When the Liao people's sneak attack suddenly broke out, Sun Tu, who was still sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes. As he jumped to the ground, the sword on his waist was unsheathed, and he shouted loudly: "There are enemies." Attack!" Immediately woke up everyone in the camp.
Being in the wilderness, and already knowing that there might be enemies nearby, Sun Tu was always vigilant even when he was sleeping, so he reacted very quickly. When a Liao man stabbed him with a knife, he had already snatched the knife out of his hand. Hit the opponent's chest, knocking him down.
At the same time, there were screams all around. The soldiers who had been successfully attacked had been hit and fell one after another, and the Liao people quickly covered them from three sides, almost surrounding the entire camp. Xiao Yanping took the lead, his sword was like the wind, and with a few swipes he forced the two soldiers to scramble. The moment the flaw was revealed, they were killed on the spot. This turn of events frightened the Qingzhou Army, which had dispersed to rest, to quickly move towards Sun Tu's location.
Compared with the general Song army, the Qingzhou army was an elite that had been tempered by many wars. It was not completely disorganized when frightened, nor did it show any signs of fleeing. Instead, it formed a formation with its own general as the core to protect itself. Sun Tu also hurriedly retreated at this moment, shouting: "Defend in a circular formation, defend the enemy's offensive first!"
With the orders from him as the backbone, the soldiers reacted more freely. They immediately took up positions according to their own positions and guarded the surroundings tightly. With swords and guns waving side by side, they actually neutralized the fierce attack of the Liao people. Retreat, and then retreat a little further to widen the distance between you and the other party.
Although this circular defensive formation looks simple, its defensive power is anything but ordinary. Every soldier can assist each other and advance and retreat in sync, which is the best way to deal with enemies that are several times larger. However, this formation also has extremely high requirements for the soldiers. It cannot be achieved without unity and unity, because once anyone in the formation hesitates and cannot be rescued, the formation will have loopholes and then completely collapse. Only the Qingzhou Army, which has not slackened in training for many years and has developed an integrated body, can successfully form a formation in time at such a juncture.
Even Xiao Yanping's bravery had no good way to deal with this tightly guarded circular formation. He charged twice in a row, but not only did he get nothing, but he was almost injured by the Song army, which scared him so much that he quickly retreated. As for the other Liao soldiers, they suffered considerable damage, and in the end they had no choice but to retreat and form a formation around them. However, their formations were messy and uneven and could not be compared with the Song army.
The two sides were twenty or thirty steps apart, and there was a bonfire jumping and burning gently beside them, illuminating everyone's figures and faces in a bright and dark way, distorting them. But even so, they quickly saw each other's appearance. Sun Tu shrank his eyes and stared at Xiao Yanping's face: "It's you..."
Xiao Yanping also stared at him with anger in his heart. He really didn't expect that the sneak attack that he thought had more than 80% chance of winning would turn out like this. Although he had killed more than ten people, he still had a huge numerical advantage, but looking at it now, it seemed that he was at a disadvantage. It seems that I have underestimated this Song general named Sun Tu too much. No wonder he is regarded as a strong enemy by his master!
Xiao Yanping's judgment is not wrong. Don't look at it.
The number of people on Sun Tu's side was only 30% of theirs, but their combat power was really worthy of the remnants of them. But actually speaking, it was because Sun Tu did not bring other Song troops with him that they became more powerful. If there were other people here, the sneak attack just now would have completely disrupted the camp. By then, even if the Qingzhou Army wanted to form a formation to face the enemy, it would be difficult to form it quickly.
The more critical point lies in the Liao army itself, because they lack bows and crossbows. After losing this long-range strike method, facing such a defense, it is natural to feel like not knowing where to start. The strong attack just now has proved that they have no upper hand.
Sun Tu's eyes reflected the firelight beside him, and slowly turned into raging anger: "Okay, I was worried about not being able to avenge those brothers, but you came to the door yourself. Today I will let you pay with blood. , life for life! Change formation, sharp arrow formation!"
As he shouted loudly, the soldiers behind him quickly changed their formations without any slowness. Like an angry arrow leaving the string, he shouted, using Sun Tu as an arrow, he shot straight at the Liao army that was three times larger. Attack and kill them.
The Qingzhou Army is no better than the ordinary Song Army. It can be said that in every battle in the past, they have defeated more with less, so even if they face the Liao Army this time, they are not afraid at all, and they still move forward bravely. After seeing this scene, the fighting spirit of the Liao army was instantly ignited. They all roared and raised their swords to meet him. Xiao Yanping even strode forward, aimed at Sun Tu, and slashed his head with the sword.
After calming down for a while, he could already see that the Song army's combat power was indeed extraordinary, and the key to it was the leader Sun Tu. Therefore, as long as they are killed, the enemy army will naturally collapse. But he obviously made a wrong calculation. This seemingly vicious sword was easily blocked by Sun Tu. At the same time, he immediately counterattacked. The long sword took advantage of the force and hit the vital part of his chest, forcing him to quickly fight back to save himself. , the two knives quickly clashed between the two of them.
Although Sun Tu's offensive as an arrow was blocked, the momentum of the soldiers at the rear was still there. They had already crashed into the Liao army. With their momentum and cooperation, they actually penetrated the opponent's line in one go, and followed the attack. Kill the enemy and quickly expand the gap.
At this moment, Sun Tucai and Xiao Yanping passed by each other. The knife in his hand did not stop, and he continued to slash forward, killing a Liao soldier who had just raised the knife to chop him, and then shouted: "Charge from the left! "As he said that, he led the team to fight in that direction.
As a general, Sun Tu did not lose his mind because of the powerful enemy in front of him. He knew very well that to win, he did not necessarily have to fight Xiao Yanping. As long as he defeated his troops, it would be enough to keep this enemy. Xiao Yanping, on the other hand, obviously failed to keep up with Sun Tu's pace at this time. As soon as he turned around and wanted to fight again, he found that the opponent was actually chasing his subordinates who were retreating to the side to kill him, which made him a little at a loss. After a while, he roared again and hurriedly chased after him. But this time, he learned the lesson and did not pursue Sun Tu again. Instead, he set his target on the Song army behind him. Kill two people.
This time he really chose the right target. The sharp arrow formation is different from the defensive circle formation. There are not many Austrian aids among the soldiers, and it is more about charging and killing. When attacked from the side by the enemy, they tended to attack instead of defend. But in front of a brave general like Xiao Yanping, such counterattacks are natural.
It was not considered a threat. In the blink of an eye, several people had been attacked and killed by him, and the charging formation suddenly froze.
After Sun Tu heard the screams from behind, he quickly stopped and yelled again: "Disperse! Yanyue Formation!" He quickly turned back, and when he looked, the knife in his hand had been swiped out again, straight to the point. Xiao Yanping slashed at a soldier with his sword, forcing the other soldier to put away his sword and defend himself, and then the two clashed again.
This time, Xiao Yanping, who already knew Sun Tu's thoughts, did not dare to let him leave and command the formation. He immediately used all his strength to entangle Sun Tu. At the same time, he was shouting: "Don't worry about the Song army's formation, just charge hard and use your strength to disperse them!"
This Liao army was originally composed of multiple armies and horses. What they originally wanted to do was to select elites to disrupt the Song army's rear. However, this obviously ignored the tacit understanding developed among the sergeants during many years of combat training. When there were horses before, they could still rely on the Liao people's own habits to make up for the problem. But now, because they had lost all their bows and horses while escaping, they could only fight on foot, and their disadvantages were infinitely magnified. What we can do at this time is to follow our own aggressive nature and the numerical advantage to carry out a strong attack, hoping to exchange lives for lives and eat the Song army.
The Liao army's desperate efforts really suppressed the Qingzhou army. Moreover, the Yanyue Formation is more suitable for attacking in open areas. Now that the space is limited, it is really impossible to display its full power. After a lot of attacking, it was cut into several sections by the enemy, and the necessary care was missing.
On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly. As the commander-in-chief, Sun Tu should have immediately ordered a change of formation as soon as he saw a move. But at this time, he was facing Xiao Yanping, who was killing them like a mad tiger. It was difficult for them to change formations, let alone give orders, let alone go back to take care of them. Often when he was distracted and wanted to say something, the other party would strike directly at the target, forcing him to shut up and concentrate and deal with it with all his strength. As a result, the Qingzhou Army gradually suffered more casualties. Listening to the familiar screams, Sun Tu's breathing became heavier.
"Sun Tu, you are indeed a serious problem for me in Daliao, but this time even if I risk my life, I will kill you and your subordinates for my Northern Dynasty!" He said to disturb Sun Tu. In terms of mind, Xiao Yanping's offensive became more and more fierce, and the sword was always on Sun Tu's throat and heart, but he did not pay too much attention to his own defense.
For the time being, Sun Tu had no intention of dying with him, so he could only retreat and defend, hoping to find a flaw. But this also makes him even less able to see the overall situation and give reasonable orders. After taking a few steps back, his eyes suddenly glanced at a few bows beside the campfire. This made his heart suddenly move: "Yes, how could I have made such a big mistake? The enemy does not use crossbows." , we can use it!”
At that moment, after dodging another move, he decisively shouted: "Kill the enemy with a crossbow!" There was no need to distract himself from formulating a strategy with this sentence, so he simply said it.
And just a moment after he said these words, the sound of whizzing arrows pierced the air, and the Liao army who was inextricably fighting against the Song army immediately screamed and fell over.
The situation has turned again...
