Chapter 1: The Great Wall
The Great Wall, also known as the Great Wall, is a military defense project in ancient China, which is a kind of defensive building with a very long wall, or a defensive building similar in form and wall and the same defensive nature as the wall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The history of the construction of the Great Wall can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, where the famous allusion "The Princes of the Beacon Opera" occurred in the capital city of Haojing (now Xi'an, Shaanxi). During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the countries competed for hegemony and defended each other, and the construction of the Great Wall entered the first climax, but the length of the construction at this time was relatively short. After Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, Qin Shi Huang connected and repaired the Great Wall of the Warring States Period, which was known as the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles. The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty to overhaul the Great Wall, and most of the Great Wall seen by modern people was built at this time.
A seven or eight-year-old boy stood on the Great Wall and looked into the distance, his eyes full of confusion: "The Great Wall! It was originally a fortification against the invasion of northern nomads, why did the Great Wall of this world prevent gluttonous invasions? ”
Da Da Da –
There was a sound of horses' hooves, and the little boy turned his head to look, and saw a little girl about his age running over on a maroon foal: "Zuo Xiaoyou, you are indeed here." ”
When the little girl saw him, she smiled happily, and when she got to the little boy, she pointed to the bow in her hand and said with a smile: "Let's go hunting!" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at this pink and cute little girl, and smiled helplessly: "Lin Mei, you are a girl, you dance with knives and sticks all day long, what should you do if you can't get married in the future?" ”
When Lin Mei heard this, she immediately pouted, and said angrily: "I won't marry!" I will be a general in the future, resist gluttony, and defend the people. ”
"Isn't it pitiful to be alone." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll sacrifice a little, if you really can't marry in the future, I'll marry you." ”
Lin Mei's little face suddenly turned red, and she turned her head: "Who ...... Who's going to marry you. He turned his horse's head and ran away.
"Huh." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and turned his gaze beyond the Great Wall again.
It has been eight years since he was reborn, and thinking about these eight years has really subverted his outlook on life and history.
It is now the Northern Song Dynasty, but it is not the Northern Song Dynasty in history, but a world full of mythology. In this world, there is a monster called gluttony.
According to legend, more than 2,000 years ago, there was an emperor who was greedy and unbridled, making the people miserable, angering the heavens, and a meteorite fell from the sky, hitting Gouwu Mountain, releasing gluttony in the green light, and since then, the land of northern China will suffer from gluttony every 60 years, so as to warn the world of the consequences of greed. Gluttonous beast soldiers, eat when they see people, no matter whether they live or die, just to fill the belly of the beast king. The gluttonous beast king does not prey, it all depends on the beast soldiers to feed it, and when the beast king is full, he will reproduce in large numbers, so endlessly creating disasters for mankind.
There were also armies that went to the north to seek food, but none of them returned.
The last gluttonous attack on the Great Wall was forty-three years ago, and it will come again in 17 years, and in order to resist the next gluttonous attack, men and women over the age of five and under the age of 20 in the Great Song Dynasty are undergoing militarized training. The best performers will enter the Shadowless Forbidden Army and guard the Great Wall. And Zuo Xiaoyou was an orphan after being reborn, and was adopted by a general surnamed Shao.
But don't think this is a good thing, this General Shao experienced the last gluttonous siege, his status in the army is very high, and he shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding the Great Wall next time, as General Shao's adopted son, Zuo Xiaoyou has been working hard since he was three years old, honing various military skills, and he will also shoulder a heavy responsibility until the next gluttonous siege.
Fortunately, although the training on weekdays is very hard, he has a little playmate, which is Lin Mei, who ran away just now. Lin Mei, like him, was an orphan on the battlefield and was adopted by General Shao. The two grew up together since childhood, trained together, ate and lived together, because Zuo Xiaoyou was more mature and better than her, and cared for her very much, so that the little girl admired this childhood sweetheart very much, but he also became the target of Lin Mei's chasing, and he trained harder, even if he had occasional breaks, he would take a bow and arrow to hunt in the wild, which could not only relax, but also hone his archery skills.
Today is the hard rest time, Zuo Xiaoyou ran to the Great Wall to look at the north as before, imagining the origin of gluttony and the disaster 17 years later.
Gluttony is a kind of mysterious monster in ancient Chinese myths and legends, the ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Second Classic of the North" introduces its characteristics: its shape is like a sheep's body and human face, eyes in the armpits, tiger teeth and human hands.
Zuo Xiaoyou relied on the characteristics of gluttony and guessed that he drew the shape of gluttony, but after General Shao saw it, he said that it was not like it. The gluttony he's seen is even more hideous, and it's completely a monster in a monster movie. Then, according to General Shao's narration, Zuo Xiao and Right revised them one by one, and finally drew a gluttonous picture that General Shao thought was very similar.
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the gluttonous appearance, and felt very much like a Hollywood monster, and that hideous appearance like an alien was completely a Hollywood routine.
It's a pity that he was reborn in 2015, and he didn't know that the world he was in was the world of the movie "The Great Wall" released in 2016, otherwise he would definitely understand the cause and effect of the incident.
In addition to gluttony, he was also surprised by the geography of this world, because the mountain of Gogo where the gluttony is located is the name of the mountain in ancient times. According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Gouwu Mountain belongs to the second mountain system of Beishan and is located 350 miles north of Duntou Mountain. Gowu Mountain is rich in jade and copper ore. There is a beast called the roe deer owl in the mountains: it is strange-looking, very greedy, and not only eats people, but also gnaws all parts of the human body when it can't finish eating.
And the roe deer owl is another name for gluttony, and the two are the same thing.
As Zuo Xiaoyou understands the world, the more awe he becomes. It's definitely a world with gods, it's just that the gods of this world don't seem to be very kind to humans. Is it still reasonable for a human monarch to make a mistake and make the people of Li suffer?
Therefore, in addition to fearing this world, he is very disgusted with the gods of this world. As a god, it doesn't matter if you don't bless the people, but you have to send down this kind of monster to eat people. Zuo Xiaoyou just wanted to ask the gods: "Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?" ”
With the disgust for the gods and the hatred for gluttony, Zuo Xiaoyou became more and more mean to himself, getting up before dawn every day to practice, practicing until noon, and then eating and resting for two hours, and spending the afternoon time practicing Chinese and calligraphy, and learning various military art battle formations. A few years ago, a foreigner from the West was caught, and Zuo Xiaoyou and Lin Mei studied English with him for a while.
Zuo Xiaoyou has a foundation in high school in her previous life, and she is very quick to learn, and she has completed the study of spoken and written English in just half a year, which makes Lin Mei very admired and envious, but she studied for three years before ending her study of English!
The Shadowless Forbidden Army has five troops, namely the Bear Army, the Tiger Army, the Crane Army, the Deer Army, and the Eagle Army. Zuo Xiaoyou's adoptive father, General Shao, is the general of the Xiong Army, and he also accepted the canonization not long ago and became the marshal of the Shadowless Forbidden Army, commanding the entire Shadowless Forbidden Army and guarding the Great Wall.
The fighting method of the Shadowless Forbidden Army is to deploy defensive firepower in echelons from far to the present, and to use various weapons with different ranges to attack gluttony separately from far away.
At the farthest point is a trebuchet operated by the Tiger Army, which can fire stone projectiles and pour oil on ignition to become a fire bomb, and there is also a stone bullet with iron spikes to attack the Beastmaster, which can also be ignited.
The middle range is the bow and crossbow operated by the Eagle Army, which is divided into hand drawn bow and mechanical repeater, the former is light and flexible, and the latter has a fast rate of fire, which is a bit of a machine gun in the era of cold weapons.
At close proximity to the foot of the city wall, there is a crane army flying rope attack on the city wall, this floating platform is about 50 meters or so, and each floating platform can be used by 5 crane soldiers to carry out a flying rope attack.
In the middle of the city wall, there are large scissors operated by the tiger army.
The upper part of the city wall is guarded by the bear army death squad, which falls down with the iron ring in the wall during the battle, and stands sideways on the upper part of the city wall, holding a strong shield and a sharp axe to block the gluttonous landing in the city. Create more fighters for the big scissors. At the same time, it makes up for the gaps and loopholes of the big scissors.
At the head of the city, there is a melee team composed of the Bear Army, the Tiger Army, and the Deer Army, respectively, holding various long contradictory cards for melee combat, responsible for eliminating the gluttony who successfully ascended the city.
In addition to this, there is a range of special weapons.
For example, heavy arrows fired by crossbows, loudspeakers and arrows used when the line of sight is poor, and fireballs used for lighting at night.
The most important thing is that there are gunpowder weapons, there are many types, but there are three types used in actual combat, one is the gunpowder arrow fired by the bow and crossbow, the other is the gunpowder pillar equipped with the spear of the crane army, and the third is the thunderbolt thrown by hand.
Cold weapons come in 4 different types of spears for different classes, 5 shields of different colors and sculptures but with the same shape, melee weapons such as axes and swords, daggers and crane-shaped emei thorns for female Crane soldiers.
The above preparations can be described as well-equipped, and the firepower distribution is even more obvious, and it has been skillfully used in all the battles of the Shadowless Forbidden Army.
As the adopted son of the general of the Xiong Army, Zuo Xiaoyou received the training of the Xiong Army death squad since he was a child, holding a strong shield and a sharp axe, and fighting in close combat. But after three years of practice, General Shao found that his adopted son's talent was a bit excessive, the combat methods of the Xiong Army were not only quickly mastered, but also very skilled, in addition, he also had a lot of research on the combat methods of the other four armies, and he could master all kinds of combat methods, and he opened the bow, making the spear, sword, sword, halberd, axe, hook and fork, whip, hammer and claw, and all eighteen kinds of blades proficient.
That's it, after all, no matter how powerful an individual is, it's just a person, but Zuo Xiaoyou's military talent is also very high, after years of study and training, he quickly established various merits in the army, especially once the northern Khitans ran to fight the autumn wind in the autumn, and were ambushed by Zuo Xiaoyou led a cavalry unit outside the city, and burned to death 50,000 Khitan bandits.
Such a great military feat directly allowed Zuo Xiaoyou to enter the upper echelons of the Shadowless Forbidden Army, and replaced General Shao as the general of the Xiongjun, and General Shao stepped down from the position of general of the Xiongjun Army and directly became the palace marshal, responsible for commanding the generals of the five armies.
And Lin Mei was not far behind, and three years later, she successfully became the general of the Crane Army of the Shadowless Forbidden Army with her military exploits, standing in the same position as Zuo Xiaoyou.
Seeing that his adopted son and adopted daughter have achieved such achievements, Shao Dianshuai is very pleased, and he is more confident in the gluttonous siege of the city in a few years.
Now Zuo Xiaoyou is twenty-two years old, and Lin Mei is also twenty-one years old.
Fortunately, Zuo Xiaoyou and Lin Mei were very cute when they were children, and they did not grow up, but they were more eye-catching. Zuo Xiaoyou has a tall figure of 1.85 meters, a majestic physique that has been boiled for many years, and the handsome appearance of Jian Mei Xingmu and Pan An's reincarnation.
Lin Mei is nearly 1.7 meters tall, very tall, and has a sweet appearance with the heroic skills honed in the army, she is a peerless beauty that makes people feel excited at a glance, and almost all the males in the Shadowless Forbidden Army regard it as their dream lover. But everyone knows that Lin Mei has a soft spot for Zuo Xiaoright, and the two were almost inseparable in the past except for military affairs.
Of course, it's not quite accurate to say this, in fact, Lin Mei is more like the little tail of the left and right, and wherever the left and right go, she follows. And both of them are Shao Dianshuai's adopted sons (adopted daughters), although they now have their own mansions, they will gather at Shao Dianshuai's house most of the time, which is completely a family model.
In fact, the generals of the Tiger Army, the generals of the Deer Army and the generals of the Eagle Army all envy and hate Zuo Xiaoyou, and secretly challenged Zuo Xiaoyou, if Zuo Xiaoyou loses, he will leave Lin Mei. In the same way, if they lose, they withdraw from the pursuit of Lin Mei.
Zuo Xiaoyou found it boring, but gladly accepted the challenge. And then...... Just look at the three young and handsome generals who took a leave of absence for half a month, as well as the black panda eyes.
Since then, no one has dared to fight Lin Mei's idea.
But everyone treats the two as a couple, but the two have not determined their relationship, the main reason is that the military affairs are too busy, and there is no time to fall in love, get married or something. Seeing that gluttony is still coming in three years, Zuo Xiaoyou and Lin Mei are very nervous, and they are studying the skills and tactics to deal with gluttony every day, and the most important thing is the study of black powder.
When Zuo Xiaoyou saw the power of black powder, his heart was very shocked, but the black powder the size of a firecracker actually had the destructive power of a grenade, and it was simply open.
And according to Shao Dianshuai, the lethality of black powder to gluttony is still very considerable, and no gluttony can survive the explosion of black powder.
It's a pity that the production of black powder is complicated and the stock is not much, otherwise I am not afraid of more gluttony.
There is a scientific and technological expert and military staff officer surnamed Wang in the Shadowless Forbidden Army, he has a more persistent personality, has studied monsters and combat skills all his life, and completely focuses his energy on his work. It undertook the heavy task of weapon design and developed weapons with greater power and more suitable for combat, providing a strong guarantee for the five armies to fight bravely on the front line of the Great Wall against gluttony.
In the past few years, Zuo Xiaoyou has been studying the batch manufacturing technology of black powder with Wang Junshi, hoping to make enough black powder in three years to eliminate gluttony.
