Chapter 180: Escape (Part 2)(2/2)
It seems that Shangshu Pan received the letter and sent reinforcements over.
Fang Zheng was shocked: "Brothers, run away quickly!...No, break through quickly!"
After saying that, Fang Zheng rode his horse and ran away, just like he had just fought bravely to fight the enemy, he took the lead and ran first.
The rebel reinforcements came very quickly. When the imperial soldiers rode their horses and ran, the reinforcements were only a few feet away from them.
Fang Zheng heard a loud shout from behind: "Shoot the arrow!"
Fang Zheng quickly subconsciously shrank his head and shouted, "Oh my God!"
So more than 200 imperial guards rode their horses like a madness toward the north city gate under the rain of arrows. The first one didn't even bother to pull the reins, lay on the horse's back, holding the horse's neck with one hand and protecting their heads with the other. Their image was as embarrassing as a dog that was struggling. The group quickly disappeared into the eyes of the rebel reinforcements.
Of course, how could the rebels let them escape easily? Soon, two thousand cavalrymen rode out from the reinforcements, shouted loudly, and chased Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng could only hear the sound of wind in his ears. Along the way, some of the imperial guards were caught off guard. Some of them were shot by the rebels' arrows, some were stabbed to death by the rebel soldiers guarding against each other in the city with spears, and some were chased by the rebel cavalry and slashed by the knives.
The situation is extremely critical!
If you run to the north city gate like this, you will probably die completely. Don’t tell me that you will leave the city at that time, and you won’t know if you have this honor when you are in the funeral.
"General, you were hit by a lot of arrows. Can you hold on?" An imperial guard soldier rushed to catch up and shouted anxiously in Fang Zheng's ear. Protecting Fang Zheng is the mission of this group of imperial guards. Unexpectedly, just after breaking out, Lord Fang was hit by an arrow, and there were more than one. There were also many sharpshooters in the rebels. Seeing Fang Zheng running first, he was naturally an important figure for the first place, so Fang Zheng became the primary target of attack for the rebels.
"I'm hit by an arrow?" Fang Zheng was shocked. When he looked back, he saw that there were many arrows behind him, and from a distance he looked like a hedgehog lying on the back of a horse.
"It's over! I'm going to die!" Fang Zheng shouted, but he had not lost his mind yet. He was very surprised, why did he not feel the pain because so many arrows were in his body?
He soon found the reason. Before setting off, he wore three pairs of armor on his body in a row, which was a bit heavy, but the defense ability of these three pieces of armor is no less than that of the bulletproof vests in his previous life. Now these three pairs of armor have played a role, saving his life, perhaps not only saving his life.
While galloping, Fang Zheng turned his head to look at the fewer and fewer imperial soldiers behind him. The chasing shouts of the pursuers were one after another, and Fang Zheng and the imperial guards seemed to have fallen into a desperate situation of being surrounded by enemies.
You can't run away like this anymore, and everyone will die sooner or later.
Fang Zheng turned his head and ordered loudly: "Everyone dispersed! It is best to throw the horse down, dig into some alleys or private homes in the city, and wait for the opportunity to run!"
An imperial guard shouted: "No, general! The emperor ordered me to protect you..."
Fang Zheng's heroic image when he broke through the siege was deeply reflected in the hearts of the soldiers, so he called him a general with confidence.
"What a big deal to protect me! I am so brave, I need you to protect me? Get out of here! As far as I can get out of here!" Fang Zheng said furiously.
Taking into account the lives of the imperial soldiers, it is a reason. A group of people ran together and the target was too big. The rebels in the city would definitely surround and block them when they saw it, and the chances of everyone's survival would be very slim.
Of course, the biggest reason is that Fang Zheng believes that if he is single, he may have greater hope of running out of the city. Taking advantage of the chaos and troubled waters is Fang Zheng's strength. If a group of people follow him, he will definitely not have the opportunity to display his specialties.
The imperial guards were strict and ordered to prohibit them. Since Fang Zheng had given such instructions, the soldiers did not dare to say much. They hurriedly said, take care of themselves, then dispersed, threw down their horses, and walked into the alleys on both sides of the avenue.
Fang Zheng ran forward dozens of feet, then stopped the horse, and heard the shouts of killing in his ears, quickly threw the horse on the side of the road, and hugged his waist like a weasel that went into a farmhouse to steal chickens, quickly rushed into an unknown alley.
Fang Zheng ran in the alley while taking off his armor covered with arrows. After taking off only one coat, he had disappeared into a complex house.

Fang Zheng is very proud now. After entering this complicated house in the alley, his own safety can be guaranteed.
Because Fang Zheng had been hunted and beaten by the people of the city because of arson, he fled like a rat crossing the street. Although he was still held by Wensen in the end, he remembered the extremely complex alleys in the capital and would never get lost again.
"I can't fight, I can't escape, you can't..." Invisible in the ruins, Fang Zheng gasped, narrowed his eyes proudly, and a thief smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
