Chapter 655: Outside the City Gate
Now the imperial city is full of forbidden troops, and it is very dangerous to break off, but the situation is urgent, and there is no room for any hesitation and hesitation.
Zhu Gongdao, two shadows followed closely and guarded the guards.
"Goose shape!"
Jia Ji let out a low roar, with ten shadows holding Zhangba spears flat, closely lined up in the shape of geese, and slowly retreated with Gu Caiying, but the geese-shaped array was not chaotic at all.
It is difficult to see a human figure three steps away on a dark rainy night, and you can only rely on the night sky or the shining electric light to detect the enemy's eastward direction, in this case the most afraid of chaos, the most afraid of the enemy and the enemy cannibalism, the array is the most effective defense, but also the most fierce attack.
Moreover, if you want to stop the forbidden army, on such a rainy night, you can't see your five fingers, and you can't rush forward, you will only fall into the forbidden army, make it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and make yourself confused.
Therefore, Jia Ji chose to retreat slowly, like a kite, letting the enemy rush over first, letting the enemy chaos first, and they always formed a line of defense to block the enemy's pursuit for Gu Caiying and her daughters.
In the rolling thunder, the Yulin army at the front of the run caught up.
"Kill!"
Jia Ji let out a deep sigh, and the spear in his hand stabbed out.
Immediately after the rain curtain, there was the screams and exclamations of the Yulin Army.
In this dark night, the Shadow's combat experience and consciousness are far stronger than those of the Yulin Army, not to mention that the Shadow uses spears with poles and feet, and more than ten spears are densely connected, and it is not the body that greets those Yulin Army in the dark, but the sharp spear tip.
The raindrops of beans hit their faces through the hat, Gu Caiying and Diao Chan took Queen Fu away, listening to the screams from behind, Diao Chan pursed her lips, there were too many accidents tonight, even if they were prepared, but Dong Cheng and the Son of Heaven's actions were still beyond their expectations, especially the murder of Queen Fu, which put them in danger.
It is very dangerous after the break, it is difficult to see in the dark night, and there are many forbidden troops chasing after it, even if Jia Ji and the ten shadows are elite, once they fall into chaos, there will be death and no life.
But they couldn't turn back, the faster they ran, the sooner they arrived at the upper west gate, the safer Jia Ji and Shadow would be after the break.
The screams behind became more and more concentrated, and the shouts of the chasing forbidden army became louder and louder, obviously there were many dead, but more forbidden troops chased after them.
Diao Chan and Gu Caiying stared closely ahead, here was still more than a hundred steps away from the upper west gate, where there were torches, and the silhouette of the tall city gate was faintly visible in the rain curtain.
Fast! Fast! And even faster! As long as you go out to the upper west gate and out of the imperial city, those forbidden troops are not afraid, and it is okay to feel dark in the familiar imperial city in the rainy night, and when you go out of the imperial city, the forbidden army is really blind.
In normal times, a hundred paces would be a short journey away, but now it is different, the rain pouring from the sky, and the knee-deep water on the ground, make it extremely difficult for them to walk, and the weaker ones may not be able to stand, let alone walk quickly.
Although they were dressed in robes, they could not stop the rain at all, and their clothes were soaked, and the rain flowed down their clothes, and their bodies were heavy. Under the force of nature, which is almost a natural disaster, man seems so small.
If it weren't for the sudden incident and the situation was critical, how could they choose this rainy night, and similarly, if it wasn't for the order of the Son of Heaven and Dong Cheng, how could those forbidden troops be willing to patrol the city on this rainy night.
Diao Chan didn't know that Fu Shou, who was carrying it, woke up several times and fell into a coma several times under the stimulation of the cold rainstorm, and tears flowed down her cheeks, which was indistinguishable from the rain.
The shouts of killing in the back became louder and louder.
Fifty steps from the Upper West Gate!
Thirty steps!
You can already see the torches lit under the castle tower.
Twenty steps!
Zhu Gongdao hurried to the city gate a few steps first, so as not to have a misunderstanding due to the unknown situation of guarding the city in this dark night.
Ten steps from the Upper West Gate!
At this time, dozens of shadows disguised as city gate guards rushed out from under the city gate, more than ten people were guarding the side, and the rest all rushed to the rear of Gu Caiying to meet Jia Ji and his party.
Gu Caiying and Diao Chan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and finally arrived.
Fluttershy and Arrow breathe a sigh of relief as they take care of Queen Fu and feel nervous as they run all the way, already with weak legs and feet.
Torches were lit everywhere above and below the gates to illuminate this side, and a fire was burning in the large brazier in the doorway on the side for heating.
Gu Caiying is the deputy commander of the guards beside Zhang Liao, guarding his family, Diao Chan is the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard, in charge of intelligence, and the second daughter is deeply trusted by the general Zhang Liao, coupled with strong martial arts, they are all famous in the Shadow Division. When the shadows under the city saw the two daughters, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took them to the fire.
Seeing Fluttershy carrying a man on her back, the trained Shadows don't squint. Don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, this is the basic quality of Shadow.
Even so, Gu Caiying was still very careful, and quickly touched Queen Fu's pulse and forehead by covering her body, and then her expression was slightly relaxed, and she instructed Diao Chan: "Take care of her, and go to pick up Jia Xiaozi." ”
Diao Chan nodded: "Master, be careful." ”
After Gu Caiying left, Diao Chan was waiting by the fire, their clothes were soaked, but they didn't have time to change at all, this is still not a place to stay for a long time, as long as Gu Caiying comes back, they will retreat immediately.
The time of a stick of incense seems to have become very long, and the shouting of killing is getting closer and closer, but nothing can be seen in the darkness, Diao Chan is worried but helpless, the rainy night provides them with the greatest cover, but it also adds too many variables, even the elite shadow, in the rainy night, can not exert combat power, life and death even depend on fate.
Diao Chan felt powerless, although she practiced martial arts by Zhang Liao's side in the past two years, she was more happy and satisfied, the tragic war in Guanzhong seemed to be very far away, and she didn't want the situation to change drastically overnight, it turned out that the stability of Luoyang in the past two years was so fragile, and she only relied on the general to maintain it.
Dong Cheng has always regarded the general as the enemy, but what does Liu Xie want to do, the general's great exploits and dedication to the court in exchange for such a frame-up, Diao Chan can't guess, she remembered the general's sigh, Tianzi Hui is more than enough and the amount is insufficient, originally she didn't understand, but now she understands.
It's just that she hated Liu Xie and Dong Cheng angrily, but she was more worried about the general in Yangzhou.
Just when Diao Chan was worried, Gu Caiying and Jia Ji returned, and temporarily escaped from the pursuit of the forbidden army under the response of the shadow. Under the firelight, they were covered in blood, and their faces were not very good, there were three shadows carried by their comrades, they were already dead, Diao Chan's expression was gloomy, she knew the rules of the shadows, and she must not leave the corpses of her comrades to the enemy, let alone in the sensitive situation of fighting with the forbidden army now.
"Evacuate all and get out of town as soon as possible! The commander is in front of the road, I wish the commander to break the back! ”
Jia Ji arrived at the city tower and immediately ordered.
The forbidden army was chasing very closely, and they couldn't stay here for a moment, otherwise they would fall into a scuffle.
At this time, I don't know how many forbidden troops chased after them, people have been saved, there is no need for them to fight a useless battle, every shadow guard is extremely precious, and they can't die in this chaos in a daze.
Squeak!
The city gate was quickly opened by a few shadows, and at this time there was already a shout from behind, just a dozen paces away.
Time was pressing, and Jia Ji should go out first.
Luoyang City is different from Chang'an City, Chang'an City has a moat, and Luoyang City is different, there is no outer city wall and moat, only the inner imperial city, they are out of the imperial city gate at this time, and they are directly open avenues after going out.
The night walker team was compact, and Gu Caiying and Diao Chan followed closely behind Jia Ji with Fu Shou.
Thunderclap!
A bolt of lightning streaked through the sky, almost overhead, illuminating the snow outside the city.
Jia Ji, Gu Caiying, Diao Chan, almost everyone who went out of the city gate changed their complexions in an instant!
Under the light of electricity, on the avenue outside the city gate, hundreds of figures were neatly arrayed, with cold spear blades, bright armor, and awe-inspiring momentum, which was by no means comparable to those Yulin Army!
The first person, nine feet tall, wearing armor, face like a heavy jujube, holding a long knife, is the tiger Ben Zhonglang Guan Yu!
Is this a former tiger and a wolf?
