Chapter 120 The Reason for Shan Xiongxin to Die

In the afternoon, the heavy snow stopped, and the long-lost sunlight also appeared. The sun shone on the snow and was dazzlingly white, which made people unable to see for a long time. Shan Xiongxin looked at Yuchi Gong's flag. Behind Yuchi Gong, it stretched for two or three miles. The secrets were filled with the figures of Tang soldiers, black armor and cold weapons, which were extremely dazzling under the sunlight.

In front were thousands of soldiers under Yuchi Gong blocking the way, and behind were chasing the troops led by Chen Ying. For a moment, Shan Xiongxin fell into a dilemma.

Whether it is the northern plateau or the southern plateau of Hangu Road, it is actually a Jedi. On the south side of the northern plateau is the Hangu Road, which is nearly thirty feet deep. When it is not equipped, the ice and snow are as smooth as a mirror. Jumping downward is purely a search for death, even if you are lucky enough to die, it will become disabled. On the north side of the northern plateau is the famous Yellow River. Because the Yellow River is very different from the dry and rising periods, jumping north at this time, committing suicide is no different.

Shan Xiongxin looked at the left and right, with strong enemies in front of him, and he could no longer see the possibility of breaking through.

It should be said that Yuchi Gong could cross Hangu Road from the southern plateau of Hangu Road to block the front of Shan Xiongxin, mainly relying on Chen Ying's hook and sickle spear invented by Chen Ying. In fact, when Chen Ying founded the hook and sickle spear, he did not imitate the golden gunner Xu Ning in "Water Margin", but instead imitated the white-rod soldiers founded by Qin Liangyu, the general of the stone pillars of the late Ming Dynasty, and his husband Ma Qiancheng. In fact, the hook and sickle spear created by Chen Ying is a combination of Xu Ning's hook and sickle spear and Qin Liangyu's white-rod soldiers. The head of the hook and sickle spear is exactly the same as the hook and sickle spear founded by Xu Ning, but the tail of the gun carries a steel ring made of steel. Dozens of hook and sickle spear are hooked together to form a gun ladder for climbing over the walls and mountains.

When Yuchi Gong saw that Chen Ying was under great pressure, and Wang Ren also concentrated his superior forces to attack the north plateau of Hangu Road where Chen Ying was, trying to attack Chen Ying with east and west. At this time, the Right Guard of the East Palace led the left deputy commander Gao Yunquan to combine the hook and sickle spearmen of the two regiments of the Right Guard of the Second Mansion led by Gao Yunquan to form a gun ladder.

Yuchi Gong also made a quick decision. He and Gao Yunquan divided into two groups. Yuchi Gong led the four Zhechong Mansions of the Zuosi Yusu to support Chen Ying, while Gao Yunquan led the four Zhechong Mansions of the Yousi Yusu to attack east along the southern plateau of Hangu Road.

Chen Ying looked at Shan Xiongxin in a dilemma and said, "Shan Xiongxin, surrender, you can't escape!"

Shan Xiongxin naturally understood that what Chen Ying said was not a false alarm. He defeated Chen Ying three consecutive games this year, crossed Chen Ying's two Zhechong Mansions, and also half-destroyed the third Zhechong Mansion. However, the more than a thousand personal guards he relied on the most, fought fiercely for more than an hour, and both the troops had reached their limits. Even Shan Xiongxin himself felt very tired. On the contrary, the Tang army under Chen Ying's troops had fully cultivated their spirits, and one increased and the other disappeared, which eliminated the gap between the combat powers of the two sides. What's more, on the battlefield of the North Plain of Hangu Road, the Tang army's troops had exceeded their troops, forming a situation advantage.

Of course, Shan Xiongxin is not without any chance. The key is to see whether Wang Ren can break through Chen Ying’s defense line on the east side.

Seeing that Shan Xiongxin did not answer, Chen Ying smiled and said, "Shan Xiongxin, surrender, you can't escape!"

Shan Xiongxin's face became even more bitter when he heard this. How could he surrender? In April last year, Wang Shichong gave him marriage to Shan Xiongxin. Now the fetus in his wife, Princess Zheng, has been seven months old. Shan Xiongxin has seen the imperial physician in the palace. The imperial physician swears to assure Shan Xiongxin that the child must be a boy.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no descendant is the greatest. Shan Xiongxin believes that if the tiger poisons does not eat his son, even if he surrenders, Wang Shichong will not make things difficult for his unborn son and Wang Shichong's grandson.

However, it is certain that if they surrender, their mother and son will be disgraceful. Although Shan Xiongxin has a good relationship with Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin looked down on Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin. Whether it is Qin Qiong or Luo Shixin, both of them were promoted by Zhang Xutuo, especially Luo Shixin. Zhang Xutuo was good at his teacher and father. However, after Li Mi led the Wagang army to defeat Zhang Xutuo, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin both surrendered to Li Mi and became one of the eight generals of the Wei Kingdom of Li Mi.

"I want me, Shan Xiongxin, to surrender, but I don't even have a door!" Shan Xiongxin ordered: "The whole army turned around and fought with Chen Ying'er!"

Shan Xiongxin's orders were conveyed to the generals under his command one by one.

Shan Xiongxin's remnants are actively preparing for the battle, but Chen Ying will not be able to see it. Chen Ying said to Wei Wenzhong, Feng Li, He Yuejing and other generals: "Shan Xiongxin is ready to break through!"

The terrain here is more beneficial to Chen Ying, which is insurmountable. For Shan Xiongxin, who broke through, he would either fight to the east and fight to the death, or to face Yuchi Gong in a peak duel with Shan Xiongxin. No matter how Shan Xiongxin chooses, the result will be very unfavorable to him. Fortunately, it is this narrow northern plateau, otherwise Chen Ying would not be able to use only more than 10,000 people to surround the 7,088 remaining troops under Shan Xiongxin.

If it was in a wide area, Shan Xiongxin concentrated his troops and made a point of a sudden, Chen Ying could leave at most a part of Shan Xiongxin's troops, and he could not completely wipe out. However, even if Shan Xiongxin wants to defeat the enemy, he can only think about it.

Chen Ying suddenly felt aroused and a thought appeared in his mind.

Chen Ying looked at He Yuejing and asked, "The ice surface of the Yellow River can already cross the horse at this time, right?"

He Yuejing thought for a while and said, "But it is not easy to think about going down the river from the top of the plateau!"

"It's not easy, it doesn't mean it's impossible!" Chen Ying smiled and said, "When the general of Wei, Deng Aiqi, raided Chengdu, detoured Yinping, crossed Motianling, encountered Baizhang Cliff, and had no way forward, and he was unable to advance. Deng Ai had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses wrapped in blankets and rolled down the hillside from Baizhang Cliff. More than 10,000 people were killed. More than 2,000 injured, as many as 5,000 and only 2,000 troops were left. However, Deng Ai still took Chengdu and destroyed Shu."

He Yuejing asked in confusion: "What the general means is that Shan Xiongxin will jump and break through the ice of the Yellow River?"

"People's will to live is very terrible!" Chen Ying said: "You go and bring some people, use rope ladders, and use the fastest time to drill through the ice surface of the Yellow River."

"But it's too thick, the entire riverbed is frozen... Our staff are too nervous!" He Yuejing smiled bitterly and said, "There are too few staff to be transferred, and it is impossible to penetrate the ice surface of the Yellow River for a while. With too many people, the general is here..."

The Yellow River is in the autumn and winter, but the Yellow River in Hangu Pass has a huge drop, with a drop of more than 140 miles in just 100 miles, and the water flow is fast, making it the most dangerous section of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. The water flow is fast, making the ice layer of the Yellow River in the Hangu section not very thick, but this year it is particularly cold and the ice layer is thicker, but it is much better than the entire riverbed in the middle and upper reaches of the river.

"Don't we still have the prisoners of Zheng's tomahawk camp in our hands? Those two thousand big guys have the strength. Strip off their armor and give them an axe to dig ice!" Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "They were mainly guarding the 500 prisoners. I'll transfer you another 500 people. One thousand saw two thousand people, which should be almost the same."

The most powerful thing about heavy infantry is that their armor can ignore the sword, spear, and arrows. Once they are stripped of heavy armor, they will die if they are chopped and injured if they are shot.

...

Shan Xiongxin sat on the back of the horse, tying the reins on the horse and watching high, trying to find the gaps in the enemy formation, but the more he looked, the more he felt chilled and desperate.

The left and right guards of the East Palace led by Chen Ying were in front of the front with the cavalry of the personal guards, the right guard led the Xun Mansion, and the two Yi Mansions led by the left guards formed a three-layer encirclement circle, with only three or four hundred steps between each encirclement. As the time for the fight was too high, Shan Xiongxin was also quite familiar with some of Chen Ying's basic tactics.

Any independent military service has both disadvantages and advantages. For example, taking the long soldiers as an example, although the long soldiers can effectively restrain cavalry raids and have a very strong combat effectiveness, the long spear (Ge Spear Spear) can only be passively beaten against archers. If they are bullied by short soldiers and short soldiers, they will be very unfavorable.

However, the left and right guards of the East Palace of the Tang Dynasty led by Chen Ying, and the left and right guards fundamentally gave up the traditional single-square organization in regiments and adopted a mixed arrangement method, using fire as units. Whether it is bow and archery shooting or cavalry assault, they will flexibly form various targeted formations in units of fire. At first glance, it is very messy, making people think that this is a messy soldier pieced together, but only after the battle can we realize the strength of this formation method being in line with length and short, and complementing the distance and near. Such an efficient and layered formation method is also the key to both offense and defense and independent formation.

"Chen Ying must be removed as soon as possible!" Shan Xiongxin knew that looking at the entire Zheng State, no one could be Chen Ying's opponent, even if Wang Shichong was Wang Ying. Whether it was Qin Qiong or Cheng Zhijie, they could compete with Chen Ying on the horse, but they could not compete with Chen Ying on the battlefield. At this time, Chen Ying had only more than 20,000 troops. In the middle of the slums, Wang Ren, the famous general who had obtained Zheng State, was in great pain. Once Chen Ying made too much contribution in the future, he would be able to advance 100,000 troops in the east, and Zheng State in Luoyang would be unable to resist.

Therefore, Chen Ying must be eliminated, even if he dies, he must pull Chen Ying over the back. The first thing Shan Xiongxin needs to solve is the fear of the soldiers for the Tang army. He wants to use the despair in the ground of death to magnify the desire for survival and the desire to go home ten times and a hundred times, and finally overcome the fear of death!

Shan Xiongxin shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Brothers, we were defeated in this battle, and we were speechless. Xiongxin was the only one who was guilty of making achievements. Now we don't think about making achievements. I will take you home!"

"Go home!", Shan Xiongxin instantly resonated with the remaining soldiers. At this moment, talking about the country, king, honor, and title is useless. The only thing that can make these defeated soldiers unite is the only thing, that is, the thought of going home alive! This is the deepest obsession in every Zheng army soldier!

"But Chen Ying'er outside the city will not let us go home!" Shan Xiongxin's tone became sad and angry: "Since this way, we can only fight to the death."

The Zheng army soldiers, covered in blood and were depressed, looked bright and raised their arms and shouted: "Fight to the death, go home, fight to the death!"

The originally sluggish morale soared instantly.

The soldiers followed Shan Xiongxin and started an attack on Chen Ying.

At this moment, the Zheng army soldiers were as crazy as crazy.

At this moment, they had no idea what death was. Even if they were swords and guns, they were still brave and fearless, and they continued to die one after another.

Looking at the remnants of Zheng's army who were swarming in, Chen Ying still had a faint smile on his face and said, "Did you see it? This is what the military art says. If you throw it into the dead, you will survive, and you will be trapped in the dead, and you will be killed and you will be killed. Then you can win or lose!..."

At this moment, Chen Ying understood why Li Shimin wanted to kill Shan Xiongxin.

He has already seen Shan Xiongxin’s martial spirit. On the battlefield, this guy is a god of war.

At this moment, Chen Ying also learned about Shan Xiongxin's wisdom.

Being able to turn the world around and turn disadvantages into advantages in such a critical situation is a qualified general.
