In the vast legends of the rivers and lakes, the story of Liangshanbo is like a heroic epic that will never end. Among these legends, the fate of two heroes is particularly striking, they are the two unlucky heroes of Liangshanbo - Suo Chao and Hao Siwen. Suo Chao, one of the Tiangang stars, is known for being a pioneer, and Hao Siwen, one of the earth's evil stars, is known as "Jing Mu Qian".
Their story, from their debut to their death in battle, seems to be doomed to a lifetime of ups and downs and setbacks. Among the many heroes in Liangshanbo, Suo Chao and Hao Siwen's martial arts are not inferior to anyone. Suo Chao's spear and Hao Siwen's knife were once famous in the rivers and lakes.
However, fate always seems to play a big joke on them, and whenever the drums of war are beating, whenever the dust is flying, they are always the first to rush to the front line, and they are always the first to suffer defeat. Their impatience and recklessness have become an inescapable shadow in their fate.
Suo Chao: The tragedy of the pioneer
The image of Suo Chao in "Water Margin" is a brave but reckless warrior. In the battle of the Daimyo's Mansion, his duel with Qin Ming became an important moment in his combat career. On the battlefield, the two armies confronted each other, Suo Chao was wearing iron armor, holding a spear, the sound of horses' hooves resounded through the battlefield, and his eyes flashed with the desire to fight.
Qin Ming, as a fierce general among the heroes of Liangshan, stood in front of the formation, burly, holding an iron rod in his hand, his eyes were like torches, looking at Suo Chao who was rushing forward. The atmosphere between the two was tense and full of hostility, and the soldiers around them held their breath as they waited for this heroic showdown.
However, at this critical moment, Liangshan shooter Han Tao quietly lurked to the side, he adjusted the angle of his bow and arrows, and aimed at Suo Chao, who was rushing to the front. Han Tao relaxed the bowstring in his hand, and an arrow flew out, heading straight for Suo Chao. The arrow cut an arc through the air and shot at Suo Chao with lightning speed.
Suo Chao was about to raise his spear to charge, but suddenly felt a sharp pain, and the arrow had pierced deep into his shoulder. He stumbled and nearly fell off his horse, his face in pain. When the soldiers on the battlefield saw this, they were in an uproar. Seeing this, Qin Ming couldn't help frowning and felt a hint of surprise.
Suo Chaoqiang endured the pain and wanted to continue fighting, but the injury made him unable to move, so he could only be helped off the war horse by his subordinates and withdrew from this duel. His bravery and impulsiveness seemed a little weak at this moment, while his opponent, Qin Ming, remained silent because of this unreal duel.
Suo Chao's subordinates helped him aside and treated his wounds urgently. Suo Chao clenched his teeth, his face was full of anger and unwillingness, he looked at the enemy army in the distance, and a trace of determination for revenge flashed in his eyes. And Qin Ming watched this scene from afar, although he had the desire to fight in his heart, he also understood the impermanence and cruelty on the battlefield.
For Suo Chao, this battle was not only a physical injury, but also a blow to his brave character. Although his name as a pioneer represents bravery, in such a battlefield, without the courage of resourcefulness, it can often only become a senseless sacrifice.
Stone Breaker Hero: Suo Chao's repeated failures
In the battle for Dongchangfu, Suo Chao once again showed his vanguard nature. To the sound of war drums, Suo Chao was dressed in battle armor and brandished a spear, leading a group of soldiers to charge the enemy formation. His eyes gleamed with battle, as if eager to prove himself through this battle.
In front of the strong defensive line of the Liangshan army, Zhang Qing and his troops were waiting for Suo Chao's arrival. Zhang Qing held the big bow in his hand, and his gaze was firmly fixed on Suo Chao, who was rapidly approaching. On the battlefield, the rain of arrows was like weaving, the sword light and sword shadow, Suo Chao showed his bravery in the charge.
Suo Chao took the lead and rushed into the enemy formation. However, in the midst of this tense and fierce battle, Zhang Qing calmly pulled the bowstring, and a flying stone shot at Suo Chao with unmistakable accuracy. The flying stone streaked across the sky, and with an unstoppable force, it went straight to Suo Chao.
The flying stone struck Suo Chao in the head violently. Suo Chao's body shook, and he felt unprecedented pain. Blood poured out of his head and dripped onto the cold and hard armor. Suo Chao staggered and almost fell off his horse.
Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers stepped forward to support him, but Suo Chao waved his hand to signal them to step back, and he endured the severe pain and tried to continue the fight. However, his body did not obey him, and he felt weaker than ever.
When the enemy saw this, their morale was greatly boosted. They took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and Suo Chao's troops began to gradually retreat. Suo Chao barely held on, trying to organize a counterattack, but his injuries had made it impossible for him to fight anymore.
In the end, Suo Chao reluctantly ordered a retreat. He was supported by his subordinates and withdrew from the battlefield in embarrassment. Blood was pouring from his head, and the pain was palpable. Suo Chao's subordinates were full of worry in their eyes, and they quickly sent him back to their headquarters for emergency treatment.
This battle was a heavy blow to Suo Chao. His courage and recklessness made him brave on the battlefield, but it also led to repeated defeats. This defeat left him seriously injured, and he had to temporarily leave the battlefield and return to the camp to recuperate.
The price of acute sub-species
In the campaign against Fangla, Suo Chao once again showed his vanguard character. Dressed in armor, with a spear in hand, and riding a warhorse, he charged bravely on the battlefield. His gaze was firm, as if he wanted to use his courage and strength to break through all obstacles.
In the Fang La army, Shi Bao, as a cunning and brave general, is quietly arranging his schemes. Shi Bao held a huge meteor hammer in his hand, his eyes flashing with a sly light, waiting for Suo Chao's arrival. Shi Bao knew Suo Chao's brave and impulsive character, so he deliberately set a trap, preparing to use Suo Chao's impulse to capture him in one fell swoop.
On the battlefield, Suo Chao led a group of soldiers to rush to Shi Bao's location. Without hesitation, he rushed into the ambush circle set by Shi Bao. Seeing this, Shi Bao secretly sneered, and he waved the meteor hammer in his hand, ready to launch a fatal blow at Suo Chao.
At this critical moment, Shi Bao slammed out the meteor hammer. The Meteor Hammer drew an astonishing arc in the air, striking at Suo Chao with lightning speed. Suo Chao was about to swing his spear to fight, but he didn't expect Shi Bao's meteor hammer to be so ferocious.
The meteor hammer hit Suo Chao hard, and the huge impact made him lose his combat effectiveness in an instant. Suo Chao's body fell to the ground heavily, and the power of the meteor hammer made it impossible for him to stand up again. When the soldiers on the battlefield saw this scene, they were in an uproar.
Seeing this, Shi Bao immediately commanded the soldiers to besiege Suo Chao's troops. Seeing that the main general was wounded, Suo Chao's soldiers greatly reduced their morale and began to gradually lose their resistance. Shi Bao took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack, and Suo Chao's troops fell into chaos.
Suo Chao lay on the ground, powerlessly watching his soldiers being defeated, his body was no longer able to move, and he could only watch the reversal of the tide of battle. Shi Bao sneered and walked towards Suo Chao, the meteor hammer in his hand was still stained with Suo Chao's blood.
In the end, Suo Chao died in this battle. His troops were routed, and his body was dragged away by the enemy. Suo Chao's death became the tragic end of his life of brave but reckless actions. His character traits, although he showed his heroic side on the battlefield, eventually became the shackles of his fate.
Hao Siwen: Jing Muqian's bad luck
In "Water Margin", Hao Siwen, as the role of "Jing Mu Qian", his fate always seems to be accompanied by misfortune. In the battle with Hu Sanniang, Hao Siwen was fully armed, holding a spear, and walked into the battlefield with confidence. His outfit was majestic, and he looked ready for a fierce showdown.
Hu Sanniang, as a female general in Liangshanbo, is also extraordinary in combat. She was holding two knives, her eyes were sharp, and she was not afraid when facing Hao Siwen. On the battlefield, the two were dozens of paces apart, confronting each other nervously.
At the beginning of the battle, Hao Siwen roared loudly and rushed towards Hu Sanniang with a gun. He's moving fast and seems to want to win with one blow. However, Hu Sanniang was agile and easily dodged Hao Siwen's attack and quickly counterattacked.
Hu Sanniang's twin knives slashed through the air like lightning, hitting Hao Siwen's weapon with unmistakable accuracy. Hao Siwen's spear was knocked away, and he looked at the empty weapon in his hand in shock. In this brief shock, Hu Sanniang took the opportunity to get close and subdued Hao Siwen in one fell swoop.
This scene is quite comical on the battlefield. Hao Siwen was still full of confidence just now, and was easily subdued by Hu Sanniang in an instant, which surprised the soldiers watching the battle. After Hao Siwen was captured, laughter rang out on the battlefield.
Next, in the Battle of Lingzhou, Hao Siwen tried to wash away his previous shame. Armed again, he led a force against the enemy. This time his opponents are Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui, both of whom are also good men.
Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui stood on the battlefield, they fought side by side, full of tacit understanding. Hao Siwen led the soldiers to charge, trying to overwhelm the opponent with a strong force. However, Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui showed more sophisticated tactics.
During the battle, Hao Siwen brandished his spear and shouted loudly, trying to break the enemy position. Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui cooperated with each other, attacking and defending, completely controlling the rhythm of the battlefield. Hao Siwen gradually felt powerless, and his offensive was completely defused.
In the end, Hao Siwen was defeated again in the battle with Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui. His soldiers were routed, and he himself was surrounded by the enemy. Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Hao Siwen reluctantly surrendered. Hao Siwen's battle experience made him an unlucky and limited character in "Water Margin".
Tragic ending: Hao Siwen's fate
In the process of conquering Fangla, Hao Siwen and Xu Ning were responsible for patrol tasks together. Dressed in armor and armed with weapons, they stood guard around the camp. As night fell, the figures of the two in the moonlight looked particularly alert.
This patrol is an opportunity for Hao Siwen, who hopes to make up for his previous failures through this mission. However, things didn't go his way. During the patrol, he and Xu Ning accidentally approached the enemy's territory.
Fang La's army set up an ambush on the city wall, and they quietly observed the movement on the periphery. When Hao Siwen and Xu Ning unknowingly approached the city wall, Fang La's army suddenly attacked.
The sudden appearance of the ambush caught Hao Siwen and Xu Ning off guard. The enemy's arrow rain poured down like a torrential rain, and Hao Siwen and Xu Ning resisted desperately, but they were unable to do so after all. Hao Siwen was caught by the enemy in the chaos, while Xu Ning barely escaped.
After Hao Siwen was captured, he was subjected to harsh treatment. He was tied up in an enemy camp, mortally wounded, and faced taunts and insults from his enemies. Fang La's soldiers ridiculed him, mocking him for his failure and incompetence on the battlefield.
During the days of captivity, Hao Siwen suffered greatly. His wounds were not properly treated and his body was getting weaker. Even then, he was forced to endure torture and humiliation from his enemies.
In the end, Hao Siwen ended his life in pain and humiliation. His death was the inevitable result of his failures and wrong decisions in the battles of his life. His fate, from the very beginning, seemed to have doomed him to misfortune.
Hao Siwen's fate is not only a reflection of his personal strength, but also reflects the diversity and complexity of the fate of the characters in "Water Margin". His death is the inevitable result of a series of failures and wrong decisions, and it is also the final confirmation of his nickname "Jing Mu Qian".
