I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 186 Vulnerable Nanchang
Chen Shu, commander-in-chief of Nanchang garrison camp, and commander-in-chief Zhai Bin led the headquarters' thousand garrison battalions, plus [-] training troops, and rushed to Nanchang Pier.

They did not encounter the defeated troops of the Nanchang Naval Battalion. .

By this time, more than 2000 Ming troops had landed at the dock.

Seeing tens of thousands of Qing troops attacking, the two thousand Ming troops did not panic at all.

"Array, meet the enemy!"

Yang Gong also sat in a rowing boat and visited the dock line in person.

One command.

Several flag-telling soldiers who accompanied the crossing quickly communicated the order to the entire army.

In fact, there was no need for flag soldiers to convey orders. The more than 2000 Ming troops relied solely on their own command system of grassroots battalion officers and team officers to quickly complete the basic formation in coordination with each other.

There is almost no difference from the previous hundred-man formation. The spears are neatly arrayed in front of the formation, and the sword and shield soldiers belong to the two wings.

There were several rows of sword and shield soldiers in the rear ranks of the pikemen, interspersed layer by layer. Inside were two hundred well-protected gunmen, plus fifty grenadiers. The archer battalion was still on the warship and had not yet landed.

Chen Shu saw the pseudo-Ming thieves quickly forming an array on the pier. Such a neat and uniform formation made him feel frightened even if he looked at it from a distance.

Fortunately, the number of these pseudo-Ming thieves is not large. At a glance, they are not much different from the headquarters garrison under his command.

The total strength of our own side is as high as [-], which is close to a strength gap of six to seven times. Even if it is a siege, it should be a sure thing.

Chen Shu was immediately convinced. Rationally, he was originally unwilling to lead his army into battle, but he was the only senior military attache with the highest rank in Nanchang City. He couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.

The defense does not count, they are civilian officials in charge of logistics.

But fortunately, there are only a thousand people of the puppet Ming thieves who landed, and my own army of ten thousand can crush them. No matter what, they won't be defeated, right?

Ten thousand versus two thousand, a strength difference of nearly six times.

The advantage is mine!
Chen Shu also knew that he was the leading general who had been temporarily captured by Wang Qicheng. He could not fully control the army, so he simply stopped sticking to the details of the command and directly pulled out his sword and ordered the entire army to charge.

The Nanchang garrison with [-] drill troops and [-] men did not pay attention to any tactical formations. They all rushed forward in a swarm.

In Chen Shu's opinion, since unified command cannot be achieved, then the whole army can simply rush forward.

More than 1 people are charging, and there are [-] Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers on the opposite side. They have to be overwhelmed, right?

After all, the Eight Banners heavenly soldiers are "invincible", but they are not even full of ten thousand!
Speaking of which, there seems to be a rumor that this false traitor is "invincible".

Just a joke!
However, even if it were true, he had over [-] troops and these rebels were only worth [-]. How could he be "invincible" to them?
More than 1 Qing troops launched a charge, but only halfway through the charge, their formation was completely out of shape.

There are those who run fast and those who run slow.

A few months ago, the total actual troops of the Qing army in the north and south of Jiangxi was less than [-].

Today, the Qing army in northern Jiangxi alone has exceeded [-], more than doubled.

What level of training can there be?

Chen Shu had no intention of reorganizing his army, and completely allowed the army to charge in a chaotic manner, as if he wanted to crush the Ming army to death by relying solely on his superior strength.

Soon, the two armies were approaching.

The musketry team belonging to the Nanchang garrison opened fire from a distance, and the archers also fired forward one after another.

Naturally, the shot missed because the distance was not enough.

Yang Gong, the Qing army who rushed in from both wings, ignored it at all and allowed the sword and shield soldiers on both wings to deal with it on their own. The Qing army seemed to have a large number of people, but in fact, the formation was scattered and the team was seriously out of touch.

On the contrary, the Ming army was sparse in strength but well prepared.

As the Qing army from the front approached quickly, one hundred steps, ninety steps, eighty steps... reached a distance of forty steps.

"Light a fire and fire a gun!"

boom!
boom!
boom!
With a volley of fire, the Qing soldiers charging in the front row were instantly knocked over and fell to the ground.

The second round of volley fired, and another piece fell.

The third round...

Originally, the formation of these Qing soldiers was already very chaotic when they charged, and the frontal troops were even seriously disconnected from the flank troops. Now they were fired by two hundred Ming army artillery soldiers in three sections.

The forward troops of the Qing army were stunned on the spot.

This was not over yet, the 50 Ming grenadiers behind them immediately stepped forward.

Light the fire, start, throw!
Done in one go.Fifty grenade hammers drew a beautiful parabola in the air and fell into the Qing army's array.

The Qing army, which had just been killed by three sections of Ming army artillery fire and killed several rows of Qing soldiers, was at a loss when they saw dozens of black unknown objects falling into the pile of their own soldiers.

Some of them even hit people on the head. Even if the iron grenade hammer was not solid inside, it would cause severe head injuries.

But that’s okay, because this thing explodes when it hits the ground.

"Boom boom boom!"

Fifty grenade hammers detonated almost at the same time. Under the violent explosion, a large number of Qing soldiers rushing at the front were instantly swallowed up. Only the Qing soldiers on the two wings escaped.

These Qing troops were originally trained soldiers recruited from the countryside in Nanchang. Due to money, food and time issues, many of the soldiers were not only on the battlefield for the first time, but had never even seen a firecracker.

Not to mention the grenade hammer that has been widely rumored as a witchcraft by the Qing army.

Coupled with this power, it is almost comparable to a heavy cannon.

All the Qing soldiers who saw the power of the Ming army's grenade hammer explosion collapsed instantly, crying and running back, and the friendly troops in the rear were overwhelmed on the spot. Only the sound was heard, and the Ming army was not even seen. The friendly troops did not know what was going on.

"Give it to me!"

"Kill the dog!"

"Da da da da da..."

Yang Gong led his two thousand Ming troops to actually launch a counterattack from three directions towards the ten thousand Qing troops on the opposite side.

Two thousand versus ten thousand.

Only Yang Gong dared to do this.

The Qing troops on both wings had already rushed to the Ming army's formation and were fighting with the Ming army's sword and shield soldiers.

Suddenly, a violent explosion was heard, and then the main force of the Ming army suddenly launched a charge.

Looking at the friendly forces, they unexpectedly collapsed at some point.

In an instant, the Qing army was defeated!

The Qing army seems to have more than 1 troops, but in fact, it only counts a thousand Nanchang garrison as a regular army.

The remaining [-] soldiers were severely under-trained rural warriors. They did not even have enough armor, and the remaining [-] soldiers were sent to the front lines of Raozhou and Guangxin. The combat power and morale of these [-] soldiers were not even as good as those of the Nanchang garrison. camp.

Although the Ming Army only has two thousand soldiers, they are all elite veterans of the First Army, with high morale and fearlessness of death.

In terms of local superiority, the Ming army was even twice as large as the Qing army.

In addition, the command system of the Qing army also had serious problems. As the commander-in-chief of the army, Chen Shu was just rushing to the front. The deputy general Zhai Bin came to the front line in person, but he only took care of his subordinates and did not even care about Chen Shu, his boss's main force.

It can be said that the friendly troops are in trouble and are as motionless as a mountain.

If you can still win the battle like this, then that’s bad!

When Chen Shu, the "chief general" of the army at the rear, saw the overwhelming defeat, he was instantly frightened out of his wits and decisively fled with his soldiers on horseback.

Not to mention the training of [-] troops, they did not even take care of the soldiers and horses of the direct line garrison.

The main general is gone, and the deputy general is almost gone. Naturally, there is no suspense about the situation on the battlefield.

Yang Gong only led the army to charge and shouted: "Those who kneel down and surrender will avoid death!"

But an hour.

The war is over.

The Ming army only had two wings in hand-to-hand combat, and five people were killed, eight were seriously injured, and the rest were lightly injured. However, the frontal troops suffered no casualties at all.

The number of prisoners gathered by the Qing army numbered tens of thousands.

All members of the Nanchang garrison were left behind. Even the "deputy general" of the army and the commander-in-chief of the Nanchang garrison, Zhai Bin, laid down their weapons and surrendered to survive.

This battle was surprisingly easy.

The weak defense of Nanchang City was clearly demonstrated.

This Nanchang is too easy to fight?
　Today is seventy-seven...
