The city gate was left with just a sliver of a gap.
Gu Jiao nimbly rolled through, tumbling to safety behind the city gate.
With that, the city gate was shut.
Tang Yueshan, mounted on a steed, sword in hand, faced the onslaught of four thousand Zhan Country cavalry with an air of resignation to death.
The Zhan Country cavalry's archery was not particularly excellent, but should a volley of thousands of arrows be released, a few were bound to hit Tang Yueshan.
"Release arrows!"
A sweeping barrage of arrows flew towards Tang Yueshan, dense as a rainstorm. With no shield to protect him, he had only his long sword.
Just as Tang Yueshan was about to be turned into a sieve, an agile figure leapt down from above. With a crack of a whip, it wrapped around Tang Yueshan's waist.
"Pull!"
Following Gu Chengfeng's command, soldiers on the City Tower heaved the ropes, pulling both men up to safety!
