At that time, they also fought with the puppet Tang thief army in this way, and the casualties were indeed not serious at first, and everyone was full of confidence.

But I don't know why there are more and more casualties, especially after the flowering bombs of the pseudo-Tang thief army are thrown out, there are even more casualties, hundreds of people were killed and injured in just a moment, and they will never forget that scene for the rest of their lives.

And today, they are thinking again!

So when they got closer and closer to the puppet Tang thief army, the scene of hell on earth in their minds became clearer and clearer, because they knew that the puppet Tang thief army was waiting for them to rush over and throw flower bombs.

So when they saw a small group of pseudo-Tang thieves on the opposite side take out a black thing, they didn't know who shouted: "It's not good, it's a flowering bomb!" ”

"Run!"

In the next moment, there were dozens of Ming troops at the front who almost didn't think about it at all, and just turned around and ran!

By the time Qiu Yu in the rear reacted and began to try to suppress the troops that had begun to break and flee, he was already powerless!

Because the fleeing Ming army has gone from dozens to hundreds, and this number will spread to the entire army in less than a few minutes!

From the time the charge began within a hundred and fifty meters to the time of the rout, this Ming army probably set a record for the shortest time since the two armies fought, and they were glorious in only one minute, well, less than!

At the same time, it also set a record for the first collapse: they ran out when they were still about a hundred meters away from the puppet Tang thief army!

Of course, they can still proudly say: "The strength of our army has not been damaged in this battle!" ”

Indeed, from the launch of the charge to the rout, the Datang New Army only fired a cannon and fired three rounds of guns, and it was shot at a distance of 100 meters, and its hit rate was quite limited, so the casualties caused to the Ming army were very limited, and there were only thirty or forty people who broke through the sky.

For an army of more than 2,000 people, dozens of dead and wounded people are nothing at all, and it is almost the same as zero losses, so if the Ming army says that its strength is not damaged, even if it is shameless to say that there are zero casualties.

But this scene made Qiu Yu extremely angry!

His army has completely collapsed before it even enters the distance of fierce fighting, this is simply a joke, a big joke, he Qiu Yu has been on the battlefield all his life, among the tens of millions of people, he has been seven in and seven out, and he has killed more than 10,000 enemies, but today, the reputation of this world is about to be defeated by these routs!

At the same time, he was also extremely ashamed, he had an army of two thousand, but this army was frightened and collapsed by the five hundred thief army on the opposite side, and the main general of the pseudo-Tang thief army on the opposite side saw it, and he was afraid that he would laugh at himself to his heart's content.

Shi Ke can not be humiliated, he even wants to draw a knife on the spot to kill himself, emulating the overlord of Chu to say: Die here today, and I will die this day, it is not a crime of war!

As everyone knows, Wang Chaofeng on the other side is more surprised than him!

"That's it?" Wang Chaofeng couldn't believe his eyes, this battle had just begun, and his own side had caused no casualties to the Ming army, and there were only thirty-four people when the sky broke through, after all, the Ming army had not yet entered the wide range of effective killing of his own side, and his own big killer grenades had not yet been thrown, let alone melee hand-to-hand combat.

Nima, this is gone, and the formation that Lao Tzu carefully put out just now is in vain?

If this is to let the colleagues in the rear know that they are cautious, continuously change the formation, and test for almost more than an hour before starting the battle, but the battle has not yet started, the Ming army itself just ran first, then they must not laugh off their big teeth!

Run a fart!

Ma Dan, chase Lao Tzu!

Wang Chaofeng immediately ordered the troops to pursue, but it was not easy to catch up with the Ming army, which had become a frightened bird, and the people ran up, no worse than the new army of the Tang Dynasty in the Huangzhushan period.

chased seven or eight hundred meters in a row, only caught up with dozens of unlucky people in the Ming army, not only did not catch up with the Ming army, but also the whole army was tired and panting, especially those soldiers wearing heavy armor began to weaken their legs, Nima Laozi wore a heavy armor to pursue, very tired!

And if he chased again, Wang Chaofeng was also afraid that there would be an ambush ahead, pretending to be a rout to attract the enemy to pursue, and then using the main force to meet this kind of thing, which has happened a lot since ancient times.

And there are more than 100 cavalry on the side of the Ming army, if your physical strength is exhausted when you are pursuing, and the formation is also messed up, the more than 100 cavalry of the Ming army will turn around and rush over, it will be a massacre.

As a last resort, Wang Chaofeng could only order to stop the pursuit, and watched more than 2,000 Ming troops running around the mountains like locusts.

He's not reconciled!

Today was originally a happy day for him to become famous, become Hao Bonian's second, and then go up to the rank of official and make a fortune, but it was destroyed by these Ming troops.

At this moment, he wanted to look up to the sky and yell to vent the depression in his heart, but reason told him that he couldn't do that.

Wang Chaofeng was depressed, and Qiu Yu was furious!

Holding back his anger while escaping, he gathered his troops and ran out for several miles, and after not seeing the pseudo-Tang thief army behind him, Qiu Yu finally couldn't help the fury in his heart, and on the spot, he took his own soldiers to kill a hundred households that took the lead in escaping and more than a dozen soldiers in his department on the spot!

Let you take the lead and run away, let you shake the morale of the army, don't kill you, etc., how can I, Qiu Yu, lead the army to fight!

After the heads rolled down, the chaotic army finally regained its organization!

This also led to a result, in this battle, Qiu Yu killed more deserters than the soldiers killed by the puppet Tang thief army, after all, most of the thirty or forty people killed and wounded by the puppet Tang thief army were still injured, and not many were actually killed on the spot.

After initially controlling the troops, Qiu Yu also knew that he could not continue to lead them to turn around and fight with the pseudo-Tang thief army, and if he fought again, the morale of this army had been reduced to the point that it could not be lowered any longer, and the army that was frightened would collapse again without hesitation.

The only way to do this is to keep a distance from the puppet Tang thief army, and at the same time send people to the rear to ask for reinforcements.

Of course, asking for reinforcements naturally cannot be said to be that their troops were frightened by the puppet Tang thief army, but to say that the thief army is menacing, at least 1,000, no, at least 3,000 puppet Tang thief army are coming.

And once again focused on describing the sharpness of the firearms of the puppet Tang thief army, saying that the firearms of the puppet Tang thief army are extremely sharp, and they can shoot from a distance with a firearm in their hands, which is full of power, and its flowering bullets can be fired at once, and they are invincible.

At the same time, in order to explain why he didn't continue to go south, but ran back towards the Tonggu Acropolis, he said this: The headquarters encountered a pseudo-Tang thief army, and after a day of fierce fighting, the enemy's corpses fled with hundreds, and he wanted to lead the army to attack the thieves again, but there was another thousands of thieves around to attack the Tonggu Guard, and heard that the thief army had thousands of long guns, dozens of general cannons, and was afraid that the Tonggu Acropolis was in danger, so he led the army north to return to the Tonggu Acropolis, in order to completely defeat the thief army in the Tonggu Acropolis, and return the people of Liping and Xingquan to a bright future!

To sum up, Qiu Yu's words can be described in four words: victory turns!

But Qiu Yu didn't know that his words were originally just used to shirk responsibility, and he really guessed the strategic plan of the Datang New Army.

The Datang New Army really planned to counterattack the Tonggu Acropolis, and the troops that came were not only a fifth battalion, but three entire infantry regiments, with a strength of more than 6,000 people, which was more than Qiu Yu expected.

And that's not counting the thousands of Chinese troops led by Lin Xuan, who was rushing over in the rear.

Add up the two, at least 10,000 people!

How did Qiu Yu shirk responsibility, how did the generals of the main force of the Ming army view Qiu Yu turning around and running away, the generals of the Datang New Army naturally didn't know, and Wang Chaofeng, who was depressed that he had lost the opportunity to get the battle merits, sent a report to Hao Bonian in the rear, and continued to lead the troops north.

Although there was a strange incident in the middle of encountering a Ming army that collapsed without a fight, the battle plan still had to be implemented.

The combat mission of the 5th Infantry Battalion has not changed, and it is still to enter the Tonggu Acropolis in the north, making a posture of attacking the Tonggu Acropolis, forcing the Ming army near the Tonggu Acropolis to shrink and reinforce the Tonggu Acropolis.

After the Ming army retreats behind the Tonggu Acropolis, then it should be the main force of the vanguard led by Hao Bonian himself, and then Hao Bonian will lead the vanguard to surround the Ming army in the Tonggu Acropolis.

Force the main force of the Ming army in the north to come to the rescue!

If this battle plan is simpler, it can be generally regarded as an encirclement point to send reinforcements, and the core point of the siege is not the Tonggu Acropolis itself, but the Tonggu Acropolis and thousands of Ming troops in the nearby area.

The Bronze Drum Acropolis was not a must-defend place for the Ming army, and if the Ming army saw the danger, they could have given up the Bronze Drum Acropolis directly.

However, although the Bronze Drum Acropolis is not very important, the Ming army guarding the Bronze Drum Acropolis is important, and it is unlikely that the generals of the main force of the Ming army will sit back and watch the Ming army of two or three thousand people be surrounded by the puppet Tang thief army and then annihilated.

The task of the 5th Infantry Battalion was to hold back the Ming troops in the Tonggu Acropolis and force them into the Tonggu Acropolis, so that Hao Bonian's main forward force could smoothly surround them.

For this reason, Wang Chaofeng's pace of advance is neither fast nor slow, he wants to leave time for the Ming army in front to enter the Acropolis of Tonggu!

Otherwise, if you go too fast, if you accidentally arrive at the Acropolis of Copper Drum first, then it will be embarrassing, how can you let the Ming army in the nearby area hide in the Acropolis of Copper Drum, this is not bad if you don't run back directly to the direction of the main force of the Ming army in the north.

However, even if he walked a little slowly, at this time, his fifth infantry battalion was only more than ten miles away from the Acropolis of Tonggu, and by the afternoon of the next day, it still arrived under the Acropolis of Tonggu without any problems.

After a few days, the Acropolis of Bronze Drum once again became the battlefield of the Ming army and the Tang army, but this time the offensive and defensive identities of the two sides were reversed, the Ming army became the defending side, but the Tang army became the attacking side!
