Until Li Dingguo, who led the cavalry to retreat, he squeezed over and saw Zhang Xianzhong's abnormal appearance, and immediately said urgently: "What are you doing here?" Hurry up and pull the godfather down. ”

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's generals and personal soldiers woke up like a dream, and Ai Nengqi and others immediately pulled Zhang Xianzhong's horse, hugged and retreated to the rear. And the elite guards around Zhang Xianzhong also fled to the rear with handsome flags in their hands.

In fact, at this time, many people in the peasant army had already begun to flee on their own initiative. The cavalry had already run to the front. And those who were listed as rear teams at the time of the war. Now they turned around and turned into a team that had withdrawn from the ground one after another, and they were congratulating themselves on their luck while speeding up.

And some of the other peasant soldiers saw that their leaders had run to the front, and even the commander Zhang Xianzhong had fled, so they had no confidence in their hearts.

And the cavalry of the Runing Army behind him was constantly approaching, how could this possibly make the peasant army stay calm and retreat in a strict and orderly manner? So the ones behind wanted to run to the front, and the ones in front wanted to run faster, and when someone found out that Zhang Xianzhong, these leaders, had run away with their henchmen, the whole team suddenly couldn't maintain it, as if it was an avalanche.

At first, the small corners collapsed, and then the big ones fell off, zuihou is the collapse of the whole, when the cavalry of the Runing army chased unhurriedly to more than a hundred paces, Zhang Xianzhong's troops had completely disrupted the formation, everyone was mixed together, and they were all running frantically.

Seeing that the pressure was almost over, the deputy corps commander who was running at the front raised the saber in his hand, and his own soldiers also raised their weapons in their hands at the same time, giving the signal to charge.

The deputy corps commander swung his saber forward fiercely, and the cavalry of the Runing Army behind him also tilted their weapons forward in unison, and the movements of so many people were uniform. The horses began to accelerate. Everyone rests on the horse's back as much as possible, so that the horse can run faster.

The sudden acceleration of the officers and soldiers and cavalry made the peasant soldiers who were already running in a panic even more panicked, but now in such a situation, there are people in all directions, and even if they want to disperse to both sides, there is no place to escape. Moreover, this place is a fortification built by the peasant army on the one hand, and a large camp of the peasant army on the other, and there is no open land at all.

Therefore, even if those peasant soldiers on the edge want to escape, their speed will be affected. Their speed slowed down, but the soldiers inside, who were still on the flat terrain, ran as fast as they could, and immediately became crowded and chaotic.

In fact, according to Zhang Xianzhong's old routine, he often places some homeless people in front of the troops, and they can be used as cannon fodder when charging into battle. They can be used as a hindrance when it comes to retreating.

But this time. Zhang Xianzhong is also desperate. The soldiers he placed in the front team were all called in as much as possible for the old battalion soldiers and horses who had combat experience. And these people were the source of the backbone of the peasant army. Therefore, it is lost, and it is very damaging to future development.

You must know that the leaders of the peasant army don't care about the displaced people at all, as long as they want to, there is no shortage of coerced personnel. But those backbones are expensive, and they are actually the foundation of the peasant army's combat effectiveness. As long as the backbone is there, even if the peasant army units are defeated, they can still be pulled back up.

But Zhang Xianzhong's backbone was first damaged by artillery fire, and then he first faced the cavalry of the Runing Army. So for Zhang Xianzhong, this loss is really nerve-wracking!

The fleeing peasant soldiers were already panicked. And the cavalry of the Runing Army first controlled the speed, and then suddenly exerted force, and directly chased after it.

The courage of those peasant soldiers has disappeared. Just now, they may have had the courage to storm the Luning Army's Gun Forest Phalanx and Gun Array. But now, each of them just wants to run, to run to the middle of the line. Let the people behind you fight against the chasing cavalry.

Therefore, one of the decisive factors in winning or losing a battle is courage. When the peasant soldiers lost their courage, they immediately turned from wolves to lambs to the slaughter.

When the cavalry rushed into the chaotic crowd, many did not have time to dodge. It was just a horse crash. And those peasant soldiers didn't even turn around, which made the already chaotic ranks even more uncontrollable. No one thought about turning back and resisting with weapons, they were all desperately drilling forward.

What kind of comradeship, compared to running for your life, is not worth mentioning. When the fleeing peasant soldiers saw someone stopping them, they often took their weapons and slashed down their comrades in front of them.

The cavalry of the Runing Army stretched out their sabers in front of them, as long as an enemy appeared within the reach of the blade, they only needed to adjust the direction of the saber and let the blade gently wipe the opponent's neck, and they would immediately harvest a life.

The cavalry did not need to exert much effort on their own, because the speed of the horses and the combined momentum of the horses were enough to inflict fatal damage on the enemy, so they only needed to control the horses.

However, after chasing and killing a hundred paces in this way, the cavalry of the Runing Army itself was in some confusion, because the peasant soldiers in front of them were too dense, and there was no room for the cavalry to perform.

So the cavalry in the front row also stopped moving, and they just raised their arms and slashed desperately left and right, until there was a gap in front of them, and they stepped forward again.

And the screams of despair were incessant, and those peasant soldiers could not escape quickly because of the crowd and confusion, and in the same way, the cavalry of the Runing army were also blocked by these peasant armies, and could not go forward to pursue them at all.

Those who could run had already run away, and a group of people riding horses in the peasant army were the fastest runners, and they had long since disappeared, which also showed that it was also very reasonable for the peasant army to cherish horses. And the elite who followed Zhang Xianzhong's side also ran away.

And the cavalry of the Runing Army, who rushed to the front, also quickly stopped their horses, because their sabers were a little curled, and their hands were already slashed, and they could only let their comrades in the back row come forward. Everyone's horses and front of them were stained red with blood.

The cavalry of the Runing Army in the back row also tried to increase the speed of their horses and once again rushed into the ranks of the peasant army. The same crash, the same slash. But those peasant troops were still crowded there, not because they didn't want to run, but because they couldn't run away.

After slashing for a while, the cavalry of the second row also moved out of the way, allowing the cavalry of the third row to rush forward. After that, the first platoon of cavalry, which had rested for a while, again threw themselves into the charge ....... (To be continued......)
