At this moment, the disadvantage of the peasant army was fully revealed.

The peasant army has always had a large number of troops, fighting more and fighting less, and overwhelming the outnumbered, and the mighty and mighty makes people feel frightened at first sight. But such a peasant army can fight a good battle, but once it encounters a setback, the whole army will collapse, and it will be difficult to clean up the mess.

So, although he had 100,000 of them, Luo Ru dared to put them up and fight only 20,000 less. The rest of the tens of thousands of people can only be used as the people's bravery, shouting and shouting, cheering and miscellaneous, if you want to send them to fight, you can only use them as cannon fodder to fill the river when attacking the city, as for the field battle, even if Luo Ru is willing, the generals under his command are not willing.

This is because these people are brave and brave, but they have not undergone sufficient training and have no combat experience at all, and they still lack the conviction and will to dare to fight. Such so-called bravery is thrown on the battlefield, and the opponent can scare away dozens of them as soon as they open fire. If you really want to start fighting, you may have to retreat after a while. When the time comes, even if these people are slashed and killed, they will not be able to recover the losses of defeat.

This time, Luo Rucai brought these people over, thinking that he was still planning to use them to fill the city, as well as to carry the spoils in the city after the city was broken.

But the consequences of such a move today are nothing more than a mess that is even more difficult to clean up.

At this moment, Luo Rucai's 20,000 soldiers were defeated, and the deserters rushed to the rear, which immediately made the remaining tens of thousands of homeless people flee in all directions, making the battlefield chaotic.

When the red lady saw this scene, she immediately sprinkled her hands and divided them into squads one after another.

These squads, armed with long guns and short knives, formed a long line, shouting slogans to keep these people from running around, and on the other hand, they were holding guns and knives and slashing the deserters who were running around.

The soldiers who fled on the battlefield, except for a few veterans with a calm and resolute heart, basically all lost their armor, and at this moment, when they saw that the formed army had caught up, they were immediately powerless to resist.

"It's all lined up. No running, no running! ”

"Go to the east, King Chuang's soldiers are coming to fight the official army, don't run in the way of chaos!"

"Go to the northeast and spread out, don't run around here!"

……

Before the Liuyuankou, the red lady originally had about 5,000 soldiers and horses in her hands. These 5,000 or so men were brave soldiers who had eliminated the untrained homeless. All of them can fight with armor and guns. Later, after two battles before and after Liuyuankou, the soldiers and horses of the party defense department were basically exhausted, and only three or four thousand people were left in the end. On the contrary, it was the Red Lady, not only did she not have much damage, but in the end she saved thousands of soldiers from the Party Shousu Department, and after the battle, the soldiers and horses at hand quietly increased by 1,000, reaching more than 6,000 people.

At this moment, the Red Lady divided the six thousand soldiers and horses into small teams and dispersed, and it didn't take long to rectify the chaotic situation on the battlefield.

First of all, nearly 10,000 deserters under Luo Rucai's department were driven to the northeast. Tens of thousands of displaced people who were a little later rushed to the back of the red lady and followed Luo Rucai.

It's just that the Red Lady watched the cavalry battalion of Shandong Town kill towards the northeast, cutting off the junction between this deserter and the Red Lady.

At the same time, after the Red Lady divided her troops to intercept, the retreat finally stopped. Not only did the generals of Luo Rucai's department try to reorganize the routs one after another, but the Red Lady directly pulled more than a thousand elite soldiers who had just been left out to redeploy the formation.

This selection of elite soldiers is also obvious on the battlefield of the rout. It was all Luo Ru who had just lost his money and organized himself from various ministries, that is, he retreated and fled. Also mostly armor and weapons are complete, before each other. The squad of several people, the brigade of more than a dozen people, still retained the organization and did not completely collapse.

Only in this way can these elite soldiers in armor survive on the battlefield full of people, instead of being trampled into pulp.

Quietly, the strength of the Red Lady has reached eight thousand.

And at the moment. The battlefield gradually disappeared and scattered in all directions, which in turn impacted the rout of the peasant army's battle formation.

The officers and soldiers more than 100 steps away came to face the Red Lady's headquarters.

At the same time, the army of the Red Lady has also set up several long formations one after another, with swords, shields, spearmen in the front row, and archers in the back row. Looks like something is going on. The array is like that.

However, when Shandong Town saw the Red Lady's military formation, it did not launch a large army to attack.

Under Zhu Cihong's order, Liu Sheng led the 1st Infantry Battalion and Shi Zhanbang led the 2nd Infantry Battalion to confront the Red Lady, while the Flying Bear Battalion cooperated with Liu Zhen's cavalry battalion to quickly clean up the battlefield and crush the routs in the area controlled by his own side who still dared to resist back and forth.

Seeing that Zhu Cihong's Shandong Town was still raging on the battlefield, and the battle array of the Red Lady quietly devoured a thousand people but did not attack, Li Zicheng's Chinese army was suddenly discussed.

"Why didn't the Red Lady go to attack the soldiers in Shandong Town? At present, they have been weak for a long time, but the Red Lady is a new force. The advantages and disadvantages of this are obvious, what is the reason for fear of not fighting? ”

"The Chinese army in Shandong Town has come out, presumably the guns and ammunition are exhausted, and the red lady has not yet entered the army, what kind of moth is this?"

"Look, there's something wrong with this red lady!"

……

Li Zicheng frowned slightly, looking at the development on the battlefield, ignoring the discussion of the generals, and did not mean to stop these people.

He also understands the embarrassing position of a female general in the army, but the Red Lady can indeed fight, Dongming and Liuyuankou fought three battles before and after, and only the Red Lady followed and became stronger and stronger.

Moreover, Li Zicheng actually recognized what the red lady said in his heart. Luo Rucai is weak at the moment, it is the time when Li Zicheng's heart is full of evil thoughts, if he is bent on overthrowing the Ming Dynasty for the public, then of course he will immediately march into the army, and encircle and annihilate the main force of Kaifeng, Shandong Town, to strengthen the army.

But from Li Zicheng's own point of view, he agrees with what the red lady said. At this time, it was more advantageous to annex Luo Rucai's remnants.

Others only felt that the red lady was afraid of the battle and retreated at this moment, but Li Zicheng saw that Shandong Town was full of momentum, coming with a big victory, and the morale was strong, and it was very difficult to fight. As for the so-called new force and fatigue revealed, Li Zicheng didn't care.

Since the emergence of such a strong enemy as Shandong Town, Li Zicheng has spent a lot of effort to study. Not to mention anything else, what makes Li Zicheng remember deeply is the food in Shandong Town, which is amazingly good. Ordinary soldiers can eat with their stomachs open every day, and not only that, but there is meat every three or five days. As soon as the war arrived, the food was even more uphill, and there was meat and fish, and the oil and water were vigorous every day.

This kind of food has raised soldiers for several months, and the physical strength is strong for a long time, how can it be compared to a soldier like the Red Lady who is barely fed and not hungry?

What's more critical is not only that, Shandong Town's backhand is not over! (To be continued......)
