The gunners participated in the battle in time, and used grenades to cooperate with the ironclad soldiers, which was able to block the attack of the two wings of Wang Zhirenfang's national security department. The explosion of the grenades was not small, and each grenade was thrown behind the soldiers who were engaged with the ironclads, blocking the follow-up troops from attacking.

Each explosion swept through a radius of several paces, and soldiers within a few steps were either killed or wounded, holding their wounds and screaming at their wounds. Such a terrible situation terrified the soldiers behind them, such a battle was something they had never experienced before. Watching the round thing fall from the sky, exploding and the smoke accompanied by a loud sound, and then several or even more than a dozen people were killed and injured, and no one knew when this thing would fall to their side, this inexplicable fear was so strong that even the most elite family members hesitated and did not want to move on.

With the help of artillery grenades, the ironclads were able to hold the line and protect the flanks of the musketeers. At this time, the morale of Zheng Zhibao's brigade had completely collapsed, and Zheng Zhibao also turned around and fled under the coercion of the family members around him, and the musketeers could finally free their hands to face the enemy troops on both sides.

Tens of thousands of people attacked 3,000 people, and it was naturally impossible to send all the troops, and the battlefield could not accommodate so many troops to participate in the battle.

Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren met and discussed, and decided to leave a small part of the troops under Wang Zhiren's command to flank the two or three thousand rebels, and most of the rest was led by Fang Guoan to bypass the fighting position and attack the river. The army on the riverside was gathering and could be caught off guard and driven them into the river.

However, at this time, relying on the obstruction of Chen Yan's personal guard battalion, half of the soldiers had already disembarked and went ashore and formed an array. Li Yi immediately took the 5,000 people to meet them and killed them with the army of the imperial court.

As soon as the two sides were in a little battle, the troops of Guoan and Wang Zhiren immediately felt a strong pressure, knowing that their own numbers were far superior to the rebels and they took the initiative to attack, but the result was that they were pressed and beaten by the rebels, and those who rushed forward were the most elite families, but even the most elite families were falling behind in the battle with the rebels.

"General! No, the brothers can't hold on, the rebels are not fucking people, everyone is wearing thick armor, and the brothers can't cut it at all! A family member ran back from the front and prayed to Fang Guoan.

Zhu Guobi once scolded Fang Guoan Wang Zhiren's army is called Huazi, in fact, the army of these two people is indeed not much better than called Huazi, ordinary soldiers are in tatters, only the most elite family can wear a leather armor, and the life of the big guy during the time of entering Nanjing is better, at least it can fill the stomach, and the court also purchased some military clothes for them.

However, compared with Chen Yue's subordinates, Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren's armies were not much different from those of Huazi. Jiujiang won a great victory, hundreds of thousands of thieves were defeated, and almost all the wealth that Zhang Xianzhong had collected fell into the hands of Chen Yue, including armor and weapons. Although the equipment of the ordinary thief army is not very good, at least the officers have good armor and equipment, and after the war, they counted more than 5,000 pieces of various iron armors and 15,000 leather armors.

So many seizures made the soldiers who followed Chen Yue back to Nanjing almost every man have a piece of armor, even the most ordinary soldiers. The armor was placed on the ship during the march, and now the two armies naturally put on it early in the battle.

There is a world of difference between the combat power of those with armor and those without armor, not to mention that the army that followed Chen Yue back to the division are all the most elite soldiers, and the combat experience and combat power are not comparable to Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren's army, so it is a matter of course that they can't stand it, but Fang Guoan didn't realize that the combat power of the two sides is so much worse before.

However, he was still hesitating, now that his own forces were several times larger than the rebels, and he was attacking while he was disembarking, if he couldn't win it, then there was really no hope.

"The general can't fight anymore, Zheng Zhibao has already fled!" At this moment, some of his subordinates shouted in horror, Fang Guoan looked back at Huo Ran on the horse, and saw that in the distance three miles away, the Zheng family's army was fleeing, and the two or three thousand rebels who were caught in the flank were turning their guns and began to attack the army commanded by Wang Zhiren.

Zheng Zhibao's 15,000 army was easily defeated by these 3,000 rebels! And under Wang Zhiren's two-sided attack, this has subverted Fang Guoan's imagination. Since Zheng Zhibao is defeated, I am afraid that Wang Zhiren will not be able to withstand it for long, if Wang Zhiren also escapes, he will be sandwiched between the two rebels, waiting for him to have only one way to destroy. Thinking of this, Fang Guoan didn't dare to hesitate any longer.

"The order went down, and ordered Vice General Li to take his subordinates to the top, and the pro-army team was withdrawn for temporary repair." Fang Guoan said.

The deputy general Li Tao was leading his subordinates behind, and his subordinates were naturally ordinary soldiers, and when he heard Fang Guoan's order, he commanded the army forward and replaced Fang Guoan's family team.

When Li Tao personally brandished a broadsword and led his subordinates to bravely resist the rebels' attack, one of his subordinates shouted in horror, "Fang Guoan fled with the Jiading team, everyone run!" ”

In an instant, the soldiers who were fighting dropped their weapons and fled.

"Damn, it's been used as a shield again!" Li Tao scolded angrily, turned around and joined the ranks of the escape.

At this time, only two-thirds of the infantry on board had been dismounted, and at least 5,000 soldiers had not yet disembarked. Li Yi couldn't wait any longer, and commanded the 8,000 soldiers who disembarked to chase and kill him.

Chasing and fleeing the enemy from behind is the most pleasant thing, as long as you catch up quickly and swing the knife to cut down, it is a combat achievement. And once the army has broken and fled, it is difficult to form resistance, because everyone only knows how to escape, and does not seek to completely get rid of the pursuers, at least faster than their accomplices.

Once defeated and fled, he didn't care about anything, he threw away all the weapons in his hands, and even took off his armor while running, in order to reduce some burdens and run faster.

Chen Yan ordered the whole army to shrink and form a dense array, with the ironclad soldiers firmly holding the line outside. At this time, he couldn't care about fighting anymore, because the enemy in front of him had already fled, and the reason why he ordered to shrink instead of chase and kill was that tens of thousands of rout soldiers were pouring in from the rear, and the formation of so many people fleeing all the way was more terrible than fighting head-on, if he was caught up in so many rout troops who were desperately fleeing, Chen Yan was worried that his people would be crushed.

The ironclad soldiers waited solemnly outside, and the musketeers relaxed and timidly put their guns at the fleeing rout, and at this time everyone knew that the outcome of the victory had been decided, and they had won another big victory.

ps: This battle feels very unsatisfactory, and I don't know how to write about wars anymore! ：《
