After Wang ordered the cavalry to raid the left flank artillery position of the Tang Army, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically in an instant.

Originally, the two sides were just testing each other, and although the fighting was lively, it actually failed to damage the foundation of both sides, but now, with the biggest trump card in Wang Yiqi's hand, three thousand cavalry under his command were dispatched.

Li Chunjing decisively launched the initiative to launch a general offensive of the whole army!

It was not an attack of one battalion or one regiment, but a huge attack of two divisions and two mixed regiments, and the infantry that launched the charge alone exceeded 30,000 men!

The Ming army on the opposite side was shocked at first, but they also knew that there was no way to hide, and the generals of the Ming army were also urging the troops to face the battle!

And the main force of the Chinese army, that is, the many huge phalanxes composed of the Jiangnan New Army, was the first to directly collide with the Seventh Infantry Division in front of it.

However, although his own troops were more, the fight made Wang Yiqi's face in the rear dark.

Although the army under his command was larger, after a volley of the thief army and the throwing of flowering shells, the soldiers in the front row suffered heavy casualties, which affected the morale of the entire army.

And the hand-to-hand combat that followed was even more unbelievable.

There are too many people in armor in the thief army, and not only the spearmen in the front row wear full-body armor that radiates metallic light, but most of the spearmen in the back row are also wearing half-body armor or traditional iron armor.

And many of the musketeers in the front row were also wearing cotton iron armor and cuirasses.

These heavily armored thief soldiers had not seen much power before, but in the hand-to-hand combat phase between the two sides, they burst out with incredible power.

It is often a team of thieves and spearmen, that is, hundreds of people who can kill their own side are defeated!

A huge phalanx of tens of thousands of people on his side could only meet the attack of an infantry regiment against the thief army, but the huge phalanx on the right flank only lasted for only a quarter of an hour, and finally collapsed completely!

And this is not a unique situation, but it is true on almost the entire front!

One phalanx after another was defeated by the thief army, and the stragglers of the Ming army were almost all over the entire front, they ran around in panic and confusion, trying to leave this huge battlefield, but this huge battlefield spread for miles, how could they escape so easily.

Seeing that the army on the front line was constantly defeated, Wang Yiqi could still maintain his composure, at most his face was dark, but several other Ming army generals on the side were panicked.

"This is not a war at all, this is a massacre, this is a massacre!" A lieutenant general on the side obviously couldn't accept the scene in front of him, and at this time he was at a loss and said something he shouldn't have said.

Although the people on the side were not so out of shape, their expressions were not any better, and one of them walked up to Wang Yiqi and whispered: "My lord, it's not okay to go on like this!" ”

Wang Yiqi didn't look back at him, but said, "No, what better way do you have?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, what could he do at this moment, now that the armies of the two sides were already fighting together, even if he wanted to make a tactical move, it was impossible.

At present, the officers and men on both sides of the front line are fighting completely by virtue of the instinct of the officers and soldiers and the command of middle and low-level officers, not to mention these generals in their rear, even the commanders and commanders of the front line cannot control the troops.

All they can do now is wait, waiting for good news from the front, or the rout of the whole army!

After they watched for a long time, someone suddenly said, "My lord, our cavalry has retreated!" ”

Wang Yiqi looked in the direction indicated, and saw that the cavalry he had sent to raid the artillery position on the left flank of the thief army had already been routed backwards like a tide, and the number of cavalry was more than half less than before the departure, and there were hundreds of cavalry of the thief army in the rear to pursue them.

"A bunch of rubbish, rubbish!" At this time, Wang Yiqi's face finally changed!

"Three thousand horsemen, even if you can't break the artillery position of the thief army, you are still being chased by hundreds of horsemen of the thief army, these wastes, all damn it!"

That's 3,000 cavalry, all of them are elite cavalry drawn from the northern border towns, I don't dare to say that all of them are skilled in bows and horses, but most of them are elite cavalry who can shoot arrows immediately, but in this battle, they were first intercepted by the infantry and artillery of the thief army, and then they were repeatedly charged and killed twice by the 800 cavalry of the thief army, and the formation was completely disrupted.

Now, the remaining more than 1,000 cavalry had no intention of fighting at all, or they didn't have the courage to continue fighting, and they were chased by the thief cavalry who were far less than themselves.

The cavalry is over!

Wang Yiqi retracted his gaze, and then stopped looking at the battle between the two armies under the field, because he didn't need to look at him to know what the outcome of this battle would be.

At the beginning of the melee between the two sides, when the first phalanx of 10,000 people on his side collapsed, he knew that he had lost this battle!

And the defeat is that he can't find any reason to justify!

100,000 troops, against 40,000 thieves, and it was an upright battle between the two sides, there was no conspiracy or tricks in the whole process, but the thief army had an advantage from beginning to end.

They constantly bombarded their own phalanx with artillery, so that their infantry phalanx had not yet engaged, in fact, they had already suffered heavy losses, and their cavalry tried to raid the enemy's artillery positions to change the disadvantage faced by the Soviets, but also failed.

By now, he is already very clear that this battle is lost!

Wang Yiqi withdrew his gaze to the front line, and then gave two orders to the soldiers around him, and then the soldiers took his letters and galloped back, and then left the battlefield.

There were three letters sent away, one was to Yu Zongbing, Wang Yiqi ordered him to lead the army to break through immediately after receiving the order, as for how to break through and go there, Wang Yiqi did not say, because he didn't know how to let Yu Dayou break through there.

A letter was sent to Jinling, informing the officers and officials who stayed in Jinling that the battle had been lost, and that they should stick to the city defense, and that they must keep the bridgehead of Jinling City, so that they could have a bridgehead to counterattack Jiangnan in the future.

One was sent to the Beijing Division, which was the last letter he sent to Emperor Zhengde, in which he analyzed in detail the puppet Tang thief army and the situation in the world, and finally dared to make a suggestion, and the thief army to make peace, how to talk about it can be successful, then first draw the river and rule, lie down and taste the courage for ten years, and counterattack it ten years later. If it fails, it will retreat to Jiangbei and resist step by step.

After watching his soldiers go away, he turned back to look at the battlefield, on the battlefield, his right flank had completely collapsed, and the many huge phalanxes composed of more than 10,000 troops of the thief army were slowly advancing towards his own Chinese army.

The tens of thousands of Jiangnan New Army of their own Chinese army are making a final stubborn resistance, and they have to fight against more than 10,000 thieves in front of them and more than 10,000 people from the right flank.

The left flank composed of the border army and the guards was also facing the final collapse at this time, many small phalanxes were defeated, and then the soldiers fled, and the thieves even moved many artillery pieces to the front of the formation, and then approached to bombard.

When charging, the flowering bullet is thrown into your own phalanx like no money.

Wang Yiqi naturally didn't know that this time on the expedition, Li Chunjing brought quite a lot of grenades, the total amount was as high as more than 50,000, and these 50,000 grenades were all distributed before the war.

A quarter of an hour later, the left wing was also finished!

Wang Yiqi sighed at this time, and then said: "Mingjin retreats, how much can you go back!" ”

Seeing that the complete defeat of the whole army was imminent, Wang Yiqi finally gave the order to retreat, which made the group of people around him breathe a sigh of relief, but he was afraid that Wang Yiqi would be the same as Cheng Hongan, the madman, who would not run or say anything, and would not let the generals under his command flee for their lives.

When Cheng Hongan was defeated, the poisoning of his generals caused a great shock after it was later reported, some people praised Cheng Hongan's behavior, and some people scolded.

However, after many Ming generals learned about this, they would inevitably have a more defensive mind, and the pro-soldiers in this vicinity were not only Wang Yiqi's pro-soldiers, but also the pro-soldiers of other generals.

At this time, if Wang Yiqi let them drink a glass of wine, it is estimated that they will have to strike first and kill them directly!

Don't kill us if you want to die!

If they die on the battlefield, although they don't want to die, they can barely accept it, but if they are killed by their own people, the nature is completely different.

After listening to Wang Yiqi's order to collect troops, the others began to silently turn over their horses one by one, preparing to withdraw from the battlefield with their own soldiers, but Wang Yiqi did not move.

Others glanced at Wang Yiqi, and most of them could guess what Wang Yiqi wanted to do, some people sighed and left directly, while a few people walked to Wang Yiqi's side: "My lord, we should also go, it's too late!" ”

Wang Yiqi glanced back at him: "You guys go, this official won't leave!" ”

Although Wang Yiqi didn't say it explicitly, everyone else saw what he wanted to do, and the person who persuaded sighed and left!

Wang Yiqi watched everyone else leave, and then looked at the more than ten pro-soldiers who were still here, and said with a smile: "You guys should go too!" ”

The more than a dozen pro-soldiers shook their heads in unison!

Wang Yiqi stopped talking after hearing this, but nodded slightly: "It's okay, it's up to you!" ”

At this time, the order for Mingjin to retreat had been spread throughout the whole army, and the left and right wings of the Ming army, which had collapsed, needless to say, began to scramble to flee one by one, even the tens of thousands of Jiangnan New Army of the Chinese army, which was still resisting before, began to retreat at this time.

Of course, a retreat in this case is more appropriate than a retreat.

But Wang Yiqi doesn't care about these anymore!

He began to tidy up his clothes, and when he was done, he stretched out his hand: "Knife!" ”

The soldiers on the side hesitated for a moment, and finally took out their waist knives and handed them to Wang Yiqi's hand, with a cry in their mouths: "My lord! ”

Wang Yiqi didn't look at this person, and after taking the knife, he first turned around and looked at the north, looking in the direction of the Forbidden City: "Your Majesty, the minister has done his best!" ”

Then he looked back at the rout army in front of him, and continued to murmur: "But the strength of the thief army is far beyond expectations, minister, there is really nothing to be done!" ”

Wang Yiqi's voice became louder and louder: "Although the soldiers fought hard to kill the enemy, the thieves had sharp guns and thick armor and sharp arrows, so that the 100,000 troops were wiped out in one day!"

"That's an army of 100,000,000!"

"A whole army of 100,000!"

After that, he just struggled to raise the knife and wipe it on his neck, and immediately the blood arrow sprayed into the air, and he fell to the ground for the last time when he looked at the sky, still with deep unwillingness!
