Chapter 1130 Jin Shenghuan died
Jin Shenghuan's more than 1,000 soldiers, plus some Wuwei soldiers who did not surrender, and Zhejiang soldiers who did not escape, were surrounded by the rampaging horse army.
Tan Tai and the others shouted loudly for the rebel soldiers to surrender, but these soldiers formed a circle and protected Jin Shenghuan in the middle.
The rebel non-commissioned officers stretched out their spears, the shield-bearers formed a circular tortoise wall, and the soldiers inside the wall bent their bows like a full moon, and their sharp arrows were aimed at the cavalry galloping in circles, and the musketeers also raised their guns.
The cavalry surrounded the rebel soldiers, beat their horses and turned around, calling for the rebels to lay down their arms, and called several times in succession, but there was no response.
Tan Tai then pointed his spear, and the cavalry roared to disrupt the circle, but was repulsed by the rebel soldiers several times.
For a while, the Ma army had no way to deal with this turtle formation, mainly because the cavalry did not want to pay casualties, so they were unwilling to charge hard.
The cavalry circled around the circle a few times, and several failed assaults, but they were unsuccessful, Tan Tai immediately reined in his horse, and nearly a thousand cavalry stopped outside the circle formation, stopped and watched from afar.
"Go! Tune in a few cannons! Blast this turtle out of the way! Tan Tai waved his horsewhip and said to the guards beside him, wanting to repeat his old tricks.
The guards hugged their fists and were about to turn the horse's head, but a team of armed guards in the distance ran over, and the leader was Li Yuanyin.
"This general, I don't know what's going on?" Li Yuanyin rode on a horse and hugged his fists, he didn't know the Manchu general in front of him.
"Jin Shenghuan is inside, but he refuses to surrender, the general has already asked people to adjust the cannons, and before dark, they must have been cleaned up!" Tan Tai was a little annoyed, all for this sake, he couldn't see the situation clearly, this group of rebels was too ignorant of current affairs.
Li Yuanyin frowned when he heard this, Jin Shenghuan had some kindness to him, at least he didn't swallow his military exploits, but since he chose to stand on the side of the King of Chu, he had to clearly show his attitude, and he couldn't drag the mud and water.
He didn't bump into it, so it's okay to say, but if he did, he had to make a move.
Since he betrayed the side of the Tang King, he is no longer allowed to support the Tang faction, and he has to do things ruthlessly.
"If the general doesn't care, he is willing to help and break this rebel army!" Li Yuanyin arched his hand.
Li Yuanyin didn't know Tan Tai, but Tan Tai knew Li Yuanyin, if you want to say that Jin Shenghuan was surrounded by him, the credit must be his, but he is an outsider, but it is not good for him to swallow this credit alone.
The rebellion of the Tang Dynasty was only a small number of people in the pro-Tang faction who participated, and most of them were military generals, but the pro-Tang faction was also the civil officials in the imperial faction, such as Du Yinxi, Su Guansheng, Chen Zizhuang, these bigwigs, did not rebel, he was a Manchurian, participated in the political struggle within the Han people, and also took Han heroes like Jin Shenghuan, which will always cause dissatisfaction among some people.
Tan Tai glanced at Li Yuanyin, "Okay!" If the champion candidate can break the enemy, we will share the credit equally! ”
Li Yuanyin didn't talk nonsense, he hugged his fists, pulled out the reins of his horse, rushed to the front of the formation, looked at the soldiers of the armed guards who formed a circle, and the big banner inside, and said: "Jin Dudu, for the sake of the brothers, come down!" ”
Jin Shenghuan sat on a stone inside, his helmet missing, his hair scattered, almost covering half of his face.
This defeat completely crushed the ambition of this majestic man, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and the armor on his body was also cut by swords and spears three or four times, one of which obviously penetrated the armor and injured the flesh and skin.
At this time, Jin Shenghuan was holding a big knife in his hand, and the generals and personal soldiers were around him, but there were so many people, but they were surprisingly quiet, and no one seemed to want to speak, he heard Li Yuanyin's voice, and his heart was angry, but the despair after the defeat had made him lazy to pay attention to Li Yuanyin, but he said to the blood-stained guards around him: "Tell that traitor, you want the head of this town, tell him to come and get it quickly, don't pretend, this town feels disgusting!" ”
Li Yuanyin calmed the restless war horse, and a voice in the circle suddenly scolded, "Traitor, don't be pretty, if you want to fight, you will fight, and Lao Tzu will accompany you!" ”
In the circle, most people were silent for a while, but there were still many people waving weapons and scolding traitors.
This battle was a political struggle within the Ming Dynasty, and it was a civil strife caused by the upper echelons in order to seize power.
Both sides have their own ideas and guidance, and each side has its own reasons, and as for these soldiers who have been swept up, they are only on the wrong side in the political struggle, and there is no right or wrong.
Li Yuanyin listened to the voice, frowned, and then stayed for a short time, but pulled his horse back to the battle.
Not long after, a trumpet sounded, and the Wuwei army anyway, mainly the original Li Bu men and horses, pushed more than a dozen carts, held shields, and rushed towards the circle array.
This kind of turtle formation is full of thorns, and the horse army is not easy to open its mouth, but the infantry army has many means.
The soldiers in the formation, seeing them approaching, suddenly fired firearms, bows and arrows, and the guns hit the baffle of the cart, the broken wood splashed, and the arrows came, and the generals of the Li Department immediately shouted, "Raise the shield!" The soldiers of the Li Department who were advancing immediately raised their shields in unison.
The arrows clanged into the shields, and many of the soldiers were shot down, but the soldiers behind did not stop, they bypassed the fallen soldiers, and continued to move forward rhythmically with their shields.
When the bows and guns were fired in unison in the circle array, the soldiers of Li Bu, who were walking behind the cart and the sword and shield hand, carried the bow and arrows on their backs, opened their bows and arrows as they walked, pulled them into a full circle, and shot a wave of arrows into the circle array.
The rampage horse army in the distance stopped to watch, and had to admit that the Wuwei Army was indeed an elite soldier of the Ming Dynasty.
A team of firecrackers in the formation, facing the approaching Li soldiers, played a round of guns again, as the distance approached, the rattan and armor were no longer able to defend against the attack of the guns, walking in the front row of the Li soldiers, the rattan cards were splashed everywhere, and the soldiers fell to the ground one after another.
And at this moment, the soldiers of Li Bu, who were walking slowly with neat steps, suddenly shouted, "Kill!" Then the soldiers put down their shields, swept off the shafts of the arrows inserted in the rattan plates, and rushed towards the circle.
More than a dozen carts, pushed fast by the soldiers of Li's department, suddenly crashed into the rebels' gun forest, swinging the gun array away and knocking the shield wall into a dent.
Dozens of Li soldiers, following behind the big car, desperately pushed forward, the rebels' spears, could not pierce the Li soldiers behind the vehicle, the circle was squeezed a little dented, the rebel soldiers used spears, stabbed the side of the cart, Li soldiers waved their shields to resist, and after a while, the circle was broken.
Li Bu's soldiers are the most capable of fighting in the Wuwei Army, and Jin Shenghuan's family is also the elite of the elite, and as soon as the circle is broken, the two sides fall into a melee.
"Stop all the traitors back!" Jin Shenghuan brandished this sword, and the sound spread in all directions.
His personal guards, lined up in a dense formation, with swords and spears, desperately strangled the enemy, they have followed Jin Shenghuan since the Zuo Liangyu era, and their superb tactical literacy has been trained by years of conquest.
It's just that their opponent is not bad, it is one of Gao Jie's long tribes, and they have experienced no less battles than them.
The battle was extremely fierce, but after all, the number of Li troops was several times larger, and although the rebels tried their best to resist, the disadvantage was gradually revealed.
Jin Shenghuan was already red-eyed, and he didn't know how many people had been cut down with the big knife in his hand, and he didn't seem to want to live, just kept fighting.
Soon, the soldiers beside him fell one after another, and the rest of the men and horses were also divided and surrounded, and there were only more than ten people left around him, but Jin Shenghuan still did not have the slightest fear.
He is looking forward to death, looking forward to the end, this civil war is not glorious for Wang Yan, and the court is not good to study deeply, as long as he dies, Wang Yan has no worries, maybe in exchange for the court's leniency of his people.
The secret Li soldiers rushed towards him, but Jin Shenghuan was extremely brave, no one could get close to him, and the big knife in his hand was like a practice, and he was invincible.
Suddenly, several spears stabbed at him at the same time, and he dodged the several stabs in the chest, but he didn't pay attention to the next road, and the blood from the stab in the thigh immediately splattered.
The two leaders of the family killed the enemy soldiers, rushed forward to hold Jin Shenghuan, and shouted while dragging them back: "The traitors in the town are powerful, you go quickly!" ”
Jin Shenghuan didn't have time to answer, and the Li soldiers swarmed up again, and one of the pro-mutinies was stabbed down by a shot, but fortunately, several more family members were on top at this time to protect his safety.
At this time, Jin Shenghuan looked around the battlefield, there was not much left of the family, he looked at these people who were fighting for him, suddenly sighed, and then looked at the leader of the family who was supporting him, and couldn't help but say: "You have been following this town for ten years." ”
"It's been almost ten years since Jia Shennian followed the governor town!" The leader replied.
Jin Shenghuan looked at him and suddenly smiled, "In the past, the overlord killed himself, gave the body to the deceased, and let them seal ten thousand households!" You have followed me for many years, I am also a hero in the Central Plains, and I have nothing for you today, so you can take my head and change it to wealth! ”
After speaking, without waiting for the leader to reply, Jin Shenghuan slashed the knife and killed himself.
