Chapter 495: The Great Rout

Originally, the Ming army rushed to the south again and again, but finally opened a hole, and the army poured out, ready to cross the trench.

Crowded on a narrow front to fight to the death, no matter how desperately urging, the low wall in front of it is standing still, I thought this was a dead end, whether it was the soldiers or generals in the front line, they were a little discouraged, the Shun army suddenly couldn't support it, and withdrew to resist.

The crowding of Fang Cai and the sudden appearance of the vast space in front of him made the minds of many soldiers relax a little at once, thinking that the space was vast and the chances of escaping were greater.

This kind of relaxation is absolutely fatal, and the cavalry of the Shun army, which has been gathering momentum for a long time, attacked at this moment of relaxation and gave him a head-on blow.

When people are nervous, hunger, fear and that kind of panic will be covered up, and they can also wave their swords and shout loudly to fight, but as soon as they relax slightly, the whole person's breath will suddenly be discharged, and the feeling of hunger for a few days will become more and more obvious after the intense exercise, the space in front of him is much wider, and the desperate mind will fade down all of a sudden.

At this moment, the cavalry of the Shun army was put in, and this cavalry almost combined all the Shun army horse teams except for Tian Jianxiu and Er Liu.

It can be said that the cavalry essence collected by the entire Shun army in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the backbone of the troops recruited after the successive victories of the Ming army, were all put into it.

With such a big force, the entire team really seemed to be pushed over as if the sky was falling apart, they were all veterans, and they knew that to maintain the deterrence of the formation, the Ma Army Brigade seemed to be a wall.

The entire contingent of the Ming army had completely dispersed after running a few hundred steps across the boundary of the trench, how could such a scattered array fight against the organized cavalry.

What's more, the soldiers of the Ming army are all in a state that has slipped and deteriorated rapidly, and they have long been frightened in the face of this thunderous power.

How can the infantry fight against the cavalry, and in such a state, seeing this, there are no soldiers of the Ming army with weapons to fight, anyway, now the formation has been scattered, and the gap between them is very large, even if they turn around and run away, they will not be able to move because of the crowding.

can have the choice of turning around and running, who will take the initiative to fight hard, almost as soon as the cavalry of the Shun army is launched, the posture of the Ming army hula running forward has changed immediately, and the person who runs in front turns his head and rushes to the back, and the Shun army has invested too much strength this time, covering the entire front of the battlefield.

Pushed over so tightly that the Ming soldiers didn't even have room to run to both sides, and the entire team turned around and fled from front to back.

It was as if a big wave of the sea had been swept up and was rushing forward violently, when suddenly a stronger wind blew in front of you, and the wave rolled back in the direction from which it came.

Although it is impossible to happen in the real situation, the current scene on the battlefield is like this, and the Ming soldiers who were still rushing forward in a hurry are all retreating back in a panic.

The safest passage is the 500 steps of the trench filled with soil bags and human lives, which is almost flat land, but everyone wants to go there, the battlefield is vast, the current Ming army is scattered, the news before and after is not smooth, the front team of the brigade fled backwards, but the rear team just moved forward, and the front team pushed.

It is easy for one person to turn around, but it is difficult for the entire army to turn around, and the filling place of more than 500 steps suddenly became a pot of porridge, pushing each other, and it was already a knife and gun, in a short time. No advance or retreat.

The cavalry of the Shun army was very well controlled, and the previous cavalry with the trumpet did not increase the speed of the horses, but maintained a constant speed.

The cavalry with the trumpet flag is like a baseline, and all the Shun army horse teams are moving with the cavalry with the trumpet flag, all as one, without any gaps, running forward, squeezing the rout of the Ming army and retreating in the direction they came.

The space on the battlefield was gradually squeezed by the horse team of the Shun army, and it became smaller and smaller, and not everyone had the opportunity to retreat on that narrow passageway.

There are also trenches on both sides, and a large number of soldiers jumped down regardless of it, and they can jump down and climb to the other side, so that they will not be trampled into mud by the cavalry, but the trenches of the Shun army are dug very deep, and if they jump down, it is almost impossible to climb up from the other side, but a large number of people are still trying to find a way to survive on this side of the deep ditch.

Even if you are sober and know that this deep ditch is dangerous, but near the edge, it is already quite crowded, and if you don't jump, the people behind you will push you down.

The person who jumped into the ditch first caused people to fall or fall down at that depth, but there was no chance to stand up at all, and they were soon stepped on by the latecomers, and then someone jumped down.

The people at the bottom couldn't even scream, they were trampled to death there, and they jumped down sporadically at the beginning, and with the approach of the Shun army's horse team, the whole team was directly trapped, and the Ming army's front became closer and closer.

People go down into the ditch as if they are falling, some people jump off their own initiative, and some people are pushed down by their peers.

At this time, the spirit of the Ming soldiers really collapsed, if someone in front of them refused to move forward and blocked the way for their escape, it was a knife to cut down, the pace of the companions in front was a little slower, the same was a knife down, sometimes even if the companions in front did nothing, the same was to cut down.

Kill all the people in front of you and clear the way, so that you can escape faster, but the place where you have to run back is not the death place where you have to fight desperately just now to escape?

The trench quickly became shallow and flattened, the Ming army trampled on each other, and there were countless casualties, and the ravine was finally flattened, allowing the army to pass calmly.

The battlefield is crazy dead people, but the rear team is also crazy killing, He Renlong, Bai Guangen and Xu Dingguo, the three general soldiers, are all desperately shouting on the horse.

"Don't retreat casually, resist, resist, retreat soldiers will be killed!!"

Not only shouted, but the elite soldiers who were ready to run together all went forward, slashing and slashing without their lives, and under their persecution, the rear soldiers who felt that something was not good were also turning around in fear.

But this scene lasted for a short time, after the trench was filled by the dead and wounded Ming soldiers, the retreating Ming soldiers rushed towards the back.

The Ming army, which had been nesting in the back team, finally understood what was happening, and looking at their companions who suddenly became like enemies, everyone did not have the courage to continue fighting.

The Ming army was still able to maintain its formation and formation, but under the pressure of its own defeated troops and the Shun army's horse team, it collapsed one by one.

The faces of the three general soldiers who thought that the breakthrough had been successful just now quickly turned from joy to fear, this time it was completely over, and the core cavalry of several of them combined was less than 7,000 people, under the impact of such a large-scale rout, it seemed to be a small boat in the middle of a huge wave, and it was about to capsize at the slightest bump.

The pro-soldiers who slashed and blocked the enemy gradually could not withstand the impact of the rout, and the soldiers on the periphery and the periphery began to be dispersed by the impact, and the casualties gradually increased.

Shaanxi General Soldier He Renlong watched the situation become more and more uncontrollable, and his face changed from ruddy to white, from white to iron, and finally couldn't help but yell:

"Withdraw, withdraw, go to Gao Jie's side.

After shouting, regardless of the turn of the horse, ran in the direction of the north, the main general ran like this, the pro-soldiers around him reacted sensitively and galloped wildly with the horse, the supervisor Hou Sui and the rest of the general soldiers all reacted similarly, and when they saw He Renlong's movements, they all followed unequivocally.

This is a complete failure, but this side can't stand it, and when Gao Jie, who has the worst strength, can it be at most long, but people ask to live, it's nothing more than to be able to live for a while, who can take care of this, run over first.

The main general and the pro-soldiers who supervised the battle withdrew to resist and ran directly to the north, and the formation of the entire Ming army was even more chaotic.

However, most of the people can still react and follow the main generals to run towards the north, maybe there is still a way to live, but at this time, the Shun army is no longer so slow and leisurely chasing.

A long section of the trench had been filled, and the horse team began to cross the trench without hindrance, and the banner cavalry leading the way in front could be seen, all of whom were desperately turning in circles with the banners in their hands.

Seeing this signal, the horse team, which had been rushing forward in a formation side by side, began to gradually disperse, and began to speed up the horses, and the cavalry all raised their swords and axes in their hands.

Facing the Ming soldiers who were running around on the battlefield, the Shun army was only facing their backs, as long as they cut down the knife and axe in their hands towards the vital point.

The cavalry of the Shun army was slashed and killed like this, and the chaos of the Ming army increased a few points, and the cavalry of the Shun army was always unable to run at speed, and the Ming army was blocked in front of it, and the speed of slashing and killing could not provide space for the dispersion of the large army.

But this is a process of acceleration, and the cavalry of the Shun army slashed and killed the Ming soldiers who fled, as if they were practicing slashing, and it was extremely easy.

Rows of Ming soldiers were cut down like chopping melons and vegetables, and the cavalry of the Shun army rushed into every gap in the array that could rush in, and no soldiers wanted to turn back to resist and fight, everyone wanted to run forward, and if anyone in front of them was in their way, they would also cut it over.

Not only the Shun army is killing, but the Ming army itself is also killing, the horse team of the Shun army gradually spread on the battlefield, and the Ming army on the battlefield broke out from the beginning of the brigade, and began to become divided and surrounded by the horse team of the Shun army, divided into small teams, and then surrounded and annihilated.

Naturally, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, would not rush forward with the brigade to kill, but the scene on the battlefield was completely according to his plan, and the strategist Song Xiance beside him looked at his face, bowed down on the horse, and congratulated:

"The prince is overjoyed, and great things will come true."

The battlefield on the opposite side has become a slaughterhouse......
