Chapter 279

This shocked, frightened and bewildered the wandering bandits who rushed here, because they knew that if they could attack here in the past, great things would be done.

But now when they attack here, they can't break through the other party's defense line. They are resisted by the other party. They can't advance or retreat outside the defense line.

It's not a big thing if they have to advance or retreat, but now they are facing an extremely tragic thing, that is, they are always facing the baptism of each other's artillery, fire guns, bows and arrows, and a large number of people fall all the time.

To put it bluntly, they are now in a situation where they are absolutely beaten. They can only be killed, but they can't hurt the enemy. Such a scene makes many people cold hearted.

Originally, Zhang Xianzhong was always in high spirits, but when he saw such a scene, he was also shocked. His tens of thousands of troops attacked the enemy's position and the army of 2000 people, but he couldn't break the other party's defense line, which surprised him inexplicably.

This also made Zhang Xianzhong extremely angry.

Zhang Xianzhong asked loudly, "who is this army?"

Even if they fought with the most elite officers and soldiers, they would not be so oppressed and beaten passively. However, they let the other party press to fight on the front battlefield. Seeing that the situation was bad and the wind was wrong, Zhang Xianzhong immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Who knows, at this time, the city gate was wide open, and a cavalry rushed out of the city. After they rushed out of the city, the soldiers were divided into two ways and directly attacked them. As a strange soldier, they looked at the momentum, but they surrounded the two wings of Zhang Xianzhong's army. Unexpectedly, they had the idea of making dumplings.

Zhang Xianzhong is also an expert on the battlefield. It's not easy for you to make his dumplings. Moreover, he has tens of thousands of troops, but his tens of thousands of troops have completely lost their morale under the fierce attack of the enemy. What's worse is to order Mingjin to withdraw the troops.

Since the attack on Anqing, his soldiers have been pressed by others to fight and kill unilaterally. These soldiers are close to collapse. When they hear the voice of Mingjin from the rear army, they retreat without hesitation.

The situation was already close to collapse. Even if they didn't withdraw their troops, the cannon in the city would collapse. Who knows that Zhang Xianzhong withdrew his troops at this time, and the result directly turned into a great rout.

The easiest thing to happen on the battlefield is that you want to retreat safely, but the enemy won't give you a chance. Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong doesn't know enough about his grass-roots soldiers at this time. The soldiers are close to collapse, and he dares to call in gold at this time.

This directly plunged them into a collapse situation. In addition, there were two cavalry in the city who made a rapid impact on their army, smashed their queue, scrambled their formation and rushed straight to Zhang Xianzhong, which made their army more chaotic.

Originally, Zhang Xianzhong's troops were in chaos. They retreated noisily and were impacted by the other party's cavalry. They completely collapsed.

An emergency retreat in the attack turned into a big rout, which was unexpected to Zhang Xianzhong, but he was also a quick responder. He had been a roving bandit for so many years, but he learned the good Kung Fu of observing Yan and color. When he saw that the wind was wrong, he was ready to run away. Unexpectedly, the other party's cavalry raided them and surrounded them all at once.

Zhang Xianzhong was shocked. He didn't expect that he would face such a situation today. A moment ago, he was elated to prepare to capture Anqing. Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, the situation took a sharp turn. His army collapsed and he was surrounded by the elite cavalry of the enemy.

These elite cavalry, using the high-speed impact of war horses, stormed the formation of the roving bandits, drove them away, stormed the chaos, and then surrounded the most elite Chinese Army among the roving bandits and contracted the front.

Zhang Xianzhong has nearly 20000 people. It's not easy to surround him, but their soldiers have collapsed and fled directly. Especially after seeing their commander-in-chief surrounded, these soldiers did not come to rescue, but fled one after another.

If it is peacetime, these soldiers will certainly go all out to attack the enemy cavalry and hope to rescue their commander, but now they have been beaten by the champion. They are cold hearted and have no morale. How dare they have the courage to take the initiative to attack the officers and soldiers?

These soldiers lost their courage, so they fled one after another and fled outside the battlefield. They knew that this was Shura hell. The farther away from here, the better.

Liu Bu was originally commanding the battle under the city. When they used their tricks, he quickly withdrew to the city tower for command. He knew that the enemy had many shortcomings and flaws that they could make use of today. If they made good use of them, they might defeat this group of rogue bandits.

The enemy was nearly twenty or thirty thousand, and the Qi army was only about four thousand, but they were not afraid at all, and everyone was full of confidence.

At the beginning, Liu Jiajun was still afraid of the enemy. After all, they were facing the famous thief Zhang Xianzhong. He was a figure in the world. He broke Fengyang, the capital of Daming, destroyed the imperial mausoleum of Daming and broke the dragon vein of Daming.

Such heroes, no matter who is right, will fight with two legs and feel afraid. But after they fight, they find that even the strongest enemy is beaten into meat sauce and blown into pieces under their cannons and guns. Therefore, the morale of Liu Jiajun's soldiers is shocked and full of confidence.

When Liu Bu saw Liu Kou's army go all out to attack their array, he knew that their opportunity came. He should know that they used their red cannon to bombard each other's array, not to mention the roving bandits. Even the most elite slave building army could not carry it, not to mention the roving bandits with low organizational strength and weak cohesion.

Sure enough, under their fierce attack, the rogue army collapsed directly. Zhang Xianzhong, who was commanding, used the wrong strategy, that is, Wujin withdrew the troops and wanted to minimize the losses. This practice is actually wrong. How can you let the soldiers retreat when the army is in chaos? Once you retreat, it will become a great rout.

The army became a great rout. Liu Bu immediately seized the opportunity and ordered their cavalry to attack the other party's Chinese army quickly.

Their original intention is to attack the other party, impact the other party's array, make the other party more chaotic and completely defeat the other party. Who knows that after the morale of this roving army is gone, it is completely chaotic and disorganized, and they are driven out like sheep.

Zhang Xianzhong and others' Chinese Army array was easily broken and surrounded by them.

They are equivalent to taking the first place among millions of troops. They actually succeeded in encircling Zhang Xianzhong's main force of the Chinese army.

In fact, this is not a siege, because the number of cavalry besieging them is only more than 1500, less than the number of Zhang Xianzhong's army in the siege.

But one thing is completely different, that is, the morale of the Qi cavalry surrounding them is very high, and Zhang Xianzhong and others in the encirclement are panicked and want to escape one after another.

One moment they were still in high spirits, and the next moment they fell into a heavy siege.

Zhang Xianzhong was well-informed and could not help feeling panic.

He immediately wanted to rein in his horse and run away, but he found that the cavalry of the Qi army surrounding him were very powerful. After storming the wandering bandits, they drove them out like sheep, and then returned to the division to surround them. However, they did not take the initiative to confront and attack Zhang Xianzhong, but formed horse teams one after another, Attack them with bows and arrows within 100 meters.

Some knowledgeable people among the roving bandits scolded: "Damn it, it's the Mongolian tartar."

Mongolia's most elite tactics are the six tactics left over from the Genghis Khan era. One of them is the circular tactics, that is, their light cavalry did not directly impact and confront each other, but galloped freely hundreds of meters away from each other and constantly attacked the enemy with bows and arrows.

You should know that these Mongolian soldiers can control their horses with their feet and gallop like the wind outside the enemy's position. They can shoot you dead, but you can't shoot them

When the Mongolian iron cavalry was in full swing, their tactics defeated countless enemies, and even the heavy armored cavalry in Europe's most powerful Teutonic Knights were defeated by them.

Now, after the Mongolian cavalry surrounded Zhang Xianzhong, they were not eager to eat. Instead, they spied and cruised nearby, looking for opportunities to use their circular tactics for sneak attacks and attacks.

They did not take the initiative to fight with the rogue army, but constantly used cold arrows to kill the rogue outside his opponent's array.

This tactic made many people bite their teeth in anger. The enemy rode fast horses and ran around like the wind, but did not fight with you. They used bows and arrows to sneak attacks. You watched the people around you being shot by cold arrows and fire guns. Zhang Xianzhong was furious.

Zhang Xianzhong ordered his horse team to be ready to form an elite force and prepare to rush outward. At this time, he found the sound of earth shaking treading. Looking back, he saw that more than 2000 infantry guarding the gate of the city came flat and directly arrived 150 steps away and surrounded them.

In this way, they are facing 1500 cavalry, and behind them are 2000 infantry commanded by Liu Zhongyong. They are facing the front and rear attack of Liu Jiajun.
