Strictly speaking, Zhang Xianzhong did not feel that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side had any advantage.
Except for the hundreds of officers and soldiers who were causing trouble in the city behind him, the combat power of the officers and soldiers facing him head-on was obviously lower than he had expected, which made him feel a little hot.
His original plan was to overwhelm the officers and soldiers standing in front of him and then retreat to the city to defend for a while, but now he has completely changed his mind.
The number of officers and soldiers was not as large as his, and their combat power was not much greater than that of his men and horses. Apart from the fact that the uniforms of the officers and soldiers on them were more intimidating, it was also the flying spear that surprised him when they first took over the formation.
.
But these flying spears are not bows and arrows. After being thrown, they will not come back and let the officers and soldiers throw them again. This kind of extravagant attack method is likely to cause his men and horses to suffer heavy losses. However, since he has seen
Now, it doesn't have much effect.
As long as they rush into the ranks of officers and soldiers and get close to fight, their flying spears will have no effect at all. The final winner of the battle will be determined by the swords and guns in their hands and the number of soldiers.
"Don't worry about the officers and soldiers in the city. Ergou, you take 300 people to support Zhutou Qi. As long as you eat the officers and soldiers in front of you, I'll see how long they can hold on to the officers and soldiers behind!"
The old brother behind him who was the final word was finally sent out by him. At this moment, the officers and soldiers were cut into two pieces. There were less than a thousand officers and soldiers who rushed over. Taking advantage of their loss of energy, he ate them in one go. He felt that this
The battle is over.
The rest was nothing more than chasing down the defeated officers and soldiers.
At the same time, Li Zicheng, who was on the mountain in the distance, also gave the same order as him. However, the order was slightly different from his. He still needed to leave hundreds of people behind to prevent the officers and soldiers in the city.
They rushed out and disrupted his formation, while Li Zicheng led the team and rushed down the hillside, leaving no one behind.
The sound of firearms that Zhang Xianzhong had always thought did not appear on the battlefield finally rang out. Hundreds of people seemed to shoot arrows from the hillside, fiercely inserted into the bandit army that lay between the two soldiers and horses, almost
In an instant, dozens of people were knocked to the ground.
There was a panic among the bandit army. The bandit army, which was attacked from both sides, almost immediately separated half of its troops, trying to stop this new force that had joined the battlefield. However, they were greeted by bursts of thunderous attacks.
Gunshots.
The companions around them all fell to the ground with blood on their bodies, and most of the bandits faced an attack with firearms for the first time. This was much louder than the movement of bows, arrows and flying spears, and besides, the movement around them
Companions were killed and wounded much faster.
No one told him that at this time, he should avoid these big murderous weapons coming toward them with blazing fire. They could only listen to their leader's orders, hold their weapons high, and use their own flesh and blood to block the officers and soldiers.
As if God was also helping them, these firearms, which made loud noises and killed people extremely quickly, finally became quiet after taking away the lives of more than a hundred people. At the same time, those weapons wielding
The ferocious faces of the officers and soldiers who rushed over with swords, guns and red eyes were clearly visible.
"Kill the thief!"
The war horse under Li Zicheng's crotch knocked a bandit standing in front of him and rolled him to the ground far away. He separated a spear that was stabbing his horse with a knife, directly cut off the arm holding the spear, and then
He rushed into the enemy formation without looking back.
Almost in the blink of an eye, seven or eight bandits armed with long knives and spears surrounded him, and all kinds of weapons were handed towards him and the war horse under his crotch.
Li Zicheng slashed the two guys to death with his sword, and heard a scream from the horse under his crotch. He decisively jumped off the horse, and the tall horse fell to the ground with a crash, crushing the two thieves who had no time to avoid it.
On the ground.
He stabbed them one by one, killing the two guys. Blood spurted onto his face, making his eyes immediately turn red.
The officers and soldiers behind him also rushed over at this time, passed him directly, and collided with the bandits fiercely. The sounds of fighting and screams came one after another. In just a dozen breaths, the men and horses on both sides
A piece fell down.
The battle has lasted for more than a stick of incense. The physical strength of this bandit army has been almost exhausted in the first wave of battle. Compared with these fresh troops who have just joined the battlefield, they can obviously resist.
Somewhat powerless.
When the officers and soldiers who had been entangled with them saw their reinforcements coming, their morale suddenly rose, their shouts became louder, and the fighting became more ferocious. In this short period of time, they were actually more powerful than
He was even more brave when he first took over the battle.
The two armies and horses vaguely looked like they were outflanking this bandit army. This bandit army cut the officers and soldiers into two sections. This also meant that at this moment, there were all officers and soldiers in front of him and behind him, and if there was any resistance,
When they lost momentum, they could only retreat towards Xizhou along the way they came, but there were dead ends on three sides.
I don’t know who was the first to drop his weapons and start running away, or who shouted the first cry. Suddenly, the rout began. The bandits who were fighting with the officers and soldiers in front of them with a ferocious face just a moment ago, next
In an instant, he threw the knife in his hand at the officers and soldiers' faces, then turned around and ran away.
The sound of firearms, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly started to sound again, and the corpses that were knocked down and planted in the mud accelerated their dispersion, and the fighting on the battlefield suddenly turned into a rout and a chase.
"The bandit was defeated!"
"Kill the bandits!"
Such shouts rang out from everywhere on the battlefield. The sound was not loud at first, but slowly, three or two voices joined together, more than ten voices joined together, and dozens or hundreds of voices joined together.
As a result, the only thing that could be heard on the battlefield was the loud shout of "The bandits have been defeated."
The rout spread to the bandits who were fighting in the front army. Many of the officers and soldiers who pursued the fleeing soldiers also joined the troops besieging the front army. The officers and soldiers became a whole again, and they looked even more vicious than before they were cut off.
The great rout was inevitable. Even among the bandit army, there were still many brave people who could fight. However, being swept away by waves of deserters, they could only follow most of the people towards the rear.
Run away, unable to do anything else.
Those who dared to continue fighting with the officers and soldiers on the same spot would either be knocked down and dispersed by their own defeated troops, or they would be surrounded by officers and soldiers several times more numerous than them, and be hacked to death with long knives, stabbed to death with long spears, or stabbed to death with short spears.
.
When two armies confront each other, once a rout occurs, the battle will basically be won or lost.
