The chariot formation was arranged at a distance of about one hundred and twenty paces behind the top of the slope. And behind the chariot, all the more than 4,200 cavalry of the rebels gathered.

The Ming army in the middle was charging in a straight line, and the Liaodong army was charging from the right to the middle, and the two Ming armies were about to converge in the middle, but they were directly facing the arc front of the rebel chariot formation. By the time the charging Ming army found the chariot array behind the fleeing rebels, they were already less than fifty paces away from the chariot array.

"There's an ambush!" The Ming army who rushed to the front shouted. The Ming army was in a big mess and stopped one after another.

However, with the Ming army behind him pushing, it was impossible to turn around and run away at this time, and even the Ming soldiers who stopped were involuntarily pushed forward. Therefore, the Ming army in the front row could only find in horror that they were getting closer and closer to the chariot array.

However, the rebel chariots still did not fire, and some of the outlawed Ming soldiers simply let out hoarse shouts and did not want to run away again. They quickened their pace and charged forward, thinking of rushing into the chariot formation with their lives and fighting their way out.

The rebel charioteers were all very composed. They remained calmly silent until they had put the Ming army within twenty paces.

"Fire!" The rebel military attache commanded, and then all the guns on the tank let out a dull firing sound, which was the rebel artillery firing shotguns.

A large piece of iron sand flew forward, tearing the Ming soldiers who rushed to the front to pieces, and then the firing of the fire gun began. Along the arc of the chariot array, the Ming soldiers in the front row kept falling, and the open space cleared in front of the chariot array became larger and larger. And the open space was full of fallen Ming soldiers.

The rebels' musketeers have prepared four or five loaded haode muskets, and behind the musketeers. There were also assistants nervously loading gunpowder and bullets in the guns. Therefore, the firing of the firecracker is continuous.

The Ming army behind the slope did not know that the Ming army in front had suffered a heavy blow, but they still crowded forward, scrambling over the top of the slope and rushing into the death zone.

And at this time, the rocket on the combat vehicle was launched. Rows of rockets fluttered in the air. It should be said that the rockets unique to the Ming army are quite poor in terms of accuracy, and no one can guarantee them when the rockets are launched. Which direction will this rocket shoot.

However, the characteristic of the rocket is that it can shoot a large number of arrows in a short time, and with the thrust of gunpowder, the strength of the arrow shooting is particularly strong. So, the rockets of the Ming army were especially suitable for being in the crowded crowd of the enemy. And the current situation just gives full play to the power of the rocket.

And the performance of the Ming army was like going forward and sending them to death. Screams and frightening voices came and went. Qiu Lei's Ming army in the middle of the road, because it was facing the chariot formation. So the casualties suffered the most. And the Liaodong Army ran a diagonal line. The distance is also relatively long, so their casualties are relatively small. However, in this short period of time, the Ming army lay down more than 1,800 soldiers in front of the chariot array.

Gradually, the momentum of the Ming army stopped. Knowing that there was a chariot array in front of the Ming army in ambush, he thought about retreating behind the top of the slope.

But. Will the rebels let them go? After a sharp whistle, behind the chariot formation, all the 4,200 cavalry assembled by the rebels were divided into three groups. Rushed out.

A group of 500 cavalry rushed to the Xiangyou wing and attacked the Ming army on the left flank led by the commander-in-chief Yang Yufan. A group of more than 1,000 cavalrymen lined up in an array and went straight, taking advantage of the situation to cover the Ming army in the middle who turned around and fled. And the largest number of more than 2,700 cavalry killed their left flank, to completely defeat the Liaodong army.

And with those cavalry, the more than 6,000 old Liao troops that Kong Youde put behind for a day to rest also followed his cavalry to attack together. And those old Liao troops ignored the Ming army on the left flank of the general soldier Yang Yufan, because Kong Youde believed that a flank attack with 500 cavalry would be enough to defeat the Ming army.

The old Liao army was divided into two teams, a team of 2,000 people attacked the Ming army of Qiu Lei in the middle road, and a team of 4,000 people killed the Liaodong army. It can be seen from here that Kong Youde has paid too much attention to the Liaodong Army. He thought that the elimination of the Liaodong Army would mean that the victory in the Battle of Huangxian had been completely achieved.

The rebel cavalry who rushed out of the chariot formation did not rush to pursue, they quickly lined up in formation, drove their horses and walked briskly, like a wall, pressing towards the fleeing Ming army. And with the trampling of the horses' hooves, the heart-rending shouts of the wounded Ming soldiers lying on the ground were much quieter.

The rebel charioteers, seeing their cavalry attacking, did not care about the empty artillery and muskets, and raised their arms and shouted in victory.

Kong Youde's handsome banner was set up on the hillside behind this gentle slope, and when he saw that his pursuing cavalry was about to cross the top of the slope in front, he clenched his horsewhip, raised his chin triumphantly, and said, "We have won!" ”

And Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, who stood on the watchtower, experienced the mental journey from great joy to great compassion. When they saw that the Ming army had defeated the rival rebels and rushed over the top of the slope with great momentum, they all thought that the Ming army had shaken hands with the goddess of victory.

But then the sound of artillery and gunfire could be heard in the distance, and they could not help but worry about the uncertain battle behind the slope.

But after a while, the Ming army retreated one after another, and Zuihou's retreat evolved into an escape, and the formation of the Ming army was also wiped out in the flight. When they saw a neat queue of rebel cavalry on the top of the slope, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian's hearts both sank to the bottom of the valley at once.

And the Ming army rushed to escape, causing chaos in the formation, this is the rhythm before the defeat! Gao Qiqian couldn't stand anymore, and he said to Zhu Dadian: "Lord Governor, the battle situation ahead is unknown, let's go downstairs and command the battle." ”

Gao Qiqian certainly refused to stand on the watchtower now. He will run to his guard and ride on his horse. In the event of a major defeat of the Ming army, he would be able to flee in time. However, Gao Qiqian did not leave Zhu Dadian behind, so he beckoned Zhu Dadian to go down to the watchtower together.

But although Zhu Dadian was born as a literati, he was also well aware of the disadvantages of the current battle situation. But he wasn't willing to give up at this time. Suddenly, Zhu Dadian's ruthlessness came up: "Lord Supervisor, please take care of yourself." But Ben Fu has his own measure, Ben Fu should stand here and take a look. ”

Seeing that Zhu Dadian disagreed, Gao Qiqian no longer persuaded each other and went down to the watchtower alone.

Although Zhu Dadian is not very good at fighting, he also understands: if he, as the commander, escapes from the watchtower now, then the entire Ming army will collapse immediately. And the situation of the war will also reach the point of being out of control. But the current Ming army and Wu Shigong and their coalition forces have not moved, and Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian also have a guard force of about 7,000 people around them. And if these two forces are pressed up, there may not be no chance of turning over.

So Zhu Dadian stood on the watchtower and shouted to the captain of his own soldiers: "Go and inform Vice General Liu to come forward to support, and you and the others will also gather together and come forward to fight the traitors together." ”

Gao Qiqian heard Zhu Dadian's order, and he was very disapproving. He thought that Zhu Dadian was completely crazy. At this time, Gao Qidive rode on a horse and dragged it far away in Zuihou.

Because Gao Qiqian thought that his actions were quite rational. After all, he was known in the inner court as a knowledgeable soldier, and he had great authority in judging the victory and defeat of the battle.

At this time, the cavalry of the rebels had also rushed over the top of the slope, and they immediately let go of their horses, sprinted side by side, and killed the fleeing Ming army.

The fleeing ranks of the Ming army were even more chaotic, and the soldiers gathered together, all fighting for the forward as much as possible, allowing themselves to run as far as possible. At the moment of crisis, the ugly side of human nature appeared, and some Ming soldiers slashed and killed the Ming army in front of them with knives, trying to kill a way for themselves to survive.

But how can a man outrun a horse? The rebel cavalry, which had sprinted up, suddenly rushed into the fleeing crowd of the Ming army, picked up the blades in their hands, and harvested the lives of the Ming soldiers who fled with their backs to them.

And Wu Shigong and they have also experienced complex psychological fluctuations. The allied military attachés in the back were okay, and they didn't know much about the battle of the Ming army in front. But Wu Shigong, who was at the forefront, clearly understood the real battle situation.

Like Zhu Dadian, Wu Shigong also thought that the Ming army was about to win at first. He also squeezed forward with the Runing battalion for dozens of steps, thinking about how much he would grab some loot after the victory.

However, Wu Shigong quickly restrained the soldiers of the Runing battalion and stopped, because he also heard the sound of artillery and guns shooting behind the slope. And what was more advantageous than Zhu Dadian was that Wu Shigong was closer to the battlefield, so he also faintly heard the screams of the Ming soldiers.

The battle situation ahead was definitely unfavorable, but before Wu Shigong could give the next order, he saw the Ming army rushing over the top of the mountain retreating in a panic. After a while, a neat line of rebel cavalry appeared on the top of the hill.

And with the rush of the rebel cavalry, the entire Ming army in the middle also collectively turned backwards and fled to the rear with the strength of milk.

"Attention! Don't be swept away by those Ming troops! Wu Shigong immediately shouted, "If they get close, don't be soft, shoot immediately." The masturbation is also more closely arranged. ”

For the fleeing Ming army, experienced soldiers would definitely not flee in the direction of Wu Shigong's Runing battalion. Because according to the rules of the army, it is true that the soldiers of the hedge formation are not merciless.

But there were always a few soldiers who were dazed and fled directly in the direction of the Runing camp. But they also quickly fell under the guns and spears of the Runing battalion.

And this ruthless move finally made the fleeing Ming army sober up. They split into two lines and fled from both sides of the coalition to the rear.

And Wu Shigong found out at this time that the pursuing rebel cavalry was getting closer and closer. Moreover, there are a large number of rebel infantry on the top of the slope, closely followed by the rebel cavalry, and pressed in the direction of their own Runing battalion! (To be continued......)
