Chapter 152 He was shot with an arrow!
A deafening roar, capable of shattering clouds and splitting rocks, resounded in the center of the battlefield.
Shang Ruyi felt a sudden darkness before her eyes.
At that moment, all the blood in her body rushed to the top of her head, and for a moment the surrounding sounds became very distant. Then, all the sounds rushed towards her like a tide, and her vision gradually blurred and then slowly became clear.
At the clearest point in her vision, she clearly saw that the longbow in the hand of the man standing in the center of the ten thousand Turkic army shattered after a flash of cold light!
That was the arrow that Yuwen Ye shot!
He actually shot an arrow and shattered the powerful bow in Ashina Shali's hand!
The arrow did not stop there; carrying its remaining force, it pierced Ashina Shali's head—
Everyone, including Shang Ruyi, opened their eyes wide at this moment, afraid of seeing the slightest thing wrong. Even the hand that was tightly gripping her wrist became cold and stiff at this moment.
Then, as everyone could see, Ashina Shali's body swayed on the horse, and his hands, which had been cut by the broken bow, covered his face with blood. In an instant, blood gushed from his face, and he fell backward!
"Khan!"
A mournful roar erupted from the 100,000-strong army, the sound shaking the heavens and instantly drowning out all the sounds of battle on the grassland and within Yanmen County!
Ashina Shali has been hit by an arrow!
The Turkic soldiers were thrown into chaos, their charge halted abruptly. They hastily turned their horses around and fled back. The Turkic soldiers in the city, though they hadn't yet witnessed what was happening, realized that the Daye Dynasty's reinforcements had arrived, their rear was cut off, and they were beginning to retreat. They understood that the situation was hopeless.
These people immediately began to retreat towards the city gate.
Their retreat ignited the morale of the Daye Dynasty soldiers, especially after seeing the enemy general wounded by an arrow. They felt this was a golden opportunity not to be missed, and the entire force shouted, "Kill!"
In an instant, the momentum was overwhelming!
Overwhelming momentum on the battlefield can be more decisive than sharp swords and ingenious tactics in determining the outcome of a war. When Ashina Shali was struck by an arrow, the war seemed to be over.
However, in Shang Ruyi's heart, it wasn't yet.
Her heart was pounding.
It wasn't because of the sudden victory, nor because of the relief of finally being freed from the predicament, but because, amidst the vast army, her gaze suddenly couldn't find Yuwen Ye!
Where is he?
Where is he now, after that arrow?
Where did Ashina Shali's whistling arrow fly this time? Did it hit him?
All these doubts came one after another, almost suffocating her. Shang Ruyi anxiously looked into the distance, only to see that the team that had just been in a V-shape suddenly gathered together. In the center of them, a figure suddenly stood up again, as if he had almost fallen down, but at this moment he had used all his strength to support himself again.
It's Yuwen Ye!
He's alright!
Shang Ruyi relaxed, feeling her blood start flowing again. Immediately, a strange heat came from her back, but she couldn't care less about that at the moment. She was overjoyed as she looked at the blurry yet familiar figure in the distance.
But the next moment, a splash of blood suddenly pierced her eyes.
Shang Ruyi was stunned. When she opened her eyes wide and looked closely, she found that although Yuwen Ye had propped himself up, his body was swaying, as if he was trying his best to suppress great pain. And looking at his body, she could clearly see blood gushing out.
The surrounding soldiers swarmed forward, desperately protecting him in the center!
He was hit by an arrow!
Shang Ruyi felt a buzzing sound in her head, and suddenly she couldn't hear anything around her. She turned around and was about to run towards the city gate, but as soon as she turned around, the heavy force on her arm pulled her back again.
This time, an even sharper pain came from her shoulder.
Looking back, it was Chu Yang. His face was expressionless, or perhaps there was no expression at all. Only his slightly red eyes were staring intently ahead, but his hands were tightly gripping Shang Ruyi.
"Let me go!"
At that moment, in her desperation, Shang Ruyi even forgot her place in the hierarchy and struggled in his grasp. But the more she struggled, the weaker she became. Then she heard Chu Yang shout angrily in a deep voice: "Your injury!"
"...!?"
Shang Ruyi was startled. When she looked down again, she realized that the arrow wound on her shoulder had reopened at some point. Blood seeped through her clothes and stained most of her back red. No wonder her hands were becoming weaker and weaker. The intense pain suddenly swept over her body like a surging tide, instantly engulfing her.
Shang Ruyi's vision went black, and she almost fainted.
However, she used her last bit of strength to turn her head and look at the completely chaotic battlefield in the distance.
Yuwen Ye...
Finally, as his figure disappeared into the dust kicked up by the army, Shang Ruyi fell into a deep coma. However, she seemed to smell that desolate, cold fragrance again, which enveloped her tightly amidst the chaos, but her heart had already wandered off somewhere else...
|
This coma didn't feel like a coma; rather, it felt like being imprisoned by darkness and exhaustion.
Shang Ruyi struggled incessantly, trying to break free from the confinement, while the excruciating pain continued to torment her, making her restless and unable to sit still.
She didn't know how long she struggled, or how long she was manipulated while unconscious, but she finally mustered up a little strength and managed to open her eyes.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I was immediately pierced by the bright light in front of me, and I closed my eyes again.
But in her ears, she could clearly hear Tushe'er's ecstatic voice: "Miss!"
Upon hearing a familiar voice, she became more alert and regained some strength. She slowly squinted her eyes, then opened them again, finally seeing her surroundings clearly—she was back in that room, lying on the bed once more. The doors and windows were tightly closed, but even the sliver of light shining through the window paper stung her eyes, causing tears to stream down her face.
Tushe'er, who was standing by the bedside, immediately took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her face, crying and laughing at the same time, saying, "Miss, you're finally awake."
"..."
"You've been unconscious for a whole day. If you don't wake up soon, I... I don't want to live anymore."
Hearing this, even though she was weak, Shang Ruyi let out a helpless bitter laugh: "What nonsense are you talking about..."
As soon as she spoke, she realized that she really had no strength in her body, as if she had died and come back to life. The wound on her back was still throbbing with pain. Tu She'er hurriedly said, "Miss, don't move around. The arrow wound on your back has reopened. If you move again, your arm will be ruined!"
Upon hearing the words "arrow wound," Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a jolt.
In the moment before she lost consciousness, everything suddenly became clear in her mind, and she immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at Tushe'er: "Where is Yuwen Ye?!"
