The offensive of the left flank of the thieves collapsed, and it was a respite for the foot soldiers above the official road.

There was no need to deal with attacks from both sides at the same time, and with Chen Wang's reminder at the beginning, Cao Wenzhao gave the order in time, and there was no surprise, and the ambush basically did not achieve any effect.

Ambush warfare has evolved into positional warfare, but the thieves still occupy the advantage of geography and have a condescending advantage.

It's just that when Chen Wang looked back, the scene in front of him made Chen Wang's heart almost sink to the bottom.

An endless black wave is sweeping from the right side of the official road, as if it is about to completely submerge the troops above the official road.

The army formations on the official road are like reefs in the sea, unsheltered in the storm, and will be completely engulfed by the wind and waves at any time.

"Stabilize the military formation, their bows and arrows won't do anything!!"

On the official road, the infantry of the Ming army had already recovered from the panic, and the soft bow in the hands of the thieves really did not have any effect on them, and the tiger squat cannon was too far away, and it could not cause any damage.

The soldiers of the two fronts were attacked from both sides, and they were already submerged in the crowd after being attacked from both sides, and they were already submerged in the crowd

As the other two pawns in the front, one game was entangled and isolated, and it was already more than lucky, and only the latter game retreated back in time.

Under the command of the lieutenant generals, the military formations of the various bureaus are constantly assembling and forming a large formation with divisions as units.

As the infantry in the rear, because it is still far away from the encirclement, the infantry of the two divisions have already completed the assembly, and the commander of the rear commander commanded the soldiers to gallop to the middle, which also contained the offensive of the thieves to a certain extent.

In the military array, Cao Dingjiao was wearing long armor, full of fierceness, and his hideous face was like a vicious beast trying to choose people to devour.

He is also Cao Wenzhao's nephew, and Cao Bianjiao is a brother of the same clan, the original garrison was reappointed to the Chinese army, Cao Wenzhao handed over the middle and rear two infantry to him for him to control.

"Those who dare to leave the battle and retreat without permission will immediately slash the three armies!"

Cao Dingjiao's eyes were full of anger, and his voice was gloomy as if it came from under the Nine Shadows, and everyone who heard it was terrified.

Behind him, all the guards drew their knives in their hands, scattered, and looked coldly at the armored soldiers in front of them.

Since the ambush appeared, Cao Dingjiao had already watched the overall situation, and the command of the front had also been taken over by him at this time.

The central part was subjected to a fierce attack by thieves, but fortunately, the rear was relieved of the siege and the casualties were acceptable.

However, the casualties in the front were extremely heavy, the infantry of the three frontmost bureaus were caught in the enemy formation, and the soldiers of the withdrawn bureau were still in shock, and the morale of the troops after being incorporated into the front was extremely great.

The archers of the thieves occupied the high ground, and the rain of arrows continued to pour towards the Ming army on the official road, and the sound of tiger squatting cannons also sounded from time to time.

At all times, there were casualties among the soldiers, and the fear of death tormented everyone's nerves.

There were a total of eight rounds of soldiers in the front, but now they have broken three rounds, and they have suffered the most fierce attack of the thieves, and now there are only five rounds left, less than 500 soldiers.

The five bureaus in the front have lost nearly 10% of their troops in a short time after engagement, and if the losses in the previous three rounds are counted, the losses in the front have already exceeded 40%.

At this time, the front had not collapsed, all because Cao Wenzhao led the cavalry to defeat the thieves who swarmed on the left flank.

This greatly boosted the morale of the army, and also gave hope to the soldiers, like a drowning man grabbing a wooden stick.

However, Rao is like this, the front part is already at the end of the mountain, and the main attack direction of the thief's elite horse team is the front.

Unlike the soldiers in the center and rear, who only had to face one side of the enemy, they had to face not only the enemy from the right side, but also the enemy from the front of the official road.

"Send a message to Sun Anshan, his chance is only for a moment!"

Cao Dingjiao grabbed the red scarf around the neck of a herald and roared.

"When the banner of the Chinese army is shaking and ten thousand cannons are fired, it is the opportunity for him to withdraw his troops!"

"This is his last chance......"

Cao Dingjiao's eyes were red, his gaze moved away from the herald's face, looked at the front of the military formation, and gritted his teeth.

"If you can't get back...... Just die in battle! ”

"Kill !!"

The shouts of killing resumed, and countless arrows swept up in the back of the thieves, weaving a great net of death in the air.

"Raise your shield!"

The officers of the Ming army in front of the battle immediately gave orders.

The Ming soldiers at the front raised their shields one after another.

The feathered arrows of the locusts shot at a sharp sound with a piercing sound, and the rain of arrows fell, most of which were blocked by the shields, but there were still many through the gaps in the shields of the Ming army in front of the formation, and in an instant, there were bursts of screams and muffled snorts in the military array.

Cao Dingjiao's eyes suddenly froze, this time the thief's arrow rain was fast and urgent, and even some of the armor was pierced by feather arrows, and the one who shot this array of feather arrows was definitely the elite among the thieves.

Not long after the rain of arrows fell, the back of the thieves not far away was another rain of arrows swept into the air again, and then the continuous sound of horns also sounded in the formation of the thieves.

The thieves' infantry regained their strength at this time, and almost all the people standing at the front were poorly clothed and thin.

They carried a variety of weapons, many of which were even just wooden sticks, and even short knives.

Cao Dingjiao's gaze didn't stay on them for a long time, he knew that these people were not the main force in this big war, these people were just cannon fodder that was pushed out.

These hungry people, they have lost their land, they have lost their property, whether they want to or not, they have long been unable to survive.

After the war, those who survived, those who took off the rank of officers and soldiers, were eligible to become infantry soldiers.

Only by becoming the infantry team and the horse army can they be fed, and at the same time, they are also eligible to feed their families.

Their eyes were full of madness...... And hunger......

Cao Dingjiao's gaze crossed the queue of hungry people and cast it farther away.

After the queue of the hungry people, those rogues in armor, holding sharp blades, with strict banners and neat formations, are the real main force of this battle.

Many of those people were once like them, and they were all generals in the army.

It's just natural disasters and man-made disasters, this damn world, that makes them homeless, makes them thieves, and turns them into bandits.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The rapid sound of drums suddenly sounded from behind the formation of those hungry people, and in the next moment, more than 1,000 hungry people standing in front of them all moved forward.

They shouted and roared wildly, venting the fear in their hearts and summoning up the remaining courage in their hearts, as if this could arouse the few physical strength and courage in their bodies.

They swept towards the Ming army's great array like a tide.

However, just as they had rushed to the front, only about thirty paces away, the faces of the most frantic hungry people in the front were full of fear, and some even turned around and wanted to flee.

However, the crowd of people swarming behind them blocked their way, making them in a dilemma, and many people who wanted to retreat were knocked down and overwhelmed by the crowd......

And it was only after they fell to the ground that those behind them discovered what it was that frightened them so much.

Just in front of them, the Ming army formation was not a row after row of dense spears, but one after another with black hole barrels.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The smoke of gunpowder instantly obscured everyone's field of vision, and in front of the Ming army, the sound of tiger squatting cannons was as deafening as thunder.

Above the official road, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and large pieces of flying stones rushed out from the tiger squatting cannons.

Pieces of stone bullets were sprayed almost in the face, and the first few old bandits didn't even snort, they were directly beaten into a sieve and fell directly on the dry land.

The front of the surging rogues was even swept away, and fear spread like a poisonous weed among the hungry people.

The continuous sound of artillery sounded in the Ming army's formation, a large amount of gunpowder smoke flew up, and the huge casualties and the fear of artillery made the entire thief's infantry fall to the bottom in an instant.

A terrifying scream resounded in the sky above the official road, and countless stone bullets fell in the surging crowd.

Like...... Skyfall......
