Chapter 2: Ye Gong is a good dragon
After a while, Chen Xian barely recovered a little composure from the shock and confusion.
He picked up his binoculars and looked at the nearest village in the forest below.
The village was in the valley at his feet.
Through the telescope, Chen Xian found that this was a village with a square rammed earth wall, within the adobe wall, there were a mess of houses, most of the houses were thatched roofs, and there was a brick compound in the center of the village, and there were some more decent-looking tiled houses around this compound.
Immediately next to the village, surrounded by a small circle of farmland.
Chen Xian was sure that he had never seen such villages, thatched huts and earthen enclosures, even for him who grew up in the mountains, they were things from legends and historical materials.
There was a group of people gathered outside the fence on the east side of the village, I don't know what they were doing, it seemed to be very lively, even if it was three or four kilometers away, Chen Xian could faintly hear the shouts of people.
Looking closely through the binoculars, Chen Xian found that there seemed to be a cold-armed city wall attack and defense battle going on on the city wall east of the village.
Outside the city wall, some people were not far from the city wall, holding bows and arrows and shooting at the city wall, and another part of the people carried a long ladder and rushed to the city wall, resisting the blow, climbing upward, from time to time someone fell down the ladder, and the terrible screams kept coming.
On the walls of the city stood a dense crowd of people, some with spears, swords and shields, attacking those who climbed up the ladder, others with stones, carrying logs and throwing them down, and others behind the battlements, shooting down with bows and arrows.
Chen Xian moved the telescope and looked around to see if there were any cameras, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see anything related to filming.
Although the military telescope in Chen Xian's hand is of good quality, the distance is a little far after all, and it is not real to see, and it is impossible to judge whether what happened under the mountain is a fake or real.
Although he really wanted to find out the truth of the matter, Chen Xian did not act rashly.
What happened today was so weird that he didn't dare to act rashly.
Chen Xian lay down on a large rock and took a telescope to observe everything that happened under the mountain.
He found that behind the besiegers, there were about a hundred soldiers in armor, huddled behind a dozen knights in more neat armor and cloaks, several of whom were pointing in the direction of the village.
After about an hour or so, after the besieging side had been beaten back for the third time, the man in the middle of the knights waved his hand, and about half of the armored soldiers began to form a line, changing shields and swords, mixed in with the ordinary infantry, and rushed towards the city wall.
The armoured men attacked the city walls, and soon gained a foothold on the walls, and under their cover, ordinary soldiers continued to climb the walls, and the eastern walls were finally lost.
Subsequently, the siege armor soldiers who climbed the city wall gathered together, rushed down the city wall, and attacked the city gate, the defenders who lost the city wall were already a little panicked and shaken, and after a fight, they could not stop the attack of the besiegers, and the city gate was captured and opened, and the enemy outside the city swarmed in, and the village was completely lost......
The siege army that rushed into the village rushed straight to the brick compound in the center of the village.
Soon after, offensive and defensive battles began again around the compound.
The courtyard wall was not as good as the city wall, and under the leadership of the armor soldiers, the siegers used ladders to continuously cross the courtyard wall and gain a firm foothold within the wall.
When enough soldiers had climbed into the walls, the besiegers, led by the armoured men, fought towards the gate of the compound.
Soon, the gates were opened, and the besiegers swarmed in......
Next, Chen Xian's telescopic camera staged a scene of burning, killing, and looting, and the armored warriors of the besieging side searched around the brick compound, killing men when they saw them, and pounced on women when they saw them, pulling the struggling women, and casually burrowing into the nearest house......
Sometimes there were even five or six men who entered the house with a woman in their arms, and in some of the more remote corners, Chen Xian even saw someone throwing the woman to the ground in the courtyard and tearing up her clothes......
The ordinary soldiers who were driven out of the brick compound by the armor soldiers were not idle, and they rushed into the huts around them in groups of three or five, wantonly killing and abusing them......
Fortunately, the distance is relatively far, even with military binoculars, he can't see it too clearly, plus Chen Xian always doubts the authenticity of everything that happened in front of him, so this brutal killing did not scare him.
The besieging side wreaked havoc in the village for three or four hours, until the sun set in the west, when it was fully loaded, leaving only the silent village and corpses all over the ground.
Watching the bandits leave, Chen Xian had no intention of going down the mountain to take a look, he didn't want to enter the hell-looking village at night, even if it wasn't true, it would scare people to death.
Chen Xian took one last look at the village that was still smoking, turned and walked into the woods, following the traces he had left when he came, towards the location of his pickup truck.
Chen Xian hurried and finally returned to the car before dark.
Sitting back in the cab, Chen Xian took out a bottle of mineral water from the storage drawer in front of the co-pilot, drank the entire bottle of mineral water in one go, and spread it on the seat and gasped, like a sleepy beast.
In his mind, a word kept churning, "crossing......
Everything he saw today, the familiar and unfamiliar valleys, the strange villages, the brutal siege battles wielding cold weapons, and the savage killing and looting, all made Chen Xian faintly realize that the strange things he encountered were probably related to the crossing.
As a fan of ancient war, Chen Xian has fantasized more than once about what it would be like for him to travel back to ancient times, but when such a thing was really in front of him, he was left with fear and confusion in his heart......
After sitting on the seat for more than ten minutes, watching the light outside the car window dim little by little, Chen Xian suddenly jumped up from the seat, opened the car door, and ran out.
Rushing out of the cab, Chen Xian went around to the cargo box behind the pickup, pulled a cardboard box tightly wrapped in tape paper out of the compartment, still on the ground, and tore it hard.
Tearing open the cardboard box, inside is a woven bag that is folded and wrapped in layers, Chen Xian violently shook off the woven bag, and with the sound of metal impact, a bunch of things made of rectangular metal sheets in series, and the inferior gauze sandwiched in the metal braid and used as shock absorption, shook out of the woven bag together.
This piece of metal braid, a Chinese-style armor, was ordered from an HMB (medieval fighting) enthusiast in Tianjin who spent a lot of money.
Chen Xian went to the city to purchase this time, and just by the way, he sent the completed product to the customer by courier.
Shaking off the armor, Chen Xian put the armor parts scattered all over the place on himself.
On the surface, this armor looks no different from the traditional Chinese armor, but in fact, it has been redesigned by Chen Xian, and it has become very different.
It is lighter, more protective and more versatile than real traditional armor, which is after all something made with modern craftsmanship and materials.
Traditional heavy armor is often impossible to wear on its own, and someone must help.
But because of the completely different design of this armor from ancient armor, it does not need help from others at all, and the use of a large number of belt buckles makes this armor very convenient to wear.
Chen Xian put on his armor with all his hands and feet, looked down at his steel-protected body, and let out a few slightly nervous laughs, which looked particularly permeable in the dim woods of the evening.
After putting on his armor, Chen Xian squeezed into the cab with difficulty, closed the door, and rolled up the window.
The sense of security brought by the iron armor and the closed cab finally made Chen Xian, who was in chaos in his mind, relax a little.
As he relaxed, Chen Xian's chaotic brain finally came to some senses, and he smiled self-deprecatingly and took off his helmet and iron gloves.
The biggest difference between this armor and traditional Chinese armor is the protection of the head, hands, and feet.
For these three parts, Chen Xian adopted Western-style iron boots and iron gloves, and added a movable visor similar to the style of the helmet to the Chinese helmet.
This is an improvement to adapt to the actual combat confrontation of HMB (Medieval Fighting) matches and to protect the players.
With the helmet and iron gloves still in the passenger seat, Chen Xian opened the storage drawer in front of the passenger and reached for the cigarette and lighter.
He grabbed the cigarette in his hand and used the middle and forefinger of the same hand to clip the lighter.
This was originally a simple action that couldn't be simpler, and it didn't even need to be thought about, Chen Xian repeated it a few times, but he couldn't pick up the lighter, and at this time, he found that his hands were shaking like a sieve.
Looking at his right hand shaking like an epileptic seizure, Chen Xian's emotions finally got out of control, he dropped the cigarette hard, covered his face and couldn't help choking, and the day's fright seemed to have turned into a low whimper......
Maybe he was too tired after tossing for a long time, or maybe it was a series of stimuli and blows that made him exhausted, Chen Xian actually fell asleep in a whimper......
