Chapter 31: The Tomb

Rumble!

An explosion rang out throughout the night, and a group of black-pressed cavalrymen with long knives in their hands launched a desperate charge, even if there were constantly terrifying explosions around them that knocked their comrades off their horses, the rest of the people were still bravely trying to move forward. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yuan Yun stood on the periphery of Xiao Pass wearing black armor, looking at the cavalry constantly pouring out from the tube, he felt that the other party seemed to be very persistent and very unwise, what was the use of charging like this?

The gunpowder packs thrown by more than forty catapults would have been blown up even by modern armies armed to the teeth, let alone these fools who charged with their bodies.

While! A crisp sound was heard.

Yuan Yun looked down at the position of his breastplate, and a sharp arrow was inserted into the armor for half a minute, which made Yuan Yun a little admired, these knights who did not have stirrups could even ride and shoot, this kind of army seemed to be very rare, and I didn't want Lu Bu to have so many here.

Dangdang, the continuous crisp sound kept coming out, and after the enemy lost eighty percent of the men and horses, there were still more than a hundred people rushing closer, and they kept firing arrows from their horses, and the targets were all Yuan Yun and Cao Ang, because the armor they were wearing was too eye-catching.

Seeing that more than a hundred people had already charged to the foot of the hill, Yuan Yun was shocked, hand-to-hand combat was not his strong point, let alone raising his sword to fight with the enemy, he didn't even have a sword at his waist now.

After a moment's effort, Yuan Yun fled from the top of the hill in a panic, but he tripped over the stone and rolled several times in a row before he was caught by Shi Shen.

At this time, Yuan Yun was covered with arrow feathers all over his body, just like a hedgehog, and he rolled down, and immediately made a gray face, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like an African coal miner, and he looked very embarrassed.

Shi Shen suppressed the wild laughter in his heart, and then helped Yuan Yun and said: "The enemies who rushed up were all killed by Cao Ang Shizi, it was quite powerful, one sword and one sword, some were cut off together with the body of the horse, the prince was like a god descending from the earth, but unlike some people, he could only roll over and roll down the mountain." ”

Yuan Yun frowned, and retorted angrily: "Rushing up to hundreds of people, are they all killed by Cao Ang's son?" Braggart isn't like that, either. ”

Shi Shen said with a smile: "When I got to the nearest place, there were more than a hundred people, and there were not a few people left on this hillside, Cao Ang Shizi gave an order, and the arrow feathers with the flames rushed out, and they exploded in an instant when they pierced the people, and there was not even a single seriously injured, all of them were torn apart." ”

Yuan Yun kicked the stone that was holding him to the side, and then dragged his aching body back up to the top of the hill, which was really a mess, the hillside was full of enemy corpses, and there was really no one intact.

Glancing at the soldiers who were already equipped with new crossbow arrows, Yuan Yun smiled self-deprecatingly at the corner of his mouth.

It's really embarrassing to run away just now, even if the enemy is close, these crossbowmen are not vegetarians, they have been transformed several times by the steel crossbows in their hands, not to mention these unarmored light cavalry, even if they encounter heavy cavalry, they can shoot through the opponent at such a close distance.

Cao Ang was covered in blood, and when he saw Yuan Yun coming up again, he just smiled and said: "More than a thousand cavalry were wiped out in front of him in an instant, it is estimated that Chen Gong never dreamed that the most elite knights under him would charge in a wave, and they were all killed before they even reached the mountain, haha, hurry up." ”

Looking at the big sword in Cao Ang's hand, the blood trough on it was still dripping blood, and then looking at the smile on Cao Ang's face, Yuan Yun suddenly shuddered, and said a few steps away: "Brother Cao Ang, you won't have that kind of hemophilia, right?" Do you want to find a Lang Zhong to show you, anyway, the medical camp in the back has nothing to do. ”

Cao Ang didn't pay attention to it directly when he heard this, but picked up Chen Gong's military flag, wiped the blood stains on the big sword, and then re-sheathed it with a bang, and then said: "Chen Gong doesn't have many people guarding Xiao Pass, so it won't cause us any damage, and it may not be so simple when dealing with Lu Bu in Xiapi later." ”

"Hey, hey, your dad won't let us do anything, right? He himself has tens of thousands of people, so what is it to let our 500 gunpowder army rush to the front? Yuan Yun was a little indignant, since he received the military order yesterday, he was very uncomfortable.

Damn, a group of invincible generals, plus a group of perverted strategists, actually let their five hundred gunpowder troops take the lead, and they didn't give any protection to the left and right flanks, and now he and Cao Ang have been alone for more than a hundred miles, if they are attacked by Lu Bu, it is not a joke, after all, they plus the medical camp have no more than a thousand.

Cao Ang heard Yuan Yun say this, and was about to answer, but suddenly saw a fire burning on Xiao Pass, almost setting the entire pass on fire, and if his side wanted to enter, I am afraid that he could only wait until the fire was extinguished.

"Chen Gong fled, this fire is used to stop us." Cao Ang looked at Xiao Guan, who was ignited at the foot of the hill, and said with some displeasure.

Yuan Yun also glanced at the bottom of the mountain, where the fire was majestic, almost illuminating the world in the middle of the night, and behind Xiao Guan, a long line with torches was rapidly retreating, not to mention more than 2,000 people, it is estimated that the Chen Palace is among them.

On the morning of the second day, Cao Ang finally led the gunpowder army into Xiao Pass, which had been destroyed by the Chen Palace, basically leaving nothing useful, all the grain and grass that could not be taken away were burned, and even the horses killed in battle were burned together, even some transport frames were not spared.

Cao Ang glanced at the dilapidated scene, and then ordered the whole army to continue to advance deeply, not to stay too long in Xiao Pass, but only sent a messenger to report that Xiao Pass had been completely taken.

The gunpowder army did not continue to stay, it had already been repaired overnight last night, so now everyone was full of energy, and the team was stretched in a long straight line, and continued to advance in the direction of Xiapi.

In the early afternoon.

"Mr. Wenhe, how much is left after the firearms are liquidated?" Cao Ang asked Jia Xu on the horse's side.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and replied: "We consumed less than thirty percent last night, and the transport frame we brought is still full, so the lord doesn't have to worry about the amount of use in the back." ”

After speaking, Jia Xu frowned slightly, and continued: "We should pay attention to this person in Chen Gong, he is so embarrassed to retreat, he must be unwilling, maybe he will set up an ambush to retaliate against us, after all, we only have less than a thousand men." ”

Cao Ang nodded when he heard this, and immediately shouted to the herald beside him: "Pass my order, the front army will slow down, and the rear army will speed up." ”

Jia Xu was relieved to see Cao Ang arrange this, and then said with a smile: "Our team really can't be stretched too long, once it is ambushed, it will be broken into several pieces, and the power of firearms will probably be greatly reduced." ”

Cao Ang snorted, but put his eyes on the valley in the distance, if he was Chen Gong, he would inevitably set up an ambush there.

Jia Xu also saw it, so he suggested: "We should be stationed outside the valley, and then send scouts to closely reconnoiter before we can enter this place." ”

Cao Ang agreed with Jia Xu's opinion, so the army was encamped on the outskirts of the valley in the afternoon.

Cao Ang chose a good terrain, and still set up the military camp on a hill, and there was a spring on the top of the mountain, which saved the soldiers from the toil, and at this moment some people even jumped off the pond where the spring water gathered and began to bathe.

Cao Ang was a little displeased when he heard the sound of water, after all, it was the enemy's territory at the moment, and a war could break out at any time, so what was the matter with running to swim?

So he went to check it out in person, and before he got to the pond, he had already seen Yuan Yun and Shi Shen, Cao Ang smiled bitterly, and could only let it go.

After a few days of hard work, Yuan Yun only felt that his whole body was sticky, and he came back to life in an instant while churning in the water, but a few soldiers on the side who were fetching water were unhappy, and in desperation, he could only choose to go to the upstream position to get water.

Yuan Yun didn't care about so much, watching more than a dozen soldiers go upstream, he immediately ordered Shi Shen to go fishing, he had seen the fish-catching skills of this product before, and thought about why he had to make a bowl of fish soup at night to comfort himself, the military food he had eaten in the past few days was simply disgusting.

When Yuan Yun was thinking about what kind of fish dishes he was going to make, he suddenly heard a shout from the soldiers upstream, and ran down in panic in an instant, so frightened that Yuan Yun thought it was the enemy attacking, and was about to climb out of the pond, but he was stunned.

Damn, the upstream is the top of the mountain, and even if the enemy comes, they will come down from the mountain, and the scouts below the mountain have not reacted, so why are you worried about it? But what are these soldiers who are fetching water upstream?

Let Xiaoliu stop a soldier who was fetching water, Yuan Yuncai asked loudly: "Hey, hey, can you see the ghost in broad daylight?" ”

The soldier immediately nodded and said, "What the hell, the stone wall on the mountain has opened a big hole, and there are many villains looking out inside." ”

Yuan Yun suddenly felt a thrill, damn, did you really meet a ghost?

In an instant, Yuan Yun calmed down, and then ordered Xiao Liu to take his black martial arts armor, and after putting it on, he took a few people to the upstream.

As for ghosts and gods, he didn't think it was at all, but he was a little curious, because the soldier didn't look like he was lying, but what was the description of many villains?

In a moment, Yuan Yun escorted the frightened soldier back to the stone wall, which was made of granite, and the surface was mottled so badly that it didn't look like an artificial one.

When I took a few steps closer, I saw a large crack in it.

Yuan Yun curiously stretched out his head to take a look, and following the sunlight shining in between the cracks, he suddenly found in horror that there were really many villains inside, and they were all staring at his crack.

Yuan Yun was so frightened that he took a few steps back, which scared everyone so much that they desperately retreated, thinking that there was really a ghost, especially Shi Shen, who was already running to the pond at the bottom of the mountain.

Yuan Yun straightened his spirit, thought about it for a while, and was suddenly happy, and then pointed to Shi Shen behind him and shouted: "Get out of here, if you don't come up, this Hou Ye will beat you on the board." ”

Shi Shen was helpless, he could only come to Yuan Yun's side with a look of fear, he was extremely bold in killing people on weekdays, but what he was most afraid of was what kind of ghosts and gods.

Yuan Yun saw Shi Shen return to his side, his heart was even happier, and he patted Shi Shen on the shoulder and said: "You despised your marquis last night, I was cowardly, now I want to see which of us has a big burden, Shi Shen, you idiot, give me the lead, let's take a closer look." ”

Shi Shen shuddered, quickly knelt down, and then began all kinds of scoundrel quibbles, and almost rolled on the ground, anyway, he was unwilling to take another step forward.

Yuan Yun laughed, pointed to his nose and said, "You cowardly people dare to question the courage of this marquis, damn, let you see how powerful it is today." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun took the lead and returned the same way again, until he reached the edge of the crack in the stone wall, then squatted down, and then put his head close to the gap and began to look carefully.

The crowd behind him shouted Yuan Hou's might, especially Shi Shen, and he was the one who shouted the loudest.

After a while, Yuan Yun said to Xiao Liu: "Get a torch here." ”

When the torch was in his hands, Yuan Yun shortened slightly and got in.

Xiao Liu was afraid that the lord would lose, so he also followed, only Shi Shen was very hesitant, constantly cheering himself up at the entrance of the cave, and finally chose to control the wind outside.

After passing through the hole, as soon as I entered it, the torches instantly illuminated the inside, and it turned out that this was a stone room, and those little people were just rows of clay figurines that had been placed.

"This seems to be a tomb, look at this scale is powerful enough, open the mountain and crack the stone, this tomb is completely hewn out of the stone with a hammer." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he casually inserted the torch into the hand of a clay figure.

This clay figure was estimated to be holding something in his hands before, but it was rotten at the moment, so with his empty hands, Yuan Yun was also considered a waste.

Xiao Liu also held the torch around at this moment, and then said happily: "Lord, it seems that this is just a partial room, you see that there is a stone gate here, it is estimated that it is connected to the master of the curtain, should we ......?"

Yuan Yun immediately shook his head and said: "This is a cultural relic, which can be destroyed by our private individuals at will, and this tomb is so big, it is estimated that it is either the prince or the marquis, even if it is with me or a colleague, you can't dig the grave of your colleague, right?" ”

Where can Xiao Liu understand any cultural relics, but since the lord said so, he also gave up the idea, after all, it is very bad to dig people's graves morally, not to mention that this may be the grave of princes and nobles.

Yuan Yun casually flipped through the table in the tomb, but suddenly found that the wooden dwarf table collapsed in an instant, making dust and smoke everywhere, and countless bamboo slips that had not yet decayed were also sprinkled, one of which was written with a big seal character, Liu Wu.

Yuan Yun was stunned, searched in his mind curiously, and became happy in an instant, it turned out to be the tomb of Liu Wu, the third king of Chu in the Western Han Dynasty, no wonder it was so large-scale.

When he was proud, he only heard Cao Ang's shout from the entrance of the cave: "Brother Yun is going to mess around, the tomb of the bad guy is going to be retributed, come out quickly." ”

Yuan Yun secretly screamed, turned around and took Xiao Liu out of the tomb.

When Cao Ang saw Yuan Yun coming out, he just shook his head helplessly, and then said: "Look at the scale of this tomb, it should be a prince's, Brother Yun must not mess around." ”

Yuan Yunxin said, your Cao clan has created the earliest Jinjin lieutenant in history, and you are the ancestor of the tomb robbers, why did you start to meddle with my affairs at this time, unlucky, it is really only allowed to prevent fire from the state officials and not allow the people to light the lamp.

At this time, a Cao Ang's engagement suddenly appeared, and then said in a low voice: "Shizi, since the tomb has been found here, should we inform General Cao Ren?" ”

Cao Ang frowned, and shouted to Na Cheng: "If someone leaks half a word in this matter, it will not be forgiven!" ”

After shouting, he said to the soldiers around him: "Seal this place, add more stones, and be sure to seal it!" ”

After explaining this, Cao Ang pulled Yuan Yun down the mountain, and seemed to be very angry, and he didn't know what he had eaten wrong?

And the person who spoke before was frightened and fell to his knees, because it was rare to see Cao Ang so angry.
