open sea

Chapter 70
In this era, Chen Mu has never seen a group of hundreds of people who can barely be called an 'army' escape.

In other words, the military system still exists, and the soldiers have armor and smooth command, so at most it is considered a transfer, and it is impossible to say that they are fleeing.

But the army they just defeated was indeed a group of rout soldiers, and the interesting thing is that the one who met them was also a group of rout soldiers—the Guards Army.

The encounter at the foot of Shishan Mountain was probably the most embarrassing battle Chen Mu had ever fought in his life.

Since the guards who acted as scouts fled back to the camp and informed the whole army that there were enemies in Kinki, the mountain road, Bai Yuanjie ordered to notify every hundred households, and it took half an hour for the enemy troops to attack the mountain road in a swarm.

Half an hour left enough time for the guards to prepare. More than 400 banner troops led by hundreds of households formed an array in the valley road to prepare for the enemy's impact.The formation was arranged according to Bai Yuanjie's plan—it was useless!
Seeing more than 700 rebels roaring across the mountain road in formation, the moment they met the enemy army was still [-] paces away, the guard army's formation was broken, and the [-]% banner army dropped their weapons and turned their heads and screamed and ran towards the camp.

Thirty percent of the troops routed is enough to cause the entire army to shake, especially among the seven hundred households, there are no guards who can match the commanding skills of Bai Yuanjie or Deng Zilong. At this time, Chen Mu watched the battlefield change from the back of the formation, and the consequences were almost predictable. More than a hundred guards are about to be defeated across the board before the battle.

"Run, there are too many enemies!"

"Bai, Bai, Baihu, run slowly, the brothers behind have not moved yet!"

The flag army of Chen Mu's tribe blocked the mountain road behind the formation, and ordered the bird gunner to plug the matchlock. The Xiangyong flag army put down the spear and directed at the fleeing friendly army, and ordered: "Raise the gun, let it go!"

Bang, bang, bang!
"Those who rush into the battle will die immediately, and hide on both sides!"

Without thinking about the time, the gunners of Shiqi's department fired their guns first and shot a few deserters to death. Chen Muli raised his sword and shouted loudly. Prepare.

The valley road is narrow, and if there is chaos in front, they will inevitably recoil their formation. If they don't dodge, they will hit a place and be slashed and killed by the swarming enemy troops. If they dodge, it will affect the barbarian battalion behind.From the beginning of the defeat of the guards, there was only one choice left for him.

Get out of the way and fail to complete Yu Dayou's military order. If you are lucky, Bai Yuanjie will be convicted. If you are not lucky, Bai Yuanjie will die with him.

If you don't dodge, you can only stop the rout with your own strength. Relying on more than 70 people under your banner to stop more than [-] rout troops and more than [-] enemy troops, this is more difficult than seeking death.

But things were beyond Chen Mu's expectations.

When Chen Mu stood on the boulder and looked at the front army, he realized that not only the guards were timid and afraid of fighting, but also the rebels who escaped from nowhere... The rebels who were more than 400 steps away from the opposite side rushed across the valley and saw the guards. Forming an formation to block them, their formation was first chaotic, and the defeated flag troops on both sides fled behind them almost at the same time.

The only difference is that the rebel army is in chaos before, and the banner army is in chaos behind.

This is a rare good time, and it is also a rare bad situation, like two beasts revealing their soft bellies to each other at the same time, which one gets up and stretches its teeth and claws quickly, and which one can see and kill the other!
"The enemy army has been defeated, please Zhang Baihu lead the crowd to kill the enemy!"

Chen Mu yelled loudly, and the first person to react was Wei Balang, a foolish boy, as if he was blessed in his heart, he jumped up high and shouted with all his might, "The enemy army is defeated, please fool Zhang to lead the crowd to kill the enemy! "

The voice was loud and clear, but in an instant it was overwhelmed by the shouts of the flag army led by Shao Tingda and others.

There is no other reason why Chen Mu called Zhang Yongshou, but because his performance was really outstanding among the seven hundred households.

The vicissitudes of life on the battlefield are especially obvious at the moment of collapse. Seeing the crowd of enemy troops, several hundred households either left the flag army and fled alone, or ran together with the flag army, but most of them were unable to restrain themselves at all. Banner Army, seeing his subordinates running around with their heads covered.

Zhang Baihu is different from those timid villains. He stands motionless in front of the formation with a knife in his hand, with more than 40 banner troops of the headquarters behind him. Mu looked at each other, raised his saber forward, his beard and hair were all stretched out, his face reddened already.

"Chop these idiots!"

Zhang Baihu's family history has not passed down the experience of using soldiers to fight the army, and the blood of the generals' children is still there.

The humming bugle sounded behind him, and while Zhang Yongshou led the crowd to charge, Bai Yuanjie waved the command flag behind the formation, and the soldiers of the Manliu Battalion who survived the bloody battle in Xinjiang were divided into two groups and marched forward, one on the left and one on the right to catch Chen Mu's army raised their spears and charged.

Bai Yuanjie treated the fugitives much more cruelly than Chen Mu. This posture did not intend to leave a way for the flag soldiers who were determined to escape. They would either follow the lead or be killed by the barbarian camp behind them.

No longer needing to stand on a high place, Chen Mu jumped down from the rock, ordered in a low voice to the flag soldiers around him to protect his left and right sides, ran forward and ordered loudly: "The flag soldiers obey the order, charge with me!"

The army formation slammed forward, like sharp spearheads, forcing the rout in front to split to the sides, and then the sergeants of the barbarian battalion drove them back to attack the enemy with swords and spears. The entire army formation was divided into two sharp arrows, First, Zhang Yongshou led his troops to attack the enemy's formation, and the two wings were supplemented by the Weisuo to defeat the army; then Chen Muqi was used as the front arrow, the two wings were supplemented by the barbarian battalion, and they fought forward with the Zhentian army drum.

The distance of [-] paces is not too far, and the banner officials are in the front ranks, closely following Chen Mu's footsteps.

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps.

Shouts of killing exploded in front of him. Zhang Yongshou fought with the enemy's rout. Chen Mu saw that his banner army was like a nail, nailed into the enemy's formation in a blink of an eye. Wrap them in it.

Fortunately, the Man Liao Battalion forced the fugitives back. Although they were a little distance from Zhang Yongshou's troops, the two armies seemed to be attracted to each other. The defeated army hesitated a little before engaging in the battle, but they seemed to be dragged by an invisible hand and dragged into the battlefield .

The enemies who surrounded Zhang Yongshou's troops left behind Chen Mujun.

The small flag in Shi Qi's hand was raised, the blunderbuss was released, and then the rain of arrows shot to the left and right, and then the barbarian battalion rushed up from the left and right, leaving only a gap in the middle before Chen Mu's eyes.

"Bird guns and crossbowmen, shoot out the gap, and the rest stand up with spears!"

No need for Chen Mu's order, Shao Tingda had already led the swordsmen to the front, protecting the outer perimeter of the impending impact formation, followed by the continuous ringing of guns, and the rain of arrows was thrown towards the gap in the central army, killing and wounding the rebels who turned around and panicked More than ten.

The leader of the rebel army drove his horses around in the chaotic army formation, and kept waving his spears to order the surrounding chaos to collapse. military order?
Seeing the intersection of the two armies in front of the formation, bursts of gunpowder smoke rose from the formation of the officers and soldiers. Before the smoke dissipated, swords, shields and hands burst out of the smoke, and then spears came through the formation like a forest.Under the guard of the sharp men on the left and right, the young general with a hat and armor jumped forward first, holding the Tongbao Japanese knife, slashing down from left to right, and came straight to kill him.

"Riders don't run away!"
