Rout!

Fear is contagious on the battlefield, just like a malignant infectious disease. Once it spreads, it is difficult to control. Even the elites who have fought a hundred battles will be infected by the fear spread around them. In fact, the so-called "

The "camp roar" is basically due to fear, because people's inner fear, even despair, when thousands of thieves fled toward the rear, they threatened all the people in the rear to escape together, whether they wanted to or not, they all

Forced to be among them, they fled to the rear.

Where is the rear?

It’s Baoding City!

When the bandits were defeated in the pursuit of the assault troops, the cavalry, which had been waiting for a long time, also followed and charged into the depths of the bandits. Tens of thousands of cavalry "flew" toward the intruders like a discharged cannonball.

Behind them were the infantrymen who were expanding their victory. The shrill whistle, like a crow's scream, echoed in the night sky, and what was even more shocking was the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry, like thunder in the summer.

echoed across the land.

When these cavalrymen rushed into the midst of the fleeing thieves, they did not even use double-barreled muskets, but used cavalry swords. They waved the sabers in their hands and chased them behind. With the impact of the horses, the sharp blades could easily kill them.

Cutting off the head of the thief, the appearance of the cavalry only intensified the fear of the thief. In order to survive, they had to run back desperately.

There were those who fled, but there were also those who fought. The gunners in the artillery sheds also tried to fire cannons to stop the cavalry attack, but there was no artillery shed covered by infantry, even if there were French guns and red-coated cannons, they were faced with a tidal wave.

The cavalry that came like a swarm were helpless. Even when the tomb-like gun shed burst into flames and exposed themselves, the cavalry immediately killed them, went around behind them and threw a bullet into the doorway.

Hand grenades, sometimes grenades even detonated the gunpowder in the artillery shed. The violent explosion not only overturned the artillery fort, but also shook the earth. The light of the explosion reflected the figures of these cavalry. With this light, the cavalry looked like

They are like evil ghosts emerging from hell, rushing to kill on the battlefield. The cavalry swords in their hands are like the sickles of death, harvesting life in this "wheat field".

For these thieves without armor protection, those cavalry swords are simply "big killers". Even if the officers and soldiers on horseback just slash lightly, with the momentum of the horse, they can be cut off in half.

The cavalry who rushed into the bandits were like the steel knives of a meat grinder, twisting their bodies in the crowd with their sabers. For a time, the crowd was full of blood splatters, even in the dark night

When they saw the blood, they couldn't see the broken arms or heads flying around, but the strong smell of blood filled the air. Even the cavalrymen found that their pants were wet - soaked with the blood of the thieves.

For the surviving bandits, facing the cavalry chasing them from behind, they have long lost the courage to resist. They have only one thought in their hearts - escape!

The only way to survive is to escape.

On the battlefield, this seems to be a simple truth. Even many veteran soldiers have chosen to escape. It's not that they don't know that it is very dangerous to leave their backs to the officers and soldiers, but they obviously can't care about it at this time.

There are so many, if everyone escapes, the one who doesn't escape will definitely die!

People always cherish life and fear death. Even the most courageous people can't help but choose to save their lives in this kind of chaos and defeat.

And when everyone makes such a choice, collapse will inevitably occur.

However, despite the rout at the front, as soon as he learned the news, Gao Yigong led three thousand elite soldiers from the old battalion and charged towards the front.

"Everyone shouts together and forms a formation on the spot. Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy! Shout loudly! Fire arrows and stop them with arrows!"

Although it is difficult to distinguish each other at night, the shouts of thousands of old camp soldiers still play a certain role. Of course, the real effect is the bow and arrow. Although the bows and arrows of the bandits are of average quality, for the bandits without protection

, but it was very lethal, and its rate of fire was very fast. Amidst the showers of arrows, and accompanied by thousands of people shouting in unison, the intruders who had been retreating unexpectedly stopped.

Is death ahead?

If you retreat, you will die. What should you do?

Just when these retreating bandits didn't know what choice to make, the cavalry chasing them noticed something unusual in front of them. Almost as soon as they realized that the bandits were reorganizing their team, Su San shouted loudly to the messenger on the side.

shouted.

"Signal tube, signal tube, hit the bandits!"

Following Su San's order, several signal tubes were fired in the direction of the bandits. The fiery red signal tubes lit up the sky like flares, and also reflected the frightened faces on the ground.

The bandits looked at the red signal flares in horror, their worried faces full of confusion.

What is this thing for?

These thieves don't know. It means other people don't know the signal, but what it is used for, it is used to indicate the target.

Almost as soon as the red signal flares tore through the darkness and flew towards the bandits, the artillery officers at the rear discovered them, and they immediately issued an order:

"The firing angle is increased by three degrees, and the artillery fire covers the enemy's depth!"

Following the order, the artillerymen who had been waiting for a long time immediately adjusted the firing angle of the tornado rocket according to the order, and then lit the fuse. The red fire snake quickly burned to the rear of the gun. The moment the fire snake disappeared, suddenly

The launch tube spit out a cloud of white smoke. The smoke mixed with the tail flame. The next moment, the flame suddenly tore through the dark night, making a strange whistling sound and flying into the sky. Almost at the same time, a series of tornado rockets flew away.

After going out, for a while, the only sound left between the sky and the earth was the "chirp" sound of the cyclone rocket being launched.

The artillerymen who had been waiting finally used all their accumulated strength. Hundreds of cyclone rocket launchers fired nearly two thousand cyclone rockets in less than a few seconds. These cyclone rockets dragged

With streaks of fiery red tail flames lighting up the dark night sky, they flew into the distance like a meteor shower falling from the sky.

Such a bombardment would be a disaster not only for the bandits of this era, but also for the army three hundred years later. Nearly two thousand rockets accurately covered the rear of the bandits.

At the moment when the cannonballs fell like a storm, everything in the world was lit up by the explosion flames. At this moment, the darkness seemed to disappear, and the sky and the earth were ignited by the cyclone rockets. The night was ignited by the artillery fire.
