Chapter 152: The Death of Shi Su
Deng Ai was only in a coma for a short time, and soon he was awake, his eardrums still buzzing, and his headache was splitting. Deng Ai got up and looked around, the dust and smoke covered the sun, and he couldn't see anything clearly ten steps away.
"Governor...... Du Du ...... a faint voice came from beside him, Deng Ai looked down and saw that it was Shi Su, half of his body was buried in the soil, his body was covered with blood, and he was weakly stretching out his hand to Deng Ai.
Deng Ai knew that if it wasn't for Shi Su who threw himself to the ground just now, he was afraid that his fate would be worse than him at this moment, Deng Ai felt endless gratitude in his heart, and reached out to pull him out, wanting to pull him out of the mound.
According to the size of the master and the depth of being buried in the soil, Deng Ai naturally added a little strength to his hands, but it was very light, Deng Ai used too much force, and couldn't help but stumble, almost didn't flash his waist, and looked at it, the lower half of Shi Shu's body had been blown away from below the hip bone, revealing half of Sensen's white bones.
"Shi Su-" Deng Ai's heart was crying blood, Shi Su was his confidant and favorite general, but he didn't expect to suffer a tragedy today. "Someone, someoneβ"
Deng Ai hissed and shouted as hard as he could, but no one answered at the moment.
Shi Su was constantly moaning because of the pain, and he said to Deng Ai in an extremely weak voice: "Du Du, Du Du doesn't want to die in the hands of the Shu people, Du Du give Shu a good time." β
"No, I can't let you die! Where is the healer? Where is the healer? Deng Ai roared.
Shi Su smiled sadly and said: "The governor doesn't have to bother, even if he can survive, he is just a waste." You can no longer gallop on the battlefield. It's no different from death. What's more, the Shu soldiers are about to counterattack. If the governor doesn't leave, it's too late...... Su Pingsheng has never asked for anything in his life, and this last wish will be fulfilled by the governor......"
Deng Ai choked back tears, slowly drew his sword, looking at Shi Su who was in pain when he was dying, Deng Ai aimed the tip of the sword at the position of his heart, and his hand, which had never trembled, trembled so much that he could barely grasp the hilt of the sword at this moment, he knew that this was Shi Su's last wish. If he really fell into the hands of the Shu people, it was likely to be even more unbearable, and life would be worse than death.
Deng Ai closed his eyes, and the tip of the sword pierced Shi Su's chest, piercing his heart with unmistakable accuracy.
Shi Su turned his back to the sky and smiled with a hint of relief. "Thank you...... Du ......" Before the word "governor was spoken, he tilted his head and died of anger."
"Ahh There have been countless defeats, but almost all of them have been wiped out like today. Deng Ai never fought.
Deng Ai drew his sword and slashed it on a mountain rock beside him, in order to vent the anger in his heart. With a golden roar, sparks splashed everywhere, and a corner of the mountain stone was crumbled away, and Deng Ai was also shocked to the point that the tiger's mouth burst out, and the blood flowed.
"Father-" An anxious cry behind him, Deng Zhong rushed over, and couldn't help but feel relieved to see that Deng Ai was safe and sound.
When the explosion occurred, Deng Zhong was leading his troops to follow him halfway up the mountain, and the explosion on the top of the mountain made him change color, because Deng Ai was on the top of the mountain, Deng Zhong rushed up the mountain desperately, frantically looking for Deng Ai among the dead people, but his eyes were full of half-crippled and wailing wounded soldiers in addition to the corpses, and Deng Zhong was about to go crazy.
Fortunately, Deng Ai was safe and sound, and Deng Zhong's hanging heart finally let go.
"Father, you're injured-" Deng Zhong exclaimed again, Deng Ai raised his hand, saw the blood flowing from the tiger's mouth, shook his head gently, and said, "It's not in the way." β
Deng Zhong swung his sword and cut off a piece of his battle robe, wrapping Deng Ai's right hand.
"Shi Shu is dead." Deng Ai sighed endlessly.
Deng Zhong was stunned for a moment, his attention was all on his father, he really didn't notice the master lying on the ground, Deng Ai said so, Deng Zhong looked down and couldn't help but be shocked.
Shi Su died a terrible death, both legs were blown off, and his body was completely skinless, which was very horrific to see.
Deng Zhong mourned in silence for about two breaths, although his relationship with Shi Shu was usually good, but at this moment he could only stay for him for two breaths, because the Shu army had already launched a counterattack, and it was getting closer and closer to their side, Deng Zhong only brought a few dozen personal soldiers when he went up the mountain, how to resist the Shu army with firearms and Yuan Rong crossbows.
"Father, let's go, the Shu army has already attacked." Deng Zhong said hurriedly.
Deng Ai was indifferent, staring at Shi Su's corpse, and ordered, "Bury Shi Su." β
Deng Zhong was in a hurry, it was this time, why was his father still thinking about a dead man, seeing that the Shu army was getting closer and closer, and if they didn't leave, they would enter the range of the Yuanrong crossbow. "No, the Shu army has already been killed, and it will be too late if you don't leave."
"I said, bury the teacher!" Deng Ai was furious, and said sharply with a pale face: "Am I still the general of Zhengxi?" Am I still your father? Is my order still valid? β
Deng Zhong was stunned, what happened to his father, he was usually an extremely rational person, but now he actually did such an irrational thing, Deng Zhong did not dare to disobey the order, and immediately ordered his own soldiers to bury the body of the teacher.
The Wei soldiers only have knives and guns, no hoes and shovels, and it is quite difficult to dig a large pit on the ground mixed with mountains and rocks where the corpses can be buried, but at this moment there is a ready-made big pit next to them, which is the stone mine left by the injured master, and if you dig it with a sword, it is a qualified tomb. The Wei soldiers carried Shi Su into the pit, and then retrieved his two blown legs and buried them together, and buried him with all hands and feet. However, they did not leave a grave, if they left a grave, they would definitely be dug up by the Shu army, and the master would inevitably end up with a corpse of two points.
"Master, let's go to the ground for peace, perhaps, taking you to the Yinping Trail is the biggest mistake." Deng Ai stood in front of the grave, looking at the handfuls of corpses buried by the general, and endless desolation surged in his heart. At this moment, he no longer seems to be a powerful general, but just an old man in his last years. Shi Su and tens of thousands of Yongliang soldiers who have followed him for many years are lying quietly on this land, Deng Ai has never experienced a sense of frustration, maybe his reputation will be destroyed on this lonely ancient road.
The Shu army was getting closer and closer, but fortunately, there were not a few Wei soldiers who fled down the mountain, the target of the Shu army's pursuit was not locked here, and Deng Zhong did not dare to stay any longer, so he left the top of the Jing army with Deng Ai and retreated to the bottom of the mountain in a hurry.
