Chapter 4: The Wolf Depression

1

Tang Feng held this Xixia copper coin in his hand and was silent, Han Jiang was impatient to wait, and urged: "Just a copper coin, can you stare at it for so long?" ”

Tang Feng put away the copper coin and said, "If only this place could be scientifically excavated." ”

"Stop dreaming, we don't have this condition now!" Han Jiang said angrily.

"Yes, but just by looking at the Han Dynasty wooden slab just now, and this Xixia copper coin, we can see many problems, first of all, the text on the wooden slab confirms that this is Jiulibao, and as early as the Han Dynasty, this is a border fortress; The discovery of this Xixia copper coin shows that until the Western Xia, there were still people active here, and it is even possible that this place was still a border fortress in the Western Xia. Tang Feng boldly speculated.

"How is this possible? The beacon built by the Han Dynasty was still in use in the Western Xia? Han Jiang shook his head.

"It's entirely possible."

"Even if that's possible, so what?"

"Illustration one, this is Jiulibao, and we are on the right path; Second, there were party activities here during the Western Xia period, and we can infer that this place was probably a border fortress connecting Hanhai Micheng and Xingqing Mansion in the Western Xia period. Tang Feng said this, looked at Han Jiang, "Okay, my mission in Jiulibao is complete, it's up to you now!" ”

"Hmph, you think I was idle just now, when you surveyed the beacon, I already checked the rut marks around it." Han Jiang jumped off the beacon, walked to the side of the road, and said, "The rut mark that accompanied us extended from Ao Bao to Jiulibao, and then, like me, circled around Jiulibao and drove northwest. ”

"Wolf Depression? They also went to the wolf's depression! Tang Feng immediately thought of the next stop, Wolf Valley.

"I think so, but I would like to point out that further down to the north-west, there is no road at all."

"No way?" Tang Feng and Liang Yuan looked towards the northwest in unison, and the road was basically invisible on the ground, only a rut mark extending to the northwest.

"So what are we waiting for? Go to the northwest, too! Liang Yuan seemed to have regained her courage.

"Yes, we're heading northwest, but I need to warn you here, who have you thought about this new rut mark? Why do you keep going to the wolf depression with no road without hesitation? Han Jiang asked earnestly.

"Of course it's not an ordinary person, it must be someone who is interested in Hanhai Mi City, I think it's probably the general's car!" Tang Feng reasoned.

Han Jiang didn't say anything more, just shrugged his shoulders, then got into the cab, and once again launched the colorful donkey and drove towards the depths of the desert.

2

The colorful donkey bumped all the way, the huge sound of the engine, accompanied by the wind outside the window, made the three of them remain silent, and when it was close to noon, Han Jiang slowly slowed down the speed, "What, do you see the wolf depression?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang loudly.

"I think it should be about the same, according to your analysis, the wolf depression should be a depression, or even a blister, and there are no protruding buildings on the side of the road, so we may not be able to see the wolf depression when we sit in the car." Han Jiang said loudly.

Tang Feng stared intently at the scenery outside the car window, a desert scenery, "Let's hurry, I don't want to spend the night in Wolf Depression tonight." ”

"You mean we're spending the night in Thousand Households tonight?" Han Jiang asked rhetorically.

"We'll have to get to Qianhu Town at the slowest pace, or we'll have to be with wolves."

"Tang Feng, have you ever thought about whether it would be too fast if we could get to Qianhu Town tonight? You know, the expedition team also had trucks back then, although the speed was not as fast as our off-road vehicles, but according to Misha's records, they walked this road for four or five days! Han Jiang found that the terrain here was gradually getting higher.

Han Jiang's reminder calmed Tang Feng's mind, "Yes! At our current rate, maybe ......"

"Maybe what?"

"Maybe there are difficulties we haven't seen!"

As soon as Tang Feng's words fell, he felt that the whole car flew up, and then fell heavily to the ground, and Tang Feng felt that his internal organs were all turned over.

", what's going on?" Han Jiang cursed and had to slow down.

Tang Feng found that they had just crossed a slope, and the car was now starting to drive down, and what shocked Tang Feng even more was that just in front of the car, he saw the real desert, the boundless yellow sand dunes, and the speed of the car was getting slower and slower, Tang Feng muttered: "I now know why the scientific expedition team has been walking for several days." ”

"Because there's all moving sand dunes ahead!" Han Jiang also understood.

"Well, I'm afraid it's difficult for ordinary off-road vehicles to cross this continuous mobile sand dune, let alone the trucks of the scientific expedition team back then."

"So what are we going to do? Do you want to ride a camel? I'm the one who scares about camel riding! Liang Yuan panicked.

"You're dreaming, where are we going to get camels now?" Tang Feng Road.

"Now it would be better if there were tanks, at least tracked vehicles!" Han Jiang shouted.

"Your dream is even further, you don't have tanks, and there are no tractors!" Tang Feng said again, "However, fortunately, my buddy's car is modified, the tires are wider than ordinary off-road vehicles, and it is suitable for walking on sandy ground. ”

Han Jiang smiled, "Don't say it, I drove down the road just now, and I can see that although your buddy's car looks broken, it drives well." ”

"That's it! You can finally see it. Tang Feng was a little proud.

"That's it...... It's just a pity, there's no going back. ”

"I don't like to hear what you say, why do you keep saying that this donkey can't go back? It can't go back, can we go back? Say something auspicious! Tang Feng shouted dissatisfiedly.

"I know I want to say something auspicious, but do you think we can be auspicious this time?" Han Jiang said and stopped the car.

"Why did you stop the car?" Tang Feng asked puzzled.

"Don't you think we've come to the wolf's den?" Han Jiang's eyes looked around nervously.

Tang Feng realized that they seemed to have come to a depression, and Tang Feng and Liang Yuan also became nervous, "How did we drive into the wolf depression?" Tang Feng took out the telescope he was carrying and looked around the depression.

"Let's ...... We're not going to be surrounded by wolves, are we? Liang Yuan's words were full of fear.

Han Jiang didn't understand how he drove it, so he drove the car into this huge depression, and now their car was in the middle of the entire depression.

3

Han Jiang pulled out his dagger and jumped out of the car, surrounded by tall sand dunes, only the southeast side where they had come just now seemed to be a solid rock.

It was so quiet that you could hear your heartbeat, Tang Feng and Liang Yuan also got out of the car, and the three of them carefully observed the surroundings, "I drove in with that rut mark just now." Han Jiang whispered.

"But the rut mark is gone now!" Tang Feng walked to the back of the car, and he found that there was only a clear rut mark left behind the car, which was left by their donkey.

"yes, why did that rut mark disappear all of a sudden?" Han Jianghu was suspicious and walked forward, and after they took thirty steps, another rut mark appeared on the ground, but it was just ...... It's just that there's something strange about this rut mark.

"This rut mark is not from the car just now!" Han Jiang judged decisively.

"This ...... How is this possible? Tang Feng couldn't believe it.

"I'm sure this new rut mark in front of us belongs to another car!" Han Jiang said with great certainty.

"It's terrible, is there still a group of people?" Liang Yuan exclaimed.

Tang Feng also saw the clue at this time, the new rut mark in front of him was indeed different from the rut mark that had been accompanying them before, but where did this new rut mark come from? Tang Feng's gaze followed the rut mark in front of him, and kept looking at the sand dunes to the south, and the rut marks extended all the way to the sand dunes in the south...... Suddenly, when the noon sun pierced Tang Feng's eyes, Tang Feng found that there was a wolf standing on the sand dunes in the south, this is a thin wolf, Tang Feng has seen the wolves in the Anima Qing Snow Mountain, has seen different kinds of wolves, but has never seen the wolves in the desert, they seem to be malnourished because of lack of food, or roasted by the scorching sun in the desert, and look exhausted, but Tang Feng is still in the scorching sun of noon, feeling the cold, Tang Feng found that a few more wolves appeared on the sand dunes in the south, two, three, four, five, six......

Tang Feng's neck could still rotate normally, and when he looked around the sand dunes, he found that wolves had appeared on the east, north, and west sides of the dunes, and they had been surrounded by hungry wolves.

Han Jiang and Liang Yuan also discovered the wolves, Tang Feng protected Liang Yuan, and the three of them began to slowly retreat towards the car, Tang Feng was extremely careful every step back, for fear of alarming the wolves, and the pack of wild wolves rushed towards them together.

"It's really a wolf depression here, there is no food in the desert, and there is such a group of wolves!" Han Jiang muttered quietly.

"Didn't we bring them food?" Tang Feng pretended to be calm.

Five minutes later, the three of them finally retreated to the side of the car, and the wolf did not attack them, but Han Jiang still held the dagger in his hand, and Tang Feng used his body to protect Liang Yuan, and the noon sun became more and more dazzling...... At this critical moment, a strange sound came from the top of the dune, like a whistle, but it was not, after this sound, the wolves that had originally surrounded the sand dunes disappeared in an instant.

Tang Feng looked around, and a wolf was gone, and at this time, Han Jiang suddenly reacted and shouted: "There must be someone up there, get in the car, chase!" ”

The three of them jumped into the car, and Han Jiang drove violently towards the sand dunes to the south, but the car slid on the soft sand dunes, and seeing that the rear wheels were about to sink into the sand dunes, Han Jiang yelled at Tang Feng: "Go down and push!" ”

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan finally pushed the car out of the soft sand dunes, but when they rushed up to the south sand dunes, they didn't see anyone, only the wolves, which had gathered together at this time.

4

The group of skinny wolves were thirty meters away from Tang Feng and them, watching them motionlessly, the sun on the desert was getting hotter and hotter, Tang Feng was a little overwhelmed, he asked Han Jiang, "What should we do?" ”

"Strange! That sound couldn't have been made by a wolf! Han Jiang said affirmatively.

"You suspect someone is controlling these wolves?" Tang Feng suddenly thought of the legend that someone had domesticated wolves, but he still couldn't believe that someone could control such a group of hungry wolves.

"Rush over and take a look!" Han Jiang couldn't believe it either.

Han Jiang accelerated violently and rushed straight towards the wolves thirty meters away, but Tang Feng and Han Jiang were surprised to find that at the same time as they accelerated, the wolves also accelerated and retreated southward, quickly and decisively, and did not disperse, all the wolves maintained the same speed, and even the pace was highly consistent, and when Han Jiang's speed slowed down, the wolves also slowly stopped and stood in front of the car, still maintaining a distance of about thirty meters.

In this way, the wolves always maintained a distance of thirty meters from Tang Feng and them, neither dispersed, nor rushed towards Tang Feng and them, Tang Feng was puzzled, "What do these wolves want to do?" ”

"They are well-trained fighters." Han Jiang suddenly didn't come out of nowhere.

"What do you mean?" Tang Feng didn't understand what Han Jiang meant.

"When the enemy rushed towards them, they remained highly composed, did not scatter and flee, but maintained a formation and retreated, aren't they well-trained warriors?"

"But why don't they attack us?" Tang Feng was puzzled.

Han Jiang was about to say something, suddenly, the body was slightly crooked, and then, everyone felt that the body was tilting to the side, Tang Feng and Liang Yuan looked at Han Jiang in panic, Han Jiang slapped the steering wheel suddenly, "Damn, we were calculated by wolves." ”

Tang Feng saw that the wolves were still watching them from thirty meters away, and their car soon stopped tilting, Tang Feng understood, it must have been a tire burst.

The three were trapped in the car, unable to move forward, and did not dare to go out to change tires. After a stalemate of more than ten minutes, Han Jiang reached the limit of patience in the stuffy car, he pulled out his dagger and jumped out of the car, but as soon as his feet landed, the wolves that had been gathered together quickly dispersed, pulled into an arc, and slowly surrounded Han Jiang and the car.

Tang Feng sat in the car and sweated for Han Jiang, he saw Han Jiang holding a dagger and taking a few steps forward towards the wolves, Tang Feng thought that Han Jiang was ready to fight with the wild wolf with a white blade, who expected, Han Jiang took the dagger and stroked at the wolves twice, and ran back to the car, the two hungry wolves rushed towards the car with Han Jiang at an incredible speed, and when Han Jiang closed the car door, the two hungry wolves lay on the window and let out a terrible howl.

Tang Feng shuddered, he touched his whole body in panic, he didn't even have a weapon to defend himself, he couldn't help but shout, "I didn't expect that when you Han Jiang was also cowardly, I thought you were going to fight with the wild wolf just now!" ”

"I've got a bad brain! A man fights so many hungry wolves, and I'm human too, you know? Boy, since he is a human being, he has the right to be honest and cowardly when he confesses! After Han Jiang finished yelling, the foam fire extinguisher behind the car snorted, "Let's really do it immediately, I don't care about you, you just rely on that fire extinguisher to defend yourself." ”

"Damn, did you know you'd run into a wolf?" Tang Feng shouted at Han Jiang.

"! If I could, I wouldn't be trapped in the car by now. ”

Tang Feng was helpless, he found that Liang Yuan had already held the fire extinguisher in his arms from the back of the car, "You just hold it like this, but will you use this thing?" ”

Liang Yuan shook his head helplessly at Tang Feng, but Liang Yuan then said, "I won't use it, but I will use this to fight wolves." ”

"Hmph, it's just you, still fighting wolves?" Tang Feng looked disdainful.

"How could it not ......"

Liang Yuan wanted to say something, but Han Jiang waved his hand and signaled them to shut up, at this time, they vaguely heard the strange sound again, and the three of them listened quietly, the sound seemed to be very far away, but the hungry wolves who were surrounding the car, after hearing this sound, quickly retreated, and returned to a place thirty meters away from the car, and after the assembly, a strange sound came from the depths of the desert again, and then, a scene that surprised Tang Feng appeared, the wolves seemed to retreat quickly and orderly to the south, and soon, they disappeared on the horizon.

5

When the wolves disappeared on the horizon, the frightened Tang Feng calmed down a little, "What's going on?" How did the wolves withdraw? ”

"Didn't you hear that sound from the depths of the desert again?" Han Jiang still held the dagger tightly.

"I heard it, it seemed to sound twice, like an order, the first time the wolves retreated, and the second time it was an order to retreat." Tang Feng reasoned.

"What makes a sound that can travel so far? And to make the wolves completely obedient to him? Han Jiang asked in a muttered voice.

Tang Feng also fell into deep thought, but Liang Yuan said, "But we didn't see anyone around?" ”

Liang Yuan's words woke up Tang Feng and Han Jiang, Han Jiang opened the car door, jumped out of the car, and looked around, at this moment, the sunlight was not as strong as just now, except for the rolling yellow sand in the desert, where did the figure come from?

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan also jumped out of the car, and the three of them found that the right front wheel was pierced with a hole by a dilapidated barbed iron plate, and then, Tang Feng found that in the sand in front of the right front wheel, several more such barbed iron plates appeared, Tang Feng picked up a barbed iron plate, and carefully observed, although the iron plate was not completely rusted, it can be seen that these barbed iron plates are old, "This is obviously not new." ”

"Oh! Is it still ancient? Liang Yuan asked in surprise.

"This is very similar to the horse nails buried for the opposing cavalry in ancient wars to interfere with the cavalry's attack." Tang Feng judged.

"But how did this thing end up here?" Han Jiang asked.

"How do I know, maybe it's left over from ancient times, maybe it's planted by the people who control the wolf pack, the purpose is to puncture our car tires and trap us in the wolf depression." Tang Feng Road.

"But these two points don't make sense, if it is left over from ancient times, and this is not a military artery, who will bury horse nails here? Besides, if someone deliberately wants to harm us, why use these old things? Now it's a better thing, it's better to bury one* and blow us all up to the sky! Han Jiang was puzzled.

Tang Feng pondered for a while and said, "I think that although these horse nails are not rusted, this is because of the drought and lack of rain in the desert, in fact, these horse nails may be very old." ”

"Far when?" Han Jiang asked.

"I think it's likely to be something from the Western Xia or the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty did not have a war in this area, although there were bandits here during the Republic of China, but looking at the style of this horse nail, it doesn't look like a thing of the Republic of China, so it is most likely to be something from the Western Xia or the Yuan Dynasty, and the largest war that has happened here in history may be the battle of Genghis Khan to destroy the Western Xia."

"The Great Lama seems to have mentioned it." Han Jiang Road.

"Yes, Genghis Khan attacked Western Xia six times, and the Mongols swept through Eurasia, but no country like Western Xia made Genghis Khan six personal expeditions, and finally Genghis Khan died in the last attack on Western Xia, fell from his horse and was wounded, and died in Western Xia. Genghis Khan's route for attacking Western Xia several times was to cross the vast sandy sea and Gobi from the Mongolian Plateau, go around the back of Western Xia, and attack Western Xia. ”

"So you suspect that the party members used these horse spikes here to block Genghis Khan's iron horse?" Han Jiang asked rhetorically.

Tang Feng nodded, "I saw it just now, and if you go further, there are a lot of such horse nails in the sand, and if you can use so many horse nails on a large scale, it must be a large-scale war, and it will never be done by a small group of bandits, and the only large-scale war that happened here in history can only be the Mongol attack on Western Xia." ”

Han Jiang walked forward for a while, and sure enough, the horse nails were faintly visible in the sand in front of him, "Tang Feng, have you noticed it, these horse nails still seem to be regularly distributed." ”

"Yes, I estimate that it was not as dry as it is now, there should be a military stronghold of Western Xia nearby, which is the name of the place near the wolf depression on the ancient map, but we can't find it, and the wolf depression was a water source at that time, it is likely to be a water blister, when the Mongols crossed the sand sea and hit it, the party people buried these mixed horse nails around the water source, and maybe they also poisoned the water." Tang Feng speculated further.

"However, it seems that the efforts of the party members here have not been duly rewarded, and these things have not stopped the attack of Genghis Khan's iron cavalry." Han Jiang said.

"Well, that's right, if these horse nails come in handy, this place won't be like this now, there should be corpses of people and horses, as well as weapons and armor, and besides, the horse nails won't be as regular as they are now." Tang Feng said.

"Then Genghis Khan's army didn't go from here?" Liang Yuan asked curiously.

"I don't know. However, there is another phenomenon, you must know that in the Western Xia, there were still relatively few iron tools, so so many mixed horse nails were also an important war preparation material at that time, it stands to reason that the Mongols never went from here, after the war, the party should have taken back these mixed horse nails for the next time, but they did not take back, what does this mean? Tang Feng asked Han Jiang rhetorically.

"It means that the Western Xia troops stationed here were either all killed, or left here and never returned." Han Jiang replied.

"Well, I think so too, the disappeared Western Xia army never came back!" Tang Feng sighed.

Liang Yuan listened to their analysis, a little impatient, and said with a smile: "You guys are talking about this thing too godly, are you ancient*?" Hehe. Liang Yuan said with a smile.

"You can still laugh, this ancient* has now blown up our donkey." Tang Feng said with a straight face.

"Then you guys repair it quickly, don't we have a spare tire?" Liang Yuan looked nonchalant.

"Damn, my eldest lady, you're going to make a call! Why don't you fix it yourself? Tang Feng shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Nonsense, how can there be a girl to change a tire!" Liang Yuan said confidently.

Tang Feng couldn't help it, shook his head, and was about to get the spare tire, but Han Jiang grabbed him, "What's the use of you changing it now?" We don't know how many traps there are around. You change the tire, get a hole in it again, and we'll stop eating completely. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

"Find a safe way out first."

"Pathfinding?"

"Think about it, how are those wolves okay, and besides, we talked for a long time, and we forgot the rut mark that suddenly appeared under the wolf depression!"

Han Jiang's reminder, Tang Feng remembered, "Yes! We can follow the rut mark and find a safe way. After that, the two asked Liang Yuan to stay and watch the car, while Tang Feng and Han Jiang followed the same path to find the rut mark again.

6

Tang Feng and Han Jiang walked along the road to the wolf, and it didn't take long for them to find the rut mark in the sand, but Han Jiang, with many years of experience, saw that the rut mark that appeared later was walking and stopping in the sand, and seemed to hesitate, when they walked more than ten meters along the rut mark in the direction of the wolf depression, there was a fork in the rut mark on the sand, "Obviously, the car drove south like us, and then turned to the west." Han Jiang judged.

"Not only that, but the sudden appearance of rut marks under the wolf depression indicates that the driver has also found the horse spikes around the wolf depression, and he is also looking for a safe way out." Tang Feng said.

Han Jiang nodded, "It seems that this car has been out of this danger zone." ”

"Not only the car, but also the car that has been appearing before, it is no longer visible now, which means that they have left the wolf depression safely, and we should be able to leave the wolf depression safely if we continue to follow this rut mark." Tang Feng Road. 、

"But have you ever thought that if those wolves were controlled by people, and that people wanted to lead us to a dangerous area, why didn't the two cars in front of them fall for it?"

"I can only say that you are stupid!" Tang Feng said with a smile.

"! Am I stupid? At best, we're too focused on the wolves. Han Jiang said.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang walked along the fork that extended to the west, and soon, they came to the edge of the wolf depression, and the rut mark continued to move forward along the edge of the wolf depression, and went around to the northwest of the wolf depression, and the rut mark walked in the northwest direction, at this time, another rut mark appeared on the ground, "The car appeared again." ”

"The two rut marks on the ground extend to the northwest, and it seems that they can get out of the encirclement of the ancients." Han Jiang crossed his waist and looked around.

"The encirclement of the ancients! So you agree with my reasoning? ”

"Yes, this must be an encirclement set up by the party members for Genghis Khan's army." Han Jiang walked in front, and suddenly, stopped, "Look, what is that?" ”

Han Jiang stood on a small sand dune, he found that the sand under the small sand dune suddenly concave a large piece, this is obviously not the unevenness formed by ordinary sand dunes, Tang Feng also noticed this big pit, he jumped to the edge of the sand dune, and looked at it carefully, "It looks like a grave pit." ”

"Graveyards? I don't see it. Han Jiang also lay on the edge of the big pit.

"Oh? So what do you think this is? ”

"I think it's probably a trap."

"Trapped?" Tang Feng stared at the big pit, and just as he was stunned, Han Jiang jumped into the big pit, and shaved twice with his hands, and several thin and cracked planks appeared in the yellow sand.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the thin plank that used to cover the pit, and it certainly can't withstand the weight of the horse." Han Jiang inferred.

"Then there will be the bones of the Mongols in this pit?" Tang Feng was puzzled and used his hands to dig away the yellow sand in the pit, and soon, rows of already somewhat rotten wooden stakes were exposed.

"This is no ordinary wooden stake, these were sharpened blades back then, and as long as people and horses fall into this pit, they will be pierced by these wooden stakes."

Hearing Han Jiang's words, Tang Feng looked at these wooden stakes that had dried up and decayed, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. "Oh, don't be in a daze, look, come and recognize the words on it."

"There's still text on it?" Tang Feng took a thin wooden board that had been broken in two pieces handed over by Han Jiang, and sure enough, a few strange words were written with an ink pen on the thin wooden board, Tang Feng stared at these strange words and was silent for a long time.

"You're talking! Is it Western Xia? Han Jiang urged.

"It's not Xixiawen." Tang Feng muttered.

"In that case, our previous assumptions are wrong. But I don't think those words look like Chinese characters! ”

"Well, it's not Chinese characters, if I'm not mistaken, these characters are in Baspa." Tang Feng suddenly said something that Han Jiang had never heard of.

"Eight...... Paspa Van? What is Paspa? Han Jiang was confused.

"The Phags-pa script is a script founded by the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, Kublai Khan, and is an official script of the Yuan Dynasty." Tang Feng explained.

"How can there be a Paspa on the plank of this horse pit?" Han Jiang was still puzzled.

"This is precisely the problem, first of all, the Phags-pa script only appeared in the time of Kublai Khan, about the middle of the thirteenth century, and the Mongol battle to destroy the Western Xia was in the time of Genghis Khan, at the beginning of the thirteenth century, a difference of about half a century, so it does not match the date of the presumption that we set up the horse nails and the horse pits; Secondly, we set up these horse nails, and the horse trap was set up by the party members, but there was a Pa Si Pa text on this wooden board, which is also contrary to our previous inference, I ...... I can't figure it out now. Tang Feng felt a little confused.

"Then do you recognize the words on this and see what it means?"

"Fortunately, I have learned some of the eight Si Pa scripts, but the few eight Si Pa scripts on this wooden board are only for the directions," Tang Feng said, reading the meaning of the eight Si Pa texts, "Xi ...... North...... Seventeenth ......"

"Maybe it's just a few words that someone from the Yuan Dynasty came here later and wrote here indiscriminately."

Tang Feng shook his head, "Although these words don't mean much, they just prove that our previous inference is problematic, 'Northwest Seventeenth', I speculate that it is a mark made on the wooden board in advance when the trap was set up." ”

"Seventeenth to the northwest?! That is to say that the Mongols set it up during the time of Kublai Khan. Han Jiang couldn't believe this conclusion.

Tang Feng was silent for a moment, "It may not have been set up during the Kublai Khan period at the earliest, but it should be during the Kublai Khan period at the latest." ”

Han Jiang nodded, "Yes, then these trapping pits, mixing horse nails may have existed very early, such as the Western Xia period, and have been used until the Kublai Khan period of the Yuan Dynasty." ”

"There is such a possibility, but I can't understand that during the period of Kublai Khan, it has been decades since the Mongols destroyed the Western Xia, and the Yuan Dynasty has already dominated the world, what other great enemies are there here, and the Yuan Dynasty army is needed to be like a great enemy?" Tang Feng shook his head, wondering what was going on.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang searched near the trap for a while, they found some trap pits and horse nails one after another, Tang Feng was worried about Liang Yuan, so he said to Han Jiang, "It seems that we can safely get out of this ambush circle set up by the ancients by following these two rut marks, Liang Yuan is still waiting for us, let's go back quickly." ”

Han Jiang nodded, and the two of them returned the same way, "But you said that the ambush circle set up by the ancients didn't seem to come in handy, we found so many horse traps and horse nails, but we didn't find a single corpse!" Han Jiang wondered.

"Yes! Even the collapsed craters seem to have collapsed because of age. Tang Feng was confused.

The two quickly returned to the car, but Liang Yuan was nowhere to be seen, and Tang Feng's heart immediately hung up, "Liang Yuan had an accident!" ”

"Who knows where this eldest lady has gone!" Han Jiang seemed to be calm.

As soon as Han Jiang's voice fell, a heart-rending cry for help came from underground, "Help-" It was Liang Yuan's voice, Tang Feng trembled, standing in the long yellow sand, he quickly determined the source of the voice, "Liang Yuan is nearby." ”

Tang Feng and Han Jiang ran to the south almost at the same time, and after a few steps, they found that Liang Yuan was sitting in a big pit in the south and crying and shouting, and when Han Jiang rescued Liang Yuan, Tang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, he looked under the pit, "This is a trap that has not collapsed and can still be used." ”

"Trapped?" Liang Yuan had stopped crying at this time.

"yes, who let you spin around, trapped you in the pit. Luckily, there's a lot of sand down there, otherwise you'd have been pierced by those stakes and arrows! Tang Feng complained.

"I saw that you hadn't come back yet, so I walked around the neighborhood, who would have thought that there would be a pit here." Liang Yuan looked aggrieved.

"It looks like there are still a lot of traps here that are still intact." Tang Feng looked around and muttered.

"Tang Feng, did you find it, the collapsed horse traps we just found are all in the northwest direction, and those two cars also left this ambush circle of the ancients from the northwest direction."

"You're trying to say that the ambush circle here was attacked by the ancients, and they came from the northwest?"

Han Jiang nodded.

"Originally, I thought the same thing, but I really can't think of who else will be the enemy killed from the northwest except Genghis Khan to destroy the Western Xia?" Tang Feng shook his head, unable to figure out what was going on with all this.

"Okay, let's hurry up and fix the car! We were getting farther and farther away from those two cars. Han Jiang reminded.

"Well, I think more and more that those two cars must be our old friends."

Tang Feng and Han Jiang changed their tires and got back on the road, and when they drove out of this ancient ambush circle along the ruts on the ground, the sun had already gone west.
