Chapter 401 Between life and death (1)
Seeing that Sun Tu and others broke out again and killed many subordinates, Xiao Yanping was even more annoyed and shouted angrily, urging the remaining soldiers to follow him and continue chasing forward. At the same time, he also shouted forward in unskilled Chinese: "Song General is a common name!" He wanted to know the exact identity of this Song army general who could compete with him.
Sun Tu, who was constantly rushing to the horse, was stunned when he heard the roar, and then replied loudly: "Sun Tu in Qingzhou, where are you?"
"Nanjing Xiao Yanping!" While reporting his name, Xiao Yanping whipped the horse's buttocks again, causing the red horse under his crotch to suddenly accelerate after Herodor neighing. He actually narrowed the distance by about twenty steps in the blink of an eye, only 150 steps away from Sun Tu and the others. Then he gritted his teeth, endured the pain, bent his bow and arrow again, and aimed at Sun Tu in the crowd.
With a muffled groan, the arrow flew out again, but a lot of blood flowed out of Xiao Yanping's shoulder. The arrow wound that had not been dealt with was already heavier. But at this moment, he didn't care about these things at all. He just wanted to catch up and kill this powerful enemy as soon as possible, so the second arrow followed and shot again, and it was a bead shot.
After hearing the sharp sound of breaking through the air behind his head, Sun Tu immediately turned over and lowered his head, and at the same time he also picked the gun quickly and then picked it. Fortunately, his movements were fast enough. The moment the spear was pulled back, the sharp arrow came just in time. A shock sound changed the powerful arrow, causing him to fly past his head.
But just because of this hand-blocking, Sun Tuma's speed was slowed down several times, which also narrowed the distance between him and Xiao Yanping. Then, two consecutive arrows with a louder sound were already chasing him. After experiencing the powerful force attached to the opponent's arrow, Sun Tu did not dare to slack off. While dodging, he swung his gun and finally knocked away all the three arrows that came from the beads. However, in just one delay, the enemy had already chased him.
In fact, Xiao Yanping also knew that his continuous pearl arrow could not hurt Sun Tu. He just fired the arrow just now just to delay Sun Tu's escape speed. Now that he caught up, he roared again, and the big sword had already roared horizontally, taking Sun Tu's shoulder and upper body.
Sun Tu was not interested in engaging with it. After all, the enemy was powerful, and if he dragged it down, he would only be killed in vain. Therefore, he had no intention of blocking the horse. He just grabbed the horse's belly and shouted, urging the horse to rush forward quickly. It was not until this time that he completely used the speed of the Imperial Green Chase Horse under his crotch. Xiao Yanping, who had originally chased him, was actually about two meters away by him in a flash. In this way, the knife he swung with all his strength fell into the space.
Not only that, because of this sudden change, Xiao Yanping, a master, was stunned. After swinging the knife, he forgot to recycle and continue to chase the horse. This made Sun Tu seize the opportunity, beat the horse again, and chased his subordinates who had just obeyed his wishes and had not stopped to assist in the battle.
In fact, during the escape, Sun Tu did not let the green horse run at full speed, otherwise he would have been away from the enemy for several miles. So, in this case, he was still considering the overall situation. After all, he was not a selfish person who only cared about escaping alone. He just didn't expect that this hidden clumsiness would really play a role at this critical moment.
After such a great opportunity, Xiao Yanping became more and more angry, shouting loudly, urging his horse to chase him, and the Liao soldiers under him were at the end, almost pulling them out for a mile or two. Obviously, the horses of these ordinary cavalry were still unable to compare with Xiao Yanping, but his horse was exhausted, so Sun Tu and the others escaped from the knife several times.
Just when he was not able to catch up with him, both sides could not get closer, and even if he shot an arrow, it might not be too threatening to Sun Tu, Xiao Yanping suddenly felt his heart moving, and a trace of fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Sun Tu's choice just now had given him an extremely critical reminder - if you want to slow down his escape, you don't have to start from him, you can start from elsewhere.
As his idea turned, he had already drawn the bow again, but this time the arrow flew towards a Song army soldier in front of him. The man's skills were naturally far inferior to Sun Tu. He immediately got caught in the arrow, screamed and fell off his horse.
Just as everyone was shocked and their faces changed drastically, the bowstrings behind had sounded continuously, and several sharp arrows broke through the air one after another. Even though the soldiers tried their best to dodge, they were still shot by sharp arrows and were all dismissed.
This made Sun Tu's heart suddenly tighten, and Ma Speed slowed down. He knew that the other party had seen through his weakness - those subordinate brothers who had been fighting with him until now!
Just now, Sun Tu risked being held back by Xiao Yanping, and then faced the risk of hundreds of Liao soldiers siege and killing, and refused to let others stay with him for a moment, just to allow the few remaining brothers to save their lives. But now, Xiao Yanping regarded them as bargaining chips to hold Sun Tu - as long as you continue to escape, these people will become his targets until they are shot and killed!
At this time, Sun Tu seemed to have no choice, either to escape without regard to the casualties of his subordinates, or to deal with the arrows behind him with them. Of course, he would only choose the latter, immediately slow down his horse speed, hold the gun in both hands, and make the determination to fight the enemy to a desperate battle.
But at this moment, the seven or eight surviving subordinates were still alive and stopped their horses and shouted quickly: "Master, the lowly officials can no longer kill the enemy with you. Please take care of yourself, and you must return to the Song Dynasty and Qingzhou!" The moment he left this sentence, these Qingzhou soldiers had quickly turned their horses without any hesitation, and rushed towards Xiao Yanping resolutely.
When they knew that they had become Sun Tu's burden and knew that as long as they were still in Sun Tu, they would not be able to escape from birth, they chose to sacrifice their lives in exchange for Sun Dujian's safety. Because they all knew very well that it was important for Qingzhou and Song Dynasty, how many soldiers like them could not match Sun Dujian; and they were even more grateful and respectful to Sun Tu, and they did not want him to be killed by the Liao people like this!
It’s worth leaving with our fate!
With such a decisive heart, they bravely faced Xiao Yanping, who was so murderous. After a while, the two sides had already collided with one place, and blood was everywhere in the sky with a squirting sound. These elite troops in the Qingzhou army were not the enemy of this Liao general. In just one encounter, three people had different bodies and heads. The others had just passed by him, and more than a hundred Liao cavalry chasing behind him also arrived, and immediately swallowed them up in the torrent of the cavalry...
But their sacrifices were still valuable after all. It was during this obstacle that Sun Tu had rushed forward a hundred steps away again. His body was trembling, his eyes were red, as if liquid was about to burst out. But Sun Tu still did not let the horse's urine flow out. He knew very well that this time was not the time to be sad, nor was it the time to mess up his mind.
When these subordinates died to fulfill themselves, Sun Tu made a decision in an instant - for the sake of the future and for their affection, he decided to survive and live without any effort!
So even though the screams of his subordinates who had fought side by side in the past two years kept coming from behind, Sun Tu did not look back and beat the horse with all his might, urging the green horse to gallop forward as fast as possible, carrying himself to escape the other party's pursuit as soon as possible.
This time, Sun Tu was completely out of burden. He was alone and could make the horse under his crotch run wildly, which also made the distance between him and the enemy farther and farther. Even if the sky was completely bright at this time, Xiao Yanping, who was chasing the front, could hardly see him. The imperial horse was indeed extraordinary!
Xiao Yanping's face also became extremely gloomy. If Sun Tu really escaped from his eyes, his face would be wiped out. What's more important is that this person will definitely be a big trouble in the future! From the fight just now, especially his final choice, Xiao Yanping could clearly feel that Sun Tu is an extremely terrible opponent. He is skilled in martial arts, full of wisdom, and his heart is decisive and ruthless enough to choose to leave at that moment instead of turning around and fighting with his comrades to the death.
Although it is terrible to be able to take on a general, it is a greater threat to let go.
So even though Sun Tu ran farther and farther, Xiao Yanping had no intention of giving up the pursuit and continued to chase with all his strength. After chasing him all the way, his originally gloomy face suddenly showed a cold smile: "Sun Tu, this time it's God to kill you!"
At the same time, Sun Tu, who was constantly racing, had his face changed, and then he pulled the reins suddenly, completely reducing the speed of his forward rushing. It was just because in front of him was no longer the Plain Avenue, but a turbulent river, and the road ahead suddenly broke!
What to do? Sun Tuzhuma's face showed a tangled look. But before he could have an idea, the sound of horse hooves chasing behind him had arrived again like a death talisman. Xiao Yanping saw Sun Tu stop by the river from afar and laughed: "Sun Tu, where are you running?" As he spoke, he bent his bow and arrows again, and three arrows took the horse under Sun Tu's crotch.
At this time, Sun Tu's face also had a trace of determination. Just as the arrow shot in front of him, he had already taken off the stirrups with his feet and pressed his hands on the saddle. The man had already rushed straight towards the river ahead like an arrow from a string. Since the road ahead was blocked and there were pursuers behind him, he had to choose to go into the water to escape.
After seeing his actions, Xiao Yanping was also anxious and quickly urged the horse to come again. Halfway through, several sharp arrows shot in succession, covering all the space where Sun Tu was.
Sun Tu, who was in mid-air, shouted loudly, pulled his knife in his hand, and continued to use his knife to make a call while falling into the water. Finally, he knocked almost all the arrows on his face away. Only one sharp arrow with a tricky angle shot into his shoulder from the slant, causing him to groan and smash it into the water.
