Nuqing Xiangxi Chapter 11 Engineer Digging Battalion
As the saying goes, "abundant wealth buries the treacherous heart", he couldn't wait at this time, and saw that the rest of the people were overlooking the deep stream with Chen Blind, and it happened that the dumb Kunlun Moeller was carrying a bamboo basket on the ground, which contained some dry food and water bottles, and bundles of ropes, Luo Lao Crooked reached out and took out the rope, threw it in front of the mature seedling guide, and forced him to use a long rope to fall down to explore the underground palace. He said with a cold expression: "I want to teach your Luo Shuai to see, how is there no return in the ancient tomb, if you are a barbarian, don't blame Luo Shuai for killing and burying it." With that, he dragged the seedling guide to the edge of the cliff and pushed it down.
The clouds and mist are shrouded under a gap in the top of the bottle mountain, and this bottomless natural crack exposes the ancient tomb in the belly of the mountain. However, the legend of the ancient tomb of Bottle Mountain has been passed down for a long time, and no one has ever stolen the treasure from it, and the local bandits and bandits have tried to enter the ancient tomb from the cracks of the earthquake several times, and most of them have given their lives for this, and no one can guess what danger is hidden under this cloud.
Luo Lao crooked took advantage of the fact that the other people were not paying attention, and forced the ripe seedlings to go to the ancient base palace under the cliff to see what happened to them and never returned. At that time, the warlord was the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, and the common people had a very apt saying, which could describe the style of the warlord - "Ma La Bazi is free of charge, Wang Ba box is a passport", eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling do not pay, when it is over, a gun box turns around and leaves, to kill a few grass people in the mountains, it is more common than pinching a few ants to death, and how can you take the life and death of a seedling to heart.
The ripe seedling was put on the head by the muzzle of the gun, and he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he fell to the ground on the spot with his knees weak, hugging Luo Lao's crooked thighs and begging for mercy. This deep stream on the top of the mountain is steep and treacherous, and the timid just look down from a high place, and feel dizzy and trembling, where do they dare to go down to find some ancient cemetery palace.
Luo Lao was crooked and dragged to the edge of the cliff like a dead dog, and was about to kick him off the cliff with force, but he saw that the colored mist in the belly of the mountain suddenly rose, and the deep stream rumbled like a steamer car, shaking the turpentine, as if the sky was collapsing. Chen's blind man's face changed greatly, and he made a gesture and shouted: "It's a pig, withdraw!" ”
The rest of the people saw that the leader sent a message and was about to retreat, and they knew that something was wrong, and even Luo Lao Crooked couldn't take care of the mature seedling guide, so everyone turned their heads and fled down as if they were flying, and they didn't stop until they reached the mountainside. Blind Chen sighed: "Dangerous, there are really some famous places in this mountain, the rainbow gas in the deep stream is not the treasure in the tomb at all, it is all a mirage of poisonous insects, poisonous pythons, centipedes... At this time, it is impossible to say what it is, but looking at this momentum, I am afraid that it is a poison that has been latent for a hundred years. As soon as the sun turned, the poisonous mirage spread out from the depths, and I waited for the right time to stay on the top of the mountain for a few more moments, and at this time I had already been poisoned and died. ”
At that time, the anti-drug means were backward, and this group of murderous thieves were not afraid of water, fire, and knife soldiers, but they were most afraid of poisonous gas, and they didn't know what kind of poison they vomited, and it was difficult to have an antidote to treat them, and once they were poisoned, they couldn't live at all. In the incision of the unloading ridge inverted bucket, the poisonous ancient tomb is called "Wujiao", and the head of Wujiao is a pigsty. In ancient times, the pig pen was mostly on the edge of the manure cellar, and the smell was mixed in the two, which was very unpleasant, and everyone avoided it. The inverted bucket is called poison in the Wujiao, which means to avoid it, this kind of code language is no longer used after the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China.
Luo Lao saw that there were poisonous insects in the belly of the mountain, but he was unwilling, and asked Chen if the blind man could not stop there.
Blind Chen shook his head and pretended to say, "Mountain people have their own clever plans, but this place is not the place to speak, go back to the mountain first and then make plans." So while it was still early, he led everyone back to Yizhuang on the ridge, and the group of thieves used the dead man's hotel as a temporary command post.
In front of Chen's blind man, although Luo Lao Crooked did not slaughter the guide, he could not let him go back to leak the military plane, and temporarily detained him as a miscellaneous servant and did some errands with the army to carry water and sweep the floor.
Miao Zi picked up a life, where did he dare to disobey this group of strongmen, hurriedly cleaned up a spacious room in Yizhuang, and carried a broken table and a few chairs to put in. Chen Blind and Luo Lao Crooked and the others sat down in a big way, used the wine and food, and plotted overnight how to steal the big tomb in the bottle mountain.
After daytime investigation, it can be asserted that there are at least three or five large caves in the belly of Bottle Mountain, which are connected by Yongdao. Yongdaokou is near the ground gate, although it is concealed tightly, but Chen is blind and good at "smelling" the word, you can listen to the wind, rain, thunder and lightning to find the dragon point, it is not difficult to find the approximate location of the tomb door, as long as the explosives are enough, blow up a few layers of land, you will definitely be able to pull out the underground tomb door, but the Yuan tomb is buried deep and hidden, and the front is unloaded and broken, I am afraid it will cost huge manpower and material resources.
In addition, the crack on the top of the mountain is a deep cliff, the time of cracking is two or three hundred years, the two sides are like a knife and axe, the color mist rises below, the poisonous gas is only slightly weakened when the sun is sufficient, although the mountain gap can go straight to the underground palace, but there must be some huge poisonous thing in it to occupy the ancient tomb as a nest, and go directly down from the deep stream, even if it can avoid the mildew mirage, it will be swallowed.
Based on these factors, Chen Blind felt that it was difficult to do anything with the power of the mountain alone, and planned to wait for the mountain movers to come to help. However, Hua Maogui and others don't know much about the art of moving mountains and dividing armor, and they think that they are all mythical legends, which are all nonsense, and they can't be true at all. Now it is the world of the barrel of the gun, the gods are difficult to dodge a smoke, let you have the ability to go through the sky, a shuttle bullet hit the past, and all fell under the gun, is there really a "skill" in the world?
Chen Blind reprimanded, waiting for the frog at the bottom of the well, only knowing that the unloading of the mountain is powerful by virtue of the large number of people, and can also use some explosives and cannons and thousands of rods and equipment as a supplement, he dares to underestimate the world. In addition to those scattered thieves in the world today, there are still people who have the Tao to touch the gold, move the mountain, and unload the three branches, touch the gold and rob the tomb with "God", unload the tomb with "force", move the mountain and rob the tomb with the "technique", its machine is mysterious, unpredictable, can move the mountain and reclaim the sea, the small can fly the pinhole, suddenly thousands of miles, there is no hindrance, how can there be no "technique"?
Hua Maogui knew that Chen Blind never grew up with the prestige of others, and extinguished his own sharp spirit, so he must have attached great importance to the skill of dividing the armor of the mountain movers, and felt that the ancient tomb of Bottle Mountain was not trivial, so he would advocate the power of unloading the mountain and cooperate with the technique of moving the mountain.
After listening to the strategy of the thief, Luo Lao was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks: "I'm a grandmother, and when that group of miscellaneous old Taoists come back from Qianbian, Huanghualai will also be cold." This piece of fat meat to the mouth is really unpalatable...... "He was reluctant to let the mountain movers insert a pole in Bottle Mountain, no matter whether the mountain movers were looking for medicine or pearls, according to the rules of the road, at least part of the Ming weapons in the ancient tomb had to be divided. The thieves in Jieling are between the three Hunan and the four rivers, and they can gather hundreds of tomb robbers at any time, and Luo Dashuai, who is in the second place, has tens of thousands of guns under him. It's good to say that it's not good to say, where will the face of the unloading bandits go in the future?
Luo Lao crookedly played his own wishful thinking, and persuaded Chen Blind to stop waiting for the mountain movers, let's go it alone, anyway, there is a well-equipped sapper digging battalion under his hands, what kind of ancient tomb can't be dug? As long as you plan properly, you don't have to worry about breaking the bottle mountain, even if you are killed or injured 1,800 soldiers, it doesn't matter, anyway, human life is not worth anything in these years. As long as there are silver dollars and tobacco soil, let's put up a recruiting flag, just fuck our own food eaters, and as many people as soldiers eat food, if it's not enough, you can still pull strong men. As long as we steal the ancient tomb of Bottle Mountain and make a huge windfall, we can have as many guns as we want.
Chen Blind is a person who thinks very highly of himself, but when he encountered danger before, he was saved twice by the leader of the mountain, Partridge Whistle, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried about this, feeling that he was always inferior to the mountain movers. At this time, listening to Luo Lao's crooked wind, a little bit of trickery, but also feel reasonable, if the unloading of the mountain thieves alone, although it will lose a lot of manpower, but if this great thing is really achieved, in the future, it is just right for the partridge whistle that the group of Taoist priests to know what kind of means Chen led by the group of thieves in the unloading of the mountains, how many years of hard work in the mountains to learn how many cold and summer, this kind of great opportunity to become famous can not be missed.
Thinking of this, Chen Blind had already made up his mind, looked around at everyone and said: "Brothers, after the group of thieves in Jieling belonged to the Red Eyebrow Righteous Army, they gathered the crowd to form a party, gathered in the green forest, and inherited the legacy of the ancestors, and did the right thing for the heavens. Yu tasted and smelled: The hungry people are easy to eat, and the noble meat sac is really the sky without eyes, and the people are hanging upside down. Now there is the ancient tomb of Bottle Mountain, which contains countless gold beads, which is condensed by the blood and sweat of the people, and the generation of unloading the mountain is just the picture. Take the treasures in the tomb and achieve great things to help the troubled times. ”
The previous generations of Xieling robbers did not have the eloquence of Chen Blind, and he said that the tomb robbery was upright, generous and intense, and Luo Lao and others were dumbfounded, so they admired it and immediately offered suggestions to plan various arrangements for tomb robbery.
Blind Chen first asked Luo Lao to write a transfer order, pressed the monogram imprint, and handed it to the mute Kunlun Moeller to take out of the mountain, so that he could quickly transfer the troops. The troops hidden in ambush near the ancient border wall of Miaojiang were divided into three groups, including a group of nearly 100 people, all of whom were Xiangyin's horse thieves, who belonged to the group of thieves directly led by Chen Blind; The rest are the two troops under Luo Laowei, the largest of which is a few hundred people, the so-called "engineer battalion". In fact, in the ranks of such miscellaneous warlords, all kinds of establishments are extremely irregular, most of them do not set up professional engineering units, and the army formed by Luo Lao Wei does not repair fortifications and mines at all, but is actually an inverted fighting unit specially used to dig graves.
In addition, there is a pistol company, and the members are all cronies of Luo Lao, which is equivalent to the overseer team. In the process of robbing tombs, if someone wants to steal treasures and goods, or desert as a deserter, they will all be punished on the spot, and the soldiers of the pistol company are well-equipped, German-made in one water, two and twenty shots per person, and their combat effectiveness and firepower are very strong.
Twenty rings and pot-bellied magazines, both of which are common names for German Mauser guns, the largest magazine can hold twenty rounds, is named after it. At that time, after the Xinhai Revolution in China, the warlords continued to fight, and the International Du Society adopted an arms embargo against China, restricting the purchase of submachine guns and heavy machine guns by the squadron, but the warlords had their own methods in order to strengthen the firepower of their own troops, and took advantage of the loopholes of the arms embargo. The German-made Mauser is a pistol for self-defense and is not included in the embargo, but this gun has a large caliber, a long range, and no small lethality. The gun has a fast and slow machine, and when it is swept out of the twenty bullets on the fast machine, it can be used as a submachine gun, and the butt is added to increase the shooting accuracy, and it can be used as a carbine, from all aspects, it is a very practical and reliable individual weapon.
Luo Lao made a fortune by robbing tombs, so he equipped such a pistol company with a special team, spent a lot of money to hire German instructors for training, and was directly commanded and commanded by himself. This time I came to the old bear ridge in the Mengdong River in Xiangxi to rob the tomb, just to operate in a vacuum between the territory of several warlords, and if it is not done well, it will lead to armed conflicts, and in addition, it is also necessary to prevent those engineering troops carrying Hanyang from seeing their wealth and suddenly turning against the water, so they specially transferred the pistol company.
Chen Blind meant to start from the tomb gate and the underground palace at the same time, in addition to explosives, he also asked the sapper digging battalion to bring a large amount of lime and Chenzhou sand, ready to use these things to deal with the poisonous insects and pythons hidden in the rock crevices. The mute Kunlun Mole took the order, he was a wild man in the mountains, born with long arms and legs. The whole body is full of muscles and muscles, the soles of his feet are full of thick meat cocoons, he is a hairless chimpanzee, and he is walking on the flat ground over the mountains and mountains, and the distance from Lao Xiongling to the border wall of Miaojiang is just a trivial matter for him. But the engineer battalion carried more baggage, and the dumb men set out that night, and it was probably not until the evening of the next day that the troops could be brought back.
After the group of thieves was deployed, there was nothing to say that night, and at dawn the next day, he ordered the guide to take everyone to the foot of Bottle Mountain. The second exploration of the bottle mountain, is to go around the mountain, only to see the bottle mountain around, in addition to the ancient trees towering to the sky, there are several clear or turbid waterfalls gushing out in the crack of the mountain, the seedling guide said that there is no water vein in the mountain, think that the rain is big, accumulate in the belly of the mountain and rush out of the mud and stones, pour out the top of this green underworld.
Chen Blind saw that there was stagnant water in the bottle mountain. I couldn't help frowning secretly, worried that there was too much wet water in the dungeon, and the rain would cause great damage to the erosion of antiquities. If this is the case, the Ming utensils in the underworld hall would have been destroyed long ago, and I am afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty. However, when listening to the earth and looking for dragons, I heard that there were several caves as large as castles in the mountains, and there were corridors that connected them, and even if one or two places were soaked in rainwater, as long as the portals in the tombs overlapped and closed, a considerable part of the tombs must be intact, and there was no need to worry.
A group of people surveyed around Bottle Mountain, and they could continue to see some stone sorghum stone workshops, most of which were the architectural remains of the Song and Yuan dynasties, which were demolished and destroyed in the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Tomb has no ground buildings and stone monuments, but there are some subtle signs of rammers sealing stones, and they still can't escape the eyes of the thieves. These places are supposed to be burial pits, and there will be no valuable licensed goods in them. While watching, the blind man ordered the red girl under his command to draw the terrain of Bottle Mountain on paper for later use. There is a way to see the potential of a thousand feet, a hundred feet to check the shape, when watching at the bottom of the mountain, because the vision of the person is limited, only the shape can be observed, it is difficult to distinguish the potential, so it is drawn into a drawing, it looks more detailed.
Although the whole strange-shaped rock mountain is cut and sinister, it still occupies the principle of yin and yang, and it looks extraordinary. He didn't dare to stay in the dense forest for too long, and was about to take people back to the temporary command post in Yizhuang, but halfway through, he suddenly saw an empty grave pit that had been dug up in the forest, and the silkworms and gophers in it were so frightened that they were scurrying around when they saw people coming. Seeing this, the blind man Chen remembered something coldly, grabbed the guide's collar, and asked in a low voice: "Yesterday you said that there was a corpse king buried in the bottle mountain, but what is the reason?" ”
The guide was asked about this by the blind man Chen, and the expression on his face suddenly became even more ugly than that of a dead man, as if a great calamity was coming: "The leader of the Good Sect knows that there is no way to go to the belly of the mountain, and no one dares to go. ”
