Chapter 792: Great Victory (II)
Jun Pei shook weakly, but the momentum of the rout had already formed, and no matter how good Zong Zhixin's command was, he could not contain the momentum of the collapse. In fact, no one pays attention to his flag mark anymore, and only retreats with all his heart.
Because he integrated his own team and rested in the back to recover his strength, now on the front line, the main force is still those fake widows. The discipline of this cadre is too weak, and once he collapses, it is very difficult to contain him, and even if someone wants to fight, he sees that everyone around him is running, so he can only start running.
The pirates were able to hold their ranks in long-range firearms battles, but their morale had dropped severely due to the continued firepower. By the time the officers and troops launched a white army battle to charge, there were too few teams that dared to fight. In the past, pirates used the real widow as a hand-to-hand combat team, and the others followed behind and took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill. Now the real widow was transferred to the rear by Zong Zhixin to rest, ready to be used as a killer weapon, and the front line is full of fake widows, and when it comes to white-knuckle fighting, it can't be maintained.
As soon as the momentum of the collapse broke out, it could not be contained, and even though the Overseer team killed some people, the army still retreated frantically. Li Zongyun shouted, "I am Li Zongyun, Li Zongyun who can't be killed!" "With his own guards as the backbone, the flags are everywhere, and the pirates are almost invincible.
Originally, among the pirates, there were also people who secretly believed in the Heavenly Concubine Sect, passed on information for Leng Feishuang, or made some small moves with the government. Now these people are starting to take the lead in fleeing and surrendering.
Even if the other pirates did not join the Heavenly Concubine Sect, their hearts gradually moved, not only for fear that they would fight and become substitutes for other forces, but also worried that Xu Yang would flee first after taking their own people in the end. I don't know which troops will suddenly flee or surrender, and in the end they can only flee first as respect, or raise their hands to surrender.
In the final analysis, the rabble is a rabble after all, and if you fight with the wind, you can still exert a certain combat power, and when it comes to the headwind, you don't have much hope. In particular, they have not been trained in battle formations, lack the courage to fight white-knuckle battles, and it is okay to shoot from a distance, but when they reach the close-quarters white-edged battle, they are no match for the main army.
The big banner with the family crest of the clan fell to the ground weakly, the big Bodhisattva flag of the Yellow Eight Hata was trampled on it, the pirates shouted and scattered and fled, when surrender and escape became the trend, the whole team could not be controlled. Although Zong Zhixin transferred the Zhenwei who were resting in the rear in time, he couldn't contain this momentum, and they could only meet the officers and soldiers.
However, the new army that is rushing up now is far above Taiyong in combat effectiveness, and as soon as the remaining Zongjia infantry starts in formation, the Ming army on the opposite side has already pushed over with a spear phalanx. The two and a half guns and the spears of the officers and soldiers stabbed each other, and the birds bombarded each other, and the Japanese army was obviously at a disadvantage. The gap in strength and morale, even these elites of the sect are being pressed and beaten.
However, Zong Zhixin and his subordinates, like saviors, stood in the way, but bought time for the other pirates, and everyone ran towards the beach in unison, as long as they got on the boat, they could be safe. From the battlefield to the beach, flags, armor and even weapons can be seen everywhere along the way. Some pirates threw down the gold and silver they were carrying, hoping that they would be able to run farther away when the officers and soldiers picked up the gold and silver.
The ranks of the Ming army did not seem to have been affected much, some of the Ming army and Zong Zhixin's men and horses were torn together, and the other part of the men and horses bypassed the battlefield and pursued closely. The pirates didn't run long before they met with the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty, and without saying a word, the two armies fought together.
The size of this reinforcement force is not large, with only one division and only 500 men. However, they were not intimidated by the number of pirates, but unhurriedly spread out their formation, and used the vehicles as a barrier to form a combat camp to deal with the pirates. The pirates were outnumbered, but they couldn't bite this small line of defense even after gnawing a few times, and their casualties gradually increased.
This side has not yet reversed, the pursuers have arrived again, there are flags floating in the distance, guns and cannons are ringing, it is obvious that the reinforcements of the Ming army are not only this group, they are rushing from different places to encircle and suppress the pirates. At this time, Xu Dong, who was embarrassed, fled with dozens of his subordinates, two thousand erlang, and now he can control less than a hundred people.
"Uncle, let's go, there is an ambush among the officers and soldiers. There are many officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers in Ningbo City also have to come out to help. If we stay here, we will be dead. ”
Xu Yang didn't have time to ask, why Ningbo was defeated so badly, in fact, his side was the main force that had achieved this virtue, and his nephew had lost the battle, but it was fair. And the news he brought made Xu Yang even more frightened, there were ambushes in the official army, and there were sailors, and now even the fleet was not necessarily safe.
The shouting and killing sound was higher and higher, and the sound of the golden drum was loud, as if Zong Zhixin's resistance did not play a big role. At least for Xu Yang, the official army is not less at all, the officers and troops on all sides are still besieging him, and the huge strength of the pirates does not reflect any advantage at this time, but because everyone did not cooperate closely in the past, and they can't count on it when it comes to fighting a tough battle, but they are fighting to surrender.
Xu Yang's subordinates in the headquarters finally threw their lives to cover Xu Yang's uncle and nephew to break through, and Xu Dong even took off his uncle's uniform in three or two and put it on another pirate. "My Xu family treats you well, now is the time for you to repay the favor, do you know what to do?"
"The villain understands, I only ask the leader to take care of my family!" The pirate who pretended to be Xu Yang sorted out the crown himself, drew a single knife, and led the men and horses to break through outside the encirclement of the official army, while Xu Dong escorted Xu Yang with dozens of dead soldiers and rushed in the other direction.
"Dong Zai, don't you want to go back to our ship?" Xu Dong himself does not have any good martial arts, plus he is old, although his spirit is good, but his physical function is average. It was all up to Xu Dong to carry him on his back to escape from this battlefield. Due to the large number of soldiers and horses, it was impossible for the officers and soldiers to block the road, so they still crashed out, but the direction they went was getting farther and farther away from the dock.
"Uncle, our ship can't go back. When I went to meet you, I found that our great ship had been seized by the officers and soldiers. There were also boats that caught fire, and those who went to the docks were just dead. Now we can only wait for the people of the Southeast Family to help us escape, if they don't help, then drag them to die together! ”
"It's over...... It's all over...... Our everything. When Xu Yang heard this, he seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and muttered weakly. Xu Dong shook his head, "Uncle, don't think so, as long as people live, there is everything." When you came out at the age of fifteen and broke into the docks, you didn't have anything, but now we have everything. As long as we return to the sea, we can pull up the team again and make a comeback! We must avenge this revenge! ”
