Chapter 125: Lu Bu releases water
The dozens of black-clothed men who came with Qu A were divided into two groups, one group was slightly behind, resisting the pursuit of the Xiliang army, and the other group quickly ran to the city wall, trying to open the north gate of Luoyang.
The western army guarding the city wall had previously been ordered by the king to shoot anyone who tried to approach the city gate. Hundreds of Xiliang crossbowmen bent their bows and arrows and shot at the black-clothed man who approached the city gate. Hundreds of sharp arrows whistled down from the city, shooting down on the dozen or so men in black.
As Wang Yue's chief disciple, Qu A naturally has his own unique swordsmanship. Seeing the arrows raining down on the city wall, none of these dozen people made a panicked move, and their gestures were all full of calm atmosphere, and they all danced their long swords to protect their bodies, and they accelerated their steps to run towards the city gate.
However, the arrow rain of the Xiliang Army was still too dense for a team of only a dozen people, and Qu A's men still suffered casualties. Several people were shot in the vital point, fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, and once the arrow fell to the ground, they were immediately shot into hedgehogs by subsequent arrows and nailed to the ground. Even the eight or nine people who tried their best to avoid the rain of arrows were all injured, and as long as the Xiliang army fired another volley, they would not be spared. These eight or nine people also understood the current situation in their hearts, and took advantage of the gap between the Xiliang Army bending their bows and arrows again, and accelerated their pace and rushed into the city gate hole, which is the blind spot of the Xiliang army's range, and if they hide inside, they don't have to worry about the arrows of the Xiliang army.
Qu A carried Ao Lie on his back, and took advantage of the short time of the adjustment of the Xiliang Army, and the meteor strode towards the city gate. After seeing Qu A's movements, the companions who were in charge of the broken were hurriedly separated from seven or eight more people to guard Qu A's body to prevent the Xiliang army from shooting arrows again. The rest of the people continued to resist the pursuit of the Xiliang army in the back.
"Shoot them with arrows!" A junior colonel of the Xiliang Army hurriedly shouted.
Hundreds of archers of the Xiliang Army hurriedly quickened the movements in their hands, quickly pulled out the arrows from the quiver on their waists, and then put them on the bowstring, and then aimed a little, and shot towards the city.
Qu A's heart was anxious, and he shouted: "Protect the prince!" The seven or eight people guarding Qu A's side danced their long swords one after another, and built an impenetrable sword curtain in front of Qu A and Ao Lie, without any regard for their own safety.
Puff - a series of sharp arrows into the flesh sounded. Because Qu A was unable to move with Ao Lie on his back, these companions guarding him, in order to protect Qu A and Ao Lie, could not dodge at all, so they could only grit their teeth and raise their long swords to dial the arrows that came from them, and the result was naturally conceivable, the dense arrow rain brought them great damage, and immediately two people fell to the ground with arrows and died of anger. The rest of the people were also wounded, but these people were also ruthless, snapping the arrows stuck in their bodies casually, and continuing to dance their long swords to strike the sharp arrows that fell on Ao Lie and Qu A.
Thirty steps...... Twenty Steps...... Ten steps, when there were still ten steps away from the city gate, the last swordsman who was guarding Qu A's side was shot by a stray arrow in the front door, and before he could snort, he fell. Qu A roared angrily, put down Ao Lie on his back, and then held him in his arms, minimizing Ao Lie's area of arrows, and at the same time straightened his back, using his back as a shield, blocking Ao Lie's body.
Puff puff - two sharp arrows broke through the body, and Qu A was shot in the back shoulder and under the ribs. Qu Aqiang endured the pain, gritted his teeth hard, and continued to run towards the city gate cave with Ao Lie in his arms, in order not to cry out in pain, he even bit his lips, and drops of blood dripped down Ao Lie's chest along the veil covering his face.
Ao Lie looked at Qu A's dripping blood, sighed and said, "Senior brother, why are you ...... doing this?"
Qu A didn't answer, and he didn't have time to answer, he only had one thought now, that is, to do his best, even if he lost his life, he must send Ao Lie safely to the city gate, because he knew that in the whole world, only Ao Lie can bring down Dong Zhuo, can care about the people of the world, and can support the Han family. It was under the support of such belief that Qu A had already given up his life and death, shielded Ao Lie from the rain of arrows with his back, and ran wildly under his feet, running towards the safety zone ten steps away.
The eight or nine swordsmen who had entered the city gate cave had already worked together to open the city gate, and after looking back and seeing the situation on Qu A's side, they were dumbfounded one by one, and ran out of the city gate cave desperately, ran to Qu A's side, and danced their long swords to cover Qu A.
Finally, Qu A ran into the city gate cave with Ao Lie in his arms, and as soon as he entered the city gate, Qu A couldn't support it anymore, and fell to the ground with a pop. At this moment, there were still five swordsmen who were behind him, and the rest had already been buried under the rain of arrows from the Xiliang Army.
Qu A took a breath, stretched out his hand to help Ao Lie, who fell to the ground and couldn't get up, and after removing the mask on his face, he said to Ao Lie with a look of shame: "Senior Brother Mohan, Qu A is incompetent, so he can only do this." ”
Ao Lie shook his head slightly, and said with some gasp: "Senior brother, planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, I am afraid that you and I will be buried here today." However, I am very grateful that you can lend a helping hand in times of crisis, and you and I will not be lonely on Huangquan Road. ”
It must be known that entering the city gate hole is only a temporary safety, if you want to run out of the city, you must also face the arrow rain of the Xiliang army on the other side of the city wall. Moreover, even if a few of them don't run out of the city gate, the Xiliang army on the city wall will come down sooner or later, and when the time comes, these people will drag their wounded bodies to hostile thousands of Xiliang troops, and they naturally don't have to think about it, and they can't escape the fate of swords and corpses, unless at this time, there is some miracle.
Will a miracle happen? The five swordsmen who followed Qu A's side thought silently in their hearts.
"Stop it all, wait for someone to catch the thief!" A majestic shout sounded in front of the city gates.
The Xiliang army on the city wall was already preparing to go down to the city to kill Ao Lie and the others, but after hearing this shout, they all paused and set their eyes on the general standing in front of the city wall.
The general on the horse did not wear a helmet, with two bright pheasant tails on his head, wearing a Xichuan red brocade flower robe, holding a very heavy Fangtian painting halberd in his hand, his face was full of unstoppable majesty, and he sat down with a red rabbit horse as red as fire. One man and one horse, the momentum is extraordinary.
Most of the Xiliang troops on the city wall don't know Lu Bu, and they don't know that Lu Dao Lu Bu is Dong Zhuo who has just joined the army, but these Xiliang troops know the Red Rabbit Horse, Dong Zhuo regards this horse as his life, and he is not a cronie around Dong Zhuo, so it is impossible to ride this BMW. And the BMW is psychic, if someone forcibly steals the Red Rabbit, the Red Rabbit will never bow down so much and let others gallop, it can be seen that this Red Rabbit BMW must have been rewarded by Dong Zhuo to Lu Bu.
Because of this, although the Xiliang army did not know Lu Bu, they still paused according to the words and continued to stick to the city wall, and no one walked down the city against Lu Bu's wishes.
Lu Bu picked up Fang Tian's painting halberd with his backhand, the tip of the halberd pointed obliquely into the city gate hole, and then slowly rode his horse over. After entering the city gate cave, Lu Bu lost the fierce aura just now, and the expression on his face suddenly became gentle: "Second brother, is it you?" ”
Hearing Lu Bu's voice, Ao Lie struggled to sit up, looked up at Lu Bu who was sitting on the red rabbit horse, at this moment, Ao Lie knew from the body of the red rabbit horse that Lu Bu must have left Ding Yuan this morning or morning and came to Dong Zhuo's side to protect Dong Zhuo.
said to Lu Bu in a slightly lacking voice: "Big brother, you are still on the side of the sword Dong thief after all. ”
Lu Bu shook his head slightly, lowered his voice and said: "Second brother, I didn't see you when I woke up last night, and Jia Wenhe under your command said that you didn't wake up from a hangover, and there was no suspicion at that time. Until early this morning, Ding Yuan reorganized the army and horses and suddenly wanted to attack Guo Yan's military camp outside the city, a certain felt that something was wrong, entered Luoyang today, and heard that someone assassinated Dong Zhuo with a single sword, and killed eight generals of Xiliang with the strength of one person, and also killed nearly a thousand Xiliang warriors, so he guessed that the person who assassinated Dong Zhuo must be you. ”
As he spoke, Lu Bu jumped off the Red Rabbit Horse, walked to Ao Lie's side, took out a small brocade box from his arms, opened it and handed it to Ao Lie: "Hurry up, this is a ginseng pill made of thousand-year-old ginseng, which is very beneficial to your current physical condition." ”
Ao Lie never doubted his brother, and certainly not his eldest brother. Without any hesitation, he took the brocade box in Lu Bu's hand, picked up the only pill in the brocade box and put it in his mouth. Seeing that Ao Lie still trusted him very much, Lu Bu laughed happily: "Second brother, this is not the place to talk, you and I will pretend to fight out of the city on foot later, and the defenders in the city will not shoot arrows indiscriminately with me." ”
Ao Lie suddenly grabbed Lu Bu's sleeve and said sincerely: "Big brother, you can go with so-and-so." ”
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head silently, sighed and said: "I know the thoughts of the second brother of Lu Dao, you are afraid that when Dong Zhuo dies, you and Dong Zhuo's jade will be burned. But second brother, you also know Dong Zhuo's kindness to a certain person, what would you do if it were you? Dong Zhuo is a thief in the mouth of others, but in the eyes of a certain person, he is a lifesaver, even if he is a thief, he will definitely protect him. ”
Hearing Lu Bu say this, Ao Lie couldn't help but be silent. That's right, if you change places and you are Lu Bu, you have received Dong Zhuo's life-saving grace when you were a child, and even if you find out that Dong Zhuo is a national thief when you grow up, it will be difficult for you to do it.
Lu Bu slowly stood up and said, "Second brother, rest assured, after a year, a certain person will definitely fulfill his promise and go to your army to take the blame and let you deal with it!" It's just that it's not the time yet, okay, it's time for you to get out of town. ”
Qu A helped Ao Lie to stand up, Ao Lie glanced at Lu Bu deeply, and his tone was full of concern: "Since the eldest brother has made up his mind, the younger brother is not saying anything, but the eldest brother is in the tiger's mouth and wolf's den, and he must take care of himself." ”
Lu Bu patted Ao Lie's shoulder with a smile and said, "A certain Zhilu Dao, the second brother can rest assured." As he spoke, Lu Bu took a few steps back, and slashed at the wall of the city gate hole with the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, making a loud noise, and shouted angrily in his mouth: "Good thief, he is really extraordinary!" Look at the halberd! ”
Ao Lie knew that this was deliberately made by Lu Bu to confuse the defenders on the city wall, and Da Lu responded with a smile: "A certain ten thousand armies come and go freely, how can I be afraid of you, come, let's fight for three hundred rounds!" At the same time, Ao Lie raised the Chixiao Divine Sword and slashed at the wall in the same way as Lu Bu, and also made a loud noise, and the sharp Chixiao Divine Sword cut down a large piece of the earth and stone on the wall.
Qu A, who was holding Ao Lie, also came over and beckoned the five swordsmen to walk quickly outside the city. Lu Bu pretended to chase and kill, followed behind Ao Lie and the others, and walked out of the city together.
Just as Lu Bu expected, the Xiliang army on the city wall saw that Lu Bu showed his might, and the killed Ao Lie and others were defeated and retreated, and their hearts settled down, and they were afraid that they would hurt Lu Bu by releasing arrows, so they stood still, just stood at the head of the city, watching Lu Bu and Ao Lie and others fight.
