Although there was smoke in front of them, the Qing army at this time could clearly see the flash of fire from the musket fire.

In the two minutes that the bandit army had fired, the Qing army had already pulled the distance to about 40 zhang in a hurry. But there is still a distance of more than 100 zhang ahead.

The "anti-thief" is just around the corner, but today's Qing army no longer has the pride it had at the beginning.

Look at the dead bodies all over the ground, the wounded wailing everywhere. None of the Qing troops were willing to go any further, and the distance of only 40 zhang had already caused the attacking Qing troops to lay down more than 1,000 casualties or nearly 2,000 casualties.

What kind of bottomless pit will be the distance of more than 100 zhang ahead? Let them not dare to think about it anymore.

Ancient armies generally suffered more than one or two percent casualties to the verge of retreat, and to thirty percent there were hardly a few armies that did not retreat.

If it had been fighting with knives and guns, the Qing army would not have been so afraid, but now even the "anti-thief" people have not seen it clearly, and more than 30% of the attackers have been killed and injured in such an instant. How can you keep the Qing army from being outrageous.

All in all, after the third minute. The Qing army, which attacked the bandit army, still ushered in the eighth platoon of guns while wandering.

Listening to the sound of gunshots, Wu Sanshui, who had not yet reacted to the battle, did not think of Mingjin's withdrawal of troops.

At this time, the drum beat is still so rhythmically loud.

The distance of forty zhang was enough for the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army phalanx who were attacking the bandit army to see the situation of the people lying on the ground.

Tragic!!!

Wailing

Cries for help continued

After the eighth platoon of guns of the bandit army, the Qing soldiers who walked in front could no longer stand it. It seems that standing in the smoke of gunpowder is not an "anti-thief", but a man-eating demon.

"Ahh

A soldier of the Green Battalion with the gun in his hand shouted and threw down his man's gun, and fled backwards without hesitating anything.

At this time, the other Green Battalion soldiers beside him also ran away.

Walking all the way, I looked at the green battalion soldiers who were injured and mourning all over the ground. No one wants to stay in this place of death.

Rout

If there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three. Especially at this time, when everyone wants to escape, no one has the heart to stop them.

At this moment, the Qing soldiers who were fighting against the green battalion soldiers who surrendered to Zhang Rui were secretly glad to see such a tragic situation next to them, but fortunately they had just been assigned there.

Looking at the rout of the people in front of them, the overseers behind were all confused at this time. They knew what was going on, but they had to fight when the drums were beating.

However, now that everyone has retreated, how dare they stop it? Even Deng Jili and Qian Xijin just looked black and didn't dare to say anything.

"Where are the anti-thieves in front, they are clearly demons." Qian Xijin said with a little trembling

"It definitely has something to do with demons, where is it possible to fight such a distant bird in this world. Hurry up and flee back, and ask the mage of Yongfu Temple to come and collect the demons. Evil is not something we can deal with. Deng Jili was also scared, and then Qian Xijin said

"Yes, yes. General Deng is right. Let's hurry back and tell the adults. Qian Xijin seemed to have discovered the terrible anti-thief information, and ignored the sound of drumming, and hurriedly turned the horse's head and ran back

Seeing this, Deng Jili also followed Qian Xijin's appearance, and ran away after hitting the horse.

Things were beyond their understanding, and they couldn't find any reason to comfort themselves except for this feudal superstitious idea.

The two generals also followed them and left with their horses. Seeing this, the people of the overseer team talked about military law, so they also ran back.

With the officers above taking the lead, the Qing soldiers who had no intention of attacking the bandit army again all ran back.

At this moment, I saw the rout of the large phalanx on the opposite side. The Qing soldiers who were fighting against Zhang Rui's green battalion were fighting with the weapons in their hands. They all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The majority of the army has already retreated, and although the formation of his own small phalanx is still there, the situation is so obvious. If the small phalanx he is in continues to stay, he is looking for death.

After the ninth platoon of guns of the bandit army, the bandit army officially sounded the sound of drumming, and at the same time, the rapid suona sound of the charge sounded.

In the suona sound of the bandit army, Wu Sanshui, who reacted, finally made people mingle. But everything happened too quickly than he expected, and when Deng Jili and Qian Xijin arrived at him, he was still confused.

"My lord, run away! The thief on the other side asked the demon for help. We have to get out of here, or we'll never be able to survive if we're caught. Qian Xijin dismounted in front of Wu Sanshui and knelt down on one knee and said

"What did you say?" Wu Sanshui, who had not yet come back to his senses, heard Qian Xijin's words, as if he had found something, and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, sir. General Qian is right, the anti-thief on the other side must have the help of demons. Those demons had cast a spell on their shotguns, otherwise how could they have hit so far. We have to go back quickly and ask the mages of Eifuji Temple to come and collect those demons. Deng Jili also knelt down like Qian Xijin and said

After listening to Deng Jili's words, Wu Sanshui finally understood what he wanted to understand. I saw Wu Sanshui suddenly recite like a big realization: "Yes, that's it." It must be so. It's better not to be like this..."

Wu Sanshui, who finally came back to his senses, said to Deng Jili and Qian Xijin, who were still kneeling on the ground: "Let's go, let's go back to Qingyuan City and invite Master Yongfu Temple." If you don't accept those demons around the thief, how can we ordinary people be their opponents? ”

"Yes, my lord is right."

Deng Jili and Qian Xijin echoed one after another

Then several of them climbed on their horses one after another, and no longer looked at the Qing soldiers on the battlefield, but left without looking back.

At this moment, the army of Zhang Ruilu's battalion, who heard the sound of suona, was officially mobilizing and shouting: "Brothers, start catching prisoners." Don't let the opposite brother look down on us. Tell them that we're not here to do things, not to play. ”

"Yes."

The green battalion soldiers who heard the words raised their weapons one after another and responded loudly. There is nothing easier than a battle like this, and you don't have to rush to the front to catch a prisoner.

These green battalion soldiers saw that the less than 3,000 bandit soldiers on the opposite side rushed over with muskets and spears in their hands, and even the cavalry was let out by Zhang Rui to chase and kill the prisoners.

After hearing the sound of gold, the Qing soldiers who had fought against the green battalion soldiers who surrendered to Zhang Rui also retreated. As a result, some people are in a hurry all of a sudden, and if they don't control the rhythm, they will become a rout.

"Descend to avoid death, and those who continue to flee will not be killed..."

At this moment, the sound of the bandit army coming from the battlefield was heard.

The input of the 200 cavalry of the bandit army put a lot of pressure on the fleeing Qing infantry.

Suddenly, one of them remembered that there were also surrendered Green Battalion soldiers on the other side. Everyone is the same, there is no reason why they can't surrender if they can?

"I surrendered..."

A green battalion soldier shook off the weapon in his hand, quickly knelt on the ground and raised his hands in surrender.
