The Qing army under Kong Xigui first ate a salvo of more than 2,000 flintlock guns at close range, and it was just when the liver and gall were broken, but unexpectedly, the Ming army gave up the advantage of firearms and directly rushed up to fight with a white blade.

For a moment, these captives seemed to have forgotten that they still had weapons in their hands, and only a few thousand people pretended to have the courage to gesture at the white pole army with swords and spears, and they were immediately poked by the uniform bayonets.

And the person who was about to turn around and run away saw this scene, and no longer hesitated, shouted, threw his blade and ran wildly.

It all came so fast.

As soon as Kong Xigui's men and horses rushed up, and before the formation was ready, they were hit by a thunderous blow from the white pole army, and then they scattered in a fan shape.

So much so that the officers who supervised the battle behind them did not react, and some of them waved their knives to kill the deserters, but they were overwhelmed by the surging flow of people, and even many of the overseers were squeezed to the ground and trampled into pulp.

Kong Xigui was also shocked, knowing that this Ming army was definitely not a "Taiyuan rebel", he hesitated and wanted to hold on a little longer, but saw that the guards next to him were robbed of their horses by deserters, and they fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

He didn't dare to hesitate any longer, pulled over a henchman beside him and shouted: "Go and order the cavalry, let them try to drag the southern army!" ”

"This, obey ......"

Then Kong Xigui turned his horse's head and joined the ranks of the rout, still secretly saying, fortunately, it was not far from the camp of He Luohui, and he only had to run five or six miles to be safe.

When he ran, the Yu army under his command was even more demoralized, and they only hated their father and mother for not giving themselves two more feet, and they only cared about running wildly, pushing and trampling each other, and they had killed and injured more than 1,000 people without the Ming army.

On the east side of the battlefield, Kong Xigui's 800 cavalry was entangled with the spear array of the White Pole Army.

The White Pole Army had not yet mastered the hollow phalanx, and still used the old style of spear and fire to defend against cavalry, although the long-range firepower was much weaker, but the spear phalanx had an advantage when dealing with cavalry - it could be flexible and mobile.

Only 500 spearmen formed several "rectangles" of five rows and fifteen columns, constantly changing angles, separating the enemy cavalry from the periphery of the infantry line. Even if there is an occasional omission, the cavalry of the White Pole Army on the side will also fill in in time.

Therefore, until the infantry of the Yu army began to collapse, their cavalry did not get the slightest advantage, but was stabbed by spears dozens of people without carelessness.

The officer commanding the cavalry of the Yu army did not know why, but seeing that his main force was defeated, only when another Ming army was attacking, he immediately beckoned his men to bypass the east side of the infantry line of the Baipole Army and fled in the direction of Linfen.

On the way, he met Kong Xigui's herald, and when he heard that the Lord was going to send him to death, he couldn't help but feel very cold, and immediately beheaded the person, and he didn't look back.

Ma Wannian led his troops to chase after him again, and it was already very close to Linfen, but his cavalry company always led people to gallop over, panting and saying: "General, it's not appropriate to chase anymore." Only then did the enemy flee, and his subordinates followed to cover and kill, and saw the thief camp in the east of Linfen City, which stretched for more than two miles, and was afraid that there were more than 10,000 people. ”

Tens of thousands? Ma Wannian frowned and said, "Can you see who is in charge of it?" ”

"General Hui, like He Luohui's Jianzhou inlaid with white flags and Ma Fengzhi's Shanxi soldiers."

"It turned out to be the main force of the Jianyu attacking Linfen." Ma Wannian wanted to order the White Pole Army to return to the camp, but casually asked again, "How is the thief battle array?" ”

The general of the company arched his hand and said: "General, there is still smoke in the thief camp, as if they are burying a pot to make food, and the subordinates only see them leaving the camp in a hurry, and they have not yet seen the military formation......"

"Oh?" Ma Wannian looked at the enemy army who was desperately fleeing like a lost dog, and his eyes flashed, "Since the thief is so careless, it is a rare opportunity!" ”

He said to the herald: "Quickly contact the second uncle and ask him to come for reinforcements as soon as possible." Then he waved his hand to the officer beside him, "Brothers, work hard for a while, and follow me to disturb the camp of the thieves!" ”

"But by the general's orders!"

……

He Luohui had already taken off his armor, and was staring at the map with dried meat in his hand, thinking about how to attack the city tomorrow, but suddenly heard a faint sound of artillery from the north, and he was quite puzzled, "Kong Xigui is diligent, and he has already started attacking the rebel army before dark." ”

Unexpectedly, a horse from Tanma soon came to report that Kong Xigui's army had been defeated and that the rout army was coming towards this side.

He Luo would be shocked, and secretly scolded the green battalion of the Yu army for being a waste in his heart, while instructing his lieutenant generals, "Order, the north side of the whole army camp will form a formation!" ”

He came to attack Linfen City, and Jiang Pai had no power to fight back, so the Qing army camp was a series of tents, and almost no defensive measures were built, so they could only line up outside the camp to meet the enemy.

The Qing soldiers were cooking food, and they all complained when they heard the drums of the preparations for war. The soldiers of Jianzhou with white flags were still able to abide by military discipline, but Ma Fengzhi's green battalion looked at the food that was cooked immediately, and was reluctant to move, until the officer waved the whip to drive people away, and then he reluctantly went to assemble.

As soon as the more than 4,000 Jianzhou soldiers of the Heluo Club Department barely gathered, before they could arrange up, they heard the noise of people in the northwest direction, and the wails and frightened cries were mixed together.

"Run, the Dragon Guards are chasing!"

"The chief soldier is dead, it's all over!"

"Linfen is in front, there is a ...... saved"

"Come and answer...... Uh-"

He Luohui was still tying the belt on the cotton armor, and he saw the crowd of black pressure in the distance surging like a tide, but he didn't see a flag, it was Kong Xigui's defeated army.

He frowned, and was hesitating whether to let these routs go, when suddenly his general came with a few horsemen and said, "General, this is the cavalry of Kong Xigui's cavalry Qianzong Liuke." ”

After the surnamed Liu did not follow Kong Xigui's military order, he was afraid of being dealt with by military law, so he relied on his horse and rushed to the camp of He Luohui to complain, "General Yu, our army just unexpectedly encountered the southerners, but Kong Xigui was afraid of the enemy, and as soon as he engaged in battle, he fled in panic, so that the army was completely defeated!" ”

"Bastard!" He Luo would say angrily, "Where is the noble Kong Xi?!" ”

His lieutenant general whispered on the side: "General, the Yu army has tens of thousands of horses, no matter how strong Rao is a barbarian, it will not collapse in an instant......

He Luo's eyes narrowed, "What do you mean?" ”

"General, now the barbarian soldiers are very fierce, this surnamed Kong is a Han Chinese, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not collude with Nanming."

He Luohui's heart jumped, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and hurriedly ordered: "Order, none of Kong Xigui's defeated troops are allowed to be put into the camp, and those who dare to approach without permission will be killed immediately!" ”

"Huh!"

"Send someone to contact Aobai and tell him that Kong Xigui may defect to the enemy, and let him pay attention. By the way, it's better to ask him to send someone to help! ”

"Huh!"

Kong Xigui's men and horses did not know that they had been characterized as "collaborating rebels", and under the pursuit of the white pole army behind them, they all rushed forward in the direction of the camp of He Luohui with hope, thinking that they would be safe when they saw their own people.

Unexpectedly, the drums in the army with white flags were loud, and some captives kicked their horses out and said loudly: "If you dare to take half a step forward again, there will be no mercy!" ”
