Chapter 261: Death of Galiba

While running, Galiba did not forget to shout for his men to continue to stop Zhu Shenzhui. Although they were beaten back step by step, Galiba's personal guards still gritted their teeth and tried to stop him.

Seeing Galiba suddenly running several meters away like a rabbit, and running to the other side of the tent, Zhu Shenzui became a little anxious. He must not let this guy get away. If he couldn't catch him, and when Galiba escaped and gathered his men to kill him again, everything would be over.

There is only one chance, and now is the best chance. Everything was as expected from the beginning to the end, and everything went so smoothly. The key to the decapitation tactic this time is to capture Galiba. If he cannot be captured, killing more Mongols will be useless.

Besides, the Mandarin Duck Formation is not truly invincible. Zhu Shencui and his men have only caught the enemy off guard. Comparing the military strength of both sides, Galiba is far stronger than Zhu Shencui, and there are too few people on his side. Once they are surrounded, let alone fighting, the enemy can just rely on their numbers to trap them to death, and Zhu Shencui will have no way to cope with it.

Seeing that Galiba was about to run away, Zhu Shenzhui drew the musket from his waist without hesitation, raised his hand and shot at Galiba.

With a bang, a gunshot rang out. Galiba, who was running, stumbled violently but did not fall down. The bullet only hit Galiba's right arm, knocking the iron hammer in his hand to the ground and injuring his arm.

Galiba covered his right arm that was shot and didn't even look back, but continued to run. Zhu Shenzhui threw his gun to the ground, pulled out another musket and raised his hand to shoot again, but this time the shot didn't even hit Galiba's body and no one knew where the bullet flew to.

"Kill! Kill him, don't let him run away!" Zhu Shenzui was very angry after two consecutive shots failed to stop Galiba. Now the distance between the two sides has been shortened to more than 30 meters. Galiba's guards are still trying their best to stop them, and the Mongols who were just killed behind them have also come to their senses and are rushing towards this side. If these Mongols can gather together and surround them, the situation will be completely reversed in an instant.

Unfortunately, Zhu Shenzhui didn't have wings, so he couldn't fly over and kill Galiba. He could only watch Galiba run farther and farther away. If he let him escape, everything would be over. Not only would their efforts fail, but they would all have to stay here.

Zhu Shenzhui felt a little regretful at this moment. He regretted why he didn't move faster and take down this bastard before Galiba escaped. Or if his shot was more accurate, if he could knock down Galiba with one shot, he would still be sure of victory.

Unfortunately, the battlefield was unpredictable and unpredictable situations could occur at any time. Zhu Shenzhui did not have time to think about it. He decisively assessed the situation around him and decided to continue to break out. As long as he opened a gap in front and rushed out, he might be able to escape before Galiba gathered his troops and led his men to outflank him.

At this time, Galiba had already run nearly a hundred meters, and wearing heavy armor, he was out of breath. He paused for a moment and looked back. When he saw that his men had blocked Zhu Shenzhui's way and the other party had not been able to break through the barrier and chase him, Galiba breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha! Hahaha!"

Galiba burst into laughter, he was sure to win, he would gather his men and fight back, Zhu Shenzhui and his men would not be able to escape. When the time came, Galiba would chop off Zhu Shenzhui's head with his own hands, and make a skull bowl out of his head, and drink from this bowl in the future, it must taste good.

As for that bitch Tana and her little bastard, they must not be let go either. When the time comes, let their family be reunited. This is the best arrangement that the third brother can make for his sister. Thinking of this, Galiba smiled, as if he had already seen this ending.

No one expected that at this moment, a horse suddenly appeared from nowhere. The man on the horse was wearing Mongolian clothes and he rode his horse at high speed towards Galiba.

"Galiba! You are a traitor who killed your father and brother! Give me your life!"

With a roar, Wang Hai rode out on his horse, holding a spear in his hand and rushing towards Galiba with the force of thunder. Hearing the shouts and screams, Galiba subconsciously looked up. When he saw Wang Hai riding a horse and rushing towards him at high speed, he was instantly frightened and turned around and ran away without thinking.

But Wang Hai was coming too fast. How could Galiba's two legs outrun the horse that had already picked up speed? He had just run two steps when Wang Hai came close to him. Galiba heard the sound of horse hooves behind him and quickly dodged to the left, but he forgot that his right arm was injured. This dodged not only failed to avoid it, but also affected the wound on his arm. He subconsciously groaned, and just as he was about to continue running, Wang Hai's killing move had already arrived.

"go to hell!"

Wang Hai roared, and thrust out the spear in his hand, taking advantage of the horse's speed to stab behind Galiba.

With a horrifying scream, Galiba was stabbed through the heart on the spot. One third of the spear, which was nearly ten feet long, came out directly from Galiba's chest. Galiba felt severe pain all over his body. He looked down at the bloody spear tip protruding from his chest, with an expression of disbelief and confusion on his face. Then he shook and fell to the ground powerlessly. The scene changed so quickly that no one expected such an outcome. When everyone reacted, Galiba had died in Wang Hai's hands. Wang Hai rode his horse past and immediately turned his horse's head. At this time, Galiba had already fallen to the ground. He jumped off his horse and strode forward, kicked off Galiba's helmet, then drew out his saber and chopped off Galiba's head with a single blow.

Grabbing the braid on Galiba's head, Wang Hai jumped on his horse, held up the head and shouted: "The traitor Galiba has surrendered, why don't you surrender?"

Zhu Shenzui was overjoyed. He didn't expect Wang Hai to arrive so timely. Galiba actually died at the hands of Wang Hai.

As soon as Galiba died, the morale of those Mongols who had been trying hard to stop them just now instantly deflated like a balloon that had been punctured. The same was true for those Mongols who were encircling them. They stared at Wang Hai in front of them with Galiba's head in their hands, staring at each other in amazement, not knowing what to do next.

"Galiba has surrendered! You all must surrender immediately. Those who drop their weapons and kneel down to surrender will not be killed!"

How could Zhu Shenzhui miss this opportunity? He immediately shouted in Mongolian. Not many people in the new army knew Mongolian, but Hu Lin and several other old friends did. When they heard Zhu Shenzhui shouting, they also shouted. As the shouting sounded, Galiba's men were all dumbfounded. After the first one dropped his weapon and prostrated himself towards Zhu Shenzhui, the second person... and the third person appeared one after another.

Galiba was dead, his head was held by Wang Hai, and everyone saw it clearly. What was the point of working for Galiba now? The Mongols were not fools, and everyone knew that this was an internal struggle within the tribe. The final winner was Zhu Shenzhui, and Zhu Shenzhui was Tana's husband, the son-in-law of Taiji Ashi Timur, and could be considered a member of the tribe. Surrendering to him was not a burden to these Mongols.

There were also a few stubborn and hard-line elements who intended to gather their men to avenge Galiba. Unfortunately, when the vast majority of people began to surrender, these few people had no chance at all. With Zhu Shenzhui's order, anyone who did not surrender was killed without mercy. With a few short screams, these people were easily killed.

"Master, I have accomplished your mission!"

The outcome was decided, and Wang Hai breathed a sigh of relief. He rode his horse forward, jumped off the horse a few meters away from Zhu Shenzhui, and knelt on one knee in front of Zhu Shenzhui holding Galiba's head, holding the head in both hands and offering it to Zhu Shenzhui.

After glancing at Galiba's head with his eyes still open, Zhu Shenzui smiled and helped Wang Hai up.

"Good boy, you are amazing! Didn't you go to set the fire? Where did this come from?"

"Hehehe..." Wang Hai grinned and told Zhu Shenzhui that he and his men set fire to the camp and then quietly moved towards the big tent. He originally planned to see if there was any chance to help, but he didn't expect that he came at such a coincidence. As soon as he arrived near the big tent, he saw Galiba abandoning his troops and fleeing alone, and at this time, Galiba was the only one around.

Seeing this, Wang Hai's eyes suddenly lit up. How could he miss such an opportunity? Without thinking too much, Wang Hai picked up his spear and rushed towards Galiba.

Everyone knows what happened next. Galiba died in Wang Hai's hands without any reaction, and even his head was chopped off by Wang Hai. The death of Galiba was the final outcome, and the battle was won, which really surprised and delighted Zhu Shenzhui.

Galiba surrendered, and all other Mongols also surrendered, and Zhu Shencui took control of the tribe. However, this control was only temporary, and there was still a lot to do. Zhu Shencui then asked people to find the two remaining elders and leaders of the tribe, told them that Galiba was dead, and asked them to help him stabilize the tribe.

The two elders and leaders were timid and opportunistic, otherwise they would not have joined Galiba before. Now that Galiba had died at Zhu Shenzhui's hands, how could they not agree? After Zhu Shenzhui sent a few soldiers as their "guards", the two immediately helped stabilize the tribe. With their appearance, the Mongols in the tribe gradually felt at ease. When they learned that Galiba had been killed by Zhu Shenzhui, many Mongols who had joined the tribe on the surface but were dissatisfied with Galiba in their hearts cheered for a while.

As for the Mongolian captives, Zhu Shencui did not make things difficult for them. Except for a few hardliners, most of the Mongolians were tribesmen. He singled out the leaders and detained them separately. Zhu Shencui publicly pardoned the crimes of the other ordinary Mongolian captives. After the announcement of this decision, the originally uneasy Mongolians were grateful and knelt on the ground, pointing at Changshengtian and swearing allegiance to Zhu Shencui.

Zhu Shenzui sent more people to pick up Tana and the child and bring them back to the tribe. Although he had won, the tribe's affairs were not over yet. For the Mongols in the tribe, although he was the son-in-law of Ashe Temur, he was still a Ming Dynasty man after all. But Tana was different. Tana was the daughter of Ashe Temur and was originally a noble person in the tribe. Only when she returned to the tribe could the Mongols in the tribe feel completely at ease.
