Chapter 461: A Life (Part I)
The arrow came from the back, pierced the shoulder, and an arrow popped out in front of it, gushing out with blood. The Liao army was chasing after him tightly, and Chen Ao couldn't stop to treat his wounds at all, so he could only grit his teeth and endure and continue to gallop forward.
On the other side, Lin Feng's remnants of the defeated army were picked up by the people on the mountain, and they briefly asked about the situation. Lin Feng immediately led some of his men to turn around and come to support Chen Ao, while the others stayed where they were and built fortifications.
Chen Ao led the people, and saw a group of Song troops coming up from the mountain from a distance, and his spirit was greatly lifted, and he accelerated his speed to converge. But then the team will inevitably be more chaotic. The Liao army behind took the opportunity to shoot arrows, and even with the cover of the woods, they shot and killed hundreds of people on the spot.
Lin Feng caught Chen Ao and rushed to the top of the slope. The Liao army followed, and was repelled by a rain of arrows from the Song army prepared on the mountain. The black armor general put his hand up, and the Liao army listened to an arrow away, scattered in all directions, and surrounded Chen Ao and the others.
Chen Ao returned to the army and breathed a sigh of relief, and the pain in his shoulder suddenly came, making him gasp for breath. He glanced down the slope and scolded, "Who is that person, dare to shoot Lao Tzu!"
Lin Feng went down the mountain just now, took a look at the black armor general, recognized him, and said, "That person is Xiao Tzu Rin, the general of the Liao State!"
Chen Ao was taken aback, it turned out that he was Xiao Tzu Rin, the most outstanding general in Liao at present!
At this time, the military medical officer used a knife to cut off the shoulder of the arrow inserted in Chen Ao's shoulder, took a look, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not poisonous!"
Chen Ao was already in pain, but he was lucky to think of those soldiers who were killed by an arrow. He was about to turn his head and thank Long Qingping when the medical officer jerked the arrow out. Chen Ao exclaimed: "Mom-"
Long Qingping was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but chirp: "Go! Who is your mother!"
Chen Ao broke out in a cold sweat, where did he have the heart to joke, shook his hand and said, "No...... It's a ...... that hurts."
Long Qingping sighed, took out a small medicine bottle from her arms, and poured a little yellow powder into Chen Ao's wound. Her wound medicine was actually more effective than the doctor's medicine, and after a while, she felt a coolness from the wound, and it didn't hurt so much.
The medical officer bandaged him, and Chen Ao thanked the two of them first, and then asked about Lin Feng's situation. It turned out that Lin Feng led 5,000 men and horses to gallop to aid the Jing'an Army that day, and was encountering the Liao Army's East Route Army. The commander of this Liao army is also surnamed Xiao, and has a very strange name, called Guanyinnu.
Lin Feng had heard of this person before, and knew that it was powerful, so he did not rush into battle, but stationed down on the mountain. At the same time, people were sent to try to get in touch with the defenders of Jing'an. The two armies were fighting each other and supporting each other, but they also blocked the Liao army.
It's just that later the Liao army had reinforcements arrived, and it gradually became stronger. Lin Feng knew that he couldn't hold it, so it was convenient for the Jing'an army to join forces and prepare to retreat. Because the Jing'an army hoarded a large amount of grain and grass. Lin Feng knew that the Liao army had penetrated deep into the Song Realm, and what it lacked was supplies. So he poured fire oil into the warehouse where he hoarded grain and grass, and when the Liao army attacked, he ordered the whole army to shoot rockets.
The warehouse burst into flames, burning all the Liao soldiers who rushed into the warehouse first. It is said that Xiao Guanyin was also buried in the fire. It's just that later, the Liao army chased all the way, and not all of Lin Feng's people rode horses, ran and fought, resulting in heavy losses.
Chen Ao nodded, knowing that Lin Feng had done his best. If he had gone by himself, he would not have achieved the same record as he did.
In just a few moments, Xiao Tzu Rin had already ordered people to carry out two tentative attacks. It's just that Chen Ao's side occupied a favorable location and built trap fortifications in advance. It is not easy for the Liao army to rush up.
Xiao Tzu Rin repeated his old tricks and ordered people to set fire to the forest. He himself led people back dozens of steps, just waiting for the Song army to stand the fire and escape, and then he would fall into his trap.
As soon as Chen Ao saw the fire rising, he immediately ordered someone to cut down the tree and cut out a ring of isolation around it. The fire couldn't burn, but burned towards the Liao army.
Xiao Tzu Rin suffered from it and had to give up the plan of fire attack. But he also figured it out, as long as the surrounding roads down the mountain were blocked, this group of Song troops would be unable to escape. So he immediately ordered the army to camp in the same place, and he was ready to hold on for a long time.
Chen Ao held his right shoulder with his left hand, hissing cold air in his mouth, while watching the Khitan soldiers at the foot of the slope busy, secretly thinking in his heart, this Xiao Tzu Rin is patient, and he actually wants to consume Lao Tzu! It's a pity that he acted in a hurry just now, and he didn't even bring some dry food. How can it go on like this?
As worried as him, there are Lin Feng and others. While organizing defenses, they called people around to look for something to eat. But tens of thousands of people gathered together, even if this piece of product is abundant, it will be eaten completely.
After waiting for a long time, the Liao army never showed signs of attacking, and the sky gradually darkened. The Song army on the mountain was afraid that the Liao army would attack at night, so they did not dare to be careless, and sent several waves of sentries to keep an eye on the movements of the Liao army at any time.
However, until it was completely dark, there was still no attack. What is annoying is that the Liao army actually started an open-air barbecue at the foot of the mountain. They seemed to know that the Song army was short of food, so they deliberately roasted whole sheep one by one to the upper wind. The evening breeze blew the aroma of barbecue to the Song army's camp, causing everyone to swallow. I had no choice but to have a poor bowl of wild vegetables, and it was even more difficult to swallow at this time.
Chen Ao couldn't help but drop the bowl and scolded: "This surnamed Xiao is too deceitful!"
Zhao Ling sighed and said, "We don't have much to eat, let's think about how to get out of here." Xiao Tzu Rin surrounded three sides, and although there was no Liao army on the only side, it was a steep cliff. Where the hell are we going?"
Although Zhao Ling has always been calm and resourceful, he is inevitably a little flustered when he comes to this situation. Chen Ao didn't worry too much, because when he was in college, he also learned a little rock climbing, and as long as he had the tools, it was not a problem to go down from that cliff. He believed that with the well-trained training of the forbidden army, there must be a way to go down.
The question is, what is under the cliff and is there a way out? These questions are still unknown to Chen Ao. And if you want to go down from such a high cliff, you can't go too fast. And the Khitans must be keeping an eye on every move on this side all the time. If they find out their whereabouts, so many people will hang on the cliff wall at that time, they will become a live target, and I am afraid that it is possible for the whole army to be wiped out. Therefore, Chen Ao did not dare to take the risk and put forward this idea.
Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly heard a man shouting, "Stop!
Chen Ao Huoran turned around, knowing that it was a secret whistle cry in the woods. Everyone picked up their blades in unison. But I heard someone hurriedly shouting: "It's me, it's me!" The voice turned out to be Feng Hu who was sent out to find a way out!
For the first time, Chen Ao felt that the voice of this cold-faced man was so gentle and beautiful, and hurriedly asked someone to put down his weapon and let Feng Hu step forward. And he also greeted him, and said: "Feng Hu, Lao Tzu is unlucky enough, I hope you can bring good news!"
