Chapter 222: The Mantis Arm Blocks the Car

Everything seemed normal, no different from usual, but when Pi Lu came to the crossroads under the protection of the soldiers, there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.

Not for anything else, for he did not see even a living person in the sight of him. That is, there was no welcome from the local government, and no local Liao soldiers came to inquire about the situation, and even a Liao people could not be seen on the street.

It's clearly a dead city. The silence of the street made Pi Lu's brows wrinkle again and again, and then he said badly in his heart, and said loudly,

"Withdraw, first withdraw from Shimen Town." The long experience on the battlefield gave Pilu an ominous premonition, and it was only then that he reacted, and finally he was a little slow.

As if to confirm his thoughts, just as he ordered the army to retreat, countless figures suddenly appeared on the inns and houses around the crossroads, followed by more arrows shooting through the air towards the position where the Liao cavalry was.

It was completely a random shot without rules, but because the three thousand Liao cavalry were all gathered together at this time, such a random shot worked.

The ubiquitous arrows, the Liao cavalry was invincible, and soon there were bursts of screams of pain in the outermost periphery, needless to say, the Liao cavalry was hit by the arrow.

"Withdraw, get out." Everything that happened in front of him made Pi Lu's heart sink instantly, he didn't want to continue to be beaten passively, he wanted to rush out of Shimen Town, reorganize his troops and fight again.

But what he didn't know was that Su Shi had been waiting for them in Shimen Town for three days, and the town had also made preparations for three days, and now that they had come in, how could they escape easily?

The long-range attack of the bow and arrow was only the first wave of attacks, and the thistle terrestris that was thrown became the second attack, smashing Liao Cai's body.

Around the intersection of the crossroads, thousands of thistles were sprinkled out like this, which seemed to be quite orderly, and they were spread all over the ground in an instant, fixing the three thousand Liao horses here, unable to move.

The appearance of the thistle terrestris cut off the possibility of escaping on horseback, and the archers continued to release arrows, constantly harvesting the lives of Liao cavalry.

In a short period of time, at least hundreds of Liao cavalry were shot and killed or wounded because they couldn't dodge their bows and arrows.

What's worse is that those bows and arrows are like they don't want money, without the slightest intention of staying, and they are still breaking through the air, falling like raindrops on the Liao cavalry.

"General, what should I do? If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the brothers won't be able to hold on. Looking at this scene where they could only be beaten passively, several battalion commanders near Pilu said with fire-breathing eyes.

These are all the elite forces of the Liao State, all of them have fought in the border army, not only had friction with the Song army, but have been tested, and they are the elite veterans who have survived with the strong army of Western Xia.

The combat effectiveness of these cavalry has long exceeded their own numbers. It is no exaggeration to say that these 3,000 elite cavalry, when they reach the battlefield, even if they encounter twice or more enemies, they also have the strength to fight, but now, they have become the target of arrows, let others shoot them, and have no power to fight back.

Pilu's heart was also dripping blood, he hated Su Shi's shamelessness, and it was this kind of sneak attack. He hated his own carelessness, if he could be careful and send a group of scouts to enter Shimen Town first, then he would definitely find the abnormality, and there would be no current situation.

It's just that now, he is a fish and a knife, and it is meaningless to say anything. War is based only on results, not on means.

What he has to do now is to rush out with everyone, he can't beat the Su family's army, he can only think about reporting what happened here to the Liao army, so that they can avenge themselves.

"Dismount, everyone dismount, kick the thistle away, and fight your way out. As long as there is one person who can escape, the word must be spread. This Su Shi is in Shimen Town, right in front of us. Shouting in a roaring voice, Pi Lu was the first to abandon his horse, and under the protection of everyone with his saber in hand, he turned around and rushed out towards the gate of Shimen Town behind him.

The cavalry became infantry, and the Liao army gave up the advantage of speed, which made the iron thistles on the ground lose their original role.

But because their speed slowed down, the bows and arrows aimed at them could still shoot them to the ground, and soon the entire land of Shimen Town was covered with corpses.

Three thousand Liao troops, soon became two thousand, the root is one thousand, when finally rushed out of Shimen Town in the face of the rain of arrows, Pi Lu was not only hit by an arrow in the shoulder, but there were only less than five hundred people left around him.

And these five hundred people, all of them were embarrassed and panting, and it was obvious that their physical strength had been almost exhausted.

"Finally rushed out, immediately split up, as long as one person can survive, I must also report the matter here to General Xiao to know." Pi Lu looked at the only remaining Liao soldiers around him, and said without tears.

As pioneers, they are naturally the fastest. Speaking of which, the distance between them and the general Xiao Xiaoyou's department was only about a hundred miles.

This distance is for the elite cavalry, which can be reached in half a day. For most of the day, presumably the Su family army will not be able to escape far, as long as the army can really find Su Shi, then with the advantage of troops, it will be when Su Shi dies.

As soon as Pi Lu gave an order, the nearly five hundred Liao troops around him wanted to flee in several ways, but at this time, on the opposite side of them, some cavalry teams in black robes came from afar.

The speed of the black cavalry was very fast, and it almost took a moment to come to a mile in front of the five hundred Liao soldiers, and then he looked at them condescendingly.

The four hundred black cavalry that had just expanded was the strongest force of the Su family army led by Ji Zhu. Each of them has undergone a rigorous assessment and is composed of people who have killed countless enemies.

Even compared with the elite cavalry of the Liao army, it is only strong but not weak. The appearance of the black rider of the four hundred spirit dragons and living tigers brought Pilu a powerful sense of oppression.

They are all people who have been on the battlefield and made meritorious contributions, and they don't know how much blood they have on their hands, and they are very sensitive to danger.

As soon as the black rider appeared, Pilu had a feeling that it was difficult to deal with. If it was before, the elite he brought was still riding on a war horse, and he had enough physical strength, he would have wanted to fight with such an elite.

But now, the horses are gone, and the soldiers around him are a little out of breath when they are tired of walking, so what are they going to do to fight with these elite enemy horses in front of them?

Knowing that the appearance of these black riders was equivalent to cutting off all his retreats, Pi Lu's gaze quickly calmed down again.

"Hehe, only death. Brothers, let's go up together, kill one enough, even if we die, we can still be companions when we turn back to Huangquan Road. Pi Lu said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, and then he was the first to rush forward with a sword, and beside him, nearly five hundred Liao cavalry also let out a final roar and rushed forward.

"Mantis arm blocking the car." Looking at the performance of the Liao soldiers in front of him, Ji Zhu couldn't help but snort coldly, followed by a slight force on his legs, and the war horse rushed forward.

It was accompanied by a loud killing sound, and four hundred black horsemen rushed towards him. The black horseman's equipment was originally excellent, and he had been preparing for a long time, and he was full of physical strength, and the battle between the two sides was a one-sided situation, which could be described as a massacre.

Many black horsemen just rode by, wielding a knife at will, and when people borrowed the speed of their horses, a puddle of blood splashed out.

When the cavalry and infantry staggered, the ground was covered with the corpses of Liao soldiers, and Pilu was among them.

He was stabbed twice, one in the chest and one in the neck. The elite cavalry of the 3,000 Liao army all fell to the ground in this way.

From beginning to end, they didn't even hurt a single Su family soldier. If someone had told them before that they were invincible to the Su family's army, I am afraid that no one would believe it.

Now it has really happened, all of this is a good plan by Su Shi, and at the same time, he also took advantage of the arrogant psychology of Liao Qi, so that he has the current results.

Jizhu rode on his horse, wiped the blood from the steel sword, and then said to the other black horsemen: "Clean up the battlefield, strip off their uniforms, and find the official documents and talismans on their bodies." Also, this time, don't do anything about Jingguan, carry them to the big pit dug before, and bury them all. This is naturally also Su Shi's order. This time, he didn't go anywhere, let alone flee, but took the initiative to meet the main force of the Liao army, which really caught the other party off guard and took a big advantage. The advantage is to take advantage of it, and the battle is won, but then we have to take into account the retreat of the army. At this time, the clothes, official documents, and military talismans on their bodies were particularly important. With these things, Su Jiajun only needs to put two braids on the top of his bare head, and he can pretend to be the elite of the Liao army and walk away at will, without arousing the suspicion of others. By the time the Liao army felt that something was wrong, hehe, at that time, Su Shi had already jumped out of the encirclement, and he could go to find a new target. ...... No one knows about the great battle that took place in Shimen Town. Two days later, when the general Xiao Xiaoyou arrived here, he only knew that the town was already empty, and the people in the town were indeed scared away by Su Shi, but this was already six days ago. In six days, where will Su Shi flee?

"There's no news from Pilu yet? Send out scouts to find them immediately. Xiao Xiaoyou rode on the war horse and said with a displeased face.

He just thought that Pi Lu had found clues about Su Shi and chased after him. As for whether Pilu and they would be wiped out by Su Shi, of course he didn't believe it.

What are you kidding, don't you look down on Su Shi, does his Su family army have such strength?
