Chapter 396: Desperate Situation (Part II)
Seeing that Sun Tu was moving like a swift wind and holding Yelu Sibuda in his hand, the Liao and Song generals at the mouth of the valley and in the valley all shouted excitedly. Who would have thought that in such a desperate situation, he would be able to fight his way out again?
But then, many Song people suddenly scolded again: "Shameless ......" is because they saw that at this time, Yelu Xiongge did not mean to answer Sun Tu, but quickly turned around and retreated, but threw Sun Tu alone.
In fact, Yelu Xiongge's choice is undoubtedly quite wise, because since Sun Tu can suddenly rush forward to take Sibuda, then he is not safe, once the soldiers and horses on the opposite side seize the opportunity to detain him, the whole plan will be in vain. However, this approach is really unauthentic, and it completely abandons Sun Tu.
At this time, those soldiers and horses under Sibuda finally came to their senses, even if they didn't dare to attack at this time, they also had the intention of surrounding Sun Tu and the others, and a few of them were even more eager to try, and it seemed that they could be killed at any time. Sun Tu didn't dare to relax in the slightest, grabbed Si Buda's shoulder and neck with one hand so that he couldn't easily break free, held a knife against his throat with one hand, and turned slowly with only his legs, and continued to say loudly: "If you want to watch him die, just stop him." I will exchange my life for his life, and I will not lose! Get out of the way! ”
As he spoke, he had already passed past the two Liao soldiers who were blocking the way, although both of them were holding knives, they didn't dare to stab at this time, and could only watch Sun Tu and them pass by. Li Xunxin behind him was so angry that his eyes were on fire, seeing that something big was about to happen, he actually gave birth to such variables, so he couldn't help it anymore and said loudly: "Shoot him with an arrow!" In his opinion, even if he shot Si Buda, it would be nothing, but better, and it would make the situation in Nanjing even more chaotic.
"Why, are you trying to kill your master?" A hint of fierceness flashed in Sun Tu's eyes, and he suddenly shouted loudly, and his voice immediately overshadowed the other party. And those who subconsciously raised their bows and wanted to shoot didn't really make a shot after all, and their faces were full of tangled colors.
At this time, it also reflects Li Xunxin's low-key shortcomings over the years. Because of his low profile, he could not be noticed by a shrewd person like Yelu Xiongge, so that he could better protect his own secrets while sending some useful Liao secrets to Western Xia; But it is precisely because of his low profile that he has almost no presence and prestige in the Liao army, and he opened his mouth at this time as if he didn't say anything.
As for Sibuda, although he fought bravely, he also hoped to gain meritorious benefits by virtue of the great battle with the Song people, but this did not mean that he was not afraid of death. On the contrary, the seemingly heroic and fearless Xuanhui envoy of the Great Liaoning Southern Yuan was more desperate than Yelu Xiongge, because he could only realize his ambitions if he lived. So at this time, he didn't dare to say anything, let alone speak out, which angered Sun Tu.
So, Sun Tu slowly retreated into the valley with Sibuda in front of more than a thousand Liao troops, and it was only then that he and those Great Song soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Song Luda and the others were going to kill the past regardless of their injuries, but they also relaxed at this time: "Sun Dujian, good ability!" ”
"Qianli can capture the main general from the enemy army this time, and this matter will definitely become a beautiful talk for future generations!" Tong Guan also rarely greeted Taniguchi at this time and praised him. As for Yelu Xiongge, he just nodded approvingly, and while paying a little more attention and vigilance to Sun Tu, he asked, "General Sun, how do you plan to use him to break the predicament next?" ”
After Sun Tu entered the valley, he took Sibuda off his horse and shouted: "Tie up!" Then he dismounted and said, "Since you have such a chip in your hand, those guys outside are no longer a threat." King Xiongge can come forward to absorb them, or directly let them retreat twenty miles, so that we can leave calmly and return to Youzhou. ”
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed again, and it seemed that everyone was not far from getting out of trouble. And Si Buda, who had been tied up by Wuhuada, suddenly said after his face changed for a while: "Don't be too happy, do you really think that if you kidnap me, you can go back safely?" ”
"If you can go, you'll see!" As Sun Tu said this, a certain Liao soldier general on the side suddenly rushed up, first kicked Si Buda in the chest, making him roll on the ground in embarrassment, and then stepped forward again, grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up and shouted: "Si Buda, at this time you still dare to talk nonsense, I will pull you out and let them retreat, otherwise I will cut you alive!" ”
Sun Tu recognized this person as one of the main generals in Yelu Xiongge's army, and he could see that someone close to him would be killed in the battle last night, so he hated Yelu Sibuda the most at this time. Seeing this, Yelu Xiongge only opened his mouth slightly, but did not say anything to stop it. In fact, he also hates Sibuda to the core, as long as he can return to Nanjing safely this time, he will kill all the people close to Sibuda, so he will not have any dissatisfaction with his subordinates at this time.
This is also a doer, after speaking, he has dragged Sibuda out, and when he came to the mouth of the valley, he shouted at the Liao soldiers who were still hesitating: "Now that Sibuda has been taken, if you know your mistake, put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise, get me out of the thirty miles away." If you dare to stay here any longer, I'll cut him alive! As he spoke, a short knife had already fallen, and it stabbed into Si Buda's shoulder with a bang, making him let out a miserable howl, which also made the hearts of the soldiers on the other side tremble, and they subconsciously took a few steps back.
But in the end, no one chooses to submit at this time. Because as Liao people, they know too well how cruel their country is to rebels, even if they defect in the middle, they will be liquidated later. And as a pro-army of Sibuda, once they fail, they don't care what will happen.
This move at the mouth of the valley also aroused the dissatisfaction of many Song people, and some people couldn't help but whisper: "These Liao people are really thick-skinned." The people were all taken by the eunuchs at risk, and now they have taken them to take advantage of their majesty......"
Sun Tu smiled indifferently when he heard this, and then said: "This is the internal dispute of the Liao Kingdom, and it has nothing to do with my Great Song Dynasty." It's better for them to come forward in this matter, otherwise they are afraid of bringing trouble to the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Tong Guan glanced at Sun Tu approvingly again: "Qianli really has a long-term vision, and his future will be limitless." ”
As they spoke, the Liao people on the other side began to retreat under the threat. Originally, they were not sure of victory, but now that the Lord will be taken, they will not dare to fight without a leader. In this case, it is better to withdraw from here, and perhaps it is wisest to find someone else to take refuge in.
Seeing them slowly retreating, both sides of the Liao and Song dynasties in the valley breathed a sigh of relief, the crisis was finally lifted, and when they retreated, everyone could take a detour back to Nanjing.
But at that moment, the ground suddenly trembled, and then the sound of horses' hooves rumbled in the distance. When the crowd turned their heads in surprise to look to the other side, they were surprised to see a cavalry team speeding towards this side.
At this time, not only the Liao and Song people in Taniguchi, but also the Liao army rebels who wanted to withdraw were also stunned, and showed a panicked expression. No one knows what this sudden army is or what their purpose is......
Only Sibuda, who fell to the ground in embarrassment, showed a hideous smile at this time, and said softly: "It's finally here, I'll see how you go now......"
This cavalry came very quickly, and in only one meal it had rushed from twenty miles away to the front of the Xifeng Valley, and at this time, the largest banner in the middle of their ranks was also completely unfurled, revealing a small character of Douda. And after seeing this flag clearly, Yelu Xiongge, who was still smiling, suddenly became nervous: "It's not good, it's Xiao Dude who brought the troops here......"
"Xiao Dude, the privy envoy of the Southern Court of Liaoguo?" Tong Guan frowned slightly, and said with some puzzlement, isn't this the arrival of rescuers?
The facts immediately proved that Yelu Xiongge's concern was quite justified, because after this cavalry rushed to the front and found that Sibuda had been captured, and his soldiers and horses had already retreated, a burly man in his army had already shouted: "The tiger battalion listens to the order, and the general will kill the rebels and kill all the Song people!" ”
When the order was given, the cavalry behind him had already rushed over at a faster pace again, and they were completely unaffected by Si Buda's being taken hostage.
Yelu Xiongge also hurriedly ordered at this time: "Quickly send troops to defend the valley mouth!" After a pause, he followed again: "Xiao Dude and I have always had a disagreement, Sibuda dared to suddenly raise troops this time, it must have been conspired with him early in the morning!" ”
The two clans of the Liao Emperor and Empress have always checked and balanced each other, but here in Nanjing, because Yelu Xiongge has always been strong, Xiao Duande was unable to grasp the real power, and finally he could only bring troops outside to contain him.
Xiongge had long known that Xiao Dude had a grudge against him, but because he had an absolute advantage, he was not afraid of what he would do outside. I don't want to turn into elbows and armpits this time, when I was the weakest, Xiao Dude actually led the army to kill, so how could the other party let go of this great opportunity?
As soon as these words came out, Sun Tutong Guan and others were shocked, what is despair, what is desperate, this is it! Now there were two or three thousand rebels gathered outside the valley, and they still had only this manpower. And at the end of the day, they barely ate or drank anything, and they were already exhausted, how could they still hold on?
What's even worse is that they already had the hope of getting out of trouble and leaving before, but with this sudden change, everything was beaten back to its original shape.
The despair at the beginning is not called despair, only by giving you hope and then completely breaking it, can you really make people feel desperate!
At this time, it seemed that even God was going to feel desperate and sad for this desperate Liao and Song coalition army, the sky that was still bright quickly gathered dark clouds, rumbling thunder from far and near, and a heavy rain had fallen without brewing, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides who were about to clash were drenched in an instant......
