Seeing Zhao Mingyuan change direction, the knights behind him naturally turned around and followed Zhao Mingyuan to kill Xiang Batian.
Xiang Batian suddenly felt dark clouds covering his head, and boiling murderous intent shrouding him.
Xiang Batian was horrified when he saw Zhao Mingyuan charging at him first, as if he was beheading the general and seizing the flag.
He had already heard about Zhao Mingyuan's power, and knew that Zhao Mingyuan was a master-level expert. Not long ago, he had killed the famous master Xiao Xian, and even killed the main leader of the Baling Gang alone.
Such a master knew that Xiang Batian was definitely no match for him.
Therefore, he had been hiding deep in the military formation, without any thought of facing Zhao Mingyuan head-on.
Now, seeing that Zhao Mingyuan's attention had been attracted by his voice of command, Zhao Mingyuan had already come to kill him.
Seeing this, Xiang Batian no longer cares about his subordinates.
Dang even ordered his men to hold him back, and then fled alone.
Xiang Batian naturally did not run away randomly, but met up with the other two thieves, trying to gather everyone's strength to resist Zhao Mingyuan.
However, when he saw Xiang Batian escaping, Zhao Mingyuan shouted loudly: "Then Xiang Batian has left you and fled. If you don't escape now, when will you wait? Are you waiting to die?"
Under Zhao Mingyuan's strong internal strength, these few words were heard over the sound of fighting in the audience and reached everyone's ears.
The bandits turned around and saw that Xiang Batian had actually escaped. Moreover, he escaped very quickly. In the blink of an eye, he was far away from the battle circle and fled towards the other two military formations.
Seeing that the bosses had all escaped, these bandits were not in the mood to fight. Their morale suddenly collapsed, their formation collapsed, and they also fled behind Xiang Batian.
If there is one, there must be two. When they see someone running away, the others are immediately afraid that they will fall behind and be chased by the cavalry of Pegasus Ranch. So he threw down all the heavy objects such as shields, weapons and even armor, packed lightly, and fled far away.
Seeing the collapse of the enemy forces on this side, Zhao Mingyuan ignored Xiang Batian and instead ordered the cavalry behind him to chase the defeated troops, driving them in the same direction, and letting them follow Xiang Batian's path.
Zhao Mingyuan was planning to use these defeated troops to disperse the rest of the bandit army and finish them off in one battle.
A group of cavalrymen from the Pegasus Ranch drove all these broken soldiers towards the enemy's position, just like herding cattle and horses.
In the panic of the defeated troops, they had long lost their minds and could only follow the large troops forward.
Occasionally someone escaped alone from the large group and was immediately shot dead by the cavalry of Pegasus Ranch.
Seeing that escaping alone was a dead end, some calm-minded people among the defeated troops had to blend in with the crowd and flee with the large army.
At this time, Xiang Batian had already joined Fang Jianding and Mao Zao.
Even though Xiang Batian looked disgraced and embarrassed in this battle and was busy, Fang Jian Ding and Mao Zao couldn't bear to laugh at him.
After all, they all saw everything that happened just now. Even if they encountered such a situation, it was nothing more than that, not much better.
Therefore, how could the two of them be in the mood to laugh at Xiang Batian?
Even the two of them couldn't help but feel a little worried.
This is not the first time they have fought against Pegasus Ranch. They are also very clear about the strength of Pegasus Ranch’s cavalry.
After learning that there were only 2,000 cavalry to attack this time, they were confidently prepared to completely devour this group of troops, and then go to besiege the Pegasus Ranch.
Unexpectedly, just by being replaced by Zhao Mingyuan as the leader, the combat effectiveness of these cavalry immediately changed. It was like a new army, achieving such results.
Although Zhao Mingyuan is indeed very powerful in martial arts and is a rare master, his performance will indeed greatly boost the morale of Pegasus Ranch.
However, it is obvious that Zhao Mingyuan's response to the enemy was extremely correct in all aspects.
It seems simple and there is no surprising strategy, but this simple and upright response can easily win. This situation is even more shocking.
It was as if Zhao Mingyuan just dealt with them casually and did not need to use all his strength at all.
At this time, they had already sent a message to Cao Yinglong, who was waiting in ambush in the town, asking him to immediately lead his army to support. I just don’t know if I can catch up in time.
Now, the defeated troops driven away by Pegasus Ranch have arrived in front of their military formation.
Although these people were born as rogues, they had not learned any serious art of war. But they wander around the world, and they are all battle-hardened, and their sense of danger has become instinctive.
Therefore, they all understood that if they were not stopped, their remaining troops would be scattered by the defeated troops.
By then, the soldiers and horses under their command will not be much stronger than those under Xiang Batian. They will inevitably become the same defeated troops, driven and hunted like cattle and horses.
Therefore, the three of them looked at each other and settled down.
Fang Jian Ding and Mao Zao immediately ordered that anyone who rushes into the formation will be killed immediately without mercy.
At the same time, people shouted, asking these defeated troops to turn around and kill the enemy, dealing with the cavalry of Pegasus Ranch.
But, how is this possible?
If these defeated soldiers had the courage to turn around and kill the enemy, how could they collapse?
Therefore, soon, the defeated army rushed to their front.
As expected, the thief army who was waiting for them did not break their promise. They obeyed the military order and first fired a wave of sparse arrows at them.
There are not many bows and arrows among the four major bandits. Most of them are just hunting bows of some hunters, which are not very lethal.
Therefore, not many people were shot to death in this wave of attacks.
But this shocked the defeated soldiers who rushed forward, and many of them were frightened to stop.
However, although the people in front stopped, the crowd behind them could not stop so easily.
Soon, the people who stopped in front were knocked down or even trampled by the people behind them, submerged in the dust, and soon became silent.
With the lessons learned from the past, no one dares to stop easily again.
Soon, the front row of the defeated troops rushed in front of the bandits' formation.
Many people thought they were finally saved when they came here and wanted to stop and rest.
Unexpectedly, they were killed by their own people who were waiting for them on the opposite side with their weapons.
Suddenly, screams continued in front of the military formation.
But the push coming from behind told them that it was impossible to retreat, not even to stop.
As a result, the defeated troops behind were still pushed forward.
Suddenly, rows of unarmed soldiers were killed by their own people.
In the blink of an eye, the number of people killed was no less than the number of people killed by Pegasus Ranch.
However, there were so many defeated soldiers and they were so crowded that the soldiers in the front row of the rebel army had no time to kill them. Their weapons even penetrated their bodies, but they were pushed back.
The bandit army's front formation was still squeezed through.
If this continues, not only the military formation in front, but even the entire military formation may be washed away. If the cavalry from Pegasus Ranch take advantage of the situation to cover up the attack, they will definitely be defeated.
Reluctantly, Fang Jianding and Mao Zao had no choice but to order the military formation to make way for the defeated troops to pass through.
As for whether the cavalry from Pegasus Ranch would follow behind, they didn't care. They settled the matter at hand first before talking about anything else.
Fang Jianding and Mao Zao ordered to change their formations, but these thieves had loose military discipline, so they naturally did not change their formations very quickly. They were still changing formations and moving to both sides, but found that the people on the opposite side of Pegasus Ranch had already made a move.
What did the Pegasus Ranch cavalry do?
In fact, he didn't do anything, he just ignored the defeated troops.
Not bad, just ignore it.
Previously, everyone at Pegasus Ranch adjusted the formation of the defeated troops, allowing them to maintain a sharp formation and charge forward. Anyone who broke out of the formation would be shot immediately.
But now, with the Pegasus Ranch no longer under the jurisdiction of the cavalry, people soon discovered that they would not be shot if they ran to both sides.
Seeing this, some people immediately followed suit. With the potential to escape, the front was crowded and everyone fled to both sides.
The troops immediately broke down and surrounded the whole place tightly. There were people everywhere.
The bandits were already preparing to change their formations to get out of the way, so naturally they had no way to deal with the defeated troops at the same time.
Therefore, they even let the defeated troops come into their chaotic military formation.
The defeated troops were actually no different from them. Suddenly, they couldn't even tell which of the troops were defeated and which were the original soldiers, and they fell into chaos.
Even under the leadership of the defeated soldiers, many people also ran around.
Suddenly, the rebel army was completely in chaos. People were everywhere, and there was no longer any trace of formation.
Seeing this, the three thieves knew that the situation was over.
So the three of them prepared to sneak away secretly with their confidants to meet Cao Yinglong.
It's just that these thieves had been targeted by Zhao Mingyuan for a long time. Seeing that they wanted to escape, Zhao Mingyuan immediately chased them.
As for those defeated troops, just leave them to the people at Pegasus Ranch.
After all, this is only a few tens of thousands of defeated troops. Even hundreds of thousands of defeated troops are still nothing to worry about.
The defeat is not just talk.
The morale of the defeated army has been exhausted, and their courage has been lost. Even a small team of dozens or hundreds of people may be chased by one person. They dare not look back and are slowly killed one by one. They may even be chased. You have to live and die from exhaustion.
This is not a rare thing, it can be found everywhere in history books.
Most of these thieves have followed the four major bandits and brought trouble to the world for many years. They do all kinds of evil and are wild and untamable. They are no longer the ordinary people they used to be, and it will be difficult to go back.
Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan ordered the people from Pegasus Ranch to chase and kill them, and just ask them not to stop.
The people at Pegasus Ranch are very familiar with it. This is how they capture wild horses. They are naturally familiar with it and there will never be any problems.
In fact, these broken troops no longer have any organization and pose no threat. The only things to worry about are these three thieves leaders and Cao Yinglong's group.
Now, the three thieves were about to escape, seemingly preparing to meet up with Cao Yinglong's men.
Zhao Mingyuan planned to follow the three thieves to find Cao Yinglong, and then kill the four major bandits together to avoid future troubles.
