Zhao Lie stood in the middle of the team, at this time outside the camp of the Ming army, he heard that the front attack was blocked, and he was also returned by the arrows of the Ming army, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a sneer, "At this time, I still want to resist stubbornly, Yang Wenyue really doesn't know whether to live or die!" He summoned several soldiers, whispered a few words, and the soldiers immediately disappeared into the night.

In the north of the Ming army's camp, the Mandate of Heaven Army was blocked by the shield of the Ming Army, although the Ming Army did not have many arrows to fight back, but the body of the Mandate of Heaven Army, how could it block the hard arrows? Visually, at least dozens of Celestial Orders had fallen, and they had to look for any cover on either side of the battalion that could block the arrows in order to reduce casualties.

Yang Wenyue was overjoyed, since the arrows were effective against the Heavenly Mandate Army, why not take this opportunity to drive the Heavenly Mandate Army out of the camp? He ordered the soldiers behind him to hurry up and look for more bows and arrows and shields.

Before the soldiers who went to look for bows and arrows returned, a soldier came to report: "My lord, it's not good, the Mandate of Heaven army is attacking the camp from both sides, and their firearms are too sharp for the brothers to resist......"

"On both sides?" Yang Wenyue was furious, "Go and tell your brothers that with a shield, a shield, the firearms of the Heavenly Mandate Army, you can't penetrate the shield at all!" ”

"My lord, it's too late," the herald said breathlessly, "the Mandate of Heaven has rushed into the camp, and the brothers are retreating......"

"Retreat? How long has it been since the brothers retreated? How did they become soldiers? As soon as Yang Wenyue's words fell, he heard the sound of "bang bang" around him, which was different from the explosion of the artillery shell, and different from the sound of the fire hammer in the hands of the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and he was shocked: "What's the matter?" ”

The screams of the Ming army continued to reach Yang Wenyue's ears, and it was obvious that the casualties of the Ming army had suddenly increased, and this unknown firearm seemed to be even more terrifying than the firearms of the Heavenly Mandate Army.

Yang Wenyue didn't know what kind of firearm it was, and it was even more impossible for his subordinate generals and soldiers to know, but seeing the casualties of the soldiers, Yang Wenyue sent his own soldiers to check.

After a while, the soldier returned, "My lord, the Mandate of Heaven Army threw over one package after another, like gunpowder packets......

"Powder pack?" Yang Wenyue remembered, no wonder the voice was a little familiar, the Ming army would also make gunpowder bags, but the number would not be too large, except for showing off that they were stored in Jingshi, most of them were shipped to Liaodong, and there were few people who had really seen gunpowder bags, and when he went to Jingshi, he saw it once in the firearms battalion of Jingshi.

What to do?

Gunpowder packs are sharp weapons for close-range combat, and their power is greater than that of all kinds of firearms, as long as the Mandate of Heaven can throw them over, the shield can't be blocked at all, so do you want to use corpses to pile up obstacles?

Just when Yang Wenyue hesitated, another soldier came over and whispered: "My lord, the Heavenly Mandate Army on both sides has attacked the camp, and now there is chaos in the middle of the camp......

If you want to die, how can you forget about it? He had already been told that the Mandate of Heaven had attacked from both sides......

Yang Wenyue patted his head with his hand to keep himself awake, the situation is very critical, don't hesitate, the Heavenly Mandate Army here has a powder bag, and the Heavenly Mandate Army on both sides may also have it.

Since the big battalion can't be saved, it's better to withdraw quickly, in case the army still has a backhand, and the troops can't be withdrawn when the time comes, Yang Wenyue didn't delay, and immediately asked the guards to go to the big camps everywhere to give the order: all retreat, go east along the Weishui, and leave Mixian City first.

The Ming army received the order to withdraw and immediately gave up resistance and retreated eastward.

The soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven who were attacking the camp of the Ming army were in hot pursuit, shouting while pursuing.

"Those who descend will not die!"

"Get on your knees with your head in your hands!"

"Put down your weapons, the Mandate of Heaven will not kill prisoners of war!"

……

The defeat was like a mountain, Yang Wenyue hoped to organize the soldiers, resist one by one, and cover the retreat of the main force, but the Ming army had been frightened by the firearms of the Mandate of Heaven, first the mountain artillery, then the Xining rifle, and when the stalemate was deadlocked, it was a powerful powder bag!

The firearms of the Mandate of Heaven are endless, each more terrifying than the other, and the more murderous than the other!

Who would dare to delay a moment in the face of these firearms? If you stay behind the break, it is obvious to die! The soldiers didn't wait for Yang Wenyue to pass out the new military order, and ran away one by one, leaving Yang Wenyue behind.

The soldiers finally found a war horse, Yang Wenyue stepped on the war horse, and the soldiers were already in chaos, knowing that they could no longer retreat in an orderly manner, so they had to raise their horse whips and gallop all the way east, and they couldn't even care about the personal guards.

Zhao Lie chased for several miles, because he was worried that the Ming army in the west of the city would come out to reinforce and be cut off, so he gave up the pursuit, hurriedly collected the troops, and collected the prisoners of war.

Just returned to the camp of the Ming army, and sure enough, I met reinforcements from the Ming army.

The main general of the Ming army stationed in the west of the city knew that the main camp in the south of the city was attacked by the Mandate of Heaven Army, and hurriedly led the army to reinforce it, but Yang Wenyue, the main camp, was defeated and retreated too quickly, they had just arrived at the main camp, and Yang Wenyue's department had fled without a trace, only to meet the Zhao Lie Department of the Mandate of Heaven Army who turned back.

Zhao Lie knew that the reinforcements of the Ming army were only a few thousand, so he did not withdraw his troops, and directly let the soldiers scatter and put up a defensive formation.

The soldiers of the three thousand households quickly dispersed and lined up between Weishui and the south of the city, completely blocking the escape route of the Ming army, and the soldiers of the other two thousand households were used as substitutes to assemble at any time.

In order to combat the will of the Ming army to resist, the twenty mountain guns of the first regiment first opened fire on the Ming army on the opposite side, and the violent explosions, the screams of the wounded soldiers of the Ming army, and the shouts and cheers of the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army......

The soldiers were driven by the officers, braving the artillery fire of the Mandate of Heaven, desperately fleeing eastward, they knew that although the momentum of the artillery was terrifying, it really hurt people but not much, as long as they got close to the artillery and entered the blind spot of the artillery, the artillery would lose its effect.

Sure enough, as expected by the Ming army, the artillery of the Mandate of Heaven Army gradually stopped firing, and even the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army who were shouting just now also collectively lost their voices, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

It was still a vigorous battlefield just now, and it seemed to be silent in an instant, if it weren't for the chaotic footsteps of the Ming army, no one would believe that there were more than 10,000 soldiers on both sides outside the southern city of Mi County.

The empty camp of Yang Wenyue's department continued to burn.

But the Ming army in the west of the city had already crossed the camp, and the fire was behind, and they encountered a blind spot in their vision, and there was a shadow in front of them, and they couldn't see anything.

If you look at this side from a distance, the figure of the Ming army happens to be illuminated by the firelight!

Perhaps knowing that there was danger, the Ming army did not dare to stay, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Mandate of Heaven Army artillery to stop firing, they began to run, except for the dry food on their bodies and the knives and guns in their hands, all the extra items were abandoned.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Directly in front of the Ming army, there was a sudden sound of gunfire, and the soldiers who were running in front suddenly fell to the ground, making a sound of "poof, poof", but it was dark in front, and the soldiers who followed closely did not know what was happening in front of them, and continued to run forward until they were tripped by the soldiers who were killed and wounded on the ground.

"Oops!"

"Mom, it hurts ......"

"What the hell......"

……

On the other side is not a ghost, but the main force of the first regiment of the fourth battalion of the Heavenly Mandate Army, the Ming army who desperately wants to escape, many people have already become ghosts under their guns, wounded soldiers, this will have made a burst of heart-rending screams, more terrifying than the guns of the Heavenly Mandate Army......

In order to escape for their lives, the Ming army had to cross the corpse mountain in front of them, but when they climbed over the corpse mountain, the speed would decrease, and the slower the speed, the greater the possibility of being shot!

No one knows how many casualties this Ming army had, and the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army, with the help of the faint firelight, saw the corpse mountain in front of them, which was at least half a person high.

There were "smart" soldiers of the Ming army, who began to bypass the corpse mountain and break through from both sides, but what they didn't expect was that the soldiers of the three Thousand Thousand Households Heavenly Mandate Army, in front of them, sent three long columns, and two thousand soldiers as substitutes, and they had long been secretly eyeing them.

This road is not working!

The officers who commanded the soldiers on this road, seeing that the casualties of the soldiers in their headquarters were too large, they had the intention of withdrawing and returning to the west of the city......

Now that Yang Wenyue has been safely evacuated, there is no need for them to stay in the south of the city any longer, besides, they can't stay any longer!

It's just that Yang Wenyue retreated with the main force, even if they return to the west of the city, they will become a lone army, will the Heavenly Mandate Army let them go?

Even the main force of Yang Wenyue's army can't defeat the Heavenly Mandate Army, how can they, a partial division, take the Heavenly Mandate Army? I can't think about where I'm going tomorrow, so I'll save my life tonight.

The screams of the wounded soldiers can be heard far away in the darkness, and as long as the fighting does not stop, the casualties will continue to increase!

Just as the officers were discussing the retreat, behind them, suddenly there was a shout, it turned out that the third regiment Niu Kejing had already left the city and copied their back road.

"Those who descend will not die!"

In front of and behind him, there was the voice of the Heavenly Mandate Army, in the darkness, clear and unified, that momentum, at least tens of thousands of soldiers......

The officers were still hesitating, the soldiers had fallen into despair, they had been surrounded by the Heavenly Mandate Army, and the main force of Lord Yang Wenyue had already left Mi County, and they didn't even have reinforcements......

The greatest thing about darkness is that you can't see anything!

"We surrender!"

I don't know if it started with the soldiers of the Ming Army, or if it was secretly induced by the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven, some soldiers have begun to put down their weapons and kneel on the pile of corpses.

Fear is a contagious emotion, and survival is a human instinct!

When fear sinks into despair, human instinct prevails, and at this time, any strict military discipline will be left behind!

The soldiers of the Ming army threw their weapons one after another, held their heads in their hands, and fell to their knees.

The law does not hold the public accountable!

Besides, the soldiers are already in a desperate situation, if they don't want to die outside the city of Mixian, there is only one way to surrender!

The officers did not blame the soldiers who were greedy for life and fear death, let alone punish them, and while everyone was unprepared, they themselves lost their swords and guns, except for kneeling, they were no different from the soldiers.

The soldiers of the Niu Kejing Department, because they had just left the city, were in high morale at this time, but the Ming army surrendered, like a punch on cotton, and they couldn't lift their spirits at all.

Seeing that the Ming army was almost bound, Niu Kejing hugged his fist at Zhao Lie, "General Zhao fought fiercely for half the night, your troops went back to the city to rest first, and you have to go to the east of the city to have a look, maybe we need it over there!" ”

How could Zhao Lie not understand Niu Kejing's thoughts? However, in tonight's battle, the first regiment first defeated the main force of the Yang Wenbu in the south of the city, and now it has completely annihilated the reinforcements of the Ming army in the west of the city.

He generously waved his hand to Niu Kejing, and said with a smile: "Leave the matter of cleaning up the battlefield here to us, General Niu, please, I wish your department new achievements!" ”
