Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 227 Flying General of the Han Dynasty!
Su Yun looked down at the hillside calmly. Under the cold moonlight, there were a dozen horses wandering around idly, sometimes eating grass, sometimes kicking their hooves, looking quite bored.

These horses were naturally not wild horses, but the mounts of the Tangut people. Their owners had already died from Su Yun's bows and arrows, and they were lying on the hillside, either lying on their backs or in postures that were difficult for humans to assume. Oh, perhaps dead people could do it.

So these people are probably dead.

While the Dangxiang people were busy chasing and killing the fleeing soldiers, Su Yun took the opportunity to kill seven or eight cavalrymen, and then he and Huo Yong led their men to run madly towards the low mountain.

Because there were seventy or eighty soldiers running together, they attracted the attention of the Western Xia cavalry, and they chased after them.

Su Yun rode his warhorse and maintained a distance from the Western Xia cavalry. If the Western Xia cavalry dared to get close, he would shoot them off their horses with an arrow, and the arrow would either hit them in the face or penetrate their chest.

After shooting down three or four in a row, the Western Xia cavalry no longer dared to get close, but stayed far away, waiting for the dozens of cavalrymen behind to arrive.

These cavalrymen who were shot down were the corpses that Wang Shunchen and others saw later.

This bought Huo Yong and others time to climb the mountain, and seventy or eighty people built a temporary defensive position on the low hill.

Then dozens of Western Xia cavalry came over to chase the defeated soldiers and gathered together, about fifty or sixty. After a while, dozens more cavalry came over, and all of a sudden there were more than a hundred cavalry.

Then there was nothing to worry about. At the leader's command, more than a hundred riders charged towards the low hill together.

Some of the Song army tried to escape again. Su Yun first drew his sword and killed two of them who were trying to run away, thus calming the situation. Then he looked down from above and shot them arrows one by one.

Huo Yong was a very experienced junior officer. Although he was in a hurry, he chose a good location. There was a protruding boulder with an upward angle. It was difficult to attack from below, but if you stood on the boulder and looked down, you could see everything.

With an ordinary light bow, the accuracy of shooting is only about thirty to forty steps. Beyond forty steps, it depends on luck.

If the arrow shot by Su Yun with the eight-capacity bow was on flat ground, it could accurately hit the target within sixty or seventy steps.

But when shooting from a high position, gravity helps, allowing Su Yun to still shoot accurately when he is at eighty or ninety steps.

More than a hundred riders charging upwards together made them sitting ducks for Su Yun.

So Huo Yong and seventy or eighty other people were all stunned to see Su Yun shooting arrows quickly and rhythmically. Every time an arrow was shot, someone would surely fall!
People who were close to Su Yun could hear the dull sound of the bowstring every time Su Yun pulled it. They knew it was a heavy bow, and a bow of at least eight or nine dou. Such a heavy bow could shoot arrows so quickly and with such accuracy. It was truly unprecedented!

Before, they were busy escaping and had no time to watch the duel between Su Yun and the Western Xia cavalry. Now they were hiding in the defensive position and could see Su Yun's actions clearly.

Those ferocious and invincible Xixia cavalry seemed so fragile and helpless under Su Yun's arrows.

At the beginning, several Western Xia cavalrymen were shot and killed, and some of them slowed down. The leader cursed loudly, and then rushed forward again. Then the dozen or so riders in front were shot down, and the cavalry formation slowed down again. Then the leader shouted loudly, led the charge, and was shot down by Su Yun with an arrow!
At this moment, there was a cry of fear among the cavalry, and they suddenly retreated quickly, leaving behind more than twenty corpses, and never dared to come up again.

"Brother Qi Ji, Brother Qi Ji!"

Huo Yong tried to shout.

Su Yun looked at Huo Yong and said with a smile, "Brother Qubing, what's wrong?"

Huo Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Don't tease me. Didn't you already know that my name is Huo Yong?"

After a month of getting along, the two of them actually became very familiar with each other.

Su Yun smiled and said, "It's fun."

Huo Yong said solemnly: "We are safe for the time being, but only temporarily. They will not give up. If they climb up the mountain from the other side and attack us from behind, we can't stop them."

Su Yun nodded and said, "Captain, then you take your men to guard over there. If they really come up from over there, you must notify me."

Huo Yong nodded and said, "What if we attack from both sides at the same time?"

Su Yun laughed and said, "It depends on whether you are willing to fight to the death. Although we don't have horses, we have the advantage of terrain. If you still don't dare to fight under such conditions, then everyone will just wait to die."

Su Yun's words were not meant for Huo Yong, but for the others. Huo Yong also reacted very quickly, immediately drawing his knife and shouting, "Is there any brave man who would like to go with me to guard the other side?"

"Yes! I'll go!" The old soldier in Huo Yong's team stood up and shouted loudly, "We have the advantage of terrain today, but on the other hand, we are also trapped!

Fighting hard may not lead to death, but not fighting hard will definitely lead to death. I don’t want to die, so I will fight hard!”

The words of the masturbating old soldier immediately aroused other responses.

(Actually, they are all Huo Yong’s subordinates).

"I am coming too!"

"I am coming too!"

People tend to follow the crowd, and many people stood up immediately, as many as fifty or sixty people. Now there were only about ten people left on Su Yun's side.

Huo Yong was about to rearrange things, but Su Yun said, "It's okay, I'm here."

Everyone remembered Su Yun's archery skills and felt relieved.

Huo Yong was about to take them over there to set up defenses when someone suddenly shouted, "They're moving!"

Su Yun immediately looked down the mountain, and sure enough, the cavalry team turned around and headed in another direction.

Huo Yong said anxiously: "They may be going to the other side, let's go and set up defenses!"

Saying that, he was about to leave.

"Wait!" Su Yun suddenly shouted.

Huo Yong turned around and asked, "What?"

Su Yun stared at the foot of the mountain and said, "There are reinforcements!"

Huo Yong quickly shook his head and said, "Impossible! We have no reinforcements! Although we don't know how many people Xia Gou has brought, no matter how many, we will focus on defending the fortress, even if Suide City knows that we have been ambushed.

Because this may be a trap, to ambush our team outside the fortress, then besiege it, draw out reinforcements, and annihilate them. Too many such things have happened before, so we can only rely on ourselves. "

Su Yun shook his head and said, "What if I were Su Yun?"

"Su Yun?" Huo Yong and others looked a little confused.

Suddenly, Huo Yong had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he asked in surprise: "Su Qinxia? Are you Su Qinxia?"

Huo Yong jumped up and shouted, "Yes, you are Su Qinxia. I heard that Su Qinxia is from the Song Dynasty. He is tall, handsome, and elegant!
Even famous prostitutes in brothels have to prepare red envelopes to sleep with you, aren't you so tall, mighty and handsome?

You are really Su Qinxia, ​​we are saved, we are saved!"

As soon as these words were spoken, dozens of people cheered.

Su Yun did not relax and said, "Don't be happy too soon. The reinforcements may not be that many. It is estimated that there are only a battalion of soldiers. It is impossible for Suide City to send out all the troops, even if I am the governor!

We are also a battalion, but we were ambushed by dozens of cavalrymen. Without knowing it, they may also suffer a great loss. Therefore, we must go down to help. Do you dare to go?"

Huo Yong was the first to step forward and said, "It is our duty to protect the governor, and I have no choice but to do my duty!"

Then he turned to look at the others and said, "The opportunity to get promoted, make money, bring honor to your family, and give your wife and children a title is right in front of you!

If we can escort Su Qinxia back to Suide, each of you will be rewarded with an official title and a bounty. Are you willing to fight for your future?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the fear on everyone's faces was replaced by greed for promotion and wealth.

There are not many chances in life to fight. Before, it was because I didn't have the opportunity, and if I died, I died. But now it is different. If I can really escort Su Qinxia back, just as Huo Yong said, promotion, wealth, honor to the family, titles for my wife and children will be just around the corner!
Then what are you hesitating about? Just give it a try!

"Done!"

"Su Qinxia, ​​we will do whatever you say!" "Yes, you are so brave, I believe in you!"

"Su Qinxia, ​​my name is Li Lin, and I am from Suide. If I die, I hope you can help take care of my mother, wife and children at home!"

"..."

Su Yun nodded, people’s hearts are trustworthy!
Su Yun said loudly: "Everyone, remember your companions. When we are safe, give me everyone's name. If you are still alive, I will apply for official titles and rewards for you. If you are dead, I will take care of your families for you!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded one after another.

Then Su Yun said: "Let's go, follow me to kill the enemy!"

After saying that, Su Yun took the lead and rushed down the hillside. When he passed a horse, he jumped on the horse and rushed down the hillside.

Seeing how brave Su Yun was, everyone's blood boiled.

Some of them have fought for many years, some for a shorter time, and some are new recruits, but it is rare to hear of a high-ranking officer who would rush to the front in a battle. What regrets would there be if you followed such a person and died?

Everyone followed Su Yun and rushed down the mountain like a tiger descending from a mountain.

Rushing down the mountain and through the woods, we heard the sound of a huge charge.

The Xixia cavalry was attacking a Song army of several hundred men.

Su Yun was the first to come out. When he rushed out, he saw the Western Xia cavalry using the same method again. They identified the location of the Song army commander and began to attack repeatedly.

Although Su Yun shot and killed forty or fifty Western Xia cavalrymen, there were still seventy or eighty cavalrymen left. When the seventy or eighty cavalrymen charged, the earth-shaking momentum was so depressing to the infantry standing on the ground.

It was just a charge, and the infantry formation in front was already dispersed.

There was no way. Infantry was at a disadvantage when facing cavalry, especially when supporting light infantry. In order to rescue, Qi Ying did not bring any heavy equipment such as crossbows and heavy armor. Therefore, he could not withstand the impact of the cavalry!
So Qi Ying's camp was dispersed in an instant just like Qi Xingwen's camp!
Su Yun now completely understood why the Song Dynasty army would rather watch the Western Xia soldiers wreak havoc than leave the fortress to fight them.

Because using infantry and cavalry to fight in the field is really disadvantageous!
Qi Ying shouted loudly, asking the soldiers to regroup as quickly as possible to fight against the Western Xia cavalry, but the soldiers were so frightened that they did not listen to Qi Ying and fled in all directions.

Qi Ying's heart sank suddenly when he saw dozens of Dangxiang people rushing towards him with grins on their faces. Qi Ying laughed miserably and drew his long knife from his waist, thinking, today is the day of my death, and this is where I will be buried!

Poor Wuding Riverside Bone is still a spring boudoir dream.

This is Wuding River.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Qi Ying roared, urging his horse under him, waving his long sword and charging towards the Dangxiang cavalry. Dozens of guards around him also roared loudly and rushed up with him.

The two pairs of cavalry collided with each other, and the men and horses were thrown to the ground, but it was obvious that Qi Ying's side still suffered a great loss. Just as they passed each other, Qi Ying took a glance and found that half of his personal guards were missing.

Qi Ying's eyes were red. Half of the personal guards who had followed him for a long time had died!
Qi Ying gritted his teeth and roared again, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the Dangxiang people!

The Dangxiang cavalry grinned fiercely, ready to wipe out Qi Ying's elite troops in one fell swoop.

Several Dangxiang riders gestured to each other, and this time, they would besiege Qi Ying and chop off his head!

Both teams charged forward.

But at this moment, there was a whooshing sound, and there was a heavy archer!
And there are people behind Qi Ying and behind the Dangxiang people!
Qi Ying was shocked, and the Dangxiang people were even more shocked.

Qi Ying was shocked because there were heavy archers behind the Dangxiang people, which was terrible!

The Dangxiang people were shocked because there were heavy archers in front, who must be the archers in the Song army, and there were heavy archers in the back, who must be the god-like heavy archer before!
Being attacked from both sides is dangerous!
The group of Dangxiang cavalry let out a startled roar and then scattered, leaving Qi Ying stunned for a moment.

All I heard was a series of whooshing sounds, and the sounds from the front and back echoed each other. I saw the scattered Dangxiang cavalry falling to the ground one after another, but those cavalrymen did not care about their companions and fled frantically on their horses.

Qi Ying looked behind him and saw that it was Wang Shunchen who was riding a horse and shooting quickly. As he loosened his grip again and again, some of the Dangxiang cavalrymen fell to the ground.

When he looked up at the opposite side again, he saw a tall figure dressed in the uniform of a Song army soldier, riding a horse behind the Dangxiang people, also shooting arrows one after another. The Dangxiang people in front were pierced through the chest by arrows and fell off their horses one by one!

When did Qi Xingwen's camp have such a powerful person?
This was Qi Ying’s first thought.

But then Qi Ying reacted: Is this Su Qinxia?
The snow was very white and the moonlight was very bright, but it was night after all, so it was difficult to see the face clearly. All he could see was that the man had a face as white as jade. Under the moonlight, he was riding a horse and drawing a bow. Qi Ying suddenly had a feeling: Was that the Flying General of the Han Dynasty?

Wang Shunchen and Su Yun were on the left and right, and the two of them rode their horses behind, chasing the Tangut cavalry along the Wuding River. They shot and killed more than a dozen of them, leaving only a dozen cavalrymen who ran fast, and they could no longer catch up.

The two of them then gave up.

Wang Shunchen rode to Su Yun's side and exclaimed: "Qian Xia, your heavy bow and fast shooting are better than mine!"

Su Yun felt like he couldn't lift his arm anymore. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "You use a one-stone bow, and I use an eight-stone bow. You shoot much faster and more accurately than I do. How come you're not as good as me?"

Wang Shunchen laughed and said, "I am a military commander, and you are a civil official. You are almost the same as me, which means you are much better than me!"

Su Yun smiled when he heard this.

At this moment, Qi Ying came riding a horse, and when he was still far away, he shouted loudly, "Is it Su Qinxia in front of you?"

Su Yun looked at Wang Shunchen, and Wang Shunchen quickly said, "This is Commander Qi Yingqi."

Su Yun bowed and smiled, "Thank you Commander Qi for coming to help."

Qi Ying almost cried when he heard this. His life was saved!

"Su Qinxia, ​​it's great that you're okay!" Qi Ying cried loudly.

Su Yun smiled again.

Then Su Yun immediately said, "Commander Qi, gather the defeated soldiers immediately to prevent the Tanguts from returning."

Qi Ying reacted immediately and ordered his personal soldiers to gather the defeated soldiers.

Su Yun shook his head upon seeing this. These soldiers had no will to fight. In fact, a few hundred people had an advantage against dozens of cavalrymen. As long as they could maintain a stable formation, if dozens of cavalrymen dared to attack the position, they would surely be defeated.

But these soldiers had no fighting spirit. Once they were rushed in, they immediately collapsed and could not even exert 30% of their combat effectiveness!
However, he did realize that although the Western Xia cavalry was powerful, they were not as invincible as the legend said. It was probably because the Song army was too useless.

After a month's experience in the military camp and today's battle, the Song army performed too poorly, but Su Yun did not feel depressed at all. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit.

You cannot control the strength of your opponent, but you can change the strength of your friendly forces.

If the Western Xia army is too strong, then there is nothing he can do. But if the Song army is too useless, then there is a lot he can do!
After Qi Ying arranged the task of gathering the defeated soldiers, he quickly came to Su Yun and said, "Su Qinxia, ​​let's set off immediately to the nearest fortress for temporary shelter. After the Xixia soldiers retreat, we will return to Suide City."

Su Yun asked: "What's going on with the Xixia army? Why did they suddenly appear here?"

Qi Ying smiled bitterly and said, "This cavalry should be a scout team. The main army is behind us. Now Qingbian Village has been surrounded. We must retreat immediately. Without the protection of the fortress, if we are blocked, we will surely die!"

Su Yun nodded and said, "Okay, you arrange it."

Qi Ying heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Su Yun would become high-spirited and want to do more things after winning a battle, but it would be easier if he listened to advice.

Qi Ying hurriedly led the way, and they went directly to the nearby fortress overnight. After some passwords, they finally entered the fortress.

As soon as the door of the fortress was closed, there was a sudden cry of grief, and the soldiers who had escaped death cried breathlessly.

Qi Ying was a little embarrassed when he saw this, and said to Su Yun: "It's too dangerous outside the fortress. We won't go out unless it's necessary. We scared them today."

Su Yun smiled and nodded, "It's human nature, I can understand it."
