"Master-in-chief, let's go back to the camp first!" Zuo Menggeng fought with him for many years, and naturally he could see the current crisis situation.

At this time, except for the horses who could escape from the sky before the defeated soldiers were so tired that they were on the ground, no one could resist the collapse of such a rolling bead curtain like a mountain collapse. The only way was to escape back to the camp and rely on the camp to resist.

"I can't go back." Zuo Liangyu looked at the guards around him and smiled miserably. "When the formation moves, it will inevitably be messy. Not many people can escape back to the camp when the wolf runs away. Even if they escape back and wait until the Beijing camp comes over, what else can we do if they use cannons to blast us?"

In fact, the root of everything is that Zuo Liangyu's army is a mob. If this is a real elite soldier like the Qi family army, even if he is really facing the collapse of cannon fodder in front, he can stand up like a mountain to block the impact. But the mob cannot do it.

It is impossible to expect these mobs, composed of deserters, young and strong bandits from all over the world, who have not received strict training to fight such beautiful battles!

"Let's go to the riverside!" Zuo Liangyu, who had experienced many defeats and even the entire army was wiped out, had good psychological qualities. After forcibly restraining his mind, he was ready to take his personal guards and the horse team to the riverside. With his fleet there, as long as he could get on the boat, it would be like he would escape.

Zuo Liangyu's battlefield intuition and experience of escape are indeed very outstanding. At this time, it is impossible to force the army to gather in such a situation where the entire army collapses. The camp is not defending but is defending and dying when the army is collapsed and the strong enemy is carrying many artillery. Therefore, escaping is the best choice. Moreover, the fleet fleeing to the riverside is also the only way to survive at this moment.

What Zuo Liangyu may not have expected was that he was the head coach. He did not think about saving his army in such a critical moment, but instead fled first. The result of this behavior was disastrous.

A large number of troops that had not been hit by the collapsed cannon fodders collapsed faster than the cannon fodders after seeing the commander fleeing in front of the formation, and fled in an instant.

There were two very interesting Ming troops in the Chongzhen period. One was the famous formation and full-time betrayed teammates. Any friendly army that cooperated with would be ruined. The other was Zuo Liangyu, who was defeated countless times, even wiped out many times but could always escape unscathed.

Compared to Guan Ningjun, who sells his teammates based on his strength, Zuo Liangyu has always sold his hands in exchange for his own escape opportunity, and this time there is no exception.

But this time after he ran away, almost all nearby soldiers and horses subconsciously followed Zuo Liangyu to the riverside. Because Zuo Liangyu forgot to let his flag-holding officer stay in place with the handsome flag in panic.

Just like a domino, the army that was trapped in huge chaos subconsciously followed Zuo Liangyu's handsome flag toward the riverside. When Zuo Liangyu found something was wrong, he drew his sword and killed the flag-holder, and it was useless.

This time, Zuo Liangyu really felt what drinking cold water would make her teeth stuck. After the previous flag-holding official died in the chaos, how could he choose a fool to take over!

The troops under this general who suppressed the thief were actually divided into two parts. The largest number was the refugee cannon fodder who could pick up bricks and work hard for food. The remaining part was composed of deserters from the Ming army everywhere, thieves wandering around the world, bandits entrenched in the mountains, bandits galloping on the water, and horse bandits and other messy young and strong men.

Before the war started, Zuo Liangyu deployed more than 100,000 cannon fodders in front of him, preparing to use these worthless cannon fodders to swallow the Beijing camp.

But I didn't expect that the cannon fodders collapsed under Yan Fei's strong attack, which led to the collapse of the entire military formation. As for those mobs with some combat power, they took the initiative to catch up with Zuo Liangyu when they were running away.

The terrain on the riverside was wide and flat. After a large group of people came to the riverside, they shouted loudly at the fleets in the river, asking the ships to come and pick people up.

Zuo Liangyu's naval army was not far away. After sending a clutch to investigate, he learned that it was the Grand Marshal here, and hurriedly drove all kinds of ships to the shore to prepare to pick people up.

However, this is a mudflat. There is no pier or plank road. If you want to get on the boat, you can only take a small boat and take it to the big boats.

This method not only carries a small number but also takes time. At this moment, there are tens of thousands of people gathered on the shore, and more people are constantly coming. This method is probably not enough to be delivered in a few days.

At this time, most of the more than 100,000 refugees and cannon fodders were already tired. They couldn't eat enough and were not warm in clothing. They all ran for so long with their skinny faces, but they couldn't hold on to their physical strength at all.

Most of the cannon fodder fell to the ground and gasped like a dilapidated bellows. A few refugees flocked to the camps in the rear and saw that there was no defenders and immediately robbed them, trying to bring more foods that could only be seen but could not be enjoyed in the past, and they even had beautiful women to escape.

The Yan Fei soldiers on the last side slowly knocked on the drum beat that made Zuo Liangyu's head hurt, and pressed forward step by step with firm steps.

Just as several small boats were approaching the shore, Zuo Liangyu relied on the knife of his personal guards to rush onto the boat before he could breathe a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a very harsh sound of breaking through the air came from the sky.

Amid the banging explosion, a dazzling ball of fire and smoke suddenly rose from the middle of a large ship of four hundred materials. Wooden pieces and even broken limbs and arms flew into the air together.

The frightened crowd looked into the distance of the river, and then saw several large iron ships without sails rushing over from the downstream. From time to time, a ball of light burst out from the ship, which was the flames of the muzzle when the cannon was fired!

Seeing his navy ship being smashed into pieces one by one, Zuo Liangyu, with a pale face, trembling lips and shouting loudly, ordering the people around him to row the boat back to the shore quickly. He doesn't know how to swim!

The water escape was cut off, and the navy was unable to protect themselves, let alone rescue the people on the shore. The camp was full of crazy cannon fodder, and many places had even been lit with flames. The imperial soldiers and horses in the distance were pressing step by step, and at this time, the many people crowded on the banks of the river became turtles in the jar.

At this time, if you want to escape from the sky, you can only rely on riding a horse.

There is a shortage of horses in the Jiangnan region, and there is also a lack of horses in Zuo Liangyu's army. Most of the horses are concentrated in Zuo Liangyu's personal guards. Without horses, it is impossible to escape the pursuit of the imperial soldiers and horses. So at this moment, many people's eyes are on those horses.

Those who joined Zuo Liangyu's army were basically a group of brave men who licked blood from the knife. In the past, they would have been afraid of Zuo Liangyu's power, but at this time, who cares about these things at the critical moment of life and death? Many bandits from bandits have already taken the sword to chop at those with horses. They were originally in chaos and were even more desperate because of internal strife.

Zuo Liangyu's personal guards tried to protect him and break through the siege. Unfortunately, they ran the fastest and closest to the riverside before, but at this time they were besieged at the core of tens of thousands of defeated soldiers. After a rush, they not only did not rush out, but they were killed by the blood-stimulating many of the defeated soldiers who had their eyes red.

"Forget it, give them all the horses." Zuo Liangyu turned over and got off the horse, waved his hand and asked his personal guards to hand over all their horses.

"Master Father, why is this?" Zuo Menggeng, who was covered in blood on his armor, hurriedly grabbed his father's arm and shouted anxiously, "How can we escape without a horse?"

Zuo Liangyu smiled miserably and pointed his hand at a distance, "Look at that side."

Zuo Menggeng looked along his father's arm in confusion, and then he fell into an ice cave!

While the defeated soldiers were killing each other on the riverside, Yan Fei's army had already arrived. In addition to sending some troops to take over Zuo Liangyu's camp, Yan Fei personally led the main force to pounce on the riverside.

Yan Fei personally led the main force to the riverside, squeezing the living space of the defeated soldiers step by step. The continuous fire of bullets knocked down the defeated soldiers layer by layer to the ground.

Among the defeated soldiers on the periphery, there was a bandit introduced by everyone in the mountains and fields in southern Henan. Seeing the people around him being knocked over by the rain of bullets in the distance, they were terrified and thrilled, and under the tremendous stimulation between life and death, they were aroused in their hearts. Under the leadership of their boss Zhao Yidao, howling, waving the sharp blade, and rushing towards the musketeers.

Zhao Yidao held the family treasure sword in his hand tightly, rushed forward with red eyes and tried to pull a few more cushions before he died. He was extremely confident in his sword technique and never used a second knife to kill people!

However, Zhao Yidao did not get the opportunity to use his sword skills. When he was still far away from the musketeers, he saw a flash of fire on the opposite side. With the thunderous roar, the brothers around him fell down one after another as if they were hit directly by heavy hammers.

Not long after, there was another round of gunfire sound on the opposite side. After that, Zhao Yidao suddenly realized why he was quiet?

Confused, he stopped and looked around, and then he found that his brothers were all dead. He was the only one left.

"You seven grandson!!!" Seeing that the brothers who had followed him for many years fell into a pool of blood, Zhao Yidao was in a daze and raised the family treasure sword in his hand, roared and rushed towards the thousands of musketeers, "I'll fight with you!!!"

Another round of gunfire sounded, and Zhao Yidao, who rushed towards the musketeers alone, fell heavily to the ground.

This was the most powerful counterattack of the defeated soldiers blocked by the river. After this counterattack was crushed, no more than a large-scale counterattack appeared.

Tens of thousands of defeated soldiers kept retreating and even pouring into the water under the pressure of musketeers. People who were aquatic were better, so they took off their clothes and swam to the other side. But the land ducks were stunned. People who could not swim were all despair when facing such a broad river.

The more you walk into the water, the more dangerous it becomes. The innermost part is even over the neck and is about to be drowned. At this time, they are truly nowhere to retreat.

"It's so bad." Yan Fei looked at the defeated soldiers who were struggling desperately in the water in the distance, and felt that this scene was so similar to when the Japanese devils abused prisoners of war and civilians in Jinling City hundreds of years later.

There are so many people who dare to resist, and they would rather be drowned than fight against the enemy. It is truly sad and lamentable.
