Chapter 401: Between Life and Death (Part I)

Seeing that Sun Tu and the others actually broke through again, and killed and injured many of his subordinates, Xiao Yanping was even more annoyed, and shouted angrily, urging the remaining soldiers to follow him and continue to pursue, and at the same time, he also yelled forward in unskilled Chinese: "Song will be famous!" He was curious to know the exact identity of this Song army general who could fight on a par with him.

Sun Tu, who was constantly riding his horse and rushing forward, was stunned for a moment when he heard this roar, and then replied loudly: "Qingzhou Sun Tu, what about you?" ”

"Nanjing Xiao Yanping!" At the same time as reporting his name, Xiao Yanping once again slammed the whip on the horse's hips, causing the crimson horse under his crotch to accelerate suddenly after Herod's neighing, and actually narrowed the distance of about twenty steps in the blink of an eye, only one hundred and fifty steps away from Sun Tu, and then gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and bent his bow and arrow again, aiming at Sun Tu in the crowd.

With a muffled snort, the arrow flew out of the string again, but Xiao Yanping's shoulder also had a large amount of blood flowing out, and the arrow wound that he had not had time to deal with was already more serious, but at this moment, he didn't care about these at all, he just wanted to catch up with and kill this strong enemy as soon as possible, so the second arrow followed and hit, and it was actually a quick shot.

Sun Tu immediately turned over and lowered himself after hearing the sharp sound of breaking the air behind his head, and at the same time the gun in his hand was quickly picked up. Thanks to his quick movements, the sharp arrow arrived just in time when the spear was pulled back, and a loud bang changed the powerful arrow and caused it to fly over its own head.

But because of this time the arrow blocking made Sun Tuma's speed slow down by a few beats in an instant, and it also shortened the distance between him and Xiao Yanping again, and the two consecutive arrows with louder voices were already in hot pursuit. After comprehending the powerful power attached to the opponent's arrows, Sun Tu didn't dare to slack off, dodging while waving his spear, and finally knocked all the three arrows that came in a row, but in such a delay, the enemy had chased behind him.

In fact, Xiao Yanping also knew that his Lianzhu arrows could not hurt Sun Tu, so he sent arrows just now to delay the speed of Sun Tu's escape, and now he caught up, so he roared again, and the big knife had already slashed horizontally, directly hitting Sun Tu's shoulder and upper body.

Sun Tu had no intention of entanglement with it, after all, the enemy was powerful, and if he dragged it on, he would only be killed in vain, so he didn't have any intention of blocking it, he only grabbed the horse's belly, drank clearly, and urged the horse to rush forward. It was only at this time that he completely used the speed of the imperial green horse under his crotch, and Xiao Yanping, who had been chasing him back and forth, was actually pulled away by him by two feet in an instant, so that the knife that was swung with all his strength fell into the air.

Not only that, but because of this sudden change, Xiao Yanping, a master, was stunned, and after the knife was swung, he forgot to recover it for a while and continued to chase after him. This allowed Sun Tu to seize the opportunity, and once again galloped on his horse, catching up with the subordinates who had just listened to his will and did not stop to help in the battle.

In fact, during the escape along the way, Sun Tu did not let the green horse run at full speed, otherwise I am afraid that he would have thrown off the enemy for several miles at this time. So in this case, it is better to consider the overall situation, after all, he is not a selfish person who only cares about one person's escape. It's just that I didn't expect this clumsy to really play a role at this critical moment.

After such a great opportunity to miss again, Xiao Yanping became more and more angry, shouted loudly, and urged the horse to chase after him, and the Liao soldiers under him were left behind at this time, and they were about to be pulled out of a mile or two. Obviously, the horses of these ordinary cavalry still can't be compared with Xiao Yanping's, but his horses are also exhausted, so they let Sun Tu and them get out of the knife several times.

Just when no matter how much he chased after him, the distance between the two sides could not be shortened, and no matter how much he released the arrow, he might not be able to pose much of a threat to Sun Tu, Xiao Yanping's heart suddenly moved, and a trace of fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes. Sun Tu's choice just now had already given him an extremely crucial hint - if you want to slow down his escape, you don't have to start with him, you can start from elsewhere.

In the turn of his mind, he had drawn his bow again, but this time the arrow flew towards the body of a Song soldier in front of him. That man's skills were naturally far inferior to Sun Tu's, so he immediately responded to the arrow, screamed and fell off the horse.

And at the moment when everyone's hearts were shocked and their faces changed drastically, the bowstring behind had sounded continuously, and several sharp arrows attacked one after another.

In this way, Sun Tu's heart suddenly tightened, and the horse's speed slowed down. He knew that the other party had seen through his weaknesses - those subordinate brothers who had been fighting with him until now!

Shicai Sun Tu risked being dragged by Xiao Yanping, and then refused to let the others stay with him for a while in the face of the risk of being surrounded and killed by hundreds of Liao soldiers, just so that the few remaining brothers could save their lives. And now, Xiao Yanping uses them as a bargaining chip to drag Sun Tu - as long as you continue to escape, these people will become his target until he shoots them all!

At this point, Sun Tu seemed to have no choice, either to flee regardless of the casualties of his subordinates, or to deal with the life-seeking arrows behind him with them. And he, of course, would only choose the latter, and immediately slowed down his horse, held the gun in both hands, and was ready to fight the enemy to the death.

But at this moment, the seven or eight subordinates who were still alive beside him stopped their horses and quickly shouted, "Eunuch, the lowly ones can no longer kill the enemy with you." Please take care, you must return to the Great Song Dynasty alive and return to Qingzhou! At the moment of dropping these words, these Qingzhou army officers and soldiers almost did not hesitate, they quickly turned their horses' heads and resolutely rushed towards Xiao Yanping.

They knew that they had become a drag on Sun Tu, and that as long as they were still in Sun Tu, it would be impossible for them to escape, and they did not hesitate to choose to sacrifice their lives in exchange for Sun Dujian's safe escape. Because they all know very well that for Qingzhou and the Great Song Dynasty, how many soldiers like them are not as important as one Sun Dujian; Moreover, they were full of gratitude and reverence for Sun Tu, and they didn't want him to be killed here by the Liao people like this!

It's worth it to exchange our lives for the prison and leave safely!

With such a resolute heart, they bravely faced the murderous Xiao Yanping, and a moment later, the two sides had collided in one place, and in the poof, blood was all over the sky. These elites in the Qingzhou army are not the enemies of this Liao general's fierce generals at all, and there are three people with different heads just by looking at each other. As soon as the others staggered past them, more than 100 Liao cavalry chasing from the rear also arrived, and they were immediately swallowed up in the torrent of cavalry......

But their sacrifice was still worth it after all, and it was during this obstacle that Sun Tu had rushed forward a hundred steps away again. His body was trembling, his eyes were red, as if liquid was about to burst out of his eyes. But Sun Tu still didn't let the horse urine flow out, he knew very well that now was not the time to be sad, let alone mess up his mind because of this.

When these subordinates did not hesitate to die to fulfill themselves, Sun Tu had already made a decision in an instant - for the sake of the future, for their affection, he decided to survive and live desperately!

Therefore, even if the screams of those subordinates who had been fighting side by side for the past two years kept coming from the rear, Sun Tu did not look back again, but instead beat the horse with all his might, urging the green horse to gallop forward at the fastest speed, carrying himself to escape from the other party's pursuit as soon as possible.

This time, Sun Tu was completely free of burden, and he was already alone, and he could completely kick and run wild with the horse under his crotch, which also made the distance between him and the enemy farther and farther. Even if the sky was completely bright at this time, Xiao Yanping, who was chasing at the front, could not see him. The Royal Horse is truly extraordinary!

Xiao Yanping's face also became extremely gloomy, if Sun Tu was really allowed to escape from his eyes, his face would be ruined, and more importantly, this person would definitely become a big disaster one day! From the fight just now, especially his final choice, Xiao Yanping could clearly feel that Sun Tu was an extremely formidable opponent, with strong martial arts, full of resourcefulness, and his heart was decisive and ruthless enough, so he could choose to leave at that moment, instead of turning around and fighting to the death with his comrades.

Although it is terrible for a general to be able to take it, it is the greater threat to let it go.

So even if Sun Tu ran farther and farther, Xiao Yanping had no intention of giving up the pursuit, and continued to chase with all his might. And after chasing all the way again, a cold smile suddenly appeared on his originally gloomy face: "Sun Tu, this time it's the sky that is going to kill you!" ”

At the same time, Sun Tu, who was constantly beating the horse and galloping, also changed his face, and then pulled the reins violently, completely reducing the speed of the forward rush. It's just that in front of him is no longer a plain avenue, but a big river with turbulent waves, and the road ahead is suddenly interrupted!

What to do? Sun Tu Zhuma's face was entangled. But before he could have an idea, the sound of the horse's hooves chasing behind him had once again been killed like a talisman, Xiao Yanping saw Sun Tu stop by the river from a distance, and laughed loudly: "Sun Tu, see where are you still running?" As he spoke, he bent his bow and arrows again, and three arrows went straight to the horse under Sun Tu's crotch.

At this time, Sun Tu also had a trace of determination on his face, and at the moment when the arrow was fired, he had already lost his stirrups with both feet, and his hand pressed on the saddle violently, and the person had rushed straight to the river in front of him like an arrow from the string. Since the road ahead is blocked, and there are pursuers behind, then you can only choose to escape by entering the water.

And after seeing his move, Xiao Yanping was also in a hurry, and hurriedly urged the horse to rush again, and halfway through, several sharp arrows shot in succession, covering all the space where Sun Tu was.

Sun Tu, who was in mid-air, shouted violently, with the knife in his hand, and kept striking while falling into the water, and finally knocked almost all the arrows in his body away. Only a sharp arrow at a sharp angle came from the diagonal stab into his shoulder socket, causing him to snort and slam into the water.

At this time, Xiao Yanping had already arrived on a flying horse, completely ignoring the fracture of the wound on his shoulder and the blood flowed like a stream, and he once again shot three arrows in a row after Sun Tu, who had entered the water. In the blink of an eye, a sharp arrow entered the water, and immediately a large cloud of blood surfaced......
