Chapter one: Retreat from Tian Shui
(Jiang Wei's Pov)
The Battle had ended. Countless corpses lay on the ground as I stood on the Castle's wall. I had lost this battle. Hordes of Shu forces are coming directly here. No matter what happen, I will protect this castle from the invaders. My father had died trying to protect this place from the Qiang tribes and my mother had died from illness, leaving me alone in this world. Only this castle is left, I must protect it and my friends! I grabbed my Trident, ready to go for battle when my best friends and guardians thwarted me on the stairway.
Liang Xu: "Stop, Jiang Wei!"
Yin Sheng: "Please do not go out alone! You will only count your own death!" They begged on their knees and tried to pull my weapon away.
"What do you mean by that? Thousands of brave soldiers had lay their lives for me, why can't I do that for them?" I growled, refusing to listen to their advices
Yin Sheng: "Please calm down, rather than just charging into the enemies line alone, you can go to Chang An to request Cao Cao for reinforcements. We will try to hold off the enemies until then."
"That was a good plan. In that case, why don't you go in my place? I will hold off the enemies." I said.
Liang Xu: No, Jiang Wei, your father entrusted you to us before his deathbed. He wanted us to protect you like a father would to his son, so please go!"
"Aright…" I said in a unwilling voice. My guardians escorted me to the stable where only a warhorse is left. I mounted the horse and bid farewell to them.
"Liang Xu…. Yin Sheng…Thank you for all your guidance… You have been looking after me all this years when my father died. You are like my second fathers to me, please take care of yourselves, I will be back.
Liang Xu: Please be careful as well, Jiang Wei.
Yin Sheng: Farewell.Oh and take this."gave a sword engraved with blue dragons to Jiang Wei. "Your father used this before, he asked me to gave it to you when you are old enough to use it."
I observed this sword in my hand, it is sharp and has three blade on the tip of it, which is like my trident except that the sword is short in range. I carefully placed the sword on the belt around my wrist as my secondary weapon.
"Thank you." That was the last words I said as I rode to the back gate and look at my hometown for the last moment, then I set off hurrily for Chang An. (I had a bad feeling about this, I feared that I will never see them again…)
(At the Castle.)
The Shu forces are at the castle ground now, some are trying to get to the wall by ladder while other soldiers use the ram to knock down the gate.
The Wei forces countered this by throwing rocks at the soldiers on the ladder and others trying to shoot arrows at the peons using the rams. However the Shu forces managed to break down the gate and immediately rushed inside the gate like rushing water.
Two figures appeared at the gate armed with swords, they hacked and slashed at the peons rushing through the gate. Their swords are covered with crimson blood as more peons fell.
Liang Xu: "No enemies shall pass though here over my dead body!"
Yin Sheng: "We shall become your shield! Your wall!"
Both brave men continued to fight off enemies fiercely and did not show signs of backing down. Zhuge Liang, Prime Minster of Shu saw the fighting and praised the two men.
Zhuge Liang: "These two men, Liang Xu and Yin Sheng are brave indeed but we must take this castle. Order Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to take their heads."
The oath brothers rode to the gate and confronted the two men respectative. Guan Yu unleashed a powerful slash with his Divine Dragon at Liang Xu's chest. The blow was too powerful that both Liang Xu and his swords were cut into half even when he tried to block.
Guan Yu: " What a weak opponent!
Liang Xu: "Lord Jiang Wei, please…. escape."dies.
Yin Sheng turned around and saw his friend dead and yell in rage,
"Noooooo!" Yin Sheng became more furious and raised his sword to stab for Guan Yu's chest.
Zhang Fei: "GOTYA!" Zhang Fei grabbed Yin Sheng's undefended neck with one hand before he could stab his oath brother. He threw him toward Guan Yu who then unleashed another diagonal slash at Yin Sheng's head and cut it off accurately. The Wei forces were routed and the Shu forces entered the castle victorious. However while in the castle…
To be continued.
Fanofdynastywarriors: What will happen next? Will the Shu forces find Jiang Wei and force uh… make him submit to Shu like he does in the Novel or will he manage to get to Wei?
Anyway, I have not decided if there is going to be any pairing. I might or might not. So I need reviews. Please review!
