Chapter 400 Breakthrough (2)
Everyone in Nanjing City knows that Xiao Jinde, the Privy Councilor of the Southern Court, has four parents and one adopted son, but in terms of bravery and bravery, even if he tied his four parents and children together, he would not be able to compare with his adopted son Xiao Yanping.
At this time, Xiao Yanping, who was chasing the Song and Liao coalition forces, showed his powerful side. He flew over a distance of more than 150 steps with just one arrow, shot through the "Yelu Xiongge" wearing hard leather armor, and shot him directly down from the fallen horse, which was so shocked that the Liao soldiers who were left to guard around him suddenly stopped.
Even Sun Tu was shocked when he heard the sharp sound of the arrow breaking through the air and turned around and saw that the substitute was killed and fell off the horse. The power of this arrow was probably almost as strong as three stones. In order to convert it to a hard bow of about 300 kilograms, the power of the Divine Arm Bow, which Da Song was proud of, was just like this. It was only possible to use the power of the opportunity to do it. However, the person behind him was completely arrow shot out by his own arm.
This arrow even shot through the chain mail, or even heavy armor. Sun Tu believed that if he was shot from the rear without any warning, he would be as serious as the substitute, at least seriously injured and fell off the horse! This made him suddenly feel one hundred and twenty minutes of caution, but he dared not slow down the speed of rushing forward.
Although the remaining Qingzhou troops also felt a little scared, Sun Tu continued to urge his horse to rush forward because he did not express his words. However, the Liao soldiers, after finding that their king was shot down, were to go over to rescue him quickly. They did not know that this person was a substitute, and the real Yelu Xiongge had already taken the opportunity to withdraw from the rear of the valley.
And just as they were slow, the bowstrings behind them kept roaring, and seven or eight particularly thick feather arrows were chasing after them, and in the blink of an eye it pierced through the torso of several Liao soldiers, making them scream and fall. At the same time, Xiao Yanping, who had just collected the bow, had already chased them with a knife. Just as the remaining people were roaring and raising their weapons to avenge the "king", a cold light appeared in his hand. None of these elite Liao soldiers could stop him, and all of them were slaughtered in their screams.
In just a moment, the Liao soldiers behind had not had time to arrive. Xiao Yanping, who was chasing the front, had already killed all the last dozen Liao soldiers. Then, his horse speed did not slow down, and he pursued the Song army in front again, and the big bow in his hand lit up again.
It was not until he ran out for a long time that the soldiers behind him barely arrived at the place where "Yelu Xiongge" was dismissed. Xiao Jinde was full of ecstasy at this time and quickly stopped the horse and asked someone to check the situation of "Yelu Xiongge". He wanted to witness the death of this terrible opponent with his own eyes. Compared to the Song people who fled for the desperate situation, he was more concerned about Yelu Xiongge's life and death. As long as he died, his plan would be half successful.
But as the subordinates went over and turned the body over. After seeing the torch that had just been lit, the smile on Xiao Jinde's face disappeared in an instant: "Fake..." In addition to disappointment, he immediately felt a little suspicious. If this person was fake, would there really be Yelu Xiongge in this team that broke through and fled? He was not stupid either. It was okay if he had been blinded by his ambition before, but now he noticed that there was a fraud in it, and he began to regret his reckless behavior this time. He should leave some people to guard Xifeng Valley, and even sent people to continue searching.
But now, the war and pursuit have passed for a while, and it may be too late to look back. But soon, Xiao Jinde suddenly bit his teeth and pointed to the two hundred cavalrymen beside him: "You continue to follow Ping'er to pursue them, and you must eliminate them all. Everyone else, go back!" After saying this, he suddenly turned his horse's head, whipped it hard on the horse's buttocks, and rushed back with hundreds of other people.
His actions made Sibuda's troops who were still following far behind more confused. They had already lost their backbone and didn't know what to do because they had lost their backbone and stopped completely, looking at Xiao Shumi hesitantly.
When Xiao Jinde came to them, he shouted loudly: "You follow me and go back, and then go to the important road leading to Nanjing. No matter who you meet, you will kill me without any doubt!"
His order was so murderous that he directly shocked the unprincipled Liao soldiers. In a daze, the thousands of soldiers continued to follow him and rush back according to his intentions, and the speed was no slower than when he was chasing him just now.
The number of Liao troops chasing behind him suddenly decreased, making the Song army, who were still running forward, slightly wider. But before they could really relax, sharp arrows broke through the air again in the rear, and immediately shot three soldiers at the last side. Until this time, the distance between them and Xiao Yanping was only within two hundred steps, and they were completely within the range of their bows and arrows, and they were almost shot without any slightest arrows.
When Sun Tu heard the screams and the sound of falling behind him, his heart was filled with blood and anger. These Qingzhou troops were carefully trained in the past or two years, and their relationship was even closer. Now listening to them being killed, this made his heart angry. Should he be beaten passively?
"No, we just ran away ten times the enemy was just now. But now, there are only two hundred Liao troops pursuing, but we still have..." Sun Tu looked around and felt even more nervous: "Forty or fifty people may not be their opponents!"
Since escaping only increased casualties, it would be better to give it a try! Sun Tu made a quick decision in his heart and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, my Qingzhou army has not been afraid of any enemies yet. Follow me to kill back!" As he spoke, his hands holding the reins shook violently, and his legs were also clamped with the horse's belly. He suddenly turned to the side with his war horse. With a loud shout, the people and horses drew a strange arc in a short distance, and turned their heads toward the pursuit of Liao soldiers.
The other Qingzhou troops naturally could not compare with Sun Tu's cavalry, but they all responded loudly and quickly made their mounts turn around. Following Sun Tu, who was leading the horse, retaliated against the Liao soldiers who were chasing him. Everyone distorted their faces and rushed forward with murderous intent. The Qingzhou troops, who had been furious for the past two days, just wanted to kill the enemy quickly, and even if they died in battle, they had no fear!
Their sudden rebang did surprise the Liao soldiers chasing them. Many people subconsciously stopped the horse and hurriedly drew their swords to fight. Xiao Yanping's face showed an excited light after seeing this scene. He shouted loudly, but he stopped using a bow. He raised a big knife and grabbed the war horse and rushed forward at full speed.
After just a moment, Sun Tu, who was already only 150 steps apart, collided head-on. The former had a gun like an angry dragon going out to sea, while the latter had a sword and a tiger as he fell from the mountain. In an instant, the sword and gun intersected, and the jingling bell rang and fought for more than ten moves.
Although Sun Tu's shooting skills were tricky and quick, he could not gain any advantage under this knife, which made him feel nervous. He originally thought that his martial arts could definitely kill the enemy's chief general, and then led his army to disrupt the Liao army with about 200 people, thus turning the situation around in one fell swoop, but the result was obviously beyond his expectations.
At this time, the Qingzhou army, who followed his footsteps to counterattack, collided with the Liao army, and shouting and weapons clashed, and screams suddenly rang out. The Qingzhou army was indeed brave enough. Even at this time, they still maintained the most favorable front arrow formation for charge, but the Liao soldiers in front of them were all elite, and the number was several times theirs. Although they paid some price, they still quickly disintegrated their rush and then cut and surrounded them, causing casualties to the Qingzhou soldiers to soon suffer.
When Sun Tu and Xiao Yanping fought quickly and turned around and fought for several rounds, the Song and Liao sides had fallen down more than 20 people. Although the Liao soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, they were still within an acceptable range, but the Qingzhou army was seriously injured and lost half of their troops in the first encounter.
After seeing this result, Sun Tu knew that his previous plan was completely wrong. After all, the elite Liao soldiers were different from the enemies they encountered in the past, and their chief general's martial arts were not as fast as him. If they continued to fight, they would probably have their entire army to be wiped out if they were insufficient.
No more entanglement... Sun Tu thought about it, and the spear in his hand suddenly shook, turning into a little cold light, covering Xiao Yanping. This move was extremely powerful, and even Xiao Yanping did not dare to be careless. He quickly pulled the horse back and took a few steps, and then waved the knife to block it.
But at this moment, Sun Tu suddenly stopped his move, and rode his horse into the slanting stabbing under the shaking of the reins. With the swing of the spear, he assassinated several Liao soldiers who trapped his subordinates, and then shouted loudly: "Let's go! Hey them for me!"
The remaining dozen Qingzhou troops immediately agreed, showing off the unused crossbow, and shot at the head and face of the Liao people who were completely unprepared. After the attack, although they used the crossbow once or twice, they were reserved in the end, just waiting to use it as a life-saving killer. Moreover, this crossbow machine is more complicated than a bow and arrow, and the rain did not have much impact on the crossbow strings, and it actually exerted great lethality at this moment.
Now, the Liao people were in trouble. When facing the rapid five-arrow continuous firing, even the exquisite riding technique was difficult to resist dodge. The dozens of Liao soldiers who were blocking Sun Tu and the others screamed one after another, almost all of them were dropped, allowing them to break out of their blood again and continue to rush westward to escape.
Xiao Yanping was also furious at this time. He was about to raise his bow and attack Sun Tu, but the latter suddenly turned around like a long eye on his head, raised the unused crossbow in his hand, and fired the five arrows in a row against this powerful enemy.
Within thirty steps, the power of the crossbow was quite terrifying. Even Xiao Yanping could only dodge the longbow and avoid the parry, but he was still shot by an arrow on his shoulder. Taking this opportunity, Sun Tu quickly distanced him. Moreover, when he ran away this time, he deliberately took the zizi route so that the other party could not easily aim.
Once again, Sun Tu led his troops to break through successfully, but there were only twelve followers left...
