Chapter 1125 In the Battle of Zhenjiang

Jin Shenghuan and Zheng Chenggong were the right-hand men of the Tang Dynasty, one was good at land warfare, and the other had a powerful naval warship.

In the Chu-Jiangxi War, Jin Shenghuan was defeated into the Jiangxi Qing army, killed Mandahai, relieved the siege of Wuchang, and forced Duoduo to retreat in a hurry, which can be said to be famous in the first war.

In the process of the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the battle commanded by Wang Yan undoubtedly killed the most Manchu Yi kings, followed by Dai Zhi's domain array to kill Azig, and the rest was the Battle of Northern Jiangxi commanded by Jin Shenghuan, Li Yuanyin cut off the head of Man Dahai.

Although the status of Mandahai is far from being comparable to Azig, the impact of the two battles on the Ming Dynasty is completely different.

The battle commanded by Dai Zhifan was only to encircle Azig and plunder Huguang, and even if this battle was lost, it would not have much impact on the strength comparison and offensive and defensive momentum between the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The Great War of Northern Jiangxi commanded by Jin Shenghuan had a huge impact on the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, Wang Yan's main force was still in Sichuan and Wu Sangui fought in eastern Sichuan, and the Qing army counterattacked Huguang and Jiangxi, and Wang Yan was unable to support it at all.

If the Chu and Jiangxi battles were lost, even if Wang Yan won the battle of Sichuan, the situation of the Ming Dynasty would be extremely passive and at an absolute disadvantage, but Jin Shenghuan held Jiangxi and relieved the siege of Wuchang, so that the Ming Dynasty completely gained a foothold, from being beaten passively, into the stage of stalemate, and even counterattack.

Therefore, Jin Shenghuan's reputation is still very loud, and it is precisely because of this battle that he is a little inflated, and he feels that he can compare with Wang Yan.

In Jin Shenghuan's view, he is a figure at the same level as Wang Yan, as for Zhao Shenkuan, he is just an unknown person, Wang Yan's next general, he is a hero of Middle Earth, how can he put a nameless person in his eyes.

Jin Shenghuan raised his gun and clamped the horse's belly, and he shouted, "Sons, rush!" After finishing speaking, he led the gathered Wuwei cavalry and rushed towards the rampaging horse army.

The Wuwei cavalry who rushed to the front put the three-eyed guns under their armpits, and several of them consciously accelerated their horses, gradually overtaking Jin Shenghuan and blocking him behind.

The death rate of the cavalry hedge is extremely high, Jin Shenghuan's identity has long been unable to charge, the guards naturally want to protect him, how can he really charge ahead, in case he is killed by the gun, then the Wuwei army will not be finished immediately.

Jin Shenghuan charged like this, it was an extremely dangerous thing, but he had to rush once, the rear army was already in chaos, and the morale of the Wuwei army was already low, and only when he personally went into battle could he inspire morale.

Rampage to the side of the horse army, Zhao Shenkuan pointed his spear, more than a thousand cavalry behind him, flocking to it, the cavalry wearing cuirass, also put the three-eyed gun under the armpit, ready to light the fire rope, and several cavalry also ran forward, blocking Zhao Shenkuan behind him.

The two cavalry quickly approached, and the rampaging horse army focused their attention on Jin Shenghuan, which allowed the Wuwei soldiers who were running behind to be freed, and they ran down the official road one after another, giving way to the battlefield.

The war horse galloped, and in the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was shortened to a hundred paces, and Jin Shenghuan could already see the face of the oncoming rampant horse army through the gap between the cavalry in front of him, as well as the armor on his body.

Unlike the top and bottom of the Armed Guards, the armor is different, the cavalry who rushed over was wearing uniform plate armor, and the officers were just different helmets.

"Kill!" With a roar, the side of the rampaging horse army had already ignited the medicine line, and in the attack formation, a piece of gunpowder smoke immediately rose, and the Wu Wei army also ignited the medicine line at the same time, and the two sides combined nearly a thousand three-eyed guns were ready to fire.

Ten thousand hooves trampled the earth, splashed pieces of dust, the most valuable cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, should be the difference in the positions of the two sides, will be a bitter enemy of the fast fight, no matter which side wins, it is not worth singing.

The cavalry is the most terrifying force on the battlefield, and the cavalry on both sides crashed into the opponent's attack formation with the courage to die, and the piercing howls and the impact of the war horses shaking the mountains converged into a torrent that shook the earth.

In an instant, the two cavalry, like two swords, collided together.

"Bang Bang Bang..." A dense sound of guns sounded, and the three-eyed guns shot out three rounds at a very fast speed, and the projectiles hidden in the gun tubes, with the thrust of gunpowder, shot out rapidly, and between the two cavalry that gathered less than fifty paces, the high temperature of the gunpowder explosion, the projectiles that burned red, drew a red line, and the guns shot by both sides were immediately intertwined into a dense net.

Under this red thread intertwined net, the war horses neighed, the knights wailed, the cavalry kept falling, and the Wuwei horse army fell one after another like sprinkling beans, and the number was actually half more than the rampaging horse army.

Both sides used the same three-eyed gun, Jin Shenghuan was surprised, but before he could delve deeper, the two armies had already collided.

The spears pierced, blunt weapons swung, the two cavalry collided like a torrent of steel, blood bloomed, and the screams and shouts of killing were intertwined, almost maddening.

In an instant, the guards in front of Jin Shenghuan were all smashed off the horse, and the commander of the armed guard army was directly exposed in front of the rampaging horse army, but this fierce general was not afraid, but roared angrily, raised his iron spear and stabbed it, and the spear immediately stabbed an oncoming cavalryman away from the horse.

The spear stabbed on the cuirass of the cavalry, stabbed the body of the cavalry out of the saddle, and the head of the spear hit the cuirass, and immediately the sparks flew and did not pierce it at once!

Jin Shenghuan's intuitive arm was numb, as if he had stabbed an iron plate, in fact, he did stab a fast iron plate.

Half of the spear head was not in the plate armor, and there were still a few dents in the armor, which should be the result of the shot just now.

Jin Shenghuan's spear was stuck on the plate armor, and at this time, a cavalryman immediately swung his three-eyed gun fiercely and smashed it at him. Under the trail, he immediately kicked angrily, roared, and swung his spear, and actually picked up the corpse of the cavalryman, and threw it out suddenly, and the spear head was pulled out of the plate armor by throwing force, and the corpse directly dropped the cavalryman wielding the three-eyed gun.

All the armed guards are almost facing the same problem as Jin Shenghuan, Jin Shenghuan uses iron guns, but the vast majority of the armed guards use wooden cavalry guns, although many cavalry will stab the rampant horse army off the war horse, but many guns are actually broken under the huge impact force.

Zhao Shenkuan burst into the formation and stabbed down four cavalrymen one after another, and couldn't help but let out a hearty roar before leading his troops out of the formation. Rampage Ma Jun, like a sword made of fine iron, broke the iron sword of the Wu Wei Army, and broke the Wu Wei Army like a bamboo.

The two armies staggered, and the cavalry looked back, and where they passed, the corpses of the fallen and the mournful war horses were all in sight.

In this combination, the Ma army lost less than 50 people, but the Wuwei army lost at least 200 people, most of whom died in the three-eyed gun.

Zhao Shenkuan led the cavalry out of the formation, and the rebel infantry in front of them had already formed a formation, and the pikemen formed a line of spears, and the musketeers and archers were aiming at them.

The horse army that had just come out of the formation didn't dare to crash into it like this, Zhao Shenkuan immediately pulled out the reins of the horse, and before crashing into the formation, he made a big turn.

Jin Shenghuan had just seen the equipment of the rampaging horse army, and knew that the opponent's breastplate was powerful, and it was difficult to break through the opponent's plate armor with a short-barreled gun like the three-eyed gun, which lacked power.

Originally, after the cavalry had hedged, he had to stop, reorganize the formation, and reload the ammunition, but he did not do so, but after a little formation, he immediately led the cavalry and rushed towards the rampaging horse army that was turning, and did not give them a chance to reload.

"Boom!" Suddenly, the two teams of cavalry hedged again, this time the horse army lost more than 30 people, and the armed guard army lost more than 60 people, and the gap was still huge.

The two sides staggered, and Jin Shenghuan rushed straight to the front of the infantry formation, only to restrain the war horse, and then pulled the horse and turned the horse's head, ready to rush again.

Although he had realized the huge gap between him and the rampaging horse army, it would take some time for the infantry army to form a formation, and he had to entangle this horse army and not let him harass the infantry formation.

"Governor, look!" Just as the cavalry stopped and turned in place, an anxious cry suddenly sounded.

Jin Shenghuan looked up and looked west, and couldn't help but change his face, on the vast field, there was a dense array of enemy cavalry, and the spectacular scene of thousands of cavalry galloping immediately made his face cold.

The cavalry of the Wuwei Army, the rebel infantry in the array, and King Lu and others had already seen countless cavalry rolling in the distance, and in a field of banners, there was a big banner that was particularly eye-catching.

It was surrounded by a group of generals and stars, it was the military flag that crossed the horse army, and a large flag next to it was also very powerful in front of the cavalry, and the five big characters on it made no one ignore it, "The right army is the king"!

Wang Shixiu and the main force of the rampaging horse army have arrived!

Many rebel generals, seeing this scene, were shocked in their hearts, they didn't expect that there would be so many cavalry in the imperial court, as if they thought they had met the Eight Banners of the Qing Army.

Seeing this, Jin Shenghuan immediately gave up the idea of rushing for a while, and a hole was opened in front of the formation, and he immediately led the rest of the cavalry into the infantry formation.

Zhao Shenkuan saw that the main force had arrived, and he did not rush to attack again, but greeted the main force.

Wang Shixiu and the generals led the cavalry forward, slowly slowing down their speed, and without looking at the horse, he also saw a figure in the distance.

"Governor! The rebels are at the forefront! Zhao Shenkuan, who greeted him, reported to Wang Shixiu with a fist.

Wang Shixiu looked at it with great eyes, less than three miles away, and the black pressed a crowd of people.

Although it is not realistic, the number of rebels is estimated to be more than 60,000.

He then raised his right hand and said loudly, "Stop! ”

The military order was conveyed, and all the cavalry units behind him immediately stopped, but Wang Shixiu grabbed the belly of the horse, led more than 100 horsemen to rush forward, and stopped suddenly when he reached a mile in front of the rebel formation.

One of the hundred households continued to gallop forward, until he was in front of the rebel formation, and then he reined in and shouted: "The governor of my family, please speak to His Royal Highness King Lu!" ”

After speaking, the knight immediately pulled out his horse and galloped back, and after a while, the rebel infantry split a passage, and King Lu, dressed in golden armor, led more than 100 cavalry to gallop out, and stopped at a distance of fifty steps from Wang Shixiu.

Wang Shixiu glanced at King Lu of the golden armor, immediately clenched his fists, and said sincerely: "Your Highness, stop at this time, the guilt can still be reduced!" His Royal Highness is a hero in the world, Prince Daming, Shi Xiu persuaded His Highness to turn back! ”

King Lu stared at Wang Shixiu, pointed his horsewhip, but replied angrily: "Since ancient times, thieves and men have been incompatible, and the lone king advises the king to be loyal to the imperial family and not to help the abuse!" ”
