Chapter 124: A Pear Blossom Overshadows a Begonia
"What a bunch of Huns!"
Chen Ping was so angry that he vomited blood.
Liu Chang was also kneeling on the ground, sweating profusely.
They thought that since they had a secret agreement with the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu would not embarrass them. But who knew that the Xiongnu would never consider the credibility of the agreement? If they had credibility, why would they tear up the agreement again and again to invade the Longyan Dynasty?
They are facing a real tiger or wolf!
"Kill them! Don't panic, organize the formation and resist with all your might!"
Chen Ping shouted with a gloomy face.
However, the Longyan army was suddenly surrounded and was in chaos. A rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun, and many people were lost on the spot.
Fortunately, although the individual combat capability of the Longyan Dynasty was not as strong as that of the Xiongnu soldiers, they had strict military discipline and were able to enforce orders. The generals who led the team stabilized the situation at the first opportunity and began to resist the Xiongnu army in an orderly and rhythmic manner.
This is destined to be a war that will go down in history.
This is a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people.
This is destined to be a long battle, destined to cause great loss of life and rivers of blood. Tonight, there will be countless homeless souls floating in Rongshan Pass.
A real close combat.
A real white knife against a red knife, a meat knife against a steel knife, all kinds of knives, all kinds of crossbows, all kinds of attacks, and all kinds of defenses.
Zheng Yuxing finally came to Chen Ping in the crowd with Prince Xie Fang.
When the prince saw Chen Ping, his classmate from the Hanlin Academy, he burst into tears and hugged Chen Ping's thighs, "Chen Ping, save me!"
Chen Ping shook his head with a gloomy face.
Although he was much older than the prince, he entered the Imperial Academy at the age of 40, when the prince was only in his teens. Although they were classmates, Xie Fang was actually about the same age as his daughter.
"Don't worry, Prince. I will definitely ensure your safety!"
Chen Ping shouted.
“Okay, okay!”
Chen Ping also knew the situation was urgent, and quickly gave the order: "Pass the order down, everyone obey General Zheng's orders and fight to the death!"
"yes!"
At this time, who would dare to question Zheng Yuxing, and who would dare to lead the troops to do it themselves?
Xie Fang, Xie Ling, Prince Lu, and representatives of the Baiya Army also looked at Zheng Yuxing eagerly.
Zheng Yuxing sighed deeply.
If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?
If the military power of this army had been handed over to him earlier, the disaster would not have been so tragic, and he would not have been ambushed and bullied by the Huns.
Now the situation...
Even Zheng Yuxing felt a surge of despair in his heart.
The Longyan Dynasty was destined to end this game with the Hun army with a great defeat.
"Hahahaha, all right, fight to the death!"
But Zheng Yuxing, a general in his forties, soon came to his senses.
Since we have to fight to the death, then let's fight to the death. If I can die on the battlefield, I don't need to care about what others say after me! If I win today... He laughed bitterly, is it possible to win?
Zheng Yuxing joined the army at the age of 20 and had been fighting against the Huns for more than 20 years.
He knew the Huns and other barbarians very well.
The Xiongnu are definitely out in full force this time. They are planning something big, not just plundering! In fact, this will be the largest scale of Xiongnu's military operations against the Central Plains in history! From the costumes, it can be seen that the Eastern and Western Xiongnu have united together.
That grassland military advisor?
He smiled sadly.
Even though the Longyan Dynasty still has nearly 150,000 troops, they cannot withstand the charge of the 200,000-strong Hun army.
"Form a formation!"
"Crossbowmen's cross formation!"
"Swordsmen are called tiaodeng, and cavalrymen are called cavalry!"
"Keep the formation, surround!"
"Each type of troops, divide into fifty teams, and take turns to resist! Change every quarter of an hour!"
Zheng Yuxing was worthy of being Zheng Yuxing, and he immediately began to deploy his troops. Soon, these 150,000 people were tightly huddled together, but they were also well-balanced. The soldiers in the outer circle resisted the enemy's charge again and again. After a quarter of an hour, they rested and the soldiers behind them took over.
The shield soldiers were responsible for protecting the resting soldiers from the rain of arrows from the sky.
The Longyan army finally stabilized.
But Zheng Yuxing, with a stern face, understood that this was just a delaying tactic...
Yes.
No matter how tightly you hold together, no matter how you resist, at this time, you can only try to minimize the losses. There is no way to counterattack the Xiongnu. To put it simply, the 150,000 troops at this time are like fish on the chopping board, left to be slaughtered by the Xiongnu army.
They are so mobile that they can just fight and leave, and then the next batch will come.
As a result, even though the Longyan Dynasty had spearmen, they did not dare to launch a full-scale attack and could only passively defend.
The losses of the Longyan army were huge.
The Hun army was well-rested and even often laughed and mocked, in order to disrupt the morale of Long Yan's troops.
The battle between hundreds of thousands of troops is a grand scene. Because of the large base number, every charge is launched from all directions at the same time, and every battle will create many new corpses.
"Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer!"
"It's going to be dark soon!"
Zheng Yuxing could only pass on orders in this way to stabilize the morale of Long Yan's army.
Actually, haha, it’s dark?
With this rate of consumption, the Hun army will surely cause Long Yan's army to lose more than half of its troops before dark!
Half of 150,000!
That’s about 70,000 or 80,000!
By that time, Long Yan would only have 70,000 or 80,000 men left, and the battle would be truly lost, with no room for recovery.
unless……
Unless at this time, reinforcements from the Longyan Dynasty suddenly appear on the periphery.
But, is it possible?
Zheng Yuxing shook his head.
The battle is still going on.
Zheng Yuxing's defensive formation did have a certain effect, but it could only delay the death of Long Yan's army...
An hour later, almost everyone smelled the scent of despair.
Cheng Mu was on the observation tower, watching all this, and couldn't help but sigh: "Is the dignified Longyan Dynasty really so unbearable?"
"Military Advisor is mighty!"
"It's all thanks to the military advisor!"
Others immediately began to flatter him.
Cheng Mu laughed: "We should be able to go down now. I really want to see Chen Ping's expression at this time."
Several generals from the Xiongnu royal court followed Cheng Mu, riding in chariots, and slowly appeared on the battlefield. At this time, Cheng Mu looked like a winner, looking at the people here proudly.
Chen Ping watched from afar , jumping up and down and cursing: "Old man Cheng Mu, you are despicable and vulgar!"
Cheng Mu laughed loudly: "Master Chen, all is fair in war. You are such an adult, don't you understand?"
After saying this, he ignored Chen Ping and shouted loudly: "Surrender!"
"General Zheng, let your people lay down their weapons and surrender. Since we have been dealing with each other for so many years, I can spare your life! However, when I go to your Jinghua to negotiate, you must lead Cheng Mu's horse!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Huns burst into laughter and ridicule.
Zheng Yuxing laughed coldly: "Cheng Mu, are you worthy? I, Zheng Yuxing, can die in battle, but I will never be humiliated!"
“No, no, no!”
Crown Prince Xie Fang, however, jumped out and looked at Cheng Mu in a flattering manner: "Military Advisor Cheng, can you spare my life if you surrender? As long as you can guarantee it, we will surrender, really surrender!"
Hearing this, everyone became furious.
"Your Highness!"
"Are you still a man?"
"The battle is not over yet, we still have the strength to fight!"
"In our Longyan Dynasty, there has never been a general who surrendered since ancient times!"
Xie Fang, however, had a gloomy face: "Bullshit, if you keep the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. I am doing this for everyone's good! If you lose, you lose. Let's retreat for now and make plans later!"
The people on Long Yan's side were extremely furious when they heard this.
At this time, there are still 100,000 people here, and he can't help but surrender? Of course, surrender is also an option, but even if he surrenders, he will have to wait until the Hun army can no longer hold on, and then he can do his best to preserve Long Yan's dignity!
In future negotiations,
Not now!
Proposing surrender now will only greatly reduce the morale of the soldiers!
Cheng Mu looked at Xie Fang with disdain and laughed: "Of course, if you surrender, I can guarantee that you will not die!"
"Okay, okay, surrender quickly, and we won't fight anymore!"
Xie Fang jumped up happily.
Who wants to die when they can live? Anyway, even if he loses, he is still the crown prince! Even if he is no longer the crown prince, he is still a prince. If this war is lost, there are many people who will take the blame, and it will not affect him too much!
"you……"
Even Chen Ping couldn't help but be angry at this prince.
"General Zheng, General Zheng, shall we surrender?"
Xie Fang looked pleading.
Zheng Yuxing sighed, feeling sorry for the misfortune and angry at the lack of resistance. He could have held on for a while longer. In that case, although there would still be losses, it would have given the Longyan Dynasty some advantages in negotiations! But now that the prince has done this, maybe the Longyan Dynasty will have to pay more compensation to the Huns. Where will these compensations come from? In the end, there will be more people, even the people all over the world, who will suffer!
In contrast, Long Yan's soldiers would certainly be willing to make such a sacrifice.
War is the continuation of politics.
There are so many things before and after the war.
However, given the prince's attitude, what else can he do?
I can only surrender...
He looked up to the sky and cried out in grief.
A lifetime of fame will be ruined in an instant.
He was about to say the word "surrender".
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a roar that shook the earth came from the direction of Qingfeng Gorge.
"Reinforcements!"
"More reinforcements are coming!"
Someone exclaimed.
Zheng Yuxing also perked up and turned to look.
I saw a large army of tens of thousands of people wearing green military uniforms, carrying a battle flag with the word "Silver" embroidered on it, rushing towards this side like the wind.
The team is neat and uniform!
Soldiers, be in high spirits!
Even the footsteps were so orderly that it seemed as if the earth was resonating with them.
"Silver State soldiers?"
"Silver State soldiers!"
"We are saved!"
"kill!"
Silver State soldiers?
Zheng Yuxing stared blankly at a young man under the military flag with a faint smile on his face.
Even when facing an army of 200,000 Huns, there was no fear on his face.
Chen Ping also looked over with a dark face.
Crown Prince Xie Fang also looked at him in surprise.
The third prince, Xie Ling, was also looking at the man in white clothes holding a folding fan in his hand.
This is the young talent who is famous all over the world. He is very talented, handsome and unrestrained, and he is more outstanding than anyone else.
Mr. Liu, are you from Liuzhou?
