Tong Guan ordered the Chinese army to gather in formation and stand ready for a counterattack.

However, in ancient times, there were no wireless communication devices, and drums, gongs, lanterns, and flags could only convey simple commands, and they were also prone to deviations.

Therefore, it is also necessary for the herald to ride a horse, or run, and communicate more accurate orders to the generals who lead the troops along the way.

The army was stationed, usually ten or fifty soldiers living in a camp.

Tens of thousands of troops are stationed, and the camp can occupy an area of several miles, tens, or even hundreds of miles.

In such a large place, it will take a lot of time for this military order to be fully delivered.

In addition, the armor of the Song Dynasty weighed sixty or seventy pounds, and who would wear such heavy armor to walk and work in normal times.

Tonight the officers and soldiers were defenseless, and they all took off their armor and slept.

Now hearing the rapid sound of drums and gongs, as soon as they woke up, they hurried to find their armor, put it back on, ran outside the camp tent to assemble their units, and then ran to the Chinese army as ordered.

It's hard to do it without more than half an hour.

In ancient times, if you broke through the pass on a single horse, hundreds of people and thousands of people dared to break into the barracks of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands.

In fact, as long as they are fast enough to rush over before the enemies gather and line up, then they only need to face a small number of enemies in many cases, and some can even fight more and less!

Of course, there are risks, if you can't rush through in a short time, then you will be surrounded by the enemy's heavy army, and you will definitely die.

Because of this, Tong Guan strictly ordered Liu Yanqing to hold on and wait for the Chinese army to gather and counterattack.

But Liu Yanqing was completely frightened now, and he only had one thought in his mind now, that is, to escape, and get as far away from the dangerous earth-shattering thunder as possible.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers had fled, Shi Jin was also relieved when he was excited.

There are not many firearms left, and if they don't escape, the Liangshan army can only fight to the death and defeat them.

Although Shi Jin believed that the Liangshan army could do it, it would inevitably bring a lot of casualties.

Now that the officers and soldiers have finally fled in fear, Shi Jin will not let go of such a good opportunity.

Shi Jin shouted loudly: "The whole army is killed, and the enemy must not be allowed to escape!" ”

Hearing Shi Jin's order, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Liangshan Army launched a charge towards the front army of the officers and soldiers.

The Liangshan army was in hot pursuit, but those who dared to stay and stubbornly resist, the Liangshan army would never be soft and resolutely eliminated. They must not be given the opportunity to organize and resist.

Seeing those who stayed was tantamount to death, and those officers and soldiers no longer dared to stay.

Now they don't dare to hope for any victory, they just want to escape from the battlefield as soon as possible.

The officers and soldiers hurried back to the gate.

The gunner, who was still fiddling with the catapult, heard the screams and turned to look up.

Seeing that the front army had been defeated, they were running towards this side at a rapid pace.

Those gunners were more trained in firing guns on weekdays, and they rarely trained knives and guns, but now seeing that the front army had been defeated, the gunner in charge of the catapult threw down the rope in his hand, turned around and ran, running faster than the soldiers of the front army.

The officers and soldiers of the front army also quickly crossed the gate of the camp and ran towards the Chinese army.

The Liangshan army easily occupied the gate of the camp, Shi Jin asked Yan Shun to take a small group of soldiers to guard the gate of the village, and the other soldiers of the Liangshan army continued to chase and kill.

Liang Shanjun chased after him like a pack of fierce wolf dogs, driving the officers and soldiers towards the Chinese army.

Liu Yanqing panicked, he didn't realize what kind of suffering his rout and escape had brought to the army.

Outside the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Tong wore armor and rode a horse to organize the soldiers to gather in a hurry.

But the assembly of the great army, there is so easy, let alone at night.

The officers and men on the left and right flanks are still rushing to the middle camp, and now there are only 10,000 soldiers in the entire Chinese army, and they are still in a mess.

When Tong Guan was worried about the affairs of the Chinese army, the Feilong General Yumei rode a horse and ran quickly to the Chinese army, and whispered in Tong Guan's ear: "Lord Minister, Qin Ming's house is wantonly setting fire to the rear army camp. Now there are fires everywhere in the Houjun camp, and the soldiers of the Houjun are frightened by the fire, and the morale of the army is very unstable. General Xin Xingzong was busy organizing people to put out the fire on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to pacify the panicked soldiers, and he couldn't spare too many manpower to exterminate the gang of thieves. He sent for the Prime Minister to send troops to support him. ”

Tong Guan heard it and shouted angrily: "I'm still busy gathering troops and horses here to deal with the Liangshan bandits, where is there anyone to support, tell him, no matter what method he uses, I must suppress those thieves!" ”

When Yumei was just about to call someone to give the order, Bi Sheng, who was shouting loudly to order the soldiers to line up, looked up and saw Liu Yanqing leading their subordinates to run towards the Chinese army in a panic.

Bi Sheng shouted screaming: "Lord Cardinal, it's not good, the front army has been defeated, and they are rushing towards this side!" ”

Tong Guan was taken aback when he heard this, and shouted, "Damn, Liu Yanqing is a big deal for me." Quickly give the order, let those defeated soldiers run from both sides of the army, and dare to rush into the Chinese army! ”

But when his order passed, Liu Yanqing's troops had already rushed over.

The Chinese army, which had not yet lined up in formation, was immediately dispersed by Liu Yanqing's front army and became extremely chaotic.

If a soldier can't find his general, he won't be able to find his own soldier!

Many of them were still wrapped in deserters and had to run backwards.

Seeing that everyone was running backwards, some unknown officers and soldiers also unconsciously ran backwards.

Shi Jin, who was heading towards the officers and soldiers, saw that many officers and soldiers were fleeing backwards, and Shi Jin immediately shouted: "The officers and soldiers are defeated!" The officers and soldiers were defeated! ”

Soon, the other leaders shouted: "The officers and soldiers are defeated!" The officers and soldiers were defeated! ”

For a while, the Liangshan army shouted in unison: "The officers and soldiers are defeated!" The officers and soldiers were defeated......"

Originally, when they heard the rapid sound of drums in the middle of the night and were urgently called to gather, the officers and men were a little panicked.

Now I see so many people running away, shouting everywhere that the officers and soldiers have been defeated, and the thieves are coming!

They were completely panicked and couldn't help but turn around and run.

Countless people fled backwards, and now even some people can't run away if they don't want to.

If they dared to stop, those who fled would knock them down and trample them to death.

Like an avalanche, surrounded by those who fled, everyone had to flee desperately.

Now the officers and men have become frightened birds, and they are all busy running away.

Don't talk about the cardinal at this time.

If anyone dared to stand in the way of their escape, the terrified officers and soldiers were afraid that they would directly slash him to death.

His own soldiers and horses collapsed, and Liangshan's gang of thieves were killing this side again, and Yumei hurriedly shouted: "Lord Minister, now that the soldiers are in chaos, there is no way to organize soldiers and horses to deal with the thieves." Let's rush out first. Get rid of the enemy and regroup! ”

Tong Guan saw that now the officers and soldiers were scattered, and there was no way to continue to resist, so he shouted fiercely: "Retreat!" ”

"Yes!"

Yumei and Bi Sheng each led hundreds of their own personal soldiers, and cooperated with Tong Guan's personal soldiers to rush out of the encircled crowd and escort Tong Guan to escape.

Shi Jin rode on the tall red horse of the hot coal, and Shi Jin saw Tong Guan running away and hurriedly shouted: "Traitor Tong Guan, where are you going to escape?" Hurry up and die! ”

The other leaders also shouted: "Hugh the sect and leave Tong Guan!" ”
