"Big ...... Great Knight! The Rostov commander turned his head and glanced at the surrounding guards and noble generals, and ordered with a cloudy face: "Let's go, and when he rushes over, we'll be finished!" ”

A descendant of a great nobleman who came over to gild next to him replied puzzled: "My lord, even if the leader of this group of rebels is a great knight, thousands of infantry can consume him alive, if we escape without permission at this time, the Rostov regiment will be gone......"

The Rostov commander sneered and glanced at the person who spoke, pointed to the battle situation not far away, and said: "Look at the appearance of those defeated soldiers, except for the big knight who slightly blocked the advance at the beginning, how many people are fighting?" ”

Commander Rostov-on-Don's words suddenly woke up the surrounding noble generals, and they took out their monoculars to look at the battle situation.

Sure enough, it was not so much that Shu Zifeng killed all the way, but that wherever he hit, which piece of foot would collapse on its own......

The Rostov regiment had just experienced a defeat, and the soldiers had obviously lost the faith of decisive resistance, not so much fighting as perfunctory orders from the officers, no wonder the opposing side broke through so smoothly with a hundred cavalry!

As soon as the morale of the army is scattered, even the troops composed of veterans are no different from ordinary mob armies, no one wants to intercept the enemy cavalry, you push me to let me only know how to save my life, how can this fight?

The opening that Shu Zifeng broke was like a needle piercing the only remaining breath in the hearts of the remnants of the thousands of defeated soldiers, and the armor on Shu Zifeng's body that could not be broken made the Rostov soldiers even more discouraged to the point of despair.

Naturally, they were reluctant to go any further and die, and after losing the allegiance of a large number of junior officers and small and medium-sized nobles, there were very few people who even suppressed these soldiers.

The commander of Rostov can be regarded as a traditional aristocratic general who has fought old battles, how can he not see that the fighting spirit of the Rostov regiment has dissipated at this time?

In this case, of course he is not willing to stay here to die, this group of rebels is from a reckless background, according to Shu Zifeng's past 'black history', even if the nobles fall into his hands, it will not end well.

Abandoning the army and fleeing alone will be liquidated by the Moscow City and the Duma Council of Nobles, and even lose the qualification to lead troops, but it is better to save your life and go home as a wealthy lord, which is 10,000 times better than dying on the battlefield.

Compared with the small and medium-sized nobles and knights who have a simple style of life and are unable to maintain a luxurious life, the pampered nobles still cherish their lives, because they have a thick foundation and are defeated!

Soon, the commander-in-chief of the Rostov regiment was abandoned, and the commander of Rostov led a group of generals of the descendants of the great nobles, riding on well-bred fine military horses, all the way away.

Rich nobles will not treat their equipment badly, especially the war horses used to save their lives, which is the best of the best, as long as they are not surrounded by enemy troops, it is very convenient and fast to run.

This is the reason why it was difficult to capture the heavyweight nobles in the previous wars, of course, if a large number of cavalry teams chased to the death, there was still a great hope of catching up, but unfortunately, these nobles were of little significance to Shu Zifeng, and he had no extra cavalry to do this kind of thing.

As soon as the commander of the Rostov regiment fled, the remaining soldiers who were still pretending to lose their last restraints, and when the news of the Rostov commander and the upper noble generals running away spread throughout the army, the whole army did not need Shu Zifeng to attack, and they scattered and collapsed in a hurry.

Shu Zifeng was covered in blood, looking at the defeated army of Rostov who were scattered and fleeing, he couldn't help laughing and holding up the horse lance: "Victory belongs to us!" ”

The remaining heavy-armored guards who followed behind Shu Zifeng raised their sabers in their hands with excitement on their faces and cheered, they did not chase down those defeated soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit, because there was still a battlefield behind them that needed them.

Interestingly, the retreating troops led by Commander Rostov were all scattered, but the mercenaries of the palace, who were quite numerous, still insisted on fighting, forming a phalanx commonly used by mercenaries, setting up a tenacious defensive formation, and fighting with the warrior battalion and the leading musket team, and both sides paid an untold price of casualties!

It can be said that if Shu Zifeng hadn't scared Commander Rostov away, the rear troops of this mercenary army would have been able to survive until Commander Rostov led the remnants of the army to escape several miles away and completely disengage from the enemy army.

The reason why the mercenary palace troops suddenly became so capable of fighting is very simple, they are afraid of death!

Mercenaries have their own command system, and the leaders of the mercenaries are all respected veteran soldiers, with very high prestige, they may release water in order to preserve their strength, and they will even smear oil on the soles of their feet when the war situation is unfavorable, but the only thing these leaders will not do is to abandon their comrades who have been fighting with them for several years!

Compared with the noble generals who are high above, these mercenary leaders are undoubtedly more humane, and they also know better what it means to be a brother who can hand over their backs to each other!

Therefore, according to the different organizational composition of the mercenaries, these royal troops were divided into separate military formations, but the resistance was very tenacious, methodically repelling the onslaught of the warrior battalion and the leading musket team, and gradually retreating backwards.

The mercenary formations from different regions are all veterans who have experienced the battle formation, and they cooperate with each other to defend under the common enemy, and they are fighting impressively, which is what the real elite army looks like in this era!

Just as the two sides collided with each other to create corpses, Shu Zifeng's men took the captured Rostov regimental flag and threw it in front of the troops behind the mercenary palace who resisted.

"Your commander has fled, the Rostov regiment has perished, lay down your arms and surrender, I can keep you alive."

The soldiers on both sides were temporarily separated because of Shu Zifeng's arrival, and Shu Zifeng's people opened their throats and shouted to the mercenaries who still had more than 2,000 people.

Soon, a representative from the mercenary palace came out of the rear unit and replied in a loud voice: "We admit that we have been defeated, but we do not believe in your credibility, we hope to leave this land and can guarantee that we will not participate in this war again." ”

Shu Zifeng touched his nose a little unpleasantly, his deeds of pulling prisoners of war into the Xiandeng camp as cannon fodder may have spread throughout the entire Muscovy......

"It seems that this routine will have to be changed in the future, and now it is so difficult to even surrender......"

However, Shu Zifeng obviously will not let go of these mercenaries who are still combat-ready, and those who can survive until now are all the elites of the mercenaries, let them go, God knows if these mercenaries who don't want their lives will be rehired by the wealthy Moscow principality and sent over to play with themselves?!
