Chapter 1817 Two-pronged Approach
It was a comfortable night. Qin An even slept for a while. He even knocked Queen Fu unconscious because he was afraid that she would run away or shout randomly.
When it was just dawn, Qin An went out and stole a set of palace clothes. After wandering around the palace, He discovered that everything was in order, and the layout of the city was changing. The alert level should have been raised by several levels, and the defenses on the city walls were also changing. The big kites were still flying in the sky last night, but the places where the kites were released were all out of the city. They were distributed in many places outside Xudu City. Qin An felt that this might be a kind of formation.
At this time, people liked to use formations when setting up soldiers to fight. Using soldiers to form different formations with various traps, equipment, and so on, they could often make soldiers display a battle effect of 1 +1 greater than 2.
Qin An was somewhat conflicted after investigating around.
Liu Xie had already been heavily guarded by more troops. There was no possibility of entering the inner city except for slaughtering them. The defenses on the outer city walls were also very strict. The fortified traps and suspension bridges outside the city had already been built. Looking at the situation, Qin An felt that the situation was not good. The commander in chief of the city must have guessed that someone would come to Xu Du.
It's really not simple!
In this era, apart from some official roads, there were many dense forests in the wilderness.
Moreover, people lacked natural knowledge, and there were many wild beasts in the forest. Once they entered, they would encounter dangers easily. Therefore, people rarely took wild paths, and large numbers of troops rarely entered the mountain forest wastelands. This was the only way for the checkpoints to play their due role.
However, the 10,000 people he trained already possessed the accomplishments of a field squad, and it was his specialty to cross mountains and wade rivers.
Therefore, it wasn't easy for them to discover traces of them crossing the forest wilderness. The sudden increase in Xu Du's defensive level was naturally the reason why the Commander-in-Chief had gained some insights. This Sima Zhen was truly not simple. He only hoped that Mi Yue would be able to pass on the news to Tang Yu as soon as possible, and Tang Yu would definitely have a way to attack the city, right?
Walking in the city was not easy. Qin An had almost grasped some information and returned to his room. Before Queen Fu woke up, Qin An took out a bowl of instant noodles and started eating.
The interspatial ring was an absolutely still space. These instant noodles were placed in it after being cooked, and they were taken out as if they had just been cooked.
Qin An checked what was left in the spatial ring. He could see what was inside through his spiritual will.
This place was already very large. It was like a plaza, with things piled up everywhere. It was a little messy, and Qin An's spiritual energy had also decreased a lot. It was very difficult for him to sense everything in the spatial ring casually.
After wandering around for a while, Qin An's eyes suddenly lit up.
Black armor!
This was formed from the soul of the Black-armored Iron Beast's Sword Spirit. It possessed Sword God-level defensive capabilities, as well as Sword God-level offensive attributes.
It had two forms. One was a cool looking canopy trot, and the other was a combat robot. In other words, it was like a Sword God-level Transformer with Sword Spirit as its body and the Ancestor of the Magical Beast as its soul.
F*ck! How did you forget it?
Qin An quickly went up to check the performance of the machine, and then felt a little disappointed.
Even though the weapon systems were still functional, the effects of the Sword God level attacks were clearly gone.
Ah, that's good. At least it can be used. Furthermore, this thing can be considered a super weapon in this era. With it, it shouldn't be a problem to take Liu Xie away. However, it's still a bit difficult to safely take away Liu Xie's family. If I had known earlier, I would have put a Longyan fighter jet in the space. With this thing, it would have been very easy to take away dozens of people.
After confirming everything in the interspatial ring, Qin An asked her to take back her consciousness and finish the instant noodles. At this time, Empress Fu just woke up, so Qin An took out another instant noodles for her to eat.
"What is this?"
Empress Fu's mental state had stabilized after sleeping for a while, and the special taste of instant noodles attracted all her attention.
It was really delicious. This was a delicacy she had never tasted before, and the fresh taste fascinated her.
"Instant noodles, how does it taste?"
"Mm, it's delicious."
Queen Fu might be hungry, or perhaps she felt that the current situation was unsolvable and could only be accepted, so her condition seemed pretty good.
After eating the noodles, Empress Fu's condition became even better, and her confidence in speaking also increased.
"Who exactly are you? We have left the palace now? Do you know that I am the Empress? If you capture me, you will undoubtedly die."
"Die? Fu Ling, it's still too early to die. In the future, the fate of you and Liu Xie will change because of me. Wait slowly."
"How dare you! How can you call His Majesty by his name!"
"Hey, there should be many people in this palace who dare to call His Majesty Liu Xie directly, right?"
Qin An didn't care at all. He didn't want an uncle to follow him and treat Liu Xie politely. It was almost impossible for him to treat him as an emperor.
Empress Fu was very angry. She felt that the man in front of her was too rude. She was speechless for a moment and ate up all the instant noodles in anger. Only after that did she realize the man's appearance in front of her.
His strange clothes were gone. He was now wearing the clothes of a small official in the palace. He looked a lot more normal. His appearance was also very proper. He did not look like a bad person.
I really don't understand. What are the guards in the palace doing? He had actually been caught here, yet no one had come to rescue him after such a long time.
After sending it, the Empress was stunned and recalled many details from yesterday.
Could it be that they really wanted to let themselves die? Otherwise, why would he shoot out a rocket and ignite the bedroom so straightforwardly? Was it all arranged by Cao Qi?
Empress Fu still couldn't understand so many things. She felt that her head was confused and she was finally conflicted. Why did this man always call her Fu Ling? Her name was given by her parents. Even if she was a big man, the Empress did not say that she could change it, did she?
Before Qin An left the room, he and Empress Fu were hiding here for two days and one night, until the city became chaotic.
Could it be Tang Yu? So fast?
Qin An found an empty hiding place in the courtyard, released the black-armored war chariot, put Queen Fu inside, and left alone to check.
It didn't take long for Qin An to figure out the situation. It wasn't that Tang Yu had returned, but that Mi Yue had returned. When she entered the city, she was discovered. Thus, she escaped all the way and was chased by people. This caused the city to become chaotic.
Just as Mi Yue was about to fall into the encirclement and could not escape, Qin An found her and quickly took her away.
"Hey! Where have you been? I can't even find you!"
Mi Yue had just experienced too many battles and was a little panicked. She pouted, her face flushed red, and her breathing was short.
"I was exposed, so I hid in the city. How about it? Did you send the news to Tang Yu?"
"Yes, I did. However, the messenger sent back the news of Big Sister Tang Yu, saying that he was going to call Luoyang."
"What!?"
Qin An was so scared that he was dumbfounded. Tang Yu was too bold. He actually wanted to hit Luoyang?
"When are we going to make a move?"
"They said that they had gathered last night. Let's attack tonight. The sun has set for a long time now. Maybe they have already rushed into Luoyang City."
Just as Mi Yue finished speaking, a billowing white smoke rose from the northwest. She didn't know what it was that was emitted after burning. The white smoke actually suppressed the darkness of the night. Although it was estimated to be more than ten kilometers away, it could be clearly seen under the night sky.
…
"What? Someone broke through the city gate?"
Huang Xu'er, who was stationed in Luoyang, Cao Zhang's face turned green.
"Where did they come from? How many people are there?"
'"I'm not sure yet! Someone of them sneaked into the city during the day when the city gate opened. Now, a female general is guarding the city gate. She uses a long golden hammer that looks very heavy. It's very powerful! Little Sirius and Cheng Fa's two lieutenant generals were smashed to pieces by the hammer in just one confrontation. I wonder how many soldiers rushed in from outside the city!"
"Trash! Could it be that the inner sect has also fallen?"
"Yes, it was smashed into pieces by that female general's hammer!"
Hearing the soldier's report, Cao Zhang could no longer remain calm. He immediately ordered the military officers to gather, and quickly removed the garrison inside and outside Luoyang City.
It was really too surprising. When father left, he said that someone might go and fight Xu Du. He had already transferred a portion of the soldiers from Luoyang over. How come Xu Du is fine now, and Luoyang has been destroyed by someone? This was truly unimaginable.
When Cao Zhang couldn't figure out what was going on, Tang Yusun's little sister Pang De had already brought people all the way into Cao Cao's palace residence. Cao Cao's dozens of wives were all present, in addition to his seven or eight sons and three daughters were also present.
Tang Yu was too powerful this time, directly bringing Cao Cao's nest to him.
Actually, if ten thousand soldiers were to charge forward, it would not be enough to take down Luoyang. Tang Yu's advantage was that he had a heavenly weapon. Because there was no letter before, no one could have imagined that someone would come to attack Luoyang. More importantly, Tang Yu was truly too valiant. No one could stop her golden hammer during the battle. Whether it was weapons, horses, or battle generals, they were all killed instantly.
"Little sister! We've already captured more than 200 members of the Cao thief's family. Where are we going now?"
Sun Xiaomei, who had always been by Tang Yu's side, was a little excited. This kind of life of the Golden Gorge Iron Horse had once been her fantasy, but now it was right in front of her eyes.
'"It's not something they can accomplish overnight. They're probably just a few guards guarding the city. There aren't many of them. Let's go to the north gate while they haven't reacted."
"But they have horses. Most of us are infantry!"
"Didn't you prepare a good hand pomegranate when you came? Did you play it? Pass down the order and run while you throw it!"
Pomegranate. Play! This weapon was the simplest and most primitive fire Qin An could produce. It had already been mass-produced in the field army, and there was a production line-like process. Each person in the army was equipped with five of them, and 10,000 people was 50,000 of them.
Zhuge Liang invented landmines in the later battles of the Three Kingdoms, but he did not apply gunpowder to military weapons.
Hence, pomegranate bombs were too advanced. After the order was given, the soldiers of the field army began to pull the cords and throw the bombs. In a short while, Luoyang City was lit up with flames.
Facing this kind of chaos, Cao Zhang was a little uncertain. The might of the attack was simply too great, and the explosive sound was unfamiliar and mysterious. Naturally, it was also frightening.
Zhuge Liang in the south liked to invent some strange things. Could it be that Liu Bei's army had arrived? Who exactly was that female general?
Can't tube a lot, tsao zhang afraid of luoyang, has personally led QinBing out to find the enemy.
Before rushing to the south gate, a soldier came to report that Cao Cao's palace had been robbed, and countless infantry howled past. Afterwards, the Cao Manor became empty, and even more than ten dogs and thirty sheep were taken away.
When Cao Zhang heard this, his mother, Madam Bian, the future Great Wei Martial Arts Empress Bian, was also in the palace!
Thinking of this, tsao zhang almost crazy, immediately ordered to ignite the beacon tower, let the surrounding cities send troops to encirclement and suppression.
He also understood that if the number of people who came in was less than 100,000, they would not be able to establish themselves in Luoyang. After all, there were soldiers stationed in the nearby cities and cities. Once the numbers were gathered, they could not be ignored. Even if Luoyang was occupied, counterattacking Luoyang would be an instant matter.
Therefore, this group of people might be aiming for the Cao Clan. If they snatched someone, they would run away!
He was really going to die! If all of the Cao Clan's people were captured, then Cao Cao would still not kill him if he came back.
Cao Zhang respected his father and was worried about his mother, so he naturally became angry!
At this time, Xu Du's Sima Zhen was also enraged.
Xu inside and outside have made all the preparations, just waiting for someone to fight back to kill, I didn't expect the fireworks signal to spread to luoyang for help.
How could this be? Could it be that someone went to hit Luoyang?
The rise of this white smoke meant that Luoyang was in an emergency. All the nearby cities needed to send reinforcements.
Just how many people were there in the enemy? How could Luoyang send such a signal?
Sima Zhen couldn't understand, should he move? Or should we wait for further information?
Fireworks were sent from beacon towers. If he wanted to wait for a messenger from Luoyang, it would probably be noon tomorrow. At that time, he would dispatch troops and he would not be able to arrive at the periphery of Luoyang until the night after tomorrow.
Then Cao Zhang was too imprudent! This level of fireworks had never been lit in years, so how could he dare to light it just like that? Could it be that Luoyang is in danger?
When Sima was truly conflicted, suddenly, a soldier ran into the room and reported that the palace was in chaos. A huge black monster broke through all the defensive lines and killed countless people. Liu Xie, his concubines, and his children had all disappeared.
…
Qin An felt that it was a success. Using the robot form of the black-armored war chariot, he had completely attracted all the firepower.
A group of people from the Three Kingdoms Period were probably scared to death when they saw the black-armored war chariot. Qin An took advantage of the chaos to kill the guards guarding Liu Xie and then led him and his family to sneak into the palace with Mi Yue's help.
At the same time, Qin An used his mind to control the black-armored robot to release a few high-energy spiritual energy cannons, shattering all the city gates in Xu Du. Then, he took Liu Xie and ran towards the north city.
"Ma De! This Tang Yu actually doesn't care about my life or death!"
Running to a deserted place, Qin An finally roared out in hatred.
Fortunately, the black armor was there. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him and Mi Yue to escort Liu Xie's dozens of family members out of the city.
Right now, he didn't dare to be careless. He was highly focused, stealthily moving while removing obstacles.
If Tang Yu were to attack Xu Du, why would he need to be so troublesome?
Mi Yue also brought other news about Tang Yu. She and Qin An agreed to meet at the grasslands in the end.
She went to save trouble. Luoyang would probably take less than a few days to enter the grasslands. However, she estimated that there were a lot of troops gathered in the direction of Luoyang from Xudu. Cao Cao would definitely return to the west. If she wanted to enter the grasslands, she could only head north. However, there were many cities over there. It would be very dangerous to go all the way.
It was really not easy. In the end, Qin An killed out of Xudu Beicheng. There were originally many pursuers behind him, but the black-armored robot also came and fought with them. Qin An continued to flee with Liu Xie and the others. He continued to chase after them like this. It was not until early in the morning that Qin An finally asked all the pursuers and retrieved the black-armored war chariot.
Liu Xie's family size is not too complicated.
Empress Fu, Xu Fei, Lan Fei, Feng Fei, and nine other nobles.
Liu Xie's eldest son Liu Feng is already sixteen years old, Liu Xi, Liu Yi are also over ten years old.
Empress Fu had two children for Liu Xiesheng. Liu Han and Liu Tang were both very young, one was eight years old and the other was less than three years old.
Apart from that, there were also a few young daughters who were not big.
Liu Xie couldn't figure out what was going on. He had always been in Qin An's hands, while the others had completely followed him.
Concubine Lan was shocked that she wanted to escape the most, but Mi Yue saw it so hard that she didn't have a chance to escape at all.
This place was already the center of Xudu, Luoyang, and Hanoi. There was a large mountain forest. The so-called mountain was actually a slope that was higher than the nearby ground, but the so-called forest was abnormally lush.
At this time, although people also needed wood, the natural environment was superior and the population was relatively small. Therefore, the trees weren't damaged wildly. Some of the trees had reached a height of nearly a hundred meters. They were spectacular, and they had grown for countless years.
In short, this forest was suitable for hiding. However, there were many wild beasts in the forest. Qin An even found a pack of wolves. When more than ten wolves pounced on Liu Xie, several nobles were so scared that they peed their pants. Without Qin An's orders, the valiant Mi Yue directly rushed up to kill all the wolves. She peeled off the skin and cut the meat to roast them.
The minority nationalities are really powerful. Qin An doesn't know if this wolf meat is delicious or not.
In the end, they settled down in a spacious place. The sun rose in the east, and the forest was filled with mist.
Liu Xie's clothes were torn apart by Qin An, and he looked very haggard at this time.
"General, who are you? Why did you bring me here?"
Liu Xie's expression looked a little excited. He had been imprisoned for twenty years and had always wanted to leave the prison to walk around. Now that he had come out, what he had experienced was really too strange.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, my name is Qin An, a loyal official of our big fellow. I only saved you to help you recover your tyranny!"
"What?"
Liu Xie didn't believe Qin An's words at all.
Empress Fu watched coldly from the side. Actually, she was a little sad. She had disappeared for a day and night. Although she had been fleeing just now, Liu Xie did not come to greet her. The husband and wife's kindness had not been broken. However, this Liu Xie did not care about anything now. Even if Qin An really had the ability to help Liu Xie, he was not suitable to be an emperor.
