Chapter 119: Shan Xiongxin surrenders

As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves. Since there are such rumors, it is enough to show that Chen Ying will indeed have some secret methods that are difficult to peek into, and defeat the enemy on the battlefield. Of course, although Shan Xiongxin is a little worried, it is just worry. He believes more in strength.

Chen Ying's headquarters troops were concentrated on the plateau on the north side of Hangu Road, while the left and right divisions of the East Palace were on the southern plateau. Although there is a Hanya valley in the middle, at this time, it is a natural chasm. Don't look at the narrowest place at the bottom of Hanya Road, which can only accommodate a heavy carriage, and it is only more than one zhang wide and less than two zhang wide, but it is not so easy to reach the north plateau from the south plateau of the valley.

It is almost a vertical Hanya Road that cannot be climbed by manpower. Unless with the help of a rope ladder, and then for a while, the Tang army soldiers did not have this thing, and they could only watch as the Tang army in the north plateau was wiped out by them.

What about Chen Ying?

At this time, Chen Ying's troops were less than 8,000, half of which were about 3,000 or 4,000 men and horses were pinned down by Wang Renze on the north plateau on the east side, and in the face of the suppressive shooting of more than 5,000 strong crossbows, the counterattack of the Tang army's crossbowmen was weak, if it were not for the protection of the corpse wall, I am afraid that the Tang army had been shot and collapsed by the crossbowmen under Wang Renze's command at this time.

Moreover, Chen Ying's troops were only three Zhichong Mansions, and hundreds of soldiers were left to guard the prisoners of the Zheng Army's Tomahawk Battalion, if his 10,000 men and horses could not kill the three or four thousand people under Chen Ying's command, Shan Xiongxin felt that he could commit suicide.

It's good to have self-confidence, but it's not necessarily a good thing to have too much self-confidence.

Chen Ying's personal guard Zhichong Mansion, under the leadership of Ashina Simo, finally launched the first wave of attacks. The personal guard troops, generally speaking, will not play, but Shan Xiongxin likes to take the lead, so his personal guard is the most elite existence in the whole army, and Chen Ying is too afraid of death, so his personal guard equipment is naturally the best. Shan Xiongxin's personal guards and Chen Ying's personal guards can be said to be ace troops.

Shan Xiongxin didn't dare to show weakness, and led the guards to meet Chen Ying's guards to a trump card.

Shan Xiongxin still has thousands of cavalry, but Chen Ying's personal guard cavalry only has more than 400 cavalry, which is more than twice as small as Shan Xiongxin's personal guard cavalry. However, at this time, under the leadership of Ashina Simo, the personal guard cavalry under Chen Ying lit up the hook and sickle in their hands, and the blade of the hook and sickle spear more than four meters long flashed with a cold light under the reflection of the snow, and rushed forward like a lightning speed.

The personal guard cavalry under the command of Shan Xiongxin took the lead in firing arrows at Chen Ying's personal guard cavalry, but there were not many people who fell from their horses under the string, and the Han people's riding skills were too far from the Turkic cavalry, and only a few could accurately order the enemy on the horse. Moreover, Chen Ying's personal guard cavalry was actually equipped with Mingguang armor made of high manganese steel, of course, this kind of Mingguang armor was far less thick than the Mingguang armor of the Modao Army, but the light bow to defend against light cavalry was naturally enough.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Ying's personal guard cavalry collided with Shan Xiongxin's personal guard cavalry, but Chen Ying felt very regretful that he was surrounded by dense personal guard cavalry in front and behind, and he was not given a chance to pick up the enemy at all. Of course, if Chen Yingzhen has the same skills as Shan Xiongxin or Luo Shixin, the guards will not not give Chen Ying the slightest chance to demonstrate his martial arts, but with Chen Ying's martial arts, fighting against Shan Xiongxin, I am afraid that it is to give Shan Xiongxin a head, if Chen Ying is killed by Shan Xiongxin, they will not have any chance at all in this battle.

The hook and sickle lancers lined up in a dense formation, the hook and sickle blade more than half a meter long relies on the huge kinetic energy carried by the horse, and easily pierces the iron armor or leather armor on the body of the Shan Xiongxin personal guard cavalry, even if the hook and sickle fails to directly hit the enemy, you can also use the unique hook of the hook and sickle to hook the Shan Xiongxin personal guard cavalry off the horse.

In most cases, the sharp hook and sickle pierced from the front chest and out of the back, driven by the huge kinetic energy of the war horse, the hook and sickle stabbed the corpse, and quickly tore into pieces.

Shan Xiongxin was frightened by the scene in front of him, the hook and sickle was like a meat grinder, and in an instant, more than 200 of his personal guards were swept off the war horses in an instant, and the sharp blade cut the flesh and the soldiers screamed in pain one after another.

At this time, the Hook Sickle Cavalry under Chen Ying's command was like a sharp knife, cutting through the defense line of Shan Xiongxin's personal guard without delay. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Tang Army, Chen Ying was like a god of war, with three or four hundred cavalry like the blade of death, Zheng Jun's invincible Shan Xiongxin was swept down, and everywhere Chen Ying passed, there was flesh and blood flying everywhere, stumps and broken arms everywhere, and no one's war horses everywhere, neighing.

It was as if the horses were telling of their misfortunes.

When the cavalry of Shan Xiongxin's department, who were lucky enough not to die, saw this scene, they were completely frightened, and they all fled in fear.

At that moment, at that moment, an intuition that had been immersed for decades rushed into Shan Xiongxin's mind! There were some looming messages that quickly turned into fear in his heart! Shan Xiongxin shouted, "Stop, protect the flag!" ”

Protecting the general's flag is also protecting himself! Because Shan Xiongxin found that there was only a thin layer in front of him, but more than a hundred cavalry, if Chen Ying's strange cavalry was allowed to charge again, I am afraid that even he would not be spared.

Shan Xiongxin is a flying general after all, he can see at a glance that Chen Ying's hook and sickle cavalry is different, this cavalry is not fighting alone with you at all, no matter how brave a person is, even he himself can't attack at the same time with several hook and sickle guns on the other side, Shan Xiongxin originally gave orders through the people around him, but at this time, he blurted out, and the herald soldiers around him naturally agreed without thinking about it.

"Protect the flag!"

The cavalry around Shan Xiongxin moved, and it turned from a loose forward rush to a circular encirclement.

Watching Shan Xiongxin change from offense to defense, Chen Ying was overjoyed, the horizontal knife in his hand slashed forward into the void, and roared with all his might: "The enemy is defeated, Shan Xiongxin is instigated, defeat the enemy, and capture Shan Xiongxin alive." ”

Ashina Simo and his personal guards also shouted: "The enemy is defeated, Shan Xiongxin is instigated, defeat the enemy, and capture Shan Xiongxin alive." ”

More than 1,000 people shouted, so that the soldiers of the Tang Army, whose morale had recovered slightly, looked at Shan Xiongxin in unison, but Shan Xiongxin naturally couldn't see it, but they could see that Shan Xiongxin's general flag was indeed retreating. In this scene, the soldiers on both sides watched it at the same time.

However, the Tang soldiers believed Chen Ying's words, Shan Xiongxin was defeated, and Shan Xiongxin was instigated. The officers and men of the Tang Army, especially the soldiers led by the left guard, were already exhausted and in a trance, but in such a situation, they rose up and fought as if they had taken a strong pill.

As the so-called one disappears and the other rises, the morale of the Tang army is greatly boosted, the momentum of the Tang army is like a rainbow, but the morale of Shan Xiongxin's department quickly fell to the freezing point, Zheng Jun's morale is attracted by Shan Xiongxin, the god of war, with his personal personality charm, the so-called success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, Shan Xiongxin was "defeated" by the Tang army, and they naturally have no will to fight.

Shan Xiongxin looked at the imposing Tang Army lancers, and was suddenly blindsided.

Not only did he be blinded, but Wang Ren was also blinded.

It's really a hell of a day today, the lightly armed infantry was abused into a dog by Chen Ying's Modao army. Here, before his heavy tomahawk battalion could exert its might, it was thrown to the ground by the hook and sickle and tied into rice dumplings.

As for the crossbowmen, they are obviously pressing the other side to fight. But it was impossible to achieve breakthrough results, the Tang army was very chicken thieves, hiding behind the corpse wall without showing his head, because the weather was cold, the corpse had already frozen into ice, and the arrows of the bow and crossbow were shot at the corpse wall, at most only three inches were inserted, and they could not shoot through the corpse wall at all.

Let the light infantry come forward to assault, although the archers of the Tang army did not have the ability to suppress the Zheng army's crossbowmen, they could not bully their light infantry skills, but it was more than enough, the light infantry assault, tried six times in a row, and the results were all shot back without exception, but more than a thousand corpses were lost, and they became two corpse walls in front of the Tang army.

Shan Xiongxin did not give up and launched a decisive assault with the personal guard cavalry around him, but it was also useless, and he was hit by the lancers led by Ashina and broke his head and bled out.

The tragic battle made the brains of the soldiers on both sides on the battlefield appear short blank, and they looked at the stumps and broken arms on the battlefield in surprise, dazed and at a loss.

"General, you can't fight anymore, if you keep fighting, the brothers will be finished!" Guo Qing's heart was dripping blood at this time, and in just over a quarter of an hour, Zheng Jun's Shan Xiongxin's department lost a full 2,000 men and horses, of course, these two thousand men and horses did not make Shan Xiongxin's department lose their vitality.

But war is the continuation of politics, Guo Qing has no backstage in Wang Shichong's Zheng court, but Shan Xiongxin is a popular person next to Wang Shichong and Wang Renze, and he is a concubine. Even if the troops are exhausted, Wang Shichong will replenish him, and the key is that someone must be responsible for this defeat.

He, Guo Qing, as Shan Xiongxin's deputy general, has a big head and is not small, and he is suitable for carrying this black pot.

Although Shan Xiongxin was stunned, Chen Ying was not, he continued to command the guards and lancers: "Crush them for General Ben!" ”

Boom Boom Boom......

The thunderous horses' hooves sounded on the north plateau of Hangu Road, and with the hook and sickle iron cavalry soaring, the Zheng army in front of them, whether it was cavalry or infantry, without exception, they were all blood spraying wildly, and corpses were all scattered all over the field.

At this time, Shan Xiongxin's general, who was on the battlefield, was so red that his eyes were so red that he was almost spurting blood.

Of course, Qin Yong is not Qin Qiong's righteous son as stated in "The Legend of the Xingtang Dynasty". In fact, Qin Yong was just Qin Qiong's personal soldier team, and was seconded by Shan Xiongxin and promoted to the rank of military captain. From a small squad (platoon) to the current lieutenant (regimental level), Qin Yong was promoted exceptionally.

Qin Yong was very loyal to Shan Xiongxin, even if the surrounding tribes had no intention of fighting, he still fought hard. Qin stabbed a lancer with a spear, but at that moment, two hooked sickles slashed at him left and right. Rao is Qin is sensitive, but the hook and sickle made a deep hole in his legs, and the blood roared out, Qin fell to the ground with a decadent one, and he used the spear to sweep another hook and sickle that stabbed him in the throat, and roared: "You ......"

Ashina Simo raised his bow and arrow without hesitation, preparing to take Qin Yong's life.

"Wait!"

"He can't hold it anymore!" Chen Yingdao: "Shan Xiongxin, look around, can you bear to watch your brothers die miserably like this?" If you don't surrender, they'll all have to be buried with you! ”

The guards around Chen Ying shouted one after another: "Shan Xiongxin, look around, can you bear to watch your brothers die like this?" If you don't surrender, they'll all have to be buried with you! ”

Shan Xiongxin's face was red and white, and he was fighting fiercely in his heart. He didn't want to surrender, he didn't care what Wang Shichong was, but Wang Shichong didn't feel sorry for him. Knowing the grace of meeting and giving marriage and daughter, Shan Xiongxin had no choice, he would not surrender and did not want to watch his brother being slaughtered by Chen Ying.

Shan Xiongxin gritted his teeth and popped out a word from between his teeth: "Withdraw!" ”

The officers and men of the Zheng army turned around one after another, and the rear team changed to the front team and retreated towards the west side of the Xiangbei Plateau. However, just as Shan Xiongxin was about to turn his horse's head, suddenly a rattling arrow rang out from the west, a terrible arrow, with a sharp whistling sound, and slammed into the throat of a guard general.

The sharp arrow pierced through his throat, and before the general could scream, he fell from his horse with a thud.

A flag hunted in the wind, and above the flag, the two big "Wei Chi" looked unusually blinking.

Wei Chigong, whose face was as black as charcoal, rode out of the battle and shouted loudly: "Shan Xiongxin, I respect you as a hero, surrender!" ”
