Chapter 853: Open the Entrance
Looking at the aggrieved eyes of his subordinates, Li An really wanted to laugh, this really can't be blamed on his subordinates, the entrance to the pyramid is too hidden, if he didn't know where it is, it would be impossible to find such a hidden crack, let his subordinates find such a subtle difference in the countless pyramid wall cracks, it's too difficult for them, besides, Ottoman's subordinates have spent several months, and they have never found the entrance to the pyramid, and their subordinates have only taken less than an hour, how can they find out, They are not immortals, and they have no special abilities.
"Oh, you're still reasonable, what you said just now, I've looked for it two or three times, I really can't find it, is that how I found it?"
Although he knew that his subordinates were very wronged, he still had to be reprimanded, so as to better reflect Ang Lee's ability, and at the same time, he could also let Osman's subordinates see that his military management methods were very strict, and he was very prestigious.
The aggrieved subordinates were about to cry, but what Li An said was right, he did talk too much just now, he originally felt that since Osman's subordinates led thousands of people to find the entrance to the pyramid for several months, it was enough to show how difficult it was to find the entrance to the pyramid, in this way, it was normal for him to not find it, and he thought that Li An could not find it, so he said it very slowly, obviously not looking carefully, but insisted that his people had searched for it several times, Finding everything you can find is exaggeration and lying.
"What Li Shilang taught was that his subordinates were ineffective, and his subordinates were willing to accept punishment."
The subordinates were very helpless, so they could only admit that they were unlucky, and opened their mouths to admit their mistakes to Li An, but he was not very happy in his heart, he had seen it with his own eyes, and the difference between this gap was too small, unless he bent down and compared it carefully, otherwise, it was impossible to find anything.
Since his subordinates took the initiative to admit their mistakes, Li An couldn't say anything more, nodded and asked his subordinates to prepare immediately, and open the door of the pyramid before dark.
Ottoman's subordinates were waiting very expectantly, and now the gate of the pyramid had not been opened, so he could not send someone to report to the royal city, otherwise, if it was not the entrance that was opened, he would not be lying about the military situation.
Soon, more than a dozen Datang soldiers began to punch holes in the stones at the entrance, using manual methods to carve out a deep hole in the complete large stones, so as to easily fill the appropriate amount of explosives into it.
Although the stone of the pyramid is relatively hard, for the Tang soldiers who have professional tools, such a little difficulty is nothing, and the gap can be solved quickly.
Gunpowder and other supporting equipment were also quickly delivered, and the stones at the entrance of the pyramid could be blown away at any time.
"Li Shilang, the explosives have been buried, and all personnel must retreat immediately, at least to the side."
The subordinate spoke.
Li An waved his hand and told the crowd to disperse to the sides, looking for a suitable position to cover up to prevent the shattered stones from hitting him.
After all the personnel arrived at a safe position, the Datang soldier in charge of the detonation ignited the gunpowder fuse.
"Bang ......"
With a loud bang, a large number of shattered stones shot out in all directions, and a huge amount of smoke was raised, and after the smoke gradually dispersed, a group of soldiers went to check the situation to ensure absolute safety.
"Exploded, blew open an entrance. An entrance was blown open. ”
The soldiers who went to inspect shouted excitedly.
"I've really found the entrance, go check it out."
Many soldiers flocked to him, and the Ottoman men were no exception, more active than anyone else.
Li An didn't hurry over, because the hole was just opened, and the dirty air inside must not be good for the human body, and there was no point in rushing over, anyway, the entrance had already been opened.
"The entrance, the entrance to the pyramid, turned out to be here."
Ottoman's subordinates, when they saw the entrance to the pyramid, their faces were full of surprise and excitement, in order to find this entrance, he put in too much effort, but now, Li An has just arrived at the pyramid, and he easily found the entrance, which makes him very embarrassed, he feels that he is too useless, no, it should be said that Li An is too powerful, and he found the entrance of the pyramid so easily, which is too far beyond him, it is simply beyond his reach.
Such an important discovery, of course, had to be reported to Sultan Osman immediately, and this could not be delayed for a moment, and he immediately glanced at his entourage behind him, telling him to return to the royal city immediately and inform Osman of the news of the discovery of the entrance to the pyramid.
"Wow, that's a big hole! This is the entrance to the pyramid! ”
Li Xiaolu walked to the entrance of the pyramid and said very excitedly.
Obviously, this little beauty has the idea of entering the pyramid to find out, although it is black and rumbling, it looks very cold, but it can't stop the curiosity of the little beauty.
"There may be poisonous gas and dark arrows in it, so you're not afraid of hurting yourself?"
Li Ang reminded with a smile.
"Is it going to be so scary? If that's the case, then I'm not going. ”
Although Li Xiaolu is full of the curiosity that a girl should have, she is also very afraid of death, she will not let herself lose her life in order to satisfy her curiosity, after all, life is only once for anyone, and curiosity cannot override life.
Li An smiled and said, "I just said casually, maybe, the pyramid is not as terrible as the legend, besides, there are still people to explore the way for us, after we are sure that there is no danger inside, we will go in and have a look." ”
"Well, it's still Li Shilang's thoughtfulness."
Li An looked at Osman's subordinates and said, "The entrance has been opened, and the warriors you found can enter." ”
According to the previous agreement, Osman was responsible for recruiting brave warriors who were not afraid of death, and was specifically responsible for exploring inside the pyramid, and at this moment, the entrance to the pyramid has been opened, and this is where the recruited warriors come into play.
The Ottoman subordinates nodded, and began to use the Arabic language, ordering the recruited warriors to enter the pyramid in batches and explore the pyramid.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened, dozens of recruited warriors temporarily retreated, unwilling to enter the interior of the pyramid to explore, and wanted to break the contract and leave, and the Ottoman subordinates, of course, would not agree, and warned them in very harsh language that if they dared to repent, they would kill their entire family, and everyone must enter the pyramid to explore, and the reward should not be less.
Ang Lee couldn't understand the Arabic language, but some of Ang Lee's subordinates were fluent in Arabic, so Ang Lee knew very well what Osman's subordinates said.
The Ottoman subordinates not only told the recruited warriors that they must enter the inside of the pyramid, but also explicitly told them to pay attention to the gold and silver treasures inside, and not to take possession of them, otherwise they would be severely punished if they were found.
Under the mandatory requirements of the Ottoman subordinates, the first batch of 50 of the 200 warriors, holding torches, carefully entered the interior of the pyramid, because it was the first time to enter, so everyone was very careful, and they were also very afraid, for fear of accidentally losing their lives, and the speed of progress was very slow.
Ang Lee and most of the people waited outside the entrance, and only when the people inside figured out the situation clearly, Ang Lee would choose to enter the inside of the pyramid, so as not to enter rashly and lose his life.
"These guys who are afraid of death must have decided that we couldn't find the entrance, so they signed up to earn a little money, but they didn't expect the entrance to be found, and they didn't dare to go in because they were afraid, haha!"
Li An looked at Ottoman's subordinates and spoke.
When he decided to recruit a group of death squads, Ang Lee had already made a promise that as long as he was a warrior who signed up, he could get a good sum of money, and if he could enter the inner exploration of the pyramid, the reward would be higher, of course, if something unexpected happened, the treatment would be even further and his family could enjoy it.
In this way, some people who want to get a little money have a crooked mind, they think that it is impossible for Ang Lee and his party to find the entrance to the pyramid, and in this way, they only need to sign up to receive some money, there is nothing better than this, but unexpectedly Ang Lee soon found the entrance to the pyramid, and these people are not ready to enter the pyramid.
Under the compulsion of the Ottoman subordinates, these people who have signed up and been selected must enter the interior of the pyramid, otherwise, they will face very severe punishments, and even the lives of their families will face a huge threat, so they are very helpless and can only be forced to enter the pyramid to explore, of course, most of them are still willing.
Osman's subordinates, after hearing Li An's words, blushed slightly, and said: "These people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, you must give them some color, otherwise, they won't know who they are." It must be punished severely. ”
Li An nodded and said: "This is also what I expected, people will inevitably have the idea of being greedy for life and afraid of death, there is nothing to be ashamed of, as long as you can stand up bravely in the end, it is enough, by the way, you found such an important entrance, did you send someone to tell you about the Sultan?" ”
Osman's subordinates hurriedly nodded and said, "I have already sent someone to deliver the letter, I believe that the Sultan will soon know about the matter here." ”
"Oh, that's right! Then let's wait! Your Sultan will come, get ready to meet it! ”
Ang Lee said with a smile.
For Osman, Li Ang already has some understanding, knowing what kind of person Osman is, the entrance to the pyramid has been discovered, so Osman will definitely be eager to come and see what is going on, and Li Ang will definitely not wait too long.
In the royal city, which is not too far from the pyramids, the Egyptian Sultan Osman is reviewing documents, the Kingdom of Egypt has just been established, he needs to deal with a lot of things, and he needs to deal with a lot of things to stop the expedition of several large armies, such as the demobilization of soldiers, the placement of redundant officers, etc., many of which are not easy to deal with, there are too many interests involved, and there are many things that his subordinates cannot handle, and he must deal with them personally.
Of course, for Osman, who has a strong mindset, it is not difficult to deal with these things, he is fully capable of handling such things well, but too cumbersome things will also give him a headache.
After a period of official business, Osman closed his eyes and rested, although these official duties did not bother him, but dealing with these official duties was really very exhausting and physically exhausting, and it was easy to make people feel tired.
"Is there any movement on the other side of the pyramid?"
Osman asked, rubbing his temples.
The subordinate who was in charge of serving next to him spoke: "Sultan, there is no major movement yet, are you looking for the entrance?" Hundreds of people were busy searching. ”
"Hmph, I sent thousands of people, but I haven't found them for a few months, I don't believe that the soldiers and horses of Datang can find the entrance, just wait to watch the show!"
Uthman said with great confidence, it was clear that he trusted his men very much, and when he first arrived in Egypt, he started the pyramid doctrine because of the lack of military salaries, and after the defeat, he had to change his strategy, resorting to taxes and confiscation of the property of the resisting nobles to replenish the military salaries, and even sent troops to expand everywhere, along with the plundering of wealth.
"What the Sultan said is that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty do not have three heads and six arms, how can they find the entrance to the pyramid so easily, they will definitely not find it, the treasures in the pyramid will belong to the Sultan sooner or later."
The next subordinate is a sycophant.
Uthman was very happy to hear this, and nodded again and again: "That's right, as long as we stay in Egypt, the treasures in the pyramid will be ours, and the entire pyramid will be ours." ”
There is nothing wrong with this, the pyramid is in Egypt, as long as the Ottomans are willing, they can send people to continue to find the entrance at any time, and the pyramid is not only one near the royal city, there are many pyramids of different sizes in other places, and these pyramids will have treasures, and these treasures, sooner or later, are Ottoman's, and no one can snatch them.
However, Osman's pride did not last long, and soon, the news that Ang Lee had discovered the entrance to the pyramid reached him, catching him by surprise.
"What are you talking about, Datang discovered the entrance to the Great Pyramid, how is this possible, we haven't found it for several months, why can they find it so quickly, it's too unreasonable."
Osman was very reluctant to believe it, but facts are facts, and it was useless for him not to believe them.
"Sultan, the entrance has been opened, I saw it with my own eyes, this can't be wrong, by the way, Li Shilang of the Tang Dynasty can talk to the stone, it is the stone of the pyramid, tell him the direction of the entrance."
The subordinate spoke.
