Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Strategy for Retreating from the Enemy

After getting off the city wall and on the way back to the inn, Liu Qingyun had been looking at Shen Yi's face all the time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Hey, what bad idea are you playing in your heart, say it quickly, I don't believe you will hand over the list." ”

Shen Yi smiled: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I'll tell you later." ”

While they were talking, everyone had returned to the inn.

Shen Yi took out the list from his arms, but handed it to Ou Jingtian, and said: "Brother Ou, when I go out to see Gong Qianshan, please dress up and prepare, wait patiently, as soon as the Western Xia defenders outside are noisy and chaotic, and they are negligent in taking precautions, please immediately take a healthy horse out of the town from the back door, and Miss Ah Yue will tell you the direction to avoid the sandstorm." His expression was serious, and he continued: "After leaving the town, please Brother Ou must hurry all the way and bring the list back to the capital as soon as possible and hand it over to Lord Yuwen." ”

Ou Jingtian looked at the list in his hand, then looked up at Shen Yi, his eyes were shocked, and asked, "Brother Shen, ...... you?"

Shen Yi said: "This matter is important, it is related to the safety of the country, and it all depends on Brother Ou. This time on the way back to Beijing, you will definitely encounter all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, please Brother Ou must be careful, no matter what, don't lose the list. ”

Ou Jingtian saw that he said solemnly, and thanked him for his trust, so he agreed: "Brother Shen, don't worry, the people are on the list, I, Ou Jingtian, am trying my last breath, and I will personally hand over the list to Lord Yuwen." ”

He didn't say much, carefully put the list in his arms, held the Qibao Sword in his hand, and went to choose a good horse with the disciples of the Moonlight Clan, just waiting for the time to come, and he could act according to the plan.

Shen Yi said to Liu Qingyun again: "Half an hour later, the big sandstorm is likely to come, please Brother Liu and Miss Hua to assist Miss Ah Yue to protect Qiongta Town, that is, to defend against sandstorms, but also to prevent the Western Xia army from taking advantage of the chaos to attack the town and injure innocents." ”

Liu Qingyun was suspicious, looked Shen Yi up and down, and said, "Do you really want to see that Gong Qianshan?" Okay, you go, I'll go with you." ”

Shen Yi shook his head and said: "No, as soon as Brother Ou and I leave, there is only one master left here, if you also leave, the strength of Qiongta Town is weak, and it is easy to be broken by the Western Xia army." Brother Liu, the lives of the people in this town depend on a few of you. ”

Liu Qingyun asked: "You don't have a list on you, how can you explain to Gong Qianshan?" When he sees that he doesn't have a list, he will definitely not let you go, and he won't let go of Qiongta Town." ”

Shen Yi's expression was calm, as if he had already made a bamboo in his chest, and said: "This is what I asked Brother Liu to do, we must hold Qiongta Town, and we must not let the Western Xia army break through before the sandstorm comes." As for me, don't worry, I have my own way. ”

He said it very surely, and several people looked at him with wide eyes, half-convinced, although they knew that he had always been witty, but they really couldn't think of how he could deal with Gong Qianshan and the five thousand Xixia elite soldiers.

Liu Qingyun was still not at ease, and suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "I remember, when the king of Guanbei left a few days ago, he didn't leave you a gold medal, saying that as long as you open your mouth, he will promise everything, why don't you use the gold medal to transfer troops with the king of Guanbei? This Western Xia people brazenly invaded the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and it should be the duty of the king of Guanbei to come and retreat from the enemy. ”

Shen Yi said: "This Western Xia army is lone and deep, it came so suddenly, and Qiongta Town is located in a remote area, and the king of Guanbei must not have been able to get the news in time." What's more, the West Road City, where the King of Guanbei is located, is not close to here, even if it is a quick horse, it will take two days to travel, and the time is urgent, Gong Qianshan will never give us that much time. Besides, Ah Yue Girl predicted that a great sandstorm was coming, and even if the army of the King of Guanbei could reach the town of Qiongta in time, they should not be allowed to risk the entire army being wiped out by the sandstorm. ”

Liu Qingyun thought about it and knew that his words were true, although he was still unwilling for Shen Yi to go out to face the Xixia people alone, he couldn't think of a better plan, so he had to stop talking.

After arranging everyone, Shen Yi sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

Half an hour came in a blink of an eye, Shen Yi stood up, his eyes were scorching, his face was calm and firm, and he first instructed Ou Jingtian to hide behind the town and wait to avoid the sandstorm from the southeast to break through. He himself came to the city wall with Liu Qingyun and others.

The dark clouds on the horizon had already rolled in, almost overhead, and under the dark clouds in the distance, the yellow sand was filled, and it was completely impossible to distinguish the boundary between heaven and earth.

Strangely, just like the previous sandstorm, the wind that swept the heavens and the earth suddenly stopped, and there was no sound in the surroundings, as if all the movements in the heavens and the earth had stopped, and even the dark clouds overhead showed signs of dispersing.

The Western Xia army outside the town was originally disturbed by the previous strong wind, and the army was panicked, and when they saw that the wind stopped, they thought that it was just a common weather change in the desert, so they did not care, reorganized their soldiers and horses, and then surrounded the town of Qiongta tightly.

But I don't know that this abnormal tranquility is that the ruthless desert is accumulating all its strength, preparing to launch a great sandstorm that is rare in a century.

Shen Yi walked to the city wall, looked back at Liu Qingyun, then at Ah Yue and Hua Susu, smiled slightly, and said, "Take care, everyone." ”

Without waiting for Liu Qingyun and the others to react and speak, he had already jumped off the city wall, stood firmly on the yellow sand, and without a moment of hesitation, walked towards Gong Qianshan on the opposite side step by step.

Liu Qingyun frowned and said, "What the hell is this kid doing, why do I always feel that something is wrong?"

Hua Susu was full of confidence and said, "I believe that Brother Shen will definitely have a good way to retreat from the enemy and will definitely be able to come back safely." ”

Liu Qingyun glanced back at her, rolled her eyelids again, and said, "Miss Huada, you can't blindly trust someone just because you like him. Shen Yi is also a human being, just like you and me, he is flesh and blood, and he will be injured and die. ”

Hua Susu said: "What can't die, you crow's mouth." Brother Shen will definitely be safe. Isn't that right, Sister Ayue?"

Ah Yue didn't seem to hear her speak, just looked intently at Shen Yi's figure under the city wall. Not only her, but Liu Qingyun and Hua Susu also stopped talking, and the three pairs of eyes looked at Shen Yi in the distance together.

Shen Yi walked up to Gong Qianshan and said with a smile: "Shen is already here." ”

Gong Qianshan was already impatient, and seeing him so calm, he was even more suspicious, and said, "Where's the list?"

Shen Yi still smiled and said, "Shen Moufang thought about it again and again, this list has a lot to do with my Great Song Dynasty, how can it be handed over to you Western Xia thieves?"

Gong Qianshan's face turned pale suddenly, and he shouted: "You dare to tease me!" Shen Yi, you are so bold, you dare to come out to see me without a list? I know you are not afraid of death, but you are not afraid that I will destroy the entire Qiongta Town?"

Shen Yi's smile was full of disdain, and he said, "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid that you will kill innocent people, so ...... I had to strike first. ”

After saying the last word, the smile on his face had completely disappeared, the light in his eyes shone like a sharp sword, and with the extension of his arm, Xiaolong was already unsheathed.

Xiaolong was like a dragon volleying in the air, and the dragon's groan resounded through the heavens and the earth, and it hit Gong Qianshan's chest like lightning.

Gong Qianshan was shocked, he didn't expect Shen Yi to say that he would fight, but it was too late to draw his weapon to resist, so he could only ignore his face and save his life, rolled sideways to the ground, and rolled on the spot a few more times before he dodged Shen Yi's sword, but he was already scared into a cold sweat.

Shen Yi was seriously injured, and his skills were much worse than usual, otherwise Gong Qianshan would have died?

Shen Yi forced Gong Qianshan back with a sword, did not chase after him, nor did he turn back and retreat to Qiongta Town, but rushed straight forward and rushed into the Western Xia army head-on.

Gong Qianshan got up from the ground, frightened, and saw that Shen Yi was bold, not only did he not retreat, but he actually rushed into the military formation, and he couldn't help shouting angrily: "Take Shen Yi and don't let him go." ”

Gong Qianshan didn't have to worry about Shen Yi running away at all, because Shen Yi didn't mean to escape at all.
