The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 4 Big Old Cheng's Earth Cannon

Liu Xiao led Tang Ji out of the palace gate, took off a waist knife from a Xiliang soldier, hung it on his waist, and was about to call Cheng Yaojin to leave, when he suddenly found another Xiliang soldier with a knife still hanging on his body. With a crossbow!
Military crossbows are different from bows and arrows. Bows and arrows are large in size and have a long range. Most of them are used for fighting in battle formations. Military crossbows are small in size and easy to carry. They can be installed and fired in advance, but their range is shorter, and they are often used for sneak attacks. , Liu Xiao, who came from the age of hot weapons, is good at hot weapons. The use of weapons such as knives, guns, swords and halberds is naturally not as good as in the era of cold weapons, especially bows and arrows. The individual hard crossbow is one of the necessary equipment for special forces, and it is specially used for assassination.

Although this military crossbow cannot be compared with the fine steel hard crossbows of the hot weapon era, after all, the structural principles are similar and it is more suitable for Liu Xiao's application.

Liu Xiao took down the military crossbow and quiver, and said in a low voice, "Cheng Zhijie, help my general use the hard crossbow to load the arrows!"

Cheng Yaojin grinned, and said with a chuckle: "Your majesty, with your small body, it's difficult to use it even if you put it on?"

"Where did you come from so much nonsense, I told you to be good, so you will use it naturally!"

"Your Majesty, where are we going? Hurry up!"

The elder Cheng didn't dare to neglect, he quickly mounted the crossbow and handed it to Liu Xiao. Before leaving, he tore off a corner of his clothes, and swiped them on the ground to protect Liu Xiao and Tang Ji and run away.

At this time, the fire in Weiyang Palace is getting bigger and bigger. After all, it is the driest time in the twelfth lunar month of winter. The surrounding dry firewood and dry grass and even the bamboo forest in the palace are on fire. It is inconvenient to get water nearby. I want to put out the fire, but there is no So easy.

"Damn it, Fei Sheng, have you found Mr. Li? The sky is dry, what kind of fire did he set? I don't know if a fire breaks out at this time, is it the hardest thing to put out?"

Du Fei, the commander of a hundred riders, roared angrily.

Fei Sheng couldn't help wiping the sweat from his brow, and said anxiously: "My lord, not only Mr. Li, but even the two little eunuchs are gone, and there is no sign of the deposed emperor and concubines in the attic. !"

Du Fei's heart sank, and he felt that something was wrong. Li Runa was the master planner, Lang Zhongling, and he was the most cautious in doing things. How could he set fire at this time?What's more, there are soldiers guarding all around. If they want to leave, they can't hide it from Xiliang's elite eyeliner. You know, it only takes a short time from the discovery of the fire to the fire fighting. How can they disappear?Could it be that something went wrong?
"Boss Xin, immediately lead [-] brothers to strengthen the defense of the four palace gates, no one can come in and out at will, Fei Sheng, keep looking for me, and the others will do their best to put out the fire!"

Du Fei shouted.

Boss Xin hurriedly led the people towards the outside of the palace gate. As soon as he reached the gate of the palace, Boss Xin screamed.

"Haiqichang, Baiqichang, something happened, both Xu Qing and Dong Fang were killed!"

Du Fei was shocked, and ran all the way to the gate of the palace, only to see that the two Xiliang soldiers had already been killed, their throats were cut by sharp knives, their waist knives and hard crossbows were gone.

If Du Fei didn't understand, he would be a fool. Someone must have created chaos and took the opportunity to save Emperor Fei!I'm afraid Li Ru and the two young eunuchs are in danger!
"Hurry up, send a letter to Grand Master and Marquis Wen immediately. Someone hijacked King Hongnong and set fire to Yong'an Palace. Mr. Li is nowhere to be found. He requests that Luoyang City be sealed off immediately, and all the maids, concubines, and servants in Yong'an Palace be imprisoned immediately for interrogation." !"

Du Fei shouted sternly, "Fei Sheng, take your ten brothers and pursue them immediately. The deposed emperor has no power to restrain a chicken, they will never be able to run far!"

The whole Yong'an Palace is in chaos, now it is no longer a matter of putting out the fire, but finding the trace of King Hongnong!

It's just that a quarter of an hour has passed since Liu Xiao ran away. Even with Tang Ji, it is enough for Liu Xiao to run three or four miles away. Now it is not so easy to find Liu Xiao.

Soon, the entire city of Luoyang was in chaos. Squads of Xiliang troops began to rampage on the streets, searching for people everywhere. The gates of the city were closed in the middle of the night. If Liu Xiao was alone, he could get out over the wall, but It is difficult to take Tang Ji with her.

"Your Majesty, you should leave me alone. You can't escape with your concubines..."

While being led by Liu Xiao to run wildly, Tang Ji said pantingly, along the way, two people met two groups of people, and were barely avoided by three people, but not every time they were so lucky, they could successfully dodge The vision of Xiliang soldiers.

"Stop talking. We can't leave the city now. The only way is to find a place to hide first. Let's go to Situ Mansion!"

Situ Wang Yun, but Liu Xiao doesn't know anything else, but in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dong Zhuo was finally set up by Wang Yun for a series of tricks, and he was completely killed. Now he can only go to Wang Yun's mansion for a while. When he was in power, he had been to Wang Yun's home, and he vaguely remembered the location.

While walking forward, suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and a general came slowly from a distance. In the dark night, the face of the general could not be seen clearly, but the horse in front of him was an unusually handsome horse. Ordinary war horses are a circle bigger.

"Zhijie, get ready to kill him!"

Liu Xiao hugged Tang Ji behind him and hid in a corner. He raised the crossbow in his hand, held his breath, and was ready to give the general opposite him a ruthless blow!
Cheng Yaojin is holding the ring head knife, hiding behind the tree, waiting for someone to approach.

Soon, the visitor was less than five or six steps away from Cheng Yaojin.

"Boy, look at the knife!"

Cheng Yaojin yelled, raised the steel knife, and slashed at the person coming!
The person who came seemed to have been prepared, raised his right hand, and raised the weapon in his hand, just blocking Cheng Yaojin's steel knife!

"Choke!"

There was a crisp collision sound, and Cheng Yaojin felt that the tiger's mouth was shattered, and the steel knife in his hand couldn't hold it, and flew straight into the sky!
"Haha, you brave thief, dare to sneak attack on your grandfather! You want to die!"

The visitor laughed loudly, waved his halberd, and stabbed at Cheng Yaojin!
"Fang Tian painted a halberd!"

Liu Xiao's complexion changed drastically. In the entire Luoyang city, the one who defeated Cheng Yaojin with one move, still using Fang Tian's halberd, was only one person!

"Crench!"

At the moment when Cheng Yaojin was about to die, Liu Xiao pressed the button with his right thumb, and a crossbow arrow shot at the opposite general like lightning!
The visitor waved his weapon again and knocked the crossbow arrows into the air!

"Look at my old Cheng's cannon!"

Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin yelled and threw out the piece of shirt in his hand!
Lu Bu didn't have time to take back Fang Tian's painted halberd, so he had to use the tail of the halberd in an attempt to separate things!

However, this time Lu Bu miscalculated, this corner of the clothes is naturally not very powerful, but there is a lot of soil and gravel in the clothes, all of which were buckled on Lu Bu's face!

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The mud and sand entered Lu Bu's eyes, causing Lu Bu to take the reins of the horse, backed up a few steps, and rubbed his eyes desperately with his left hand!

"Shameless bastard, you dare to sneak attack your Wen Hou, and die!"
