Seeing that the cavalry was in trouble and the musketeers were at a disadvantage, Wu Sangui was anxious and intended to push the whole army forward and rushed straight away.

Hong Chengchou hurriedly stopped him from making a big bet.

Wu Sangui's eyes were red, "If you don't rush, the army will be defeated!"

Hong Chengchou said anxiously: "If you rush, the Great Zhou will be over!"

The strength of the Ming army was beyond Hong Chengchou's expectations. The elite cavalry and elite musketeers of the Zhou army did not have any advantage after being pushed up.

Now that we can withdraw our troops, we can still retain a certain strength and leave hope. If we all push them, we will only lose even worse in terms of the situation.

Sometimes individuals can gamble, but the country cannot gamble. Once they lose, they will be doomed.

What's more, it's a gamble with a slim chance of winning.

Wu Sangui looked angry, "Where can I retreat if I don't rush?"

Hong Chengchou held the reins and refused to let go, "Your Majesty still has 100,000 troops to defend on the spot, waiting for reinforcements in Luoyang, and there may be a chance."

Wu Sangui was undecided for a moment. Seeing this, Hong Chengchou said to the surrounding generals: "Hurry, let all departments defend on the spot."

The most elite troops, cavalry and musketeers of the Zhou army successively attacked the Ming army's formation, but they all ended in failure.

Seeing this, the remaining Zhou army knew that they would definitely not be able to rush forward. It would be better to let the Ming army attack, even if they died, they would die later.

"Oh," the generals responded quickly and hurried to the arrangement.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui could only grit his teeth and said, "Ming Jin to withdraw his troops!"

On the battlefield, the sound of the Zhou army's golden sound sounded, and the Zhou army musketeers who were shooting at the Ming army's infantry were ecstatic when they heard the sound.

The Zhou army's musketeers who were about to collapse by the Ming army's platoon in the shooting immediately turned around and ran away, and the front collapsed instantly.

The Zhou cavalry trapped in the hollow formation group of the Ming army were not so lucky. Wu Guozhu heard the sound of gold and hurriedly ordered the horse and shouted, "Hurry up, rush out!"

The cavalry of the brigade was running between the gaps between the hollow formation group. The Ming army musketeers raised the muskets together and aimed at the cavalry running from the front of the formation.

"Bang bang bang" Another round of volleys. In the hollow formation group, fired on all sides of the square formations, and smoke filled the air. The Zhou cavalry screamed and fell off their horses.

For a moment, the gaps between the various formations were covered with war horses and cavalry corpses, which made the Ming soldiers feel regretful. What a good horse, with the musket, they could only make bacon.

At this time, Wu Guozhu led the remaining cavalry and rushed out of the smoke of gunpowder.

Under the Ming army's flag, Zhao Ming waved his hand and the horn sounded. The Ming cavalry that had previously retracted back immediately slapped out and ran directly towards the cavalry escaped from the Zhou army.

The Ming cavalry was blocking the killing all the way. The Zhou cavalry broke through the Ming army's two spears from behind, and the infantry lined up in the first line, chasing the backs of the Zhou army's musketeers, and the infantry and cavalry fled in panic.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming smiled and shouted loudly, "Change the formation and press the whole army forward."

The Ming army still had flaws, which was the lack of cavalry.

Now that the Zhou army retreats, if there are tens of thousands of cavalry, they will be killed directly from behind, and will ensure that the Zhou army will be able to float a hundred miles away and be completely destroyed.

However, because of the lack of cavalry, the infantry could only line up to the top, and this slowed down, giving the Zhou army a chance to retreat.

This is also the disadvantage of the southern army against the northern cavalry over the past dynasties. It is often difficult to seriously damage the enemy's army if they win. Once they fail, the enemy cavalry will be killed, and the result will be the entire army will be destroyed.

However, the Yellow River is north of the Zhou army, and there is no way to escape. The hollow formation group of the Ming army turned into lines and lined up in military orders. The infantry and army stepped forward together, and the 100,000 troops pushed over layer by layer.

On the front line that was several miles wide, the Ming army was stacked with layers of musketeers advancing like walls, shooting and killing the fleeing Zhou army.

In the front battlefield and line-ups unfold, no one could block the Ming army's muskets, and no one could defeat the Ming army in the music of the march.

At this time, the Ming army, layer by layer, chased the defeated soldiers and arrived in front of the Zhou army.

The infantry troops in line stopped and then raised their guns together. The soldiers who raised their shields in front of the Zhou army were defending themselves. They could not help but feel a commotion when they looked at the gun pointing at their own guns.

The Ming army officer roared loudly, "Shoot!"

"Bang bang bang" muskets fired volleys, and the projectiles roared, and Zhou Jun on the front line fell to the ground in groups.

"Go forward!" The officer pointed his sword forward, and the musketeers continued to step forward, and then stopped again.

Zhou Jun couldn't help but get upset. He originally retreated to avoid gunfire shooting.

"Shoot!" the officer roared.

"Bang bang bang" In front of the Ming army's front, the smoke of gunpowder was connected, and the entire Zhou army formation was shaking with its powerful firepower.

At this time, Zhao Ming waved his hand again, "The gun formation thrust!"

With a trombone, the slowly forested spear soldiers crossed the musket line, and all brought the spear down and rushed towards the Zhou army's front.

At the same time, the Ming army in the east also launched a fierce attack on the Zhou army.

After Li Yuanyin rushed on the eastern front for a while, he retreated to the west bank and continued to act in a defensive posture to prevent the Zhou army from breaking west.

The battle took place from daytime to evening, and the Zhou army suffered great defeat under the attack of the Ming army.

When it was dark, Wu Sangui's 200,000 army lost nearly half, and led more than 100,000 remaining soldiers. He was forced to Guangwu Mountain by the Ming army to the side of the Yellow River. He was almost driven down from the Yellow River by the Ming army.

At this time, the battlefield gradually calmed down. The Zhou army, who had no time to escape, was captured by the Ming army. Under the surveillance of the Ming army with guns, gathered in one place and squatted for several acres of land.

This elite Zhou army that recaptured Hetao and fought against Mongolia in the west were defeated by the Ming army. On the battlefield within a radius of dozens of miles, there were dead bodies and discarded baggage everywhere.

Wu Sangui stood at the top of Guangwu Mountain and looked down at the foot of the mountain. Ming soldiers appeared among the corpses, confiscated sharp weapons, and swept the battlefield. A large number of Ming soldiers dug trenches and built earthen walls at the foot of the mountain, and felt desolate in their hearts.

At this time, a team of cavalry rushed to the foot of the mountain. Wang Yi and others hurriedly came forward and saluted: "Your Highness!"

The Ming army defeated Wu Sangui, and Zhao Ming was in a good mood. After this victory, Zhou State was already his possession.

"Wang Yi, you and Yuan Yin have made great contributions this time!" Zhao Ming turned over and got off the horse and said loudly.

"It is only when the Regent has arranged it properly to achieve such a great victory!" Wang Yi hurriedly bowed and smiled.

"Hahaha~" Zhao Ming laughed loudly and patted Wang Yi on the shoulder, "Gou seeks truth from facts, you played well this time, and Gu is very satisfied."

Wang Yi said: "It's a pity that Wu Sangui was not driven into the river!"

"It's almost done!" Zhao Ming waved his hand and asked with a smile on his face, "What's the situation?"

"Report to your Highness, Wu Sangui led the tragic soldiers and retreated to the mountain. I have dug trenches and built walls to surround them!" Wang Yi smiled with his fists.

Zhao Ming looked at the busy soldiers and the trench had already reached a certain scale, so he immediately instructed: "Send more effort and you must surround Wu Sangui to death!"
