Chapter 328 Old Thief Wu is old after all!
North of Sanjiangkou Town, the sound of horse hooves and explosions on the battlefield were overshadowed by the sudden earth-shaking shouts.
Kang Mazi Fuquan, a high-quality imitation of Kang Mazi, had already started his battle. Just now he had used 5,000 cavalry to defeat more than 1,000 Zhu Heqi. Now he simply went on the field to supervise the battle. He also raised the remaining 5,000 infantrymen behind him, making it clear that they would all go forward.
At the same time, he also sent yellow mantles to convey orders to Zeng Yangxing, Zhao Desheng, Ma Weixing, Bai Xianwen, Wang Jin, Wang Jinggong, Liu Yan, and their immediate superior, Geng Zhaozhong, who were crossing the river slowly.
.....Order them to attack Sanjiangkou Town immediately! There is no need to wait for everyone to cross the Wuyang River before attacking. Instead, they should invest as many troops as they can across the Wuyang River. They must block the Ming army crossing the river to fight at Sanjiangkou at all costs.
In town!
The reason why Fu Quan issued such an order was because he had received reports from the horse scouts and that many Ming troops had crossed the river!
Moreover, the Ming troops who crossed the river did not stop in Sanjiangkou Town. They gathered a few hundred men (a battalion) and formed a square formation to support the Ming troops who were fighting the Eight Banners cavalry.
Although this is a tactic of adding more fuel, you can still win if you add more fuel!
There are only over a thousand Ming troops crossing the river now, and they are already so difficult to fight. If there are another one or two thousand, the consequences will be disastrous!
The general soldiers under Geng Jingzhong who received the order were very active, and soon there was a loud sound of drums and shouts from the west bank of Wuyang River.
"Kill the rebels, protect the Qing Dynasty, raise the flag..."
The cheers from Geng Jingzhong's old troops also reached the ears of Zhu Heji, who was leading a group of "Guards Grenadier Cavalry" to launch an attack.
He originally planned to lead his grenadier cavalry to follow up and drop bombs after the infantry led by the two fierce men Liu Jinzhong and Ling Zongjun repelled the first wave of the Eight Banners soldiers' offensive.
Unexpectedly, although these Eight Banners soldiers from "Beijing's Second Ring Road" were not very good at fighting, they still dared to risk their lives! With the strength of their numbers and at least hundreds of casualties, Liu Jinzhong, Ling Zongjun and the others were stunned.
Dragged into hand-to-hand combat!
Moreover, the group of traitors under Geng Jingzhong on the other side of the Wuyang River started shouting again - it seemed that all the big traitors who led the troops had been won over by Kang Mazi.
Zhu Heji was a little anxious now!
And he did not pretend to be pockmarked. Fuquan led the team in yellow jackets to the battlefield. Because the battlefield was in chaos at this time, his attention was attracted by the fierce fighting in front of the battle group.
There are thousands and hundreds of Ming army infantry carrying at least 5,008 banner soldiers. If they cannot withstand it, the situation will be dangerous.
Thinking of this, Zhu Heji said loudly to the left and right: "Hang the grenade hammer's fuse on the hook!"
As he spoke, he tore off the sealing paper at the end of the grenade hammer one by one, and carefully pulled out the zipper inside. The ends of the zippers were tied into a tight knot to form a ring. The cloth Zhu Heji was wearing
There are two copper hooks on the left and right sides of the mask armor (which is a thick cloth armor that can also be equipped with iron plates). Zhu Heji stuffed the eight grenade hammers into the outer pockets of the mask armor.
The tail ring was carefully inserted into the hook, and the hook was pinched to form a ring. In this way, when Zhu Heji threw thunder, he only had to pick off one thunder and throw it directly, which was very convenient.
It's a pity that the number is still a little small, with few thunder and cavalry.
"Let's go!" Zhu Heji shouted, raised his riding whip and pointed at the place where a fierce battle was breaking out, "Follow me!"
After saying that, he rode forward and quietly approached with a hundred or dozens of Chaozhou cavalrymen.
Although the number of these hundreds and dozens of Chaozhou cavalry is not large, their combat effectiveness is extraordinary. Because they all ride Lusitano horses or mixed-blood Lusitano horses, which are the Portuguese horse brothers of the Andalusian horse.
The shoulder height of these horses is about five feet, which is more than half a foot taller than the horses ridden by the Eight Banners soldiers. Of course, they are also much stronger in physical strength, especially when sprinting over short distances, they are much faster than the Mongolian horses of the Eight Banners soldiers.
Unfortunately, the number was too small. Even though Zhu Heji paid a high price for the purchase, he only managed to get three to four hundred horses. Among them, only a hundred or so were suitable for use as war horses. Now they have all been brought to Jiangxi by Zhu Heji.
These one hundred and dozens of horses, which looked particularly impressive, should have been very conspicuous, but at this time, the two warring parties on the battlefield were already almost killing each other.
Not only did thousands of Eight Banners cavalry appear in the north of Sanjiangkou Town, besieging more than a thousand Ming Army infantry groups, but fighting has also begun here in Sanjiangkou Town.
Geng Zhaozhong's seven general soldiers could not withstand the urging of "Kang Mazi" and Geng Zhaozhong, so they had to mobilize two to three thousand infantry and cavalry, carrying six general cannons, and drove to the northeast of Sanjiangkou Town. They did not dare to attack directly.
Instead, six cannons were fired at Sanjiangkou Town, which actually "set the town on fire."
As for the Ming Army, Zhuge Zhengyang, the first town commander of the Ming Army, happened to board the dock of Sanjiangkou Town at this time, so he immediately took over the command.
Although he didn't have many troops at hand, he had twelve small-caliber mortars that could fire hammers.
So Zhuge Zhengyang asked the artillery to fire smoke-charged flower hammers at the Qing army across the burning town. Then he sent death squads carrying hand grenades, and under the cover of fire and smoke, they sneaked in front of the Qing army and launched a wave of
The grenade-hammer attack made several generals of the Geng family army feel ashamed, so they had to retreat to the Wuyang River to reorganize their troops.
The fighting here in Sanjiangkou Town has temporarily come to an end, but the fierce fighting in the north of Sanjiangkou Town has become more and more intense due to the arrival of reinforcements from both sides.
The Qing army came here with 5,000 Eight Banners infantrymen and ten cannons!
On the Ming army's side, two battalions of infantry and an artillery team equipped with small-caliber mortars came. In order to block the reinforcements, Fuquan recruited two thousand Eight Banners infantry who had just arrived to fight with the Ming army, and
He also personally took the yellow mandarin jackets to suppress the formation - once these yellow mandarin jackets were "pressed", not only the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army were at risk, they withstood the firepower of the Ming army's flower hammers and turtle-dove foot guns, and they also kept firing with shotguns
.Even the two infantry battalions of the Ming army had no choice but to set up a large hollow square formation to "accompany" the Qing army in the fight.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After a while, the Qing army's ten cannons were deployed and began to use small-caliber solid bullets to bombard the hollow square formation composed of two Ming army infantry battalions.
Already......
At this time, Zhu Heze quietly slipped behind Shu Shu, who was pressing down on Liu Jinzhong and Ling Zongjun's phalanx and attacking fiercely.
Shu Shu and his men were responsible for attacking the right wing of the Ming army's formation. He happened to have Fu Quan's yellow mandarin jacket and two thousand eight banner infantry armor at his back, so he never expected that an enemy would get behind him... and
He also sent dozens of sentry cavalry to watch the back and left side. But he never expected that his sentry cavalry would encounter the Chaozhou Grenadier Cavalry and be killed and dispersed without even being able to fight back.
After Zhu Heji dispersed a group of Eight Banners sentries, he immediately led the team to rush because he was worried that the latter would go back to report the news. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the back of Shu Shu's troops. He did not attack directly, but stayed close to them.
Shu Shu's Eight Banners soldiers ran parallel to each other from behind. While galloping, they threw grenades and hammers at the Eight Banners soldiers' buttocks.
Now Shu Shu's Eight Banners soldiers were in dire straits, their butts were blown up with grenades!
How painful this is! How can you bear it?
Moreover, they have been fighting hard with the Ming army in front for more than half an hour!
A group of "Eight Banners soldiers who clocked in to work within the Second Ring Road" could persist until now and still killed and injured so many people. They were already on the verge of collapse. If they were to "explode their butts" again, they would collapse immediately.
And these "check-in Eight Banners soldiers" didn't know what they were thinking. They collapsed and were still thinking about the emperor. So they didn't run to the north where the Eight Banners infantry were preparing to join the battle with the cavalry to attack the Ming army's formation.
He was running towards the yellow mantle, shouting as he ran: "Your Majesty, help me..."
At this time, Zhu Heji had just completed a round of grenade hammer attacks and had already turned a corner. When he was about to consider whether to blow up a group of Eight Banners infantry who seemed to be in a daze, he suddenly heard the Eight Banners who had just been bombed.
The soldiers ran away crying.
These Eight Banners soldiers called "Emperor" in Manchurian. Zhu Heji couldn't understand it, but he still followed the direction in which these people fled and found a group of yellow mandarins and Emperor Kangxi's yellow dragon flag!
