Chapter 3 The Iron Arrow

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Su was still indignant and said: "The world's first-class cooking skills are to open a good store and make a fortune, and ******** actually do the business of extortion, how can there be such a businessman in the world." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Bai Cheng listened to Lin Suhuan's words, his heart moved, he stopped abruptly, and muttered to himself: "I'm afraid they are not businessmen in the first place." ”

Lin Su was still in a hurry to leave, and didn't hear what Bai Cheng said clearly, and asked, "What did you say?"

Bai Cheng shook his head and said, "It's nothing, junior brother just wants to ask Brother Lin, do you know the way to the ancient battlefield?"

Lin Su was still dumbfounded, didn't say a word, and turned his head to ask the pedestrians next to him for directions.

After a while, he asked for directions and came back, pulled Bai Cheng back the same way, and said angrily: "They are all confused. ”

Bai Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to follow him on.

This ancient battlefield is located thirty miles west of Sanhe Mansion, located at the junction of Wuling and Yuelu mountains, although it is not far from the bustling market, but it is very remote and inaccessible, only a few large families of the yin house are built here, and half of the living people can not be seen on weekdays.

Lin and Bai walked lightly, and after leaving Sanhe Mansion, they had already arrived at the ancient battlefield site in less than half an hour.

According to Lin Su, at the beginning of the boundary of Sanhe, there was a big family surnamed Zhou, which was the largest wealthy family here, and there were hundreds of men in the clan, all of whom were skilled warriors in martial arts.

More than 100 years ago, the world was in turmoil, and the head of the Zhou family at that time was named Zhou Ziwang, who could be regarded as a generation of heroes.

Zhou Ziwang took advantage of the situation, pulled up an army, wiped out all kinds of forces within a radius of thousands of miles, and relied on the danger of the junction of the water conservancy of Sanhe Mansion and the two mountains of Wuling and Yuelu, and split the soil here to seal the king, establish the Zhou state, and call himself the king of Zhou, that is, one of the seventy-two grass kings in the history books.

Later, after Changxing Chen's southern crossing, Chen Ba first set the capital Jianye and sent a letter to Zhou Ziwang, saying that as long as Zhou Ziwang was willing to be a minister, he would be crowned a king with a different surname. Zhou Ziwang laughed when he saw the letter, tore the letter to shreds, and asked the messenger to bring back a message to fight Chen Baxian.

Chen Baxian was furious and raised 50,000 troops to attack the Zhou State. Zhou Ziwang is at the junction of Wuling and Yuelu mountains, built a Xiongguan, known as Jintang Pass, obtained is the meaning of ********, easy to defend and difficult to attack, tens of thousands of soldiers, waiting for work.

After Chen Ba arrived here first, he attacked for three days in a row, but he could not break through this Xiongguan, and when it was close to dawn on the fourth day, suddenly a torrential rain fell from the sky, and a flash flood broke out, and Chen's army was caught off guard, and was flooded by the water, and the barracks were washed away.

Zhou Jun took the opportunity to rush out of the checkpoint and defeated Chen Jun. Chen Baxian was defeated, and only more than 7,000 of the tens of thousands of horses fled back.

Half a year later, Chen Baxian requisitioned 100,000 troops, broke through Jintang Pass in one fell swoop, killed tens of thousands of defenders in the pass, and the Zhou family was full of chickens and dogs, and demolished Jintang Pass and razed it to the ground.

It is said that the grass and trees around Jintangguan for dozens of miles grow more luxuriant than elsewhere, which is to absorb the essence of the flesh and blood of the defenders of that year.

Now, although a hundred years have passed, visitors who come here often pick up weapons left over from the battle between the two armies.

Lin and Bai walked on the ancient battlefield, and there was a half-human-high barren grass within a radius of dozens of miles, and there were only a few thin paths in the barren grass, and they didn't know whether it was stepped on by the local mountain people or the beast path stepped on by wild beasts.

The two walked along the barren meadow and talked.

Bai Cheng looked down and found that there was a black thing in the grass beside the road, which seemed to be an iron tool, and when he bent down to pick it up, it turned out to be a rusty iron arrowhead.

Bai Cheng saw that the arrow was unusually big, and stretched out his hand to check it, which was seven or eight taels, and couldn't help but be surprised, and quickly wiped it with his sleeve robe, and after wiping off the rust, he saw the word "Zhou" cast at the end of the arrow.

Lin Su also saw that his face was abnormal, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Bai Cheng handed him the arrow and said: "Ordinary warriors can only use one or two arrows at most, elite soldiers in a hundred battles or can use two or two arrows, and fierce generals in the army can only use three or four arrows at most. This arrow weighs half a catty, but I'm afraid that the person who used it back then was a peerless master. ”

Lin Su also reached out to take the arrow, took a closer look, and said, "I'm afraid this is used by Zhou Ziwang himself." ”

Bai Cheng asked in surprise, "How does Brother Lin know?"

Lin Su also said: "Back then, Zhou Ziwang was nicknamed 'One Hand Qingtian', with a sky-shaking bow in his hand and ten cloud-piercing arrows, known as the strongest bow in the world, who else could use such a heavy arrow besides him?"

Bai Cheng nodded and said, "I see, Brother Lin is really knowledgeable." ”

The two of them continued to walk slowly along a path, and walked for more than an hour before they came to the ruins of the Jintangguan city wall.

Although Jintang Pass was demolished by Chen Baxian, the stones used to build the pass could not be destroyed, the piled stones still remained in place, the city walls in some sections were still retained, and even an arrow tower in the distance was still intact. It seems that in that battle, although the Chen army won, it was also sleepy and lacking, and the implementation of military orders was not complete.

The two of them cleared the grass and came to the bottom of the arrow tower.

The arrow tower looks not high from a distance, and when I came to the bottom of the arrow tower, I felt that it was abnormally high. The arrow tower is as high as ten zhang, standing alone in the battlefield, there is a feeling of independent clouds, the stone ladder used to climb the arrow tower has long been damaged, ordinary people want to go up, there is simply no way to go, but Lin and Bai both have high martial arts in the body, light body and qi, hands and feet at the same time, a moment of effort to climb the arrow tower.

Standing on top of the arrow tower, Bai Cheng looked around, his mood suddenly stirred, and the color of his face changed and changed.

When Bai Cheng was on Earth in his previous life, he once traveled to Shanhaiguan. Shanhaiguan is filled with rammed earth, outside lays blue bricks, the city is five zhang high, there are three zhang thick, the circumference is about ten miles, it has been called the first Xiongguan in the world, but compared with Jintang Pass, it is simply not worth mentioning.

Jintang Pass is also filled with rammed earth, but the outer cover is not a green brick, but a piece of more than three feet long, more than 100 catties of blue strip stone, the city wall is as high as ten zhang, there are five zhang thick, the two wings are connected with Wuling, Yuelu two mountains respectively, a moat in front of the pass is also wide and deep, the water depth is ten zhang, the width is five zhang, it is simply not like it can be made artificially.

Lin Su also saw Bai Cheng's strange face and asked, "What's wrong with my brother?"

Bai Cheng said with emotion: "Brother Lin just said that Chen Ba first lost his troops in front of Jintang Pass, I thought he was nothing more than that. Before I came to Jintang Pass, I knew that Jintang Pass was a strong city, and it was simply an insurmountable Xiongguan, and I really don't know how Chen Ba captured it first. ”

Lin Su also rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, you can guess." ”

Bai Cheng thought for a while and said, "Jintang Pass is indestructible, could it be that Zhou Jun has made a spies, and someone has led Chen Jun into the pass?"

Lin Su also shook his head and said: "Tens of thousands of Zhou troops are all fighting to the death, and there is not a single traitor. ”

Bai Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "That little brother can't guess." ”

Lin Su also said: "Speaking of which, my brother may not believe it. Jintang Pass was repeatedly attacked, and Chen Ba was at a loss at first, and then he was mentioned by others, so he went up to Luofu Mountain three times and asked for Zhichuan Zhenren to go down the mountain. This Jintang Pass was broken by Zhichuan Zhenren, and Chen Ba demolished Jintang Pass first just to hide the traces of Zhichuan Zhenren's shot. ”

After hearing this, Bai Cheng stammered, "Lin... Brother Lin is kidding, right? What does it mean to point a finger and break it? How is this possible?"

Lin Su also said with a straight face: "Zhichuan Zhenren is our Taoist patriarch, the merit is cultivated, and the Taoism is boundless, not for you and me to speculate." ”

Bai Cheng still felt incredulous, and said: "If you really have this kind of ability, what is the use of a million troops." ”

Lin Su still smiled and didn't speak.

The two chatted for a while on the arrow tower, and Bai Cheng saw that the sun was in the west, and said, "Brother Lin, it's not early, you and I should go back to the city to rest." ”

Lin Su also laughed, sat down cross-legged and said, "Brother, I don't plan to go back tonight, I want to see what kind of business Yan Gaofei is doing, if I don't say it, I will take a righteous shot!" (To be continued.) )
