Chapter 1038: The whole army retreats

"Although He Jin had fought with Lu Xiangsheng's new army, there was no such thing as a stone caster in Lu Xiangsheng's army, so he was a little confused after being attacked by the stone caster."

"Boom...boom..."

The continuous explosion continued, and the enlarged versions of ten thousand enemies were continuously thrown into the bandits' military formation by the catapults. Most of these bombs fell among the bandits who were supervising the battle behind. All those within the explosion range were blown away.

But even so, those few bombs caused great casualties when they exploded among the refugees, especially the formations of refugees were arranged very densely, and each bomb could kill dozens of lives.

The power of thermal weapons is understood by later generations that the power of destruction can make the strongest people feel fear. Although the Jiangning Army today still uses a relatively primitive explosive like black gunpowder, it is enough to cause huge panic to the refugees who were hit by this first time.

When the first and second rounds of attacks were hit, the bandits responsible for supervising the battle were still encouraged to suppress the enemy, but when the third and fourth round of bombs were thrown over, the refugees finally collapsed. In the face of the fear of death, even the supervisory team could not let them continue to die.

"Run quickly, the Ming army is using magic tricks!"

Someone shouted in the military formation, and then the calls for escape were heard among the refugees, who collapsed in just a few minutes.

"Bastard, don't run away. The King of Breaking has an order. Those who escape without authorization will kill them on the spot!"

A bandit waved the steel knife in his hand and chopped two elderly men and a child who turned around and fled to the ground. Then he shouted loudly: "See, this is the end of being a deserter. If anyone dares to escape, this is your example!"

Two bloody corpses made the refugees who were turning around and fleeing behind stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but stop their own steps. But when another bomb fell into the crowd, it burst out with a violent explosion, and exploded more than a dozen refugees around it, the refugees' steps that had originally stopped moved again and ran back faster than before.

When tens of thousands of refugees came together and turned backwards and ran desperately towards the back, the momentum was extremely amazing. It was like a torrent, swallowing anything that was blocking the front.

"You untouchables, don't...ah..."

The bandit who had just killed two refugees and was in charge of supervising the battle just raised the steel knife in his hand and felt a sharp pain in his wrist. It turned out that more than a moment, a young man had grabbed his hand and bitten it hard, and a large piece of bloody meat was bitten down like this.

"ah……"

The bandit who was suffering from wrists screamed, and the steel knife in his hand fell to the ground.

"Bastard, you little bastard, I'm going to tear you into pieces!"

The bandit, whose face was pale in pain, roared, kicked the young man to the ground with one kick, lowered his head to pick up the steel knife. However, before he could pick up the steel knife again, the refugee in front rushed over and knocked him to the ground. Before he could get up, he stepped on his body with countless feet.

Just now, he could still scream in a shrill voice, but soon there was no sound. In this way, a originally strong bandit was trampled into meat sauce.

Behind, a bandit said to He Jin tremblingly: "The head of the family, those mud legs are going crazy. Our people can't stand it anymore. Let the brothers withdraw it quickly?"

He Jin also showed a look of horror in his eyes, and he slapped the bandit in the head and cursed: "Idiot, is it still time to inform me now? Run away quickly!"

After saying that, He Jin pulled the reins of the horse and ran quickly towards the back. The bandits around him followed suit when they saw this. Those who had horses rode horses but didn't ran away and ran back desperately. In order to survive, the villains who had just wielded their butcher swords and forced the refugees to die, the scumbags ran desperately like a terrified bird.

He Jin's escape further intensified the bandits' craze for defeat. More than 7,000 bandits supervising the battle no longer cared about the others and fled to their own formation one by one.

Gao Yingxiang and others, who were under the formation behind, saw the refugees who were rushing towards the Jiangning Army formation as if they were rushing to death not long ago, turned their direction and came towards their own formation. Many people exclaimed.

Luo Rucai immediately said, "King Chuang, He Jin and the others have retreated. If they are asked to disrupt our own formation, we will be in danger."

Gao Yingxiang's face was as deep as water. He could never have imagined how things had been planned so bad all of a sudden. Didn't it mean that he would drive these refugees to let the Ming army slaughter them all the time? Why did the situation turn around in an instant?

It’s not a complaint that Gao Yingxiang couldn’t understand. Due to the limitations of the times, he certainly wouldn’t understand the fear and panic in his heart when he first went to the battlefield and first saw the power of hot weapons.

Especially in this era, those who have never received scientific education, when they first saw this weapon that could be called a collapse of heaven and earth, they even thought that God was angry, so that morale collapsed instantly was expected.

"King of Chuang, what should we do?" This was the first time that the leaders of the family encountered this situation. They were stunned for a moment, and looked at Gao Yingxiang with one gaze after another.

Gao Yingxiang was obviously a little confused. Your sister had promised to use the 50,000-legged death to fight back the chaos of the Jiangning Army. Then they took advantage of the chaos of the Jiangning Army to rush over and defeat them, but now the situation is reversed. They may not be the ones who were defeated.

At this moment, Gao Yingxiang was confused. He didn't know whether he should continue to send people to suppress the refugees or order a retreat immediately to prevent greater losses.

Li Zicheng, who saw Gao Yingxiang with a gloomy expression, knew that he was still struggling, so he said, "King of Chuang, please order the withdrawal of the troops quickly and drag them down. When the Ming army comes, our rebel army will suffer heavy losses."

"Well, you're right." Gao Yingxiang also woke up instantly after being reminded by Li Zhicheng.

The most taboo thing on the battlefield is hesitation. As the supreme commander, you should make a decision immediately, otherwise it is very likely that the lives of all the soldiers in the army will be ruined because of his hesitation.

Gao Yingxiang said loudly: "Tell me my order and immediately order the entire army to withdraw from the city and rectify the troops and fight again."

"Retreat...retreat quickly."

"My sons, hurry up and retreat to the city."
