The bluestone city wall overlooks the mountains from a high position, tightly blocking the main entrance to the mountain. This is clearly designed to defend the bottom of the mountain.
But this location is unavoidable...
I couldn't help but have an idea in my mind: Dan Island is not actually nine layers, but should be divided into upper and lower layers. The lower layer is the territory occupied by the mutated monsters on Dan Island, and the upper layer is the territory of Dan Shi.
Danshi on the upper level divides Dan Island into two parts with a city wall. This wall is a line of defense used to resist monster attacks and protect Danshi's peace.
If I rush forward like this, isn't it equivalent to exposing myself to the opponent's crossbow
I hid in the grass and observed for a long time, but no one appeared at the top of the city, so I couldn't help but frown.
According to common sense, there should be soldiers patrolling at night at this time, but not only was there no one on the wall, not even the light of the lighting could be seen. Why do the people in the city monitor the entire island? Besides, just now the three floors of Dan Island were blazing with flames. Could it be that the Danshi on the city were not seen at all
Or is it that there are no more Danshis on this island
I tried to touch the bottom of the city and looked along the wall between the city heads, but what I saw were large and small gaps in the wall. I casually looked at the gap in the wall. The hole seemed to be dug out with an iron stick, and it was as big as the sole of a foot.
If someone wants to attack the city, they don't even need to use a ladder. Just relying on the holes in the wall is enough to climb to the top of the city - this place has been attacked before... No, the attackers are not people. It is impossible for manpower to dig out honeycombs on the city wall. The same groove, it was clear that something scratched the bluestone on the city with its fingers and claws, and climbed up to the top of the city by force.
Is this a dead city
I turned back and glanced in Si Ruo's direction. There was no movement there, which meant that Si Ruo's killing array had not been broken yet and I still had time to arrange it calmly.
I hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the hole in the wall and quickly climbed up to the top of the city.
Before my feet even touched the ground, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air - it was not that there were no soldiers on the city wall. Hundreds of soldiers were all kneeling on the ground with their backs against the inside of the city wall, with bronze spears neatly arranged. The ground is placed at the hands of the soldiers, ready for them to stand up and meet the enemy.
Hundreds of soldiers remained silent, but their military appearance was neat and their military power was still there. The neat lineup alone was enough to make people feel frightened.
I carefully descended from the top of the city, moved a few steps close to the outer wall, and saw a large purple flag lying on the ground.
together? Is this the military flag of Qi
Yes, these soldiers all use bronze weapons, and they are from at least before the Western Han Dynasty.
Bronze Ge was the main battle weapon of the army from the Yin and Shang Dynasties to the Warring States Period, especially for chariot battles. The Chang Ge was even more indispensable. It was still used in the Qin Dynasty and was not eliminated until the Western Han Dynasty.
The weapons of these soldiers were mainly Changge, indicating that they should come from the former Qin Dynasty.
During the Warring States Period, the Yin-Yang theory prevailed, and the major vassal states were very particular about the colors of their flags and the main colors of their clothing. It is said that the color of the battle flag is the innate virtue of the country. For example, in the Qin State, which advocates water virtue, everything from the battle flag to the military uniforms is black.
In the Qi State, Jiang Qi still regarded the emperor's virtue as his virtue, and his flags and clothes were all red. In the Tian Qi era, they were changed to purple.
Why did the sergeant of Qi State appear here? Qi State also has Danshi breaking into the island
wrong!
Suddenly an idea flashed in my mind.
Xu Fu is a native of Qi.
Xu Fu, also known as Junfang, was a famous alchemist and Taoist celebrity in the Qin Dynasty. He once served as the imperial physician of Qin Shihuang. He was born in Qi State during the Warring States Period.
One of the reasons why Xu Fu was ordered to go to sea to find the elixir of immortality was to preserve the blood of Qi. According to legend, most of the 500 boys and girls Xu Fu took away were descendants of Qi. It was a lie that he went to sea to find medicine, but he wanted to preserve the blood of Qi.
Xu Fu has been to this island
At least that's what Xu You said.
Xu Fu's final destination is generally believed to be Japan. However, "Historical Records" records: Qin Shihuang was so pleased that he sent 3,000 men and women to work in various fields. Xu Fu captured the plains and vast swamps, but the king did not come.
Xu Fu here is Xu Fu, but why Sima Qian changed Xu Fu's name is unknown.
What Sima Qian meant was that Xu Fu found a "plain and wide ze", that is, a place with abundant water and grass, and established himself as king and never came back. But where exactly the so-called "Pingyuan Guangze" is is unknown.
The more important point is that since Xu Fu established himself as king overseas, how did Sima Qian know that Xu Fu had found the land of "Plain and Guangze"? Could it be that Xu Fu's men once returned to China and reported Xu Fu's whereabouts to Qin Shihuang
Will Xu Fu allow his men to return? Or is it that only a few people were able to cross the oceans in the Qin Dynasty when navigation technology was extremely backward
None of this is realistic.
It is precisely because of the unclear records in "Historical Records" that Xu Fu's whereabouts have become an unsolved mystery for all eternity.
Is it possible that what is recorded in "Historical Records" is also a "secret code"
After I thought about it several times, a strange idea came to my mind - Xu Fu was plotting against Qin Shihuang.
Although Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, the nobles of the six countries still lurked huge power among the people.
If Xu Fu's immigration theory is true, then Xu Fu is one of the nobles of the Six Nations hiding among the people. Otherwise, how could Xu Fu collect so many boys and girls belonging to Qi
Qin Shihuang was one of the most powerful emperors in China. If he knew that Xu Fu had proclaimed himself king overseas, would he have sent troops to attack him? The answer is yes. The Qin army went to sea and the country was empty. Wasn't this an opportunity for the nobles of the six countries to rebel
Thinking further, if Xu Fu used Dan Island as bait, would it make Qin Shihuang believe that this is Penglai? If Xu Fu could devise a plan to let the First Emperor lead the expedition in person, Qin would surely perish.
This city wall is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, there are endless killings under Dan Island. Once the Qin army falls into Dan Island, wouldn't it be true to the saying: One Dan can kill a million troops
I couldn't help but look along the city wall into the city. There were three large ships parked under the dark city wall. One of the large ships was facing the city gate. Crossbows were lined up on both sides of the ship. Countless soldiers were kneeling on both sides of the ship, in a posture of being ready.
If Xu Fu is really on this ship, he must be in the center of the building.
I looked between the captain's seats in the building, and I couldn't help but feel a trance in front of my eyes. My gaze seemed to have traveled thousands of miles in an instant, traveling through time and space, and came face to face with the ancient corpse sitting in the center of the ship.
I was at the top of the city and he was in the cabin, but our eyes met in the sky without any hindrance.
At that moment, I actually saw a smile on the corner of the other person's mouth.
"Dad!" I shouted all of a sudden.
The ancient corpse wearing Taoist robes in the building boat actually looked exactly like my father.
No, that's my dad!
Maybe, I will misidentify a face, but I will never misidentify those eyes.
I have looked at my dad countless times, and his eyes are all too familiar to me.
I put my hand on the city wall and wanted to jump off the building between the boats, but suddenly there was a loud noise behind me. When I turned around, half of the mountain suddenly cracked open, with cracks like tortoise shells all over the hillside. Black gas like wolf smoke rose into the sky one after another. The mountain fire that had been extinguished instantly reignited, and sparks shot from the cracks in the ground. The flames set off from the side suddenly turned into a prairie fire and rolled towards the top of the mountain.
Earth fire
Could it be a volcano erupting
I was suddenly frightened and broke into a cold sweat. When I looked down again, I saw that Si Ruo had been trapped on a rock like an isolated island. The cracked ground cracks crisscrossed around Si Ruo, and fire was flying everywhere. Si Ruo had become in danger.
"Si Ruo, hold on!" I held the city wall with my left hand and jumped onto the boat. After I stepped on the ship's board with both feet at the same time, I ran to the cabin as hard as I could: "Dad, Dad... I'm Wang Huan, help me, help me!"
My father's voice rang out in the cabin: "Get ready for war and follow his arrangements."
The corpse soldiers who were sitting on the boat suddenly rose up and looked at me with bloody eyes. I turned around suddenly and pointed at the city gate with my finger: "Rush out of the city."
The two corpse soldiers quickly jumped out of the side of the ship and walked around behind the ship...
I just heard a sound like the breaking of an iron rope from the stern of the boat. The wooden boat leaning against the hillside collided with the city gate at a rapid acceleration.
As soon as the shadow from the city gate covered my head, I turned over and fell to the ground, holding my head with both hands. The next moment, the loud noise of the building and boat hitting the city gate suddenly sounded above my head, and pieces of sawdust fell from the sky like a heavy rain.
I have long seen that the building boat is much higher than the city gate. If I want to get out of the city quickly, the only way is to crash the building boat.
In just an instant, the wooden building on the ship was flattened by the city gate. The huge wooden ship rushed down the hillside with half of the cabin covered. When I raised my head, Lou Chuan had already rushed to a place less than fifty meters away from Si Ruo.
"Si Ruo, hold on!" I grabbed a rope on the bow, jumped out of the deck, swung desperately towards Si Ruo, grabbed Si Ruo's palm and pulled her up into the air.
Before Si Ruo and I could stabilize our bodies, the building ship rolled down from the rock where Si Ruo was sitting. I watched the rocks falling apart in front of the ship and shouted sharply: "Find a way to stop the ship." !”
I knew that I couldn't move freely in the fire, so I could only force the boat through the fire. However, the wooden boat cannot hold back its forward momentum, and we will still be burned to death on the mountain.
As soon as I finished my roar, there was a sound of anchors dropping from the stern of the boat. The corpse soldiers on the boat tried to use the anchors to drag the hull, but the wooden boat rushing towards the bottom of the mountain only paused for a moment before heading towards the bottom of the mountain again. Swoop down.
Although the blazing flames were split to both sides by the bow of the ship, the scorching heat waves were still steaming everywhere. I roared again: "Pull me on board, hurry up!"
When the corpse soldiers on the ship quickly pulled me towards the bow, the entire wooden ship had rushed into the center of the sea of fire. No matter where I looked, I saw only red light.
