In the central part of Ganzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi, on a huge battlefield, Li Chengliang's 500,000 Ming troops and Wang Shengrong's 180,000 People's Army fought here.

The battlefield was from north to south, with the rear army, central army, front army and the main force of the People's Army led by Wang Shengrong, 130,000 people per month. On the left and right wings of the Ming army, several people's army marched northward. Two people's army had already launched an attack on the Ming army's central army led by Li Chengliang.

The People's Army, with only over 10,000 people, dared to launch an attack on the main force of the Ming army, which made Li Chengliang completely angry and directly ordered the army to divide the troops into two groups, and at all costs, wiped out the two People's Army with more than 10,000 people each.

When the Ming army attacked, the People's Army retreated. The People's Army, which was good at long-distance raids, was not afraid of the Ming army's pursuit. However, now, Li Chengliang sent out the cavalry troops. Even if the cavalry troops were all destroyed, Li Chengliang would destroy the People's Army retreating in front.

"Brother Fu, the Ming army has sent cavalry to chase us, prepare for battle." Shao Feng, the commander of the Fifth Division, said to Fu Yutang, the commander of the Seventh Division beside him.

Fu Yutang replied little by little, "Then let's fight. The reinforcements are not far from us. There are not many Ming cavalry chasing us. It seems that there are only two or three thousand. Let's build a simple position here, destroy all the Ming cavalry, and then give the chasing Ming army a big one."

"good."

The two division commanders Shao Feng and Fu Yutang immediately issued combat orders, and more than 12,000 people in their troops stopped. The musketeers, the soldiers who boarded the war, and the grenadiers were preparing for combat.

In front of the People's Army, more than 3,000 Ming cavalry rushed towards him. General Zhou, who led this cavalry, looked at the People's Army that had stopped in front, and his eyes were full of "military achievements".

"Ship Li asked me to delay the retreat. It was not enough. There were only more than 10,000 thieves. How could 10,000 thieves resist my three thousand iron cavalry?" Thinking of this, General Zhou shouted directly to the Ming cavalry around him: "Rare me, destroy the thieves in front, and everyone will be promoted and make money!"

"First column, fire!"

The Ming cavalry had just rushed into the 700-meter line, and the People's Army musketeers commanders issued combat orders one after another. More than 700 lead bullets rushed out of the muzzle with flames and black smoke, attacking the Ming cavalry running towards them.

In the blink of an eye, more than 700 lead bullets collided head-on with the Ming cavalry. Even if hundreds of cavalry were hit by lead bullets, they were either killed or injured. Instead, the number of larger targeted war horses hit by lead bullets was far smaller than the number of Ming army hit by lead bullets.

In the People's Army, every musketeer has been trained for a lot of time. It is impossible for everyone to be a sharpshooter. As long as you master the shooting angle, the possibility of hitting a war horse hundreds of meters away is far less than that of the Ming army who hit the war horse.

Horses are relatively precious in the People's Army. There are not many cavalry units in the People's Army. Horses are more used to carry people and transport cargo. As cement roads connect various places, the People's Army needs more horses, so Fang Nan issued an order to the People's Army. If possible, kill as few war horses as possible during battle.

The Ming army's cavalry was already in a charge state. Hundreds of people in front were hit by lead bullets and most of them fell off their horses. Before the cavalry behind could react, more than 700 lead bullets were attacked, and hundreds of Ming army were hit by lead bullets.

The tragic situation of colleagues in front made the people following behind them full of fear. The cavalry charged in groups, and the cavalry alone could no longer leave. Facing the muskets of the People's Army, they could only make a choice. The Ming army riding on the war horses all lowered their bodies. At this time, whoever dared to stand up straight and charge towards the People's Army would be seeking death.

Seeing the charge of the Ming cavalry, one by one, the People's Army musketeers lowered their musket shooting angle and pointed it directly at the Ming cavalry's war horses, their eyes were full of regret.

The battle between two thousand and two hundred musketeers and three thousand cavalry was determined as soon as the moment the musketeers opened fire. The Ming cavalry was all shot and killed before they rushed to the 200-meter range of musketeers, and only about one percent of the cavalry escaped by chance.

The Ming cavalry was destroyed by the People's Army. The large army of the Ming army behind the Ming cavalry rushed up, and there was still a distance of more than 350 meters between the two sides.

At this time, the People's Army could still choose to retreat, but Shao Feng and Fu Yutang did not choose to retreat. The reinforcements were coming later. There were reinforcements from two divisions. In total, there were four musket regiments with as many as 4,400 musketeers. As long as the Ming army had no combat chariots, even 100,000 people could block it!

In the front of the People's Army, the musketeers standing in three rows kept loading ammunition and fired, and waves of lead shots were shot at the Ming army hundreds of meters away, like half of the surging sea water. Rows of Ming soldiers fell down, and the Ming soldiers behind them continued to rush forward without fear of life and death.

Faced with the People's Army's guns and bullets, the Ming soldiers rushed forward frantically, and after a while, they had only advanced dozens of meters away. For these dozens of meters away, thousands of Ming soldiers had already fallen.

"What a great firearm."

When Li Chengliang learned about the battle situation ahead, he had to sigh, why is this sharp firearm in the hands of the enemy, not in his hands? If there were such a sharp firearm, then the Ming Dynasty was his Li Chengliang.

Li Chengliang knew that if he wanted to take down the two people's armies on both sides, the Ming army would have to kill and injure tens of thousands of people and destroy all the people's armies on the battlefield. More than half of the 500,000 troops under his command might have to be killed and injured.

However, as long as you can get the muskets equipped with more than 100,000 people's army, the strength of Li Chengliang's army will not decline much.

What's more, this war is about to be unable to stop. If Li Chengliang ordered the army to retreat, more people might be killed or injured. The only option is to fight, defeat the People's Army, wipe out the People's Army, and win the victory of the battlefield war!

The Ming army was still rushing forward frantically, and the People's Army musketeers kept loading ammunition and firing. In a moment, more than ten thousand Ming troops (including cavalry) had fallen on the battlefield between the Fifth Division and the Seventh Division of the People's Army. Relying on death to pave the way, the distance between the Ming army and the People's Army was less than 150 meters, and the Ming army musketeers were about to appear.

On the battlefield, the array of the Ming army and the People's Army changed at the same time. The soldiers holding shields and swords at the front of the Ming army leaned to the left and right sides to give up their positions to the musketeers; in the front of the People's Army, more musketeers joined in, and reinforcements were coming!

"Open fire!"

The People's Army was faster, and a wave of lead bullets directly collided with the Ming army musketeers who had just appeared and had not had time to open fire. Their fragile bodies could not resist the lead bullets at all. Even if they were knocked down, they would either die or be seriously injured and dying.

The number of musketeers in the People's Army increased directly from 2,200 to 4,400. Although the "width" of the battlefield is limited and the number of musketeers who can shoot at the same time is also limited, more musketeers bring higher shooting frequency.

At this moment, the Ming army could no longer move forward!
