Chapter 41 One Man Enemies One Country, Fight the World Alone
The five archaeologists did not go to see the murals for the first time, but to look at the architectural layout.
All the way to the ninth floor.
The Demon Suppression Tower has a total of eighteen floors.
The layout of these nine floors varies.
There is a garden.
There is a dormitory.
There are grain and grass reserves.
They were a little puzzled, did a simple tomb really need such a pattern, such an arrangement?
"Strange, this Demon Suppression Tower is really getting stranger the more you look at it."
"It's not laid out for the dead, it's for the living."
"But it may also be because the building is more unique, so it will be arranged this way. Throughout the ages, whether it is the imperial mausoleum of the emperor or the tombs of ordinary dignitaries, there are also divisions. ”
"That's it, the structure of the Demon Suppression Tower can be discussed later, let's take a look at a few murals here first."
A few people briefly discussed, but they couldn't figure it out.
Because of the birth of the Demon Suppression Tower, everything is not normal.
The Demon Suppression Tower itself can't be considered with the thinking it once had.
The group glanced around, and according to the order of the previous mural from left to right, they came to the leftmost mural first.
The first mural.
The army is on the march!
Tens of thousands of troops are mighty, with flags like forests, and countless swords and guns.
There were cavalry.
There are foot soldiers.
There are archers.
The composition of the army can be clearly distinguished by the equipment carried by the soldiers, as well as the clothing on their bodies.
Several people stood in front of the mural and whispered.
"This army was supposed to be the elite of that time."
"The armies of the Yuan Dynasty were mainly divided into four categories, the first was the Mongol army, including the Ti Xue army, which was in charge of the elite of the palace guards at that time; The second type is the Tanma Red Army, which is mainly composed of Hui Hui, and this type of army is one of the main forces on the battlefield, mainly responsible for probing and charging. ”
"The third category is the Han army, that is, the army of the Jin State that surrendered to the Mongols. The fourth category is the new annexed army, which is the Southern Song Dynasty army, which is also the weakest one in combat effectiveness. In order to prevent the Han rebellion, the Yuan Dynasty deployed the Mongolian army and the Tanma Red Army in key positions across the country, which was also the main combat strength of the Yuan Dynasty. ”
"Look at the costumes of these cavalrymen."
"These people in red armor are the Tanma Red Army, and the deficit is named because of the color of their armor. And these cavalry in the C position, the costumes are traditional Mongolian costumes, and the appearance is obviously not Han, it is obvious that they are the army composed of the Mongolian headquarters, and they are also the most elite troops of the Yuan Dynasty. ”
"In addition to these two troops, there is also this infantry that is also extraordinary."
"Look at their gear."
"The whole body is heavily armored, except for the eyes, there are no flaws exposed, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers' swords to hurt them."
"This kind of heavy infantry is not many in all dynasties. Because you want to fight in heavy armor, it has extremely high requirements for the soldier's physique, and it is impossible for non-strong men to control it. Even at the peak of the Yuan Dynasty, there were only a few thousand such heavy armored troops at most. ”
"But the scale of this place, I seriously doubt that it was already all the heavy armor troops of the Yuan Dynasty at that time."
"Except for cavalry and heavy infantry, the clothing and appearance of the other soldiers obviously did not match the Han Chinese."
"This means that this army is composed of the top combat elites of the Yuan Dynasty at that time, and it is the core combat unit of the Yuan Dynasty."
"Yes, it can be seen from this army that they attach great importance to Xuantong, as if they regard Xuantong as an equal opponent."
"No, I'm afraid it's much more than the same opponent."
"According to the habit of the Yuan Dynasty, usually when the two armies engage in battle, they will first use the Han army and the new annex army to consume the enemy's living forces, and then send the most powerful combat power to quickly resolve the battle."
"But the deployment of the army seen from the mural does not have any Han army and the new annexed army."
"There are two possibilities."
"One: They don't trust the Han army and the new annexed army, but this is very unlikely. Because even in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, there was never a lack of shadows of the Han army and the new annexed army on the battlefield. ”
"There is no reason, when dealing with Xuantong's rebel army, the Han army and the new annex army will not be dispatched."
"So, the first possibility should be that they also used a large-scale Han army and a new annex army, but it was not shown on the murals."
"If that's the case, the scale of this war is really not simple."
"In my personal judgment, the scale of this battle must be at least more than 400,000 people."
"The second possibility: it is that there is indeed no Han army and the new annex army on the battlefield, this is a contest between the elite soldiers of both sides."
"Whether it is the Yuan Dynasty or the righteous army of Xuantong, they have used the most elite troops. This battle is only a microcosm of the overall war. ”
"Makes sense."
As they spoke, they walked to another mural.
The situation is more complicated in this mural.
Thousands of Mongol cavalry watched over a large number of civilians and seemed to be marching in a hurry.
Men, women and children, crowded and urging.
The young men were tied up with ropes like animals.
On both sides of the road, the people were exhausted and unable to keep up with the large marching army. But the Mongol cavalry did not give them a chance to breathe at all, and directly killed all the people who fell behind.
Corpses are everywhere!
Such as purgatory on earth.
Seeing this, many archaeological experts sighed.
They didn't dare to look closely, and went straight to the third mural.
This mural is even more interesting.
Xuantong sat on the battlements of the city wall, and behind him were the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty with fearful faces.
They were armed with swords or spears, and there were hundreds.
But hundreds of people surrounded one person, but no one dared to step forward!
It's as if there is no one in front of you, but an evil spirit from hell.
An official dressed in Yuan court clothes delivers a letter to Xuantong.
What the contents of the letter were, no one knows.
But you can see Xuantong's murderous eyes, as if he is a messenger from hell, which makes people shudder.
Through the previous scene, several people roughly guessed that this should be the Yuan Dynasty issuing a war letter to Xuantong.
The crowd walked back again.
The fourth mural is built on with the third.
It was still the same city wall, but the corpses of the Yuan Dynasty officials had been separated, and the ground around them was full of corpses.
Xuan Tong was dressed in black and stood alone among the corpses.
Lonely.
Lonely.
Terrible.
Not far away, a large number of Yuan Dynasty soldiers scattered and fled.
Blades were casually discarded to the ground.
Everyone was dazzled and fascinated, and for the first time they felt the fear of Xuantong in the Yuan Dynasty.
That fear is already like a nightmare!
Even the army, which was supposed to guard the country, did not have the courage to do anything in front of Xuan Tong.
They didn't know what Xuantong had done, but when they saw this, they already felt Xuantong's prestige in that era!
The crowd couldn't wait to get to the fifth mural.
A terrible Yuan army stopped on the riverside.
There are rolling waves in front of him.
Behind him were tens of thousands of desperate people.
Seeing this, everyone has probably guessed it.
It's going to be a showdown!
They couldn't wait to come to the sixth mural, wanting to see how majestic and majestic the rebel army led by Xuan Tong should be.
What kind of elite division can make the army of the Yuan Dynasty so cautious, it can even be said to be crazy.
However, when it came to the sixth mural, everyone was stunned.
This mural is a continuation of the fifth.
More precisely, this mural should be one.
Same river, same place.
The only difference is that the characters portrayed are different.
One person.
A sword.
Skiff.
Xuantong was alone and came across the river!
In front of him was the tens of thousands of the most elite army of the Yuan Dynasty.
And a large number of civilians who became captives!
