Under the cover of night and forests, the Hu Zhuang team retreated calmly. After chasing the Ming army, the two chasing troops could not distinguish the position of the Hu Zhuang team, so they had to give up the pursuit and return to the Ming army camp.

"Stop it all, the treacherous ones will be killed without mercy!"

puff!

Several Ming soldiers who still ran around to the Central Camp after escaping from the Right Camp and brought chaos to the Central Camp were killed by the officers. At this time, only blood and death could calm the chaotic crowd. If they could not calm down, the final result would only be to directly bomb the camp like the Ming army led by Hu Zhuang to attack the last night.

Seeing that his colleagues were killed by the officers, the other Ming soldiers gradually calmed down. Before, only the Right Battalion was attacked by night, not the entire Ming army camp was attacked by night, and now the People's Army that was attacked at night has retreated, and the chaos in the Ming army camp could not last long.

"Oh, hurry up and treat the injured." Cao Yun sighed and gave an order.

Cao Yun has been guarding against the enemy's night attacks. Not only did he send a large number of spies to monitor the enemy's military camps, but patrols were constantly patrolling everywhere in his military camps, guarding left and right, but the night attack still occurred. Only a small number of enemy's night attacks brought chaos and considerable casualties to the army.

Suddenly, Cao Yun felt that this battle was difficult and he no longer had the confidence to easily defeat the enemy.

When it was almost dawn, Hu Zhuang's team finally returned to the camp. When they went there, in order to prevent being discovered by Ming army spies, Hu Zhuang's team went around a big circle. When they came back, they didn't need to worry about being discovered by Ming army spies and went back directly.

After returning to the barracks, Hu Zhuang immediately asked the soldiers to go back and rest. He was expected to fight another battle with the Ming army during the day, and the People's Army would take the initiative to attack the Ming army.

As the sky gradually brightened, the miserable situation of the Ming army's right camp appeared in front of all the Ming soldiers and officers.

There were two thousand people in one right camp, and after a night attack, less than a thousand people were intact.

More than a thousand people, most of them were hit by the People's Army's lead bullets during the night attack. Even those who were still alive could no longer participate in the subsequent battle.

The remaining half of the people either fought each other in chaos or ran to other camps in chaos and were killed by the officers to shock others.

There are only 9,000 troops left now. Due to the night attack, the morale of the entire Ming army plummeted. In places where others could not see, Cao Yun looked sad. He didn't know if the soldiers under his command could still defeat the enemy on the other side.

"Retreat the troops?" An idea flashed through Cao Yun's mind. Cao Yun wanted to withdraw his troops, but he could not make this decision easily.

The 60,000 army suppressed the thieves, and the other roads successfully solved the enemy. He lost thousands of people along the way and withdrew his troops without causing much casualties to the thieves. Cao Yun could already think of his ending after the matter was over.

Not only are they ineffective, but they are also demoted lightly.

"What should I do?" Cao Yun sighed.

You cannot retreat or attack. Now you can only stay in place and wait for your morale to recover and then see the movements of the enemy.

Soon, half a morning passed, and the People's Armed Forces, who participated in the night attack, had almost rested. Hu Zhuang immediately led the People's Army to attack the Ming army's location.

The Ming army spies who monitored the People's Army quickly returned with intelligence. When the enemy came, the Ming army could not retreat, at least they could not retreat now. Under Cao Yun's order, the Ming army quickly assembled to prepare for the upcoming People's Army.

"Open fire!"

On the chariot, the tiger-headed guns and artillery of the People's Armed Forces poured ammunition into the Ming army's artillery positions across more than five hundred meters away.

The Ming army artillery soldiers who were still waiting for the People's Army to advance some distance and then fired were directly stunned, with heavy casualties and screams on the positions.

Seeing the tragic scene of the artillery position, Cao Yun was so shocked that he could no longer speak. He finally understood how sharp the thief's firearm was. The musket could actually kill people at such a distance!

The artillery position was damaged, but it did not affect the Ming army's infantry continuing to advance, five hundred meters, four hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters, and the two armies were getting closer and closer.

When the artillery position was damaged, Cao Yun did not order the army to retreat. Instead, he hoped that the infantry could fight close to the enemy and defeat the enemy. Even if the enemy could not be defeated, he would still kill some enemies. Now his own personnel were killed and injured, but the opponent did not suffer much loss and was constantly beaten. Cao Yun couldn't bear this tone.

Just when the two armies were less than two hundred meters apart, they had already destroyed the Ming army's artillery positions and immediately shifted their targets and poured ammunition on the advancing Ming army infantry.

At the same time, the firearms troops were vanguarded by the first-row battalion soldiers, and the cold weapons troops were ready to charge.

Rounds of lead bullets and solid artillery shells were shot out, knocking down rows of Ming troops, and blood was already flowing on the battlefield.

Seeing so many colleagues die, many Ming soldiers wanted to escape, and even timid officers had stopped and dared not continue to move forward.

"Stop going, let's run, the enemy's firearm is so powerful."

"Damn, those officials are hiding behind us and let us die."

"Run quickly, you can't beat the thief. If we lose this battle, we will die if we don't run away."

Under the continuous attack of the People's Armed Forces, the Ming army had no morale in the front of the battle. Now so many people were on the battlefield, and the morale was finally dispersed. The Ming army's front of the army was completely in chaos, and the soldiers fled in all directions, trying to escape from the People's Armed Forces' attack.

"Charge!" Seeing the changes in the front of the Ming army, Hu Zhuang immediately issued an order to charge.

When the sound of charge drums sounded, the People's Army's cold weapons troops rushed out from both wings of the firearm troops and rushed towards the almost chaotic Ming army array ahead.

"Kill! Kill!"

The People's Army shouted and killed, and when they saw the People's Army chasing from behind, the Ming soldiers ran faster.

The front formation of the Ming army was the main target of attack by the People's Army, and the middle formation was relatively stable. However, under the influence of the Ming soldiers who fled backwards, the middle formation also became chaotic.

"Don't be messed up, don't be messed up. The thief just put down the mud legs of the farm tools. We will definitely be able to defeat the thief!"

Cao Yun personally shouted that he wanted to stop the soldiers from escaping, but found that his efforts were useless. Even if the guards and officers drew their swords to kill several escaped soldiers, they still could not stop more soldiers from escaping.

Chaos has spread from the front to the middle formation, and will spread to the entire army next.

"Retreat!" There was no hope of returning to heaven, and Cao Yun issued an order to retreat angrily.

The gong sounded, and the Ming soldiers who were still hesitant on the battlefield turned around and ran away. The Ming soldiers who were already running away ran back more at ease and boldly.
