Fang Yuan and Jing Jie were waiting for the next wave of the offensive of the intrusive army in the Chinese army's formation, and the loudspeaker to persuade them to surrender sounded again. When people suffer great physical pain and low morale, their will to fight is most likely to waver, and this is also the best time to persuade them to surrender.

Before, they didn't dare to charge, and they didn't dare to retreat, and a group of old and disabled soldiers lying on the ground in the pile of corpses and pretending to be dead could no longer endure this kind of internal and external suffering, and got up and knelt in front of the Xuanjia Army's military formation, kowtowing and begging for mercy, willing to surrender.

Gan Hui immediately ordered these soldiers to throw away their weapons, and a team of ten people entered the military formation, and then arranged a prisoner of war camp at the rear of the military formation, and greeted them with hot soup and hot steamed buns.

When these old remnants surrendered, Gan Hui suddenly saw that in the camp of the Chuang army, the elite cavalry phalanx suddenly turned around and galloped away in the northeast direction.

He hurriedly got off the lookout and reported the latest battle situation to Fang Yuan.

Changing formations is a taboo for soldiers, Jing Jie was stunned and said, "Boss, Li Zicheng wants to escape!" ”

Gan Hui was eager to make meritorious contributions, and hurriedly said, "Regent, immediately lead the iron cavalry to pursue, and Li Zicheng can't be allowed to escape." ”

Fang Yuan glanced at it, and sure enough, he saw that the cavalry of the intruding army was evacuating in batches. In his opinion, this scene is too abnormal, and he muttered, "Fleeing from the battle, Li Zicheng's standard battalion is not only the cavalry, but also the other slow-moving foot soldiers, as well as the family members of the army, where can they flee?!" The pursuit is not in a hurry, take a look again, what if it is Li Zicheng's plan to lure the enemy? ”

His worries were not unreasonable, Li Zicheng was at a disadvantage on the frontal battlefield, maybe he used cavalry as bait, trying to lure the Xuanjia Army to take the initiative to attack and look for fighters.

Fang Yuan took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "Order a thousand prisoners of the army to come and clean up the corpses on the battlefield, and the army formation will move forward three hundred steps, still maintaining a defensive formation, and must not attack without authorization." Also, don't stop the tweeter, continue to turn on to persuade you to surrender. ”

Since he couldn't see Li Zicheng's movements clearly, he simply responded to all changes with no change. The advance of the military formation is to continue to maintain the battlefield pressure on the invading army, and the loudspeaker is to continue to carry out the offensive war. Anyway, the advantage and time are on Fang Yuan's side, even if Li Zicheng can escape, in addition to the highly mobile cavalry, the whole army will inevitably be wiped out, so why hurry?!

The 3,000 prisoners were escorted by the sergeants to the front of the army, where they began to clean up at least thousands of corpses and carry them to the mass graves that had been dug in the rear, waiting to be burned and buried after the battle.

Because the elite cavalry with the strongest power in the Chuang Army was gone, and the Xuanjia Army had already taken precautions to cross the distance of five or six hundred paces by foot soldiers alone, and Fang Yuan was not worried that the Chuang Army would sneak attack while clearing the battlefield.

After an hour or two, the battlefield clean-up work was nearing completion, and the sentry cavalry who had gone to the front of the battle to investigate hurriedly came to report again, "Regent, Li Zicheng's elite cavalry is gone, but the elite infantry of the Chinese army has moved and is coming towards our army's position. ”

Fang Yuan asked rhetorically, "What about the families of the Chuang Army?!" ”

The sentry replied truthfully, "The Chinese army did not move and did not evacuate. ”

Fang Yuan's previous judgment was indeed accurate, the Chuang army did not want to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, or had any scheme, but there was a serious change in the Chuang army, and he smiled and said, "It seems that the Chuang Army is out of internal strife, it is Liu Zongmin's elite cavalry who escaped, and Li Zicheng's elite infantry is left behind." Li Zicheng is ready to seek benevolence and get benevolence, and he is desperately looking for our army! ”

Since Li Zicheng took the initiative to lead 20,000 elite infantry soldiers to attack as if killing themselves, Fang Yuan could only fulfill his arrogance and personally ordered, "Governor Gan, the whole army is in a state of combat readiness, lure 20,000 elite soldiers into our army's position, and then order Bai Guangen to send out the train battalions on both wings to cut off his way back, and then use the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to destroy the enemy and capture Li Zicheng alive!" ”

Gan Hui took the order and began to wave the military flag to command the big shield position, the fire gun position was ready to meet the enemy, and the Xuanjia iron cavalry and train battalion were on standby.

The Xuanjia army was already in full array, waiting for Li Zicheng's 20,000 elite soldiers to come to the net.

Li Zicheng and Li Guoqin led the sergeants to attack the Xuanjia Army's position again, and Gan Hui ordered the artillery position to stop shelling, but put these two net soldiers into the range of the Xuanjia Shengong, two hundred steps, one hundred steps......

"Bang Bang!"

With a burst of dense gunfire, the last elite of the Chuang Army charged forward frantically against the volley of the Xuanjia Divine Gun, fighting the price of a thousand casualties, and finally killed in front of the big shield of the Xuanjia Army again and began to attack.

The big shield hand of the Xuanjia Army has been exhausted by repeated fierce battles, and it can't withstand the last madness of the army, and the position has been torn apart.

Gan Hui saw that the Xuanjia army defending in front was still inferior, and immediately ordered the sergeants of the fire gun position and the big shield position to move back one by one to the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry phalanx, and Gan Hui was ready to dispatch the most elite Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to give the final blow to the invading army.

When the elite soldiers of the invading army broke through the formation, Bai Guangen led 5,000 train battalions on the left and right flanks to outflank the retreat of the invading army, forming a joint encirclement of the last elite of the 20,000 invading army.

At least 3,000 muskets were aimed at the 20,000 soldiers in the encirclement, and as long as the banner of Gan Hui was unfurled, the first salvo would cause heavy casualties to these soldiers.

Li Zicheng and Li Guo in the battle formation saw that the most elite Xuanjia iron cavalry in front was ready to attack, and the left and right flanks and rear were all cut off by the moving defensive position train battalion, and they also knew that the death of one or twenty thousand sergeants was approaching, but they did not turn back from the bow, and they were already under siege, so they had to fight to the death.

Li Zicheng brandished his sword and ordered the whole army to attack.

The trumpet of the invading army sounded, and the sergeant of the invading army, who had already killed the red eye, clenched his sword again and prepared to make a final charge.

The last time the loudspeaker persuaded him to surrender, it was Fang Yuan who was personally using the loudspeaker to surrender to Li Zicheng and the besieged soldiers of the Chuang army, "King Chuang, I am the regent Fang Yuan, although you and I have never met, I have long admired the name of King Chuang!" Although the army is brave and invincible, but the time and place are favorable, and the people are not on the side of the king of Chuang, the battle between the two armies, the overall situation has been decided, why bother to hurt innocent lives in vain? ”

"King Chuang, take a look at the sergeant behind you, which one is not an invincible army that has been in a hundred battles, and which one is not a brother who has followed King Chuang for many years? King Chuang, take a look at the 120,000 old and weak women and children in the Chinese army, which one is not waiting for his son, husband, and father to return safely? ”

"King Chuang, do you want to continue to fight again?!"

Li Zicheng silently looked back at the soldiers under his command, most of them were already in tears, their parents, wives and children were in the Chinese army, but they still had to carry out this kind of desperate attack, so that their parents, wives and children watched the battle die on the battlefield, which can not but be said to be the most cruel parting.

Even his nephew Li Guo fell to the ground with a sword and sighed, "King Chuang, we lost this battle, you have to charge, I will accompany you to charge." But, spare the lives of 20,000 innocent brothers! ”

Li Zichen wiped the blood on his face, the muscles on his face were shaking slightly, and his lips trembled.

The 120,000 family members in the army formation also dragged their families to the side of the battle array.

Gan Hui was worried that something would happen, so he immediately ordered 5,000 special operations sergeants and 5,000 shieldmen to go and isolate these family members, and they must not be close to the battlefield in a large group, only 100 people, 100 people can enter the battlefield.

A hundred, a thousand family members entered the battle array, crying and screaming to find their families, and the sergeants of the army wept when they saw it, and countless people wailed and cried.

The morale of the army has long been peaceful and war-weary, and Li Zicheng insists on fighting to the end, but he is just using the lives of his brothers to fulfill his reputation.

After a long time, his eyes flashed with a trace of despair, and he threw the Chuang Wang Treasure Sword on the ground heavily, and sighed, "Nephew, you take them to surrender!" I'm self-defeating! ”
