Chapter 189: Nuqing Xiangxi Divine Arm Bed Child

Chen Xiazi knew that this was a sign that the harem in the tomb was about to start, and in an instant, thousands of arrows would be fired. He was able to lead the thieves in the world, so he was extraordinary. Faced with this dangerous situation, he calmed down, knowing that if everyone else Running away and jumping around indiscriminately will lead to death and no life. The only way is to stick to the situation and find a loophole. Maybe there is still a chance of survival. He doesn't bother to explain it carefully to Luo Laowai, and hurriedly blows a whistle to call the group of thieves to stabilize their position. Set up a rattan grass shield for defense.

The group of thieves shouted in unison and erected rattan shields around the phalanx, while those inside the array held rattan shields above their heads to block it. Fire and poisonous smoke are very common in ancient tombs. The tools for unloading the tomb, whether ladders or shields, were soaked in potion. , can withstand fire, and immediately tightened the formation to protect it airtight.

Luo Laowai led a few engineers to leave the phalanx. They saw that the bandits had put up shields to protect the formation like an iron barrel. They also heard the sound of the machine at the top of the city, and they knew something was wrong. Fleeing towards the formation like flying, Chen Xiazi also directed the group of thieves to get closer to them. Almost at the same time, random arrows from the four walls were shot down.

In the rain of arrows and flying locusts, several engineers were a little slow and were shot to the ground on the spot. Luo Laowai was a figure who crawled out from among the dead. Seeing that the momentum was not good, he burrowed into the cracks among the people. , using several of his brothers as living shields, he finally struggled to escape back to the four-door shield array of the Xiling group of bandits, without even injuring a single hair.

Blind Chen was protected by a group of thieves. He heard arrows shooting out like rain from all around, hitting the shields and falling one after another. Although the arrows were old, their power was still astonishing. He secretly complained, and then thought again, this array Although the arrow rain was powerful, it protected the surrounding area with shields, and even water splashing could not get in. It only took a moment, and the city's machinery would eventually be exhausted. If it weren't for the large number of thieves in the Xiling group and the sophisticated equipment, , I’m afraid it’s hard to escape this misfortune.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I had these lucky thoughts, I felt burning. It turned out that some arrows contained fire phosphorus, which ignited in the wind. There was also a lot of fire oil and fish paste hidden among the bones in the city, and the fire was immediately triggered, like a burning flame. In the city, a group of thieves were caught in a sea of ​​fire, and there was a chaos in the formation. Blind Chen hurriedly asked the brothers outside to just block the random arrows, while those inside used the "centipede hanging ladder" to push out the bones around everyone, and pushed the wall of fire away. After such a slight chaos, gaps were exposed in the shield array. Immediately, several thieves were injured by the arrows. The sharp clusters were barbed and could not be pulled out after they were inserted into the flesh. They screamed in pain like killing pigs.

Although the Xieling bandits pushed the nearby skeletons away, there was still a fire under their feet. It turned out that there were flammable oil bricks buried underground, but the kerosene in the oil bricks had evaporated a lot, and the burning momentum was not strong. Even so, it was enough to burn the soles of the feet black. Blind Chen cursed: "Yuan Gou is so vicious, I really want to kill them all!" Seeing that the fire was getting stronger, it was so scorching that it was difficult for everyone to even breathe, as if there was a rush in their throats. When the fire and ashes come out, as long as someone in the group is timid and confused, the formation will disperse. Then every one of the bandits who enter the Wengcheng will not be able to escape. Even if they are not burned to death, they will be burned. He was shot alive and turned into a hedgehog. Whether he could hold on for a moment or three was the key to life and death. He immediately did not dare to neglect and shouted quickly, "Brothers, listen to my order, stay in the building and leave the youth behind!"

The group of thieves were overwhelmed by the fierce fire, like a group of ants on a hot pot. They were about to burst into chaos when they heard the order from the leader of the thieves to set up a "bamboo ladder tower". Fortunately, the group of thieves had a leader, and they hurriedly hung several "centipedes" on the mountain. The "ladder" was propped up in one place, and a simple "bamboo tower" was erected above the big stone coffin where the fire was weakest. When the ground was a little further away, the panicked thieves gradually stabilized, but after all this movement, several people were inevitably injured.

At this time, the arrow rain was concentrated in the area where the coffins were arranged, and they kept shooting at the place where the fire was weakest. Fortunately, the angle of the machine was fixed, and after figuring out the pattern, it could be withstood as much as possible. However, the "centipede hanging mountain ladder" frame There was a fire all around the completed bamboo tower, and the bandits seemed to be trapped on an isolated island in the sea of ​​fire. Blind Chen took the opportunity to take a look at the enemy tower by the light of the fire. His face was ashen.

I saw that the top of the city was covered with machines, and there were countless wooden figures standing behind them. Those wooden figures were as tall as ordinary people, and their structures were very simple. The armor and robes they wore were rotten, and their wooden pile-like heads were covered with oil With painted faces, staring eyes and silent expressions, they were divided into two teams, constantly repeating the action of "carrying arrows to mount babies, hanging strings to shoot". There was a mercury well in the watchtower as an opportunity. Once the mercury began to circulate, The cycle will go on and on until the bow is exhausted or the mechanism collapses.

Blind Chen had smelled something strange in the enemy tower before. It was because there was a mercury well hidden in the tower. Before he could make a detailed analysis, he had already triggered an ambush. It turned out that in Huang Lao's art of cultivating immortals and refining elixirs, lead and mercury were used. One of the very important reasons why emperors seeking immortality in the past chose Pingshan as a place to make alchemy is that Chenzhou is rich in cinnabar. Chenzhou sand can extract the best mercury. Western Hunan is rich in mercury, but after all, Dongyi There have been many civil unrests in Miscellaneous Area since ancient times. Emperor Daojun was worried that the elixir would be taken away by the rebels, so he secretly stationed the Forbidden Army to guard it. After a long time of operation, he built a pass in the heart of the mountain.

The Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs. The commanders were all incompetent people who talked about military affairs on paper. They had no real knowledge in military matters. They only wanted to deal with the emperor's envoys. They didn't care whether the city gate could play any military role. Moreover, Song Huizong thought he was a barefoot immortal descended to the earth. In his life, he loved all kinds of magic. There was a favored Taoist Duobao in front of the emperor. He claimed to be good at the art of mechanical springs. He imitated Zhuge Wuhou's wooden ox and flowing horse and invented many mechanical devices, all of which were used by the emperor in the army.

And because the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty were most afraid of being beaten down, the tomb owner and the tomb robbers were incompatible with each other. It was a cruel contest between the dead and the living. It is not an exaggeration to call it a duel, because whoever fell The tomb owner's body will not end well. The body of the tomb owner was obtained by the people who removed the mountain. It must be "beating the teeth to remove the elixir, scraping the jade naked, peeling the skin and removing the rings, and gouging the intestines to look for beads." Even if it is the punishment of burning the body, it is not like this It's cool; and the anti-theft mechanisms set up by the tomb owners are mostly insidious and vicious. If you count the mechanisms of "burning with fire, burying alive in quicksand, crushing bones with boulders, and poisoning with rot", there is no trace of mercy in them. ?

False tombs were very popular during that period, so in the Yuan Dynasty there were many sayings about "corpse removal sites". In fact, they were all fake mounds to confuse thieves. If it is broken, it is assumed that the tomb owner has already ascended to immortality, and no one will investigate the true location of the tomb chamber.

The tomb passage in the gate of Pingshan leads directly to this trap-like urn city. If the tomb robbers used oxen and horses to dig here, it would be impossible for a large team of people to do it, so they would build this gate to protect the immortal palace and create a virtual tomb. The passage connecting to the real tomb was isolated, and the original mechanism was used to modify it. It turned into a ghost army protecting the tomb, aiming to catch all the thieves who dared to come in and fight. It was an insidious virtual tomb trap.

Blind Chen is not really good at calculations, and his past experience cannot be used in the tomb renovated from the Taoist Immortal Palace in Pingshan. He just guessed it, but he did not expect it to be like this. At this time, if he has some enlightenment , I couldn't help but feel that there was a chill in the seams between my bones. Although those wooden man-machine cubs were dead things, they were all movable. As soon as the cuboid machines were used up, there were wooden men loading arrows. I don't know how many arrows were stored in the city. When it was time to repair, the fire spread in the city. After being trapped on the bamboo tower for a long time, the hot air flow alone became unbearable.

These ambush agencies with a sea of ​​arrows and fire may not play any practical role in the actual attack and defense of the battle formation. However, the Xieling group of thieves came in to rob the tombs and not to attack the city. In addition, they did not expect it in advance. They lost the opportunity as soon as they came up and were inevitably at a disadvantage. More than a hundred people were trapped on the bamboo tower struggling to support themselves.

At this time, Luo Laowai also calmed down. He was originally a brave and ruthless Tai Sui, but when he saw the wooden figures with angry eyes on all sides of the city, he didn't know how the mechanism worked, so he thought it was really true. The Yin soldiers guarding the mausoleum in the tomb came to attack, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, but the temper of the ruthless bandits was angry, so how could they care about them? Even if he really entered the Senluo Palace, he still wanted to fight a trapped beast, so he ordered his men to shoot at the top of the city. He himself drew out his two guns and fired left and right. There was a loud sound of gunfire and bullets flying everywhere.

The wooden figures at the top of the city have extremely tight wood and a very simple structure. The wood is durable and not easily damaged. Even if they are hit by bullets, it will not have much impact on their actions. Moreover, the situation is chaotic. Luo Laowai and others It was difficult to tell whether he hit the target when he fired in a hail of gunfire and arrows. But his eyes were red, and he shot out the bullets in the two revolvers in an instant. He gritted his teeth and loaded and fired again. As a result, his movements ranged greatly. He was a little older, and the military cap on his head was shot off by an arrow from the city. He was so frightened that he hurriedly shrank his neck and hid his head, cursing those eight generations of ancestors of the Yin Soldiers and Ghost Army.

Blind Chen held down Luo Laowai and told him not to make any mistakes. He raised his eyes and saw the watchtower on the city. He expected that the main hub of the pin mechanism was inside. His mind changed. He had to destroy the mercury mechanism in the watchtower to stop it. Only with this rain of arrows can we have a chance to escape, but it is not easy to climb to the top of the city in the chaos of arrows. Even if we can avoid the rain of locust arrows, the city is full of fire. Who has the ability? Flying through fire?

Blind Chen looked at the "centipede-hanging mountain ladder" at his feet and had some concerns in his mind. He showed off his bravery for a moment and was about to risk his life, but was suddenly grabbed by the mute Kunlun Moleh. It turned out that this Kunlun Moleh was not He was deaf and mute. He could not speak, but his hearing was still there. He had followed Blind Man Chen for many years. Seeing the leader's demeanor, he understood his intention and quickly made a gesture to climb to the top of the city through fire and water for Blind Man Chen. After destroying the watch tower filled with mercury, he slapped his chest with his palms, glared and stuck out his tongue, and wiped his neck with gestures. What he probably meant was - the mute's life belongs to the leader of thieves, so how can he prevent death?

Blind Chen knew that Kunlun Molle was a wild man in the mountains. His agility was unusual and beyond the reach of ordinary people. If he went there, he might have a chance of success. He could hold on to the bamboo ladder and jump across the sea of ​​fire. As long as he reached the bottom of the city wall, he would be there. The blind spot that the shot could not reach was already scorching hot under the feet. Without further ado, he nodded to the mute and ordered him to risk his life and go to the city.

But before the mute Kunlun Molec could take action, he suddenly heard the sound of strings being twisted from high places around him. Although the sound of the strings of the wooden man's machine was dense, it was not so violent. A group of thieves clung to the bamboo tower. My heart trembled when I heard it, I wonder what could be causing this?

Suddenly, there was a loud sound and a sharp sound of breaking wind. Everyone looked up and were stunned. A big arrow as thick as a human arm came like a shooting star and was as powerful as thunder, carrying a golden stream. The wind shot out from a giant child at the top of the city and rushed straight down the bamboo tower where the bandits gathered.

There were some experts among the thieves who recognized that it was the "god-armed bed child" used by military commanders in ancient times. Even the rammed earth walls could be shot through. However, the group of thieves could not dodge under the fierce fire and arrows, and the bed child was powerful. The heavy blow came so fast that I had no time to dodge when I saw it. The giant one was at my side in the blink of an eye. One of the gangsters who was the first to bear the brunt of the attack suddenly saw the momentum. He didn't even have time to scream, so he had to bite the bullet and use the shield with his shield. Hardwired.

The shield can defend against ordinary arrows, but against the giant arrows used to shoot the city, it is no more than a mantis arm blocking a car. The arrows from the three-pointed awl smashed the shield into pieces, and penetrated the gangster. Toru, with his remaining power still intact, pierced the two engineers behind him. Their flesh and blood were shattered and shot into a string of nails on the ground. A bloody alley was forced out of the bamboo tower, and random arrows were shot in. Someone was hit by arrows one after another. After falling off the bamboo ladder and rolling into the fire, the mute Kunlun Moleh was also hit by several arrows.

The rest of the people were stunned. The corpses that had been shot through had splashed blood all over Luo Laowai's face. Before the bandits could close the gap that had been shot through by the rapist, several more strings were strung up on the city, and several " The "bed child" flew out in response to the string and shot from different directions. Luo Laowai's face was covered with hot human blood. As soon as he wiped it, he saw a cold star flashing in front of his eyes. Before he could see clearly , that hard child Po Feng had already shot in front of him.

"Bedzi" is a sharp weapon in ancient wars. The shape of the bed is like a wooden bed, with three strong strings in the "front, middle and back". There are two winches behind the bed to pull the strings. It is powerful and heavy, and is designed for shooting. The soldiers and generals of the Jin Kingdom, the sworn enemy of the Northern Song Dynasty, who hid behind "zhai gates, shield formations, and earthen walls" were particularly afraid of such head-on strong women, and they all called them "god children" and mourned them. There are too many to count, but the winches of the God's Arms are slow to move, so they are a little slower than ordinary ones. However, at this moment, the more than ten "God's Arms" hidden on the walls around the city are activated one by one by the machine. The divine force roared down and shot down, immediately defeating the formation that the Xiling bandits were barely holding up. (To be continued. If you want to know what happened, please log in.
