Chapter 6: The Storm of Gongs
Autumn mornings are always cool, and when the morning sun shines on the morning dew among the grass and trees, the vitality gradually recovers.
The soldiers of the camp began to wake up from their sleep, and they put on their armor and walked out of the camp tents, and began to light a fire to cook in preparation for the march one day.
Everything was orderly, quiet and peaceful, but with the sound of a gong at the gate of the camp, the silence in the camp was broken.
The sound of the gong signaled that the patrolling sentinels had discovered the enemy's situation, which made everyone instantly nervous.
The soldiers began to take up arms, the officers hurriedly organized their soldiers, and even the baggage soldiers took up shovels and axes, nervously preparing for the enemy's attack.
Wang Sizong got up early today, this is the first time he is wearing a military position to lead the troops to the battle, it is false to say that he is not excited, Wang Sizong is very curious about all kinds of things in the army, and he has to personally ask about everything one by one, such as the breakfast of the soldiers.
When the gong sounded at the gate of the camp, Wang Sizong happened to ask the cooks about breakfast near the pot rack, but as he was asking, a huge noise sounded near the gate of the village in the distance, which startled Wang Sizong.
Wang Sizong remembered that the gong was the news that he had discovered the enemy's situation, and his first reaction was to find the main general, General Jiang, and ask him for a strategy against the enemy.
But when he ran to the main general's camp with his own soldiers, he found that the main general had long disappeared, not only the main general was gone, but even the personal soldiers in the main general's camp and a group of guards were all gone.
This made Wang Sizong chaotic, at this critical moment, the main general disappeared mysteriously, this is internal and external troubles, Wang Sizong was a literati, he had no experience in fighting at all, and he was suddenly anxious like ants on a hot pot, and he didn't know what to do.
In the end, an officer under Wang Sizong reminded that since the sentry had discovered the enemy's situation, he should quickly dispatch a team of scouts to check the enemy's military situation, and be sure to find out the enemy's number, weapons and equipment, etc., now they have more than 60 miles in Lixiangzhou, and it is only more than 100 miles away from Bianjing, there should not be any other ** team, I am afraid that the enemy situation is just some bandits and bandits to attack the camp.
Hearing what the adjutant said, Wang Sizong felt relieved, and he hurriedly ordered a team of men and horses to go first to investigate the military situation according to what the adjutant said, and he led everyone to the gate of the camp.
When Wang Sizong arrived, there were already many people gathered at the gate of the camp, but the expressions of those people were all indescribably weird, as if they had seen something unbelievable.
Wang Sizong didn't care so much, he saw him squeezing through the crowd with his personal guards, and he was stunned in place.
In the open space surrounded by everyone, the commander General Jiang was standing with his hands in his hands, his brows furrowed slightly, and beside him stood two personal guards, as well as a group of guards, and behind those guards, there was a behemoth.
Wang Sizong didn't know how to describe the thing in front of him, because in the thirty years he had lived, he had never seen such a strange thing, the black shell exuded a metallic luster, and on both sides of it, there was also inlaid with something like black glass, and a huge round black circle supported it to stand on the ground, like a wheel.
"What are you doing here? Do you know that you are blocking the general's way?! ”
A guard beside Jiang Yin scolded loudly like everyone, and the people around him didn't know what to do for a while.
Wang Sizong hurriedly stepped forward two steps out of the crowd at this time, only to hear him shout loudly: "General Jiang, you let the lower officials find it easy!"
Seeing that it was Wang Sizong coming, the expression on Jiang Yin's face softened significantly, and he said lightly: "Last night, when General Ben suddenly remembered that when he returned from overseas, he left a wooden ox and a flowing horse in a mountain stream not far from here, and casually took the guards to fetch it overnight, and forgot to inform General Wang, it was really a misunderstanding. ”
Hearing the wooden ox flowing horse, Wang Sizong's eyes suddenly glared at the boss, and he looked at the huge monster behind the guard, before pointing at it and asking, "This is the wooden ox flowing horse?" ”
Jiang Yin nodded and affirmed, "Exactly." ”….
…
Wang Sizong, as the new champion of Yihaike, although he can't be regarded as a rich scholar, but at least he is well-read, and he also dabbles in the books of the Three Kingdoms period. The Biography of Zhuge Liang recorded: "Brightness is longer than ingenuity, profit and loss crossbows, wooden oxen and flowing horses, all out of their own minds." "Romance of the Three Kingdoms? The Later Lord's Biography recorded: "In the ninth year of Jianxing, Liang returned to Qishan, transported it with wooden oxen, and retired from the army after running out of grain; In the spring of the twelfth year, Liang learned that the public came out of the sloping valley to flow horses, according to the martial arts Wuzhang Yuan, and Sima Xuanwang for Weinan. These books are clearly recorded in the Three Kingdoms period Zhuge Kongming created a magical means of transport, when he went out of the Northern Expedition, in order to overcome the difficulties of transporting military food, he created a wooden ox and flowing horse, the method of making is recorded in bamboo slips and there are drawings. Its law is contained in the historical book "Zhuge Liang Collection". After a few years, the original bamboo slips aged, and the drawings were lost.
The handwriting is blurred, some bamboo slips are misplaced and missing, and after several copies, the original text is even more incomplete and incorrect, and the text is mixed with dialects, which makes it difficult for future generations to understand.
Therefore, after the Three Kingdoms, Kong Ming's authentic works were lost, and no one had ever seen a real wooden ox and flowing horse.
But at this moment, Jiang Yin was very sure to tell Wang Sizong that what he was behind was the thing of Kong Ming that had been lost for hundreds of years, how could Wang Sizong not be curious.
Wang Sizong carefully looked at the huge object in front of him again, but he still couldn't connect the behemoth in front of him with the ancient wooden ox and flowing horse.
Wang Sizong's expression all fell in Jiang Yin's eyes, the corners of Jiang Yin's mouth curled up slightly, and he said: "Of course, this is not the ancient wooden ox flowing horse, this is the iron ox flowing horse after fifteen generations of improvement, called the Hummer, and it is not a problem to travel thousands of miles a day." ”
The onlookers who didn't know the truth all grew their mouths, and what the chief general said about traveling thousands of miles a day, wouldn't that be three times faster than three hundred miles in an expedited way, and everyone was speechless, and some officers had already frowned, as if they felt that the commander was talking big.
Everyone's reaction was as Jiang Yin expected, only to see him clapping his hands and saying: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, the cause of today's gong is this Humvee of this general, then now I will give you a show, and let everyone know the power of this Humvee." After Jiang Yin finished speaking, he turned his head again and said to Wang Sizong: "In order to verify the authenticity of this iron bull and flowing horse, now please ask the deputy general General Wang and the imperial general to get on the car together to have a look, does General Wang have any objections?" ”
Wang Sizong was stunned when he heard this, and pointed at himself in disbelief: "Me? ”……
