Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Fall of the Sandstorm
Shen Yi rushed left and right in the Western Xia army, and did not chase after a specific enemy, but only disrupted the entire military camp, fighting and leaving, and gradually led the Western Xia army to move in the northwest direction where the sandstorm came.
The Western Xia army outside the town shouted loudly, and people turned over on their backs, and it became a mess.
Ou Jingtian heard clearly behind the town, and according to Shen Yi's arrangement, he turned over a horse that had been selected early and rushed out from the town gate behind.
After besieging the town, the Western Xia army was indeed much less, and Ou Jingtian waved the Qibao sword, blowing gold and breaking iron, and was invincible.
The Western Xia Army was already stirred into a pot of porridge by Shen Yi, but without anyone noticing, Ou Jingtian quickly whipped up and went far away.
Liu Qingyun saw that Shen Yi was trapped in the Western Xia army on the city wall, but he didn't look back, it seemed that he was deliberately entangled with the Western Xia army, not only frowned tightly, but said, "What does Shen Yi want to do?"
He was so anxious that he stomped his feet, eager to jump off the city wall immediately to help Shen Yi, but remembering the responsibility of defending Qiongta Town, he didn't dare to move a single step.
Ah Yue also looked at Shen Yi intently, and then raised her eyes to look at the upcoming sandstorm in the sky, and suddenly shouted, "It's not good." ”
Hua Susu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Ah Yue didn't speak, her face had changed, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Shen...... Brother Shen wants to lure the Western Xia army to the sandstorm and die together!"
Liu Qingyun and Hua Susu immediately understood Shen Yi's strategy, it turned out that he did not hesitate to risk his life to attract the attention of the Western Xia army, in order to not only send the list, but also save Qiongta Town, and at the same time destroy the enemy.
Liu Qingyun scolded and was about to jump off the city wall, but was pulled by Hua Susu.
Hua Susu said: "Third brother, you must stay here, in case the Western Xia army wakes up to Brother Shen's strategy, becomes angry, and turns back to attack the town. Let me help Brother Shen. ”
Ah Yue said: "You can't go either, you don't know what the sandstorm is, and if you go, you will be sent to death in vain, or I will go." ”
She didn't wait to finish speaking, her waist twisted, and she had already jumped off the city wall lightly. What she thought in her heart was that instead of being painful and difficult to decide whether to leave or stay, it was better to accompany Shen Yi to die in the sandstorm.
Hua Susu was about to jump off the city wall after Ah Yue, but was pulled by Liu Qingyun hard.
Although Shen Yi has injured a lot of people, his internal strength has suffered a huge loss, and he has suffered several sword injuries on his body, and he spits out a mouthful of blood from time to time, but he is still brave, and there is not the slightest look of despair and fear on his face.
The Xiaolong in his hand also seems to have a strong will that will never be extinguished, and the blade is clear and dazzling.
Under the leadership of Shen Yi, the Western Xia army gradually moved away from Qiongta Town.
Although Shen Yi was brave, he was desperate to attack all the way, and he was already overwhelmed.
Gong Qianshan followed behind, and seeing that Shen Yi's move was far less powerful and swift than before, and his steps were sluggish and unsteady, he shouted with great joy: "Whoever captures Shen Yi alive will be rewarded." ”
The Western Xia soldiers echoed loudly, and everyone fought bravely to be the first, eager to catch Shen Yi with their own hands, not only to get a reward, but also to avenge the brothers who were injured under Shen Yi's hands.
Shen Yi only felt that the Xiaolong in his hand was heavy and abnormal, and his heart was even more anxious.
If Ah Yue missaw the celestial phenomena and misestimated the moment of the sandstorm, it would still be a small matter for him Shen Yi to die at the hands of the Western Xia people, but he was afraid that the innocent people of the entire Qiongta Town would fall into the hands of the enemy.
He was distraught and slow to dodge, and a single knife had slashed deep into his side, blood spilling with his turned body.
Just when Shen Yi was about to lose hope, the silent heaven and earth suddenly burst, and all the forces suddenly exploded, like a mountain torrent bursting the embankment, and a sandstorm swept away, like a roaring beast, swallowing angry flames, sweeping everything in its way.
Heaven and earth were trapped in this sandstorm, and the Western Xia soldiers ran away with their heads in their hands, but there was nowhere to escape. Surrounded on all sides by raging sandstorms, no living creature could escape except death and destruction.
Shen Yi was blown unsteady by the strong wind, and he barely stood up.
He had just taken a breath when a sharp sword stabbed from the side.
Shen Yi swung the Xiaolong to block, and before the blades could touch, the sharp sword had already hung down with all its strength. Looking at the person holding the sword, it is Gong Qianshan.
The other Western Xia soldiers had already been shocked by this violent wind and sandstorm, and they couldn't escape for their lives, so where could they care about pursuing Shen Yi again. But Gong Qianshan was bent on getting the list to repay the favor of the king of Western Xia, so he didn't care about his own life, just followed closely behind Shen Yi, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Shen Yi saw that he was at the end of his crossbow, so he just turned around to defend and fought with him, and did not fight back.
Gong Qianshan was half-lost, covered in blood, and there was still a single knife inserted in his shoulder, but he didn't seem to feel any pain. His eyes were blood-red, like madness, and he had only one thought in his heart, which was to defeat Shen Yi and win the list.
The wind rolled up a spear and smashed it straight at Gong Qianshan's head.
Gong Qianshan didn't even look at it, stared at Shen Yi and didn't let go, raising his sword and slashing indiscriminately, it was no longer a move.
Shen Yi blocked Gong Qianshan's attack on the one hand, but on the other hand, he leaned over and raised his sword to block the spear that smashed at Gong Qianshan.
When he opened the spear and shook his wrist, he realized that he had actually saved Gong Qianshan's life, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and almost slashed Gong Qianshan's long sword.
The wind is stronger, and the sand and dust cover the sky.
Gong Qianshan chased Shen Yi for a few more steps, suddenly stood still, the long sword in his hand slowly hung down, his face changed miserably, he looked at Shen Yi and said, "Shen ...... Shen Yi, you ...... You're not ...... ...... Out of the list?"
After he finished the last word, his eyes darkened, and he rolled over to the ground, and died of his injuries.
Shen Yi wiped the blood from his mouth, supported the ground with his sword, looked down at Gong Qianshan's corpse, and said with a wry smile: "I can't imagine that you are so persistent, don't say that I won't give you a list, even if I give you a list, do you think you can still leave here alive?" He felt a lot of thoughts in his heart for a while, and he couldn't say sad and compassionate, and said slowly: "You can't get out of here, and I can't get out of here." ”
He gasped hard, heard the sound of the wind in his ears, and looked around, only to see that the sky was full of stumps and weapons of the Western Xia soldiers who had been swept up by the wind, and the sand was all dead or wounded. The dead were mutilated and their faces were hideous and frightened, while the living were scarred and screamed and groaned.
When Shen Yi saw this tragic situation, he suddenly felt guilty, thinking that these Western Xia people who died tragically could be regarded as leading them to death for their own sake.
He already had the will to die in his heart, so he simply stopped resisting, sat down cross-legged, sheathed the dragon, placed it horizontally on his lap, closed his eyes, and waited for the raging and merciless sandstorm to bury him and his sword under the yellow sand.
It seemed that in just an instant, half of his body was buried in the raging yellow sand, and his breathing was becoming more and more difficult, but he suddenly felt that someone was tugging on his arm hard, trying to pull him out of the yellow sand.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of anxious and panicked beautiful eyes looking at him.
He was surprised: "Ah Yue girl, how could it be you?"
Ah Yue's hair was scattered, there were several wounds on her body, there were blood stains and dirt on her willow clothes, and there were also blood stains on her snow-white cheeks.
She found it all the way, how much hardship she had endured, only she knew by herself, seeing Shen Yi's tired and surprised eyes, she felt that no matter how much suffering she suffered, it was worth it.
The surprise in Shen Yi's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said, "Why did you come here......?"
Ah Yue suddenly smiled, this was the first time in many years that she smiled heartily.
Her smile is sweet and innocent, like a young girl in the prime of her youth, strolling through a flowery garden and meeting her longing lover, and from the bottom of her heart she sends out a smile full of good memories and longing.
Ah Yue's smile interrupted Shen Yi's words, and at that moment, he actually felt his heart skip a beat, that feeling, like in a warm spring, a continuous spring rain washed away the blood and tyranny of this sandstorm land.
Ah Yue said with a smile: "Brother Shen, Qiongta Town is very safe, don't worry, I'll escape from this sandstorm with you, right?"
She spoke in an innocent tone, as if she really thought of the sandstorm as some garden of birds and flowers.
Shen Yi looked at her in confusion, and suddenly understood.
It's not that she doesn't know the fact that she is trapped in a sandstorm and dies, what she really wants to say is: to go, to walk together, to die, to die together.
Under her gentle and beautiful smile, there is a particularly clear and brave heart.
Encouraged and moved by her, Shen Yi supported the ground with his sword, struggled to stand up, and said, "Okay, let's just try it and see if we can get out of this big sandstorm." ”
