When the sun rose to the middle of the sky, the second main battlefield of the Wu army in northern Jiangxi and the Qing army in northern Jiangxi, and the only way from Nankang Fucheng to Meijiazhou, the Wu army led by Gao Dejie and the Nanchang Qing army led by Zhao Guozuo, the veteran of the Qing Dynasty, met head-on, and on this open battlefield, launched a life-and-death contest, a duel of victory and defeat!

This is a duel between evil and justice, as a loyal lackey and hardcore accomplice of Wu Lao Han Annihilation, Gao Dejie is not only the vanguard of Wu Lao Han Annihilation's team to enter Myanmar, the executor of the Yongli Emperor, but also the right-hand man of Wu Lao Han's resistance to ethnic integration, the executioner of the brutal massacre of the descendants of Mrs. Xiangxiang, and the eternal sinner who destroyed the spread of culture. Goldjack is undoubtedly one of the culprits!

However, as a righteous party, the old general Zhao Guozuo of the Qing Dynasty can be said to be outstanding in battle, famous for thousands of years, as early as my Qing Dynasty Tiancong years, has followed me Emperor Taizong Taiji of the Qing Dynasty to fight in the east and west, the south and the north to fight, and after my Qing Dynasty Eight Banners entered the customs, Zhao Lao General has participated in the Qing Dynasty's famous Yangzhou Ten Said Bandit War, Jiading Sandang Rebel War and Yijian Jiangyin Ping Kou Battle, the meritorious officer to the second class Ada Hahafan, inlaid with the white flag Han army solid mountain Ezhen! Subsequently, our old general Zhao of the Qing Dynasty successfully eliminated the disturbance and destruction of the southeast coast of our Qing Dynasty by the rebel Zheng Chenggong, and also smashed the ambition of Zheng Chenggong's traitors to occupy the important town of Nanjing in the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop, maintained the harmonious and stable prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, and established immortal feats for our Qing Dynasty! The official title of Governor of Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty is well-deserved!

The comparison of the strength of the two sides is as follows, the Wu army has 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, and the Qing army has more than 4,000 cavalry and about 6,000 infantry. Therefore, after the initial investigation of the enemy's situation, Gao Dejie quickly made tactical arrangements, let his deputies Wu Yonghua, Gao Qi and Li Xiongfei lead the infantry of the Wu army to form a middle formation, 800 Sanhao rockets lined up in front of the formation, and blocked the north to attack the Qing army, and he and his brother Gao Hongchen divided the 5,000 cavalry into two, arranged on the two wings of the infantry, ready to launch a flank raid at any time.

At the same time, Zhao Guozuo also quickly made a tactical choice, in view of the scout's detection that the Meijiazhou ferry in the north had started a battle, Zhao Guozuo decisively gave up the plan to break through the Wu army's resistance with all his strength, and decided to implement the second purpose of the tactics given to him by Hilgen, that is, to entangle Gao Dejie's main force of the Wu army and reduce the pressure on other battlefields. Therefore, Zhao Guozuo decisively ordered the Qing army to stop in a wide area about five miles away from the Wu army, and arranged a circle formation that was conducive to holding, with sword soldiers and spearmen outside, archers and musketeers inside, and cavalry hidden in the center of the circle, like a poisonous snake coiled, ready to spit out deadly venom at any time.

At the beginning of noon, the two armies had just finished arranging their formations, and Gao Dejie, who liked to rush to fight, took the lead in launching an offensive, waving a flag and ordering Gao Hongchen on the left flank to take the lead in attacking, rushing around the huge circle of the Qing army, constantly shooting and killing the Qing soldiers on the periphery with bows and arrows and muskets, and patiently looking for flaws in the Qing army's formation. The Qing soldiers, under the command of Zhao Guozuo, calmly suppressed their positions, and desperately returned fire with bows, arrows and muskets, and also continued to shoot the Wu cavalry that entered the firing range. In mid-air, arrows and lead bullets came and went like locusts, and the screams of soldiers and horses who were shot by arrows were endless.

Around the Qing army's circle around more than a dozen circles, in view of the Qing army's bows and muskets are too dense, Gao Hongchen's Wu cavalry has never been able to find the ideal breakthrough, and gradually became a little unbreathable, sent someone to fly Gao Dejie, asking for a surprise attack on the Qing army's battle formation, opening the way for the rear army to charge, Gao Dejie decisively refused, and ordered: "Our cavalry is precious, not to be wasted at will, retreat to the left flank to reorganize the team, replenish ammunition bows and arrows." ”

The order was conveyed, Gao Hongchen's army retreated to the left flank of the self-army formation to rest, the Qing army was thunderous, Zhao Guozuo's son Zhao Yue and his love general Chang Jinggong rushed to Zhao Guozuo to ask for battle, asking Zhao Guozuo to allow the cavalry of the self-army to attack and pursue Gao Hongchen's retreating team, Zhao Guozuo decisively refused, shouting: "No! Did you see those giant arrows in front of Wu Gou's formation? According to the confession of the Wu dog soldiers captured by our army before, it was called a rocket, and the more than 20,000 cavalry in Ao Zhongtang back then died in front of these rockets! If our cavalry attacks, it will only be sent to death in vain! ”

"Father, what should I do?" Zhao Yue asked worriedly.

"Wait patiently." Zhao Guozuo's face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "In the previous Jiujiang battles, Wu Gou was not willing to use this powerful field firearm, so it can be seen that the rocket in Wu Gou's hand is either not a small number, or it is difficult to supply, so Wu Gou has been saving on use, and now it is deployed in front of the battle, obviously it is intended to be used to destroy our cavalry. Therefore, we can only wait patiently, and wait until Wu Gou can't hold his breath and use up these new firearms, and our cavalry will be useful. ”

At this time, the cavalry led by Gao Hongchen had retreated to the left flank of the Wu army, just holding down the position, Gao Dejie had personally led the cavalry of the Wu army on the right flank to attack, taking the previous tactics, circling the Qing army circle in a counterclockwise circle, constantly shooting the Qing soldiers on the periphery with bows and arrows and muskets, the Qing soldiers desperately fought back, the two hundred cavalry behind the Wu army team suddenly broke away from the brigade, and strode diagonally to reduce the distance with the Qing army's round formation. And quickly ran away, rejoined the brigade, and the grenade entered the Qing army and exploded, which immediately caused the Qing infantry to cry wolf, flesh and blood fly, and the position for a long distance was also in chaos.

"Fuck! And this hand! Zhao Guozuo scolded and hurriedly shouted: "Keep the bow and arrow musket dense, don't stop, never stop!" ”

The order was conveyed that the Qing army's bows and muskets were more intensive, but the Wu army only used the grenade tactics just now and no longer wasted them, but continued to use the original bows and muskets to disturb the periphery of the Qing army's battle formation, and continued to patiently look for flaws in the Qing army's formation. At the same time, the Qing army's reserves of arrows and muskets and ammunition were rapidly decreasing imperceptibly, and the speed was getting faster and faster - this was a field battle on the plains, and the Qing army's ammunition and arrows had no place to replenish.

After going around the Qing army's circular array for more than a dozen circles, he still couldn't find the flaws in the Qing army's turtle formation, and the Wu cavalry, who had run out of arrows and ammunition, had to withdraw to the right flank to rest and replenish, watching Gao Dejie's banner disappear into the dust and smoke brought up by the horse's hooves, Zhao Yue spat heavily, and sneered: "People say that Gao Dajie is brave and good at fighting, and he is brave, but so, he doesn't even have the courage to rush our army's big array, and he is also a brave general?" ”

"Gao Dejie, this Wu dog, what tricks are he playing?" Zhao Guozuo was also puzzled in his heart, and said secretly: "I heard that this Wu Dog is Wu Sangui's favorite general, since he joined Wu Gou's army, he has never lost a battle, how can he be so timid and cowardly, using such passive and conservative tactics?" ”

"Military Gate, Military Gate." Xu Zhen, the chief soldier in charge of the outer defense, ran up quickly, arched his hand and said: "Open the military gate, our infantry has little arrows and ammunition left, please allocate it to the military gate in order to fight again!" ”

"Running out of ammo?" Zhao Guozuo was stunned at first, and asked in surprise: "Why is it used so quickly?" The old man remembered that when he set out, the infantry archers of our army each carried two pots of arrows for a total of sixty arrows, and the musketeers each carried two rounds of gunpowder to shoot more than 20 shots, why did they run out so quickly? ”

"There is no way, in order to prevent Wu Gou from getting close and throwing grenades, our army had to use a large number of bows and arrows and muskets to suppress it, so it was used quickly." Xu Zhen replied helplessly, and added quite aggrievedly, "Also, it is your order from the military gate, and the bow and arrow and musket cannot be stopped." ”

"How many arrows and gunpowder do we have left?" Looking at the white and dense reed-like arrows on the battlefield in the distance, Zhao Guozuo suddenly remembered a major event.

"Back to my father, I don't count the cavalry that I carry with me." Zhao Yue pointed to the baggage cart in the distance and replied: "There are still two thousand eight hundred pots of arrows left, and one thousand six hundred pieces of gunpowder, which is just enough for the archers in our army to supply two pots of arrows each, and the musketeers to supply two pots of gunpowder each." ”

Zhao Guozuo's forehead oozed sweat, and finally understood Gao Dejie's tactical purpose, Gao Dejie's cavalry flowed to fight, and the consumption of bows and arrows and ammunition was not large, and the Qing army fought on the spot with bows and arrows and muskets to suppress the cavalry raid of the Wu army, preventing the cavalry of the Wu army from approaching and throwing bombs, and the number of arrows and ammunition consumed was naturally amazing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guozuo suddenly remembered a major event, in the previous Jianchang War, the amount of heavy grain and grass he brought from Nanchang was burned by Gao Dejie himself, although some supplies were transported from Nanchang during this time, and some were supported by friendly forces in Hukou, but the reserve situation was far from returning to the peak state when he set off from Nanchang, which means that Gao Dejie probably expected that his long-range weapons would not be very sufficient before the war!

"Father, it's not a way to go on like this." Zhao Yue also came to his senses and hurriedly said: "If our army is so passive and sticks to the same place, when the arrows and ammunition are used up, there will be no way to stop Wu Gou's cavalry raid!" We must take the initiative to break Wu Gou's wishful thinking. ”

"It can't be helped, it's just that." Zhao Guozuo had no choice but to point to the right wing of the Wu army and shouted: "Yue'er, respectfully, the two of you led three thousand cavalry out of the battle to rush Wu Gou's right flank, Gao Dejie Xiao'er has just withdrawn from the battlefield, the horses and soldiers are very tired, this is an opportunity!" But remember, you can only outflank in a roundabout, and you can't impact the front of Wu Dog's big array! ”

Zhao Yue and Chang Jinggong took the order and left, organized the cavalry to attack, and the Qing army's circle formation also opened the gap and released the own cavalry, and then quickly closed and re-densed into a group. Seeing this scene, Gao Dejie couldn't help laughing and said: "The turtle formation full of dogs has finally moved, and the order goes down, Gao Hongchen's left cavalry continues to wait for the fighters, and the infantry formation advances, opening the way with rockets, blowing up the turtle formation full of dogs, and mixing with the dogs!" Fight more and fight less, and cut all the dogs! ”

"General, it's too wasteful to fill the dog infantry with rockets, isn't it?" Guo Yingfu, the deputy general of the cavalry of the Wu Army next to him, hurriedly reminded: "The habit of our army, precious rockets are used to blow up dog cavalry. ”

"That's because everyone else is afraid of cavalry battles, but I, do I need to be afraid?" Gao Dejie, who can definitely rank among the top three in the Wu army in terms of cavalry combat ability, sneered loudly and said: "Zhao Guozuo Lao'er's cavalry is only 4,000, and Lao Tzu's cavalry is 5,000. ”

Guo Yingfu suddenly realized, quickly patted a few sycophants, and sent someone to Pegasus to give the order. After a while, the cavalry of the Qing army outflanked and killed the right flank of the Wu army, Gao Dejie ignored the fatigue of the soldiers and war horses, and roared, "Sons, the dogs are tired of bullying the old men!" Counter-charge, let them see, kill all the dogs, will our Yungui cavalry be tired! ”

After that, Gao Dejie raised his sword and waved, and personally led the cavalry on the right flank to launch a counter-charge towards the Qing cavalry, and the Wu cavalry behind him also roared like thunder, following Gao Dejie's banner to sprint on horseback, and the tide rushed to the Qing cavalry. At the same time, Gao Qi and Li Xiongfei, who commanded the Wu army's infantry array, also waved the order flag, urging the Wu army's infantry array, pushing a light and simple rocket launcher, rhythmically shouting the slogan of the Great Zhou, trotting all the way to Zhao Guozuo's turtle formation, and slowly but firmly pressing towards the front of the Qing army.

"Hold your ground, bow and arrow musket ready!" Zhao Guozuo didn't expect Gao Dejie to urge the precious rocket team to rush his turtle formation, so he could only shout when he was caught off guard, "Cavalry preparation, Wu Gou's rockets are used up, attack immediately!" ”

"Huh——! Whew——! Whew——! When the infantry of the Wu army rushed into the Qing army brigade within two miles, Li Xiongfei, the general of the Wu army who commanded the rocket array, waved the flag, and the three hundred Sanhao rockets that had been installed on the rocket car were ignited together............

"Kill——!" At the same time, the cavalry of the Wu army led by Gao Dejie had also collided head-on with the cavalry of the Qing army, and suddenly broke out with a fierce collision of gold and iron and the sound of people roaring and neighing..................

………………

At the same time on the battlefield of Meijiazhou, the Wu infantry led by Hu Tongchun has also been completely mixed with the Qing infantry led by Shi Jiabao, and an earth-shattering hand-to-hand bloody battle broke out. The ground was strewn with corpses, and blood flowed down the docks, staining the waters near the docks pink.

At this time, the second wave of the Qing army's troop transport fleet had already docked, and the Qing soldiers on the troop transport ship jumped off the dock one after another, jumped into the shallow water, rushed to land with red eyes, and joined the battle group. The Wu army's subordinate artillery team also opened fire again, pouring one after another flowering shells onto the head of the Qing army's troop transport fleet, frantically bombarding the Qing army's ships and the Qing soldiers on the deck preparing to land, the Qing soldiers fell into the river one after another while dodging, and the sound of ship collisions, explosions, shouts of killing, slogans, screams of falling into the water and dying screams converged into one, echoing for ten miles, even in the Qing army camp on the east bank of Poyang Lake, it can still be heard clearly.

"General, General!" At this time, Kong Fanlin, the scout leader of the Fat Army, personally slapped his horse and rushed back to the Wu Army's banner array, knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Fatzi, and clenched his fists and played: "General Qiqi, the escort fleet of the Mangou Water Division suddenly went north, joined the main force of the Mangou Water Division in the area of Xia Zhongshan, went upstream, and went in the direction of Jiujiang City!" The last general suspected that the Mangou Water Division was probably planning to attack the Jiujiang Water Gate when the main force of our army had already left the city! ”

"Ignore them, keep watching." Lu Fatzi waved his hand, then turned to Quan Jie and ordered: "General Quan, Hutongchun has been completely mixed with Mangou, and it is difficult for Mingjin to withdraw, lead 3,000 infantry up and pick up Hutongchun's team back, more than 10,000 Mangou have already landed on the west bank, no matter how generous the old fox is, he doesn't have the courage to throw it away." ”

"Order!" Quan Jie clenched his fists and agreed, and hurriedly went down to organize the army to attack.

"Brother Lu...... Great General. Kong Fanlin, who did not leave immediately, hesitated for a moment, then clenched his fists and said: "General, the scout in charge of the last general also found that some of the dog-filled warships had a deep draft, and they seemed to be carrying troops. Feint to attack Meijiazhou Wharf, attack Jiujiang Water Gate, and by the way, still want to eat our sailors? ”

"It's good, it's good to be so careful, and you can analyze the sound of dogs, and you can count your heart." Fat Lu nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, I have already arranged a grand banquet, just waiting to entertain this surprise army full of dogs." ”
