With the roar of artillery at the top of the slope, the situation became unpredictable again.

Cao Wenzhao's face was pale, he didn't expect that there would be artillery in the thief army.

The high-intensity fight lasted for so long, and people could still hold it, but the war horses under the seat couldn't last long.

The elite cavalry of the rogue army followed closely behind him, and the infantry at the rear of the rogue was in a tight formation, and it was impossible to rush in.

At the end of the strong crossbow, it is impossible to wear Lu Min, let alone the military formation that is tightly organized by the impact army.

Cao Wenzhao's face was constantly changing, and his mind was quickly thinking about how to deal with it, but he still found nothing.

In the team of thieves and horses that had just been penetrated, more than ten family members fell in the rushing formation, and there were only more than eighty horsemen left behind him, after all, the number was too small.

The horse team he had just encountered was stronger than the horse team on the left flank in terms of morale and combat strength, and he mistakenly thought that the left side was the direction of the main attack, and never thought that it was just an embroidered pillow that was useless.

The real military formation of the thieves was arranged on the right flank, and Cao Wenzhao, who followed the horse team, saw that it was clear that many of them were wearing the armor of the border army, and they were probably all from the border army.

Chen Wang has been staring at Cao Wenzhao since the cannon was fired, hoping that he can have a way to save the situation again.

But in the end, Chen Wang couldn't find any answer on Cao Wenzhao's face.

Chen Wangxin slowly sank, he knew that Cao Wenzhao might not be able to think of a way to break the situation.

Cao Wenzhao is a cavalry general, originally in Liaodong as a guerrilla, good at cavalry tactics, the infantry has always been led by his nephew Cao Dingjiao.

All the elite horsemen in the army were taken away by Cao Bianjiao, and it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and it was already a miracle that she could change the situation to what it is now.

Chen Wang glanced back at the rogue horse team that was following not far behind him, and then returned his gaze to the official road.

He just saw that there was an artillery shell that seemed to fall not far from the side of the Chinese army's flag, which made the military formation chaotic for a while, but now that it has calmed down, it must be Cao Dingjiao who stabilized the situation.

However, the elite infantry of the thieves launched an offensive at this time, and they were slowly pressing towards the official road.

The reason why the attack was not launched immediately was just to wait for a few more rounds of artillery bombardment to lower the morale of the Ming army, and then break through the Ming army's military formation in one go.

Even the army with high morale cannot withstand the artillery bombardment, as long as it is bombarded for a few rounds, the military formation will collapse, and most of them have suffered the loss of artillery, and they all know it very well.

"General!"

Chen Wangyi gritted his teeth, whipped his horsewhip violently, and galloped to Cao Wenzhao's approach, he was only a few steps away from Cao Wenzhao.

In the current situation, only a dead horse should be a live horse doctor.

Cao Wenzhao heard the shout and looked back at Chen Wang, he remembered Chen Wang and recognized Chen Wang.

This family, who has been following since Liaodong, is brave and skillful.

Following him through dozens of battles, the army has seven Jiannu heads, one of which is still a white-armored soldier.

It is not an easy task to fight with Jiannu and get the first rank, and the lives of Chen Wang's men have already broken the double ten in Liaodong.

After entering the customs, Chen Wang's military exploits were still outstanding, and he won the first rank of thirty-two, killing more enemies, and killing people was afraid that he had already exceeded 100.

He once thought about promoting Chen Wang and assigning Chen Wang to be a flag chief or a general manager.

But Chen Wang has always been taciturn, alone, doesn't talk to others much, and rarely socializes on weekdays.

After thinking about it, in the end, Cao Wenzhao still did not promote him, but only added some more military salary to Chen Wang.

After all, as an officer, to restrain the army, Chen Wang's temperament is a little unsuitable.

"The infantry team has been shelled, and now its morale is low, and although the army has not dispersed, it is only barely maintained."

"A few more rounds of artillery bombardment, when the enemy covers up, the army will inevitably collapse."

Chen Wang was already out of the way, and he was really unwilling to fail like this.

"There are many thieves and horses, and we will definitely be at a disadvantage when we fight head-on, and it is useless for us to stay on the periphery, so it is better to return to the army first."

"Only with a general in the Chinese army can the morale of all troops be stabilized, even if the enemy artillery bombardment continues, the army formation will not collapse, and the situation can be temporarily stabilized."

Under such a round of blows, the army has not yet been defeated, to be honest, that is, Cao Wenzhao can lead the troops like this.

If other generals lead the troops, I am afraid that the army will collapse under the first round of the attack.

Cao Wenzhao felt that today's Chen Wang seemed to be two completely different people from before.

First, he was keenly aware of the details that he hadn't noticed, so that they didn't fall headlong into the encirclement.

Now when the situation is complicated, Chen Wang can still keep calm, and think of a plan to deal with it, which is still clearly organized.

Cao Wenzhao wanted to say something, but when the words came to an end, he almost nodded his head.

"Withdraw the Chinese army!"

Cao Wenzhao did not drag the slightest mud and water, pointed at the horse lance in his hand, and then ordered in a loud voice.

With the issuance of the military order, the horn of the cavalry ready to turn also sounded in the formation.

The way back to the Chinese army was very smooth, the thieves' elite cavalry was too far away, and there seemed to be no real intention to fight, seeing them turn into the military formation on the official road, they all stationed their horses.

On the hillside, the deafening sound of artillery rang out again, only this time, only the sound of four cannons rang out, and one cannon did not go off, as if something was wrong.

This time, of the four shells, only one shell smashed into the Ming army's military formation, and the remaining three shells all missed the direction and crossed over the Ming army's military formation.

Cao Wenzhao also led a group of family members into the military formation at this time.

To tell the truth, Cao Wenzhao led the troops to kill, and many people were worried that Cao Wenzhao would not be able to lead the cavalry to flee when he saw something, and he would never return.

Many of them are Datong soldiers, and the time they have followed Cao Wenzhao is not very long, but their superiors have done this kind of thing at the beginning.

Cao Wenzhao returned to the army, which also reassured the Datong soldiers, and the morale of the army obviously changed.

Looking at the changes in the morale of the soldiers around him, Chen Wang's heart was slightly settled.

As long as the infantry team does not collapse, everything is still under control.

The artillery of this era was often casual, and the gunners had no rules at all, almost relying on feelings.

The damage that artillery can cause is actually not large, and it is mainly a blow to morale.

"Uncle."

Cao Dingjiao was covered in blood, and when he saw Cao Wenzhao re-entering the battle, he immediately came forward.

Without any extra gossip, Cao Dingjiao stepped forward and quickly reported the situation of each department, and the command was transferred back to Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao did not rush to give an order, but first looked at Chen Wang, who was beside him, and he had a strange feeling.

Whether or not this battle can be won, I am afraid the key does not lie in him, but in Chen Wang.

History of the Ming Dynasty:

"The governor of the imperial history Fan Fucui Hui played the first 36,600 wonders, Wen Zhaogong first, Jiamo second, Cheng'en and Qi second."

"Wen Zhao is in Shaanxi, with dozens of battles of all sizes, with the most merits, and the inheritance is not narrated."

"Suikou Jiluo" contains that after the death of Cao Wenzhao, "when the officials and soldiers of Yu Chu outside the Guanguan heard it, they were all angry. ”
