Chapter 45: The Six Arts
Because of the sudden encounter, the two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and no one dared to act rashly.
Sun Shao held Qi Shi tightly with one hand, as if Qi Shi would disappear as soon as he let go, while his other hand slowly moved to the long knife at his side.
Qi Shi withdrew his hand from Sun Shao's hand, gently took Sun Shao's bow, and pulled out an arrow from the quiver, skillfully placing it on the bowstring.
Sun Shao was slightly surprised, and Qishi smiled back at him, and then looked forward intently.
Childe, don't underestimate me, although my archery skills are not as good as those of the foot trainer, I have also practiced day and night. In the Huanglongmen, looking forward to the previous week, the six arts of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics are skills that must be learned.
The rain had not yet fallen, and the night sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and both sides were calm on the surface, but in fact they were secretly preparing, but it was not yet time to have a showdown.
The Jingzhou soldiers are waiting for backup, why don't the Lujiang troops expect someone to come to the rescue?
"Catch Zhou Xu!" Jingzhou soldiers finally couldn't wait for the follow-up increase in manpower, and it was a great merit to catch Zhou Xu, not only to be able to get rich rewards, but also to make a name for himself in Jiangdong.
The Lujiang army also shouted in unison, and there was no point in delaying it any longer, and the situation was extremely unfavorable to them. He is isolated and helpless, but the increase of the other party's number of troops will not be long in coming, and now there is only a desperate fight left!
Qi Shi raised his hand and shot an arrow, although the bowstring was not tightened, but such a close distance was also enough to kill, and the Jingzhou soldiers who were hit fell to the ground.
Sun Shao's expression was resolute, and he roared in a deep voice: "Ah Shi, follow me!" ”
Qi Shi understands that this is a critical juncture, and Sun Shao, as our general, must take the lead. And she will never give up with Sun Shao and fight together.
"Childe, I'm with you!"
Kiyo took another arrow, her voice was a little hoarse, but now was not the time to be delicate. If they hadn't been in good spirits, none of them might have been able to see the morning sun.
Sun Shao protected his body with a knife and rushed into the enemy formation with Qishi. Even Zhou Xu held a sword and joined the battle group.
For a while, the two sides were engaged in a desperate struggle on the flickering river beach, Qi Shi saw the gap, coldly sent an arrow, and cooperated with Sun Shao to attack forward.
Sun Shao became the arrow at the front, and only by disrupting the enemy formation could they have any hope of victory.
In addition to the sound of fighting and blades, Qi Shi's ears could also hear the butterflies shouting. She knew that it was already a very dangerous situation, otherwise Hua Die would never have deliberately raised her voice.
Another arrow was fired, this time only on target, but without strength. The arrow slid over the shoulders of a Jingzhou soldier and fell to the ground.
Qi Shi felt that her eyes were dark and she almost fainted, and she tried to keep her eyes open so that she could keep up with Sun Shao's pace.
The two of them had already penetrated into the enemy formation, surrounded by enemies, but fortunately, in this chaotic situation, the Jingzhou soldiers could not form an encirclement for a while.
A rumbling thunder rolled by, low and deaf, and the raindrops the size of soybeans crackled down. The rain suddenly increased, and the thick fog was washed away at once, and the night became much clearer.
The bowstring was soaked in the rain, and with the last of his strength, the arrow slipped and cut his fingers. The pain came from the heart, and she bit her lip tightly and said nothing.
The surrounding Jingzhou soldiers began to notice Sun Shao, and people kept greeting Sun Shao with their blades, and Sun Shao's pressure began to increase.
"Ah Shi, retreat!" Sun Shao shouted, and the long knife in his hand slashed through, opening a way for Qi Shi to live.
Qi Shi threw away the quiver, grabbed one end of the longbow, and waved it, she was still trying her best to guard Sun Shao's back.
"I'm not leaving." The two men were back to back, and at least five Jingzhou soldiers surrounded them.
has missed the opportunity to break through, but Qishi has no regrets at all. This sudden heavy rain neutralized the advantage of Qingyun soldiers in night battles, and the two sides fell into a melee.
Sun Shao gasped, his horizontal sword in front, his martial arts just now were amazing, deterring the Jingzhou soldiers who surrounded them.
"Childe, you're hurt." Qishi's hand groped behind him, but found that one of Sun Shao's hands was pressed tightly on his waist.
"Ashi, why don't you go!"
"Childe, I can't go now."
"I will ......" Sun Shao wanted to fight for Qishi again to get a chance to escape, but from the cheers of the Jingzhou soldiers on the periphery, it can be known that the reinforcements of the Jingzhou soldiers have arrived.
The Jingzhou soldiers who were originally in the melee broke away from the battle group one after another and joined forces with the reinforcements. Hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers, including Zhou Xu, everyone's hearts sank, could it be that they were powerless to return to the sky?
"The rain is stopping, the time is gone. We are at the end of the strong crossbow, and the Jingzhou soldiers are several times larger than us, in terms of the art of war...... Now it's a dead end. "Qishi is like he has given up resistance, he doesn't have half the strength, just leaning on Sun Shao's back.
Sun Shao couldn't accept this reality, he gritted his teeth and stood like a mountain, supporting the weight of the world.
"Ah Shi, cheer up, I'll take you out!"
"Childe, go by yourself, and keep breaking through to the north. I don't have the strength anymore, I'll just be a burden to you. ”
Sun Shao roared: "Nonsense! I've never felt like you're a burden to me! You said you wanted to win the world for me, how could you give up easily! He held the hilt of the knife with both hands and let out a long howl, venting the resentment and unwillingness in his heart at this moment!
Those Jingzhou soldiers subconsciously took two steps back, but soon showed a hideous smile. The trapped beast fights, there is no need to worry, with a woman, they believe that Sun Shao will not be able to escape.
Qishi muttered, "Childe, you're right. Our goal is the world, how can we give up? ”
Another long howl sounded, but it came from the north, and Sun Shao's heart was shocked. The voice is so familiar, it seems to be ......
"Wei Baohu." Qishi's voice was a little regretful, "Maybe it was delayed when I left the city, otherwise I should have arrived half an hour earlier." ”
Sun Shao also heard that this kind of howl like a ghost crying wolf was enough to make a child stop crying at night, that is, Wei Baohu, the general of the Qingyun Army, could do it.
Jingzhou soldiers showed an expression of difficulty in self-confidence, because their periphery was being broken through with the momentum of destruction and decay, and the original victory was reversed by life, and now the only thought is to escape.
Looking at the Jingzhou soldiers who were scattered and fled, Sun Shao said excitedly: "Ah Shi, you see, we have won!" But Qishi didn't answer, but his body fell, and he hurriedly turned around and caught Qishi.
Sun Shao's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he saw Qi Shi closing his eyes tightly, his face as white as paper, his body was weak and weak, and it was terrifyingly hot!
