Sun Tu really couldn't believe the scene he saw in front of him, the official army was actually defeated like this?

Although he could already conclude from the chaotic charge just now that this army had no tactical literacy at all, it was too unseemly to be defeated so easily after only a round of counterattacks by bandits, could it still be called an official army? Relying on them to protect the territory and the people, how can the Great Song Sheji and the people be safe?

It wasn't until later, when Sun Tu began to have a better understanding of the current Great Song army, that he understood that all this was well founded. In the Great Song Dynasty, the status of officers and soldiers was extremely low, and their existence was not for training, but for the service of superiors and officials, they could be farmers, craftsmen, or merchants, but they could not become soldiers, and these township soldiers in Yuncheng County were just a microcosm of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers all over the world.

It's just that the current Sun Tu can't accept such a terrible fact. In fact, it wasn't just him, Suo Chao was also stunned by the sudden rout in front of him, and then he was even more angry, and his eyes were almost bursting with fire: "Lieutenant Shi, this is your soldiers and horses in Yuncheng County?" It's no wonder that a group of thieves dare to show off their might here, and they dare to rob the Birthday Gang! As he spoke, his resentful gaze was fixed on Shi Wenbin's body.

This made Shi Wenbin also panic, Ai Ai couldn't say a word for a long time, and he actually didn't know that the village soldiers under his command would be so vulnerable. At this time, those soldiers and horses had already retreated in embarrassment, and they all looked frightened, and a few of them even sat on the ground and cried loudly, which made Shi Wenbin, who wanted to punish them, not know what to say.

In the end, he could only vent the annoyance in his heart on the two heads who came to ask for guilt: "Lei Heng Zhu Tong, what are you doing to eat, why did you come back so easily?" ”

"Guilty of contemplation!" Zhu Lei and the others were helpless in their hearts, so they could only bow their heads and admit their guilt. Although the two of them have a body of martial arts, attacking the mountain is different from fighting with others after all, and it is impossible to fight the mountain on their own.

"Come on, tie up the two of them, and punish thirty military sticks to set an example!" In order to give Suo Chao an explanation, Shi Wenbin could only use these two people to open the knife, and immediately gave orders.

Soon several sergeants came forward and tried to tie them up and torture them. I don't want Suo Chao to suddenly open his mouth: "Slow, your two martial arts are not bad, are you willing to follow me to attack the mountain and atone for your sins?" As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes at the two of them. Lei Heng's performance just now was still seen by him, and he also knew that they were forced to retreat due to the situation.

"I am willing to do it, thank you General for giving us the opportunity." The two agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, then follow me!" Suo Chao couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately pointed to the hill in front of him, and at the same time patted the horse under his crotch, urging him to rush forward. The cavalry beside him did not hesitate at all, and immediately followed closely, screaming and killing the general, followed by Lei Heng and Zhu Tong.

This change really surprised Shi Wenbin, and it wasn't until the more than fifty people rushed out that he suddenly woke up and exclaimed: "General Suo, this is so dangerous!" "Just now, hundreds of people attacked the mountain and lost dozens of lives at the foot of the mountain, and now there are only about 50 people killed in the past, isn't it looking for death?

But Suo Chao and the others were already far away, so they didn't pay attention to the shouts of the county lieutenant at all, and rushed to the foot of the mountain after a while.

The people of Hutou Village, who were complacent because of the easy defeat of the official army, were all vigilant when they saw another team rushing over, and most of them were cavalry. Especially Du Hu, his eyes are even more solemn, he knows very well what such a cavalry means, it must be the elite of the official army!

But he didn't feel timid, but showed a greedy expression: "The third, the seventh, if I can take those war horses, the strength of my tiger head village will be greatly increased." "I'm still very confident in the defense ability of my own cottage, and even started the idea of those war horses.

Shen Laoqi licked his dry lips, smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss, I know what to do." As he spoke, he took two steps forward and said to the minions who had already picked up their bows and arrows and wanted to pry the stones to stop the enemy: "Don't move, wait for them to come up the mountain and deal with them, don't hurt those good horses!" ”

The minions hurriedly agreed, and quickly put away their movements, only two feather arrows flew out for some reason, shooting towards the cavalry team that had just arrived at the foot of the mountain, but they were stopped by Suo Chao with a Xuanhua axe. Then he pointed his axe at the enemy above him and shouted: "Brothers, the opportunity to make a contribution has come, follow me and kill him!" Before he could finish speaking, his hand pressed on the horse's back, and his body was already rushing towards the mountain road like an arrow from the string, and he quickly grabbed it.

Those cavalrymen were all the elite who had followed him for many years, and there was no fear at this time, so they shouted at the moment, dismounted with the swords and guns in their hands, and followed, although there were only fifty or so people, but their momentum was actually stronger than the hundreds of people who had just charged.

Seeing that they rushed up the mountain road in one go, even the worried Shi Wenbin felt a burst of joy: "It turns out that these thieves have that little ability, and this time they can calm the thieves!" The other officers and soldiers and civilians were even more excited, and shouted loudly to cheer, but no one dared to go up to support.

Among these people who applauded again and again, only Song Jiang and Sun Tu's faces were particularly solemn, and the latter said softly: "Things are not good......

"Saburo also saw it?" Song Jiang asked in a low voice.

Sun Tu nodded: "Those thieves are not in a hurry to use the means just now, not because they can't get help with bows and arrows, but because they want to lure the enemy deep into a trick, so that they can attack General Suo and them." ”

As soon as he said this, the battle on the hill ahead of him had quickly begun. Just as Suo Chao led the people to quickly move forward along the narrow mountain road, after a trumpet sounded, countless sharp arrows had already whizzed towards him with the sound of breaking through the air.

But this was obviously expected by Suo Chao, and he immediately waved the long-handled Xuanhua axe like a wheel with both hands, blocking all the arrows that shot in front of him, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Where are the shield soldiers?" ”

In fact, without his order, there were five or six extremely burly men running up among the sergeants who followed behind, holding wooden shields more than half a person high, and they stopped in front of Suo Chao and them in a hurry, helping them resist the continuous arrows that were being fired.

These shield soldiers have fought with a small group of Liao troops in the border areas, and they are all powerful, and with their shields, they can naturally easily seal the road ahead completely, so as not to let those random arrows hurt their comrades. At the same time, under Suo Chao's orders, they continued to move forward with arrows, almost unaffected.

Seeing this, Du Hu's expression finally became solemn, and he immediately said: "Put the stone, throw the spear!" I don't believe I can't kill them! ”

At that moment, someone pried the mountain rocks that had been arranged earlier, and let the large and small stones rumble down the mountain road and smash into the officers and soldiers below. At the same time, sharpened wooden spears were hurled with a whistling, vowing to shoot through the enemy in front of them.

"Bang bang bang ......" The successive stones slammed heavily on the shield, causing the soldiers behind them to suddenly stumble under their feet. Although their strength was great, they could not resist the stones that fell with hundreds of catties of strength, and two of them were even crooked and fell to the side.

At this time, spears roared in, hitting several soldiers who had lost the protection of their shields, and nailed them directly to the mountain road.

At the same time, another rain of arrows took the opportunity to shoot over, and let everyone parry for a while, not only could not move forward for a while, but could only retreat slightly in order to have room for defense.

Suo Chao saw that five or six of his men had been injured here, and he was immediately angry, and immediately roared, his body had jumped up, and the long axe in his hand danced like a wheel, and he actually blocked the spears and arrows that came one after another with the strength of one person. And inspired by him, the others also fought bravely, Lei Heng jumped up, directly snatched the shield that fell to the ground before, and blocked it in front of everyone, and the already scattered formation actually recovered at this time.

Seeing this, Du Hu was also in his heart, he had already seen that the general with the axe was strong in martial arts, and if he really rushed to kill, he was afraid that he would not be an opponent, so he hurriedly said: "Old Seven, get rid of him for me!" ”

Shen Laoqi agreed, and quickly bent his bow and arrow, aimed at Suo Chao, who was still in the air, and snatched his neck with a whining arrow.

Suo Chao, who was below, had just knocked another puff of arrows away, and when he wanted to fall back into the team, he suddenly heard a strange roar coming towards him, and when he saw the incoming arrows clearly, he was already close in front of him. This also made him startled, and hurriedly shrank his head and flashed to the side. But after all, he was still half a beat slower, and although the sharp arrow did not hit his vital point, it still pierced directly into his right shoulder, making him stumble and fall while snorting, and almost fall.

But this little injury didn't frighten Suo Chao, I saw that he broke the shaft of the arrow casually, gritted his teeth and said: "Again, their skills are exhausted!" ”

Just when everyone was encouraged by it and wanted to continue to move forward, a rapid sound of gold suddenly sounded from below, making everyone's movements suddenly stagnate, and the momentum of killing the enemy was also eliminated.
