Chapter 19: The Battle of Zhongli
When I said my thoughts, the rest of the crowd was uncharacteristically shameless, especially Uncle Dao, who looked at me and pondered for a moment and said, "It's really weird. ”
The fat bear scratched his head and said: "This Uncle Dao, it seems that you are also a veteran in the gold touching industry, do you see if you have encountered this situation in the past?" ”
Uncle Dao lowered his head and thought for a while: "I have encountered it, but it is not quite the same as the current one." ”
Then he turned his head to Brother Qi again: "Xiao Qi, do you remember?" About seven or eight years ago, we found a special coffin in a Tang tomb in Shanxi, which was not made of ordinary wood, but made of bronze, which was extremely huge. ”
"Yes, it's four or five meters long, and it's more than one person tall." Seventh Brother nodded.
Uncle Dao then recalled: "At that time, I estimated that there was a mechanism inside, so I didn't open it directly, but used two long rods against the coffin lid, and then stood far away and slowly moved it down, and then used a long bamboo pole to smash inward, although there was no dark crossbow or anything like that, but the bamboo pole was embedded by something, we slowly got closer to check, and found that there were two corpses inside as now, and the one on top of the tragic death should be a tomb robber, and the main owner below is a little strange, The whole body seems to be embedded with the coffin, and there are some fixed wooden devices on the body, especially on the limbs, and then we pondered for a while, it turns out that these are specially used to prevent tomb robbers, once a thief's hand reaches out to the tomb owner and wants to steal ill-gotten gains, the tomb owner is connected to the coffin The automatic device will be activated, so that the dead tomb owner suddenly rises like a zombie, and then the device of the limbs is activated, grabbing the tomb robber and dragging him into the coffin, and finally the mechanism on the coffin lid makes the coffin close automatically, The grave robbers were buried. ”
When the seventh brother recalled this experience, he was still a little afraid: "At the beginning, I didn't want to be the wise master of the Dao, but I was afraid that we would all have to fall into the Tao of that organ." ”
"But the problem is that the dark iron coffin I met back then had all kinds of sophisticated mechanisms in it, which caused the illusion that the corpse was dragging the tomb robbers, and now these wooden coffins are cheap to build, not to mention any sophisticated devices, so there is a difference between the two." Uncle Dao continued.
For a while, everyone couldn't discuss anything, so they decided to move forward first, after all, the purpose of our trip was not archaeology. Since this is only a burial chamber, the main burial chamber must still be in front, so we will go into one of the ear chambers on the right to see what we find.
The ear chamber on the right is not large, at most ten square meters square, and there are seven of us here, so it is still quite crowded to move around in it.
I took a cursory look, and I felt that there was nothing special on the floor of this ear chamber except for some scattered and incomplete ceramic vessels, in fact, it is no wonder that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, most of them implemented a thin burial system, so there was no treasure in the general tomb.
I swept the flashlight to the wall again, and several murals on the wall caught my attention, which seemed to be painted about some things about the war, and there were words engraved under each mural, but most of them were badly worn, and it was difficult to distinguish, I probably took a look, and it was still about the deeds of the king of Nanliang Ning, and now finally named him, Xiao Qing.
It says that in 507 AD, the Northern Wei general Tuoba Lin led an army of 500,000 to the south and attacked Zhongli City in Southern Liang along the Huai River to the east. Zhongli was in a hurry, and Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan sent his righteous son Xiao Qing, King of Ning, to lead 200,000 soldiers to relieve the siege. The number of soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty was twice that of the Southern Liang, and the cavalry was the mainstay, if the soldiers were short-handed, the Southern Liang armor would definitely be defeated, so Xiao Qing decided to outwit him.
Through the reconnaissance of the scout battalion, Xiao Qing found that Tuoba Lin made a fatal mistake during the march: he violated the ancient precept of "the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first", and he was eager for quick success, leaving the baggage team at the end, and he led his troops and horses to march day and night to pounce on Zhongli.
Xiao Qing decided to make full use of the enemy's mistakes, he made a plan overnight, leaving 150,000 infantry and 50,000 defenders in the city to take the city as a ridge and stick to Zhongli, while he secretly led 50,000 cavalry all the way north, and the surprise attack was carried out, cutting off the baggage troops behind the Tuoba Forest Palace, and burning the grain and grass of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Hearing the fire in the rear, the 500,000 Northern Wei army was panicked, and the camp was in an uproar.
After succeeding, Xiao Qing did not immediately turn back to help, but continued to go north unexpectedly, besieged Wei to save Zhao, and attacked the unsuspecting Northern Wei town of Jiuling.
Xiao Qing is very good at the art of war, in front of Jiuling City, he made all the grass and trees a strategy, deliberately confusing the enemy army defending the city, making them mistakenly think that the Southern Liang sent the main army to attack the city, and then secretly sent people to the cities of the Northern Wei Dynasty to spread the rumor that Jiuling was lost.
Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty was shocked when he heard the news, and he knew that if the Jiuling Tombs were lost, it would be tantamount to the opening of the south gate of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Southern Liang army would be able to drive straight into Luoyang at that time. At the moment, he sent an urgent document to the Tuoba Forest Department closest to Jiuling, ordering him to suspend the attack on Zhongli City and lead the people back to Jiuling City.
At this time, Tuoba Lin's 500,000 troops had already left the city, because most of the grain and grass were destroyed, and the army was discouraged, so Tuoba Lin ordered a quick battle. However, a piece of paper from Emperor Xuanwu completely disrupted his plan, and in desperation, Tuoba Lin had to personally lead 200,000 troops back to Jiuling, and ordered the remaining 300,000 troops to stand still.
Xiao Qing, who succeeded in the plan, led 50,000 iron cavalry to rush back to Zhongli overnight, forming a front and rear attack with the 200,000 soldiers in the city, and annihilated the 300,000 disheartened Northern Wei army in one fell swoop.
Tuoba Lin, who learned the truth, was annoyed and angry, and immediately turned his horse's head, attacked Zhongli back, and was about to fight Xiao Qing to the death. Xiao Qing calmly defended the city, refused to fight, and the Tuoba Forest Department was tired of saddle horses, and the food and grass were not enough, so he could not last too long, so he had to order the withdrawal of the army.
Who knew that as soon as the Northern Wei army retreated, Xiao Qing led the army of the city to pounce over. After a fierce battle, the Northern Wei Dynasty was defeated and collapsed, and even the commander Tuoba Lin was captured. Xiao Qing returned to the dynasty in triumph, and his reputation has been greatly enhanced since then.
"I don't know what King Nanliang Ning is, but I do know a Jing King Xiao Jingyan, played by Wang Kai, super handsome." Wei Yin on the side grinned.
Her smile instantly pulled me back to reality from the long river of history thousands of years ago, and I glanced at her helplessly and said, "Do you still want to say that Hu Ge's Mei Changsu is also great?" The two of them are still proper CPs? ”
Wei Yin had an expression of "how do you know", nodded excitedly, I rolled my eyes and said: "It's really a rotten girl in the world, Miss, you have watched too much of "Langya Bang"!" ”
Wei Yin glared at me without speaking, and ran directly to her father.
I didn't have the heart to pay attention to her anymore, so I turned my head and asked Uncle Dao, who was standing behind me, if I knew the person Xiao Qing, King Ning, Uncle Dao shook his head and told me that he was familiar with the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but this King Ning Xiao Qing was a person who didn't even have a relevant record of wild history.
I can't help but wonder, why did such a prince with outstanding military achievements disappear from the history books, leaving no trace?
Just when I was talking to Uncle Dao, Zheng Tian, who was standing at the door of the ear room, suddenly screamed, I asked him what was wrong, he staggered to the side of us, pointed out the door in a panic, and said inarticulately: "See...... Hell yes! ”
I immediately looked out of the door and carefully scanned it with a flashlight, but I didn't find anything unusual, and then the fat bear, who was squatting on the side and weighing the value of the porcelain on the ground, also stood up and said, "What are you yelling about, I'm afraid that the ghost doesn't know you're here?" What's going on? ”
Zheng Tian, who had calmed down, shook his head and said soberly: "Really, I didn't lie to you, I really saw it just now!" ”
As he spoke, he raised the DV in his hand, put it in front of us and pressed the playback mode and said: "Just now I was taking the DV to shoot around the room, and when the DV moved to the door of the ear room, I suddenly saw a black shadow flashing in the lens, the speed was too fast, like a ghost!" Believe it or not, it's about one minute and twelve seconds. ”
We carefully looked at the content recorded by Zheng Tian on the screen, because the light was too dark, the picture in the DV was not very clear, but when it was played for about one minute and twelve seconds, there was indeed a humanoid black shadow flashing from the screen, and the process was almost instantaneous.
We were all stunned there, and then asked Zheng Tian to play it back in slow motion, this look made our scalp tingle, the black shadow gradually turned its head when it flashed through the door of the ear room, looking at the ear room where we were, and the one facing the camera turned out to be a skull without skin and flesh!
The atmosphere was immediately tense to the extreme, what was it that had just passed? Could it be the undead skeletons in this tomb?
Wei Yin said in a trembling voice: "It can't be the corpses of those Japanese soldiers in the coffin just now, right?" ”
The fat bear scolded and said: "Damn, no wonder it's called a devil, if you are a ghost, you will come to harm us!" ”
Uncle Dao and Brother Qi had already walked out of the ear chamber and returned to the burial room at this time, they carefully inspected the coffin that had just been opened one by one, and finally shook their heads at us and said, "The bones inside are all there, and there are quite a few of them." ”
