Valley Emperor

Datang's new army's advance speed is not fast, they are lined up in a tight formation step by step, but although they are not fast, their pace is very steady, and the formation is also very tight.

And the dense formation of the new army of the Tang Dynasty gave the two or three hundred Ming army who were already in chaos even greater fear in their hearts!

Whether it is the age of ancient cold weapons or the age of modern muskets, the army must maintain a dense formation during combat, so as to increase the density of firepower or increase the impact.

When the two armies are fighting, if the formation of one side is very scattered, but the formation of the other side is very close, then the result of the battle can already be foreseen at the beginning, not to say 100%, but 80 to 90%. The odds are that the side with the scattered formation loses.

Unless it is said that the strength of the two sides is too disparate, or there are special circumstances such as ambush.

Today, the Ming army is in a state of chaos, while the new army of the Tang Dynasty is lining up to attack in a dense formation, which will cause great panic to the Ming army in chaos.

In particular, the Ming army forward who had collapsed before and was fleeing, is now even more collapsed. The few soldiers who ran slowly behind even lost their confidence to escape, put down their weapons in despair, and then knelt on the ground. He kept shouting in his mouth: "Forgive me! Forgive me!"

The armies of the two sides have not yet formally engaged in short-term combat, but the Ming army has surrendered one after another. Even if the number of surrenders is not large, this situation has brought a greater morale blow to the Ming army.

These Ming troops had been forced to chase for a day and a night, and they were already exhausted. Except for Su Jiakang, no one in the entire army wanted to fight this battle.

The morale of such a Ming army was already extremely low, but now there has been a sudden chaos, and the counterattack of the pseudo-Tang thief army on the opposite side has also been launched. In this case, the only trace of their fighting spirit has completely disappeared. .

Not only those forwards who have been defeated and thrown into chaos, but even other Ming troops are just around the corner, thinking about how to escape so that they can run faster than their comrades.

This kind of thinking finally rose to the extreme when the formation of the Datang New Army was only twenty or thirty meters away from them, especially when the musket team of the Datang New Army stopped and raised their guns to aim.

I don't know who shouted: Run away!

In the next instant, the Ming army that was still barely maintaining the queue also collapsed completely. The soldiers turned around and ran back, and like the previous forwards, they turned into a flood that broke the embankment and rushed into the night.

However, no matter how fast they escaped, they couldn't be faster than the bullets of the Datang New Army musketeers. With another shot from Wang Danxu, the bullets were spilled out.

Wang Danxu didn't even wait to see how many enemy troops he had knocked down with the shot just now.

In the next instant, these musketeers rushed up with muskets that had already been loaded with bayonets, and on both sides of them were the main force of the charge: more than a hundred spearmen!

As for the other main melee force led by Butcher Chen and the others, they shot out from the right flank, with Butcher Chen and Cai Erhu, two fighters in double armor, pointing straight into the Ming army's flank.

At this time, not only the musketeers, spearmen, and sword and shield soldiers launched a melee charge, but even more than 40 archers carried their bows and arrows on their backs and followed the musketeers with their knives in their hands. Kill the fish that slip through the net.

More than 300 bandits in Huangzhushan have once again fully proved what they are best at: fighting against the wind!

In the face of the defeated Ming army, they were like tigers descending the mountain, and they launched a melee charge with high morale.

In the formation of the Ming army, Su Jiakang looked at the army that had completely collapsed, and a look of rage appeared on his face: "Damn, **** it!"

He is cruel!

He complains!

If it wasn't for Wang Zhitan and the others who were timid and messed up and made several so-called tentative attacks, but had launched an entire army attack from the very beginning, the place would have evolved into what it is now.

This officer is going to kill him!

When Su Jiakang was angry, Luo Mazi next to him said in a flustered tone: "Sir, we should go, otherwise, the fake Tang thieves will be killed!"

Su Jiakang gritted his teeth and nodded, "Let's go!"

Then he turned the horse's head directly, and joined the fleeing army with his own followers.

Before leaving, he did not forget to look back at the pseudo-Tang bandit army behind him. Under the light of the torches, he once again saw Li Xuan, who was riding on a horse and wearing strange clothes.

He murmured: "This official will be back!"

After a while, Li Xuan looked at the numerous corpses of the Ming army and the wounded screaming on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh: "This battle is inexplicable!"

The Ming army is inexplicable, the chaos is inexplicable, and the defeat is even more inexplicable!

When facing the Ming army, Li Xuan did not think that it would cause such heavy losses to the Ming army. His initial idea was to block the Ming army for an hour or two, leaving time for the baggage team to retreat. If it is far away, then he will retreat with people without hesitation.

Anyway, after they are not dragged down by the baggage team, they will retreat very quickly, and they are not afraid that the Ming army will catch up.

But what he didn't expect was that the Ming army just sent a few waves of a hundred or two hundred strikers to try to attack, and it didn't take long for the fight to start, and they collapsed on their own!

The conscience of heaven and earth, Li Xuan did not expect that the Ming army would collapse so quickly at first!

It's just now that he looked at the corpses and wounded all over the ground, and he regretted it for a while. Did he beat the Ming army too hard this time? This charge and the follow-up pursuit~www.wuxiaspot.com~ not only killed and wounded The Ming army of at least 200 people, this is not counting, and they also captured at least one person prisoner.

In other words, even if the Ming army generals at the back were able to gather up all the fleeing troops, they would have lost at least 400 people, accounting for more than one third of the fighting force.

This battle was also the one that achieved the greatest victory in the previous battles between the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention that 400 Ming troops were killed, wounded, and captured, but there were piles of loot such as armor and weapons that were captured.

Among them, there are at least thirty pairs of extremely valuable iron armor, dozens of pairs of cotton armor, and hundreds of weapons such as bows and arrows, swords and the like.

Having achieved such a great victory, Fang Dongquan and Wang Danxu led the soldiers to clean up the battlefield happily, but Li Xuan never smiled when he watched the entire battlefield.

He worried that after the Ming army suffered this fiasco, they would ask for help from the top, which would cause the Ming court to shake, and then there would be thousands or even tens of thousands of Ming troops swarming from all directions.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. If a large number of Ming troops came over, what should he do?
