Chapter 53: Great defeat, Shan Xiongxin’s death wish
Qin Hao's original intention of asking Qin Yong Yue Fei to assist Zhang Liao in charging was not actually to use the three men as "arrows" to break up the barracks. The purpose of sending three generals was just to block the generals sent to intercept by the other side.
After all, Pojunying has elites, but they are only soldiers. Against powerful generals such as Shan Xiongxin, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Qin Hao does not want the precious Pojunying soldiers to be damaged in such a meaningless fight, so he sends Qin Yong Yue Fei came to escort him.
After all, the gap in combat power between the soldiers on both sides is too big. If the opponent does not have a strong general to intercept them, the charging barracks will not need arrows at all. Not to mention that the Wang Army, which has insufficient training and equipment, cannot stop it. Even most armies in this era cannot stop it. , so that Qin Yong, Yue Fei and others were almost reduced to spectators in this operation. Even Zhang Liao only directed and did not do much himself.
On the battlefield, the trapped camp faced the siege of thousands of people, but it remained calm in the face of danger, defending and counterattacking at the same time, with extremely low damage to itself. In Gao Shun's hands, formation battle became an extremely gorgeous art that could not be broken no matter how the opponent attacked. The defense of the trapped camp.
In the broken military camp, they just rushed and killed. Everywhere they went, people and animals were everywhere, leaving no one alive, and not even a complete corpse could be seen.
Qin Hao, who was in the rear, saw that the broken camp had dragged down all the enemy troops. During the back and forth charge of the broken camp, the enemy's formation had dispersed, their morale had been drained, their combat power had been reduced to the minimum, and the time for a decisive battle had arrived.
Riding a snow dragon pony to the 1,700 defenders who had been recharging their strength, Qin Hao raised his Nine Dragon Halberd high and shouted: "Brothers, although you are defenders, I believe in your determination to defend Yanmen." , definitely no worse than a soldier, let these traitors see today how powerful our Yanmen guards are, kill them!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" The remaining 1,700 guards all roared with red eyes.
Since the beginning of the war, the guards have been watching the Po Army "show off their might". They have long been unable to hold it in any longer. Today they want to let those soldiers know that Yanmen soldiers are selected by the guards. Therefore, the defenders are by no means inferior to the soldiers in battle.
Qin Hao jumped on his horse and raised his halberd, leading the 1,700 defenders to kill on the battlefield. The 18,000 soldiers and horses of the Wang family had already been trapped in the camp and caused chaos, and they were struggling to survive just by their numbers.
The 1,700 garrison led by Qin Hao became the last straw that broke the camel's back, directly overwhelming the Wang Army. With huge casualties, the Wang Army was finally defeated across the board. Not even gods could reverse the defeat!
"Run, the Yanmen Army is too strong, we can't win, ah!"
"Spare your life, I am from Yanmen, I still have a wife, children and mother at home, please spare my life!"...
The enemy soldiers screamed and begged for mercy one after another, but the Yanmen army, which was about to kill them, didn't care whether they were Yanmen people or not. They only knew that these people were traitors who betrayed their lord.
Yanmen finally lived a peaceful life for a few days under the rule of the lord, but as a Yanmen person, he actually joined the rebels. If such Yanmen people are not killed, what is the use of keeping them?
The Yanmen Army's merciless killings made the enemy completely frightened and even lost the courage to beg for mercy. They only knew how to run away at this time. All the rebels felt extremely regretful and wondered how they could believe Wang Shichong's evil deeds. Join the rebels!
Looking at the more than 10,000 defeated troops who had completely lost their courage, Qin Hao smiled and shouted: "The whole army is following closely behind. Once anyone is alone, kill them immediately. Drive these people towards the underworld!"
"Gao Shun's order!"
"Zhang Liao has an order!"
No one noticed that the tens of thousands of troops were chasing the Yanmen Army, and they all fled towards Yintuan City intentionally or unintentionally. But if the battle was lost, who would care about this? After all, they had nowhere to escape except Yintuan. .
Wang Xiong and other family leaders realized that the situation was not good and immediately ran towards Yinguan City. In their opinion, Yinguan City had high walls and thick walls, and there were two thousand defenders, so they might not be able to hold on.
Wang Shichong did not run away, but looked lost and suddenly burst into laughter.
"We lost. Twenty thousand versus three thousand actually lost, and we lost so completely, hahaha!"
In this battle, Wang Shichong used more than 20,000 troops to fight against Qin Hao's 3,000 troops, but was completely defeated. This was a huge blow to Wang Shichong, who was modest on the outside and arrogant on the inside.
Wang Renze glanced at the deserter who slipped away from him, then looked up at Wang Shichong, who was already a little crazy. After sighing, he advised: "Second uncle, let's retreat quickly before the enemy troops are killed." , If Yinguan City is not lost, we haven’t lost yet.”
When Wang Shichong heard this, he was like a drowning man grabbing the last life-saving straw. He said urgently: "Yes, we haven't lost yet. We have to retreat. We all retreat to the Yin Pavilion. Qin Hao only has three thousand troops and cannot attack the city. Where is Shan Xiongxin?" ?”
"The end will be here."
"With your five hundred soldiers, you must try your best to hold back the Yanmen Army and buy time for our army to gather up the defeated troops."
Shan Xiongxin was stunned when he heard this. An army of 20,000 people could not stop the opponent's 3,000 elite troops. Now he was asked to use 500 soldiers and horses to stop them. Was he being treated as an outcast?
However, Shan Xiongxin didn't say much, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "No!"
Wang Shichong was kind to Shan Xiongxin, and he did not dislike Shan Xiongxin's civilian background and married his daughter to Shan Xiongxin. Therefore, Shan Xiongxin would never disobey any of Wang Shichong's orders, even if it meant death. Now is the time for Shan Xiongxin to be loyal.
Wang Shichong naturally knew that by doing this, he was pushing his son-in-law into hell with his own hands, but now the only ones who have the ability to stop the Yanmen Army are Shan Xiongxin and Wang Renze.
Wang Renze is the only direct descendant of the Wang family who has few outstanding talents. Although Shan Xiongxin is the son-in-law of the Wang family, how can a son-in-law be as reliable as a descendant of his own clan?
After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Shichong immediately chose to abandon Shan Xiongxin.
Seeing that Shan Xiongxin agreed so readily, Wang Shichong grabbed Shan Xiongxin's hand and said with a guilty look on his face: "Xiongxin, you must come back alive. Yingying and your unborn child cannot live without you... ...If you really can’t kill him, you can surrender. With your abilities, you will definitely be put to good use in the Yanmen Army.”
Shan Xiongxin was very moved when he heard this at first, thinking that Yue Fei was really concerned about his safety. However, after hearing what happened next, Shan Xiong's confidence froze.
On the surface Wang Shichong was encouraging Shan Xiongxin with family affection, but in fact he was afraid that Shan Xiongxin would defect to the Yanmen Army. How could Shan Xiongxin not know the meaning behind his words?
Wang Shichong, you have underestimated me, Shan Xiongxin, after all!
Shan Xiongxin looked at Wang Shichong indifferently, sighed, and said calmly: "Don't worry, father-in-law, Xiongxin will never surrender."
When Wang Shichong heard this, he suddenly let out a sigh of relief. Of course he was afraid that Shan Xiongxin would surrender. After all, he had given up on Shan Xiongxin. If Shan Xiongxin surrendered under desperate circumstances, there seemed to be nothing unjustifiable.
However, Wang Shichong did not want Shan Xiongxin to defect to the Yanmen Army. After all, he knew Shan Xiongxin’s abilities best, and he had not fully developed them under his command. If he really defected to the Yanmen Army, it would definitely increase the strength of the Yanmen Army. This is Wang Shichong Don't want to see it.
That's why Wang Shichong used family affection to force Shan Xiongxin to express his stance, and Shan Xiongxin also personally promised not to surrender. Wang Shichong finally felt relieved. He knew that Shan Xiongxin, a man who made promises worth a thousand dollars, would never be different from what he said.
"After this battle, if I can't come back, you can persuade Yingying to remarry after the child is born!" Shan Xiongxin said lightly. Under the sun, Shan Xiongxin's figure looked so lonely.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shan Xiongxin led five hundred soldiers loyal to the Wang family, and went to break up Wang Shichong's rear without looking back. In this battle, he was the only one to face Qin Yong, who had not been defeated even by the combined efforts of three people. With Yue Fei and Zhang Liao Gao Shun, the outcome seems to be doomed.
"Young Master, look, Wang Shichong has left Shan Xiongxin behind!" Qin Yong, who returned to Qin Hao's side, pointed to Shan Xiongxin who was blocking the road ahead with five hundred troops.
Qin Hao thought for a while and said calmly: "Abandoning your son? Wang Shichong is so ruthless that he even gave up his son-in-law. Send an order to Zhang Liao to defeat them!"
Now that the situation is very good, Qin Hao doesn't want to waste too much time on Shan Xiongxin. Besides, Shan Xiongxin led 500 people to intercept the Yanmen Army who had already killed the red-eyes. He must have been determined to die, so he used infantry at this time. Confrontation is undoubtedly unwise, and using cavalry to fight quickly is the best strategy.
Compared with the newly recruited soldiers, the Wang family's private soldiers were much more powerful, but they were still unable to withstand the charge of 500 soldiers who broke through the barracks. The 500 dead soldiers were basically killed in one charge.
Although the five hundred dead soldiers only caused a few casualties to Pojun Camp, Shan Xiongxin alone killed more than a dozen knights of Pojun Camp, and as Shan Xiong's confidence and anger increased, the casualties in Pojun Camp continued to increase. .
When Zhang Liao saw that Shan Xiongxin was wreaking havoc in Pojun camp alone, and nearly twenty soldiers from Pojun camp died at the hands of Shan Xiongxin, he became furious and quickly swung his sword to kill Shan Xiongxin.
You must know that there are only 500 people in the camp, and the number of casualties so far in the battle is less than 20, but now more than 20 people have been killed by Shan Xiongxin alone. This is not bad, how can Zhang Liao endure it?
"Shan Xiongxin, don't bully the small with your big one, Zhang Liao will come and meet you!"
After Shan Xiongxin heard this, he also gave up killing the soldiers and came to fight Zhang Liao. In his opinion, his death was almost destined. No matter how many soldiers he killed before his death, it was meaningless. It was not as satisfying as killing an enemy general.
"Ding dong, Zhang Liao's skill sword will be activated, force 2, Zhang Liao's basic force 93, Qingtian Sickle Hook Knife force 1, surprise force 3, current force 99."
"Zhang Wenyuan?" Shan Xiongxin asked calmly after blocking Zhang Liao's full force with one blow.
"The traitor is not worthy of calling my name." Zhang Liao responded coldly.
"Haha, if I give you a few more years of training, you might cause some trouble for me, but now you are still a little greener." Shan Xiongxin smiled disdainfully, and then stabbed directly at Zhang Liao's mount. Zhang Liao saw this. Jing quickly rescued the horse.
"Ding dong, Shan Xiongxin's skill Brave is activated, his force is 3, Shan Xiongxin's basic force is 97, Langya's force is 1, and his current force is 101."
"Ding dong, Shan Xiongxin activates his hidden skill Death Will."
"Death Will: When faced with a desperate situation, the stronger the death wish in your heart, the stronger your combat power. Each time you activate the force 3, you can activate it up to three times."
"Ding dong, Shan Xiongxin's skill Death Will is activated, his force is 3, and his current force is 104."
