Chapter 211 He Failed to Do It
Being targeted.
Kan Shi knew that the chief general of Daqian, Zong Yanli, had killed countless spies from the State of Jin. Even merchants from the north were driven away, and some were even killed.
He still came here because he was confident that he could escape, or because he was lucky and well disguised and would not be discovered. He had never seen what the southern town looked like, and now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to take a look.
With his abilities, even thousands of troops could not stop him.
Having stayed in the city for so long without being discovered, Kan Shi was somewhat complacent and felt that he had disguised himself well.
I didn't expect to be targeted as soon as I left the city. I guess I had been discovered a long time ago.
Kan Shi was very annoyed, and he winked at Shu Ge. The two of them pulled the reins, and before those people could react, they rode out directly, running all the way towards the mountain road.
"They've been discovered. Go and inform the general." The soldier disguised as a vendor stood up suddenly and took two quick steps, but it was too late to stop them. He took out the whistle from his arms and blew it. The archer hiding in the dark drew his bow and shot the arrow without hesitation.
The hidden arrows were shot at Kan Shi, but he dodged them all. He bent down and almost lay on the horse's back, and rushed up the mountain road without hesitation, abandoning the main road he originally wanted to take.
Kan Shi originally thought that even if there were pursuers, they would only treat him as a spy, and the pursuers they sent would be nothing more than that.
but……
Just when Kan Shi had shaken off the pursuers behind him and entered the mountain path, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a firelight behind the gradually darkening sky. Those standing faintly behind the trees were enemy soldiers wearing armor and holding heavy weapons!
Kan Shi's pupils trembled violently, and his heart suddenly shrank when he saw this scene. His first reaction was: "There is a traitor in our army!?"
"Who is it!!!" Kan Shi suddenly clenched his teeth. The enemy actually set up such an ambush on his way back. It was obvious that the enemy knew his identity.
Sugar also found it unbelievable. They came here in secret and did not leak any information. Even if they were discovered by the enemy, they would probably only know that they were enemies but not their identities and names.
The Lu army had just arrived, and the two armies had only fought once, and that was just a duel between generals.
Kan Shi didn't even show up in front of the army, so the enemy couldn't have known about it.
And now...
Kan Shi didn't have much time to think. As he heard the shouts and screams, he saw the ambushers in the dark coming towards him in large numbers. An overwhelming rain of arrows cut through the night sky. Kan Shi lifted the cloth tied to the saddle and found a long sword hidden inside.
Drawing his sword from its sheath, Kan Shi swung it to block the rain of arrows while calming down and looking around to see if there was any way out.
This was a premeditated ambush, how could he be allowed to get away so easily?
Zong Yanli had the intention to kill, and this ambush was also very powerful. She knew very well how brave Kan Shi was, so she led the troops here in person. At this moment, she was standing on the top of the mountain, watching the flames burning in the valley below, and watching Kan Shi, who was trapped in the army formation, fighting hard.
"General! Look behind us!" Just as Zong Yanli was calmly directing the deployment, looking at Kan Shi's increasingly irresistible posture below, she thought silently, let her be a villain for once.
Suddenly, Sang Caijie's exclamation was heard. Zong Yanli turned around and saw torches suddenly lit up behind him. He was caught off guard when he saw the rocket coming out of nowhere. The enemy troops were coming to help! ?
When did Kan Shi send out the letter for help?
Zong Yanli was slightly startled, and turned back to look at Kan Shi who was still able to fight under the siege. His eyebrows slightly sank, and he turned to Wen Nian and said, "You go."
Wen Nian bowed his head and replied, "Yes."
Kan Shi originally thought that he still had enough strength to fight again. He was not a useless reckless man. He naturally had many soldiers following him in the army. How could he dare to enter the enemy's territory alone to play around without any backup plan?
Kan Shi had just raised his hand to block the oncoming sword when he suddenly saw the oncoming spear. The sharp tip was mixed with strong murderous intent. Kan Shi felt a strong bloodthirsty intent approaching. His heart suddenly sank. He ducked to avoid it, and when he turned around he saw the man standing in the crowd with a spear in his hand.
"You..." Kan Shi has had the ability to judge people since he was young. He never just looks at the face of a person, but looks at the person as a whole. So the moment Wen Nian appeared, Kan Shi recognized him immediately.
"Are you the general of the enemy army? Why are you surrounding and trying to kill me?" Kan Shi asked quickly, but Wen Nian had no intention of talking to him. He clenched the spear in his hand and attacked again.
Clang——!
The tip of the gun pierced through the blade, and the crisp sound was accompanied by tremendous pressure.
Wen Nian danced the spear in his hand so tightly that it was impenetrable. Kan Shi felt the vibration of the blade and his eyes turned red. With just this one move, he could tell that Wen Nian was no ordinary person. This was a situation of siege, so how could Kan Shi not use all his strength to deal with it?
Zong Yanli stood above, watching the two people fighting fiercely below.
With Wen Nian's entry, the numerous soldiers and generals around had no room to intervene and could only surround the two of them.
Wen Nian's spear power became more and more powerful, and Kan Shi did not give in at all. For a while, the two were evenly matched, until Shu Ge was stabbed and fell to the ground. Kan Shi saw it and threw the long sword in his hand over, barely blocking the sword for Shu Ge.
"General, go first!" Shuger covered his wounded waist and abdomen. He was covered in blood. Hearing the arrival of reinforcements outside, the sound of killing suddenly rose, as if a battle had begun.
"How could I leave you behind!" Kan Shi grabbed Shu Ge's arm, and the two of them stood back to back in an awkward situation, looking at the enemy troops who were surrounding them with serious expressions. On the other side, Wen Nian took a breath and came again with his gun in hand. Seeing this scene, Kan Shi felt like his scalp was about to explode.
For a moment, I actually had the illusion that I was really going to die here.
The moment the thought came to his mind, Kan Shi suppressed it. He took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and faced Wen Nian again.
Kan Shi was already showing signs of fatigue. Wen Nian attacked fiercely and without reservation. Kan Shi was unable to block the spear that was stabbing at him. The tip of the spear pierced his shoulder blade, and Kan Shi broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain. How could he block such a spear without armor!
"Kill!" The shouts of killing were approaching from behind, and the reinforcements from Lu State had arrived!
"Leedun!"
"General!?"
The cavalry rushed over and broke through Zong Yanli's siege formation. The heavily armored shield soldiers erected a shield wall to block Kan Shi directly. Kan Shi held a long sword in one hand and covered the wound on his shoulder with the other hand, and retreated behind the shield soldiers.
Wen Nian wanted to give chase, but he heard the order to retreat.
He clenched the spear in his hand and took two steps back. The two armies fought and retreated at the same time.
Zong Yanli, who was standing above, watched Kan Shi being helped onto the horse's back. With a slightly gloomy look in his eyes, he turned around and said, "Bring me the bow!"
She held her breath and drew the bow, the sharp tip of the arrow pointed directly at Kan Shi's back. She squinted her eyes and shot the arrow without hesitation. The arrow flew through the trees and headed straight towards Kan Shi, flying with great swiftness and piercing Kan Shi's back with incredible precision.
In the dark night, she did not see clearly whether the arrow penetrated Kan Shi's heart, she only knew that it hit him.
"What a pity." Zong Yanli lowered the longbow in his hand and a sigh escaped from his throat.
"General..." Wen Nian came back with his head lowered, clenched the spear in his hand and frowned slightly, as if blaming himself for not being able to kill Kan Shi. If he was given a little more time, he would be able to kill Kan Shi!
That shot was just a little bit off.
Wen Nian was a little annoyed and felt very guilty because he failed to do it.
Zong Yanli said calmly: "Nothing happened. Even if he didn't die, he was seriously injured."
There is no possibility for Kan Shi to participate in the war in the short term, but at least this buys our army more time.
Zong Yanli looked back at the ground below, but it took so much manpower to surround and kill Kan Shi. Zong Yanli frowned and ordered Sang Caijie to leave the battlefield, and then took Wen Nian and Gao Feilin back to the camp. As soon as he arrived in front of the camp, he saw Long Feiguang, Kuang Xingquan and others who had surrounded them.
The siege was so massive that they naturally heard it and came to inquire about the situation.
"Let's go into the tent and talk." Zong Yanli walked towards the tent. After sitting down, he told everyone about what happened when he entered the city today and met Kan Shi.
"It's a pity that we didn't manage to keep him here." Zong Yanli looked up at everyone and said, "But we didn't let him escape easily either."
Everyone shouted loudly upon hearing this, and were amazed at Zong Yanli's luck in encountering a big fish as soon as he went out.
Only Gongsun Pu, who was sitting next to him, was very confused: "How did the general recognize that this person was Kan Shi?"
Zong Yanli closed his eyes and said casually: "I drank with him and listened to him talk about his hometown and family affairs. I guessed from his words and set up an ambush to kill him based on the mentality of killing someone by mistake rather than letting him go. I drew my conclusion by observing the situation of the battle."
Gongsun Pu had never heard in person how Zong Yanli and Kan Shi talked, but now he was impressed to hear how Zong Yanli could get the words out so easily.
Only Wen Nian next to him raised his head in confusion. What kind of clichés?
He listened to the entire conversation between Zong Yanli and Kan Shi, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what could be inferred from that conversation.
Zong Yanli briefly explained the situation of the siege at that time, and after making a more detailed analysis of Kan Shi, he asked them all to go down, preparing to take the initiative to launch an offensive when the brave general Lu Bing was unable to fight.
On the other side, Kan Shi escaped death.
Zong Yanli's arrow failed to hit his heart, but it was enough to make him suffer.
In the Lu army tent, almost all the military doctors gathered around. Kan Shi was sitting on a chair, biting a piece of cloth in his mouth and enduring the pain of the arrow being pulled out. The moment the arrow was pulled out, the military doctor next to him hurriedly stepped forward to cover the wound to stop the bleeding.
"Who hurt you?" Seeing that Kan Shi was so seriously injured, Baines had no time to ask him why he left the camp without permission. He knew Kan Shi's abilities clearly, so who could have hurt him so seriously?
"I don't know him." Kan Shi panted and loosened the cloth he was biting. His forehead was covered with sweat. He looked up at Baines and said, "The man who fought me used a long spear. There seemed to be a Qilin beast tattooed on the spear. His spear skills were exquisite and powerful."
"Gun?" The first person that came to Baines' mind was Zhu Jin, but when he heard him say that the gun he used was a precious gun, he frowned immediately. The gun used by Zhu Jin was a silver gun, so they were not the same person.
Kan Shi lowered his head and took a sip of the tea that the person next to him handed to him, then continued, "The person accompanying him is a woman, disguised as a man, I don't know who she is."
Baines' eyes widened: "Female!?"
He suddenly asked, "Could it be the princess of Wuhuan? "
Kan Shi had never seen the Wuhuan Princess, and he was not very familiar with them. He frowned when he heard what Baines said. He subconsciously felt that the person was not the Wuhuan Princess. Although she was tall and looked like she had extraordinary martial arts skills, she did not look like a person from the north...
Kan Shi shook his head: "Not sure, maybe not."
"The one who has such ability to hurt you must be the enemy general. The woman walking with the enemy general is also dressed as a man. She must be the Princess Wuhuan without a doubt." Baines was so sure that he couldn't help gritting his teeth.
Baines continued to ask in detail how he was surrounded and killed. Kan Shi did not dare to hide anything and told him everything in detail. He started from the time he entered the city, talked about his meeting Zong Yanli and Wen Nian, and then briefly talked about the drinking and chatting.
As soon as they left the city, they were targeted and the enemy set up a siege formation to kill them.
Baines was worried for Kan Shi after listening to this. This was only Kan Shi's situation. If anyone else fell into that predicament, they would have died long ago!
"You take good care of your injuries. I'll have someone check it out." Looking at Kan Shi's injuries, Baines could only say that it was a good thing that he came back, otherwise the loss of a general like Kan Shi would have been a devastating blow to the State of Lu.
"You left the camp without permission this time. You should go and receive the punishment when your injury is healed." Baines sighed and could not say anything else. He turned around and asked the military doctor Kan Shi when his injury would be healed. Kan Shi was the trump card in his hand!
The military doctor briefly explained that Kan Shi was seriously injured in two places. One was the injury to his shoulder blade by Wen Nian's spear, and the other was the arrow in his back that almost shattered his ribs below. It would be difficult for him to recover in a short time.
The broken ribs in the body may not be completely healed...
This blow was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Kan Shi, and the military doctor could only try his best to find a way to set the bone.
The more Baines listened, the darker his face became. He wanted to scold Kan Shi. If he hadn't left the camp without permission, how could he have ended up like this? But he had to hold back. In the end, he told Kan Shi to heal his injuries well with a sullen face and turned away.
Kan Shi could see that Benes was very angry about this. That little bit of concern was not worth mentioning at all. He valued Kan Shi more because of his extraordinary martial arts skills. If it was any emotion, it was really not worth mentioning. Kan Shi knew that it was his fault this time and did not dare to say much.
But he really couldn't figure out who that woman was.
After leaving Kan Shi's tent, Baines turned around and went to look for Yi Tiangan. Perhaps Yi Tiangan would know the man with a gun that Kan Shi mentioned.
"Why are you in my tent so late at night?" Yi Tiangan hugged his beautiful concubine and was about to get intimate with her, but he was very unwelcome to see Baines coming.
"I have something to ask you." Baines glanced at Yi Tiangan.
Yi Tiangan waved his hand with a dark face and drove the beautiful concubine away from the tent. He gathered his clothes and said, "What important matter must we talk about today?"
