Chapter 48: Bloody Battle of the City Gate

"Retreat!" Ma Chao waved his thousand soldiers' swords in his hand and took the lead in killing him in front of the palace gate.

At the beginning of the battle, Pang De regarded Xueying as his mount in order to protect Ma Chao's war horse, and Ma Chao's flying rainbow spear was also hung on the war horse. At this moment, Pang De was about to return Ma Chao, but saw that he had already come out of the horse. Seeing this, he had to ride a horse and follow him.

However, what Ma Chao expected was that Empress Dowager He could even ride a horse. After the soldiers gave her a war horse, she also stepped on the horse and ran with the team.

"Brother Gao, Your Majesty has been killed by the traitor. We should protect the Queen Mother. It is better to leave here quickly." After Ma Chao met Gao Shun in front of the palace gate, he hurriedly explained the situation.

When Gao Shun heard the emperor being killed, he was shocked and nodded quickly and said, "Since that's the case, let's go out of the city."

"Ling Ming, you lead me, the warriors of Xiliang, to open the road ahead. After leaving the city, we will go to Hanoi to station." Ma Chao shouted loudly, and Pang De then led more than 200 surviving soldiers from his subordinates to take the lead in breaking out of the palace gate.

"Wen Yuan, you lead the team to resist the flag and follow me, I'll cut off the rear." Gao Shun praised Ma Chao's arrangements, and secretly admired him. Although Pang De was familiar with the situation in the city, it would be more conducive to breaking through the road ahead, it was obvious that the battle of the forward might be more intense. Ma Chao's selfless arrangement naturally reflects that he did not have the slightest exclusion or utilization of Gao Shun and others.

Seeing that Ma Chao valued friendship with his brothers so much, Gao Shun was unwilling to fall behind. Even if he took on the task of cutting off the rear, the risk of cutting off the rear would increase exponentially, but he was not afraid at all.

"Brother Gao, I'll stop you." Ma Chao wanted to call him Gao Shun's name, but in this chaos, the two of them had been fighting side by side for a long time, and they had long been intimate. In addition, Zhang Liao also called him Gao Shun's elder brother, and Ma Chao wanted to come and called him Gao Shun's affectionately, so he started to shout in a habitual manner.

"Peng!" Gao Shun saw an enemy soldier stabbing with a spear, and immediately slashed his long sword in his hand. The long sword penetrated his chest and splashed a piece of blood. The enemy soldier was also killed on the spot.

"Since you call me big brother, that's my brother. How can I let my brother stay and escape by myself? This is absolutely absolutely necessary." After Gao Shun killed the enemy soldier, he raised his hand to wipe the blood on his face and started drinking.

At this time, the soldiers and horses in front of the palace gate, led by Pang De and Zhang Liao, had killed the enemy soldiers at the gate, reorganized their formation, and prepared to break through.

"Since that's the case, Brother Gao, you and I will lead hundreds of cavalry to be responsible for cutting off the rear." Ma Chao saw the team gathering at the door and was just waiting for his order, so he no longer discussed the matter of cutting off the rear.

"Okay, that's it."

"The whole army attacks! Target Ximen!" Seeing that he agreed, Ma Chao waved his sword and roared. Pang De rode out and took the lead in opening the way forward.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses in the city were quickly gathering towards the west city after receiving the news. Once the 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city were surrounded, it would be impossible to break through again.

Pang De danced with a big sword in his hand and galloped on his horse. The enemy soldiers blocked on the streets had no power to fight back under his command.

Zhang Liao rode his horse on the side, using flags to make weapons, constantly sweeping and waving, blocking many arrows for Pang De. The thousands of iron cavalry behind him also exploded bloody at this moment, dancing weapons with their hands and galloping on horseback. When they saw the enemy soldiers, they all came out, and passed through the pass and killed the generals, and drove to the west gate.

Ma Chao and Gao Shun led two men, each leading hundreds of cavalry to break the back. Facing the enemy soldiers chasing them, Ma Chao was not afraid at all. He suddenly waved his sword and entered the enemy formation, rushing back and forth, killing them so hard that everyone was afraid of the enemy soldiers and retreated one after another.

But Dong Zhuo's army rushed from all directions from the city. Although Ma Chao retreated one after another, he still had troops and horses, killing out of unknown streets.

He fought bloody battles and walked along the way. Seeing that the front army had successfully broken out of the city gate, Ma Chao, covered in blood, looked around and saw that there were only nineteen people left on the left and right, and there were only three cavalry left on Gao Shun. Gao Shun had already become a bloody man, and he was even hit by two arrows on his back. He was completely lying on the horse's back. He didn't know how serious he was injured.

"You guys, please take General Gao away first." Seeing that Gao Shun was seriously injured, the city gate was right in front of him, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to take Gao Shun out of the city first.

After hearing this, the soldiers around and around rushed to Gao Shun, took his war horse, and rushed towards the city gate. At this moment, a team of cavalry suddenly turned out from outside the gate. The leader turned out to be Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian.

"Close the city gate!" Lu Bu waved his halberd and rode his horse, shouted loudly, and blocked the city gate.

The soldiers escorting Gao Shun, seeing the enemy soldiers blocking the way, hurriedly drove over to kill them. Seeing that they were coming, Lu Bu rode out and swept out with his halberd, and killed the soldiers on the spot.

After Lu Bu received his skills, the Pegasus killed Gao Shun. Gao Shun, who was lying on the horse, seemed to feel the dangerous aura. He suddenly sat up, waved his hand and blocked the fierce moves that Lu Bu came to his head.

"Don't be arrogant, Ma Chao is here!" Seeing Gao Shun in danger, Ma Chao killed the enemy soldiers in front of the horse with one sword, and the Pegasus attacked Lu Bu.

Faced with Ma Chao coming in a fierce manner, Lu Bu had to abandon Gao Shun and face Ma Chao. The two of them looked at each other with hatred for each other.

"Protect General Gao first!" Seeing that the city gate was about to close, Ma Chao hurriedly waved his sword to slash at Lu Bu, he hurriedly shouted and ordered the remaining nine soldiers on both sides to escort Gao Shun out.

Gao Shun was already injured, but just now he blocked Lu Bu's move and hid on the horse and vomited blood. When he heard Ma Chao's shouting, although he wanted to resist, he could not raise any strength in his body. He had to still lead the soldiers in front of him and fight out of the city gate.

When Gao Shun was in front of the nine soldiers, who rushed out of the city gate with the help of his life, the city gate was completely closed. Gao Shun, who had always been resolute and strong, saw that Ma Chao was afraid of death and held Lu Bu back to save him and chose to stay in the city alone. Facing Ma Chao's love, Gao Shun closed his eyes in pain, leaned on the horse's back, and could no longer help but leave a drop of blood and tears in the corner of his eyes.

Gao Shun, who was covered in wounds, and then the anger attacked his heart, finally fell into a coma. At this time, there were only three soldiers left in front of him. When the other six people broke through, they used their bodies as shields and finally covered them out of the city gate.

Facing the closed city gate behind him, the three soldiers were moved by Ma Chao's sentiment. They gritted their teeth and protected Gao Shun, and chased the team that broke out.
