Although the most elite heavy cavalry of the Qing Dynasty were killed by shotguns as soon as the war began, their deaths fought for an important 100 meters for the Qing army behind them.

The Qing army used the East Asian compound bow. The straight range of this bow and arrow was only fifty steps, which was less than forty meters, while the curved shot was 300 steps, which was exactly 240 meters. The death of the heavy cavalry caused the Qing army to rush into 200 meters and had already entered the effective range of the bow and arrow.

He Luo, who was in the middle of the stormtrooper, saw the opportunity coming and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

The Mongolian horse's charge speed is six meters per second, and now it is more than 200 meters away from the Ming army, which means more than 40 seconds to collide, and can shoot three arrows. He Luo will be full of confidence. As long as the enemy is caught, it will collapse. At that time, he can pursue the team with leisurely tail as before.

He Luo would do a good job of the abacus, but the Ming army's abacus was not something he could fight. As early as the Qing cavalry was still a mile away, all the Ming army changed their formation under the command of Ma Kun. The two battalions were in a group, forming more than a dozen hollow square formations, waiting for the Qing army's attack.

Under the command of company commander Zhang Fei, Zhu Hai began to shoot the Qing cavalry that entered the range.

The effective shooting distance of the smoothbore gun is 300 meters, which means that it has lethality at 300 meters away, but the accuracy cannot be mentioned. A British general once said that if you expect the musketeers to hit a target a hundred meters away, it would be more appropriate to aim at the moon, because the hit rates of the two are the same. Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it also shows that the accuracy of the smoothbore gun is a problem.

However, this is all due to the fact that a single soldier opens fire. If hundreds of soldiers on the battlefield fire together, the lead bullet will form a wall of bullets in front of the enemy, and the chance of hitting will increase greatly. If the enemy is also in a dense formation, there will be basically no standing people on the opposite side of those shootings.

The veterans of Guangdong's new army can fire five shots in one minute and divided into three rows, which can form an uninterrupted firewall. However, the new recruits are not as fast as the veterans. In order to maintain the fire density, Makun had to ship out a large queue of five rows. If it really doesn't work, each regiment will have eight multi-tube artifacts such as "typewriters" to help.

Originally, Ma Kun thought it was foolproof, but he forgot to consider the psychological quality of the new recruits and the fighting will of the Qing army opposite. The current Qing army is not the Qing army in the later Eight-Nation Alliance period. It was defeated if there were two percent of the casualties at Baliqiao. The Qing army in this era was still the strongest force in East Asia, and its fighting will was much stronger than the Han army flags and Mongols that Ma Kun had encountered before.

The third regiment was still quite shooting in the first two rounds. In the third round, the Qing army's curved bow and arrow arrived. Fortunately, it was a hollow square formation, and less than a hundred people were shot. However, the screams of the hundred people falling to the ground affected the others. In addition, the Qing army's shocking horse hooves rushed over on the opposite side, the psychological pressure was too great, and some people began to throw their muskets and escape.

Escape on the battlefield will be contagious, and if one runs, there will be a second one. For a time, most of the three regiments of 3,500 people escaped.

The third regiment commander in the back team was shocked when he saw the soldiers in front of him, and quickly called his personal soldiers and shouted, "Where is the typewriter? Push the typewriter to the gap!" When more than 20 people pushed the eight typewriters into the gap, he found that all the typewriters were not loaded with bullet boxes. It would be better to use fire sticks without bullets. The third regiment commander saw that he could not catch a rifle, put them on a bayonet and shouted, "Damn it, come with me and fight with the Tartars!"

The new army was well-educated and had a good physical fitness, and its physical strength was far stronger than the Qing army, but an army without fighting will never be able to avoid failure no matter how strong it is.

Ma Rufeng, deputy commander of the Fourth Division, who was standing on the mound, was anxious when he saw the Qing army dispersing the third regiment, but Ma Kun and Zhang Jiayu were still holding their heads and crying. Ma Rufeng stepped forward and kicked the two away, cursing: "Ma Kun, don't cry, get up and see what to do? The third regiment was dispersed by the Qing army!"

Hearing the urgent military situation, Ma Kun stood up, wiped his tears and cursed: "Anyway, I'm dead, but I can't let these Tartars laugh! Order the first and second regiments surrounded them, the speed of the Tartar cavalry has slowed down. Use the opportunity of the Third regiment to entangle them!"

At this time, Duoduo, the Qing army's rear team, also saw the opportunity. While He Luo would rush into the Ming army's position, he ordered the remaining 10,000 white flag cavalry and 5,000 Han flag infantry to join the melee. When Ma Kun saw Duoduo pressing all the troops, he quickly ordered the whole group to form a small hollow square formation in battalions to fight with the Qing army.

Duoduo's orders completely destroyed the lives of more than 100,000 Qing troops, and the Battle of Nanchang ended with the complete failure of the Qing Dynasty. Duoduo was still looking at the Guangdong New Army from the old view of the Ming army, believing that as long as they were dispersed, they could slowly kill them like driving cattle and horses. But Duoduo was wrong. The Guangdong New Army was no longer the kind of army that was fighting desperately with only one blood, but after Zhu Hongsan's training, he became a complete grassroots officer, with good training, a complete logistics supply system, and a complete quasi-modern army that was constrained by military law and discipline. The literacy rate of this army was more than half. Not to mention in the late Ming Dynasty, even more than half of the literacy during the Republic of China period was an astonishing number. They knew why they fought and knew what punishment they would be after their failure.

On the other hand, although the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were brave, they were all illiterate. For them, fighting was to grab things, and they ran away if they couldn't. Therefore, as the two armies fought together, the Qing army's cavalry's impact advantage was completely lost, and the Guangdong New Army gradually gained the upper hand with its advantages such as physical strength, endurance, and weapons.

By noon, the Qing army had already suffered half of the casualties, and all the soldiers were hungry. Some soldiers began to sneak away while Niu Lu and Zuoleng were not paying attention.

At this time, the difference between the ancient and modern armies appeared. The Ming army was rushed into the camp by the Qing army just now. It was very chaotic at the beginning, but because of its good organizational system, it could slowly organize counterattacks under the command of officers at all levels. However, the Qing army was different. At the beginning, it was a small retreat, but it caused a large-scale defeat. When the Qing army and the Ming army separated, the artillery regiments entered the battle again, a large number of shotguns and solid bombs accelerated the Qing army's collapse.

Ma Kun was so crying when he saw a perfect decisive battle that he was beaten like this. Alas! Anyway, I have already said this later. The main task now is to eliminate the Qing army in the besieged city of Nanchang City. After the decision, Ma Kun ordered the first and second regiments to separate, each regiment led two new regiments to head to the north and south of the city to attack the Qing army camp, and led a regiment to clean up the mess outside Yonghe Gate, mainly because he wanted to find the prince Zhu Hai.

This kind of war outside Yonghe Gate became the focus of attention of all parties. The retreat of the Qing army made the other Qing troops shudder. Duoduo personally defeated us. In addition, the retreating Qing army exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, such as spitting yellow smoke, sacrificing magic weapons to take lives, etc., so scared that before the Ming army attacked the gate, some camps of Qing troops had already begun to escape. As the same goes, the blind obedience of the illiterate soldiers in ancient army was very terrible. Escape slowly triggered a great escape, and countless people fell into the Ganjiang River and drowned. At this time, the Ming army's marching team was five miles away from them.

Jiang Yueguang, Jin Shenghuan and others who were watching the battle on the top of Nanchang City saw it ups and downs. When the first group of Qing troops were killed, they all shouted. However, the Qing army rushed into the Ming army's position and made Jiang Yueguang and others feel like they were lost. Judging from their experience, the battle was over. However, unexpectedly, the wonderful thing was behind. The Guangdong Ming army was worthy of being a powerful brigade. It actually withstood the Qing army's attack and defeated Duoduo. In the end, less than 10,000 people fled back to the camp. The defeat of the Qing army became a chain reaction. The Qing army camp outside the city was in chaos, and fires rose in the camp, trampling on each other to death.

Jiang Yueguang saw that the Qing army was in chaos, which was a good opportunity to fight back.

"Two princes, the end of the Qing army is approaching now. Should we go out and help friendly forces?"

Everyone likes to do this kind of thing about beating the dogs. King Deren of Jinshenghuan immediately ordered 20,000 elite troops and opened the Yonghe Gate to fight out of the city. If a sober person in the Qing army organized an army to counterattack, the Ming army that had left the city could be eliminated according to the combat effectiveness of the Qing army. It is possible that they would directly occupy Nanchang. However, the Qing army was already in a desperate situation. To borrow a sentence from later movies, "The people's hearts are dispersed, and the team is not easy to lead!"

When the guards of other gates saw that there were cheap things to fight, they opened the city gate and brought the army out to get the bargain. Even the more than 100,000 strong Han men arrested in the Qing camp saw that the Qing army was defeated like a mountain, they also played the advantage of the Han people beating the dogs in the water, and used various tools in their hands to attack the single Qing army. For a time, the city and outside the city were in chaos.

Duoduo was unconscious after returning to the camp. As the deputy, Tan Tai saw that he was unaware of the situation, so he had no choice but to order his troops to retreat. The entire army retreated to Jianchang County, fifty miles away from Nanchang to repair it.

But Tan Tai thought it was very good. Jianchang County was on the west bank of Ganjiang River, and Nanchang was on the east bank of Ganjiang River. If you want to cross the Ganjiang River, you would have a navy. When you came, you would have hundreds of ships from the governor of Henan Ma Guozhu to transport it. However, just when the battle outside Yonghe Gate was just now, the navy led by Ma Guozhu met with five small boats from the Daming Inland River Squadron at Shuiguan outside Zhangjiang Gate in Nanchang.
