Chapter 125: A Thousand Miles Without Leaving a Line (3)
The dozens of black-clothed people who came with the synchronisation song 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 the capital.

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 the chief disciple of Wang Mi, Bu Qu naturally has his own unique swordsmanship. Seeing the arrows raining down on the city wall, these dozen people danced their long swords one after another, protected their bodies, and accelerated their pace to run towards the city gate.
However, the rain of arrows of the Xiliang Army was still too dense for a team of only a dozen people, and there were still casualties among Buqu's men. 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 those 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 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 rushed into the city gate cave like a speed, the city gate hole is the blind spot of the Xiliang army's range, hide inside, and don't worry about the arrows of the Xiliang army.
Buqu carried Yuan Qi on his back, and took advantage of the short time of the adjustment of the Xiliang Army, and the meteor who strode also ran towards the city gate. The companions who were in charge of Buqu after the break, after seeing Buqu's movements, hurriedly divided out seven or eight more people to guard Buqu'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.
"Hurry up and shoot them!" 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.
Buqu was in a hurry, and shouted: "Protect the prince!" The seven or eight people who were guarding Buqu's side danced their long swords one after another, and built an impenetrable sword curtain in front of Buqu and Yuan Qi, without any regard for their own safety.
Puff - a series of sharp arrows into the flesh sounded. Because Buqu was unable to move with Yuan Qi on his back, these companions guarding him, in order to protect Buqu and Yuan Qi, 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 injured, but these people were also ruthless, casually breaking the arrows inserted in their bodies, and continuing to dance their long swords to strike the sharp arrows that fell towards Yuan Qi and Buqu.
Thirty steps...... Twenty Steps...... Ten steps, when there were still ten steps away from the city gate, the last swordsman guarding Buqu's side was shot in the face by a stray arrow, and before he could snort, he fell. Buqu roared angrily, put down Yuan Qi on his back, and then held him in his arms, minimizing Yuan Qi's area of receiving arrows, and at the same time straightened his back, using his back as a shield, blocking Yuan Qi in front of him.
Puff puff puff - two sharp arrows broke through the body, and one arrow was shot in each of the back shoulders and under the ribs. Buqu endured the pain, gritted his teeth hard, and continued to run towards the city gate cave with Yuan Qi in his arms, in order not to cry out in pain, he even bit his lips, and a drop of blood dripped down Yuan Qi's chest along the veil covering his face.
Yuan Qi looked at the blood dripping from Buqu, sighed and said, "Senior brother, why are you ...... doing this?"
Buqu 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 Yuan Qi safely to the city gate cave, under the support of such a belief, Buqu has given up life and death, with his back to cover Yuan Qi from the rain of arrows, and his feet are running wildly, running towards the safety zone ten steps away.
Several 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 Buqu's side, they were dumbfounded one by one, and ran out of the city gate cave desperately, ran to Buqu's side, and danced their long swords to cover Buqu.
Finally, Buqu ran into the city gate cave with Yuan Qi in his arms, and as soon as he entered the city gate, Buqu could no longer support it, and fell to the ground with a pop. At this moment, there were still the last five swordsmen following him, and the rest had already been buried under the rain of arrows from the Xiliang Army.
Buqu took a breath, reached out and helped Yuan Qi, who fell to the ground and couldn't get up, and after removing the mask on his face, he said to Yuan Qi with a look of shame: "Senior brother, Buqu is incompetent, so he can only do this." ā
Yuan Qi smiled slightly, and said with some gasp: "Senior brother, it is in the sky to make things happen, even if you and I are buried here today, we will not be lonely on Huangquan Road." ā
At this time, it is relatively safe to enter the city gate, as long as you run out of the city and avoid the arrow rain of the Xiliang Army on the other side of the city wall, it is also a little difficult to get out of the range of the arrow rain of the Xiliang Army safely in the current state of a few people. Moreover, 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 dismembering the corpses, unless at this time, there is some miracle.
Will there be a miracle? The five swordsmen who followed Buqu thought silently in their hearts.
"Stop it all, wait for someone to capture the thief!" a majestic shout sounded in front of the city gate.
The Xiliang army on the city wall was already preparing to go down to the city to kill Yuan Qi 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 and hundred flowers robe, holding a very heavy halberd in his hand, his face was full of unstoppable majesty, and he sat down with a red rabbit horse. One man and one horse, the momentum is extraordinary.
Most of the Xiliang troops on the city wall don't know Qi Tian, and they don't know that Qi Tian is Dong Meng who has just surrendered, but these Xiliang soldiers know the Red Rabbit Horse, Dong Meng regards this horse as his life, and he is not a cronie around Dong Meng, 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 be so bowed down to let others gallop, it can be seen that this Red Rabbit BMW must have been rewarded by Dong Meng to Qi Tian.
Because of this, although the Xiliang army did not know Qi Tian, they still paused according to their words and continued to stick to the city wall, and no one walked down the city against Qi Tian's wishes.
Qi Tian picked up the Qi Tian halberd with his backhand, and 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, Qi Tian lost the fierce aura he had just now, and the expression on his face suddenly became gentle: "Second brother, is it you?"
Hearing Qi Tian's voice, Yuan Qi struggled to sit up, and looked up at Qi Tian who was sitting on the red rabbit horse, at this moment, Yuan Qi knew that Qi Tian must have left Ding Li this morning or morning, and came to Dong Meng's side to protect Dong Meng.
said to Qi Tian in a slightly lacking voice: "Big brother, you still stand on the side of Dong Thief after all." ā
Qi Tian shook his head slightly, lowered his voice and said, "Second brother, I didn't see you when I woke up last night, and Jia Yuan under your command said that you didn't wake up from a hangover, and I didn't suspect it at that time." Until early this morning, Ding Li reorganized the army and horses and suddenly wanted to attack the military camp of Guo Yan outside the city, a certain felt that something was wrong, entered the capital today, and heard that someone assassinated Dong Meng with a single sword, and beheaded the eight generals of Xiliang with the power of one person, and also killed nearly a thousand Xiliang warriors, so he guessed that the person who assassinated Dong Meng must be you. ā
As he spoke, Qi Tian jumped off the Red Rabbit Horse, walked to Yuan Qi's side, took out a small brocade box from his arms, opened it and handed it to Yuan Qi: "Hurry up, this is a ginseng pill made of thousand-year-old ginseng, which will be very beneficial to you." ā
Yuan Qi took the brocade box in Qi Tian's hand, picked up the only pill in the brocade box and put it in his mouth. Seeing that Yuan Qi still trusted him very much, Qi Tian laughed happily: "Second brother, later you and I will pretend to fight on foot and go out of the city, the defenders in the city will not shoot arrows indiscriminately with me." ā
Yuan Qi suddenly grabbed Qi Tian's sleeve and said, "Big brother, you go with so-and-so." ā
Qi Tian was stunned for a moment, then silently shook his head and said, "Second brother, do you want to make your brother that ungrateful person?"
Hearing Qi Tian say this, Yuan Qi couldn't help but be silent.
Qi Tian slowly stood up and said, "Okay, it's time for you to get out of the city." ā
Buqu helped Yuan Qi to stand up, Yuan Qi glanced at Qi Tian deeply, and his tone was full of concern: "Since the eldest brother has made up his mind, the younger brother doesn't say anything, but the eldest brother is in the tiger's mouth and wolf's den, so he must take care of himself." ā
Qi Tian patted Yuan Qi's shoulder with a smile and said, "I know, second brother rest assured." Saying that, Qi Tian took a few steps back, slashed the wall of the city gate hole with the Qi Tian halberd in his hand, and made a loud noise, and shouted angrily in his mouth: "Good thief, he is really extraordinary!
Yuan Qi knew that Qi Tian deliberately made it out to confuse the defenders on the city wall, and responded with a laugh: "A certain person can come and go freely among the ten thousand armies, how can I be afraid of you, come, let's fight for three hundred rounds!" At the same time, Yuan Qi raised the Red Sky Divine Sword, and slashed on the wall in the same way as Qi Tian, and also made a loud noise, and the sharp Red Sky Divine Sword cut down a large piece of the earth and stone on the wall.
Buqu, who was holding Yuan Qi, also came to his senses, and beckoned the five swordsmen to walk quickly out of the city. Qi Tian pretended to chase and kill, followed Yuan Qi and the others, and walked out of the city together.
Just as Qi Tian expected, the Xiliang army on the city wall saw that Qi Tian was showing his might, and the Yuan Qi and others who were killed were defeated and retreating, and their hearts settled down, and they were afraid that they would hurt Qi Tian by releasing arrows, so they did not move, just stood on the head of the city, watching Qi Tian and Yuan Qi and others fight.
