More than 10,000 troops walked on the road north of Qingshan Town, in the fields, the helmets were crooked, the flags were upside down, panicked like lost dogs, if it were not for the military uniforms worn by the soldiers and the weapons held by a few people, it was impossible to judge whether it was a refugee fleeing the famine or an army.

In fact, most of these people used to be exiles, but they took up arms and turned into an army, and the defeat and escape had been experienced many times by all the soldiers of the Western Army, and whenever they were just past the officers and soldiers, they would flee in this way.

It's just that now the escape is really a little panicked, many soldiers in order to escape faster dropped their weapons, took off their armor, under the crazy attack of the Ming army, 30,000 troops can escape alive from the water village to get rid of the Ming army to chase less than half.

When an army loses its morale, it will not dare to resist even the weakest enemy, and all it can do is to flee.

Zhang Wenxiu walked at the front of the team with a sinking face, and there were only more than 100 people left in the original 3,000 elite guard battalion around him, and most of the others died when they went out of the camp to attack the Ming fleet.

Since he was ten years old, he began to rebel with Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Wenxiu has experienced countless such scenes for more than ten years, and has been defeated and chased by the official army countless times, and this failure is nothing. What really frightened Zhang Wenxiu was the powerful firearms of the Ming army!

Who has ever seen hundreds of red-coated cannons firing at the same time, powerful enough to split mountains and rocks? Not to mention the hundreds of other artillery pieces and rocket firebolts covering fire, the entire battlefield and the entire camp were completely covered by the Ming army's firearms, and their own men had been killed and wounded before they had even met each other, who could still muster the courage to resist at this time?

In the torrent formed by artillery shells and lead bullets, no matter how brave a soldier is, he is only flesh and blood, and the armor on his body cannot give much protection, and the battle is no longer won by who fights bravely, after all, swords, guns, bows and arrows are far from being able to compete with large-scale firearms!

Zhang Wenxiu realized that the Ming army in front of him was completely different from the outside, and perhaps from now on, the battle would enter a different mode, and the battle would be more powerful than whose firearms were more powerful, rather than whether the number of soldiers dared to fight and fear death.

It turns out that this is the army of Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi in the Ming Dynasty, and it turns out that Chen Yue's previous achievements are true!

At this moment, Zhang Wenxiu's heart was full of frustration, because he didn't know how to face this situation, if he met Chen Yue's army again, how to fight, how to win?

The Lord was frustrated, and the soldiers who fled were even more depressed, and they were glad that they were alive after too many of their comrades and too many relatives had died in the battle.

After fighting for half a morning, they fled from the water village in a hurry, and they didn't have time to bring anything, and now it was past noon, and everyone was hungry, but they didn't dare to stop, because they were afraid of being caught up by the Ming army.

However, what are you afraid of, the Ming army behind has not yet chased, but the way ahead is blocked!

Li Yi took the Ming army to cross the lake mouth by boat at dawn to reach the west bank of Poyang Lake, and after more than an hour of marching, he moved to the predetermined battlefield, from Qingshan Town to the official road of Jiujiang City, and then buried the pot to cook and rest for a while, and the defeat of the Western Thieves was late.

Li Yi's subordinates had 1,000 elite Dongfan troops and 10,000 Beijing battalion soldiers allocated to him by Chen Yue. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the Beijing camp is not good, but most of the elite of this thousand Dongfan army are veterans who have been following Chen Yue and a small number of Zhoushan fishermen, the soldiers of the first battalion are equipped with two Franc machines, 36 tiger squat guns, and 600 muskets captured from the Dutch, and the remaining 3 or 400 are artillery shield bearers and pikemen, which is already a unit mainly composed of hot weapons.

With this thousand elites as the core, plus 10,000 Beijing battalion auxiliaries, and the Beijing battalion soldiers have been strengthened by battlefield discipline, there is a special supervision team composed of soldiers from the Suppression Division, knowing that failure to flee will be severely punished. Such an army will naturally not have a problem dealing with more than 10,000 defeated soldiers.

However, Li Yi did not order an active attack on the soldiers fleeing from afar, but ordered his subordinates to take the lead and block the thief army's road to Jiujiang. All of the Tiger Squat guns had been loaded, and they waited for the thieves to come within range before attacking.

Seeing the Ming army suddenly appearing in the distance, the fleeing thieves suddenly stood up and looked at each other, and Zhang Wenxiu's heart was full of despair. The fact that Ming Jun can suddenly appear here shows that he has long been in the other party's design.

In front of them are tens of thousands of enemy troops who are waiting for battle, and their own side is more than 10,000 defeated soldiers who are deserted and cannot escape in formation, can they break through the Ming army's blockade and return to Jiujiang?

"General Funan, the pursuers have reached the rear three miles!" Just when Zhang Wenxiu hesitated, a subordinate hurriedly came to report that the pursuers of Qingshan Town had arrived three miles behind him.

There are chasing soldiers in the rear, and there is a strong enemy in front, and for the more than 10,000 Western army rout, it has reached the end of the road!

However, in this case, it aroused the ferocity in Zhang Wenxiu's bones, making his eyes red.

When he was a teenager, he suffered from famine and his family starved to death, and he survived at the age of ten thanks to Zhang Xianzhong's adoption, sixteen or seven years of hard conquest, from Shaanxi to Shanxi and Henan, from Nanzhili to Jiangxi, Huguang and Sichuan, these more than ten years followed the footsteps of his father-in-law Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Wenxiu's footprints traveled all over most of the Ming Dynasty, in order to just kill a way out, in order to overthrow the corrupt rule of the Ming Dynasty!

Today is at a dead end again, let me fight this last one again, and repay my father-in-law for more than ten years of nurturing grace with death!

"Dangchang" pulled out the sword at his waist, and Zhang Wenxiu pointed his sword forward: "Brothers, follow me to fight a bloody road and fight with the dog officers and soldiers!" As long as we rush out of the interception of the officers and soldiers in front, we can reach Jiujiang City safely! ”

"Fight with the dog officers and soldiers!" More than 100 guards around him also raised their weapons to follow in the footsteps of the main general.

"Fight with the dog officers and soldiers!" More and more Western army routs are crying out in despair!

Instead of surrendering and waiting for death, it is better to fight, as long as you can break out of the interception of the front officer and soldier array, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide in the future!

Under the leadership of Zhang Wenxiu, more than 10,000 Western troops gathered up their last courage and rushed towards the array of the Ming army in front. In exchange, it was Li Yi's sneer.

"The grasshopper shakes the tree, and it is not self-sufficient!" Li Yi raised his arm high, waited for the thief army to enter the range of the tiger squat cannon and swung it fiercely!

"Boom, boom, boom" Thirty-six tiger squat cannons were fired one after another, and countless projectiles were like the sickles of death and overwhelmingly rushed towards the rushing thief army.

Zhang Wenxiu, who was at the forefront, felt a shock to his body, as if he was stung by countless wasps, his heart was broken, and the strength of his body disappeared at once, he knelt on the ground with difficulty, looked down, and saw that more than ten holes appeared on his body, and the red ones flowed out along the holes.
