Seeing that Tian Boyuan had already seen through his thoughts, Du Changguo simply stopped hiding it, looked at him and said: "General Tian, that Sun Tu is not my Yanmen Pass, what does it matter if he dies to you and me?" What's more, you should have heard that he has made a lot of enemies in the court, Taishi Cai, Taifu Liang, and Taiwei Gao all regard him as a thorn in the side, and they can't get rid of him quickly, do you really want to save him? ”

If Tian Boyuan wanted to carry the other party's threat to send troops because of his respect for Sun Tu before, then now, after listening to the names of several powerful ministers of the DPRK reported by Du Jianjun, this last bit of courage has disappeared. Although he was at the border, he had heard some things about the DPRK and China, and he knew that the other party was not alarmist.

Obviously, Du Changguo is determined to put Sun Tu to death, if he sends troops desperately, not to mention whether he can pass this level, just afterwards the blame from those bigwigs is not something that he can afford as a mere seven-rank general.

If he just ventured to fight with the Liao army, Tian Boyuan was not afraid, but the threat from the DPRK had already frightened him. In the end, he could only have a clear conscience and dare not speak again. It's just that his body is trembling, his fists are clenched, and the guilt, anger and helplessness in his heart are intertwined, and he has not been able to calm down for a long time.

And Du Changguo, who was on the side, saw that he didn't speak anymore, although his expression was constantly changing, he didn't take it to heart, he just smiled disdainfully, and waved his hand at the guards who had just gathered: "What are you still doing here?" Quickly dispersed, good life to guard Yanmen Pass, don't let the Liao people have an opportunity to take advantage of the right way. ”

Although the soldiers were puzzled, they could only obey the order at this time, and after agreeing, these thousands of people quickly dispersed, and Yanmen Pass returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

And when Du Changguo saw this, he was even more disdainful and laughed, these martial artists really thought they could turn over? Even if you are in wartime now, even if you are at the border, you can still call the shots as a civilian official. As for an outlier like Sun Tu, it would be better for him to die early, and it was better to die at the hands of the Liao, so that it would save a lot of effort. As for whether this matter will affect the war ahead, it is completely out of consideration......

￥￥￥￥￥

Although Sun Tu was in extreme danger at this time, his life was not in danger.

The night passed, the sky was bright again, and a new round of offensive of the Liao army under the mountain came again.

This time, instead of just throwing stones at the hill as they did yesterday, they sent their men and horses to follow suit. Taking advantage of the fact that the Song army on the mountain was beaten by a stone thrower to hide in Tibet, thousands of cavalry quickly rushed into their own range, and then shot round after round of arrows up the mountain, continuing to harvest the lives of the Song army, and then some people took advantage of this to suppress it, and rushed up the mountain with their horses, intending to open a gap in one breath, so that the Song army no longer even had the last bit of geographical advantage.

Fortunately, at this time, the Tiger Ben army finally broke out the most brave and fearless side, even if there were arrows flying overhead, they still risked death under the leadership of Sun Tu and other generals to press up, and fought fierce battles with the Liao army on the edge of the mountain.

Thanks to the Liao army, because of some concerns, they did not throw stones after their own people climbed the mountain and attacked, which made the Song army breathe a sigh of relief, and with the backing of strong bows and crossbows, plus two or three thousand people fought with all their might, they finally drove this group of enemies down the mountain. Although two or three hundred enemies were killed in this battle, the Song army's own casualties were even more, and in only half a day, five or six hundred people fell, which can be described as a heavy price.

If it weren't for the sudden withdrawal of troops at the foot of the mountain near noon, I am afraid that this offensive and defensive battle will make the casualties of the Song army climb to a new high. It wasn't until the enemy retreated down the mountain that the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and many of them sat down directly on the ground, gasping for breath, and fighting hard for half a day, so that they could not even feel thirst and hunger at this time. But in fact, these thousands of tiger troops, both physically and mentally, are about to reach their limits, and they are not far from collapse.

Many of the Liao army soldiers under the mountain also saw this in their eyes, so when Xiao Yanping ordered the retreat, many people still couldn't understand it, and some people then asked: "General, obviously we can already level the Song army in one go, why do we have to retreat and give them a chance to breathe?" ”

This sentence immediately won the approval of many people, and many soldiers fell on Xiao Yanping. It is one thing to order and prohibit, but the concept of respect and inferiority within the Liao army is much weaker than that of the Song army, and if there is any doubt, it dares to raise it in person.

Xiao Yanping didn't think it was angry, and smiled and pointed to the Song army on the mountain: "They are now at the end of their crossbows, and they are cornered, and it is no longer difficult to destroy them." But have you ever thought about it, if the persecution is too great, once the remaining 3,000 Song troops fight desperately, it will also cause a lot of damage to us. Our goal is not just to destroy this Song army, so it is naturally better to preserve our strength and defeat the enemy.

"As long as they calm down and fear them, their military spirit will inevitably collapse completely. In the afternoon, we will open the way with rocks and arrows, and I am sure that we will be able to defeat them in one battle, so that they will not have the slightest chance to resist! ”

Xiao Yanping not only has excellent martial arts and archery skills, but he also has a deep understanding of the way to use soldiers after following Yelu Dashi for many years. Yes, it is naturally the best result to be able to defeat the enemy at the lowest cost.

At this time, on the mountain, after looking at the dazed and desperate looks of the soldiers around him, Sun Tu also quickly understood the sinister intentions of the enemy below. At the same time, I also regretted for a while, I still underestimated the combat power of the Liao army, and also overestimated the strength of the tiger army itself.

He thought that he could hold on for another day with the help of the terrain, and maybe then the reinforcements would be able to kill. But the current Tiger Ben Army is obviously unable to do it. Because in a sense, this Tiger Army is just a new recruit who has just entered the battlefield after all, and then it is unprepared to fight the elite of the Liao Army head-on, and this kind of blow is more terrible for them than the wounds on their bodies.

Of course, if these soldiers survive this battle and learn the lessons of this battle, they will become real veterans when the next time they go to war. It's just that the enemy will give them such a chance again?

Sun Tu glanced down the hill, and he saw smoke rising from the Liao army array several miles away, and it was obvious that when they had eaten and drunk enough, they would attack again. And at that time, will these soldiers around them still have the courage to resist the bloody battle?

You can't give up the initiative to the enemy anymore! Sun Tu gritted his teeth and made a decision. I was really too optimistic before, and I made a mistake, and I should have taken the initiative earlier, thinking of destroying these trebuchets. Now, it's the last chance.

"Zheng Ping!" With Sun Tu's shout, an officer who replaced Tang Feng as the captain of the guard came over, although he was wounded, his waist was still as straight as a gun, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.

"How many of our Qingzhou Army brothers can fight?" Sun Tu's gaze swept over the hill and asked in a low voice.

"Back to the general, there are still one hundred and twenty people who can fight."

This time, a total of 300 original Qingzhou troops came north with Sun Tu, and most of them went to this battle. But Sun Tu couldn't care about the pain at this time, and immediately said: "Call everyone, let them prepare more torches in addition to weapons, bows and crossbows, and then go down the mountain with me and burn those trebuchets." ”

Sun Tu's order was calm, and Zheng Ping's answer was also simple: "Oh! After the fork hand agreed, he quickly backed away and went to the back to gather the men. And these veterans of the Qingzhou Army were even more angry and energetic at this time, this time, they were finally able to rush and kill with General Sun again, which was much more refreshing than being beaten passively before, even if they died, they had no regrets.

The movements here have not been paid attention to by too many Tiger Ben soldiers. At this time, their morale was already extremely low, some people muttered to themselves, saying that they were destined to die, some people looked left and right, thinking about whether they could take the opportunity to escape from here, and some even had the idea of surrendering to the Liao. The army's heart has almost collapsed at this moment, as Xiao Yanping said, as long as he fires stones and arrows again, he can easily break the enemy.

Tiger Benjun, after all, the time to follow Sun Tu is too short, although it has the shape of an elite soldier, but it does not have the god of elite soldiers, the soul of elite soldiers!

Only Cao Yan and a few other generals sensed Sun Tu's intentions, and at that moment, they also stumbled forward: "General, do you want to go down the mountain and fight?" ”

"Yes, only by destroying their trebuchets can we have a chance of survival. It was I who misjudged and put everyone in a desperate situation. Sun Tu smiled bitterly and admitted his mistake.

This can be said to be a rare mistake made by Sun Tu since he joined the army, but this time he made a mistake, but the price was likely to be the annihilation of the entire army, and even his own life would be explained here. And the only thing he could do was to fight with all his might and see if he could make amends.

"General, it's better to let the last general go on your behalf, this battle is dangerous, you are the chief general in the army, if there is a good ......" Cao Yan hurriedly persuaded, and at the same time, Wei Cheng and the others also said the same thing, and they all wanted to replace Sun Tu.

But Sun Tu shook his head and rejected the request: "The matter has come to this, we only have one chance." And I believe that when it comes to charging into battle, you can't compare to my Sun Tu. Okay, time is pressing, don't say more, all you have to do is to lead people to continue to guard the mountain, and watch me turn things around! ”

Sun Tu said, he quickly turned around and joined Zheng Ping's old subordinates of the Qingzhou Army. They led their horses at a gallop, and when they came to the side of the mountain again, they almost turned on their horses at the same time, and in the shouting and shouting, more than a hundred horsemen had already sprinted at the same time, like a raging tide of galloping and falling, and went straight to the front of the Liao army hundreds of paces away.

At this moment, Xiao Yanping, who was taking a leather bag and drinking water, changed his expression, he had already bounced up while he was sitting, but he was shocked by this sprint!
