Easily penetrating the array of tens of thousands of thieves, Yu Feng turned his horse's head and looked back, a thousand iron horsemen had already circled behind him and re-lined up, without losing a few people.

"Kill!"

Yu Feng raised his long knife high, hit the horse like flying again, and rushed towards the thief army array from another position.

At this moment, the 30,000 thief army has become a mess, and in the face of the Ming cavalry that is galloping again, no one dares to meet it, crying and shouting one by one to escape, but they are trampled into pulp by the galloping iron hooves.

For the infantry, if they can form an array well, repel the enemy with shields and spears, and kill and injure the enemy with long-range weapons such as bows, crossbows, firearms, and firearms, let alone 1,000 cavalry, even 10,000 cavalry will not be able to break through the array of 30,000 infantry.

But the problem is that the 30,000 people of the Western Army, who were already hungry and had no strength, were exhausted to death after a night of harassment by the Ming army. Tired and hungry, in order to capture the food of the Ming army, he ran out of the camp for several miles, drove away the Ming army, and after seizing the food, he found that the damn Ming army was pouring feces in the cauldron and could not eat it at all. The morale that was originally forcibly lifted was suddenly discharged, and while the 30,000 soldiers scolded the Ming army, their morale and strength were also gone, where was the strength to resist the sudden attack of the Ming army's iron cavalry?

As a result, Wang Shangguo, the commander of the Western Army, sadly saw that a thousand Ming cavalry were rampage in his own array, and his 30,000 people only knew how to cry and avoid fleeing, and no one dared to resist at all, and the 30,000 elite of the Western Army were like lambs slaughtered in front of the 1,000 cavalry of the Ming Army, and they had no ability to fight back.

Wang Shangguo tried to look into the distance, and saw that in the direction of Jiujiang City, more and more Ming troops were driving out of the city, approaching the Western Army camp.

It's over, it's all over, it seems that the Ming army is going to launch a general offensive today, leaving no time for the Western Army to retreat! Wang Shangguo suddenly felt in his heart, but at this time, he had no choice at all, except for the hundreds of personal soldiers around him, he had completely lost the ability to control the 30,000 army.

When Yu Feng led his cavalry to rush into the Western Army array for the third time, he saw Wang Shangguo and his gang surrounded by hundreds of people at a glance, among the tens of thousands of people in the chaos, this group of people was so obvious, they were the only group of people who could keep the array intact. And looking at the flag that fluttered to the highest in the middle of this group, and then looking at the clear appearance of the armor of this group, this is where the commander of the tens of thousands of thieves is!

Yu Feng sneered, rode his horse towards the thief army, and when he galloped, he shook the long knife held high, then put the long knife across the saddle, and took off a short spear from the horse's belly.

With Yu Feng's movements, the thousand cavalry behind him also took out short spears of the same style.

When he was more than twenty steps away from the gang of thieves, the short spear in Yu Feng's hand was raised backwards, and then he threw it forward fiercely.

"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh", with Yu Feng's movements, thousands of short guns flew out, and the initial velocity of the throwing and the high speed of the war horse made these thousand short guns carry great momentum, and they rushed towards the thief array like a meteor falling.

The hundreds of soldiers under Wang Shangguo are much higher than ordinary soldiers in terms of equipment and food on weekdays, and when other soldiers can only eat half full, they can fill their stomachs, so their combat power is far better than Tongji.

In the face of the galloping enemy horsemen, they barely maintained the queue, and the shields and spears formed a small but sturdy array, guarding Wang Shangguo tightly in the middle.

However, the thousands of short spears that fell from the sky brought them bad news, and their shield spear array was to protect them from the frontal onslaught of the enemy horsemen, but they did not care about the sky above. Although each of them wore helmets and leather armor, whether it was an iron helmet or an armor made of thick cowhide, they were like half of a paper paste in the face of the short spears falling from the sky, pierced in front of the great momentum of the sharp spear tip.

With a scream, hundreds of elite soldiers were stabbed to death by the short guns falling from the sky, and the small but sturdy array collapsed in an instant.

Wang Shangguo turned around to avoid a short spear, and swung his knife to cut off the other two short spears that fell from the sky, just straightened up, and a horse had suddenly galloped to his side, and then a dazzling white light flashed, Wang Shangguo felt that he was floating lightly into the air, and when he flipped over, he saw that the soldiers who had collapsed were crying and shouting and fleeing, and most of his hundreds of soldiers had fallen, and some of them were still alive looking at themselves in shock, and when they looked again, they saw a familiar body, and blood was gushing out along the broken neck, It must have been my body, and with this last realization, everything was plunged into darkness......

As Wang Shangguo was battled, the last resistance of the 30,000 Western Army collapsed, most of the soldiers cried and ran in the direction of the camp, and many soldiers did not want to flee anymore, so they threw down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

When Chen Yue personally commanded tens of thousands of troops to arrive, he saw tens of thousands of thieves like a herd of lambs, being driven by Yu Feng's 1,000 cavalry to flee in the direction of the camp. Tired and hungry, the thieves were forced to summon their last potential in the face of the threat of death, screaming and rushing to their camp.

And Yu Feng had already followed the path opened up by the rout, and also rushed into the camp of the thief army. And at this moment, this thief army camp that stretches for dozens of miles by the mountains and lakes has been boiling as if it was a pot.

This battle is the final decisive battle, Chen Yue in addition to bringing out the 10,000 elites who have been repairing for a few days, and 50,000 ordinary soldiers have been transferred, and now there are less than 10,000 soldiers left in Jiujiang and the strong men who are transferred to defend the city.

After rushing to the battlefield, Chen Yue did not hesitate, and the 10,000 elites were divided into three roads by him, attacking the camp of the thief army from three directions, and each road was followed by 10,000 or 20,000 ordinary soldiers.

The walled wall on the north side has been driven away by Yu Feng with the rout of the Western Army, and the corpses of the rout of the Western Army are piled up in the trench, and Chen Yue commanded the army to enter the camp of the Western Army without hindrance.

When the thieves tried to stop them, they were first attacked by a storm of firebolts and crossbow artillery, and they were routed.

These 10,000 elites have been armed to the teeth by Chen Yue, and two-thirds of them are firecrackers, armed with sophisticated muskets from Zhoushan. The other third are pikemen, but each of them carries a crossbow behind their backs, and can attack from near and far. In addition, each general flag is equipped with one Franc machine cannon and two Tiger squat guns. The Franc machine is specially mounted on the gun carriage, and when marching with a mule horse, the tiger squat cannon can be carried by a soldier, and then equipped with a soldier who carries ammunition and projectile bags.

When encountering resistance, the gun carriages were pushed forward one after another, and the gunpowder and projectiles wrapped in oil paper were quickly loaded into the gun chamber in advance, and then it only took one round of artillery to go down, and the array of thieves was bombarded, and another round of muskets was fired, and nearly half of the thieves would be shot, and the rest could only flee.

Organized large-scale thieves are carried out by elite soldiers, and after being defeated, ordinary soldiers rush over and slash and kill, and when they encounter the tent barracks of the Western Army, a grenade will still pass, and after the explosion, several ordinary soldiers rush in to harvest the fruits of the battle.

Under this precise coordination, the speed of the attack was very fast, and the tired, sleepy and hungry Western army could not form much resistance at all.

The defeat of a western army often leads to a larger rout. Although the army of hundreds of thousands is huge, it is impossible to give full play to the advantage of numbers when it is hungry for many days, sleepy and tired.

Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth and issued one order after another, and countless armies were driven to the battlefield by him, besieging the Ming army that had attacked the camp. However, an army could not hold out for a moment, and was defeated in a rain of bullets.

"Report, Your Majesty, Ma Yuanli, the governor of the left army, was killed, and the soldiers of the army were defeated."

"Report, the former military governor Wang Dingguo was seriously injured, and the soldiers of the department were defeated."

One bad news after another came, making Zhang Xianzhong angry and frightened. Standing on the low hill and looking at it, there were all the routs of their own troops running wildly, and the Ming army in red military uniforms were like three sharp knives, stabbing fiercely into the depths of their camp. And the damned Ming cavalry, like the same catfish, galloped through their own camp, and riots spread wherever they passed.

"Your Majesty, I can't hold it anymore, let's withdraw quickly!" Seeing that the queue of the Ming army was getting closer and closer, and the Ming army in the middle was only more than half a mile away from the low hill where Zhang Xianzhong's royal car was, Wang Zhaolin, the prime minister of the left, panicked and hurriedly said to Zhang Xianzhong.

"Withdraw? Where to retreat? Zhang Xianzhong opened his red eyes and glared at Wang Zhaolin angrily.

"Just retreat according to the original plan, while there is still time, you can make a soldier disguise himself as Your Majesty and sit here to command, let's quietly leave the camp, retreat to Jianchang, and then flee along Xiushui to Ningzhou, cross Mufu Mountain to Huguang, and meet General Anxi!"

I have to say that Wang Zhaolin is still a little anxious, and he came up with Li Daitao's plan in a panic! Zhang Xianzhong's imperial driver and banner are here, if he himself escapes, the entire battalion will no longer be able to resist in an instant. And if the whole army is defeated, Zhang Xianzhong will not be able to escape at all when the rout army escapes, which is also the reason why Zhang Xianzhong is unwilling to flee like this.

According to Wang Zhaolin's strategy, he ordered someone to disguise himself as Zhang Xianzhong to stay here, and the other soldiers of the Western Army thought that their emperor was still here, which could also inspire some courage to fight, and there were other soldiers who resisted the attack of the Ming army, Zhang Xianzhong and his party could naturally escape further.

After listening to Wang Zhaolin's words, Zhang Xianzhong was very moved, but he was still hesitating.

"Your Majesty, as long as you can withdraw, there will still be hope for our Daxi, and we will come back in the future to avenge the brothers!" Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's hesitation, Wang Zhaolin hurriedly continued to persuade.

"Your Majesty, just leave as the prime minister said, the last general is willing to pretend to be you and guard here, commanding the army to resist the Ming army!" Zhang Xianzhong's confidant general, and also one of Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons, Zhang Pengyi, the captain of the Imperial Forest Military Academy, resolutely begged Zhang Xianzhong.

Although he was brutal, Zhang Xianzhong still had a large number of loyal subordinates, especially several of his adopted sons, all of whom were adopted by Zhang Xianzhong when they were teenagers and were loyal to him.

"Pengyi, my son......" Zhang Xianzhong's lips trembled.

"Your Majesty, don't delay any longer," Zhang Pengyi said and helped Zhang Xianzhong take off his clothes and armor.

In the panic, not many people saw that Zhang Xianzhong had changed his clothes and horses, and under the escort of more than 100 personal guards, he rushed towards the south of the camp in the name of heralding.

On the low hill, Zhang Pengyi was wearing Zhang Xianzhong's clothes, straddle Zhang Xianzhong's famous white war horse, with a calm face, and the black flag beside him waved fiercely with the breeze.

......

In Poyang Lake, a dozen miles away from Daying, an equally fierce boat battle was underway.

Dozens of tall warships were advancing by leaps and bounds, and the sound of "boom, boom, boom" cannons was like thunder, and the small ships of the Western Army in front of them were smashed by the shells, and the hull of Qi Qi was broken.

Today happened to blow the northwest wind, dozens of three-masted sea ships have raised their full sails, although the speed of the ship is not too fast, the huge momentum it carries is unmatched, the commander of the Xiying Navy Division Wang Fuchen commanded hundreds of warships to meet it, but the flat-bottomed river boats of the Western Army are not able to be hit by sea ships at all. If it happens to be hit head-on, the tall ship will plow the river boat into the bottom of the lake, and in an instant it will break into two and sink into the lake.

The Western Army collected thousands of ships, but they were not at all the opponents of the Ming army's strong ships and artillery, so for more than a month, they were firmly blocked in Poyang Lake, and they could not break through the Yangtze River from the mouth of the lake at all, and could only storm the two cities of Jiujiang and Hukou.

In fact, Chen Yue knew that even if he annihilated the sailors of the Western Army, he would not lose much to the strength of the Western Army, after all, hundreds of thousands of Western troops were more infantry. In addition, Galen warships and other ships were too precious, and Chen Yue didn't want to lose in Jiujiang like this, so except for the battle when he attacked Zhang Wenxiu at the beginning, Chen Yue never used the naval fleet, but just let them rely on artillery fire to firmly block the mouth of the lake and prevent the thief army from entering the Yangtze River from the mouth of the lake.

Now that the Ming warships are powerful, the generals of the Western Army and the Navy know that they are really powerful. The cannon of the giant ship is not at all able to resist the narrow river ships of the Western Army, although Wang Fuchen wants to attack with a fireboat, but when the giant ship is traveling at high speed, it is difficult for the fireship to get close to the giant ship. Not to mention that there were a hundred and ten smaller warships around the giant ship.

On the largest Galen battleship, watching his own giant ship crush the thief ship, Sima Nan's face showed a faint smile, how could the toy-like boat compare with his own giant ship? Unconsciously, the Ming fleet had broken through the interception of the Western Army and approached the western shore of the lake.

On the west side of the lake, the Western Army camp has been routed, and the rout has also spread to the water camp, the West Camp Water Division is simply unable to resist the attack of the Ming fleet, except for a few ships to meet the battle, most of the ships are parked in the water village. Standing at the bow of the boat, you can see that the Western army in the water village is also in chaos. After a while, the resisting Western warships were either sunk, the others fled, and the Ming naval division did not pursue.

"The thief army has been defeated, and the artillery bombardment of the thief army camp is planned to respond to the attack of the national prince." Lu Tai, the commander of the naval division, issued an order, and with his order, dozens of three-masted sea ships fired a hundred cannons in unison and launched an artillery bombardment into the depths of the Western Army camp.

Zhang Xianzhong was evacuating the camp with more than 100 subordinates, and suddenly hundreds of shells fell into the camp, among which a shell happened to hit the front of the side of the horse, and it bounced up and hit Zhang Xianzhong's horse at once.

With a "poof", everyone fell to the ground, and Zhang Xianzhong rolled on the ground and spurted blood.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Zhaolin's frightened screams rang out......
