Ren Jirong's division on the left flank of the Shun army was defeated by the cavalry of the Jingbei Army, which forced Liu Zongmin to lead the cavalry of his headquarters to join the battlefield in order to save the decline, but the rout on the left also frightened the Shun army in the middle, especially the moment when Gao Jie's 3,000 troops jumped out of the trenches.

Gao Jie is known as the harrier who climbs over the mountain, and he is also a rare fierce general, after the attack, he ordered his subordinates to command more than 1,000 soldiers and horses against the cannon fodder army driven in front by the Shun army, and he personally commanded more than 1,000 elite soldiers to rush and beat Hao Shaoqi's general flag.

Compared with Hao Shaoqi's army of nearly 30,000 in the middle, more than 3,000 soldiers and horses seem to have a huge disparity in strength, but Gao Jie's subordinates are all elite soldiers who have fought old battles.

In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, when Li Xingzhi besieged and annihilated Zhang Xianzhong in Agate Mountain, Gao Jie also defeated He Yilong's Gezuo Fifth Battalion and Cao Cao Luo Rucai's tens of thousands of troops and horses in Yanjing.

Although Gao Jie is still a little weak about Li Zicheng, but now the opposite side is only Liu Zongmin and Hao Shaoqi, and the left wing of the Shun army has completely collapsed, and Gao Jie will naturally beat the water dog at this time.

"I will kill the thief ...... with Ben!"

Li Chengdong took the lead, slashing and killing indiscriminately with the long knife in his hand, and there was no one in front of him, and the armor soldiers around him also rushed and beat the cannon fodder army under the post.

Li Benshen was not willing to be left behind, and after leading his troops to rush out, he was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, staring at those untidy cannon fodder soldiers and slashing them.

For a time, on the frontal battlefield of Qinglonggang, the sound of killing shook the sky, drums and cannons rang out in unison, and there were crazy stabbing knives and spears everywhere, and the shouts of killing and wailing sounded into one.

The Shun army attacked for a long time, physically and mentally exhausted, coupled with the rout of the left flank, the morale was not high, and was rushed by Li Chengdong and Li Benshen for a while, and Liu Zongmin had just led the army to set up a defensive formation on the left flank and the Chinese army, and the Chinese army of the Shun army also had a small-scale rout.

At first, there were more than a dozen people, then dozens or even hundreds, and then thousands of cannon fodder troops broke down en masse because they were afraid.

"Leader Hao, the official army is attacking fiercely, Ren Jirong has been defeated, our forwards can't stop their offensive, the situation is urgent, let's retreat to the camp."

Liu Tichun is also one of the leaders of the Shun army, after seeing the front team being rolled back by the official army, he suddenly had a heart of fear, after all, for so many years, when the peasant army encountered the main force of the official army, it was basically more defeated and less victorious, and now the situation is in front of him, and if he does not retreat, once he is entangled by the official army, the elite infantry of the side will not have time to withdraw from the battlefield.

"Uh......!"

Hao Shaoqi was also stunned, since the capture of Nanyang Mansion, the peasant army has won many battles, Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian have been defeated by the Shun army, so that almost all the leaders of the peasant army have given birth to the official army but such a mentality, since Li Zicheng and everyone below think that the Shun army can already compete with the main force of the official army, which is also the reason why Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin strongly asked to attack Heluo.

Now the cruel truth makes it difficult for Hao Shaoqi to accept, the Dashun army, which has an absolute advantage in terms of troops, is actually counterattacked by an official army of only 20,000 or 30,000 people, and there are signs of complete collapse.

This made Hao Shaoqi suddenly feel a sense of powerlessness, and at this time he only felt how ridiculous it was for Li Zicheng to proclaim himself King Shun.

"Pass on the general's order, let the sons and daughters alternately cover, fight and retreat, and leave the rout army in front of you."

After hesitating again and again, Hao Shaoqi still followed Liu Tichun's advice, as for Liu Zongmin, who led the cavalry forward, he didn't want to care, and he didn't have the ability to care, he just wanted to save the elite soldiers of the old battalion in his headquarters.

Hao Shaoqi shook the flag decisively, and the mid-road Shun army immediately changed the rear team to the front team, began to break away from the battlefield, and slowly retreated to the rear.

"How so? Isn't Liu Zongmin known as the number one thief? The thieves are too unbeaten, Wang Qiaonian and Fu Zonglong will actually lose to Li Zicheng, it's really sad. ”

Wang Zhong, who was organizing military horses on Qinglonggang, was also shocked by the scene of the Shun army being defeated by 3,000 soldiers in the middle of the road, he did not expect the combat effectiveness of the Shun army to be so poor, in the case of Liu Zongmin personally leading the cavalry forward, Gao Jie only had a counter-charge, and the Shun army collapsed.

"Wang Shuai, our Jingbei Army has been fighting with the East Captives all the year round, and we don't know much about the combat power of the Liukou, although Li Zicheng claims to have 500,000 military horses, but only 50,000 or 60,000 people can really fight, and the rest are just coerced people and displaced people, these people can fight a good battle, how can they be the opponent of my Jingbei Army."

Liu Guoneng is also from a rogue background, although he has always been in Zhang Xianzhong's army, but Li Zicheng's means of expanding the army are no different from Zhang Xianzhong, so he can still estimate Li Zicheng's true strength.

"Didn't Li Zicheng annex Luo Rucai and He Yilong's subordinates? He should have more than fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses under his hands, right? ”

Wang Zhong is indeed the first time to fight with the peasant army, in the past, the Jingbei army fought, most of the time it was planned to move, this time in the back of the green dragon to resist the Shun army, he is also the first time to see the means of Liukou warfare, so he is still doubtful.

"Hehe, Li Zicheng used deception to annex Luo Rucai and the military horses of the fifth battalion of Gezuo, these people were only forced to give in by force, and now that the other army is defeated, they will naturally not fight hard, Wang Shuai, it is time to defeat Liu Zongmin in one fell swoop."

Liu Guoneng laughed again and again, the army attacked for seven or eight days in a row, and the spirit had long been gone, and Wang Fuchen's attack was a straw that broke the last morale of the army.

"Well, what you said is reasonable, pass on the commander's order, and the whole army will press it."

"Knock, knock, knock......!"

With Wang Zhong's military order, the officers and soldiers of the second town still stationed on the back of Qinglong and the new second town responsible for defending the right flank, except for the long-range soldiers, all jumped out of the fortifications with a roar, and then divided into countless small formations of white pole soldiers and mandarin duck soldiers, and launched a full-line assault on the Shun army in front of them.

The offensive and defensive situation was easy, and countless Jingbei officers and soldiers under the back of the entire Qinglong shouted frantically, holding high the spears, wolf whisks, boring rakes, and long knives in their hands like a tide and rushing towards the direction of the Shun army's rout.

"your grandma, give it to Lao Tzu."

The Shun army, which was able to stabilize the battle situation on the left flank, suddenly lost control of the middle and right flanks, and Liu Zongmin had to issue a military order to retreat.

The rout has grown like a snowball, and countless cannon fodder troops don't care at all about the elites of the Shun army who have flaunted their might in front of them, and they frantically retreat in the direction of their respective generals' banners, they only hate their fathers and mothers for having two legs, and many hesitant Shun officers and soldiers were either pushed away by the fleeing cannon fodder army, or were slashed and killed by the red-eyed deserters.

Some of the slower runners were pushed down by the Shun army who were eager to flee for their lives behind them, and they were trampled to death by countless feet before they even had time to shout.

On the battlefield, there were soldiers of the Shun Army who were running for their lives, and everywhere were soldiers of the Jingbei Army who were rushing and fighting.

"Liu Zongmin, where to go."

Wang Fuchen, who had killed the defeated army, finally saw Liu Zongmin's upside-down banner and the more than 4,000 cavalry following him, and saw that Liu Zongmin actually abandoned the infantry, Wang Fuchen brazenly raised his spear, took out his spirit known as the living Lu Bu, and chased in the direction of Liu Zongmin's rout.
