The People's Army retreated, the Ming Army advanced, and half an hour passed after a retreat and an advance, and the four divisions of the People's Army, which were divided into east and west roads, were about to go around to the flank of the Ming Army, but as the People's Army of these two roads got closer and closer to the Ming Army, the probability of being discovered by the Ming Army became greater and greater.

"Report, general, the left flank has found enemy troops, about 10,000 or so."

Before Li Rusong could give an order, another spy came to report.

"Report, general, the right flank has found the enemy, with more than 10,000 troops."

Two groups of more than 10,000 KPA troops attacked from the left and right, Li Rusong saw that this was a ploy by the KPA to disperse his own forces, but he did not feel much danger, adding up to more than 20,000 people, and the front army led by himself was as many as 150,000 horses, and there was no problem in dividing 50,000 horses to block the enemy.

What's more, the Chinese army behind the front army is very close, and once a battle breaks out, the Chinese army can quickly converge with the front army.

Thinking of this, Li Rusong immediately ordered: "General Zeng, General Pan." ”

"The end will be." Two generals, Zeng and Pan, came out of the ranks.

"Order each of you to lead 20,000 horses to repel the enemy forces on the left and right flanks."

"The last general commands!" *2

Not long after, the front army of the Ming army led by Li Rusong divided 40,000 horses, one east and one west, to meet the rushing people's army.

These 40,000 Ming troops are not comparable to the 20,000 recruits sent by Li Chengliang yesterday; there are at least two battalions of the 40,000 Ming troops sent by Li Rusong, with a total of 6,000 elite troops, and the proportion of new recruits in the 40,000 Ming army is about one-tenth, and it is also equipped with a large number of firearms.

It's just that there were no grenadiers in the two Ming armies, and they didn't carry chariots, and the chariots were at the forefront of the front army, and it was very difficult to move.

Li Rusong thought that even if the 40,000 horses he sent could not completely annihilate the incoming People's Army, there would be little problem in repelling it, and when the two Ming armies attacked, Li Rusong continued to lead the large army to pursue the main force of the People's Army that was constantly retreating in front.

On the western battlefield, the 20,000 Ming Army led by General Pan was less than a mile away from the Fifth and Seventh Divisions of the People's Army, and both sides began to prepare for battle.

"20,000 people, Brother Fu, guess that a few rounds of fire from our musketeers can crush the enemy in front of you." Shao Feng, the commander of the Fifth Division, said with a smile to Fu Yutang, the commander of the Seventh Division.

Fu Yutang thought for a while and guessed: "Ten rounds at most." ”

"I don't think it's ten rounds, six rounds are enough."

Shao Feng was very confident in his own strength, two divisions, each division had a musket regiment, and a musket regiment was equipped with more than 1,100 muskets and more than 50 light artillery, just muskets, the two divisions together amounted to more than 2,200 muskets, and each round had more than 700 muskets fired.

Six rounds of firing, each musket had to be fired twice, and with a little luck, the number of Ming troops killed would exceed 3,500 people, which was enough to break the front of the Ming army, and then crush the entire Ming army.

While Shao Feng and Fu Yutang were talking, the distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, and soon the distance narrowed to three hundred meters.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The war drums of the People's Army sounded, and when the war drums were heard, the commanders of the musket regiments, which were in the forefront of the People's Army, gave combat orders one after another.

"First column, fire!"

The next moment, accompanied by fire and black smoke, more than 700 lead bullets attacked the Ming troops who rushed over, and after the fire was completed, the first column of KPA fighters immediately loaded their ammunition on the spot, and the second column of fighters behind them quickly passed through the gap between the first column of fighters and walked forward, ready to shoot a second time.

When the second column of soldiers had just moved, more than 700 lead bullets had been fired into the Ming army's array, and in an instant, more than 600 Ming soldiers were shot and fell on the battlefield.

The Ming army in front of the front fell, and before the Ming army behind was afraid, they continued to rush the people's army, but in just a few seconds, more than 700 lead bullets attacked, and more than 600 Ming troops fell on the battlefield.

The first salvo did not frighten the Ming army, the second volley frightened a small part of the Ming army, and when the third salvo of the People's Army musketeers ended, the number of frightened Ming troops increased rapidly.

It's too terrifying, before the People's Army is approached, a row of Ming soldiers and soldiers fell on the battlefield, life and death are unknown, Ming soldiers and soldiers know that they may die on the battlefield, but they die like this, and anyone will be afraid.

Some Ming soldiers ran behind them in fear, and some Ming soldiers lay on the ground, but the shooting of the People's Army musketeers did not stop, and each round of fire was able to kill and injure more than 500 Ming soldiers.

"Don't run, rush, rush forward for me, violators die!"

Burst!

Seeing the Ariake sergeant turn around and flee, even if an officer drew a goose feather knife and cut down the fleeing sergeant.

The officers and generals of the personal guards opened fire on the deserters, so that the other Ming soldiers gave up running away for the time being, suppressed the fear in their hearts a little, and continued to rush towards the People's Army.

But the People's Army would not show mercy to these Ming soldiers who were already about to be frightened, and wave after wave of lead bullets attacked, and rows of Ming soldiers fell on the way to charge.

"The enemy's firearms are sharp, invincible, run!"

"The enemy is too strong, and if we rush forward, we will be killed."

Seeing so many colleagues in front of them falling on the battlefield, they were about to face the sharpness of lead bullets, and under the fear of death, they ran frantically behind them, and the front army of the Ming army finally collapsed.

The front army collapsed, and the collapse quickly spread to the entire Ming army, seeing that the Ming army led by himself was becoming chaotic, General Pan was stunned, with 20,000 horses under his command, there were less than 4,000 dead and wounded, how could it collapse so quickly.

Under the six rounds of fire from the musketeers of the Fifth and Seventh Divisions of the People's Army, the Ming army, which barely had as many as 20,000 troops, had collapsed, and seeing this scene, Shao Feng and Fu Yutang felt very normal.

Before the two sides started a close battle, the Ming army died more than 4,000 people on the way to charge, which dealt a huge blow to other Ming troops.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The rhythm of the KPA's war drums changed, and without waiting for the other troops, the musketeers rushed towards the defeated Ming army in front.

In a short period of time, the battlefield offensive and defensive reversal of the 20,000 Ming army and the 12,000 people's army was suitable for the commander of the Ming army, General Pan, to come back to his senses.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

General Pan shouted while riding a horse and fleeing behind him under the escort of his personal guards, the battle can be lost, he General Pan can't die, what died is just a group of soldiers, and the lives of the soldiers are not as valuable as General Pan.

"General Pan ran away! General Pan left us and fled! ”

When some agents saw General Pan fleeing, they immediately shouted in the crowd, and when they learned that the commander had fled, the morale of the Ming army was completely lost, and many Ming soldiers and soldiers put down their weapons and squatted on the ground under the leadership of the agents, waiting to surrender to the People's Army.
