Chapter 291 It’s Over, He Failed
Chu Xi was surprised that Tang Juncheng would jump down to save her.
But on the battlefield, one cannot be distracted, so he quickly gathered his attention and nodded slightly to Tang Juncheng to show that he understood.
She quickly glanced around. There were fifty or sixty people, but now there were less than eight left.
Among them, Chu Er, whose martial arts skills were second only to hers, was already covered in wounds, with blood oozing from his left arm, which shocked her.
Chu Xi moved sideways without thinking, then turned around and used his lightness skills to fly to Chu Er's side.
He held Chu Er with one hand and used the other to repel the enemy, and quickly led his men to retreat to the city wall.
"Can you still move?" Chu Xi glanced at the city wall behind him which was ten meters high.
Under normal circumstances, at her peak, it would be no problem for her to fly to the city wall with Chu Er.
But it was different now. She was exhausted, extremely tired, and had consumed too much energy. Even if she flew up by herself, it would take a lot of energy.
Can't bring one more person.
Chu Er looked at his left arm. He had been stabbed by Qi Jianshu before and was injured twice later, causing the bleeding to continue.
He said decisively, "Master, don't worry about me. You go first, and I'll be your stepping stone."
According to his judgment, he could see that his master was now over-exhausted. If he wanted to fly to the top of the wall smoothly, he must have something to stand on.
Chu Xi's eyes were slightly red. "With so many Western Chu soldiers, would I still be short of people to step on? Let's go together."
Everyone has selfish desires and is concerned about closeness to others.
She didn't even say a word to some of those Great Zhou soldiers.
But Chu Er was different. He had guarded Chu Xi day and night, and had experienced life and death countless times. Even when he died, he was thinking of himself.
Chu Xi couldn't just throw away such a loyal person like a rag.
Tang Juncheng fought and retreated. When he retreated to their side, he found that they had not yet climbed up the wall, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Why don't you leave yet?"
"He is injured and can no longer use Qinggong, so he can't go up."
Tang Juncheng looked at Chu Er with a complicated expression, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but soon more enemies came to them.
He didn't have time to speak and could only kill those people quickly.
Obviously, his lightness skill had not reached the highest level, so he was naturally not sure if he could take Chu Er with him.
"If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave." He urged Chu Xi and the others in an evasive manner.
"I'll take you upstairs." Chu Xi made a quick decision.
Chu Er, "Master, you don't have to do this. It is a great honor for Chu Er to follow you. I am not in vain if I die here today."
With him, the master's chances of flying over the wall would be greatly reduced, and the chance of successfully flying up would be less than 20%.
It was so dangerous that he would rather his master abandon him.
Chu Xi seemed to have predicted that Chu Er would rush out to buy time for them, so he grabbed him first and kicked the two Western Chu soldiers in the calves without saying a word.
He forced the two of them to kneel on one knee, and then he suddenly used the force to fly up, put his arm around Chu Er's shoulder, and fixed his eyes on the top of the wall.
Without thinking, Bian Hangqing ran to the place where Chu Xi and the others might be staying, and lay on the wall with most of his body stretched out.
He stretched out his hand, "Quick, hold my hand!"
Chu Xi did pull them together, but Bian Hangqing couldn't hold them together by himself, and he almost couldn't brake and fell off the city wall with them.
Han Yaojun, Han Ziyu and others ran over, lent hands and pulled people.
Seeing that they had gone up, Tang Juncheng immediately used the force to fly onto the city wall.
But this time it didn't go so smoothly.
The Western Chu side was well prepared. In a hurry, Tang Juncheng was shot with an arrow from nowhere, which hit him in the back, passed through his ribs and went to his abdomen.
This position avoided the vital points and also caused his original trajectory to become unbalanced, causing him to fall.
"General!" Tang Juncheng's personal guards shouted in grief upon seeing this.
The arrow that pierced Tang Juncheng's abdomen from behind was so sharp that the pain made him feel blurry.
He heard the guards' shouts, and regardless of his own injuries, he instinctively replied, "Don't worry about me! Don't come down! Violators will be subject to military law..."
Disposal.
Before he finished the last two words, he used his sword to stab the city wall fiercely, but his body slid down too fast and he was unable to stop for a while.
Until he was less than half a meter away from the ground, Tang Juncheng's body finally stopped falling at an alarming speed.
If he fell down at that speed, even with his internal strength, Tang Juncheng would not be able to avoid a near-death experience.
When Tang Juncheng's personal guards heard Tang Juncheng's shouts, their instinct to obey orders was already deeply engraved in their bones.
Therefore, after hearing Tang Juncheng's scolding, his right leg, which was resting on the wall, stopped abruptly.
As for Chu Xi, who was hanging and being pulled up, he was also exposed to the enemy's sight.
Seeing this, Qi Jianshu said nothing.
He was too lenient at the North Gate, so he missed opportunities again and again.
There is no need for morality on the battlefield, and it is common to be attacked from behind.
Qi Minsong glanced sharply at the archer who was aiming his arrow at Chu Xi's back, and shouted in a cold tone, "No one is allowed to attack Chu Jiang without my order!"
Chu Jiang is his.
Even if I die, it will only be at his hands.
The archer was frightened by Qi Minsong's scolding. He immediately let go of the bow that was stretched to its limit with the arrow already on the string.
As a result...tragedy happened.
The archer felt hopeless: It's over, he failed.
When Qi Minsong saw this scene, he clenched the reins tightly with his hands, as if he wanted to strangle him to death.
"you!"
Qi Jianshu advised, "General, showing mercy to the enemy on the battlefield is being cruel to yourself. Chu Jiang will not surrender. Saving his life will only cause trouble for us."
Qi Minsong knew this truth, he just... felt it was a pity.
"...never mind."
Archer, "?"
What does forget it mean?
Seeing the archer's confused look, Qi Jianshu reached out to him and said, "Give me the bow and arrow."
The archer instinctively obeyed the order and really gave him the thing.
"..."
That’s not right, why did he really give it to him?
Qi Jianshu did not explain, but just calmly took the thing.
Chu Xi on this side had excellent hearing. When he heard the noise behind him, he immediately turned his body.
The arrow brushed past her ear and scratched her left ear, but fortunately the wound was not deep, just a shallow scratch.
The bow and arrow were firmly nailed to the wall next to it, and almost... took Chu Xi's life.
When Bian Hangqing saw such a thrilling scene, he screamed subconsciously and almost lost his soul.
"Chu Jiang!!"
"Its white."
"Be careful."
Several voices mixed together, and it was almost impossible to tell who was shouting.
After all, the arrow just grazed his ear. Even though the wound was not too serious, the pain from the scratch still made Chu Xi feel a brief tinnitus.
She felt that the shouting voices seemed to come from the horizon, ethereal and unreal.
Chu Xi couldn't free his hands to check his ears, so he could only shake his head slightly.
Yun Jiyou's voice suddenly became clear, "Qibai, how are you?"
Chu Xi looked up and smiled indifferently, "I'm fine."
"Hold on, don't let go." Han Yaojun warned in a deep voice.
If you let go at this time, all your efforts will be wasted.
