Zheng Jie didn't have time to think more, and immediately shouted: "All the reserve soldiers are dispatched, attack the two wings of the Tang Army respectively, and crush all these damn Tang Army heavy infantry for me!" ”

"Order!"

Under Zheng Jie's order, thousands of Zheng Jun's soldiers, who were serving as reserve forces, immediately roared out from their own formation. They quickly divided into two divisions and made a detour towards the flanks on both sides, preparing to crush and kill all the rampant troops of the Tang army, which was fighting with all their might, with the impact of their surprise.

As soon as the Zheng army reserve moved, Weng Zhiqi, the deputy mayor of the Tang Army over there, saw it clearly, and immediately made a move with the command flag in his hand, and the Tang army cavalry, who were also on standby on both sides, immediately roared and rushed up.

Compared with the infantry of the Zheng Army, which is fully equipped, the heavy cavalry of the Tang Army is the Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry of the Tang Army, and these elite Tang Army cavalry with heavy armor cannot successfully charge in a group because the distance is too short, but in such a short-handed battle, its combat ability and defensive ability are much stronger than the Zheng Army, which can be called a crushing advantage.

At this moment, in the Tang army's main formation, the formation changed rapidly, and more than 1,000 spearmen who were originally behind the gun and shield battle array, waiting as a reserve, quickly divided into two teams, and they rushed out of the formation, preparing to go behind the Zheng army's soldiers to completely encircle and destroy them.

The thousands of reservists of the Zheng army quickly fell into an extremely dangerous situation of being surrounded by the front and rear. It's just that the cavalry of the Tang Army was wedged extremely deep and fought fiercely, and the Zheng Army couldn't break away from the whole team at all.

And at this moment, with the command flag in the Tang army waving high again, and a strange swan trumpet, it sounded sharply and piercingly.

Zheng Jie was surprised to see that from the distant horizon, as if by magic, there was a cavalry team of about 3,000 people, running around and around at a rapid pace, and they were like a raging rush that swept up the ground, and was rushing in their own direction, shouting and killing.

Zheng Jie's face was pale, his mouth was half open, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his head was blank at this time.

Unexpectedly, Tang Jun actually hid a trick......

In such a difficult situation of the battle, Tang Jun was still so calm, and he kept quietly hiding this killing move until he played all the cards in his hand before he released it.

It's hateful, Lao Tzu has played eagles all his life, and today I went here and was pecked blind by the eagle!

"Shizi, the enemy's combat strength is strong, and there are a large number of cavalry to help, our army is already invincible, where to go, please make a quick decision!" Zheng Hua, the deputy general on the side, asked in a trembling voice, and Zheng Jie, who was in a state of confusion, woke up in an instant.

Zheng Jie is now facing the most painful choice.

In a practical sense, if all the cards have been played, you are still invincible, and the best way to deal with it is to quickly escape, so that your life can be saved.

However, if he, as the commander, turns around and flees at this critical moment in the battle, it is conceivable that Zheng Jun's battle formation, because the main general will flee, will definitely be demoralized, and even collapse in the whole formation.

And these Tang cavalry, even if they couldn't catch up with him, they could immediately turn their backs on the Zheng army that was in a bitter battle. Rushed by these 3,000 cavalry, those who were in turmoil when the main general fled the army, I am afraid that they will collapse more quickly and completely.

Moreover, as a general of the unified army, even if he can escape from the battlefield, but he has lost more than 20,000 Zheng family soldiers and horses, how will he explain to his father after he goes back!

What's even more terrifying is that more than 20,000 people are the most elite combat power of the Zheng family, if they are all lost here, then the Zheng family's defense force is empty, and the Tang army can go straight to the Beimang line in one go, and the Zheng family's northern defense line is very likely to be completely defeated!

It's just that if you don't run, as soon as these 3,000 cavalry come, your own more than 300 escort cavalry, whose strength is only one-tenth of the enemy's, how can they withstand the impact of the Tang army?

It is almost certain that if the two armies engage in a battle, the more than 300 escort cavalry, including themselves, will be firmly surrounded by these 3,000 Tang Army cavalry, and all of them will be wiped out, and there will be no more survivors.

At this moment, Zheng Jie's remorse was beyond his reach, and he was extremely irritable.

If it weren't for his eagerness to avenge the 800 cavalry, if he hadn't been greedy for merit, failed to clearly judge the situation, and failed to analyze the hidden traps, how could he have ended up in such a situation!

Damn, is Lao Tzu a dead man now?!

Zheng Jie was at a loss and in a dilemma, the three thousand Tang Army cavalry had quickly passed through the main formation that was fighting fiercely, and they were getting closer and closer to Zheng Jie and the others.

At such an urgent moment, an idea flashed in Zheng Jie's mind.

No, there is a third option.

That is, immediately Ming Jin ordered the whole army to retreat, so that the whole army would return to its own position to protect itself. In this case, although it is very likely that the sacrifice and loss will be great, but at least, with its own army still having an advantage of nearly twice the advantage, even if the Tang army is strong and able to fight, it really cannot completely defeat itself. In this way, although we can no longer hope to win this battle, we can at least barely protect ourselves and slowly withdraw.

This kind of plan can be said to be the most helpless now, but it is also the most suitable choice.

Zheng Jie took a long breath, and his face immediately showed an awe-inspiring color, and he began to order in a deep voice.

"General Chuan Ben ordered that he immediately call out the gold and recall the sons and daughters who are fighting with the Tang army, so that they will withdraw with all their strength without fear of losses. Then the whole army will form a formation on the spot and face these damned Tang troops together, as long as you fight to the death with this general, you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy army and win the final victory. Zheng Jie pulled out his waist knife and loudly cheered up his subordinates.

The flags flew over, and the strange and rapid sound of gold immediately sounded sharply and continuously.

Hearing the sound of gold coming from behind, all the Zheng Jun, who was concentrating on fighting with all their might, suddenly couldn't believe their ears.

No, how could it be!

At this time when the battle situation is so stalemate, the main general Zheng Jie, actually ordered the whole army to retreat, isn't it crazy?

What the hell is going on?

It's just that the clear and sharp sound of gold is not broken, like a heavy hammer, constantly beating in the hearts of the remaining 15,000 Zheng soldiers, making everyone's already low morale like a deflated ball, completely depressed.

Fuck it! What a bird fight!

When the victory or defeat is not decided in such a stalemate, it is simply a suicide to withdraw the queen in a hurry!

Besides, now that the two armies are fighting like this, how can their own side, even if they want to retreat immediately, how can they do it easily.

It's just that the military order is ruthless, how can you disobey it.

For a while, the rear team of Zheng Jun changed to the front team, and they turned around and retreated, the formation changed greatly, and the order was chaotic.

They were like a group of wild boars who did not care about their heads, they had no desire to fight, fled frantically, regardless of the fierce pursuit of the Tang cavalry, and the continuous stabbing of the Tang army spearmen behind, a large number of Zheng cavalry screamed and fell to the ground, or killed or wounded, and were chased and killed very embarrassed.

The Zheng army broke away, and the cavalry of the Tang army that fought with them was immediately divided into two parts, one of which was a flying harrier light horse, going around all the way, trying to completely block the retreat of all the rout.

The other part is the Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry, these horses and horses are heavily armored, and the steel monsters weighing more than 500 kilograms turn their heads and rush towards the Zheng army infantry who are retreating and fleeing one after another.

Such transients have only happened in a very short period of time.

Seeing the instantaneous change in the situation, Empress Zheng Juncang withdrew, and the commander of the Tang Army, Weng Zhiqi, made a quick decision, and Rieter issued an order for the whole army to attack.

Don't miss out on such a great opportunity!

The gun and shield battle array, which had been deliberately maintained, dispersed in an instant, and a large number of Tang Army spearmen, like tigers out of the mountains, pursued the retreating Zheng army desperately.

A sharp spear stabbed at Zheng Jun, who was retreating desperately, and one after another Zheng Jun, who had fled, fell to the ground and died.

When the Tang army's spearmen were killed, the more than 1,000 Xuanhu heavy cavalry, like steel tanks, ruthlessly rushed in from both sides, and the Zheng army was retreating in a chaotic manner.

The men and horses were heavily armoured, and the Xuanhu heavy horse, which weighed as much as half a ton, was like a terrifying steel beast, rushing into the unsuspecting Zheng army that was fleeing at a sharp and high speed, and its impact reached an almost terrifying level.

Countless soldiers of the Zheng army were shocked by the iron horse and flew all over the sky like pieces of paper, and after crossing a long or short arc in the air, they fell to the ground with a snap, either dead or disabled.

And more Zheng Jun was knocked to the ground by this iron-armored heavy horseman, and then his head or stomach was trampled alive by the thick iron hooves that came one after another, and a terrible popping sound sounded on the ground.

The incomparable Tang Army's Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry, in the screams of the Zheng army, from the fleeing Zheng army's array, with violence and death, ploughed out a bloody road with blurred flesh and blood, covered with broken limbs and wreckage.

The remaining 10,000-strong Zheng army infantry all collapsed when they landed.

The retreat, which was barely a bit orderly, instantly turned into a goalless escape. They abandoned their weapons, wailed loudly, and even took off their armor as they ran, in order to be able to escape as much as possible in this escape competition.

And the Tang Army's Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry, and the thousands of Tang Army spearmen, were like beasts chasing their prey, continuing to bite and hunt them mercilessly.

Seeing his more than 30,000 soldiers, he was still in retreat, moving towards a complete rout, Zheng Jie's heart was as painful as a knife, but he was already powerless.

I wanted to get lucky, but in the end I lost completely.

He had no choice but to watch the Zheng army soldiers spread all over the slopes, and they were slaughtered by the Tang army like pigs and sheep.

At this moment, Zheng Jie suddenly felt a sense of disillusionment, at this time, he only felt that he was a walking corpse with only breath left, and he didn't know what the meaning of his existence was.

At this point in the battle, the defeat was decided, and Zheng Jie knew that if he continued to resist, he would be powerless and useless.

It's a pity, I wanted to gamble, I wanted to rethink the formation of a battle to protect myself, but now it seems like a very ironic joke.

The pity of the Zheng army's more than 20,000 soldiers under his command is coming to the end of their fate with such a wretched ending today.

When Zheng Jie was at a loss, there were more than a thousand flying harrier cavalry, and finally raised a huge amount of smoke and dust all the way, roaring and rushing to Zheng Jie's place.

Seeing these Tang cavalry rushing like Ye Zeng, Zheng Jie did not hesitate to change his original intention and issued an order for the whole army to retreat immediately.

When Zheng Jie's escort cavalry encountered an amnesty, they immediately turned their horses' heads, tightly protected Zheng Jie, and fled quickly.

It's just that their speed, after all, is still a little slower.

Those Tang Army Flying Harrier cavalry rushed closer, but they did not immediately rush into pursuit as Zheng Jie imagined, just like the Tang Army cavalry. On the contrary, while maintaining a high speed of pursuit, they immediately took off the bows on their backs, and began to look at Zheng Jie and the others who were fleeing in front, squeaking their bows and pulling the strings, and shooting away as much as they could.

More than 1,000 cavalry fired arrows one by one, and there was a sudden sound, and a black arrow rain instantly floated in the air, whistling across the blue sky, and quickly catching up with Zheng Jie and others who fled for their lives.

In the cavalry of Zheng Jie's guards, there was a continuous scream, and the soldiers behind were hit by arrows, and people shouted that the horses fell off their horses neighingly.

Among them, a black arrow passed through the blocking guards and shot extremely accurately at the back of the neck of the adjutant general Zheng Jie, who was on the side, and the sharp arrow came out from his front neck, bringing out a large cloud of blood mist.

"General Zheng!"

"Shizi!"

When the guards next to him screamed repeatedly, an unbearable pain instantly passed from the back of Zheng Jie's neck to his brain. The pain was so intense that he fainted almost of course. He shook his horse and almost fell off his horse, but fortunately the cavalry next to him held him in time.

Zheng Jie's vision gradually became blurry, and he tried to stay conscious, but he couldn't say much, so he could only let his subordinates guard him tightly, and he accelerated his escape speed, and walked away all the way.

The cavalry of the Tang Army, who were originally chasing closely, saw that they had escaped so quickly, and couldn't help but spit and curse in the back, and after shooting a rain of arrows in anger, they no longer continued to pursue.

They turned their horses' heads and ran towards the Zheng infantry who were fleeing in a hurry, and together with the Tang army's light cavalry flying harriers, they flanked them and chased them fiercely.

Under the joint attack of the main general who was injured and fled, and the Tang army had an absolute advantage, the remnants of the Zheng army, who were desperately fleeing for their lives, immediately collapsed completely.

They fled in all directions without a goal, the entire formation completely collapsed and was difficult to control, and everyone was only concerned about their own hasty escape.

At this point, the entire vast wilderness has become a place for the Tang army to slaughter to its heart's content, and the Zheng army, which has fled all over the slopes, is like a cow, sheep, pig and dog that is frantically fleeing for their lives, appointing the Tang army to chase and kill and hack to death, and there is no possibility of saving their lives at all.

What's even more terrifying is that in such a scattered rout, even if there were sporadic Zheng soldiers who wanted to surrender, they were immediately killed by the red-eyed Tang soldiers, cut or stabbed, and killed on the spot, without mercy.

It's just that the two-legged infantry, how can they outrun the four-legged cavalry, in the end, about 8,000 people, were cut off by the Tang cavalry, and they were about to be surrounded and killed.

Of course, this group of people understood their fate, and they knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing in the face of the cold blades of the Tang army approaching more and more, and begging for surrender.

In the end, it was Weng Zhiqi, the commander of the Tang Army, who gave the order to stop the killing, and accepted the surrender of the more than 8,000 Zheng troops, and the whole battle finally ended.

So far, more than 22,000 Zheng soldiers and horses, only about 2,000 people escaped with their lives, another more than 8,000 people became prisoners of the Tang army, and the rest of the more than 10,000 people were slaughtered by the Tang army.
