Defeated? How could it be defeated? How could it be defeated so quickly? ”

Knowing that both General Pan and General Zeng were defeated by the People's Army, Li Rusong's face was full of consternation, the enemy was only more than 10,000 people all the way, General Pan and General Zeng were 20,000 each, and the recruits were only about one-tenth, even if they could not defeat the People's Army, how could they be defeated by the People's Army with fewer people so quickly, this is incredible.

What's even more amazing is that General Pan escaped, and General Zeng was killed by "his own people".

Li Rusong's consternation did not last long, and he immediately ordered the front army to stop advancing and mobilize part of the chariots at the front of the array to move to the left and right flanks of the front army to resist the two enemy forces attacking.

However, the front army of the Ming army led by Li Rusong had just stopped, and the main force of the People's Army, which had been retreating, quickly turned from retreat to advance, quickly closing the distance with the front army of the Ming army.

Wang Shengrong even ordered the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Divisions to once again lay down their heavy artillery regiments and baggage troops, advance lightly, and support the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Divisions.

As a result, the main force led by Wang Shengrong personally had 14 divisions left, while the front army of the Ming army led by Li Rusong in front only had 110,000 horses left.

The changes in the front army soon spread to the Chinese army, and when he learned of the changes in the front army, Li Chengliang was also a little incredulous, and the combat effectiveness of the people's army was beyond Li Chengliang's imagination.

20,000 Ming troops and more than 10,000 people's troops fought, although the combat effectiveness of the Ming army participating in the battle was average, but these two Ming armies were almost at the touch of a button, and the close battle between the near people's army and the people's army was not done, and the power of the people's army's firearms made Li Chengliang frown deeply.

Li Chengliang had not led the army to fight with the People's Army before, but Song Yingchang and Mei Yousong had led the Ming Army to fight with the People's Army, and they both had experience in fighting with the People's Army, and they also deeply realized the sharpness of the People's Army's firearms.

Li Chengliang has not personally seen the sharpness of the people's army's firearms, but only feels the power of the people's army's firearms through words or the words of the parties.

"Command the front army, hold on and wait for help!"

Li Chengliang's military order was quickly sent to the front army, Li Rusong and his father thought, so quickly defeated by the People's Army 40,000 horses, Li Rusong did not want to do other moves, worried that there would be a bigger change, and it became the best choice to stay in place and wait for the Chinese army to converge.

Time passed quickly, and before the Ming army's central army and the front army converged, the east and west people's armies pursued and routed the fleeing Ming army, and they had already chased them to the two wings of the Ming army's front army.

Seeing the chariots in front of the two flanks of the Ming army, the four division commanders of the two people's armies all made the same decision, abandoning the attack and heading north, attacking the Ming army without chariots.

It was only an attack, the strength of the Ming army was as high as 200,000, although there were no chariots, but most of the elite troops in Li Chengliang's army were in the Chinese army, and the people's army of only more than 20,000 could not be the opponent of the Ming army.

Not long after the eastern and western people's armies advanced northward, the main force led by Wang Shengrong was less than a kilometer away from the Ming army's front army, and all the heavy artillery regiments built artillery positions one after another, firing at the Ming army's front army, and the other troops continued to advance, preparing to shoot the Ming army through the gap between the chariots.

Originally, with the number of tanks of the Ming army, they could well shield the muskets of the People's Army on the frontal battlefield, but now Li Rusong has transferred some of the tanks to the left and right wings, which greatly increases the gap between the tanks on the frontal battlefield, and gives the People's Army a chance to shoot with firearms.

Fourteen divisions, fourteen musket regiments, more than 15,000 muskets, when thousands of muskets alternately fired at the Ming army, more than 5,000 Ming troops fell on the battlefield in just one minute.

However, as the number of casualties in the Ming army increased, the rate of casualties was decreasing, and the dead Ming troops were mainly uncovered by chariots.

Li Rusong did not dare to transfer the chariots on the flanks to the frontal battlefield, and the left and right KPA armies advanced towards the north, and it was not long before two more KPA armies passed by and advanced towards the north.

Watching the four people's armies advance north, Li Rusong had a bad feeling in his heart, the Chinese army did not have a chariot to resist the muskets of the people's army, but the Chinese army was the strongest, and it should be able to defeat the four people's armies.

Li Rusong was a little unconfident, it was really the sharpness of the people's army's firearms that made Li Rusong unforgettable in this life, and after thinking for a while, Li Rusong finally made a decision.

"The rear team turned to the front team, withdrew the troops, and joined the Chinese army."

Soon, under Li Rusong's orders, the front army of the Ming army slowly retreated north.

Seeing the retreat of the Ming army's front army, Wang Shengrong once again separated two troops from the main force led by himself, this time it was no longer four divisions that left behind heavy artillery regiments and baggage troops, only four musket regiments, one for each two musket regiments, one east and one west, to the north to support the people's army in front.

Wang Shengrong led the remaining troops to closely follow the front army of the Ming army, looking for an opportunity to attack, but it was not too close to the front army of the Ming army, this chariot was too limited to the firearms of the people's army, as long as the Ming army had a chariot, the people's army would not be too close to the Ming army troops with chariots.

Just when the front army of the Ming army retreated, the left and right troops of the People's Army met with the Chinese army of the Ming army one after another, and the distance between the People's Army and the Chinese army of the Ming army was 700 meters, and the division commanders ordered the musketeers to shoot at the Ming army, and a round of lead bullets was fired, when hundreds of Ming troops fell on the battlefield.

Seeing that the small army of the People's Army dared to take the initiative to launch an attack on his own side, Li Chengliang was really angry, 20,000 horses was a small number for Li Chengliang's army, and it was definitely a big number for the People's Army, which did not have many troops in itself, and Li Chengliang decided to eat these two people's armies at all costs.

"All the troops are attacking!"

At the next moment, the Chinese army of the Ming army directly divided into two routes and rushed towards the east and west armies of the People's Army.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”

Seeing the movements of the Ming army, the division commanders of the People's Army quickly issued an order to withdraw the troops, the Ming army had too many troops, and once it was entangled by the Ming army, this small army of their own side would definitely be wiped out.

The People's Army retreated, the Ming Army pursued, the People's Army is best at long-distance running, in the face of the pursuing Ming Army, the distance between the two sides has not been much closer, but has a tendency to increase.

Li Chengliang was unwilling to let the two attacking people's armies retreat like this, and the Ming army not only had infantry, artillery, but also cavalry units, and the Chinese army alone had more than 6,000 cavalry.

People are two-legged, no matter how good the People's Army is at long-distance running, it is not as fast as a four-legged horse, Li Chengliang directly sent out the 6,000 cavalry in the Chinese army, and did not think about using cavalry to eat the two people's armies, as long as the cavalry can delay the retreat of the two people's armies and eat the two people's armies for the large army, even if the 6,000 cavalry is completely destroyed for this, Li Chengliang will not hesitate.
