Seeing that Sun Tu and others actually broke out of the encirclement again and killed many of their subordinates, Xiao Yanping became even more angry and shouted angrily, urging the remaining soldiers to follow him and continue the pursuit. At the same time, he did not use any Proficient in Chinese, he yelled forward: "Song generals have a common name!" He wanted to know the exact identity of this Song general who could compete with him.
Sun Tu, who was constantly charging forward with his horse, was stunned for a moment when he heard the roar, and then shouted back: "Qingzhou Sun Tu, what about you?"
"Nanjing Xiao Yanping!" While announcing his name, Xiao Yanping whipped the horse's buttocks again, causing the crimson horse under his crotch to accelerate suddenly after Herod neighed, and pulled in the blink of an eye. After approaching about twenty steps, they were only a hundred and fifty 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 from the string again, but a large amount of blood also flowed out of Xiao Yanping's shoulder. The arrow wound that had no time to deal with was already more serious, but at this moment, he could not care about it at all. I just wanted to catch up with and kill this powerful enemy as soon as possible, so I followed up with the second arrow, and it was actually a rapid succession of shots.
After hearing the sharp sound of breaking through the air behind his head, Sun Tu immediately turned over and lowered himself, and at the same time he quickly picked up the gun in his hand. Thanks to his quick enough movements, the moment the spear was lifted back, the sharp arrow arrived just in time. There was a loud sound, changing the momentum of the heavy arrow, causing it to fly over his head. And passed.
But just because he blocked the arrow with his hand this time, Sun Tu's horse speed instantly slowed down a few beats, and the distance between him and Xiao Yanping became even closer. However, two consecutive arrows with a louder sound were already chasing after him. . After experiencing the powerful force attached to the opponent's arrows, Sun Tu did not dare to slack off at all. While dodging, he swung his gun and fired. Finally, he knocked away all three arrows that came in a row, but there was such a delay. In the meantime, the enemy had caught up with him.
In fact, Xiao Yanping also knew that his volley of arrows could not hurt Sun Tu. He fired the arrows just now to delay Sun Tu's escape. Now that he caught up with him, he roared again and the broadsword roared towards him, slashing straight at him. Sun Tu's shoulders and upper body.
Sun Tu had no intention of entangling with him. After all, the enemy was powerful and if he dragged on any longer, he would be killed in vain. Therefore, he had no intention of blocking. He just clamped the horse's belly fiercely, gave a clear shout, and urged the horse to rush forward. It was only then that he fully utilized the speed of the imperial green horse under his crotch. Xiao Yanping, who had been chasing him back and forth, was actually separated by about two feet by him in the blink of an eye. , so that the sword swung with all his strength fell into the air.
Not only that, because of this sudden change, Xiao Yanping, a master, was suddenly startled. After swiping the knife, he forgot to retract it and continued to chase. This allowed Sun Tu to seize the opportunity and gallop again, catching up with his subordinates who had just obeyed his instructions without stopping to help in the battle.
In fact, Sun Tu did not let the green horse run at full speed during the escape, otherwise he would have been several miles away from the enemy. Therefore, it is better to consider the overall situation. After all, he is not a selfish person who only cares about one person's escape. I just didn't expect that this hidden clumsiness actually played some role at this critical moment.
After this great opportunity was missed again, Xiao Yanping became even more furious. He shouted loudly and urged his horses to pursue him fiercely. However, the Liao soldiers under him were felled by the enemy.
At the very end, it was almost a mile or two away. Obviously, the horses of these ordinary cavalry were still not comparable to Xiao Yanping's, but his horses were also exhausted, so they allowed Sun Tu and the others to escape from the sword several times.
Just when no matter how he chased him, the distance between the two sides could not be closed, and no matter how much arrows he fired, he might not pose much of a threat to Sun Tu, Xiao Yanping suddenly felt something in his heart, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Sun Tu's choice just now gave him an extremely important reminder. If you want to slow down his escape, you don't have to start with him. You can start elsewhere.
As his mind changed, he drew the bow again, but this time the arrow flew towards a Song Army soldier in front. The man's skill was naturally far inferior to that of Sun Tu. He was hit by an arrow immediately and fell off his horse with a scream.
And at the moment when everyone's hearts were shocked and their expressions changed dramatically, the bowstrings from behind sounded continuously, and several sharp arrows struck through the air one after another. Even though the soldiers tried their best to dodge, they were still hit by the sharp arrows and fell off their horses.
As a result, Sun Tu's heart suddenly tightened, and his horse speed also slowed down. He knew that the other party had seen through his subordinate brothers who had been fighting with him until now!
Just then, Sun Tu took the risk of being dragged down by Xiao Yanping, and faced with the risk of being surrounded and killed by hundreds of Liao soldiers, but he refused to let others stay with him for a while, just so that the few remaining brothers could save their lives. But now, Xiao Yanping regards them as bargaining chips to hold Sun Tu back. As long as you continue to escape, these people will become his targets until they are all shot!
At this time, Sun Tu seemed to have no choice, either to escape regardless of the casualties of his men, or to join them in dealing with the life-threatening arrows behind him. Of course, he would only choose the latter. He immediately slowed down his horse, held the gun in both hands, and was determined to fight the enemy to the death.
But at this moment, the seven or eight surviving subordinates beside him stopped their horses first and quickly shouted: "Captain, the low-level officials can no longer kill the enemy with you. Please take care of yourself and be sure to stay alive." Go back to the Song Dynasty, go back to Qingzhou!" The moment they said these words, these Qingzhou Army soldiers quickly turned their horses' heads and rushed towards Xiao Yanping resolutely without any hesitation.
Knowing that they had become a burden to Sun Tu and that they could not escape as long as they were still with Sun Tu, they did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives in exchange for Sun Dujian's safe escape. Because they all know that for Qingzhou and the Song Dynasty, no matter how many soldiers like them are, they are not as important as a Sun Dujian; moreover, they are full of gratitude and respect for Sun Tu, and do not want him to be dismissed like this. The Liao people were killed here!
It's worth it to exchange our lives for the governor to leave safely!
With such a determined heart, they bravely faced the murderous Xiao Yanping. A moment later, the two sides collided with each other, and there was a roar, and blood filled the sky. These elite members of the Qingzhou army were no match for the powerful Liao general. Three of them had their heads missing after just one encounter. Just as the others passed by them, more than a hundred Liao cavalry chasing from behind also arrived, and they were immediately swallowed up in the torrent of cavalry...
But their sacrifice was still valuable after all. During this blockage, Sun Tu had already rushed forward a hundred steps away. His body was shaking,
His eyes were red, as if liquid was about to burst out of them. But Sun Tu still didn't let the horse pee out. He knew very well that now was not the time to be sad, let alone the time to mess up his mind.
When these subordinates risked their lives to fulfill themselves, Sun Tu had already made a decision in an instant. For the sake of the future and their affection, he decided to survive and live at all costs!
So even though the screams of his subordinates who had fought side by side for the past two years kept coming from behind, Sun Tu did not look back. Instead, he hit the horse with all his strength, urging the green horse to gallop forward at the fastest speed, carrying the load. Trying to escape the opponent's pursuit as quickly as possible.
This time, Sun Tu had no burden at all. Alone, he could make the horse kick and run wildly, which also made the distance between him and the enemy wider and wider. Even though the sky was completely bright at this time, Xiao Yanping, who was chasing at the front, could hardly see him. The horse given by the emperor is indeed extraordinary!
Xiao Yanping's face also became extremely gloomy. If Sun Tu really escaped from his eyes, his face would be disgraced. More importantly, this person would definitely become a big problem in the future! From the previous confrontation, especially his last choice, Xiao Yanping could clearly feel that Sun Tu was an extremely formidable opponent. He was highly skilled in martial arts, resourceful, and decisive enough to choose to leave at that moment. Rather than turning around and fighting to the death with his comrades.
It's scary for a general to be able to hold it, but it's a greater threat to be able to let it go.
Therefore, even if Sun Tu ran further and further away, Xiao Yanping had no intention of giving up the pursuit and continued to pursue him with all his strength. And after another pursuit, a cold smile suddenly appeared on his gloomy face: "Sun Tu, this time God is going to kill you!"
At the same time, Sun Tu, who was constantly beating the horse at full speed, also changed his expression. Then he pulled the reins sharply, completely slowing down his forward speed. Just because in front of him was no longer a plain road, but a turbulent river, and the road ahead was suddenly interrupted!
what to do? Sun Tu Zhuma looked confused. But before he had an idea, the sound of horse hooves chasing him from behind was once again like a reminder. Xiao Yanping saw Sun Tu stopped by the river from a distance, and laughed loudly: "Sun Tu, let's see, you are still going Where are you running?" As he spoke, he bent his bow and arrow again, and shot three arrows directly at Sun Tu's crotch horse.
At this time, Sun Tu also had a trace of determination on his face. The moment before the arrow was shot, he had taken off his stirrups, pressed his hand on the saddle violently, and he was already jumping straight towards him like an arrow from the string. The big river ahead. Since the way forward is blocked and there are pursuers behind, the only option is to escape into the water.
After seeing his move, Xiao Yanping was also anxious and hurriedly urged his horse to charge forward again. When he was halfway, several more sharp arrows shot at him, covering all the space where Sun Tu was.
Sun Tu, who was in mid-air, shouted loudly, holding the knife in his hand, and while falling into the water, he continued to draw the knife and strike, finally knocking away almost all the arrows that were approaching him. Only a sharp arrow with a tricky angle shot into his shoulder from an angle, causing him to groan and hit the water heavily.
At this time, Xiao Yanping had arrived on flying horse. Completely ignoring the burst wound on his shoulder and bleeding profusely, he shot three arrows straight at Sun Tu who had fallen into the water. In the blink of an eye, the sharp arrow entered the water, and then a large ball of blood surfaced...
