Wei Xiaobao's Three Kingdoms Adventure

Chapter 121 I Almost Lost You
Before the patrolling soldiers could reach the place where Wei Xiaobao and Xiao Qiao were hiding, their attention was attracted by a loud noise coming from outside the city.

Wei Xiaobao's heart almost stopped with fright, and he almost wet his pants after hearing the loud noise.

Xiao Qiao also shrank back and leaned against Wei Xiaobao.

The body temperature and the fragrance from his nose made Wei Xiaobao suddenly calm down: "Could it be that big brother came to save me?"

Wei Xiaobao stuck his head out to look towards the source of the sound, but the patrolling soldiers had already run away, with only their backs remaining.

There was a fire on the city wall, and the sound seemed to come from the fire.

Another huge fireball flew from the sky and hit the city wall hard, sending out countless sparks and making a dull and loud sound.

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "When did you learn how to use siege engines? No, this is the South Gate. If you want to come in, you should go through the North Gate or the West Gate."

The city was in chaos. The people had never seen anyone attacking a city so late at night!

Yuan Shu had already led his men up to the city gate tower, and he kept cursing, "What are you scouts doing? The enemy has already attacked the city, and you don't even know who's coming?"

Wei Xiaobao no longer cared about who was attacking Shouchun, and he pulled Xiao Qiao and ran towards the north gate.

Sleepy old men, crying children, women with their families, men leading cows and sheep, and all kinds of fleeing people have blocked the north city gate.

The gate officer on the city gate tower shouted at the people to retreat, but who would listen to him when disaster was imminent?

Some people have already started climbing the stairs, preparing to go up to the city gate tower to open the gate!

The guards did not wait for the order from the city gate officer, but started stabbing and slashing indiscriminately with their spears and short swords.

Wei Xiaobao held Xiao Qiao's hand tightly, not daring to let go for a moment. In such a chaotic scene, if the two separated their hands, they might never see each other again.

Xiao Qiao had never experienced escaping in her life. At this moment, she was snuggling beside Wei Xiaobao, her body shaking like a sieve.

Wei Xiaobao took off his military uniform and put it on Xiao Qiao, saying, "Don't be afraid. I will definitely get you out."

More and more people rushed to the city gate, but the soldiers on the gate tower did not retreat at all. Even though the stairs were filled with corpses, they still refused to open the city gate and only tried their best to stop the people from climbing up the city gate.

Wei Xiaobao said to Xiao Qiao, "Wait here for me. I'll go and take care of those soldiers. Otherwise, we'll be trampled to death by the people behind us sooner or later."

Even though Xiao Qiao was worried about getting separated from Wei Xiaobao, she felt that what Wei Xiaobao said made sense, so she had no choice but to let go of his hand.

Wei Xiaobao asked Xiao Qiao to move to a place with fewer people, then he drew his dagger and rushed up to the city gate tower.

Seeing another fearless person rushing up, the guards showed no mercy and aimed their spears and knife blades at Wei Xiaobao's vital points.

Wei Xiaobao dodged and slashed with his dagger, and when he couldn't dodge, he used his chest and back to take the attack.

Seeing Wei Xiaobao's desperate attitude, the guards were so frightened that they backed away one by one, as the swords and guns in their hands were either cut off by his dagger or stabbed into his body without any reaction.

The common people who had already climbed up the city wall also picked up the half-broken spear heads on the ground, and followed Wei Xiaobao in a burst of slashing and stabbing. In a short while, they forced the guards back into the city wall.

The city gate officer stood in front of the guards and shouted at Wei Xiaobao, "Whose subordinate are you? Do you know that opening the city gate without permission is a capital offense?"

Wei Xiaobao then remembered that he was still wearing his military uniform. He didn't care about anything else at this moment and shouted to the people behind him: "If the city gate is not opened, I will die in the city. It is better to rush out and have a chance to survive!"

Instigated by Wei Xiaobao, the people rushed forward and hacked the city gate officer and the few remaining guards into pieces.

As the city gates were opened, the people below the city walls rushed towards the gate like carp crossing a river. Wei Xiaobao, who was on the gate tower, saw Xiao Qiao wrapped in the crowd and felt anxious and worried. However, if he went down at this time, he would probably be trampled to death.

Xiao Qiao had been taken out of the city by the crowd, and Wei Xiaobao quickly ran to the other side and stared at her.

"Don't be afraid, just follow the people first, I will come to find you soon." Wei Xiaobao covered his mouth with his hands like trumpets and shouted at Xiao Qiao.

After waiting for the crowds of people outside the city gate to decrease, Wei Xiaobao seized the opportunity and jumped down the stairs. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he was trapped by people in front, behind, and on both sides. No matter how hard he tried, his body would not obey him.

After finally leaving the city, there was no trace of Xiao Qiao.

The fire in the south city was getting brighter and brighter. Wei Xiaobao was worried that once Shouchun fell, the attacking troops would come to the north to hunt down the people.

Just when Wei Xiaobao was anxious and scared, Zhao Yun had already arrived with his men.

When Wei Xiaobao saw Zhao Yun on his horse, he waved his hands and shouted, "Brother, brother, I'm here!"

Zhao Yun also saw Wei Xiaobao in the crowd. He urged his horse and whipped it to tear a hole in the crowd and came to Wei Xiaobao.

Some soldiers had already dismounted and given their horses to Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao asked the soldier to hold the reins, and then he stood on the horse's back and looked around for Xiao Qiao.

At this time, Xiao Qiao didn't know where she was being washed to by the surging crowd. She stood there, not daring to move, allowing the refugees around her to bump into her.

Suddenly, Xiao Qiao saw a tall man standing, it was Wei Xiaobao.

The horse under Wei Xiaobao's feet was obscured by the crowd, and Xiao Qiao didn't know where he was standing. She just felt like he was standing in mid-air like a god descending from heaven.

"Hey! Hey! I'm here! I'm here!"

Wei Xiaobao vaguely heard Xiao Qiao's voice, but unfortunately her voice was weak and her figure was petite, so Wei Xiaobao couldn't find her after calling her for a long time.

Xiao Qiao's voice was hoarse and she wanted to go to Wei Xiaobao, but waves of people blocked her way.

Finally, Wei Xiaobao saw a pair of waving hands among a row of heads, and then he saw Xiao Qiao's face.

The two looked at each other, and although they were far apart, they could see comfort and joy in each other's eyes.

Wei Xiaobao opened his legs and sat back on the saddle. The horse was frightened and suddenly jumped out and headed straight for Xiao Qiao.

Seeing that the horse was frightened, the crowd covered their heads and dodged, actually making way for Wei Xiaobao.

Before the horse arrived, Wei Xiaobao had already slipped off its back, ran forward a few steps and hugged Xiao Qiao.

It was the first time that Xiao Qiao was hugged. Her cheeks turned red instantly, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

Zhao Yun also rode his horse over and recognized Xiao Qiao immediately after seeing her. After all, the two sisters looked somewhat similar. At this moment, she was in Wei Xiaobao's arms.

Zhao Yun urged, "Second brother, let's leave quickly. No matter who wins, Sun Ce or Yuan Shu will come after the refugees. By then, it will be too late to leave."

Wei Xiaobao then realized that it was Sun Ce who came to attack Shouchun. He nodded, took the reins, helped Xiao Qiao onto the horse, then jumped on the horse, wrapped Xiao Qiao in his arms, threw the reins with both hands, and galloped away.
