Also shocked were the 300 Liao troops who were stationed in front of the trebuchet. Although they were ordered to wait, they did not think that the Song army had the courage to rush down the mountain and fight, so they were upset by this. They were caught off guard. By the time they reacted, Song Jun had almost rushed down the mountain.
"Stop them!" The commander here was none other than Zhe Baili. While shouting this, he already urged his horse to raise his spear and charged forward. The other Liao soldiers were all in high spirits, shouting and rushing forward. Just because they rushed to the battle, they were outnumbered by the Song army in terms of momentum.
These Song troops who followed Sun Tu down were all veterans of the Qingzhou Army. They were all elites who had survived the battles. This time they were fighting back with all their might. Naturally, they were all brave. They did not dare to hesitate at all and put all their energy into their bodies. All the solutions were displayed. Almost everyone controlled the horse with their legs, freed up their hands, and steadily held their arms in front of them, aiming at the Liao soldiers who were rushing forward.
The moment they descended the hill, more than a hundred sharp arrows flew out and struck the enemy in front.
In addition to its long range and accurate accuracy, this divine arm bow has another great feature: the arrows it shoots are much faster than ordinary crossbows. The distance of more than two hundred steps between the two sides was almost reached in the blink of an eye. The Liao soldiers who were rushing at the front didn't even lift their swords. The arrows had already arrived in the air, with a continuous pop, and penetrated. Their chests pushed their bodies backwards, falling off their mounts.
In just this round of shooting, dozens of people were hit by arrows and fell from their horses. This posed a great threat to the Liao soldiers. Even hundreds of miles away, they reined in their horses and spears in an instant and did not dare to charge forward. There were only more than ten people. Those who were brave enough and fearless continued to charge forward regardless of the situation, and soon reached the front of the Song army.
At this time, Song Bing had abandoned the God's Arm Bow that shot empty. Although this bow has many advantages, it also has its shortcomings, that is, it is very troublesome to pull the string, at least it is extremely difficult to open the bow and release the arrow on horseback. Difficult to do. Naturally, ordinary soldiers cannot take care of both. In order to kill the enemy, they can only drop their bows, draw their swords in their hands, and fight with all their strength.
The two sides immediately collided head-on, commanding their horses to swing their swords, gritting their teeth and roaring. The Liao Army cavalry are all elites who have experienced hundreds of battles. At this time, they still have a psychological advantage. Of course, they cannot have any worries. The sword roll has already slashed the enemy's neck. But Song Jun's reaction was not slow. They were well prepared and dodged sideways almost at the same time, avoiding the enemy's direct chop. They also accelerated their horses again and ran away from the enemy in one go. Passed over and rushed towards the enemy troops who had stopped in the rear.
After the sword failed, these Liao soldiers were also stunned, and they took it for granted and sheathed their swords. But at this time, their fatal flaw of having only a dozen people to charge forward was exposed. Because just as they were sheathing their knives, more Song soldiers had rushed over to kill them. Their swords and spears were handed over at the same time. With a stab, they killed these ten people in an instant, and then were severely trampled by the hooves of the charging horses. Falling into the mud, they all died miserably.
All this happened in just a short moment, and Zhe Baili quickly understood the truth. This Song army was much stronger than he wanted, so he must not be careless in the slightest. At the same time, he also saw that the enemy had no crossbows in his hands, so he no longer had to worry about this. He immediately urged his horse forward again, swung his spear and pierced the head of the Song general who was located at the arrow of the team.
.
His eyesight was really good, and he immediately found Sun Tu's location, and followed the strategy of catching the thief first and attacking the king. However, his ability was obviously still a bit lacking. The thrust of the spear only made Sun Tu frown slightly, and then he thrust out the gun in his hand at the same time, but he ran towards the spear.
At the moment when the two sides were fighting each other, the spear in his hand suddenly changed from a straight thrust to an angled thrust. With a snap, the spear came first and hit the middle part of the spear, where it is most difficult to exert force. The force of this blow was so great that the spear that had been thrown out hundreds of miles away was deflected diagonally, no longer posing a threat to Sun Tu's body.
However, the gun in his hand only took one bullet before it resumed its planned route and stabbed the opponent in the throat again. In this encounter, the difference in strength between the two sides was completely revealed, which also frightened Zhe Baili. He tried his best to lean up and dodge, and finally avoided the throat-breaking blow. But in this way, he could no longer distract himself from sheathing the spear, and Sun Tu was already close to him. The two horses almost missed each other, and the distance between them was less than an arm's length, but he had already hit the target. Empty, completely lost.
Sun Tu had also seen that this man was the commander of the Liao army blocking the trebuchet, so he also deliberately wanted to take his life. At the moment when the two horses crossed each other, with a flick of his wrist, the spear suddenly stabbed out again. , attacking the enemy's lower abdomen. As long as this stab hits, even if the opponent cannot be killed, he can still be dismounted, causing hundreds of Liao soldiers in front of him to become leaderless in an instant.
But just when the shot was about to hit, there was a sharp roar from the front, and a sharp arrow flew in time and hit Sun Tu's front door. This made his heart tremble, knowing that it was Xiao Yanping who took action.
Although the Song army arrived unexpectedly, Xiao Yanping's reaction was also extremely quick. Since we can't lead the army to kill him right away, we might as well end up in person. While the prancing horse was charging forward, he had already nocked the arrow and pinned it. He identified Sun Tu's location at a glance and fired the arrow to save Baili.
Sun Tu also drew up his moves to protect himself in the blink of an eye. While twisting to dodge, the spear in his hand had been switched from stabbing straight to diagonally. He was just in the path of the arrow and knocked it with a clang. fly. It was only then that he and Zhe Baili passed by each other, and both sides ran into each other's follow-up troops.
At this time, Sun Tu could no longer care about what would happen to the battle at the rear. He immediately shouted again, clamped his legs tightly on the horse's belly, and drove his horse like an arrow from the string, rushing towards the Liao soldiers in front. Those Liao soldiers were all as fierce as wolves, waving their weapons and riding horses to greet them. However, there was a huge gap between their martial arts and Sun Tu's. As soon as they met, the spear in his hand had already burst into flames, covering the four or five people in front of him, stabbing their throats, heart and other vital parts almost at the same time. These people were killed one after another before they could even use their tricks.
And Sun Tu's forward momentum has not slowed down at all, and is still moving forward. It actually frightened those Liao soldiers, and the movements of their hands were just a slap in the face. In just this delay, he had broken through their ranks. He kept prodding and sweeping with his spear, and once again knocked down more than a dozen enemies. He himself had broken through the obstacles and came directly to the row of trebuchets.
At this time, there was a killing sound from behind, mixed with many screams. However, the two cavalrymen of Song and Liao finally collided head-on and started the most brutal fight. But Sun Tu didn't even look back at this moment, because he had more important things to deal with.
After swiping his spear to push back those enemies who still wanted to step forward to obstruct him, he took out his torch, took the torch he carried with him and quickly lit it. Then he leaned forward and placed the torch on the nearest trebuchet. .
The flames instantly ignited the trebuchet made of wood, spreading upwards and looking like it would be completely swallowed up soon. This move also frightened the Liao soldiers who were responsible for using the trebuchets to scream, and they surrounded and killed them again with their swords. At the same time, with a loud shout, arrows flew in one after another.
Along with the arrow came Xiao Yanping! After releasing an arrow just now to save Zhe Baili, he placed an arrow on his bow again. However, at this moment, Sun Tu was surrounded by Liao soldiers, and everyone was constantly changing their positions. Even though he was an expert in shooting, he was not sure that he could really hit the target. He could only give up this idea temporarily and continue to charge forward. .
When Sun Tu rushed to the trebuchets and lit one of them on fire, Xiao Yanping became even more angry. He was not worried that the Song army would turn the tide of the battle, but he was angry that the Song general could still have such power to counterattack. Wouldn't this embarrass himself? You must know that this is a job that he finally got from Dashi Linya. He must do it perfectly without any mistakes or regrets.
So at this time, Xiao Yanping completely ignored him. Even though there were still many Liao soldiers surrounding Sun Tu, he did not hesitate to shoot at the enemy, and this time he used six or seven arrows in rapid succession. Arrows flew in one after another, almost blocking all Sun Tu's dodge space.
When Sun Tu raised his eyes and saw this scene, he was also frightened. He thought he had some success in archery, but he only had three arrows in a row. Compared with the Liao general opposite, he was really far behind. And just looking at the force of its attack, the arrow's power was no longer comparable to that of the God's Arm Bow, which shows how terrifying this man's shooting skills are.
Not daring to be careless again, Sun Tu immediately dropped the torch and held his gun to face the arrow that was already in front of him. At the same time, his other hand reached out like lightning and lifted up a Liao soldier beside him. stand up. Amidst the loud shouts, he directly used this as a shield and waved it in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, the volley of arrows came one after another, and with a continuous puff of sound, they all penetrated into the body of the unlucky Liao soldier, causing him to scream twice and he was killed on the spot. But this time, the other Liao soldiers were frightened and shrank back, allowing Xiao Yanping, who was already galloping on his horse, to pass over their heads. The long sword in his hand roared, and it struck Sun Tu directly with the force of Mount Tai. Head: "Kill!"
Sun Tu was shocked when he saw the menacing attack. He did not dare to be negligent and raised his gun to meet him. In an instant, he killed both men and horses and he drove him back. If it weren't for the abnormality of the horse under his crotch, I'm afraid that his hooves would have softened and Sun Tu would have been thrown away.
But at this time, Sun Tu's situation was also very bad. Not only did Xiao Yanping in front of him stabilize his horse's fall, he slapped his horse and attacked with his sword again. The Liao soldiers around him had also mustered up their courage again, shouting and waving weapons to surround them.
Compared to him, what was more dangerous were the Qingzhou soldiers who followed him down the mountain. Because at this time, not only did they have to face Zhe Baili's men and horses, who were coming to attack them, but there were also thousands of Liao soldiers who were also attacking from behind...
