Chapter 45: The Strange and Painful Battle Results

The Ming army did not notice the enemy quietly approaching, and still dismantled the camp unhurriedly and prepared to pull out the camp.

The eight thousand black-armored cavalry led by Ran Wu were not discovered by the scouts of the Ming army until they reached three miles away from the Ming army's camp. Because of the cover of the darkness before dawn, the black-armored cavalry was almost in front of them, and these scouts found out and hurriedly released a warning shot.

Those who can become scouts are generally the elite of the army, and these Ming army scouts are also brave, and after releasing the warning shot, not only did not run away, but rushed towards the enemy, trying to buy a little time for the battalion to react.

Ran Wuli ignored it, and a team of 100 people separated from the brigade and met the Ming army scouts with more than a dozen horses. And the brigade did not stop at all, but accelerated the speed of the horse and continued to rush to the Ming army camp in silence.

The soldiers of the Ming army who heard the warning raised their heads and looked at the sky in a daze, most of them had not yet reacted to what was happening, and the night's sleepiness made these soldiers' heads a little blank.

As soon as Hong Chengchou was dressed neatly and walked out of the big tent, he heard the screaming sound of the sound in the distance, and his heart sank, and the most feared thing finally happened.

He now understood why the enemy had not attacked all night, and they were waiting for this moment, for this time when they were completely defenseless, and were pulling out their camp, and were in chaos.

Hong Chengchou was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack!" Stop pulling out the camp and line up for defense! ”

As soon as Hong Chengchou's words fell, he saw countless black-clothed and black-armored knights rushing out of the darkness, thousands of war horses flying in all directions, trampling on the ground, making a dull sound, and rushing towards the Ming army camp with an indomitable momentum.

Many Ming soldiers watched this scene blankly, obviously not figuring out the situation yet.

The formation of 8,000 cavalry galloping horses can really be described as covering the sky, more than 30,000 horse legs galloping endlessly, more than 30,000 horse hooves hitting the ground, even if the horse hooves are wrapped in cloth, the sound is rumbling like thunder, sweeping in, making people frightened.

This vast and incomparable formation finally woke up the Ming soldiers who were in a daze. Many of the recruits shouted, threw down their things, and instinctively fled to the middle of the camp with their heads in their hands.

Along with the 1,000 people who fled backwards,

And the core area of the big camp was the five thousand veterans who were hearing Hong Chengchou's order and trying to start forming a formation to organize defense.

Although these veterans are veterans, they have dealt with enemies of the level of Liukou, when have they faced such an overwhelming cavalry charge formation, many people were also frightened, and the movements of the formation were much slower.

The recruits and civilians who were rushing backwards just rushed over, and with such a rush, the formations that the veterans had not yet lined up were rushed to pieces in an instant.

Some officers and generals roared angrily, and they split more than a dozen routs in a row, but they still couldn't stop the pace of these new recruits and civilians from fleeing.

The entire camp of the Ming army was in chaos, and there were soldiers fleeing everywhere. Even if the generals who are willing to reorganize their teams cannot find their own soldiers, and the soldiers are like headless flies without the command of the generals.

Seeing this scene, Hong Chengchou's heart sank completely. In this situation, even if he has the ability, he is powerless.

He knew that the battle had been lost before it had even been fought.

At this moment, his heart calmed down, he sighed, walked back into the big tent behind him, and sat behind the handsome case, his face was unusually calm.

The commander of the pro-soldiers rushed in and said urgently: "My lord, the enemy is fierce, there is nothing to do, my lord should go, my subordinates will protect my lord to escape!" ”

Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I won't leave." You take your brothers and run for your life, I, Hong Chengchou, are sitting here, waiting for the enemy to come, I just want to see what kind of army this is, how I can make my 10,000-strong army collapse before fighting. I'm not reconciled. ”

"My lord, this is not the time to be confused, my subordinates will definitely protect my lord and kill him. If you don't leave, it's too late. The commander of the pro-soldiers hurriedly persuaded loudly.

"You don't need to persuade again, the official has made up his mind. You take your brothers away, go to the overseer, and say that I, Hong Chengchou, am incompetent, and I have failed his cultivation and love. Remind the Inspector that this battle is more auspicious and less auspicious, and the enemy's strength is beyond the strength of our army, so it is the best policy to retreat from the army. Hong Chengchou shook his head firmly.

The commander of the pro-army still needs to be persuaded again, but Hong Chengchou is silent.

The commander of the pro-soldiers wanted to leave with Hong Chengchou, but Hong Chengchou picked up the long sword in front of him and crossed it around his neck and said coldly: "If you don't leave, this official will die in front of you." ”

Seeing that he was so resolute, the commander of the pro-soldiers had no choice but to stomp his feet in hatred, turn around and rush out of the big tent.

Soon, there was an overwhelming shout of killing outside, mixed with the desperate roars of the Ming soldiers and the screams of the blades.

The eight thousand black-armored iron cavalry were divided into three conical arrays, and they swept into the Ming army camp like three black winds.

The horse rejection deer in front of the Ming army camp has been put away, only the trench that is not wide remains, and it cannot stop the momentum of the black-armored cavalry surging over like a sea tide.

Not to mention that the army has long been without effective defense at this moment, even if they are lined up in a phalanx at this moment, they will not be able to resist the surprise attack of these eight thousand iron cavalry.

Ran Wu originally thought that there would inevitably be a fight, and even if he could win in the end, he would pay some casualties.

But he didn't expect that before the real battle began, the Ming army had already collapsed. They haven't caused much damage to the Ming army, but the Ming army trampled on each other, and the casualties caused by cannibalism because others blocked their way to escape were already jaw-dropping.

Is this battle going to end before it is fought? Ran Wu looked helpless, more of an egg pain.

It's like when a person swings his fist and is about to give a heavy blow to the opponent in front of him, the opponent suddenly has a heart attack and faints, which makes people full of fighting spirit turn into depression.

However, the momentum of the eight thousand iron cavalry charging formation has already risen, and it is impossible to stop now, so they have to continue to rush over.

The three cones charged and killed one back and forth, and the battle was all over. In addition to a small number of corpses in the Ming army camp, the rest were Ming soldiers who knelt on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, and bowed their heads everywhere.

Less than half an hour had elapsed between the launch of the charge and the end of the battle, and the battle ended in such an unbelievable and strange way.

The victory in this battle was simply not easy, which made all the cavalry of the Jiang family army under Ran Wu very depressed.

Damn, Lao Tzu froze in the forest all night, just waiting for a good kill today to move his muscles. What's the matter with you bastards, you didn't fight yourself before you were beaten, what the hell is this called?

In short, although this battle was a big victory, for the soldiers of the Jiang family, none of them felt a sense of accomplishment, so they looked at the Ming soldiers kneeling on the ground and did not have a good face, which frightened the Ming soldiers even more.

"General, catch a general of the Ming army, call himself Hong Chengchou, and say he wants to see you." An adjutant general rode over and said to Ran Wu.

"Let's go, let's see." Ran Wu was stunned, but he didn't expect Hong Chengchou to not run, nodded and rode his horse to follow the deputy general.
