Chapter 494: Facing the Blow, Filling the Trench with Human Lives

The infantry of the Ming army, who had been rushing forward since they got up in the morning, were actually gradually exhausted, and the low wall was already equivalent to the line of death for them.

Until now, no one has broken through the low wall, been crowded to the front by the teammates behind, and then died tragically, such a battle is fruitless, who wants to go to the front to die like this.

But the urging behind is a wave of tight waves, the slightest pause here will make the people behind cut and kill, can not advance or retreat, from the beginning of the battle to the present, it is no longer a person who has a mental breakdown and shouts there, running around, and finally being killed by his companions.

Suddenly, the defense that seemed to be an impregnable wall was empty, and the soldiers of the Shun army, who had been shouting and fighting just now, suddenly withdrew like a tide.

This situation was so sudden that the Ming soldiers who had been advancing couldn't help but stay, and the entire front, except for the non-stop filling on both sides, the position of the fighting attack was completely quiet, and what made them recover was the push of their companions behind them.

As soon as the "supervising team" in the back shouted and scolded, the Ming sergeants in front of them reacted violently, all of them let out excited shouts and howls, and rushed forward in unison.

The low wall piled on the edge of the trench soon collapsed under the trampling of these Ming soldiers, and the front line was broken through like this?

Many Ming soldiers had this question in their hearts, but this question also flashed in a flash, and they immediately became excited, had a chance to live, ran forward, and rushed forward.

The entire large queue of the Ming army, from front to back, the entire brigade is desperately accelerating forward, this is a torrent of tens of thousands of people, looking unstoppable, can break all the obstacles in front of it.

The excitement is also spreading from front to back, everyone is spreading their legs and running forward, lest they run slowly and be thrown off by the army, the attack just now has fully demonstrated that the righteousness of this comrade is nonsense, yesterday was still stirring in a big pot of comrades-in-arms, will kill people because they are a little slower.

Although the morale of the soldiers in the Ming army was extremely low, they could barely maintain a formation, each with officers under their command, to use an analogy, the entire large array of the Ming army was like a big lake, the main formation led by several general soldiers was the wind, and the front of the Shun army was the embankment.

The wind constantly urges the lake, setting off waves of large waves to beat the embankment, the embankment is firm, and the water accumulated on the embankment is more and more, and the waves are getting bigger and bigger, and the momentum of the accumulation is also greater.

Suddenly, the levee disappeared without a trace, and the energy of the lake's accumulation had nowhere to vent, but to rush forward desperately.

Originally, the two sides were clogged up on the front of about 500 paces, and it was crowded, but suddenly the obstacle in front of them was lost, and everyone ran forward.

Before the retreat of the Shun soldiers, there was a rush of bows and arrows, which had slowed down the momentum of the Ming army slightly, taking advantage of this slowdown, a distance was opened between the two sides, and the soldiers of the Shun army hurriedly fled to the other side, and the Ming army needed to charge in the battle, and the Shun army only needed to hold on.

The physical strength of the Shun soldiers is much more sufficient than that of the Ming soldiers, and it is easy to open up the distance when retreating like this, and it is impossible to catch up in a hurry.

Leaving a rather spacious space for the Ming soldiers, coming out of the narrow bottleneck of five hundred paces, the queue of the Ming soldiers suddenly dispersed and rushed forward as far as possible.

Fangcai's battle was already a battle to the death, and suddenly the front vacated a place, and the Ming soldiers and soldiers all felt a little relaxed, although they still had enemies in front of them.

On both sides of the 500-step trench, there was still some way to go to fill it up, and the crowded soldiers were moving forward, and people were constantly being squeezed down from above, including those on both sides who were digging and filling the trenches, and they were all carried down in the ditch by the sudden rush of the army.

No one can take care of them anymore, in the hearts of the Ming soldiers, this deep trench is a boundary of death, beyond this trench is life, but this trench is death.

Everyone rushed forward, no matter how wide the formation was, they had to pass through the section of more than 500 steps, narrow, and then rush through the deep ditch, and the team widened again.

The troops who were already in a panic could not be contained, and the running of this distance made the troops that were still in some formations completely chaotic, and the generals could not find the soldiers, and the soldiers could not find their companions, everyone was running with weapons, and there was no discipline and no system.

Originally, observing the situation in the front, the cavalry who gave orders back and forth marched through the gaps between the queues, but in the face of such a general situation, they were already blocked by the soldiers who rushed forward in a chaotic manner, and they could not advance or retreat.

The three general soldiers of He Renlong, Bai Guangen and Xu Dingguo, who were in the back to supervise the battle, were all in a daze, thinking that they thought it was a difficult breakthrough battle, but how could they be knocked on so easily.

Watching his troops rush forward in a completely unorganized manner, everyone did not feel relaxed in their hearts, but felt a little ominous.

The chaotic queue of foot soldiers rushed through the trench, and the Ming soldiers did not stop and rushed straight ahead......

I don't know if it's a mistake in the arrangement or what, the main formation where King Chuang is located is six hundred steps away from the side of the trench, and when Yuan Zongdi's front team is fighting there, the rear team will definitely delay time if they want to give support, and a veteran like Li Zicheng would make such a mistake.

In front of the queue of the Chinese army, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, could not see any expression on his face, but Li Shuangxi, the leader of the guards on the side, was nervous, and his hand held the handle of the knife and let go.

On the side of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, it turned out to be a cavalry horse team, and there were no foot soldiers in sight, this time the main force of the Shun army was all concentrated in this area, and there were almost more than 40,000 elite veterans who could be called elites, and such cavalry combat power could also be called terrifying.

Li Zicheng watched the soldiers of the Ming army running closer and closer, the whole queue became more and more scattered, raised his arms high, and with the raising of King Chuang's arm, the soldiers holding the banner began to shake the banner, at this moment, the entire Shun army cavalry array began to get nervous.

The Ming army in front shouted and moved forward in chaos, this sound almost drowned out all the sounds, but the horse team array of the Shun army, except for the waving of the flag, there was no movement, and the silence was terrible.

This commotion is already very telling, and the horses under the crotch of King Li Zicheng are a little restless, and they have obviously felt this tense atmosphere.

Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse suddenly quieted down, it was said that it was a complete success at this time, but he didn't feel a little excitement in his heart.

Li Zicheng's arm finally waved down, and the cavalry holding the big banner drove their horses one after another, rushing straight forward, and these cavalry immediately rushed out towards the front.

The speed of the cavalry with the flag was not fast, they only trotted out of the formation, but when they moved, the sky fell apart, and most of the Shunjun horse team, which had been gathering momentum there, began to move forward.

At the beginning, the rhythm of the horses was controlled, only the rumbling of hooves was heard, and the large array moved forward slowly, and the front of the Shunjun horse team were all leaders and generals, and they had to control the speed of the entire team.

There was nothing too special to move, the speed at the beginning was slow, and the overall speed slowly accelerated, rushing towards the Ming soldiers in front.

At a distance of 600 paces, the soldiers of the Ming army only rushed through more than 300 steps, and the remaining distance was enough for the cavalry of the Shun army to speed up.

As the speed increased, the hooves of the tens of thousands of Shunjun horses began to drown out all the sounds on the battlefield, and the ground of the entire battlefield began to shake.

The Ming army rushed through the trench, and the mind of the death match was already a little lax, and the Ming army array, which still had some appearance, completely ran away. But the horse team of the Shun army is recuperated and ready to go.

Rushing out at this time, it was when the Ming army was the weakest and most chaotic, as if it was hitting a snake on the seven inches, and this blow was extremely fatal.

The Ming army, which was running and rushing, was already unable to restrain its footsteps, and they had no way to form an effective formation to fight, or even disperse to avoid the impact of the cavalry.

They have no way to go in any other direction than forward, because they will be pushed to the ground by those behind them, and if they fall to the ground, they will be trampled to death by their companions.

They also saw the overwhelming cavalry rushing over, the people in front wanted to slow down, but the people behind were pushing, and the chaos was already happening at this time.

Without any intermediate obstacles, the cavalry of the Shun army collided with the infantry of the Ming army, and some of the infantry of the Ming army at the front were directly knocked out.

What's even worse is that he was hit and fell to the ground, and was trampled to death by the cavalry behind before he had time to get up, such a collision and screaming lasted for a while, until the Ming sergeant brigade that rushed over finally reacted, and the front could not rush, and the front was the thousands of troops and horses of the Shun army, and the only way to survive was to retreat.

The Ming soldiers who rushed forward and retreated collided with each other, and the whole scene became a mess, and the cavalry of the Shun army kept impacting the array of the Ming army.

The cavalry of the Ming army were all on the side of the main general in the rear, and the fighting units of the Ming army were also in the rear, and the infantry in front faced the attack of the Shun army, and there was no resistance at all, so they could only retreat.

The battlefield was densely packed with soldiers, and the people in the rear of the Ming army didn't even know that something had happened in front of them, and when they didn't react, the momentum of the entire army changed from forward to backward.

Many of the Ming soldiers on the edge of the trench didn't have time to react, so they were squeezed down the trench, and the area of 500 steps that was filled up, where the Ming army was crowded into a ball, and they couldn't move, and the trenches on both sides of him were constantly pushed down, and some even took the initiative to jump down.

The trench that had been filled with so much effort quickly became shallow, and all the people in the trench were corpses......
