In desperation, Gao Yingxiang made a mistake, and this mistake was fatal.

That is, he shouldn't have ordered the entire army to retreat so hastily.

You should know that the bandits outside the city were originally a group of rushing mobs.

There is no discipline at all. Such a team may not see any problems when fighting a down-wind battle.

But once you encounter setbacks or retreats, the problem will be exposed immediately.

What's even more terrible is that Luo Rucai and Ma Huihui are leading their troops to encircle the left and right wings of the Ming army. Now, as soon as he leads his troops to retreat, they are immediately empty, which gives the Ming army an excellent opportunity.

Yan Di, who was commanding the town, saw such a situation, and how could he miss such a good opportunity? He commanded the army without thinking and came over. Seeing the Ming army's retreat from the bandits, it immediately turned into a great defeat.

The huge retreat evolved into a huge retreat that evolved into a tens of thousands of bandits and 50,000 refugees was very terrible. When tens of thousands of people fought for their lives, scolding, trampling, conflict and other situations inevitably occurred.

Humans are very strange animals. When they gain the upper hand, almost everyone will strive for the first place, fearing that others will take away their credit, and the same is true when retreating. Naturally, they are afraid that they will fall behind others and become the enemy's sword ghost.

The retreat turned into a retreat, and it came so suddenly that Gao Yongxiang and a group of bandit leaders could not react for a moment.

Seeing the scene of tens of thousands of people crowding at the narrow city gate fighting desperately to seize the opportunity to enter the city, Gao Yingxiang was stunned. He really didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

"Let's go quickly, the Ming army is coming!" A bandit leader came to her breathlessly and shouted loudly. This bandit was Liu Zhe, one of his confidant generals.

"Why!"

Gao Yingxiang sighed, without any hesitation, and quickly followed Liu Zhe around the side.

The defeat of Gao Impact Town naturally affected Ma Huihui and Luo Rucai. Originally, they each led 20,000 troops to attack the two wings of Jiang Lin Army, but now with Gao Impact Town's defeat, this plan has naturally failed.

"The head of the family, the King of Chuang and others have been defeated. What should we do?" A leader asked Luo Rucai in panic.

"Idiot, the King of Breaking has retreated. We won't retreat. Are we waiting for the Ming army to make dumplings? Send some people to resist, let's go quickly." Luo Rucai slapped the leader in the head.

"Kill!"

There was a shout of killing in front of him, and it turned out that the cavalry of the Jiangning Army had come over.

"The Ming army in charge is here to kill us, let's run away as well."

"Idiot, it's too late to run away now!" Luo Rucai was so angry that he whipped his confidant hard and cursed.

At this time, Luo Rucai's men were less than one mile away from tomorrow. There were thousands of cavalrymen in front of them. Once they turned around and ran away, the fool knew what would happen.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and line up to meet the enemy!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Under Luo Rucai's strict order, the bandits were forcibly cheered up and set off on their stance to prepare to face the enemy.

The left wing of the Jiangning Army.

Cao Yinmao looked at the bandits who had set up a formation in front of him and raised his right hand high.

"Everyone is ready to attack the entire army!"

With Cao Yingmao's order, the two brigades of cavalry suddenly accelerated to rush towards the bandits.

"Kill!"

Soon, the two torrents were about to collide.

"Bang bang bang..."

As the two sides were about to collide, the cavalry suddenly separated from each other. The cavalry almost walked around the edge of the bandits. Then a rapid sound of muskets sounded, and the bandits who rushed to the front were shot and fell to the ground. It turned out that the cavalry were shooting with three-eyed pistols.

The three-eyed pistol is also considered a traditional standard equipment of the Ming army.

The Ming Dynasty cavalry in history had a tradition of equipped three-eyed guns, but the three-eyed guns originally equipped by the Ming army were made of cooked iron.

Not only is the weight of the three-eyed musket with a total weight of more than ten kilograms, but it is not satisfactory in terms of power, range and accuracy.

After Yang Feng arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he also spent a lot of money to ask the bricks in modern society to help him redesign and tinker with the three-eyed pistol suitable for infantry use.

The Brick Man, who had gained the benefits, did not disappoint his expectations. The three-eyed pistol designed was reduced to less than three kilograms, and the effective range reached about forty meters. Although it was not as good as the Brown Beth musket equipped by infantry, it was a good thing for cavalry to defend themselves in close combat.

For the bandits, the Ming army in front of them was simply a group of villains.

They did not contact themselves, but instead walked around and fired continuously, accompanied by the sound of muskets, and large groups of people fell down on their side.

Seeing that a large area of ​​Jiangning Army's muskets were knocked down before they even came into contact, Luo Rucai was so angry that his face turned blue.

"The dog officers and soldiers are so shameless. If you have the ability to fight me face to face, what kind of hero is he who hurts people with a firearm!"

If Jiannu was here at this moment, he would pat Luo Rucai on the shoulder to comfort him.

This is just the basic operation of the Jiangning Army, and they have not used more shameless tactics and tactics, such as the most vicious poisonous smoke cartridges.

The next thing was just as Luo Rucai expected. These cavalry did not contact them directly, but continued to pass by their periphery with the speed of war horses, and then kept firing at them with firearms.

On the surface, Luo Rucai has more than 20,000 troops under his command, and the number of cavalry in Jiangning Army is only one-tenth of his.

But it was because of this number of people that the Jiangning Army beat Luo Ru to the point of no temper.

The bandits wanted to fight back, but they suffered from the lack of effective counterattack methods.

Some people may say that you can use a crossbow to fight back.

But I'm sorry, for the poor and innocent bandits, the bow and crossbow are really a rare thing.

Even a small number of crossbows were assigned to the thieves and bandits in the old camp, and the ordinary bandits were almost not equipped with such things.

The most important point is that it is not that simple to cultivate a qualified archer. Without more than one year of training, you cannot train a qualified archer.

Most of the bandits are from ordinary people and have never been exposed to bows and arrows in their lives. Even if they are sent to them, they will not use them. This has also caused the passive beating situation now.

After several rounds of attacks, the bandits finally couldn't hold on anymore. They could not fight back just by being beaten. No one could stand this kind of thing.
