Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Until Li Dingguo, who led the cavalry to retreat, squeezed over and saw Zhang Xianzhong's abnormal appearance, and immediately said anxiously: "What are you doing here? Pull the godfather down quickly."

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's generals and soldiers woke up like a dream, Ainengqi and others immediately pulled Zhang Xianzhong's horse, surrounded them and retreated to the rear.The elite guards around Zhang Xianzhong also fled to the rear holding the handsome flag.

In fact, at this time, many people in the peasant army had already begun to flee on their own initiative.The cavalry had already run to the front.And those who were listed as the back team when the war started.Now they turned around and turned into the front team retreating one after another. While they were thankful for their good luck, they walked at a faster speed.

And some other peasant soldiers saw that their leaders ran to the front, and even the coach Zhang Xianzhong ran away, so they didn't have much confidence in their hearts.

And the cavalry of the Runing Army kept approaching behind them. How could this allow the Peasant Army to remain calm and retreat in an orderly manner?So those behind wanted to run to the front, and those in front wanted to run faster. When someone found out that the leaders like Zhang Xianzhong led their cronies and elites to run far away, the whole team couldn't hold on immediately, so they It was like an avalanche.

At the beginning, small corners collapsed, then fell off quickly, and finally the whole collapsed. When the cavalry of the Runing Army chased more than a hundred steps, Zhang Xianzhong's troops had completely disrupted the organizational system , everyone was mixed together, running crazily.

Seeing that the oppression was almost done, the deputy commander who ran at the front raised his saber, and his soldiers also raised their weapons at the same time, signaling to charge.

The deputy army commander swung his saber forward fiercely, and the cavalry of the Runing Army behind him also tilted their weapons forward in unison. The movements of so many people were uniform.The horses began to accelerate.Everyone put their bodies on the horse's back as much as possible, so that the horse can run faster.

The sudden acceleration of the officers, soldiers and cavalry made the peasant soldiers who were already fleeing in a panic even more panicked, but in the current situation, there were people in all directions, and even if they wanted to disperse to both sides, there was no place to disperse.Moreover, on one side of this place is the fortification built by the peasant army, and on the other side is the camp of the peasant army. There is no open land at all.

Therefore, even if the peasant soldiers on the edge want to escape, their speed will be affected.Their speed slowed down, but the soldiers inside who were still on the flat terrain ran fast, and they would immediately become crowded and chaotic.

In fact, according to Zhang Xianzhong's old routine, he often placed some refugees in front of the troops, and they could be used as cannon fodder when they charged into the battle.They can act as a hindrance when retreating.

But this time.Zhang Xianzhong was also desperate.The soldiers he placed in the front team used as much as possible the old battalion soldiers and horses with combat experience.And these people are the source of the backbone of the peasant army.So if it is lost, it will do great damage to the future development.

You must know that the leaders of the Peasant Army don't care about the refugees at all, as long as they think about it, there is no shortage of coercion personnel.But those backbones are precious, and they are actually the foundation of the peasant army's combat effectiveness.As long as the backbone is there, even if the peasant army is defeated, it can still be pulled back up again.

But Zhang Xianzhong's backbone was half damaged by shelling first, and then the cavalry who faced the Runing Army first.So for Zhang Xianzhong, this loss was really traumatic!

The fleeing Peasant Army soldiers were panicked.However, the cavalry of the Runing Army first kept controlling their speed, and then suddenly exerted force, directly chasing them up.

The courage of those peasant soldiers has disappeared.Just now, they may have the courage to attack the Runing Army's gun formation and firecracker front.But now, each of them just wanted to run, to get to the middle of the team.Let the people behind you fight against the official cavalry who came after you.

Therefore, one of the decisive factors in winning or losing a battle is courage.When the peasant soldiers lost their courage, they immediately changed from wolves to lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

When the cavalry rushed into the chaotic crowd, many people did not have time to escape.It was directly hit by a horse.And those peasant soldiers didn't even turn around, which made the already chaotic team even more out of control.No one wanted to turn around and take weapons to resist, but they all went forward desperately.

What kind of friendship in arms is nothing compared to fleeing for one's life.When those fleeing peasant soldiers saw someone blocking them, they often took their own weapons and hacked down on the comrades in front of them.

The cavalry of the Runing Army stretched out their sabers in front of them. As long as an enemy appeared within the range of the blades, they only had to adjust the direction of the sabers so that the blades could lightly wipe the opponent's neck, and a life would be harvested immediately.

The cavalry themselves don't need to expend any effort at all, because the speed of the horse and the combined momentum of the people and horses are enough to cause fatal damage to the enemy, so they only need to control the horse.

However, after chasing and killing hundreds of steps like this, the cavalry of the Runing Army themselves became a little confused, because the peasant army in front of them was too dense, and there was no room for the cavalry to perform.

So the cavalry in the front row stopped moving forward. They just raised their arms and slashed left and right desperately. They didn't move forward again until there was a gap in front of them.

And the screams of despair were endless. Because of the crowding and confusion, the soldiers of the peasant army could not escape quickly. Similarly, the cavalry of the Runing army were blocked by these peasant troops and could not pursue them at all.

Those who can run have already run away. The peasant army's horsemen are the fastest runners, and they have long since disappeared. This also shows that it is very reasonable for the peasant army to cherish horses.And the elite who followed Zhang Xianzhong also ran away.

And the cavalrymen of the Runing Army who rushed to the front also quickly stopped their horses, because their sabers were a bit curled, and their hands were sore from chopping, so they could only let their companions in the back row come forward.Everyone's horses and fronts were stained red with blood.

And the cavalry of the Runing Army in the back row also tried their best to speed up their horses, and charged into the ranks of the Peasant Army again.The same crash, the same slash.But the peasant army was still crowded there, not because they didn't want to run away, but because they couldn't run away.

After hacking and killing for a while, the cavalry in the second row also stepped aside, allowing the cavalry in the third row to charge forward.After that, the first platoon of cavalry who rested for a while charged again... (To be continued..)
