Chapter 184: The Attack of the Dog's Fury (Part II)
(a)
On the eve of reaching the Danba Desert, your group of men made their final assault and encountered one of the bravest tribes of the Tibetans, a small tribe in number, but the best warriors, even an 8-year-old boy could get on his horse and kill the enemy. You weren't able to slip away smoothly and quickly. A team of more than 100 Tibetan men and horses is chasing after you.
In order to avoid danger in the case of unfamiliar geography, you ordered the rest of the Han army to quickly retreat towards the assembly site agreed with Wu Shun, and you led 50 guards to meet the enemy.
The 50 people you led soon fell into the siege of the Tibetans. The two sides fought to the death.
After slashing down more than a dozen enemies in a row, you're tightly besieged by dozens of enemies. You, who were already quite tired, began to feel powerless under such a fierce siege, and you were cut through the skin by the blade in succession, suffering two minor injuries and bleeding profusely.
At this very critical moment of life and death, you once again felt the intense dizziness of the world spinning.
You secretly shouted "it's over" in your heart, and at the last moment when you could still control yourself, you bravely stabbed 2 Tibetans to death, and fought a gap in the siege, and then you lay on your saddle in the severe headache that came from the roaring and the sky was cracking, and you leaped out of this gap and rode your horse into a stream.
The horses carried you across the stream and ran down to the wasteland on the other side.
Dozens of Tibetans, wielding long knives, are in hot pursuit behind you.
You can't control the direction of your horse in the midst of intense headaches and dizziness, so you can only hold on to the reins with all your might, clinging to the saddle bridge so that you don't fall off your horse.
Your war horse is out of control and is running alone in a strange Tibetan land. You quickly broke away from the battlefield and the guards, and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
On that day, a mysterious event happened that no one could explain. You have been rumored to have a god protector ever since. As a result, many people are even more convinced of the saying that you are descended from the gods.

After the war horse carried you out of the wilderness for some distance, you were gradually overtaken by the Tibetans. You're getting closer. You're in pain. You crouch on your horse's back in the dim light. Half of your body is numb, and you don't even know when the spear in your hand fell under your horse. In a trance, you are very clear about one thing: you are going to die this time.
The first Tibetan has finally caught up with your horse. His saber slashes firmly into the iron armor of your back, making a crackling sound of metal. Unable to hold on to the reins, you fell from your horse and fell heavily to the ground.
The impact cleared you up a bit. You fumbled for the saber at your waist, and you pulled it out with difficulty. When the opponent's second slash comes, you try to block in the direction where the sword wind is. The block causes the opponent's saber to change direction, and it slashes your scalp, but your knife also flies out of your hand.
You struggle to get up from the ground and draw your dagger. You only take one step forward before you fall to the ground in pain. As you fall, you throw your dagger at the enemy behind you. The man screamed and fell from his horse covering his eyes. With all your might, you crawl towards your horse, hoping to grab the reins and get back on your horse. At this time, the second enemy came like the wind.
You hear the sound of the horse's hooves behind you, and know you have no chance to run away. You give up on the action. You don't want to be killed from behind, you try to sit up and die with more dignity, but you can't do it anymore. All you have to do is roll over and fall to the ground on your back. You see the night sky above you as cool as water, and a crooked moon hanging in the middle of the sky.
Against the backdrop of the crescent moon, you see a second Tibetan man in view, he raises his saber, his arm arcing around the contours of the moon, and the shiny blade slashes straight at your head. At this point, you feel a sense of relief that you have never felt before, and you think, "Okay. It doesn't hurt anymore right away. ”
Just then, you hear a crisp explosion. Just when you think it's a hallucination caused by pain, you see the Tibetan man's head being blown open from within. Brains burst out. The astonished Tubo people reached out in disbelief and grabbed their brains. He stood in frenzy with his hands for a few seconds, then fell under his horse with a thud.
Then you see the figure of a third Tibetan figure appear, and there is another crisp explosion of the man's head. Then the fourth, the fifth, the sixth. You see the Tibetans chasing you one by one fall from their horses. One by one, they plunged into death, as if struck by invisible lightning.
Your headache seems to be split in half, and you say to yourself in your heart, "I'm dead." I'm seeing a vision of hell. "You feel like your head is going to burst like this. Before you lose consciousness completely, you see a great panic in the ranks of the Tibetans. When the tenth Tibetan was killed in this way, they could no longer control their panic. At the sound of a whistle, they turned around and fled.
You can't think in the pain of your bones. A dark cloud descends and envelops you. The world went dark in an instant. The sky, the crescent moon, and the Tibetan people have all disappeared from your consciousness. You fainted.

"Quick! It's him! There he is! "Wu Shun and the others finally found you.
He holds you unconscious in his arms. He checks on your injuries. Neither injury was fatal. He commanded the guards to bandage you to stop the bleeding. He calls out to you in your ear: "Wake up! Can you hear me? Wake up! ”
Under his repeated calls, you slowly open your eyes.
You look at Wu Shun. His face gradually became more contoured. You moved. Wu Shun helped you sit up slowly.
You say, "I'm still alive?" ”
Wu Shun said: "Alive." You just passed out. It's all safe now. “
He asked, "What do you think?" Is it a little better? Can you still act? ”
You say, "I'm fine, I can act." ”
You overcome a dull ache in your skull and struggle to your feet with the support of the two guards.
You feel weak in your knees and your body floating. With their help, you stand for a while and stabilize your mind.
You look better now.
"We found the spear you dropped, and judged that you were in this direction. Then we found your warhorse. Wu Shun said.
You reach out and hold your temple. You don't have a voice.
Wu Shun looked at you with a pain in his heart.
After a while, you put your hand down. You look at the 11 corpses of Tibetans on the ground. Wu Shun asks you, "What happened?" Who's helping you? You weakly say, "I don't know what's going on." They caught up with me and tried to kill me, but all of a sudden, their heads exploded on their own. I didn't see anyone else. ”
Wu Shun squatted down and examined the dead.
He pulls out your throwing dagger from one of the corpses.
He wiped down the dagger and handed it to you. He said, "There must be a god who will help you." ”
You slowly tuck the dagger back into its sheath at your waist. You say, "A person like me will only inspire the sword to add to the body, and will not move the gods to protect the body." ”
You say, "Bring the horse here." Since you are still alive, you still have to do what you should do. ”
