The Chuang army became more and more courageous as they fought, and their morale became higher and higher. Bai Wang commanded two groups of troops and followed Li Laiheng into the battle line, turning the Ming army's array into a mess.
The three generals Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi, and Li Shuangxi who had earlier led the cavalry to break through the formation, now led the cavalry troops to pass through the entire Ming army array, from the east formation to the central army. Li Shuangxi
After struggling to kill several people, they saw that Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi had reorganized the cavalry into a wedge formation, so they followed with Dang Shousu and other elite soldiers of Li Zicheng.
They gathered into formation again, broke out from the middle formation of the officers and soldiers, and fought all the way to the west formation, defeating countless officers and soldiers. After breaking out of the west formation, Li Shuangxi looked back and saw the officers and soldiers in the rear in a mess.
, couldn't help laughing and said: "It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure! This killing spree is really enjoyable! I must have a few big bowls of it after I get back to the camp!"
Yuan Zongdi was very dissatisfied with Li Shuangxi's wantonness. He frowned, held a knife in one hand and a riding crop in the other. He stopped his horse and scolded: "There are many officers and soldiers, and it's not time to think about a big victory and drink!"
"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Shuangxi is very brave today, so you don't have to be too harsh in the Han Dynasty examination." Tian Jianxiu has always been a generous person, and he and Li Shuangxi have always had a good relationship. He even almost accepted Li Shuangxi as his righteous man.
Son, at this time, he naturally comforted Yuan Zong with his second sentence.
Among the generals who broke into the camp, Yuan Zongdi's personality was closer to Li Guo's. He was more calm and serious than rough and brave. But there were differences between Yuan Zongdi and Li Guo. Li Guo's character was calm and composed.
There are many factors, and there are many factors in Yuan Zongdi's character that are based on killing and decisiveness.
At this time, Yuan Zongdi looked at the chaotic appearance of the Ming army array behind him, and quickly urged Tian Jianxiu and Li Shuangxi. He concluded that the Ming army had been violently attacked from the side and rear by the main force breaking into the camp, and could no longer fight. At this point,
At that time, the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly reduced, and people were panicked. As long as they fought back from the Western Front to the Eastern Front, they would definitely destroy the officers and soldiers' will to fight.
"Yufeng, Shuangxi, I see that the army is no longer in formation. Now is a good time for us to fight back and defeat the leader. This God-given fighter opportunity, how about I be the leader in the battle?"
After Li Shuangxi heard Yuan Zongdi's request for a battle, he felt a little unhappy. He made a beautiful spear on his horse, shook the blood on the spear to the ground with his wrist, and retorted: "
It’s better for me to be the leader and let Uncle Han Ju take control of the central army. If I don’t kill the officers and generals today, I won’t drink any alcohol this year!”
"Okay, I think we can divide into three teams, left, center and right, and we can ravage the enemy's formation in separate teams."
Tian Jianxiu came up with an idea to neutralize the opinions of Yuan Zongdi and Li Shuangxi. Objectively speaking, his method of dividing the cavalry into three teams was not very smart. After all, the cavalry team that broke into the camp was less than twenty people.
After three teams, the impact was greatly reduced, and it was difficult to exert the full power of the cavalry's trampling formation.
However, on the one hand, the army formation was in chaos and no longer in formation. Even if the troops were divided into three groups, Tian Jianxiu believed that he could easily defeat the enemy;
When working in the camp, he is said to be tolerant and benevolent, but in fact he is a good man. He always maintains relationships with everyone and reconciles conflicting opinions. This style of behavior not only makes Tian Jianxiu lack the courage of Yuan Zongdi, but also makes him quite popular.
People's minds have a strong ability to "gather people".
Yuan Zongdi knew that time was urgent and the fighting will and morale of the officers and soldiers could be restored at any time. He had to destroy the morale of the officers and soldiers with continuous heavy blows. Therefore, he no longer argued with Li Shuangxi and acquiesced to Tian Jianxiu's division of troops.
The idea of the third team was to take the initiative to lead the troops to one side, restrain the cavalry, and form a good formation. Seeing this, Li Shuangxi turned his spear half a circle, pinned it under his arm, and also reined his horse to one side, giving up the position of the squadron.
Gave it to Tami Hide.
"Okay!" Tian Jianxiu cheered when he saw this. He raised a patterned broadsword captured from Fushui Fort at an angle, pointed the blade at a Zheng-character flag at the center of the officers and soldiers, and said, "The officers and soldiers of Shangzhou are guarding
The general is General Zheng Guodong, and under that banner must be Zheng Guodong's central army. Let's go through it in one go and behead this army leader!"
The three cavalry teams turned their horses' heads calmly and unhurriedly. Then the three teams of Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi, and Li Shuangxi shouted almost at the same time, or whipped their horses with whips, or clamped their horses' bellies, causing the horses to roar.
After two sounds, he suddenly rushed out.
Dozens of horse hooves trampled faster and faster. The sound of the hooves was first as clear and sweet as jade beads falling on a plate, then noisy and loud, and the sound gradually became more intense. Finally, it was accompanied by the sound of gold and stone clashing with swords and guns of many soldiers, and finally it sounded like tearing.
Like cloth, swords and guns roared, and cavalry protruded. The three cavalry groups gathered into a storm and swept towards the official formation.
At this time, General Zheng Guodong of the Ming Army was in the middle of the army. There were only a few Mongolian servants around him as personal guards, and the force was very weak. He saw the cavalry breaking into the camp dispersed several groups of officers and soldiers in chaos, and charged directly towards him.
Come, he could no longer resist in his heart, and quickly urged the Mongolian servants to protect him and escape to the rear.
"Let's go, let's go...you guys, please protect me and escort me back to Longju Village. There will be many rewards!"
While Zheng Guodong was urging him, he was quick to think. He ordered his servants to hold up the Zheng Zheng banner and flee towards the east formation, while he circled to the rear and prepared to escape. However, the Chinese army's flag suddenly moved to the east, which made the few in the formation still organize resistance.
The officers and soldiers were in a state of confusion. Someone shouted that General Zheng had run away, and the rest of the soldiers dropped their weapons in a swarm, turned around and started running after him.
In order to cooperate with the flank attack of Li Zicheng's main force, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo's two teams, who had already exhausted their physical strength, desperately went down the mountain to attack the formation of officers and soldiers. The situation was already very critical. At this time, the officers and soldiers suddenly became confused and abandoned their weapons and equipment and fled.
Liu Zongmin and Li Guo are both experienced figures, how could they miss such a good opportunity?
Especially Liu Zongmin, who was limited in strength at the front. He struggled to hold on, suffered many injuries and almost died at the hands of the officers and soldiers. He fought in vain for a long time. At this time, the morale of the officers and soldiers was completely lost, and the whole army was defeated and fled. Of course Liu Zongmin
I want to take revenge and beat up the drowned dog to express my inner anger.
He hurriedly entrusted the other troops to Li Guo's command and deployment, while he mounted the old Ma Tier Ye, and with a dozen or so sharp soldiers who still had physical strength, they clung to the officers and soldiers while driving them away, speeding up the officers and soldiers.
The army suffered a huge rout, while looking for opportunities to kill a few enemy soldiers who still had some courage and fighting spirit.
On the flank of the official army's east formation, Li Laiheng and Bai Wang led their troops along the waist of the official army's formation, cutting the defeated army into two sections from the side.
It was also the first time for Little Tiger to see such a scene. Not long ago, when the army and the army were barely able to maintain a certain organization and resistance, he still felt that it was very difficult. He even felt that victory or defeat was still in between. But this was just the situation.
After a short while, the officers and soldiers whose morale collapsed became nothing more than fish on the chopping board, and their combat effectiveness was so low that Li Laiheng could hardly imagine it.
After he and Bai Wang led a team to intercept an army, these people actually threw their weapons on the ground, crouched on the ground with their heads in their hands, or ran around like headless flies, no matter how hard Li Laiheng and Bai Wang led them.
The soldiers attacked arbitrarily and did not fight back.
This gave Li Laiheng another lesson in military theory. The blow to morale was far more terrifying than the blow to a person. When the morale of an army collapsed, it was no longer an army, but an army.
A defenseless lamb for the slaughter.
In the past, Li Laiheng would wonder how there could be so many wars in ancient times where a small number could defeat a large number. Judging from his combat experience after entering the camp, even if a person was as strong as Liu Zongmin and as brave as Liu Fangliang, he could kill at most seven or eight people.
He no longer had the physical strength to continue fighting. However, in many ancient battles where a small number defeated a large number, there were many people who could defeat an enemy army that was more than ten times their own with a small number of troops.
It seems that this kind of war completely disintegrates the enemy's morale and organization. The battle after this can no longer even be called a battle, but a drive and massacre.
Li Zicheng, who was standing on a small hillside watching the battle, confirmed that Zheng Guodong's army had completely collapsed and disintegrated, and then he finally led the Chinese army into the final battle in person. He and his reserve team had always remained with him.
More than 20 soldiers, with one drum beat, added the final note to the great rout of the Ming army.
