Chapter 40: Staying guests

The fat man didn't think so, and when he heard me compare this ancient tomb pocket town with Ning Yuandao, he snorted and said contemptuously: "Hmph, Ning Yuan's victory, that is also Yuan Chonghuan with his Guan Ning iron hooves and red-clothed cannons, and it is strange that the Qing soldiers can cut into it with a knife across the horse, and there are no such things in this place, so as soon as the city dies, the mines have made the seniors in camouflage clothes finish, and they are still worried about an egg?" ”

I know that the fat man is bold and has to grow to the belly, but fortunately, he is only a rotten mouth, and he is not reckless. He tried to touch the vermilion lacquer door in front of him www.biquge.info and saw that the force did not move at all, and said in surprise:

"Hey? Locked? ”

As soon as I heard this, I felt that something was wrong, so I also pushed forward and found that it was indeed the case.

In this way, the previous reasoning will not work, could it be that the gang of thieves entered and politely closed the door with their backhands? Could it be? Or did they never set foot in the gates of this urn at all?

I thought about it carefully and felt that the latter was more likely, but if they hadn't entered Urn City, where would they go?

The fat man retreated to Cailiu's side, looked up at the top of the city wall, I understood what he meant, and followed with a flashlight to scan it, the height of the three or four floors is not high, and it is not short to say that it is short, with a flashlight, you can vaguely see the female walls lined up in order at the head of the wall, and even see the half-cut crossbow that has run out of ammunition from the hole in the wall.

That's right, it's also a good strategy to climb the wall directly after the arrows are stopped, even if there is an encirclement and suppression mechanism inside the urn city, at least you don't have to worry about the ambush like the knife pit falling stone set, if the city gate has not been passive, then the remnants of the group of tomb robbers are very likely to have touched this road.

Thinking of this, my eyes suddenly lit up, but then it dimmed, I didn't expect to have to climb the high wall to go down the ancient tomb, which was a bit embarrassing, in short, I didn't bring the corresponding tools.

The fat man was not ambiguous, squatted down and touched his backpack, and after a while, he felt a rope, and when I saw it, it turned out to be a pair of flying tiger claws.

The fat man explained that most of the people on the road have lived in commercial houses recently, and climbing the wall with bare hands to mend the knife has been very classical and has not kept up with the times, but the glorious tradition of mending the knife cannot be buried, what should I do? Only on the tool, the hemp rope bamboo ladder is too troublesome, but the flying tiger claw is one of the best, the waist is not sore, the leg does not hurt, climb the sixth floor in one breath, and make up the knife in minutes, he will carry it with him many times.

The rule of law society can still carry these things around, or this kind of reason, I heard that the line is also vigorous, the center is drunk, but fortunately, the tools are available, although there is only one, and I am really lucky. We immediately began to prepare to throw claws and climb the wall, I and the fat man went up first, and after the female wall, the pheasant moat was checked and checked, and there was no problem with the colorful willow and Xiaoye coming up again.

After a few people finished summing up, I kept an eye on it, and picked out all the antlers in the soil under the flying tiger's claws.

As it turned out later, it was really careful to sail the ship of 10,000 years.

The fat man tossed a few times and succeeded, and when he fell the rope was very strong, he beckoned me to have everything; I asked him to follow me, and I climbed up first.

After climbing nearly five or six meters, I realized that something was wrong - although the wall was made of rammed earth and mud bricks, somehow, the higher I climbed, the more muddy and wet the surface of the wall became, as if someone had just poured white water, and as if water was seeping out from the inside, which looked abnormal.

I snapped my fingers and motioned to the fat man to watch out for the slippery wall, but before I could turn around, I heard a creaking sound of wooden teeth turning in the darkness above the walls.

This sound is not trivial, I was startled, and hurriedly swept the lighting tool in my hand towards the sound of the overhead, this look doesn't matter, my heart is like three autumns, cold to the bones

-- I saw that in the darkness behind the female walls at the top of the wall, some vague objects were rising, about three meters long, and shaped like a round, very much like the main branches of some giant trees, and on the sides and in the center of these rolling logs were ropes the thickness of an adult's arm, presumably a control mechanism.

I glanced at it, and it would have been nice if there were wooden traps on the walls to smash people off the walls, but I saw something else in the round objects.

In ancient siege warfare, the defending side would always try to knock down the enemy troops who climbed the city wall by all means, the most common was to throw stones and rolling wood, pour boiling water or even copper molten iron, and over time, several things were created specifically for this purpose - such as lianting, wolf's tooth slap and guest accommodation.

Lian Ting, also known as the broom to defend the city, is simply a flail weapon, the nunchuck can be regarded as a miniature version of it, is a long handle of several meters with an iron chain connected to a mace covered with iron thorns, standing on the handle on the city wall and waving back and forth can effectively kill and injure the enemy soldiers who climb the city. Due to the strong inertia of this thing, even if the enemy is wearing armor and helmets, Lian Ting can still bring a very considerable killing effect.

The wolf's tooth slap is easier to understand, that is, many nails are punched on a very heavy wooden or iron plate, thrown directly from the city wall into the pile, and then pulled back through the winch, and so on, just like shooting an ant's nest. It is recorded that the maximum length of this thing is more than three meters, the width is more than two meters, and there are more than 4,000 iron nails scattered all over it.

It's more interesting and lethal to stay in a guest house, which is a huge mace that can be rolled, and it is called the Yaksha. This thing is generally made of wet elm wood about 30 meters long and about 30 centimeters in diameter as a roller, which is densely nailed with nails, which are also called "reverse nails"; The two ends of the roller are also equipped with wooden wheels, which can make it roll down the slope of the city wall, and this guest accommodation is also the same as the wolf's tooth racket, which is connected to the winch, and when it rolls down to the enemy's gathering place, the people on the city wall twist the winch again, and at the same time can crush a part of the enemy to death, and there is no need to worry about being jumped on the wooden board by the enemy like the wolf's tooth racket to hitchhike, which can be described as an offensive and defensive one, and it is very easy to use.

And the thing in front of me that pops up just across a female wall is the deadly guest house-Yaksha.

At a glance, there was a buzzing sound in my head, although these things defending the city are ever-changing, they all have one thing in common - anyone who encounters it is not a joke, and if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin!

Seeing that the guest houses covered with iron nails were slowly crossing the wall, and in a few seconds, they would roll down the city wall with the sound of cracking wind and crush me and the fat man into meatloaf, my brain was hot, and I yelled at the fat man who was still snorting and climbing behind me, "There is an ambush, hide!" Then, instinctively, his feet kicked the slope of the city wall, let go of the flying tiger's claws, and jumped out of the air.

It was only when I was in the middle of the air that I remembered something, and I didn't feel a chill in my heart—it's over, damn it, I made a mistake in my busyness, and I forgot that there were antlers half-hidden in the dirt everywhere in the open space below, except for the arrows and rolling stones!
