Datang Mechanical Era

Chapter 160 Chang’an can no longer be protected

This time Bai Yang was extremely angry.

The old bald donkey is so mean!

Bai Tianyang took two deep breaths, picked up the sound device and put it in his arms, then jumped into the water, groped his way to the ladder, climbed to the wellhead, and hit the boulder blocking the wellhead hard.

The boulder remained motionless, but during the day Yang heard someone talking outside the well.

"What did you do to him?"

"Come with me!"

"I won't go with you! Did you stone him to death? Tell me!"

"It's not up to you whether to leave or not!"

"ah!"

A few simple words of conversation and a loud shout immediately made Bai Tianyang's eyes red.

Bai Huixin was right outside the wellhead, probably less than 5 meters away from her.

Since being kidnapped by "No. 98", he has never been so close to his daughter.

Thinking of this, Bai Tianyang waved his arms and beat the stone harder.

But even though his fist was in severe pain and bleeding, the stone still didn't move at all.

Moreover, Bai Huixin and the others could not be heard talking outside.

During the day Yang calmed down: It seemed that it was impossible to go out directly from the wellhead.

Is there any other way?

He groped around anxiously, but to no avail.

"Ou Ying, don't just watch! Let's think of a solution together! Or have you found any other exits here?" Bai Tianyang shouted.

"I'm looking for it!" said the sound-generating device in my arms. "There must be no direct way out. There are a few detours. I'm calculating the best path."

"Hurry up!"

"Take a breath and get ready to go into the water."

During the day, Yang tried his best to fill his lungs with air. Then his limbs loosened and he fell into the water from the metal ladder.

In the darkness, Tian Yang could only follow the prompts of the smart metal exoskeleton—sometimes downward, sometimes forward, sometimes raising his head to the surface for air.

For five full minutes, he was in the water, feeling as if he had passed through an extremely long tunnel in the water.

He once doubted whether he would be trapped in an underwater maze and never get out.

Fortunately, when he surfaced again for air, he suddenly saw a bright spot in front of him - the exit.

With the blessing of the smart metal exoskeleton, Bai Tianyang quickly approached the exit and got out.

The sound of water is gurgling and the moon is tilting to the west. It should be the early morning in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty and dawn is about to begin.

And where Bai Tianyang is located, it should be a canal in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. The water is brought from high places outside the city and flows through the city. On both sides are man-made reinforced dams and neat willow trees.

Bai Tianyang quickly grabbed a few stones in the embankment by the water, climbed to the shore with all his strength, and took stock of the surrounding environment.

This should be Tonghua Gate.

But, it's so late, why are there so many people near the city gate?

Oh, they should be tourists going out.

With so many things happening in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, ordinary tourists are naturally frightened and want to end their journey as soon as possible.

But Bai Yang always felt something was wrong.

Although there are many of these people, they are very silent.

They were lingering here, as if waiting for some information.

"Isn't there the beacon fire in Tongguan yet?"

During the day Yang suddenly heard someone shouting.

This sentence was like a spark splashing into an oil drum, causing a huge uproar.

"Tongguan must have been lost!"

"Chang'an can't be protected anymore!"

"Run for your life!"

"Let's run away!"

Bai Tianyang was a little dazed: What is Tongguan? What does "Chang'an cannot be protected" mean?

"Hey...did all your high school history class go to waste?" said the sound-producing device in his arms, "Back then, Li Longji forced Tongguan Guard General Ge Shuhan to go to war. Ge Shuhan's 200,000-strong army was defeated by An Lu in Lingbao. The mountain's powerful general Cui Qianyou was wiped out, and the rebels took advantage of the momentum to capture Tongguan, leaving Chang'an exposed to the front of Anlu Mountain's rebels. At that time, the Tongguan defenders made an agreement with Chang'an that if nothing happened, they would light a beacon every night to report peace. As a result, after the fall of Tongguan, the people of Chang'an could not see the beacon fire all night, and they were immediately panicked and in chaos."

Bai Tianyang said "Oh" and said, "It's a pre-arranged script, right? Next, the Anlushan rebels dressed as robots will enter Chang'an, right?"

"Yes!" said the sound-producing device.

Bai Tianyang was not interested in these. While talking to "Ou Ying" through the sound device, he looked for traces of Xiu Yuan everywhere.

But the surroundings were crowded with people, and it became even more noisy and chaotic, especially after someone asked, "Isn't the beacon fire in Tongguan yet?"

Bai Tianyang gritted his teeth and simply tried to climb the city wall directly.

On both of his arms, the front ends of the metal exoskeletons can extend claws and insert them into the rammed earth city wall without any problem. Coupled with the chaos all around, no one noticed at first.

When he was halfway up, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Who!"

"What are you doing climbing the city wall?"

"stop!"

stop?

That's impossible.

During the day, Yang clearly saw that there were soldiers of the Tang Army on the city wall holding crossbows and aiming at him. But at this moment, his mind was occupied with how to find Bai Huixin, so instead of stopping, he accelerated his climb.

"shoot!"

Several crossbow arrows were fired, and Bai Tianyang was already prepared. He changed direction on the city wall and ducked out of the way.

Chang'an's rammed earth city wall is about 5 meters high. Bai Tianyang was blessed with a smart metal exoskeleton and climbed to the top of the city wall in a short while.

When the defenders stationed on the city wall saw this, they either raised arrows to shoot at him, or they came over with swords and guns.

Bai Tianyang shouted: "Tongguan is gone, and Brother Shuhan was captured alive! What are you doing here so stupidly? Why don't you run for your lives?"

When these words came out, the Tang Dynasty defenders on the city wall actually looked at each other.

Bai Tianyang took the opportunity to look down into the city, looking for Xiu Yuan and Bai Huixin.

At this time, the moon has completely set, and under the rising sun, the scene in the city can be clearly seen.

Tian Yang immediately saw a pile of bald heads in the distance shining in the sunlight.

The bald man at the front, who else could it be if it wasn’t Xiu Yuan?

Behind him, six bald men guarded Bai Huixin and Wang Qingyue. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

They were heading west along the avenue between Xingningfang and Yongjiafang.

Bai Tianyang shouted: "Xiuyuan, Kondo Shigeru, stop!"

Almost at the same time, the Tang army stationed on the city wall shouted, and greeted them with swords, guns and arrows at the same time.

Bai Tianyang had no interest in tangling with them. He turned over and climbed down the city wall. Then he quickly landed on the ground while avoiding the arrows, and chased Xiuyuan in the direction of his escape.

At this time, the streets were in chaos. Some people rushed to the city gate in panic with large and small bags. Some soldiers rode horses and robbed people of their belongings. Some people who were robbed could only kneel on the ground and cry.

Of course, these must be robot NPCs. Their actions are all predetermined procedures, aiming to show the chaos in the city when Chang'an fell to the rebels.

However, many human tourists seemed particularly excited. They either sat on the wall, ate melon seeds and watched the show; or hid in the corner, stroking their hands and laughing.

Some parents comforted their frightened and crying children while telling them that this was the "Anshi Rebellion." He also described in detail what happened to Li Longji, Yang Yuhuan, Yang Guozhong, and An Lushan.

In short, from the perspective of these human tourists, all "wars" are just a show performed for them by the robot NPC.

During the day Yang didn't care about this, he spread his legs and ran like crazy. But there were too many people around him, so he simply climbed up the wall of Xingningfang.

Although the top of the square wall is steep, fortunately there are almost no people around, so you can run away.

Bai Tianyang even kicked down two onlookers who were eating melon seeds, and finally caught up with Xiu Yuan amidst a burst of curses.

Xiu Yuan turned his head and looked at Bai Tianyang on the wall of the square, and shouted: "Stop chasing him, I'll let him go!"
