A round of remnant sun was like blood, and gradually disappeared into the yellow sand and blue sky in the distance.

The last few families of Shurek also faded into the distant horizon. During the day, the Captain of Tangshan ordered that all Shule residents must pack up before sunset and go to Shule Mountain to take refuge.

The city defense of Shule is not impregnable, and the climate of Shule is even more perennial wind and sand, which makes it impossible to cultivate. Therefore, those who have been left behind, except for the thirteen horsemen of Tangshan, the garrison of Great Xia, are those border people of Great Xia who have nowhere to go at all. On weekdays, everyone helps each other, but they all have a tacit understanding not to inquire about each other's life experiences. A person with a clean background will never survive in this place.

Shule Mountain is a barren mountain thirty miles northeast of Shule City, which contains a refuge camp operated by Tangshan and Sha Lifei on weekdays.

Although Sha Lifei is a famous bandit in the Shule area, he is a hero with Tangshan, if it were not for Sha Lifei's intelligence, Tangshan would not have been able to retreat in front of a strong enemy every time, and when Sha Lifei had a short horse stirrup, Tangshan would also be willing to help.

In such a barren and proletarian land, survival is the first priority of all living things.

But after the appearance of the sandworm, all this balance was upset.

In the battle with the sandworms in the inn, Tang Shan's men sacrificed three people, Geng Zhong wanted to report the news, and now in the entire Shule City, including Tangshan, there are only nine Great Xia border soldiers left.

Moreover, Tangshan also knew that Sha Lifei was also wiped out by the sandworms, otherwise, Zhao Long would not have been borrowed by the sandworms to sneak into Shule City.

In addition, in the huge Shule City, there are only three people left, Jebecuo and Xiang Bei, who are injured in the leg.

Jebetso wanted to leave, but all the camels had already died, and none of the dart masters who fled for their lives were willing to take him with them, and they would rather not be paid for this dart walk, but it was important to save their lives.

Tang Shan told Xiang Bei, "My subordinates and I are brothers who have died, and I will not leave if I drive them out." I married Zhao Mei'er, and they wanted to avenge my sister-in-law, and besides, I was a Shule garrison, and I was in the city. ”

Xiang Bei nodded.

Tang San continued, "Everyone has seen that monster, there is no need for you to stay and be buried. It's better to leave as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, yes!" Tianmo on the side hurriedly echoed without knowing the depths, but he didn't want Su Su to be just behind him, and with a sweep of his legs, this thing sat on a solid ass.

"Brother Tangshan, I had a lot of misunderstandings about you in the past, and I hope you will bear with me if my words are inappropriate. I was a dying man, and besides, even if I escaped from Shure, it would only be a few more days of agony. ”

"Okay, brother, since that's the case, I won't be polite to you in Tangshan. Xiao Fei, go and bring us the good wine we left last year, let's have a good drink with Brother Xiangbei. ”

As soon as the superior daughter broke the altar seal, the room was suddenly overflowing with the aroma of wine, everyone gathered together, laughing, only Jebetso's face was blue for a while, and he was red, he saw that this wine jar was the one he was snatched by Sha Lifei last year, Tangshan This guy colluded with bandits, as long as this article is reported, I am afraid that this cunning captain of Daxia will fall to the ground.

Alas, thinking of the head falling to the ground, Jebecuo sighed, and also picked up the wine bowl handed to him, "Damn, where else to sue, according to Tianmo's speculation, the sandworm will be able to come back to his senses tonight, and he will come and completely destroy all the existence of Shule, and Tangshan, a man who has gone crazy, insists on putting the dragon descending tripod in Zhao Meier's room, and is determined to fight the sandworm to the death." ”

Su Su was standing next to Xiang Bei at the moment, since Xiang Bei said that he wanted to stay and see the ability of the sandworm with Tangshan, Su Su didn't talk nonsense anymore.

As with countless previous actions, Xiang Bei said to kill, and Su Su would open the bow, regardless of who the opponent was.

Tianmo, who had always wanted to persuade Su Su and Xiang Bei to leave, didn't want to be so much when he smelled the aroma of this high-grade aged wine, so he picked up the wine bowl and put his nose on it, took a deep breath, and shook his head as if he was already drunk. "Good wine, good wine. ”

It's really good wine, Tang Shan raised the wine bowl in his hand high, "Brothers, I don't have any other nonsense in Tangshan, only to do it first as respect." Your sister-in-law's bones are not cold, it stands to reason that I shouldn't drink, but after so many years, you also know that our Shule realm was originally a barbaric place, and you don't talk about so many worldly rules, and your sister-in-law is not an ordinary woman, she is here, and she will do this bowl with us, she is not there, so I will drink this bowl for her!"

"Big brother, we respect my sister-in-law. All the heroes raised their wine bowls together, and the wine bowls of the rough men poured sweet pure wine into their open mouths, and the Adam's apple jumped up and down quickly, but it was still too late to accept the speed of pouring wine, and a lot of clear elixir flowed down everyone's cheeks to the chest.

Xiang Bei had never drunk alcohol, and poured down a sip of strong wine, and suddenly felt that his throat was hot, almost out of breath, and then he was choked and coughed violently, which made the rough men on the side laugh.

Su Su hurriedly found a handkerchief and wiped off the wine spilled on his body for Xiang Bei. Tang Shan looked at Su Su with straight eyes, and inexplicably said the same words as Zhao Meier's last sentence before her death, "Brother, life is too short, don't miss ......"

Xiao Fei, the sergeant beside Tangshan, was already confused after pouring a few bowls, and began to coax when he heard Tangshan's words, "Yes, looking at your talented and beautiful women, it is better to visit the church tonight to get married, and our brothers can go and make trouble in the cave room." ”

Hahahaha, the people around laughed heartily, completely ignoring Su Su's blushing face as if he had drunk a strong drink.

Xiang Bei was just about to answer, and the floor of the room had already felt a slight vibration.

The liquor took away the sorrow in the hearts of these warriors, but it also inspired the infinite fighting spirit in their hearts. Everyone followed Tang San and poured the last bowl of wine in their hands into their stomachs, and Tang San pulled out his waist knife,

"Brothers, whether he is a man or a ghost, it is impossible to snatch Shule from us. We're going to show it, we're Shule, who has the final say!"

"That's right, Shule, it's our Great Xia garrison who has the final say!"

This group of fearless warriors took up their weapons one after another, wanting to get justice for the sister-in-law who died in vain and those brothers whose bones were not cold, and the same voice echoed in their heads, "Shule is a place where we have the final say!"

"In place!" Tang San gave an order, and the eight warriors rushed out of the room, each entering the eight pre-set directions, and the crossbow was erected, and the eyes that had been red by the liquor were tightly staring at the direction that the sandworms might attack.

The shaking from the ground became more and more violent, and finally, the ground in the courtyard of the inn was rolling, and several bulges began to move quickly towards Zhao Meier's room, Xiao Fei stared closely at the small mound that rushed towards him, silently calculating the distance and time in his heart, just as the mound was about to run to the place he had marked in advance, Xiao Fei lit the fuse in front of him with a torch.

The spark of the fuse jumped like a happy elf in the dark night, bouncing in the direction of the mound.

The time was calculated so accurately, at the moment when the spark and the mound met, just where Xiao Fei laid the mark, there was a loud bang, and the first thunder stone exploded when the mound was close to him.

The thunder stone half-buried in the soil exploded more powerfully, and a large hole several feet deep appeared on the ground in an instant, and the dust stained with blood plasma and minced flesh was blown into the air by the thunder stone, and suddenly the air was filled with a smell of gunpowder and foul smell of blood.

In the big hole in the ground, a thick sand worm body had been blown into a blur of flesh and blood at the moment, twisting its body and wriggling in the blood and mud.

At the same time, a rumbling series of explosions sounded, and the thunder stones lying in ambush around the inn house exploded one after another, and the smell of blood in the air became heavier and heavier.

The sandworms were blown away by the initial violent explosion, and after seven or eight sand dunes were turned into the sky, the remaining dunes quickly sank into the ground like fish diving into the water.

As if they had received some orders, these sandworms dived deeper into the ground, and without those hills that were bulging on the ground, the warriors lost the direction of the sandworms, and the remaining thunder stones could only be silent.

Everything seems to have fallen into silence again, in Zhao Meier's room, Tang San tore off a few strips of cloth from Zhao Meier's sheets, wrapped his arm holding the knife with the handle of the knife, and finally tied the joint tightly with his teeth, he has not fought for many years, so many years, Tang San has always thought that strategy and stratagem are the way to survive, and he even laughed in his heart that the previous Lord Duhu of Shule Town Government did not know how to be flexible, and just wanted to solve the problem by fighting.

Now, he finally understands that he has truly become Shule's guardian.

The sheep's horns against the tiger, the rabbit kicking the eagle, the odds are not great, but they have really lived.

Around the room just now, the dark thunder stones exploded, which made Tang San's heart more determined, Mei'er, whether you look at me or not, now you are my woman. No matter who it is, the woman who bullied me Tangshan, no!

......

Dozens of zhang away from the inn is the granary of the grain store Liu Zhang, and it is also the tallest building in Shule City. At this moment, under the rain eaves under the spire of the granary, there were the last four passers-by in Shule City, Xiang Bei, Su Su, Tianmo and Jebecuo. Tangshan branch them wanted to facilitate their own actions, and Xiang Bei chose here, first, considering that the road of sandworms is mostly underground, and the high place is naturally unfavorable to it, and second, the field of vision here is wide, which is convenient for Su Su Lingyu to play.

Jebecuo endured the pain on his body, gritted his teeth and followed behind Xiang Bei, saying that he could help Tianmo, but in fact, he thought that Su Su's spiritual arrow might be his last chance of life.

The smoke and dust from the explosion at the inn gradually dissipated, and the moment of tranquility made Xiang Bei and Su Su even more nervous. Su Su asked Xiang Bei in a low voice, "Is this sandworm also invisible, do you want to help me aim again?"

Tianmo on the side unexpectedly interjected, "No, no, this sandworm is the existence of our world, and it will not be invisible." ”

Su Su glared at Tianmo fiercely, but the old blind man had always turned a blind eye to this contempt.
