He Sanjiang had to adjust his tactics and began to sneak and slip, his five thousand cavalry could not be buried in this battle like this.

The advantage of cavalry mobility, in the case of the Hongtang army's full firepower, can be said to be completely unrestrained, even the most powerful Qing iron cavalry in this era could not break the formation of the Hongtang Suifa musket team, let alone He Sanjiang's cavalry.

10,000 infantry were pressed up, while 5,000 cavalry bypassed the frontal battlefield and attacked Hongtang's army from the flanks.

"Boom, boom!!"

"Boom, boom!!"

The Hongtang army stopped attacking the peasant army at dawn before, not because they wanted to let Li Zicheng peasant army go, but because they wanted to organize the officers and men of the Ming army in Jiacheng to launch a general attack on the peasant army.

The bombardment of dozens of artillery pieces of the field artillery team plunged the large array of the Chinese army that Li Zicheng and his team had finally organized into chaos.

Before the battle, the momentum had been taken away from the preemptive, and there was a huge numerical advantage, but the defeat of the peasant army had already been revealed.

The Hongtang army advanced slowly and methodically, bringing boundless slaughter to the peasant army with each step forward, and the battlefield of the hastily responded was littered with the corpses of the peasant soldiers killed or wounded.

In the previous battle to defend the city, the musket team of the Hongtang army only used two-thirds of the strength, and now under the full firepower, Li Zicheng and they understood why Gao Yigong and Liu Zongmin were defeated so badly and so quickly, and at the same time, he finally believed the power of the firearms of the Hongtang army described by several henchmen, and he would no longer feel that what they said was exaggerated.

"King, our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, I'm afraid we can't resist it!!"

This is the fifth time He Sanjiang has come to ask for help from himself, just now Liu Zongmin sent soldiers to ask for help and was scolded away by himself, and in a blink of an eye, He Sanjiang, who had high hopes for him, sent soldiers to complain to himself, which made Li Zicheng unspeakably aggrieved, resentful, and ashamed.

"Do you want to send Lao Tzu Ye to the battlefield? Lao Tzu just gave him how many men and horses He Sanjiang had, and now he actually came to complain again, even if the soldier Lao Tzu gave was a pig, it would take some effort and time for the Ming Dynasty army to kill!! ”

Li Zicheng spat at foam, and the soldier who reported the news in the future sprayed a dog blood, and he sent the last sentence to the overtime dog: "If there is no one left, tell him He Sanjiang to find a way by himself, if he loses the battle, he will come back to see Lao Tzu!" ”

In fact, the situation on the battlefield has always been seen by Li Zicheng, and how he didn't know the actions of his peasant army at this critical time was really disappointing.

Li Zicheng sent his elite henchmen to be the commander of the team, holding a long knife to face the soldiers who escaped from the frontline battlefield, but they still couldn't stop the soldiers from fleeing, and as the war continued to develop, there was a tendency to get worse and worse.

He Sanjiang is not without his efforts, the 10,000 infantry under his command have almost been lost in several battles, and the more than 10,000 soldiers obtained from Li Zicheng's request for help several times are now very few; And played some tricks, changed the cavalry from the front line of the charge to the flank harassment, and under several engagements, the 5,000 soldiers also lost nearly 2,000, and He Sanjiang was saddened to see it.

Even in He Sanjiang's heart, there was a faint complaint about Li Tianyang, the leader, why didn't they know to keep a hand, or simply like Peng Zhihai last night, it was good to let themselves and others return to Hong Tang's command!

With their current strength in the peasant army, even if they really want to keep Li Zicheng here, it is not impossible, and this opportunity is very big!

It's just that complaining is complaining, since his hometown didn't give him other orders, then he can only play his role in a proper manner and shed blood for Li Zicheng's peasant army.

"Tell Wu Chao in front of them and let them increase their attacks, I want to see the scene of the collapse of the enemy's main army before dark!"

Li Tianyang is also in the Chinese army, in fact, it is the Chinese army, but it is just a guard team composed of more than 100 Hongtang elites, and the rest of the soldiers were all put into the battlefield by Li Tianyang, and even the Hongtang auxiliary soldiers were used to carry muskets and go to the front line of the battlefield.

For He Sanjiang's thousands of cavalry, Li Tianyang actually put a lot of water, otherwise he really had to use the field artillery team to gather firepower on their cavalry army first, I am afraid that there would be no more than 3,000 remaining soldiers of He Sanjiang at this time.

Even with it, Li Tianyang couldn't make too much action against the two thousand cavalry led by Li Laiheng, unless the other party took the initiative to approach his own battle formation and was defeated by his own musket team, and the rest of the time, the Hongtang army was on his side at night.

The battle situation has come to the present, in fact, the Hongtang army and other odds of victory have been highlighted, last night's surprise attack in a battle, not only defeated tens of thousands of soldiers of the peasant army, but also defeated the psychological defense line and will to fight of the peasant army.

To this day, all the main forces of the Hongtang army attacked, and the musket team and field artillery team were in full firepower, and the last bit of fighting spirit of the peasant army that had just experienced a rout was lost.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zicheng's peasant army finally couldn't hold on any longer, and the soldiers of Gao Yigong's department began to flee, and the associated effect was that the first department of Yuan Zong, which was adjacent to it, also began to rout, which in turn led to the defeat of other parts of the soldiers.

Emotions and actions are contagious, and when there are clues to the movement of people fleeing, and Li Zicheng and other generals do not stop it in time, the final result is already self-evident.

This time, the rout is no longer as easy to organize as last night, and when they retreated last night, at least Li Zicheng, He Sanjiang, and the elite soldiers of the headquarters were not greatly affected.

As the backbone of the team, there was no rout, which means that Li Zicheng and the others were able to quickly reorganize those fighters who had no opinions and conformity, and this was the scene when the team was quickly sorted out in the morning.

But now, the elites under the command of generals such as He Sanjiang and Liu Zongmin have either lost all their strength in the battlefield, or even they have begun to lose their fighting spirit, and when they flee instead, then what will Li Zicheng and them use to reorganize the morale of the team, and what will they use to launch a counterattack with the Hongtang army!!
