Chapter 507: The Jingnan Army moved in front of the formation
"go ahead!"
"go ahead!"
"go ahead!"
"One two one! One two one! One two one!"
"..."
Neat movements, uniform clothes and armor, and mighty military might.
The distance between the two armies was still nearly 200 meters, but the Ming army's musketeers had already pulled the triggers and started firing volleys.
Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang bang!
Amidst bursts of crisp musket fire, densely packed lead bullets headed towards the Jingnan Army's array.
The lead bullets rotated and shot out of the barrel of the gun, leaving a very obvious trajectory in the air, carrying intense energy and shooting towards the enemy in front of them.
A lead bullet hit the body of Sergeant Jingnan, and a ball of blood exploded on his body, and blood spurted out.
Even the bones and internal organs were smashed into pieces, turning them into a pile of meaningless flesh and blood tissue.
All the rifled guns of the Ming Army musketeers showed considerable lethality and accuracy even within a range of 200 meters.
Amidst the sound of neat musket fire, soldiers of the Jingnan Army were constantly hit by lead bullets.
The Jingnan soldiers in the front row fell to the ground row by row like wheat.
Many wounded soldiers who were hit by lead bullets but luckily survived lay on the ground and let out shrill screams.
Every face was filled with deep despair.
The neat array of the Ming army pressed forward continuously, and the shouts and shouts of killing shook the surrounding areas.
The neat sound of muskets was like a life-threatening curse. Every time it was sounded, a large number of Jingnan soldiers would fall to the ground.
On this battlefield, life has become the least valuable thing.
The musketeers of the Liberation Army were like emotionless machines, their movements were neat and they followed the steps of loading meticulously.
Take out the bullet, bite open the cartridge case, stuff the gunpowder, paper cartridge case, and lead bullet into the barrel of the gun, and then compact it with a purge bar...
Aim the gun and pull the trigger!
This neat and smooth, standardized movement like an assembly line is truly terrifying.
It caused great psychological pressure on the Jingnan Army on the opposite side!
The battlefield was filled with smoke. In addition to the muskets being fired, small-caliber field artillery was also pushed onto the battlefield.
Boom! Boom!
Amidst the roar of artillery, countless projectiles flew on the battlefield.
Large swaths of shotgun pellets formed a dense barrage, blasting gaps one after another in the Jingnan Army's formation.
Large swaths of soldiers fell to the ground screaming!
The cotton armor worn by the soldiers of the Jingnan Army hardly provided any protection.
Solid artillery shells flew everywhere on the battlefield, smashing bloody paths in the Jingnan Army array.
After the kinetic energy of the cannonball was exhausted, it was covered with blood and minced meat, spinning on the ground.
The Ming army continued to press forward, reloading as they advanced, and then pulled the trigger.
The Jingnan Army in front of them has no enemy at all.
Li Sheng, the general of the Jingnan Army, looked at the scene on the battlefield and had the idea of turning in front of the formation to preserve his strength, and shouted urgently.
"The thieves are so powerful that they cannot be defeated, so retreat quickly!"
"Preservation of strength should come first!"
"..."
After Li Sheng gave the order, his troops turned around and fled.
The escape of Li Sheng's troops was like opening a Pandora's box for the Jingnan Army.
One after another, soldiers and horses chose to move in front of the formation!
The Jingnan Army chose to collapse before the main forces of both sides had a real handover.
One troop retreated, and other troops followed suit.
The defeat was inevitable!
On the battlefield outside Fuzhou City, soldiers were defeated all over the mountains and plains.
Many soldiers of the Jingnan Army have even begun to discard their armor and weapons in order to escape for their lives.
At this moment, the Ming cavalry, which had just withdrawn from the battlefield to recuperate its power, roared in again.
They formed small groups and charged on horseback.
Relying on the speed advantage of his own cavalry, he drove away the defeated troops on the battlefield.
After charging again and again, countless defeated soldiers fell under their horse hooves and swords.
The war horse was panting heavily, and large beads of sweat poured down its strong body.
Obviously, the war horse's physical strength has not fully recovered!
However, the Ming army's cavalry obviously didn't care, and instead continued to fight.
The Jingnan Army, which had originally collapsed because someone moved in front of the formation, was further defeated by the Ming Army's cavalry, who were killed and killed.
Some generals in the Jingnan Army wanted to change the situation and stand up to save the defeated army.
But as soon as they started to gather troops and horses, the Ming army's cavalry suddenly arrived.
Scatter the soldiers and horses they finally gathered together!
Their heads were also chopped off!
A part of the Ming army's cavalry consciously stared at the organized troops to cover up and kill them.
Use your own cavalry advantage to cause as much damage to the Jingnan Army as possible!
The horses were still galloping, while the main force of the Ming army's cavalry circled along the edge of the battlefield, cutting off the route of the fleeing Jingnan army.
And cooperated with the main force of our own infantry to shrink the encirclement little by little.
The scene on the battlefield today is that the Ming army of tens of thousands of people surrounded the Jingnan Army Corps of tens of thousands of people, and continued to compress their living space.
It sounds nonsense, but it's true.
More than 10,000 Ming troops were able to suppress tens of thousands of Jingnan troops, and the Jingnan army was still unable to fight back.
On the battlefield, the sound of neat musket firing and the roar of artillery continued.
The Jingnan Army suffered large swathes of casualties!
Everyone at the top of Fuzhou City looked at the scene outside the city with shock on their faces.
Looking at each other in silence.
And I was shocked by the strength of the Ming army!
If the Ming army in the Jiashen period could be as good at fighting as it is now, how could the Qing captives be able to invade the Central Plains?!
How can we still steal the land of China?!
At this time, a group of Ming army cavalry rushed to the foot of Fuzhou City and shouted to the city.
"Where is Cai Yaozu? My general has summoned him!"
Upon hearing this, Cai Yaozu leaned out and replied.
"I am Cai Yaozu, I wonder what the general wants from me?"
The cavalry captain spoke.
"The general does not want to commit more crimes, so Mr. Xun went to persuade the Jingnan Army in the encirclement to surrender."
"As long as you can persuade the Jingnan Army to surrender, it will be a great achievement for you, sir. My general will ask His Majesty the Supervisor for the credit on your behalf."
When Cai Yaozu heard this, he did not refuse, but spoke.
"General, please wait a moment, I'll be here soon!"
As he spoke, he was ready to go down to the city and walked out of Fuzhou City without even taking any guards.
Because there is no need to bring it!
If the Ming army wanted to kill him, it would be useless no matter how many guards they brought.
If the Ming army wanted to protect him, it would be fine without a single bodyguard.
Cai Yaozu met Li Guangyuan under the banner of the Ming army.
Today, Li Guangyuan is also dressed in military uniform, has a majestic appearance, and looks quite imposing.
"Student Cai Yaozu, meet the general!"
As he said that, Cai Yaozu wanted to kneel down and salute.
But he was supported by Li Guangyuan and said warmly.
"Sir, there is no need to be polite. I don't like kneeling down here in the Ming Dynasty. Just bow your hands and bow."
After Cai Yaozu stood up straight, Li Guangyuan continued.
"Now that the overall situation in Fuzhou has been decided, the main force of the Jingnan Army is surrounded by our army outside Fuzhou City!"
“You can eat it in one bite at any time!”
"It's just that I don't want to commit more killings. Sir, could you please go to the Jingnan Army for me?"
"If they are willing to come and surrender, bygones be bygones."
"Prosperity, wealth, and the future of our children and grandchildren are guaranteed!"
"His Royal Highness Jianguo has always been generous and never treats those who have made meritorious deeds unfairly!"
Cai Yaozu cupped his fists and said.
"Students will surely live up to our high expectations!"
"We must persuade the Jingnan Army to come back!"
Having said that, Cai Yaozu did not delay, turned around and headed towards the surrounded Jingnan Army.
