Chapter 895

Seeing that Tian Boyuan had seen through his thoughts, Du Changguo simply stopped hiding it and looked at him and said, "General Tian, ​​Sun Tu is not from my Yanmen Pass. What's the matter with you and me? What's more, you should have heard that he has made many enemies in the court. Tai Shi Cai, Tai Fu Liang, and Tai Wei Gao all regard him as a thorn in his side and wish he could get rid of it quickly. Do you really want to save him?"

If Tian Boyuan wanted to forcefully send troops to Sun Tu because of his respect for Sun Tu, then now, after hearing the names of several powerful officials in the court reported by the military officer Du, the last bit of courage disappeared. Although he was at the border, he still heard about some things in the court, and he knew that the other party was not exaggerating.

It is obvious that Du Changguo was determined to kill Sun Tu. If he sent troops desperately, he would not tell whether he could pass this level. The blame from those big men afterwards would not be something that a mere seventh-grade general could bear.

If he just took the risk to fight against the Liao army, Tian Boyuan was not afraid, but the threat from the court had already scared him. In the end, he could only ignorant of his conscience and dare not say another sound. However, his body was trembling, his fists were even tighter, and the guilt, anger and helplessness in his heart were intertwined, and he could not calm down for a long time.

When Du Changguo, who was standing by, saw that he did not speak anymore, even though his expression changed, he did not take it in his heart. He just smiled disdainfully and waved his hand to the soldiers guarding the pass that had just gathered: "What are you doing here when you stay here? Disperse quickly, guard Yanmen Pass well, and don't let the Liao people have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Although the soldiers were confused, they could only follow the orders at this time. After agreeing, the thousands of people quickly dispersed and Yanmen Pass returned to peace, just like nothing had happened.

When Du Changguo saw this, he was even more disdainful to laugh. These warriors really thought they could turn over? Even in wartime, even when they were in the border, he could still make the decision. As for an alien like Sun Tu, it would be better to let him die early, and it would be better to die at the hands of the Liao people, which would save a lot of trouble. And whether this matter would affect the war ahead was completely out of his mind...

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

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

A night passed, the sky was brighter and the new round of offensive of the Liao army at the foot of the mountain came again.

This time, they no longer just threw stones on the mountain like yesterday, but sent troops to follow him. Taking advantage of the fact that the Song army on the mountain was extremely passive by the stone thrower, thousands of cavalry quickly rushed into their own range, and then shot round after round of arrows up the mountain to continue to harvest the lives of the Song army. Then some people took advantage of this to suppress and rushed to the mountain, intending to open a gap in one breath, so that the Song army would no longer have the last little geographical advantage.

Fortunately, at this time, the Hu Ben Army finally broke out with the most courageous and fearless side. Even though arrows kept flying over their heads, they still risked their lives to push up under the leadership of Sun Tu and other generals, and fought fiercely with the Liao army at the edge of the mountain.

Fortunately, the Liao army was worried that it did not shoot stones after their own people climbed the mountain and attacked. This made the Song army breathe a sigh of relief. With the support of a strong bow and crossbow, and with two or three thousand people fighting with all their strength, they finally drove this group of enemies down the mountain. Although they killed two or three hundred enemies in this battle, the Song army itself suffered more casualties. In just half a day, five or six hundred people fell down, which was a heavy price.

"Zheng Ping!" With Sun Tu shouting, an officer who replaced Tang Feng as the captain of the guard came over. Although he was injured, his waist was still as straight as a gun, and even more light flashed in his eyes.

"How many of our Qingzhou army brothers can fight?" Sun Tu asked in a low voice when he glanced over the hill.

"Go back to the general, there are still 120 people to fight."

This time, a total of 300 Qingzhou troops came with Sun Tu. After only one battle, most of them went. But Sun Tu didn't care about the pain at this time and said, "Call everyone, let them prepare more torches except weapons, bows and crossbows, and follow me to go down the mountain later and burn those catapults."

Sun Tu's order was calm, and Zheng Ping's answer was simply: "Here!" After crossing his hands to agree, he quickly retreated and went to the back to order all the troops. These Qingzhou veterans were even more angry at this time and were full of energy. This time, they could finally fight with General Sun again. This was much more refreshing than being passively beaten before. Even if they died, there would be no regrets.

The movement here was not paid attention to by many soldiers of the Hu Ben Army. At this time, their morale was already extremely low. Some murmured to themselves, saying that they were determined to die, and some looked around, thinking whether they could take the opportunity to escape from this place. Some even had the idea of ​​surrendering to the Liao people. The morale of the army was almost collapsed at this moment. As Xiao Yanping said, as long as you fire a stone and shoot an arrow again, you can easily defeat the enemy.

After all, the Hu Ben Army followed Sun Tu for too short time. Although it had the shape of an elite soldier, it did not have the spirit of an elite soldier or the soul of an elite soldier!

Only Cao Yan and several other generals noticed Sun Tu's intentions. At the moment, they also stumbled forward: "General, do you want to go down the mountain and take a try?"

"Yes, only by destroying their catapults first can we have a glimmer of hope. I made a mistake in my judgment before, which made everyone fall into a desperate situation." Sun Tu admitted his mistake with a wry smile.

This can be said to be one of the few mistakes that Sun Tu made since he joined the army. However, the price of this mistake may be the annihilation of the entire army, and even his own life will be explained here. And the only thing he can do is to try his best to see if he can make a remedy.

"General, why not let the last general go on your behalf. This battle is dangerous. You are the chief general in the army. If there is any good or bad..." Cao Yan hurriedly persuaded, and at the same time, Wei Cheng and the others said the same thing, each of them wanted to replace Sun Tu.

But Sun Tu shook his head and denied the request: "It's over, we only have one chance. And I believe that if you charge in the battle, you can't compare to me, Sun Tu. Well, time is tight, don't say more. All you have to do is lead people to continue to stay on the mountain and watch me turn the world around!"

As Sun Tu said, he quickly turned around and met with Zheng Ping and other senior subordinates of the Qingzhou Army. They led their horses and rushed to the edge of the mountain. When they came to the mountain, they almost rolled on the back of the horse at the same time. With the shouts, more than one hundred cavalry had already sprinted at the same time, like a rushing tide, heading towards the front of the Liao army hundreds of steps away.
