacked, although the density was not as large as just now, but where the arrow pointed, the Qing army team that was still gearing up to meet just now suddenly collapsed, and countless Qing soldiers threw down their weapons and ran away, screams, screams and cries sounded together, but Wu Jun's rockets still mercilessly smashed into the crowd and exploded, splashing wave after wave of blood and flesh, leaving one after another blood waves on the brown and yellow land, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Rush, ——!" Gao Qi, who commanded the infantry of the Wu army, roared and waved the flag violently, and the infantry of the Wu army rushed up together, shouting to kill the turtle formation of the Qing army that had been completely chaotic, and the Wu army rocket team commanded by Li Xiongfei also charged while pushing the cart, while loading the last three hundred rockets onto the car, and the blade pointed directly at the Qing army flag array that had lost the protection of the infantry, Li Xiongfei also kept yelling, "Pay attention to the flag of order!" Watch out for the Flag! No fires are allowed without orders! The last rocket is to be given to the coach full of dogs! ”

"Cavalry attack!" At the same time, in the flag array of the Qing army, it was found that the Wu army was charging at full speed, and seeing that the front defense line was already in chaos, and I didn't know if the Wu army's rockets had been used up, and Zhao Guozuo, who was afraid of being cut into two sections by the Wu army, had no choice but to wave his hand and order, so that the second son Zhao Hui led the last 1,000 cavalry to attack to block the Wu army's charging team and buy time for the Qing army's infantry heavy formation.

"Qing ——!" In the roar of raising the knife, Zhao Hui clamped the war horse between his legs, pulled the reins of the horse with his left hand, and the arrow from the string was the first to rush out, and the Qing cavalry behind followed closely, and the tide generally rushed towards the Wu army infantry who had launched a full-scale charge.

"Fuck your full dog!" Seeing the Qing cavalry charging, Li Xiongfei, who commanded the rocket array of the Wu army, was not happy and angry, and scolded, extremely regretful for missing the great opportunity to completely blow up the Qing army's flag array, but he could only helplessly wave the flag and shout, "Ignite the fire, send the full dog cavalry to the sky for Lao Tzu!" ”

"Huh——! Whew——! Whew——! Whew——! In the continuous sound of breaking through the air, the last 300 rockets of Gao Dejie's army roared out, with twisted and dense white gunsmoke, and sneered and pounced on the Qing cavalry who had killed themselves, and the last 1,000 Qing cavalry of Zhao Guozuo's army..................

Not far away, on the right flank battlefield with the sound of hooves like thunder and dust, although the cavalry of the Wu army led by Gao Dejie was quite tired before participating in the battle, but after entering the battle, the cavalry of the Wu army still let Zhao Yue and Chang Jinggong learn what is called the invincible iron cavalry for the rest of the battle, and let the cavalry of Zhao Yue, who is used to bullying the cavalry of the Ming army and the cavalry of Taiwan, see what the real iron hooves are.

On the battlefield, the cavalry of the Wu army formed a surprise cone with Gao Dejie as the tip of the knife, and rampaged in the dusty knife mountain gun forest, invincible, the snowy saber danced like a storm, and all of them died, although the cavalry of the Qing army was many, and only a certain amount of physical strength and horsepower were cheap, but they could not help this Wu cavalry, and they were rushed by the cavalry of the Wu army, and they were not in formation, and the screams, screams, neighing of horses and the sound of orders of the Qing soldiers were hoarse, and they showed their decline in less than half an hour.

What made Zhao Yue, Chang Jinggong and other Qing generals even more frightened was that the cavalry on the left wing of the Wu army led by Gao Hongchen, the younger brother of Gao Dejie, had been standing still, as if they hadn't seen that the right wing had been killed in full swing and bleeding. Obviously, Gao Hongchen was definitely not cowardly and afraid of battle, but waiting for an opportunity to wait for the Qing army to show its flaws, and then launch a fatal blow to the Qing army's cavalry team or infantry brigade............

………………

There are scouts from both sides who send the battle situation of Dagutang to the Wu army commander Lu Fatzi and the Qing army commander Hilgen in front of him, when he heard that the Dagutang battlefield fell into a white heat, and then looked at the Meijiazhou battlefield that was fighting more fiercely and fighting more white-hot, Lu Fatzi and Hilgen couldn't help muttering in unison, "The key is to look at the third battlefield, who can win the third battlefield, who can break the balance of power in the decisive battlefield of northern Jiangxi, and who can win the final victory of the decisive battle!" ”

………………

When the time of Shen is approaching, when the Meijiazhou battlefield and the Dagutang battlefield have fallen into a temporary stalemate, the Qing army sailors with absolute strength and number finally approached the Shuimen Wharf at the north gate of Jiujiang, more than 200 huge ships and thousands of small boats and light boats on the river surface to form a 'diamond' shaped lineup, the battle flag is like a forest, the swords and guns are like the sea, the large and small ships are as dense as reeds, so dense that the water surface of the Yangtze River is almost completely covered, and the momentum is unparalleled. And the Wu army's sailors who received the scout report also all left the port, and there were pitiful 50 or so variegated warships and more than 200 sampans lined up on the river, posing - escape posture!

"Wu Dog Sailor has finally left the port!" Seeing such a scene, the commander of the Jiangnan Navy Division of the Qing Army, Beile E, laughed proudly and shouted: "Raise the flag, charge the whole army, and rush up to kill this water division of Wu Gou!" ”

"Lord Belle, please be careful." Hargaqi, the deputy commander of the Qing army, who was authorized by Hilgen to command the third battlefield, hurriedly grabbed E Nai and reminded: "Don't forget Yang Jie's warning from Yang Junmen, Wu Gou has a tactic called suicide sampan, use a light sampan driven by two people to fill it with new gunpowder, hit our big ship and detonate it, and end up with our warship, and one sampan can be exchanged for a sand boat for us!" ”

"Fuck Wu dog, shameless!" Obel scolded and changed his words: "Raise the flag, the whole army will keep the formation and continue to advance, the gunboats will first suppress the Wu Dog Sailor Division with artillery, and the small boats will come forward to cover!" Then send someone to order all boats to be careful of Wu Gou's suicide sampan, once Wu Gou's sampan approaches, it will be sunk first. ”

The flag was raised, the Qing army's light boats stepped forward to cover, and the giant warships pushed back, approaching the Wu army's naval division in a battle formation unhurriedly. And Li Guodong, the commander of the Wu Army's naval division, saw that there was no loophole to exploit, so he honestly implemented Lu Fatzi's tactics, ordered the banner to be played, and the whole army fled for his life! - If you don't run away, you can't do it, the disparity in strength is too far.

The flag was raised, and the ships of the Wu army raised their sails, taking advantage of the strong southeast wind that was constantly blowing at the turn of spring and summer, and fled for their lives towards the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Seeing such a scene, the Qing army fleet was naturally laughing and shaking, booing and scolding endlessly, and E Nai was even more proud, and shouted: "Send an order to Ghent Baturu, let him lead fifty warships, three hundred light boats, and go all out to hunt down and kill Wu Gou's fleet!" ”

"Tell General Ghent that you can only chase and kill for thirty miles, and you must not pursue too deep!" Hargaqi cautiously added, and the herald cheerfully agreed, and jumped into the boat to give the order. Ernai and Hargaqi continued to command the Qing army's naval divisions to advance westward, lined up in front of the water gate north of the Jiujiang River, ready to launch a siege battle at any time.

At the beginning of the Shen period, in view of Hilgen's repeated urging of the naval division to attack the city and relieve the pressure on the land battlefield, after consultation, Hargaqi and Ernai decided to approach the water gate with gunboats first, and bombard the four forts on the Jiujiang water gate with the ship's artillery to suppress the Wu army's artillery fire.

The plan was certain, the flag was raised, and more than 60 Qing warships equipped with artillery immediately lowered their sails and swayed, relying entirely on manpower to slowly approach the Jiujiang Water Gate, and more than 40 Qing warships with hidden landing armor behind followed behind, and other ships escorted the formation. Here is an explanation of the situation, because in this era, only Lu Fatzi mastered the iron mold casting cannon method that can quickly cast cannons, and the Qing Dynasty court, which relied on the mite casting cannons, was far from catching up with the shipbuilding speed in terms of cannon casting, and the more than 100 warships that Mu Tianyan built for the Qing army in Anqing had no time to catch up with the equipped artillery, so although there were many warships in the Qing army, less than half of the warships were really equipped with artillery, and then excluding the warships that were taken by Gent to pursue Li Guodong, the gunboats in the hands of E Nai, there were only these sixty-five.

When this huge Qing army fleet had just entered the three-mile range of the Wu army's artillery defending the city, before the Qing warship turned around and aimed its guns at the Jiujiang Water Gate, the four Wu army batteries on the Jiujiang Water Gate were already loud and took the lead in launching an artillery attack.

"Boom! Bang! Bang! In the continuous sound of artillery, rows of black cannonballs were sprayed out one after another on the Wu army battery, whistling and smashing the head and face to the head of the Qing fleet, limited to the artillery accuracy of this era, more than half of the shells fell into the water and exploded, splashing several zhang of water, but there were also nearly half of the shells falling on the head of the Qing army's fleet, blowing up the masts of the Qing army warships and flying upside down, sawdust soaring into the sky, and even more so that the Qing soldiers on the deck cried wolf howls, and blood sprayed like waves.

At this time, the warships of the Qing army that had turned around had also begun to fire cannons, and the Wu army fort launched a confrontation, all kinds of flowering shells and solid cannonballs came and went, endlessly, on the river, on the land, on the docks, and inside and outside the city walls, everywhere was filled with gunsmoke, the water splashed into the sky, and nothing could be seen clearly, and the fierce explosion sound and the sound of the cannon were even more mixed together, shaking the eardrums of the soldiers on both sides were buzzing, and they were almost deaf.

The magnificent and magnificent artillery battle continued, the Qing gunboats had a numerical advantage, sixty-five gunboats were equipped with ten guns per ship, two on the deck, and four on each side of the ship, even if the guns on the other side of the ship could not be put into battle, six guns per ship was about 380 guns - of course, the artillery specifications were different, the types and firing ranges were different, there were primitive Francos, there were Dutch guns bought from the West, and there were also sub-cannons and Hongyi cannons cast by the Qing army themselves, and some of the firepower was reduced. Although there are only more than 60 artillery pieces on the Wu army's side, more than 50 of them are copper sub-mother cannons or bronze cannons that are not easy to explode-including more than 20 artillery pieces that were given to Lu Fatzi when Zhangtai Bei Ziye abandoned Jiujiang City.

After another period of bombardment, the Qing army's naval division gradually felt a little difficult, because the Wu army's original shells have now been replaced with new flowering shells with three good explosives, and the power is far more than the original flowering shells and more primitive solid shells of the Qing army's internal black powder. Therefore, after nearly half an hour of confrontation, the Qing warships were sunk, more than 20 warships were damaged, and the sailors and sailors on board suffered countless losses, and although the Wu army fort was also completely shrouded in gunsmoke, it was still firing more than cannon, and it was difficult to judge the specific losses caused by the Qing army's artillery bombardment to the Wu army's artillery team.

Seeing such a result, Erna Belle finally understood Hilgen's previous hard work, the reason why Hilgen insisted on preventing his sailors from attacking the Wu Army's Water Gate was not because he was afraid that he would be rewarded for his meritorious service, but to protect himself, in the face of such a powerful Wu Army cannonball, relying on the artillery battle alone, the possibility of breaking through the Jiujiang Water Gate head-on was really not very big.

E Nai suddenly realized here, but Lord Hargaqiha was so anxious next to him that he jumped to his feet, scolding Han Daren for not doing things well, and he hadn't launched an internal response for so long, seizing the Wu Army Fort from the inside and opening the Water Gate, so that the Self Army and the Wu Army Fort could be bombarded again, even if the Water Gate could be breached, it would inevitably be a heavy loss, which was not conducive to the next tactical action that the Anqing Qing Army was looking forward to - counterattacking Wuchang!

"Huh? Why does Wu Gou's fort seem to have stopped one?! When he was very nervous, Hargaqi was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that a fort on the right side of the Jiujiang Water Gate seemed to suddenly mute fire and stopped firing. Immediately afterwards, the other battery on the right also followed the mute fire, and then the two batteries on the left also followed the mute fire, no longer pouring the terrible flowering shells at the Qing fleet.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Lord Enai Belle also found that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly shouted an order, "Stop firing, Wu Gou's artillery has stopped!" It's like we deserve it! ”

The flag was played out for a long time, and the Qing army fleet, which had been completely shrouded in gunsmoke, finally stopped the artillery fire one after another, and soon, the gunpowder smoke on the Jiujiang Water Gate also gradually dissipated in the river wind, and Han Daren's Hanzi banner appeared on the Water Gate Tower, and the Jiujiang Water Gate, which had been closed for a long time, finally rose slowly between the shaking wheels of the mutinous soldiers of the Wu army. Immediately afterwards, Han Daren's banner waved, and an earth-shattering neat shout immediately erupted on the wall of the Water Gate, "Long live the Qing Dynasty!" Banzai! Hooray! ”

"Got it! Finally got it! Hargaqi cried with joy, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly raise the flag, the troop transport ship will enter the city and land, reinforce General Han Daren, and kill the remnants of Wu Gou in the city!" ”

"Master Ha, let's go too!" E Nai danced and roared: "The flagship is advancing, Ben Beile will personally be the first to enter Jiujiang City, and avenge my Qing Empress and Prince!" ”

"Long live the Qing Dynasty! Banzai! Hooray! In the neat and loud shouts of the Qing soldiers and the rebel soldiers of the Wu army, the flagship of the Qing army's naval division, which was personally seated by the Lord of the Qing Army, took the lead, swaying and paddling to the Jiujiang Water Gate, and the Qing warships carrying thousands of elite soldiers were also urging one by one, rushing to the Jiujiang Water Gate, leaning on the land or the Water Gate Wharf that had been bombarded by artillery, and even more rushed off the land, shouting and rushing into the Jiujiang City............

On March 25, the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi in the Great Qing Dynasty, the afternoon was approaching, after a day of fierce battles and bloody battles, the main force of the Qing Dynasty in northern Jiangxi, under the response of Han Daren, the general of the Wu rebel army who had returned anyway, successfully attacked the Jiujiang Water Gate, successfully entered the Jiujiang City, and broke the stalemate of the decisive battle in northern Jiangxi in one fell swoop! ——The author can swear that it is true that it broke the deadlock in the decisive battle in northern Jiangxi in one fell swoop!
