Cunning General Si Ning Chapter 9

Advertisement

Their swords clashed and Si Ning could tell Shen Yu was a skilled warrior. He watched as Shen Yu got the upper hand and move to strike at Chen An's shoulder but Chen An was quick to somersault backward. Jumping down from his horse and slashed the hind leg of Shen Yu's horse which made the horse to lose balance and Shen Yu rolled to the ground.

Before Chen An could jump and slash Shen Yu to prevent him from standing up to regain his balance, Shen Yu met his sword before he could inflict any damage. For how heavy their swords clashed Si Ning could tell it was a battle of power and stability. This wasn't something he could handle. He doubts he had the power to even meet Shen Yu's sword without him losing his balance.

"Si Ning!!! Fight me!!!!" Shen Yu yelled as he overpowered Chen An, his sword pushing at Chen An's sword giving him space to extend his leg, and kicked Chen An on the stomach.

Hell no.

"Hell no." Si Ning had to voice his thought out as he watched Shen Yu jumped to his feet and slashed at Chen An's arm.

Shen Yu kicked Chen An sword away before giving Chen An a flying kick to show that Chen An was blocking his way and he had no time to deal with him.

It was quite hard for Si Ning to be concentrated on trying not to be hit by an arrow and the fight that unfolded before him. He watched as Shen Yu started running towards him and he almost gave a thumb's up to Chen An who was quick to recover and tried to chase Shen Yu despite his movement was a bit slow.

It was a relief for Si Ning to see Chen An on his feet but he had to concentrate on the man coming for him. Si Ning blinked only to see Ji Ran jumped out of nowhere to strike at Shen Yu but Shen Yu skillfully turned and met his sword.

"You will not touch our General!" Ji Ran yelled standing firm on the ground giving no room for Shen Yu to push his off.

"You insects just keep on coming... guess I will have to take your heads first!" Shen Yu seethed.

"Not if I take yours first!" Chen An jumped to pierce Shen Yu's chest only for Shen Yu to kick him off sending Chen An rolling on the ground.

"What the..." Si Ning took a deep breath hardly could he believe his eyes. Shen Yu was concentrated on Ji Ran but was able to send Chen An flying without losing his footing.

Shen Yu twisted his blade driving Ji Ran back and Ji Ran sprang forward so that the lower point of his sword slide along with Shen Yu's sword and drive towards his chest. Shen Yu's sword was forced to the side and he resulted in kicking Ji Ran off sending him towards Chen An that was trying to stand up. The collision almost made Si Ning cringe but surprisingly he was sitting calmly on the horse. His face impassive and pale, he wasn't making any move of fleeing.

The kick was a powerful good skill and Si Ning could tell Shen Yu trained his legs to produce such a result.

Not time to think but this was time to act!

If he race towards the camp. Shen Yu would chase after him and would cause a lot of casualties at the camp and what sort of excuse would he have to come up to defend himself and not appear as the General who ran from the front line.

It was quite difficult to act without thinking.

"Si Ning!!... fight me!!!" Shen Yu yelled.

Si Ning glanced at Ji Ran and Chen An who were now engaged in battle with some Xilie soldiers that wanted to prevent them from stopping Shen Yu from attacking him. Just in a blink of an eye, Shen Yu picked up a bow and arrow on the ground and he quickly draws the bow.

Does this mean this was his end? Not even spending a day in the new world.

Shen Yu released the bowstring sending the arrow flying straight at Si Ning but Si Ning was quick on his feet jumping down from his horse barely missing the arrow by an inch. He could tell he jumped down based on his reflex after he had thought he wouldn't escape the arrow.

Taking his time, Si Ning heaved a sigh of relief. It was something Si Ning wasn't familiar with but strangely he was too calm for someone who had faced a situation of dying twice.

Ji Ran jumped on Shen Yu along with Chen An whose arm was bleeding. They both tackled Shen Yu but Shen Yu still managed to kick Chen An away as Ji Ran slashed Shen Yu's knee. Shen Yu turned and kicked him off only for an arrow to hit him on his shoulder.

"Who?" Si Ning quickly turned to where the arrow came from only to see Su Heng drew his bow and released another arrow and it shot towards Shen Yu which hit his leg making Shen Yu lost his balance.

"Si Ning!!!!" Shen Yu yelled as Ji Ran kicked him hard on his head making him fall to the ground and he loses his consciousness.

Eish, that would definitely cause a concussion.

Si Ning released the breath he was holding as sweat slide down his face. Shen Yu was only a few feet from reaching him. He knew blood had drawn away from his face and his face was now whiter than a plain sheet of white paper but now he could check the progress of the battle.

"General Shen Yu!!!"

Three soldiers rushed at them but both Ji Ran and Chen An were able to deal with them.

"General Shen Yu has fallen!!!"

"Retreat!!! Retreat!!! Retreat!!!"

"Retreat!!!....."

Just as predicted the rest of Shen Yu's soldiers fled.

"General your command!" Ji Ran yelled.

"Do not chase them, we have their General!" Si Ning took a deep breath feeling mentally exhausted as he pulled off his helmet and walked slowly to Shen Yu who Ji Ran was tying his hands while Su Heng proceeded to tie his legs.

"Such cowards, we will never leave our General in the hands of the enemy. We rather die than see General Shen Yu captured." Su Heng commented.

"Why?" Si Ning had to ask. There would be a time where there would be no choice but to leave the General just like how the survivors of the Xilie army did.

"Because his....."

"Enough!" Ji Ran cut Su Heng off. "That is not the reason for me, Chen An or Ah Dai to protect General Si Ning. He is our General and we do not base our actions on selfish reasons or because we are commanded to do so also General is a great warrior and he would never leave us in a dire situation."

Si Ning knew he just did, using them as a shield but they would never know.

"You are right, I apologize General." Su Heng bowed.

Their discussion was confusing but before Si Ning could ask them to elaborate about who commanded them to protect him, his eardrums almost burst when Shen Yu yelled.

"Si Ning!!!...."

Oh.. what an old annoying man. Sleep already.
