It rained for many days, but today it finally cleared. It's just that as soon as the white miserable sun appeared, it was covered by black smoke and dust. In the wind, the entire Nanjing military camp was burning, and the bright light of the fire and large patches of ash swirled and flew in the air.

The screams of killing and screaming drummed in the eardrums, and the fire and murderous aura made people feel cold in their bones.

The peasant army also knew that if they did not defeat the Ming Dynasty's conquest army and take Chuzhou, what awaited them was the end of the entire army. At this time, they who have always been loosely organized and unwilling to fight a tough battle are desperate.

The army kept moving, and teams of wounded were sent down from the front line like flowing water, and teams of new forces were replenished. In this raid just now, several battalions of peasant troops have been crippled and destroyed.

The soldiers who rushed to the front line didn't know how many knives they had changed and how many armors they had changed

。 The few artillery pieces that existed in the peasant army were also scrapped because of the long firing, and the artillery of this era was not accurate. Just fill the gunpowder into the chamber and ignite it, as for whether or not they can hit the enemy, it is no longer something they should consider.

The entire Chushui was full of dense human heads, and every time a cannonball fell, it could plow out a red and bright blood flower.

"Boom!" There was a cannon that exploded, and it is not known whether it was overfilled or the barrel was overheated.

The base of the cannon rose high into the air, carrying four or five mutilated limbs. A rain of sticky red blood fell, dousing the soldiers below with a bang.

But the killing had completely numbed the soldiers, and everyone wiped their faces casually, shouting and carrying weapons and rushing forward with the crowd.

The weapons shimmered with cold light, and cannonballs and bows from both sides flew overhead.

Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang both stepped forward to the front line, standing under the banner of the Chinese army, their hands tightly gripping the hilt of their knives, and at the same time their eyes fell to the north.

After the fall of Fan Jingwen's banner of the Chinese army, the fate of the Nanjing army was already doomed, and now all they needed to do was to grit their teeth and throw the force they could use into this bloody grinding plate-like battlefield one by one, and drive Nanjing forward until they collided with the Tianxiong army.

Such a tragic battle was the first time for all the generals of the peasant army. This was the first time that they dared to devote all their efforts to a face-to-face battle with officers and men on the battlefield. If you win, you will not only be able to take Chuzhou, but also play a team that dares to fight a vicious battle with the enemy. But if you lose, it's all over.

The defeat of the Nanjing army was actually expected by the two of them, the Ming Dynasty's Weisuo army was just a group of garbage, and the key was the Tianxiong army on the other side of the river. According to Li Zicheng's plan, it was to kill the Nanjing Army first, and use the rout of the Nanjing Army to attack the position of the Tianxiong Army.

However, the key to this matter lies in Li Zicheng's cavalry. If he couldn't defeat Zu Kuan's 3,000 cavalry, even if the peasant army had defeated the Nanjing army and the Tianxiong army, what would happen?

The smoke was too big, and Li Zicheng and them were fighting twenty miles upstream, but they couldn't see it clearly.

In front of him, another group of peasant soldiers was engulfed by the crowd in the pursuit of the Nanjing Army

。

A leader covered in blood cried and was carried back by two guards, and as soon as he saw Gao Zhang and the two, the old tears came down, and tears rushed out of the Taoist trace on his face full of human blood: "King Chuang, Eight Kings, my brother!" The battalion has more than 4,000 elites, and as soon as one charges, it will not be seen. ”

Zhang Xianzhong: "Zhang Miaoshou, what can't you see?" Zhang Miaoshou is one of the leaders of the peasant army in this joint venture, and his power ranks last among the battalions.

Before Zhang Miaoshou could speak, another leader ran over crying: "King Chuang, Brother Zhang, it's too chaotic, it's too messy, no matter how many soldiers are thrown in, it will be swallowed up in an instant." The old brother I brought from Shaanxi has lost all of his losses here, let us take it down, there are people running crazy everywhere, even if Zhao Zilong comes here, he will be trampled to death. ”

Zhang Xianzhong: "What should I do, He Shuangquan, it depends on your success." I think that in Shaanxi back then, you were also a good man admired by everyone, why did you cry like a girl today? ”

Gao Yingxiang, who had not spoken, opened his mouth and said, "Brother Zhang, Brother He, how many people do you have left now?" ”

Zhang Miaoshou and He Shuangxi said at the same time that there were still about a thousand people left, and the other soldiers didn't know where they were swept away by the crowd.

Gao Yingxiang said softly: "You have all seen what the situation is on this battlefield, it is too chaotic, even if you want to gather the troops now, it is impossible, so it is better to go back quickly and lead the troops forward to kill." Otherwise, when the battle is over, if you get prisoners, you will first be given a replenishment of troops, and you will be left to take the captured materials and equipment. ”

He Shuangxi's heart moved, and he arched his hand: "Brother Gao, I can trust you, so be it!" ”

But at this time, Zhang Miaoshou shouted: "King Chuang, if it is a weekday, what do you say, my brother will naturally agree." However, if I were to be asked to fight again, it would be impossible. That's right, you promised to give me the reinforcement when the time comes, and I naturally believe you. However, the thousand or so men under my command are the backbone of the army, and if they were all lost here. In the future, even if you make up 100,000 homeless people, it will be useful for me. ”

Speaking of this, tears flowed from his eyes again: "Brother Gao, these more than 1,000 people are all the soldiers that Lao Zhang and I brought back from Fengxiang, you leave some blood and bones for our Fengxiang camp, let's withdraw it!" ”

When he cried like this, the other peasant army leaders under the banner of the Chinese army were all in their hearts, and only then did they realize a serious problem. Now the war has been turned into a mess, although the Nanjing army has collapsed on the whole front, but there is still the Tianxiong army there. In such a big decisive battle, both the enemy and us will fight hard, and when the time comes, everyone will be in a mess, and the casualties will definitely not be small

。 Gao and Zhang are powerful and hurt their strength, but we have to break our muscles and bones, and we don't know when we will recover.

The sound of the wind, screams, and fighting came in bursts, and everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Miaoshou, and no one spoke.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, what do you want me to say about you, what does this battle mean to my rebel army, don't you know, why are you so confused!" Gao Yingxiangrui's face was distressed.

"Brother Gao, just let me take a breath!" Zhang Miaoshou licked his dry lips, and was about to beg.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light.

Zhang Miaoshou's head jumped high into the air.

Gao Yingxiang slowly withdrew his waist knife, with a heavy face: "Brother Zhang, for the sake of our righteous army, for the future of tens of millions of brothers, Gao Yingxiang can only be sorry for you." When this battle is over, Gao Yingxiang will definitely go to your grave to kowtow and make amends. ”

After speaking, he turned back to Zhang Xianzhong and said, "Brother Zhang, it's almost, no matter what happens to Brother Li's side, we will attack with the whole army." ”

Zhang Xianzhong didn't speak, jumped on his horse, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking!" ”

********************************************************

At this moment, Sun Yuan couldn't do anything, so he could only be caught in the flow of people and keep walking mechanically to the east.

Although the order to retreat had been given, and although the order had been given to keep the non-commissioned officers in formation, more than half of the troops were recruits, and these people had only been trained for about ten days, so how could they not panic in the face of such an unprecedented defeat.

"Defeated, defeated!" Countless people are shouting.

"Steady, steady!" The middle and lower rank officers were screaming hoarsely, but to no avail.

The strikingly long spears were set up in a mess above their heads, and some of the soldiers had already thrown away their weapons. The ground and feet were full of round pebbles, and they were stained with human blood and river water, and they took one step and slipped three steps, and many of them fell down like this, and could not stand up again.

Even if Sun Yuan was in good health, if he hadn't been surrounded by more than a dozen guards, he was afraid that he would have died inexplicably in this chaotic footsteps

。

His heart was so cold that he almost lost consciousness.

To tell the truth, as a time-traveler with insight beyond this era, he can be regarded as Qi Jiguang's first-class figure in how to train soldiers. However, he has no opinion on judging the situation on the battlefield and how to deal with such a major crisis as the one at hand.

The whole head was numb, and I don't know how long it took, the unevenness under my feet disappeared, and when I looked closely, the team had trekked across Chushui to the east bank.

There was still a mess in front of me, panicked faces everywhere, soldiers running around everywhere.

Strange to say, not only did the men and horses of the Ningxiang Army not decrease, but they were surrounded by a lot of chaotic troops, and the formation became bloated and huge.

It's easy to think about, compared to Nanjing's other guards who have become headless flies, Sun Yuan's Ningxiang army can still remain intact. So, like a magnet, it constantly attracts other stragglers. After all, people have a herd mentality, especially in the face of such a big rout, it is natural to crowd where there are more people, as if the more people, the safer.

As far as Sun Yuan could see, there were at least ten troops of different formations mixed into his ranks. The arms in the army were also disorganized, there were sword and shield men, pikemen, musketeers, and some people shouted with their empty hands.

When it was even more outrageous, there was a child-like firearm in the crowd.

"It's over, it's over, half a year's hard work, invincible elite soldiers, are you going to be lost here?" Fei Hong's eyes were full of tears.

Zhu Xuanshui, who was beside Sun Yuan, also looked depressed, and suddenly raised his knife and slashed at the soldiers who were pushing a bee: "Rabbit cubs, rabbit cubs, who called you over, who told you to squeeze in!" ”

His eyes were blood-red and looked like madness.

Human blood sprayed into the sky like a spring, and the swarm of bees fell to the ground with a thud, and the fireworks inside were scattered all over the ground.

Sun Yuan also bit his lip tightly, and a wisp of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth: Could it be that the Ningxiang Army is finished like this, is it that my Sun Yuan is finished like this, no, never, never!

The waist knife is drawn from its sheath.
