This is an unequal war!
The rebels simply could not withstand such a ferocious impact from the official army, and the rebels' numerical advantage was almost negligible.
They had just fought, and they were immediately in danger of overturning!
When Sun Jingwen saw something was wrong, he immediately offered advice to He Jinyi: "General, the soldiers and horses of Shuofang Town are also here! The cavalry moves quickly and violently, like thunder and fire. Maybe a group of soldiers and horses have been sent to besiege the town! The emperor is in danger, we are at this time The most important thing should be to protect you and get back help as soon as possible."
Return support?
He Jinyi is bad, but not stupid. As soon as the war started, he just showed his defeat and this guy wanted to run away!
Oh shit!
Since you guys, who are as timid as mice and have little knowledge, can't rebel, why did you bother to persuade me in the first place? It's you who started the trouble! You are the one who quits when the slightest difficulty arises!
He Jinyi really regrets that he was so fooled by lard that he boarded this pirate ship!
"General!"
Outside the camp, a person suddenly rushed in, it was deputy general Ding Guang. He looked panicked and said loudly: "The enemy's offensive is extremely fierce! Moreover, they have a cavalry group!"
Not to mention Ding Guang panicking, even He Jinyi himself was a little panicked. He didn't rebel with the thought of dying on the battlefield in a few days!
"Retreat!" Sun Jingwen said in horror: "General, we must retreat quickly! Retreat to the town!"
This is the subconscious reaction of people who have lived in border towns all year round. It turns out that the Tatars relied on cavalry to defeat them, so people who live here know that the city is safe.
But He Jinyi really wanted to curse. The enemy clearly had cavalry, but they still retreated?
How can two legs outrun four!
So the meaning of Sun Jingwen's words is very straightforward, that is, gather all the remaining one hundred or so horses in the army, and ride them and run away quickly!
The extra people can't be taken care of at this time.
"You can't retreat! If you retreat now, you will definitely lose! Vice General Ding, you immediately lead your troops to support Vice General Zhou!"
Sun Jingwen was breathing rapidly. He did not expect that at such a critical moment, He Jinyi would be quite determined.
Ding Guang swallowed, a strange idea came to his mind, and then he responded, "Okay! I will obey your order!"
In fact, after leaving the camp, he thought that going to war was actually an opportunity to escape.
We are all soldiers. How can we still not know the strength of the soldiers and horses in Shuofang Town? Shuofang Town is among the army with the most money given by the imperial court. On weekdays, the soldiers complain together, and of course they will. He scolded them and even said that he wanted to go there to serve as a soldier.
Now that Ding Guang saw that all the soldiers and horses were coming, they definitely had no chance of winning alone.
And how could the imperial court respond so quickly? What's going on?
In the camp, Sun Jingwen forced out an awkward and ugly smile, "General...general,"
puff! !
Like lightning and flint, He Jinyi suddenly burst into flames and drew his sword directly to strike at Sun Jingwen.
The wound started from the forehead and went down, splitting a face into two halves. The picture was a bit scary.
Sun Jingwen couldn't react in time. All he could see was He Jinyi's angry expression, "How...how could...?"
brush!
He Jinyi probably felt angry and cut off Sun Jingwen's head with a single swing of the knife. He was not willing to say another word to this fool.
Boom, boom boom...
The head was covered in blood, drawing blood stains on the ground like a ball, and then the body fell straight down.
Some of the soldiers standing guard were stunned by this scene. They all knelt down, trembling and not daring to make a sound.
"This person has a grudge against me. I killed him today to avenge him. If you want to survive, come with me!"
The situation changes so fast that ordinary people simply don't have the ability to respond appropriately. Since He Jinyi is willing to take them, then let's follow.
"The last general is waiting. I would like to follow the great general."
"There won't be any great generals in the future. It was me who made the mistake of following these idiots to rebel. Look at these people, how can they possibly achieve anything?"
"What if...if everything fails, I don't know where the general is going to take us?"
"Go towards Helan Mountain and hide from the officers and soldiers. From now on, we will have no choice but to fall into the trap of bandits."
This decision is not easy. The key is family. They themselves survived, but what about the whole family?
But, there really is nothing we can do.
…
…
Wang Shouren rode to Wang Tingxiang's side. Both of them were civil servants, and serious charges and battles were not suitable for them.
"The rebels are about to collapse."
Wang Tingxiang glanced at Wang Shouren with his peripheral vision. The emperor had been using this person for a long time, and the whole court was aware of his ability in training troops. But this was the first time I actually saw the soldiers and horses fighting in Shuofang Town.
Unlike him who was a little anxious, Wang Shouren had always been calm since he came to Lingzhou Institute. However, the soldiers and horses he belonged to were extremely ferocious in fighting.
The young general named Han Twelve Lang led his troops to charge, killing the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables.
There was a strong sense of contrast between the commander's calm demeanor and the general's unstoppable determination, as if none of this was worthy of his seriousness.
"What is the purpose of Qiu Yue's troops?"
Wang Shouren looked ahead and said, "In order to prevent An Ni from escaping, we should naturally capture the town by surprise."
Zhang Cong was watching all this and really wanted to curse. They were so powerful and made me very nervous at first. The counter-insurgency war has not even begun yet, and they have already begun to grab the credit.
And the same goes for the crazy King Anhua. Don’t take up the porcelain job without diamonds and diamonds. He plans to rebel with just a few pounds!
This will actually put some political pressure on him. After all, the direct reason is his tough push to clean up the military settlements. When the court reacts afterwards, someone might come up to criticize his reckless behavior.
As for Wang Tingxiang, Wang Shouren's explanation was very accurate, and it was not easy for him to quarrel with him for no apparent reason.
Wang Shouren also has a father who is the Minister of Rites in the court. No matter what, the basic relationship must be maintained.
But there must be some unhappiness. Without Wang Shouren, this huge contribution belongs to him.
"Brother Bo'an is so capable! If it weren't for your soldiers and horses in Shuofang Town, this counterinsurgency battle would not have been so smooth. In the future, I will control Shaanxi. Brother Bo'an will be the governor of Hetao. You and I should move around more."
Wang Shouren returned the greeting, "Zhongcheng is polite, he is ordered to protect the land, and he should fulfill his duty."
"Zhongcheng! We win! The rebels started to escape!"
"really?"
Wang Tingxiang was overjoyed and immediately led his horse forward.
In fact, this is not a war, it is just a joke. People with a little knowledge can immediately think of the King of Han during the Xuande period, and then mutter in their hearts why the descendants of the Zhu family love to do such things.
Even those refugee armies in the late Ming Dynasty still couldn't do this in a head-on battle with elite government troops.
People like Zhou Ang and Ding Guang, no matter how brave they are, as long as the soldiers in their hands start to flee in fear of death, no one can save their lives.
Among the khaki valleys, the rebels who were still in formation were running for their lives like headless flies. Many of them threw away their helmets and armor and threw away everything that was in their way.
Wang Tingxiang was not a soft-hearted person. When dealing with these rebels, he allowed his soldiers to charge and kill them for a while.
In the evening, the army gathered together and each brought back a large number of prisoners.
Among the rebels, a high-ranking official like Zhou Ang was particularly conspicuous. How could the cavalry in Shuofang Town let him go?
Plop!
Zhou Ang was pushed and pushed. Because his hands were tied behind his back, it was difficult for him to find his balance and he fell down.
Wang Tingxiang snorted and grinned: "This person looks familiar to me. He is from Qianhu of Ningxia Guard. I never thought that such a wolf-hearted man would dare to join forces with An Ni and raise an army to rebel!"
"Kill if you want, why bother talking nonsense?! The imperial court is unkind and the people of the world are doing the opposite. What's wrong with that?"
"Nonsense!" Wang Tingxiang refused to talk nonsense to him, "Come on, drag him outside and behead him!"
Wang Shouren squinted his eyes, and he realized that this governor of Shaanxi was very cruel.
The emperor deliberately selected such people to occupy the border area of Shaanxi, perhaps because he was quite dissatisfied with the occupation of pastures and military camps.
After the rebellion of King Anhua, the border towns in all parts of Shaanxi, including the Ming Dynasty, will definitely be greatly shaken.
This Wang Tingxiang... should take advantage of the situation and take action ruthlessly.
