In any battle, when the soldiers of the army begin to flee, and the generals are unable to stop this rout in a short time, a small rout will turn into a major rout of the whole army.

This is almost an iron law from ancient times to the present, regardless of the era, regardless of the army, regardless of whether it is an ancient cold weapon army or a modern army, regardless of whether it is a homeless army or an elite army, once there is a rout, it will be finished in minutes.

The New Army of the Tang Dynasty itself has such examples, and the Ming Army also has them, and to be honest, there have been many cases of this situation in these two armies.

When the Ming army entered Huangzhushan, in the face of the main force of the Ming army, the new army of the Tang Dynasty did not dare to fight at all, and as soon as the soldiers found out that something was wrong, they didn't need to give an order, they fled directly, and the speed of the 'turn' and the decisiveness of the action made Li Xuan happy and wanted to scold his mother.

This turned around and ran away when he encountered a strong enemy, how can such bandits fight?

This is also why Li Xuan later wanted to re-recruit the children of the peasant family to form a new army of the Tang Dynasty, because he knew that he could not rely on those bandits to fight at all.

Today's Datang New Army is completely different from the Datang New Army half a year ago, and the young and strong people who were born as bandits in Huangzhushan have been assigned by Li Xuanqing to the baggage battalion as auxiliary soldiers, or they have simply been sent to the grain collection department as a grain conscription soldier that everyone hates.

As for the main combat soldiers of the Tang New Army, most of them were soldiers from peasant families, and these soldiers were not contaminated with bandit habits and maintained a relatively simple style.

And these peasant soldiers are the soldiers Li Xuan wants, so that they can bear the future of the Tang Dynasty, as for those old bandits, they should honestly be coolies to transport the baggage.

The 1st Infantry Battalion, whose core combat strength is composed of trained farmers, is not daring to say that its quality is the best in the world, but within a radius of 100 meters, it can still be called unrivaled!

Their allies, the 2nd Infantry Battalion and the 3rd Infantry Battalion, are all recruit eggs, so don't talk about it!

The Ming army on the opposite side looked decent, but already under the fire of the 1st Infantry Battalion, it began to crumble.

And the Ming army on the other side of the river is still crossing the river in a hurry, and they will not be able to cross for a while.

In this land of river flats, the 1st Infantry Battalion can proudly raise its head and say, "No one can stop our attack!" ”

Li Xuan looked at the Baiduo Ming army in front of him and nodded with a satisfied look!

This result was within his expectations, in fact, from the moment he ordered the attack, as long as there was no miracle, the destruction of this group of Ming troops was already doomed.

Although the war is full of uncertainty, this uncertainty does not include the battle in front of us!

More than 1,000 people on their own side rushed out, even if they didn't count the 2nd Infantry Battalion and the 3rd Infantry Battalion that were actually shouting 66 on the side, and the 1st Infantry Battalion, sword and shield soldiers, and archers who actually participated in the battle, there were more than 500 people combined.

These more than 500 people are the main force of the Tang New Army for a long time, and the strength of the fighting force far exceeds its own more than 100 Ming troops, and it is not a matter of being able to capture them.

Even in order to avoid casualties, they did not rush forward, but used muskets and bows and arrows to carry out long-range strikes from a distance, and these Ming troops just couldn't hold on.

"The 1st Infantry Battalion is worthy of being an elite division trained by His Majesty himself, and it has already destroyed the strong enemy in just a moment!" Zeng Ziwen on the side touched the beard scum that had just grown a few millimeters and said: "With this Wang Shi, our army will sweep the world just around the corner!" ”

Listening to Zeng Ziwen's words, Li Xuan was a little speechless, this guy has been messing around with Liu Bagou for a long time, and he has also learned some bad habits of Liu, and if he has nothing to do, he will say that sweeping the world is just around the corner.

He turned his head to Zeng Ziwen and said: "Zeng Aiqing, I will leave the follow-up cleaning of the battlefield to you, cut off the chains of crossing the river, so as not to let the Ming army touch it!" ”

Since more than 100 Ming troops have collapsed, the follow-up battles are no longer battles, they can only be said to be cleaning up the battlefield, capturing prisoners, cleaning up the wounded and corpses, and collecting weapons and other trophies of the Ming army.

Naturally, Li Xuan didn't need to worry about these things personally!

Zeng Ziwen immediately said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

At this time, Li Xuan suddenly glanced at him, and then said lightly: "Don't learn Liu Bagou if it's okay, that's not for you!" ”

After all, he just went down with the guards!

Zeng Ziwen was a little stunned for a while after listening to Li Xuan's words, but although his ability to personally lead troops to fight is not very good, he is not stupid, knowing that Li Xuan must have a deep meaning when he says this.

But what exactly is the meaning?

Is it because he, the combat division, is too close to Liu Bagou, who is the first assistant, so that His Majesty is worried about the loss of military power?

After Li Xuan left, Zeng Ziwen pondered in place for a long time, and finally sighed, muttering from his mouth: "The heart of the king is unpredictable!" ”

The implementation proved that he thought about it a lot, and the reason why Li Xuan said this was that he felt that he shouted every day that Li Xuan was the Holy Monarch of the Ages, that the Tang Dynasty was invincible, that he would overthrow the puppet Ming in March, and unify Kyushu for half a year.

There are too many people talking about it, and those who don't know still think that his Tang Dynasty is all bragging!

They're a serious rebellion, they're here to play with their lives, not to brag and joke!

Zeng Ziwen, Fang Dongquan and these generals, it's better to do more facts, don't brag if you have nothing to do!

Zeng Ziwen went to clean up the battlefield with a contemplative face, and in the land of the river beach, Butcher Chen looked at the Ming army that had all collapsed, and his face was unhappy.

"Damn, these days the musketeers, patronizing themselves are cool, and there is not a single hair left for Lao Tzu!" Butcher Chen was very unhappy.

He ran for hundreds of meters in a dead armor, but when he arrived at the battle, he could only stand in place, just watching the musketeers shoot, and waited until the Ming army collapsed before ordering them to rush forward.

And what's the use of rushing up at this time?

Those Ming troops either surrendered or fled, and none of them resisted!

So much so that after killing for a long time, his pig-killing knife has not been stained with any blood!

Cai Erhu next to him looked at the Ming army kneeling in front of him, and he was also worried: "Brother Chen, it's not okay to go on like this, those of us in armor have always been the main force of the fight, but now, let alone the main force, even the charge will let us go first, let alone eat meat in the future, we can't even drink soup!" ”

Butcher Chen just shook his head when he heard this, and he was helpless!

In addition to the fact that these armor-clad sword and shield soldiers can also act as the main force when attacking the city, the positioning is becoming more and more awkward at other times, especially in the field, not that the musketeers have compressed their living space, but the spearmen in armor have replaced them and become the main force of hand-to-hand combat in the new army of the Tang Dynasty.

The charge just now, it was not their sword and shield soldiers who rushed to the forefront, but spearmen, those spearmen in the front row with armor, charging like a bulldozer, that is to kill the gods when they meet the gods, kill the Buddha when they meet the Buddha, and there is nothing to do with their sword and shield soldiers.

It seems that this sword and shield soldier is not easy to mix, so he simply changes his job, but what should he transfer? Go to play with muskets or with spears?

For a while, Butcher Chen was a little confused! 8)
