Chapter 896
Also shocked were the three hundred Liao troops who formed a formation to guard the catapult. Although they were ordered to wait, they did not think that the Song army still had the courage to rush down the mountain to fight, so they were caught off guard by this. By the time they reacted, the Song army had almost rushed down the mountain.
"Stop them!" The commander here was Zhe Baili. While he shouted, he had already urged the horse to raise his spear and went forward. The other Liao soldiers were all filled with their spirits, shouting and rushing forward. It was just because they had a hasty response, and they were really compared by the Song army, with more people in terms of momentum.
These Song army that rushed down with Sun Tu were all veterans of the Qingzhou army. They were all elite soldiers who survived one after another. This time, they fought back, so they naturally fought bravely. They did not dare to hesitate at all, and used all their strengths. Almost everyone controlled the horse with their legs, freed up their hands, and steadily placed the arches of the divine arms in front of them, aiming at the Liao soldiers who had recoiled in front of them.
The moment they had just landed on the hill, more than a hundred sharp arrows had already rushed out and rushed straight to the enemy troops in front.
In addition to the long range and accurate accuracy of this divine arm bow, there is another powerful feature, that is, the speed of the arrows fired is much higher than that of ordinary crossbows. The two sides had almost flew to it in just a blink of an eye. The Liao soldiers who rushed to the front did not even lift their swords. The arrows had already arrived in the air, and the sound of puffing through their chests, and they took their bodies backwards and fell from their mounts.
In this round of shooting, dozens of people were caught in the arrow, which put a huge threat to the Liao soldiers. Even if Zhe Baili immediately pulled the horse and crossed the spear, he did not dare to rush over again. Only more than a dozen brave enough people continued to rush forward without caring and quickly rushed to the front of the Song army.
At this time, the Song Bing had abandoned the Divine Arm Bow that shot in the air. Although this bow has various advantages, it also has its shortcomings. It is very troublesome to pull the strings. At least it is extremely difficult to shoot the arrow on the horse's back. Ordinary soldiers naturally cannot take into account both. In order to kill the enemy, they can only throw the treasure bow directly, draw the sword in their hands, and try with all their strength.
Both sides immediately collided head-on, and they controlled their horses and waved their swords, gritted their teeth and roared. The Liao cavalry were all elites who had been through many battles. At this time, they still had the advantage of their psychology. Of course, they could not have any concerns. The sword roll had already slashed the enemy's neck. But the Song army's reaction was not slow. They were prepared and dodged sideways almost at the same time, avoiding the enemy's direct slash, and urged the horse to accelerate again. They ran over from the enemy's side and rushed straight to the enemy who had already stopped behind.
After the sword was lost, the Liao soldiers were also stunned and took it for granted. But at this time, the fatal flaws of only a dozen people charging forward were exposed. Because while they were withdrawing the swords, more Song soldiers had already rushed over, and they handed over the swords and guns at the same time. After slashing, they instantly killed more than ten people, and then were sprinted into the mud by the horse's hooves that were sprinting with all their might and died tragically.
All this happened in just a short moment, which made Zhe Baili quickly understand a truth. This Song army is much stronger than what he wanted, and must not be careless at all. At the same time, he also saw that the enemy had no bows and crossbows in his hands, so he no longer had to worry about this. He immediately rushed forward again, and swung his spear and stabbed the head of the Song general at the arrow of the team.
His eyesight was indeed good, and he found Sun Tu immediately. He also attacked Sun Tu with the strategy of capturing the thief first. However, his ability was obviously a little short of it. The spear came, which made Sun Tu frown slightly, and then the gun in his hand was also stabbed out simultaneously, but he ran towards the spear.
Just as the two sides confronted each other, the spear in his hand suddenly turned from a straight piercing into a diagonal pick, and then came first, hitting the most difficult point in the middle of the spear. The force was extremely strong, and he instantly beat the spear that had all his strength out of the slant, and could no longer pose a threat to Sun Tu's body.
However, the gun in his hand returned to the established route with just one bullet and stabbed the opponent's throat again. During this encounter, the gap in strength between the two sides was completely reflected, which made Zhe Baili shocked and tried his best to dodge, finally avoiding the blow of the throat. However, in this way, he could no longer be distracted from the spear, and Sun Tu had already reached the right person, and the two horses almost passed by, and the two were not even a single arm apart, but he was empty in the middle of the gate and completely lost.
Sun Tu also saw that this person was the commander of the Liao army blocking the catapult, so he was determined to take his life. At the moment when the two horses were intertwined, his wrists shook and his spear suddenly stabbed out again, attacking the enemy's lower abdomen. As long as he stabbed, even if he could not kill the opponent, he could still take him off the horse, causing hundreds of Liao soldiers in front of him to instantly become a leaderless state.
But just as the shot was about to hit, a sharp roar came forward, and a sharp arrow flew in time to capture Sun Tu's face. This made him feel trembling, knowing that Xiao Yanping took action.
Although the Song army came suddenly, Xiao Yanping's reaction was extremely rapid. Since he could not lead the army to kill for a while, he simply came to the scene himself. While rushing forward with a horse, he also rolled the arrow and recognized Sun Tu at a glance, and shot arrows to save Zhe Baili.
Sun Tu also pulled himself to protect himself in the blink of an eye. While twisting his body to dodge, the spear in his hand had been changed from straight to obliquely hit by him, just in time to face the arrow, and knocked it away with a sound. It was not until this time that he and Zhe Baili crossed over, and both sides collided with each other's follow-up troops.
At this time, Sun Tu no longer cared about what the battle behind would be like. He immediately bowed his hands again, clamped his legs and rushed towards the Liao soldiers in front of him like an arrow from a string. The Liao soldiers were all as fierce as wolves, waving weapons and rode their horses to usher in. However, their martial arts were too far from Sun Tu. As soon as they met, the spear in his hand had already burst out with spear shadows, covering the four or five people in front of him, and almost at the same time stabbed their throats and other vital points. These people failed to use their tricks and were all dismissed one after another.
Sun Tu's forward momentum did not slow down at all, and he continued to move forward. Instead, he was shocked by the Liao soldiers and his hands were just a pause. In this delay, he had already broken through their queue, and his spear kept stabbing and sweeping the strokes. He even swept over a dozen enemies again. He had broken through the obstacles and came directly to the row of catapults.
At this time, there was a sound of killing sounds from the rear, and there were still many screams mixed with. However, the two cavalrymen of Song and Liao finally collided head-on and started the most violent battle. But Sun Tu did not look back at the top of his eyes at this time, because he had more important things to deal with. After sweeping the spear and forcing the enemies who were still trying to come forward to block the enemy, he had already taken out the fire break, took the torch with him and quickly ignited it, leaned forward and rushed to the closest trencher.
The flames instantly ignited the trencher made of wood, spreading upwards, and it could be completely swallowed up soon. This action scared the Liao soldiers responsible for using the trencher and screamed, and they swung their swords to surround them again. At the same time, with a loud shout, the whizzing arrows flew in succession.
Xiao Yanping came along with the arrow! After just shooting arrows to save Zhe Baili, he hit his bow again. However, at this moment, Sun Tu was full of Liao soldiers, and everyone was constantly changing their positions. Even though he was as good as a god in his shooting skills, he was not sure that he could really win. He could only give up this idea temporarily and continue to rush to the horse.
When Sun Tu rushed to the catapult and ignited one of them, Xiao Yanping was even more annoyed. He was not worried that the Song army would turn the situation around, but was angry that the Song general could still have such a counterattack. Isn’t this embarrassing himself? You know, this is an errand that he finally asked for from Dashi Linya. It must be done well, and there must be no mistakes or regrets.
So at this time, Xiao Yanping completely ignored it. Even though there were still many Liao soldiers besieging Sun Tu, he shot the enemy without hesitation. Moreover, this time he used a series of beads to shoot quickly. Six or seven arrows flew over one after another, almost blocking Sun Tu's dodge space.
Sun Tu was shocked when he looked up and saw this scene. He thought he had achieved some success in archery skills, but only three consecutive arrows were only three. Compared with the Liao general on the opposite side, it was really far behind. And just looking at the momentum, the power of the arrow was no longer under the Divine Arm Bow, which shows how terrible this person's shooting skills were.
Not daring to be negligent, Sun Tu immediately dropped the torch and faced the arrow that was approaching the eyes with a gun. At the same time, his other hand was poked out like lightning, and he raised a Liao soldier beside him. With a loud shout, he directly used this person as a shield and waved to block in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, the pearl arrows arrived one after another, and all of them slammed into the unlucky Liao soldiers, causing them to let out only two screams and died on the spot. This time, the other Liao soldiers were scared back again, and Xiao Yanping, who had already jumped over their horses, could sweep past their heads. The long sword in his hand roared, slashing at Sun Tu's head with the force of Mount Tai: "Kill!"
Seeing this, Sun Tu was shocked and did not dare to neglect it. He greeted him with a gun. He just thought that he was killing his horse and retreated straight backwards. If it weren't for the abnormal horse under his crotch, he would have been so weak that he would have thrown Sun Tu out.
But at this time, Sun Tu's situation was also very bad. Not only did Xiao Yanping in front of him slam the horse and waved his sword again after stabilizing the horse's downward trend. The Liao soldiers around him had already gathered up the courage again, shouting and waving weapons to surround him.
Compared to him, the more dangerous ones were the Qingzhou soldiers who followed him down the mountain. Because at this time, they not only had to face the soldiers and horses under Zhe Baili who were coming to kill, but also thousands of Liao soldiers also siege from behind...
