For this trip to Zhuozhou, Sun Tu and the others were well prepared. Not only did they all wear soft armor, they were also equipped with extremely powerful crossbows. It's just that the Liao army's night attack came too suddenly and caught them off guard. Many people turned over and started fighting, with their bows and crossbows still on the ground.
But there were still some soldiers who were vigilant enough to hide it behind their backs. They had no time to use it when they formed a formation to fight. But now, after listening to Sun Tu's reminder, these people quickly made the most correct decision. After forcing the enemy away, he immediately drew his crossbow and drew the hanging knife.
These crossbows were all the most sophisticated in the Song Army, and their range and accuracy were first-class. Now that they were suddenly fired at such a close distance, how could these ordinary Liao soldiers be able to withstand them. When they saw the crossbow arrows coming out, they had already hurriedly raised their troops, but they were still a little slow. With the sound of breaking through the air, the powerful arrows accurately shot into their chests, propelled by the huge mechanical force. , and even shot through their bodies, bringing blood out from their backs, causing a burst of screams and the sound of falling to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the balance of victory and defeat has been reversed quickly, and the Song army's military morale has been greatly boosted. With the cry of killing, the enemy who has been killed several times has retreated in embarrassment, almost losing the power to fight back.
The sudden change in the battle situation of his subordinates also affected the two generals who were fighting fiercely. When he caught a glimpse of the fighting on the side, Sun Tu naturally made up his mind. With a knife in front of him, he made the tiger fierce and defended without leakage. , blocking all the opponent's fierce attacks. But Xiao Yanping's heart was already anxious and confused. Such changes were really unacceptable to him. Now he was even more eager to kill the target, and his offensive became more and more fierce, almost using all his strength.
From Sun Tu's point of view, Xiao Yanping is a rare and powerful opponent. If the two of them fight in a fair fight, even if he is better than him, but if he really wants to defeat him, he will have to fight hundreds of moves. As for hurting him, it will be even more difficult. It's a big price to pay. But now, it was not a fair duel after all. The other party's mind was already in confusion, and he was more anxious than himself, so naturally his flaws were revealed.
When Xiao Yanping made another round of rapid attacks and was firmly defended by Sun Tu, his momentum was suddenly suffocated, and a flaw in his boss suddenly appeared on his chest. After all, his injuries had not healed, and even though he was fighting with all his strength, his strength was somewhat unable to keep up. And this was the opportunity Sun Tu had been waiting for.
Without any hesitation, the knife in Sun Tu's hand that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly flashed with cold light. As he moved forward, he quickly moved towards him and took the knife straight to his chest. Xiao Yanping also turned pale, and hurriedly retreated, returning the knife to save himself. He also knew that he had exposed a fatal flaw, and if he made a mistake, the price would be heavy.
But the changes that followed took him by surprise again! At the moment when he returned to defend himself with his sword, Sun Tu's seemingly fierce sword stopped midway, and there was a sound of wind at the bottom of the body. With a bang, his knees were hit by gravity, and his whole body lost balance. Lost, he threw it sideways towards a bonfire nearby.
It turned out that Sun Tu's sword was actually a false move, and while he was focusing all his attention on how to parry the sword, he suddenly attacked from below and wounded the enemy with one move. Compared to Sun Tu, who was better at fighting on foot than on horseback, Xiao Yanping's defense on the bottom plate was obviously more than a little worse, and he was caught instantly.
Amid the exclamations, Xiao Yanping was about to fall into the bonfire. Once this happened, it might be completely over. What a fierce general of the Liao Kingdom, he
At the moment when his head was about to touch the flames, the knife in his hand stabbed down quickly, and with a crisp sound, the falling force was stopped. At the same time as the knife in his hand broke, he used the strength to throw himself to the other side. Although his lower body was still rubbed by the flames and caught fire, causing sudden pain, he escaped the bad luck of being burned by the flames and saved himself. .
This decision was made at the last moment. Even Sun Tu, his opponent, couldn't help but applaud him, because if it were him, he couldn't come up with a better response. The opponent's ability to make a decisive decision shows the depth of his skill and reaction. So fast. However, this still could not change Sun Tu's determination to kill him. Seeing him slapping him on the ground, he didn't even pause. He stretched out his body and was already chasing after him. The knife in his hand suddenly stabbed straight into the opponent's chest and abdomen. , vowing to kill him with one sword.
From the first time the two met many years ago, Sun Tu knew that Xiao Yanping was a formidable opponent. Every subsequent encounter confirmed this judgment, and Sun Tu almost died at his hands twice in a row. So now that I finally got the chance to kill the enemy, I can't be the least bit merciful.
The two of them rushed over there, one after the other. Xiao Yanping hit the ground hard first, but he completely ignored the pain in his back that was about to break. He raised his hand and saw that only half of the steel knife was facing him. Sun Tufei came. However, it was dodged by him, and the stabbing knife in his hand was only slightly relieved.
Then Sun Tu, who was still rushing towards him in the air, had already lowered his sword. With a pop, it went straight into the opponent's chest and abdomen, and he finally succeeded.
But what is surprising is that at this moment, Sun Tu's face did not have the slightest joy that he should have when killing a powerful enemy. Instead, his expression changed. Because he saw the determination in the enemy's eyes. It was not a relief from death, but a look that led the enemy into his own trap.
And at this moment, Xiao Yanping's already empty hands moved forward, and there were two more things - a bow and an arrow! After dozens of days, he finally mastered his most powerful killing weapon again!
If Sun Tu's martial arts skills were divided into five points with swords, four points with spears, and one point with bows and arrows, then Xiao Yanping's three points were with swords and seventeen points with bows and arrows. It can be said that his rapid rise in the Liao army was not only due to the hard work of his master Yelu Dashi, but also because of his miraculous shooting skills that surpassed the Liao army.
Only Xiao Yanping, who has a bow and arrow in hand, is the most terrifying killer in the army. Unfortunately, this time due to the defeat the day before, he lost his own treasured bow, and the entire army had no bows and arrows to use, which greatly reduced his combat power. It wasn't until the moment he was put to death that he held the bow and arrow in his hands again.
Although it was just an ordinary Badou bow, it was enough for him to perform terrifying shooting skills. In fact, the pounce he just made was not only to avoid the flames, but also because he aimed at the bow and arrow here. Since it is a situation of certain defeat and death, then use your life as a bet and take the opportunity to kill Sun Tu, which can be regarded as an explanation to the master!
This was his entire plan, and it seems to have worked. Just as Sun Tu's sword entered his body, he had already held the bow and arrow in his hand. Although he fell to the ground and was hit by waves of pain, it did not affect his ability to string the arrow and string it without even blinking. The bowstring trembled sharply. , the feather arrow flew out like lightning, heading straight for the door in front of Sun Tu.
Fortunately, after Sun Tu succeeded in the move, he noticed something strange about the other party, and his body reacted immediately. He didn't even have time to draw out his sword, and the man quickly moved to the side.
square. If there was even the slightest hesitation this time, Xiao Yanping's arrow would kill him. But even though Sun Tu moved very quickly, the arrow still grazed his cheek, bringing out a stream of blood and making him break out in a cold sweat.
But his danger was far from over. Xiao Yanping, who had missed his arrow, vomited a large mouthful of blood, and sat up abruptly, regardless of the sharp blade that passed through him. The bowstring in his hand sounded like a thunderbolt, and he hurriedly Quickly, seven sharp arrows flew out at the same time, hitting Sun Tu and all the space around him, blocking all his escape routes.
This was Xiao Yanping's last trick, and it was also the last trick he burned with his life. As soon as this move came out, it was a lose-lose outcome. His whole body was like a bloody gourd, and Sun Tu could no longer dodge. Moreover, because the knife was piercing his body, he couldn't even block it.
At this moment, Xiao Yanping had an inexplicable smile on his face, staring ahead, just waiting for the moment when Sun Tu was shot by him. In this way, he can rest in peace even if he dies.
Sun Tu was still making a last-ditch effort to save himself, with his body fully open, and he was dodging quickly like withered grass in the wind. The first two arrows were dodged by him again, and the next three arrows also passed by while he was avoiding them with all his strength. But the last two arrows just blocked his last escape route, but he could no longer avoid it. When manpower is exhausted, even Sun Tu cannot achieve perfection.
"General..." the subordinates not far away exclaimed, but even if they wanted to rush forward and die, it was already too late. Sun Tu's heart sank to the bottom. He never thought that he had underestimated Xiao Yanping and would die at the hands of the other party. After several years of reincarnation, is it still impossible to escape such a fate
"Whoosh!" Just when Sun Tu was helpless and was about to close his eyes and wait for death, two gusts of wind suddenly rose up, making him feel a sting on his cheeks, followed by two snapping sounds. When he opened his eyes again, he saw The four sharp arrows collided with each other, and all their strength disappeared just half a foot away from his face, and they fell to the ground slumped.
At this time, Sun Tu's steps were soft and he stumbled to the ground. In addition to the surprise of being saved from a desperate situation, there was also a strong sense of surprise on his face. He hurriedly turned his head to look behind where the arrow came from. At night like this, someone was actually able to shoot down a fatal blow from an archery master like Xiao Yanping with a fast arrow from a distance. The skill of this person's bow and arrow was also astonishingly strong.
Immediately, what caught Sun Tu's eyes were two figures standing with bows - they actually took action at the same time to relieve him!
But because of the darkness and distance, Sun Tu couldn't really see the other person's appearance. He only felt that one of them was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
At the same time, Xiao Yanping on the other side howled miserably: "God won't help me!" A large mouthful of blood spurted out, and he immediately fell down and made no sound again. But his eyes were widened unwillingly, and he really refused to rest in peace.
At this moment, both the enemy and ourselves on the entire battlefield were stunned. Like Sun Tu, everyone's eyes also focused on the direction of Baima Mountain over there, wanting to see clearly the appearance of the person coming. Then what they saw was a sudden burst of fire, and then a roar broke out: "Kill, kill Liao Gou!"
Hundreds of people rushed straight out of the shadowy forest at once, and when two big men took the lead and charged out, Sun Tu finally recognized their identities. But at the same time, he was even more surprised - how could they appear here
