The battle in the wilderness lasted less than half an hour before the winner was decided. The charging cavalry team cut off the rebel troops two or three times in a very short period of time.
Although the rebels were large in number, they had no fighting spirit and were no match for the cavalry. Wherever the cavalry went, they were invincible. Although the rebel soldiers were shouting loudly, they were actually avoiding the cavalry attack.
When the cavalry came, they hid on both sides without organizing any decent resistance.
The sky has completely darkened, and the rebel soldiers who have no fighting spirit have finally reached the moment of collapse. The rebel soldiers who have had enough of all this have begun to flee. How long will it take to escape now while it is dark?
Several soldiers dropped their weapons and began to run towards the dark wilderness. They ignored the loud shouts of the small bosses and disappeared into the darkness.
Once someone takes the lead in this kind of thing, it will spread like a plague.
Dozens of rebels dropped their weapons and fled, followed by hundreds, hundreds, or even thousands of people fleeing.
Everything was like an avalanche. Once the rout started, it was unstoppable and became increasingly difficult to control. Thousands of soldiers and horses in the rear quickly became scurrying pigs and sheep all over the mountains and plains.
Although the rebel generals tried their best to control the situation, it was obvious that they were powerless and could only watch all this happening before their eyes. What they were thinking about at this moment was no longer how to prevent the soldiers from escaping, but their own safety.
.
Soon, the central army and the front army began to be affected. When the cavalry team began to attack the central army and the front army, everything was as out of control as a dam collapsed.
The rebel soldiers shouted, abandoned their armor and began to flee desperately, and the formation quickly collapsed.
He Jinyi waved his long sword and rode his horse to chase the fleeing soldiers, shouting loudly: "Come back, you sons of bitches. If you dare to run away, I will chop you down."
Under his long sword, he chopped down one deserter after another. But this did not stop the soldiers from fleeing even more crazily.
He Jinyi knew in his heart that the situation was over, but he refused to accept this fact. The soldiers could escape, but where could He Jinyi escape? He had no choice.
"Come back, come back to me. Don't run away, don't run away."
He Jinyi shouted at the top of his lungs. If possible, he would even dismount his horse and kneel down to them to ask for permission. This was the first time that He Jinyi had despaired because of his participation in a rebellion. The glorious moment when he was awarded the title of "General in Fighting against Thieves" seemed to be just around the corner.
Previously, the victory of repelling the imperial army and crossing the river seemed to have happened not long ago. However, in the blink of an eye, all this was on the verge of disappearing and collapsing.
He Jinyi still rode his horse to stop his fleeing men, making futile efforts. In the chaos, he saw Ding Guang running away with dozens of his men. He rode his horse and rushed over.
"Ding Guang! Where are you going? Why don't you resist the enemy?" He Jinyi shouted loudly.
Ding Guang, who was preparing to flee with dozens of his men, trembled with fright and hurriedly said: "General, hurry up and flee with the last general. The situation is over. The soldiers have almost finished their run, and they can't leave unless they flee."
"
"Bastard, how dare you do this? I order you to gather your troops and fight immediately." He Jinyi cursed angrily.
Ding Guang frowned and said: "General, those who know the current affairs are heroes. At this time, the general is still unwilling to admit defeat? We have lost and it is irreversible. General, it is better to accept our fate. Let's take our bodyguard brothers with us.
They ran away and found an old forest cat in the mountains, and they couldn't do anything to us. Why stay here and seek death?"
He Jinyi pointed his sword at Ding Guang and shouted: "You bastard, what are you talking about? Do you want to disobey me?"
Ding Guang's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "General, if you want to die, don't drag us with you. If you want to fight, just go on your own. The general will not accompany you."
He Jinyi was furious and cursed angrily: "You bastard, I will kill you."
Ding Guang sneered, waved his hand, and said to the people behind him: "Moli, this lunatic, let's go. He's crazy."
He Jinyi was about to go crazy. He urged the horse to rush over and raised the sword in his hand. He wanted to kill this greedy person with his own hands. Anyone can talk to himself like this, but he can't. He Ding
What is Guang? A small Qianhu followed him to the high position of deputy general. How dare he ignore himself, insult himself, and betray himself.
He Jinyi galloped forward on his horse, arrived at Ding Guang's side, raised the long knife in his hand high, and slashed at Ding Guang.
There was a pop, and He Jinyi felt pain in his chest, and his arms froze in the air. A long spear was inserted into his chest, and the tip of the spear was inserted several inches, and blood quickly poured out.
"Kill him to death. What an annoying guy. If we hadn't listened to his tricks, how could we have ended up like this? He still refuses to let us escape and wants us to die with him? It's really abominable."
Ding Guang's voice reached his ears, like a distant voice coming from the clouds, chaotic and distant.
He Jinyi only felt a series of pains in his chest, abdomen, thighs and arms, and all the energy in his body seemed to be drained out in an instant. He couldn't control his body and fell off the horse and fell heavily to the ground. Soon, he could no longer see his eyes and could no longer hear his ears.
, there was no feeling in the body. After sighing slightly, he died.
"Let's go!" Ding Guang waved his hand and ran away quickly.
Dozens of guards followed him and left. When one of the guards walked past He Jinyi's body, he raised his foot and kicked He Jinyi's body several feet away, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and smashed his head into pieces.
Crotch position.
Countless rebel generals and soldiers were walking around in panic, but no one even glanced at He Jinyi, who was staring dead with his head stuck in his crotch.
After the battle lasted for an hour, there were no enemies around the cavalry led by Zhang Yin. They were left standing alone in the wilderness. Surrounded by corpses of men and horses, and rebel soldiers who fell to the ground and groaned.
, no one is standing on the battlefield anymore.
What Zhang Yin and others thought was going to be a bloody battle in which the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered, suddenly came to an abrupt end. Many cavalry did not even feel much pressure, nor did they feel the impact of the opponent's large number.
A sense of oppression. During the battle, the opponent had no fighting spirit and collapsed at the first touch. Only a small part of the rebels resisted stubbornly, and the vast majority of the rebels dispersed shortly after the battle began.
When Shi Yong, who had defeated the ferry rebels at the ferry, led more than 2,000 soldiers and horses to come for reinforcements, he was stunned to see the empty battlefield in front of him.
One thousand cavalry faced nearly 20,000 rebels, and actually defeated their opponents in an hour. This was an incredible battle.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the rebels have long been at the end of their rope and have no fighting spirit. They have lost their goals and courage, and have become losers. They have no intention of fighting. A soldier who has lost his goals and beliefs, and lost his morale and courage.
It's no longer an army at all. It's just a ragtag group of people.
But at the same time, this must have a lot to do with the fierce combat effectiveness of this cavalry. More than 300 cavalrymen are equipped with fire blunderbuss, of which 50 are equipped with bird blunderbuss. More than 700 cavalrymen are all well-trained and capable of fighting.
They are well-educated and well-equipped, and full of fighting spirit like tigers and wolves. When they rush into the enemy's position, they are as invincible as chopping melons and vegetables. This huge intimidation effect also completely breaks down the psychology of the rebels.
In this battle, the main force of the rebel army was completely destroyed. More than a thousand people, including the rebel general He Jinyi and a dozen rebel generals, died on the battlefield, and more than 1,300 people were injured. The rest all fled.
Strictly speaking, this is not a battle of annihilation. But in terms of actual effect, it is no different from the total annihilation of the rebels.
…
Three days after He Jinyi's defeat, small groups of rebels from various places were defeated or surrendered one after another. Officials and generals from various places expressed their support for the imperial army to suppress the rebellion, and wrote letters to expose King Anhua's crimes.
At this point, a massive rebellion launched by Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu basically came to an end after lasting for more than a month. The main people who initiated the rebellion were tightly arrested, and few of them slipped through the net.
This rebellion affected more than half of the area under the jurisdiction of Ningxia Town, causing heavy casualties among soldiers and civilians, and causing serious disasters. The consequences did not disappear just because the rebellion was quelled.
The aftermath is still there, and there is even an undercurrent. People on the outside may not be able to feel it, but people on the inside have already felt this deeply.
On the tenth day of May, Yang Yiqing led an army to the south of Ningxia City. Zhang Yanling led his generals and city officials to welcome Yang Yiqing and others outside the south city.
