Chapter 1038: The whole army retreated
"Although He Jin has also fought with Lu Xiangsheng's new army, there is no such thing as a catapult in Lu Xiangsheng's army, so he couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while after being attacked by a catapult."
"Boom...... Boom ......"
The continuous explosion continued, and one by one the enlarged versions of the 10,000 enemies were thrown into the army formation of the rogue by the catapult, and most of these bombs fell into the rogue who was supervising the battle behind, but everyone who was in the explosion area was blown up to the flesh and blood.
But even so, the few bombs that exploded among the displaced people also caused great casualties, especially the formation of the displaced people was very dense, and each bomb explosion could kill dozens of lives.
The power of thermal weapons, later generations of people understand, that kind of earth-destroying power can make the strongest people feel fear, although the current Jiangning army still uses black powder, a relatively primitive explosive, but it is enough to cause a huge panic in the hearts of the displaced people who are hit by this kind of blow for the first time.
When they were hit by the first and second rounds, the rogues who were in charge of supervising the battle in the back could still encourage the bullet pressure, but when the third and fourth rounds of bombs were dropped, the outcasts finally collapsed, and in the face of the fear of death, even the overseers could not let them continue to die.
"Run, the Ming army is using demon magic!"
I don't know who shouted in the military formation, and then the cries for escape rose one after another among the displaced people, and the displaced people collapsed in just a few minutes.
"Bastard, don't run, the king has an order, and those who escape without permission will be killed on the spot!"
Wielding a steel knife in his hand, a rogue slashed two elderly men and a child to the ground who had turned and fled, and then shouted: "See, this is what happens to being a deserter, if anyone dares to escape, this is an example for you!" ”
The two sentences of blood-drenched corpses stunned the homeless people who were turning around and fleeing to the rear, and they couldn't help but stop their steps. But when another bomb landed in the crowd and exploded violently, blowing up more than a dozen displaced people around them, the displaced people moved again and rushed backwards at a faster speed than before.
When tens of thousands of homeless people came in unison and turned backwards and ran desperately towards the back, the momentum was extremely staggering, it was like a torrent, swallowing up anything that stood in its way.
"You untouchables, don't ...... Ah......h
As soon as the rogue, who had just killed two homeless people and was in charge of supervising the battle, raised the steel knife in his hand, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and it turned out that more than one teenager had already grabbed his hand and bit it down fiercely, and a large piece of bloody flesh was bitten off like this.
"Ah......h
The rogue, whose wrist hurt, screamed, and the steel knife in his hand fell to the ground.
"Bastard, you little bastard, I'm going to break you to pieces!"
The pale face of the rogue, who was so pale in pain, roared, kicked the boy to the ground, lowered his head to pick up the steel knife, but before he could pick it up again, the homeless people in front of him rushed over and knocked him to the ground, and before he could get up, countless pairs of feet stepped over him.
He could still let out a terrible scream just now, but soon he was silent, and just like that, a originally strong rogue was actually trampled into meat sauce.
In the back, a rogue trembled and said to He Jin: "Boss, those mud legs are crazy, our people can't stand it, hurry up and let the brothers withdraw?" ”
He Jin also showed a frightened look in his eyes, and slapped the rogue on the head and scolded: "Stupid, is it too late to notify now, hurry up and run!" ”
After speaking, He Jin pulled the reins of the horse, beat the horse and ran towards the back, the surrounding rogues also did the same when they saw this, and those who had horses rode horses and those who did not have horses spread their feet and ran desperately backwards, in order to survive, these people who were still wielding butcher knives like fierce gods just now to force the homeless people to go forward to die, villains, and scum ran desperately like frightened birds.
He Jin's escape intensified the frenzy of the rout of the rogues, and the more than 7,000 rogues who supervised the war could no longer care about anything else, and fled desperately towards their own camp one by one.
Gao Yingxiang and the others, who were pressing the formation in the back, saw that the displaced people who were surging towards the Jiangning army formation as if they were dead not long ago had turned around and came towards their own formation, and many people let out an exclamation.
Luo Rucai immediately said: "King Chuang, He Jin and they have retreated, if they let them mess up our main formation, we will be in danger." ”
Gao Yingxiang's face sank like water, he couldn't imagine how the things that were originally planned to become so bad all of a sudden, didn't he say that he wanted to drive these homeless people to let the Ming army slaughter to their heart's content, how could the situation be reversed all of a sudden?
Don't complain that Gao Yingxiang doesn't understand, limited by the limitations of the times, of course he won't understand the fear and panic in a person's heart when he goes to the battlefield for the first time and sees the power of thermal weapons for the first time.
Especially in this era, those who have never received a scientific education even think that God is angry when they see this weapon for the first time, so it is not surprising that morale will collapse instantly.
"King Chuang, what should we do?" It was the first time that everyone in charge encountered this situation, and they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded for a while, and looked at Gao Yingxiang with their eyes.
Gao Yingxiang was obviously a little confused, your sister said that she would exchange the death of the 50,000 mud legs for the chaos of the Jiangning army, and then they took advantage of the chaos of the Jiangning army to rush over and defeat them, but now the situation is reversed, and it is they who are not able to be defeated.
At this moment, Gao Yingxiang was confused, he didn't know whether to continue to send people to suppress those displaced people or immediately order a retreat to prevent suffering greater losses.
Li Zicheng on the side saw Gao Yingxiang, who looked uncertain, and knew that he was still struggling in his heart, so he said on the side: "King Chuang, hurry up and order the withdrawal of the army, drag it out any longer, and when the Ming army comes over, the losses of our righteous army will be heavy." ”
"Well, you're right." was reminded by Li Zhicheng like this, Gao Yingxiang also woke up instantly.
The most taboo thing on the battlefield is hesitation, and as the supreme commander, he should make a decision immediately, otherwise it is very likely that he will lose the lives of all officers and men because of his hesitation.
I saw Gao Yingxiang say in a loud voice: "Pass my order, immediately order the whole army to withdraw to the city, and reorganize the troops and horses in order to fight again." ”
"Retreat...... Hurry up and retreat. ”
"Sons, get back to the city."
With Gao Yingxiang's words, the surrounding leaders also hurriedly issued the order to retreat, and the countless hot ones in the world were all in chaos, and they all rushed to the city.
