Chapter VIII Nameplates
It turned out that there were three people lying on the ground not far ahead. Ma Wazi couldn't help but cry and cried. I thought that a group of people would take soil and burn incense, and they would be like brothers and sisters, but I didn't expect that three of the five people had died today.
"Fuck the horse, what are you crying about? A few dead people scared you into tears, look at your bear-like look! Feng Laonong scolded angrily.
"The five of us said that we wanted to share the wealth, but I didn't expect the three of them to become yin and yang strangers~~" Ma Wazi said while crying.
"Fuck you, take a closer look. What clothes are these three dead men wearing? Feng Lao Nong shouted angrily.
Ma Wazi held back her crying and took a closer look. Only then did it turn out that there were three people in camouflage uniforms lying on the ground. And camouflage uniforms, none of the five of them. And when he went to the tomb, he didn't bring camouflage with him.
The two stepped forward and inquired. The three corpses were found, dressed in camouflage uniforms, tattered and rotten. The bones were covered with arrows made of iron, some of which had penetrated deep into the bones. There is also a military backpack behind each person. The corpse had completely decomposed, leaving only the bones in the clothes.
After all, the old peasants and babies were soldiers and had received proletarian education. I never believed in ghosts and gods. Of course, they will not be afraid of these corpses.
So the two of them stepped forward and checked it. Each corpse has a nameplate number on it. They are: 8161555-100, 8161555-077, 8161555-063. On the armed belt on his waist, there is even a Belgian-made Browning M1910 pistol.
Open three backpacks, except for some expired compressed biscuits, medicines. And three or four hundred rounds of ammunition. So the two put away their guns and ammunition and gave a standard military salute to the corpse. Continue to look for straight them.
Both of them were born as soldiers, and they naturally used all kinds of guns, so they knew how to copy. And after demobilization, there are no guns. Soldiers have feelings for guns. When I saw a pistol today, I naturally wanted to keep it for myself to play.
Packing up their gear, the two of them prepared to move on. But the road ahead must be murderous, and these three corpses obviously triggered the mechanism in the cemetery and died. The bodies were apparently shot by the aircraft. Legend has it that it appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and was a relatively dexterous mechanical device. The firing principle of the bow is the same, but it can shoot farther and more lethal than the bow and arrow, and overcomes the weakness of being limited in physical strength when drawing the bow and cannot last long. In addition, the lethality of the bow is so powerful that those who get close to it will shoot at it.
In ancient times, there were many anti-tomb mechanisms.
First, in order to keep the secret about the mausoleum, all the craftsmen who participated in the construction of the tomb were forcibly closed and all of them were brutally buried alive in the mausoleum without waiting for them to come out, so as to prevent future generations from stealing and excavating. Like the death of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, he also took a secret burial, and the place where he was buried was heavily guarded, and people did not know. In 1259 AD, Yuan Xianzong died in Hezhou (Hechuan County), and the kings and ministers carried his body on donkeys and transported it to the tomb of Genghis Khan. In order to prevent leaks, the guards on the way "killed people on sight", and it is said that as many as 20,000 people were killed along the way, turning the escort of corpses into a bloody massacre.
Second: the false grave of doubt, according to the records of some wild historians, Cao Yi was afraid of being robbed and excavated after his death, so he set up 72 tombs on both sides of the Zhanghe River, and when he was buried, there were 72 teams of concubines from the palace at the same time, so that people could not decompose which tomb buried its true body, which tomb was Cao Man's "clothes and crown mound", and later, this legend was rendered by the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it was spread far and wide.
Third: the chain flap, that is, in the mausoleum tomb to dig a pit about 3 meters deep, the length and width depend on the specific situation of the tomb, and the pit is distributed about 10 centimeters under the knife cone sharp weapon. The upper layer of the pit is covered with several wooden planks, with a shaft in the middle of the plank, and a small object of the same weight is decorated with a small object of the same weight, in the shape of a balance scale, and there is a cover on the board. If a grave robber steps on a plank, one end of the board sinks, and the man falls on the cone of the sword in the pit. The sharp blade of the knife will penetrate the chest and internal organs of the tomb robber, and the chances of crawling out alive are almost zero.
Fourth: poisonous gas, that is, the use of mercury (mercury), mercury poured in the ditch dug in the tomb, because the tomb is sealed, and the mercury is easy to evaporate, thus forming a huge poisonous mercury gas, filling the tomb, so that the tomb robbers come in and are poisoned to death.
Fifth: arrows. From the major ancient tombs excavated in history, but as far as the bow unearthed from the Qin Warrior Pit is concerned, its bow trunk and arm are longer, and the material may be the "Zhe" (mountain mulberry) of Nanshan, which is a strong horse with good performance. According to scholars' estimates, the range of this bow should be greater than 800 meters, and the tension should be more than 700 catties. With such strength, it may be difficult to pull apart by human arm strength alone, and it can only be effective by using "kicking", that is, firing with a foot pedaling machine. If you connect the arrows one by one, and make them shoot in clusters or bursts through the machine, you can achieve the purpose of no one being impatient and self-vigilance. This kind of "machine arrow" is actually a "dark arrow". Because the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has a large number of rare treasures, in order to prevent theft, this kind of triggering weapon is placed in the tomb door, passageway, etc., once a tomb robber enters the tomb, he will encounter a tripwire connected to the bow trigger, and then be shot fiercely. This practice was inherited by the later Han and Tang tombs, and developed to install a wheel in the coffin to shoot tomb robbers. The so-called engine is to install several tools like modern pulleys on the inner wall of the coffin, and the pulley is placed on one side of the bow and poison arrows, and the rope connects the bow and the coffin cover through the pulley. Once the tomb robbers enter the underground palace to uncover the coffin, the rope will trigger a salvo of arrows through the wheel to kill the person who has been involved in the coffin.
But historically, whether it is a tomb robber or a mausoleum, there are various ways to crack it.
Those who repair the tomb will secretly dig out the passage, in case the tomb is repaired, and the ruler will be buried alive in the tomb. As long as the wooden ladder is put into the tomb road, and the tomb robber enters along the ladder, it is like walking on the ground, and all the flaps and traps and sharp blades are in vain and useless. As for poison gas, tomb robbers prepare a few chaffinch, which are very sensitive to air. When robbing a tomb, let a few chaffins into the tomb, if there is poisonous gas or the air quality is not good, the finches will die quickly. Grave robbers will wear iron armor or bring a vajra umbrella. These armor and armor made of pure iron prevent arrows from penetrating the body, thus achieving the goal of cracking the arrows.
When the two saw the dead body in front of them, they couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat when they thought that there might be a lot of machinery in front of them. After discussion, the two decided to use the technique they had learned in the army: crawling. Try to avoid any hidden weapons that may be present.
Fortunately, when the two of them climbed about 20 meters away, they suddenly didn't know who triggered the mechanism. For a while, arrows shot out of the dark holes in the walls on both sides, all of which hit the opposite wall, and then reflected back to the ground.
After continuing to move forward for a few tens of meters, the two found a small door that had been blown open. I saw that the stone door was carved with a unicorn pattern. According to Junzi's previous account, Ma Wazi knew that this was a symbol that only a military attache could have in ancient times.
Then the two of them entered the small door. This time, I was really stunned.
