Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

"Let's go," Xia Qin looked at this strange city without any nostalgia in her eyes. She took a deep breath, turned her head and said to the people behind her: "Notify everyone to retreat according to the plan!"

"Yes!" Han Yu and Yan Yang, who had been waiting for orders, immediately sent out the unique signal of the Night Spirit Organization upon hearing this.

At this time, Jingzhou City was empty, and all the civilians and soldiers had evacuated in advance. Outside the city, members of the Night Spirit Organization hid in the surrounding woods, quietly waiting for the enemy to arrive.

Qin Haoran never dreamed that the people and army in Jingzhou City had already evacuated. He tried his best to seize the initiative, but in fact, he had fallen into the trap carefully designed by Xia Qin.

On the other side, Lie Shu and Zhao Nande, following Qin Haoran's orders, slowly moved towards Jingzhou City from the east and west sides.

Originally, it would only take half an hour to encircle Jingzhou City, but due to weather reasons and fear of Xia Qin, they acted extremely cautiously, fearing that they would encounter some terrifying weapons beyond their knowledge.

However, when they finally arrived in the south of Jingzhou City, they found that something was wrong.

"General Zhao, why is there no movement?" Lie Shu rolled his eyes and whispered to Zhao Nande, "The layout of Jingzhou City is so strange. Don't cities in your Great Xia Kingdom have four gates in the east, west, south and north? Why does Jingzhou City only have two gates in the north and south? And there are so many trees on the east and west sides, which is not common."

Zhao Nande frowned. "It's a little strange indeed. However, as far as I know, this Jingzhou City was not originally a formal city, but an abandoned palace located in the heart of Daxia, close to Kyoto. It was transformed into its current appearance. Since there has been no war here for many years, the city is relatively small, with only two gates in the north and south. As for the dense forest, it may have been preserved because of the palace."

"I see..." Lie Shu nodded, feeling slightly relieved but still vigilant.

At this moment, a soldier who had gone to investigate hurried back and reported to Zhao Nande in a panic: "General Zhao! The city gates ahead are ajar, and there seems to be no one in the city!"

Zhao Nande's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly asked, "No one? Have you already gone in to check?"

The soldier was stunned and said, "General, I haven't entered the city yet, but I can see through the crack in the door. There is no movement in the city, as if everyone has disappeared into thin air."

Zhao Nande was a little surprised when he heard the news, but at the same time he was also a little relieved. He frowned and thought for a moment, then ordered: "Let a few smart brothers go into the city and search everywhere. Don't be careless, that little girl is very insidious!"

The soldier responded, "Yes, General Zhao!"

"No one..." Lie Shu murmured in a low voice, with a puzzled look on his face, "I clearly saw them all in the city just now, how come they suddenly disappeared? Did they run away? But why did they spend so much effort to stop us just now? What's going on?"

Qin Haoran was waiting anxiously in the north of the city. More than an hour had passed, and there were neither the terrifying explosions nor the shouts of fighting. Everything was so quiet that it was eerie.

He couldn't help pacing back and forth, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. Did something happen in the city? Or was the enemy setting a trap?

At this moment, a sharp "creak, rumble!" sound was heard, and the north gate of Jingzhou City slowly opened. Qin Haoran's heart tightened, his hand unconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword, and he looked nervously in the direction of the city gate.

However, when he looked from a distance, he found that it was his own soldiers who came out. This scene made his already uneasy heart even more suspicious.

A soldier quickly ran up to him, knelt on one knee and saluted, "General Qin, there seems to be no one in the city. General Zhao and General Lie are searching inside."

"No one?" Qin Haoran frowned, feeling as incredible as Zhao Nande, "How could this be? I'll go and take a look myself!"

"Qin Shuai, wait a moment," Liang Xueying behind him reminded him softly, stopping him, "Be careful, there may be a trick here. Neither Mo Ye nor Mu Jinyan is a good person."

Qin Haoran nodded after listening, thinking that Liang Xueying was right, so he decided to follow her advice and wait for another half an hour.

At this time, outside the south gate of Jingzhou City, the 60,000 troops led by Zhao Nande and Lie Shu were on standby. The two of them personally led a thousand people to search the city carefully, not leaving out any corner.

After a search, they found that the city was actually empty.

"Did they really escape?" Zhao Nande still found it unbelievable. "But Wancheng is thirty miles to the south. The city there is strong and is indeed more suitable for defense. It is reasonable for them to choose to delay our actions here." As he spoke, he cast his eyes on the dozens of crossbow carts piled up a hundred meters away and walked over quickly.

Lie Shu followed closely in his footsteps. Seeing these ingeniously designed weapons, he couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the weapon that just shot out the several-foot-long arrow? It seems that they left in a hurry and didn't have time to destroy it."

These crossbow carts are so important, but now they are left here and become the spoils of the Qin army.

Too late to destroy it? No!

not good!

Zhao Nande reacted at this time, but it was too late. A familiar figure appeared on the roof in the center of Jingzhou, looking down at them.

"Are these things interesting?" Mo Ye asked jokingly, "Use them as your burial objects!"

As he spoke, he casually threw out two iron balls, which flew straight into the crossbow carts.

The man in front of them was not an alarmist. Zhao Nande and Lie Shu widened their eyes in horror and immediately realized that these two iron balls might cost them their lives.

"Run away!" Zhao Nande's face turned pale and he ran away desperately.

Lie Shu also reacted quickly. He followed Zhao Nande closely, and the two rushed to a safe area together.

Mo Ye stood on the roof, watching Zhao Nande and Lie Shu fleeing in a panic, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He did not stay, flew south, and easily left this city that was about to be destroyed.

"Buzz——" There was a low sound at first, and then the "buzz" sound instantly turned into a deafening "boom——!!!", as if a crack had appeared in the sky, and thousands of thunders roared, shaking every inch of space.

This was the first time that Zhao Nande and Lie Shu experienced the explosion process of black gunpowder up close.

Clearly feeling the heat wave, the two were unable to escape and had to pull a few ordinary soldiers in front of them.
