Chapter 243 Chen Bing in the City
The bluestone wall looks down on the mountain and strangles the main road into the mountain, which is clearly designed to defend the bottom of the mountain.
But this position is unavoidable......
I couldn't help but have an idea in my mind: Dan Island is not actually nine layers, but should be divided into two layers, the lower layer is the territory occupied by the mutated monsters on Dan Island, and the upper layer is the territory of Danshi.
The upper Danshi divides Dan Island in two with a wall, which is used to defend against the attacks of monsters and protect the peace of Danshi.
Isn't it tantamount to exposing myself to the other party's crossbow when I rush up directly like this?
I hid in the grass and watched for a while, but I couldn't help but frown when I didn't see anyone in the city.
According to common sense, there should be soldiers patrolling the night at this time, but not only was the wall empty, but even the light of the lighting could not be seen at all. Why did the people in the city monitor the whole island? Besides, just now, the three layers of Dandao were in flames, could it be that the Danshi in the city were not seen at all?
Or is there no Danshi on this island anymore?
I tried to touch the bottom of the city, and looked between the walls and the top of the city, but I saw large and small gaps in the walls. I casually compared the gap in the wall, which seemed to have been carved out of an iron skewer and was the size of a foot.
If someone wanted to attack the city, they didn't even need to use a ladder, it was enough to climb to the top of the city by relying on a hole in the wall - it had been attacked before...... No, it was not people who attacked the city, and it was impossible for manpower to dig a groove like a honeycomb in the city wall, so it was clear that something had broken the bluestone on the city with its fingers and claws, and forcibly climbed to the top of the city.
Is this a dead city?
I glanced back in Si Ruo's direction, and there was no movement there, indicating that Si Ruo's killing array had not been broken yet, and I still had time to arrange it calmly.
I hesitated for a moment before grabbing onto the hole in the wall and speeding up to the top of the city.
I couldn't help but gasp before my feet hit the ground—the walls were not devoid of soldiers, hundreds of soldiers were all kneeling with their backs to the inside of the walls, and bronze long ges were neatly placed in the hands of the soldiers, ready for them to rise and meet the enemy.
Hundreds of soldiers do not say a word, but the military appearance is neat, the military power is still there, just with the neat lineup is enough to make people frightened.
I cautiously descended from the top of the city, and after a few steps against the outer wall, I saw a large purple flag lying horizontally on the ground—Qi.
Qi: This is the military flag of the Qi country?
Yes, these soldiers all use bronze ge, they are at least from before the Western Han Dynasty.
Bronze Ge from the Yin Shang era to the Warring States period is the main battle weapon of the army, especially the car battle, Changge is indispensable, the Qin Dynasty is still in use, until the Western Han Dynasty was eliminated.
The weapons of this group of soldiers are mainly Changge, indicating that they should come from the former Qin.
During the Warring States Period, the Yin-Yang doctrine prevailed, and the flags and main colors of the clothing of the major vassal states were very particular. It is said that the color of the battle flag is the country's natural virtue, for example, the Qin State, which advocates water virtue, is all black from the battle flag to the military uniform.
In the country of Qi, Jiang Qi still regarded the virtue of the Son of Heaven as his virtue, and his banners and costumes were red, which was changed to purple in the Tian Qi era.
How could the soldiers of the Qi State appear here? The Qi State also has Danshi Chuang Island?
Wrong!
A flash of inspiration struck me.
Xu Fu is a native of Qi.
Xu Fu, whose name is Junfang, was a famous scholar and Taoist celebrity in the Qin Dynasty, who served as the imperial physician of Qin Shi Huang and was born in the Qi State during the Warring States Period.
One of the theories that Xu Fu was ordered to go to sea to find the immortal elixir was to preserve the bloodline of the Qi Kingdom. According to legend, most of the five hundred boys and girls taken away by Xu Fu were descendants of the Qi Kingdom, and it was false that he went to sea to find medicine, and it was true that he wanted to preserve the bloodline of the Qi Kingdom.
Xu Fu has been to this island?
At least that's what Xu You said.
Xu Fu's final destination is generally believed to be to Japan, but the "Historical Records" records: Qin Shi Huang Dayue, sent 3,000 men and women, and traveled with all kinds of grains. Xu Fu got the plain Guangze, and the king did not come.
Xu Fu here is Xu Fu, but why Sima Qian changed Xu Fu's name is unknown.
What Sima Qian meant was that Xu Fu found a "plain Guangze", that is, a place with abundant water and grass, set himself up as king, and never returned. However, it is not known what exactly the so-called "plain Guangze" is.
More importantly, since Xu Fu had established himself as king overseas, how did Sima Qian know that Xu Fu had found the land of "Plains and Guangze"? Could it be that Xu Fu's subordinates had returned to Middle-earth and reported Xu Fu's whereabouts to Qin Shi Huang?
Will Xu Fu allow his men to return, or will just a few people be able to cross the ocean in the Qin Dynasty, where navigation skills are extremely backward?
None of this is realistic.
It is precisely because of the vague records in the "Historical Records" that Xu Fu's whereabouts have become an unsolved case for the ages.
Could it be that the things recorded in the "Historical Records" are also a "code for exploring the gods"?
After thinking about it a few times, a strange thought popped up in my head - Xu Fu was calculating Qin Shi Huang.
Although Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms still had huge power hidden among the people.
If Xu Fu's immigration is true, then Xu Fu is one of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms who are hiding among the people. Otherwise, how could Xu Fu be able to collect so many boys and girls belonging to the Qi Kingdom?
Qin Shi Huang was one of the most powerful of the Chinese emperors, and if he had known that Xu Fu had established himself as king overseas, would he have sent troops to recruit him? The answer is yes. The Qin army went to sea, and the country was empty, wasn't it an opportunity for the nobles of the six countries to rise up?
Thinking deeper, if Xu Fu used Dandao as bait, would he make Qin Shi Huang believe that this was Penglai? If Xu Fu could design the first emperor to drive the expedition in person, the Qin State would surely perish.
This city wall is easy to defend and difficult to attack, coupled with the endless killings under Dan Island, once the Qin army falls into Dan Island, it will not be in response to the sentence: One Dan can slaughter a million troops?
I couldn't help but look down the city walls, and there were three ships parked under the dark walls. One of the building ships was facing the city gate, and the crossbows on both sides of the ship were side by side, and countless armor soldiers were kneeling on both sides, with a posture of waiting for battle.
If Xu Fu was really on this ship, he must be in the center of the ship.
I looked at the owner of the building, and I couldn't help but feel a trance in front of me. My gaze seemed to travel thousands of miles in an instant, through time and space, and collided with the ancient corpse sitting in the center of the ship.
I was at the head of the city, and he was in the cabin, but our eyes seemed to meet in the air without hindrance.
At that moment, I actually saw a smile on the corner of the other person's mouth.
"Daddy!" I shouted.
The ancient corpse in the robe in the building boat looked exactly like my father.
No, that's my dad!
Perhaps, I will mistake a face, but I will never mistake those eyes.
I've looked at my dad countless times, and I'm all too familiar with his gaze.
I was about to jump off the building with my hands on the head of the city, but suddenly there was a loud bang behind me. When I turned back, half of the mountain cracked, tortoiseshell-like cracks all over the hillside, and the black gas like wolf smoke rose up to the sky one after another, and the mountain fire that had been extinguished was instantly rekindled, and the flames of sparks from both sides of the ground suddenly turned into a prairie fire, and rolled wildly towards the top of the mountain.
Earthfire?
It can't be a volcanic eruption, right?
I was immediately scared into a cold sweat. When I looked down further, I saw that Si Ruo had been trapped on a rock that looked like an island, and the cracks in the ground were crisscrossing Si Ruo, and the flames were splashing, and Si Ruo had become precarious.
"Si Ruo, hold on!" I held the city head with my left hand and jumped down to the boat. After my feet stepped on the board at the same time, I ran desperately to the cabin: "Dad, Dad...... I'm Wang Huan, help me, help me!"
My dad's voice rang out in the cabin: "All arms for war, listen to his arrangement." ”
The corpse soldier who had been sitting on the board of the ship burst into flames and looked at me with bloodshot eyes, I suddenly turned around and pointed at the city gate: "Rush out of the city." ”
The two corpse soldiers quickly jumped out of the side of the ship and circled behind the ship......
I had just heard a sound from the stern of the ship that sounded like a wire breaking, and the wooden boat leaning on the hillside collided with a sudden acceleration towards the city gate.
As soon as the shadow of the gate covered my head, I rolled over and fell to the ground, holding my head with both hands. In the next moment, the loud sound of the ship hitting the city gate suddenly set off above my head, and pieces of sawdust fell in the air like a torrential rain.
I have long seen that the building ship is much higher than the city gate, and the only way to get out of the city quickly is to crash the building boat.
In a matter of moments, the wooden building of the ship was flattened by the city gate, and the huge wooden ship rushed down the hill with half of the covered cabin on top of it. By the time I looked up, the boat had already rushed to less than fifty meters away from Si Ruo.
"Si Ruo, hold on!" I grabbed a piece of rope on the bow of the boat, jumped off the deck, and swung desperately towards Si Ruo, grabbing Si Ruo's palm and pulling her into the air.
Before Si Ruo and I could stabilize our bodies, the boat crushed down from the rock where Si Ruo was, and I saw the stones split in front of the hull, and shouted, "Find a way to stop the boat!"
I knew I couldn't come and go freely in the fire, so I had to force the boat through it. However, the wooden boat could not stop the momentum of the forward rush, and we were still burned to death on the mountain.
As soon as my roar fell, there was a sound of an iron anchor falling from the stern of the ship, and the corpse soldiers on the ship tried to drag the hull with the anchor, but the wooden boat rushing to the bottom of the mountain only paused for a moment, and then swooped down to the bottom of the mountain again.
Although the flames were struck by the bow of the ship, the scorching heat was still steaming, and I roared again: "Pull me onto the boat, hurry!"
By the time the corpse soldiers on board quickly dragged me to the bow, the entire wooden ship had rushed into the center of the fire, and wherever I looked, there was only a crimson glow.
