Chapter 137 Catch That Woman!
No one could have imagined that this grand tour would end in such an embarrassing and tragic way.
No, it's not over yet.
After the Turks burned the camp, they began to chase and slaughter them. Because they were attacked by a surprise attack, the people who traveled this time did not even have time to assemble into a team. Everyone fled from the camp in panic and ran southward.
This night, even many years later, was the most terrifying night in Shang Ruyi's memory and the night he least dared to recall.
Her ears were filled with all kinds of screams, exclamations, complaints, and desperate wails. These sounds even made her suffocate more than the blood spilled on her body before the people around her fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. During this period, the troops of the Daye Dynasty
We also assembled several resistances, but because it was too dark, the opponent's attack was too fierce, and the crowds of people fleeing were chaotic, they were almost unable to stop the opponent's attack.
Escape, they can only escape!
They couldn't see the road ahead, but they could feel the butcher's knife behind them approaching step by step with the smell of blood. Everyone became panic prey. Even before the Turks rushed up, they had already trampled and trampled countless people to death.
.
Bodies and blood stretched for miles on the road.
Finally, when the morning light broke, they looked up and saw the tall black shadow on the horizon ahead. It was the northernmost point of the Daye Dynasty, the last line of defense against the nomadic cavalry - Yanmen County!
The people running in front cheered: "Here we are, we have arrived at Yanmen City!"
"Run quickly!"
"You can survive if you enter the city, hurry up!"
A young man riding a horse in front couldn't help waving his arms and shouting: "Run quickly, let's——"
Before he finished speaking, an arrow passed through his throat with a whoosh. Shang Ruyi opened his eyes wide and watched helplessly as the young man's body stiffened. He only swayed twice and fell off the horse.
"ah--"
Everyone around them screamed in fright.
Shang Ruyi's face turned pale, and he looked back in panic. Behind them, he saw a group of Turkic cavalry galloping in pursuit of them. The small group of people was not letting go. Some of the fastest runners were waving scimitars in their hands.
, rushed directly into the fleeing crowd and killed them. Amidst the screams, several people fell off their horses and were trampled into a pool of flesh and blood by the rolling horse hooves; the cavalry running behind held bows and arrows and kept firing arrows at them.
, people around Shang Ruyi were shot and killed one after another.
At this moment, they were like prey being hunted.
Death is so close!
Cold sweat had completely soaked his close-fitting clothes. Out of instinct, Shang Ruyi hurriedly laid his body on the horse's back and clamped the horse's belly tightly. The horse galloped hard and saw it getting closer and closer to the gate of Yanmen City.
.
The arrows shot from behind flew past her body one by one. Even if they didn't hit her, the strong killing intent made her tremble.
Just when Shang Ruyi turned around again, she suddenly saw a bow and a quiver behind the saddle!
Last night was too chaotic. Mu Xian randomly brought a horse, and she also rode on it randomly. Only then did she realize that the horse was used for patrolling, and bows and arrows were their regular weapons for patrolling.
As if Shang Ruyi had found a treasure, he quickly picked up the bow and drew an arrow from the quiver.
And just behind her, the Turkic soldier who was pursuing the most closely saw her, a woman, picking up a bow and arrow, and immediately laughed. While laughing, he waved the scimitar in his hand and rushed towards Shang Ruyi on his horse.
He smiled ferociously and said: "I want to see what skills you have -"
Before he finished speaking, a cold light flashed before his eyes.
The Turkic soldier only felt his eye sockets heat up. Before he could react, his whole head was knocked back by a powerful force. Then severe pain spread from his eye sockets to his whole body. He screamed and fell off the horse.
.
When the people around saw this scene, they were all shocked.
Shang Ruyi held the bow in one hand and still maintained the position of shooting arrows in the other hand. His fingertips began to swell and become numb again.
Fortunately, fortunately...
At this moment, she just wanted to go back a few months ago to thank Yu Wenye who "used" her in the Taiyuan military camp. If it weren't for his provocation, she gradually became interested after competing with Huang Gongyi.
When I have nothing to do, I will shoot arrows at home for fun, and there is no chance of opening a way out with one arrow at this moment!
However, her arrow immediately attracted the attention of the Turkic soldiers behind her.
These people chased them all night and met little strong resistance. However, they did not expect that the delicate-looking woman in front of them actually killed the captain of their team with one arrow!
These Turkic soldiers immediately became furious, abandoning the fleeing people around them, and chased Shang Ruyi.
"Don't run!"
"I have to chop you into pieces today!"
Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, she wished she could go back to just now and slap herself hard for not knowing what the world was up to and taking out a weapon.
Just run with the large army and that's it. Now, even though he shot and killed a Turkic soldier, he attracted the attention of other Turkic soldiers to himself. Isn't this looking for death?
She didn't even have time to cry, but she didn't have time to think too much. Seeing these people riding their horses hard to surround her, she immediately drew an arrow with her backhand, lying on the horse's back and drawing the strong bow horizontally, although her fingers were already too nervous.
She was trembling, but the Turkic soldiers behind her were chasing her so closely that she didn't even have time to take aim. She fired an arrow and immediately hit the chest of the Turkic soldier who was following her closely.
"ah--!"
There was another scream, and the man rolled off the horse. The few people behind him rushed too fast and had no time to avoid it. The horse's hoofs suddenly trampled his tall body, causing him to howl miserably, and the horses also started to scream.
He tripped and fell to the ground, falling all of a sudden and blocking the cavalry behind him.
Shang Ruyi was overjoyed, turned around quickly, grabbed the reins, and galloped forward with all his strength.
At this time, under the tall city gate, the fleeing people were already like sheep being chased by wild wolves, desperately trying to get into the city gate. Shang Ruyi saw at a glance what the imperial guards led by Wang Shaoji had just escorted.
People entered Yanmen City.
That's... His Majesty the Emperor?
So he is safe now?
At this moment, a strange thought surged in Shang Ruyi's heart. It seemed a little regretful, but also a little lucky. Especially at that moment when the chaotic crowd entered the city gate, there seemed to be another familiar look, among thousands of people.
Zhong looked back at her, making her even more confused.
But at this time, it’s too late to worry about your own mood!
Although most of the people have entered Yanmen City, they have not yet entered. Moreover, the two arrows just now have completely angered the Turkic soldiers behind them. At this time, they gave up chasing and killing other people who were wandering and fleeing.
Like wolves smelling blood, everyone rushed towards Shang Ruyi.
Amidst the rolling crowds, the shouts of the Turkic soldiers resounded everywhere——
