On the north bank of the Shahe River, at this time, the three of the left Guoyi generals Gu Kecheng and Xie Junyou, and the right Guoyi general Tian Hu had already crossed the river, and they were anxiously commanding the soldiers and horses to return to the south bank quickly, and the scene was very chaotic.

Suddenly, an army of iron cavalry appeared from the north, it was the cavalry battalion of the new army led by Xu Ming, and nearly 10,000 iron cavalry soldiers were driving the scouts of the front camp of dozens of thieves.

Zuo Guoyi's general Gu Kecheng was taken aback when he saw this, and then shouted loudly: "Rush up with me and stop the enemy's iron cavalry!" ”

At this time, the 40,000 horsemen in the front camp of the thieves were already in chaos, and only more than 20,000 people still retained the formation, and at this time, they followed Gu Kecheng and began to charge.

It's just that Xu Ming led his troops to kill suddenly, and he didn't leave time for Gu Kecheng's troops to increase their speed, and when the two iron cavalry armies approached, the speed of the rogue cavalry army was still very slow, and even the arrows shot were weak.

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion of the new army bowed their heads one after another, the iron helmets on their heads and the iron masks on their faces could protect their heads, coupled with the armor on the soldiers' bodies, the arrows fired by the thieves and horsemen did not cause much damage.

"Put!"

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion of the new army also raised their bird guns at this time, Xu Ming roared, Dong Yun and Du Zhongming each led the soldiers on both wings to respond, and the whole army suddenly broke out with fierce firepower, which instantly made the thieves and horses killed and injured many times, and the cavalry horses that rushed in front fell to the ground one after another, and a large number of horses that had lost their "masters" neighed in horror, and ran around on the battlefield, blocking and impacting the cavalry of the thieves and horses.

Rumble!

Xu Ming immediately led his troops to rush into the thief riding formation and collided with a very strict riding formation

, directly knocked the Xiao cavalry horses led by Gu Kecheng into pieces, and a large number of Xiao cavalry horses saw that they were invincible, and they began to flee on their horses.

In the south of the cavalry, Tian Hu, the general of Youguoyi, had gathered more than 7,000 firefighters and more than 10,000 armor soldiers, and seeing that the cavalry army in front of him was beginning to rout, he immediately ordered his troops and horses to deploy on the spot, preparing to block the charge of the cavalry battalion of the new army on the north side of the bridge.

Soon, Xu Ming led his troops to continue to charge south, and was taken aback when he saw an army of thieves and foot soldiers appearing in the south of the crowd, and they were ready to block the attack.

"Earthquake Thunder!"

Xu Ming roared, and hundreds of soldiers in the cavalry battalion took out the sky-shaking thunder one after another, and after igniting it, with the help of the high-speed of the war horse charge, they directly threw out the sky-shaking thunder in their hands, and hundreds of sky-shaking thunderbolts swept through the air, flying far beyond the normal throwing distance, and directly scattered in the thief infantry army array.

Rumble!

Huge explosions resounded one after another, and the 7,000 firecrackers and more than 10,000 armor soldiers led by Tian Hu were immediately hit hard, and there were rogue soldiers who were killed and injured by the earth-shaking thunder everywhere, and the original military formation was instantly shaken.

Especially the thousands of musketeers who were waiting in front of the army formation, but at this time, they were killed and wounded, and they began to flee backwards.

Tian Hu hurriedly ordered the guards to crush the soldiers, but he was killed by the fire of those fire gunners who fled frantically, so angry that Tian Hu scolded, and directly led people to rush forward, roaring loudly: "Go back to fight!" If you don't block the cavalry of the official army, everyone will die! ”

But no one paid attention to Tian Hu's shouts, man is a strange animal, on the battlefield, even if he is dead or injured

No matter how many times and how cruel the war is, as long as the military formation remains dense and tight, it can make people feel at ease.

But once fear spreads in the military formation, no matter how strict the military formation is, no matter how sufficient the troops, it will collapse in an instant!

At this time, the tens of thousands of thieves and horses on the north side of the bridge are like this, although the number of troops is far more than the cavalry battalion of the new army, and they still have the strength to fight, but because the military spirit has collapsed, the thieves and horses all over the north bank of the Shahe River only care about fleeing for their lives, and there are not many soldiers and horses who dare to continue fighting.

In this way, tens of thousands of rogue soldiers and horses were driven down the Sand River by the cavalry battalion of the new army, and countless rogue soldiers threw themselves into the river and drowned and sank in a blink of an eye, and the scene was very tragic.

Tian Hu was also carried by the rout to the river at this time, roaring angrily, looking back, but saw that a war horse had rushed to the front, the new army soldiers on the war horse tightened the reins suddenly, and the war horse took off directly in place, and after a neigh, Tian Hu was directly trampled on the ground.

Poor Tian Hu always thought about how to stabilize the army formation, but was trampled to death by the war horse of this new army cavalry battalion soldier by the river.

"Rush up and drive them all down the sand river!"

Xu Ming roared loudly, at this time, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion had been divided into several teams, and began to charge back and forth on the north bank of the Shahe River, as if it was a sharp steel knife, constantly slashing at the thieves, and "each knife" had to take away a lot of lives.

"Withdraw!"

At this time, Zuo Guoyi's general Gu Kecheng led more than 8,000 horsemen to the edge of the battlefield, and when he saw that the battle situation was unfavorable, he ordered a retreat to the north.

"General! Let's leave the battlefield without permission, this is a capital crime! ”

Gu Kecheng

He said loudly: "If you don't stay here, you will also die!" Let's immediately cross the river from elsewhere to the south and return to Xingtang County, Your Majesty is about to lead your troops to Xingtang County, we are not retreating, but Your Majesty will report the military situation first, and we are going to ask for help! ”

In this way, the surrounding generals had no opinion, so thousands of horsemen followed Gu Kecheng and retreated northward, quickly leaving the battlefield along the general direction of the Shahe River.

Almost at the same time, Zuo Guoyi's general Xie Junyou had already led more than 10,000 armor soldiers to withdraw to the south bank of the Shahe River, seeing that Li Laiheng had only tens of thousands of dead soldiers around him who could still stabilize his position, and the large formation of Liu Yan's new army in front had already approached, Xie Junyou could even see the artillery lined up in the distance.

"Immediately cover the withdrawal of the general!"

Xie Junyou hurriedly led his troops to join Li Laiheng, and after meeting, he said loudly: "General, I have deployed troops to open the way in front, let's quickly withdraw to Xingtang County, and then withdraw first!" ”

Li Laiheng saw that Xie Junyou had brought a lot of armor soldiers, and his heart was a little calm, and he nodded and said, "Okay!" Order all departments to withdraw their troops immediately and converge in Xingtang County! ”

As soon as the words fell, a rumbling sound sounded from the south, and the new army artillery battalion opened fire!

Rumble!

Hundreds of shells of all kinds smashed into the army of thieves, and countless rockets also shot at each other, and the more than 10,000 armored soldiers who had just finished lining up in front and were ready to cover Li Laiheng's withdrawal were instantly killed and wounded.

The cannonball from a Hongyi cannon was so powerful that it directly hit a soldier, instantly turning the strong soldier into a piece of minced meat. And then the shell continued unabated,

Rampage through the phalanx of armor soldiers, passing through the bodies of three armor soldiers, breaking the arms of two armor soldiers, and finally hitting one armor soldier in the head before falling heavily to the ground.

On the other side, a cannonball fired by the Francophone flew over the heads of the crowd, and all the armor soldiers in their passing places shrank their heads with pale faces, bent over, and even fell directly to the ground in fright.

The altitude of the cannonball's flight immediately began to decrease, and it swept the heads of a group of rogue armor soldiers, and more than a dozen armor soldiers were instantly taken away by this cannonball, leaving only headless corpses on the ground.

Rumble!

After this artillery salvo, more than 10,000 armor soldiers were directly defeated and collapsed, joining the rout, Xie Junyou and Li Laiheng were stunned when they saw this, they didn't expect Liu Yanbu's artillery fire to be so fierce, far beyond the previous impression of the two.

In fact, what Li Laiheng and Xie Junyou didn't know was that when they went south this time, Qian Jian also brought more than 200 artillery pieces from the captured firearms battalion.

Fortunately, in Quyang County, Qian Jian also brought the carriages and horses used by the thief firearms battalion to transport artillery, so that more than 200 artillery pieces could go south with the army.

"Let's go!"

Li Laiheng looked at the routs on the south bank of the Shahe River, and he didn't expect that he just crossed the river, but he was defeated by Liu Yan in a battle, and immediately said bitterly: "Withdraw the army immediately, how much can be withdrawn!" ”

Xie Junyou also had palpitations, at this time, there were shells falling around, Xie Junyou even saw four dead soldiers who were fleeing for their lives, and they were directly strung together by a rocket, that kind of death,

Xie Junyou shuddered just by looking at it.

Then Xie Junyou led people to escort Li Laiheng to flee to the west, everyone had war horses, and they ran quickly, but they ran at all, and there were routs along the way, which had completely blocked the road to the west.

At this time, Liu Yan was watching the battle with a clairvoyant mirror, and said to Miao Shao with a smile: "Okay! With this victory in hand, the artillery battalion was ordered to stop the shelling, and all battalions immediately formed a formation to cover up and expand the results! ”

"Yes!"

Soon Qian Qiao received an order, and he ordered to stop the shelling.

As soon as the artillery fire of the artillery battalions of the new army stopped, the battalions of the new army began to advance rapidly, and tens of thousands of officers and men of the new army, with high morale, strode over the artillery camp positions, rushed directly into the chaotic rout, and began to cover up and kill in a big way.

"The officers and soldiers rushed up, the general should leave quickly, and I will break the rear!"

Xie Junyou immediately roared angrily, leading more than 3,000 armor soldiers who could still obey the command to launch a counter-charge.

Seeing this, Li Laiheng's eyes were red, and he shouted, "Come back alive!" ”

But at this time, the battlefield was noisy, and Xie Junyou, who led the army to charge, couldn't hear it at all, and after Li Laiheng shouted a few times, he had to lead his troops to flee to the west, and soon mixed in the rout and disappeared.

At this time, on the south bank of the Shahe River, the battalions of the New Army were already in full swing, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the New Army came from the south to kill nearly 100,000 rogue soldiers by the river, and then launched a killing.

Rumble!

The swordsmen of each battalion marched forward in formation, constantly firing volleys to kill the enemy, and the sword and shield men in each battalion continued to throw earth-shattering thunder, which exploded in the crowd, accelerating the defeat of the thieves.

This fierce battle was completely a massacre, and when Liu Yan gave the order to accept prisoners, on the battlefield

There were only more than 10,000 thieves left, and more than 100,000 corpses were densely scattered on both sides of the Sand River, and blood flowed into the river, staining the water of the Sand River a dark red.

"It's miserable!"

Chen Xun walked on the "carpet" composed of corpses, his face was ugly, although the soldiers and horses in the front battalion of the thieves were defeated very quickly, but no one surrendered, those rout soldiers Ning Yuan jumped into the river, or ran until he was killed, and no one surrendered, and finally Liu Yan ordered to stop the attack, shouting for the thief soldiers on the battlefield to surrender, and then people began to put down their weapons and surrender.

Liu Yan didn't expect this battle to turn out like this, and the battle lasted longer than Liu Yan expected.

"Elder Ge, where are we going next?"

"Dingzhou!"

"Dingzhou?"

Liu Yan nodded and said: "After this battle, Li Zicheng was repeatedly defeated by us in the front battalion, rear battalion, firearms battalion, and right battalion, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were annihilated by us. ”

"Let's go to Dingzhou, and then Li Zicheng can respond in a timely manner whether he goes north to Beijing or south to Shandong."

Chen Xun asked, "Then what if Li Zicheng leads the army to kill Bendingzhou?" ”

Liu Yan said with a smile; "Now that the thieves' troops have lost more than half, as long as Li Zicheng dares to lead the army to come, we will fight another battle in Dingzhou!"
