Outside the gate of Longcheng, Wei Xingshan looked up for a while, then curled his lips.
"Old Lin, Dr. Yang, Miss Anne." Wei Xingshan pointed to the city gate, announcing the titles of his companions one by one, and then said, "Why do I feel that this city gate is not built with sincerity?"
"It's just two doors, what kind of sincerity do you need?" Lin Shuo asked.
"Look." Wei Xingshan pointed to his feet, "There is no river outside this city, no bridge over the river, and no road behind the bridge. The gates of this city are open, just like a fake."
"This only shows that this is not the main entrance." Yang Tuo said, "This door may be for emergency use, and it is not usually opened."
"Old Wei." Lin Shuo patted Wei Xingshan's shoulder, "Look at you, you are nine feet tall, holding a long spear, and you are only a horse away from being an ancient general. Alright, call the door."
"Hey, the general will follow orders." Wei Xingshan replied with a smile, put the spear in his hand behind his back, and walked carelessly to the gate of the city.
"I said, is there anyone?" Wei Xingshan shouted at the top of his voice, "Open the door!"
Naturally, no one responded.
Anne covered her forehead, glanced at Lin Shuo who was smiling beside her, and said softly, "Mr. Lin, Captain Wei is usually very shrewd. Why did he become like a child after getting along with you for a long time?"
"This is called team positioning." Lin Shuo laughed, "Everyone needs to find their place in the team.
Wei Xingshan was born as a soldier and he pays attention to the collective, so this aspect is particularly prominent.
When he was the commander, he naturally had to be serious and calm, but now among the four of us, he is not the commander, so he needs to adjust his position.
This kind of self-adjustment is of course a good thing. He can have this will, which is also the reason why I will give him a high look.
It's just that he is obviously not used to this position, and he is a little too aggressive in doing things.
It's okay, it'll be fine slowly. "
In between a few sentences, Wei Xingshan in front called a few times and found no one answered, so he simply leaned against the crack of the door and peered in with the light of the headlight on his head.
After looking at the crack of the door for a long time, Wei Xingshan said, "Old Lin, there still seems to be a wall inside!"
"Stop talking nonsense." Lin Shuo said, "I told you to open the door, who told you to peek at someone's door."
"Okay." Wei Xingshan responded, and pushed the city gate with one hand.
The city gate remained motionless.
"Hey, it's a bit heavy." Wei Xingshan said, putting Lin Shuo's spear aside,
The giant man squatted, moved his shoulders, and then put his hands back on his chest, and inserted the fingers of both hands into the crack of the door.
"Give it to me!" Wei Xingshan yelled violently, and the muscle lines of his arms suddenly tightened.
The two city gates were shaken a little, and dust fell down one after another.
Wei Xingshan shook the dust on his head, and then began to twist left and right, constantly exerting force.
"Old Wei, are you opening the door of your toilet?" Lin Shuo couldn't stand it any longer. "This is not moving the door left and right. What's the use of pushing it to both sides?"
"Hey, I'm lost in anger." Wei Xingshan smiled and took a few steps back.
Then the man banged on the door with a "bang".
The huge impact echoed continuously in this huge enclosed space.
The door was not knocked open, but the dust on the city gate kept falling like an avalanche, almost burying Wei Xingshan alive.
"Bah!" Wei Xingshan couldn't see anything at this time, he spit out a mouthful of sand and rubbed his eyes with both hands, "Old Lin, is it on?"
"You don't know anything in your own mind?" Lin Shuo pinched his nose with one hand while fanning ashes in front of his face with the other, and said in a muffled voice.
Anne and Yang Tuo also retreated one after another. This large cloud of dust fell on the ground like a sea wave, and it could still surge out.
"I'll go, this door has been closed for hundreds or thousands of years, right? The soil is too big." Wei Xingshan finally recovered his vision, took out a mask from his combat vest, put it on, and looked up.
These are two stone gates that are about ten meters high, and the surface has been weathered. More than half of the dust falling down is the weathered layer on the surface of the stone gates.
If it hits again, it is estimated that there will be another "avalanche".
Wei Xingshan felt that being so stupefied was not an option, so he picked up the black phoenix spear leaning against the door, and stuck the end of the spear into the crack of the door.
The man was about to pry open the door, but found that the spear in his hand was missing.
"This is my family's treasure, you use it as a crowbar?" Lin Shuo rolled his eyes at Wei Xingshan, and with two clicks, he dismantled the spear and inserted it into the quiver behind him.
"There's no other way." Wei Xingshan felt that he was really in the wrong, so he grinned, and then waved his hands, "I tried my best, you should do it."
Lin Shuo sighed: "I wanted to give you a chance to show off and make you more confident, but it's a pity that you didn't live up to it."
"I think I'm pretty good at it." Wei Xingshan wiped the dust off his face, showing a proud expression of defeat, "I almost knocked down the two big stone gates so high."
Lin Shuo shook his head, reached out and inserted one hand into the crack of the door, gently supported it, and retracted it slightly.
"Squeak~"
The door opened.
Wei Xingshan looked at the slowly opening stone door with disgrace, as if he had been petrified.
Anne froze for a moment, and then the beauty tried to hold back her laughter, but failed, she squatted on the ground with a "poof".
Yang Tuo, who had always been serious, now had a smile on his face.
The contrast is too strong.
Just now Wei Xingshan was picking and bumping again, and the strength of breastfeeding was used up. Especially the collision, the noise was louder than thunder.
As a result, Lin Shuo went up and pulled gently, and the door opened.
Wei Xingshan was in a bad mood: "The door was actually opened?"
"Nonsense." Lin Shuo gave Wei Xingshan a white look, "Doors can't be opened or pushed, so they can only be opened?"
"Who designed this door? It's so wicked!" Wei Xingshan supported the already opened stone door and looked at it, "There's not even a doorknob on it, who the hell knows the door will be opened!"
"Should the word 'La' be written on the outside of the door, just like the glass door of a shopping mall?" Lin Shuo asked rhetorically.
"Yeah, humanized."
"This is the city gate. The city gate is controlled by the people in the city." Yang Tuo said at this time, "So most of the city gates are opened from the inside, so that the people in the city can easily operate."
"Shut up, Lao Yang." Wei Xingshan said in a smug voice, "You are an afterthought, why didn't you say it earlier?"
"It would have been less of a joke if I said it earlier." Yang Tuo adjusted his glasses and said solemnly.
"You..." Wei Xingshan was at a loss for words for a while, then the man stomped his feet and walked towards the door.
Lin Shuo stretched out his hand and held down the giant man.
"what happened again?"
"Use your headlamp to take a picture and see clearly." Lin Shuo reminded.
Hearing that Lin Shuo's tone didn't sound like a joke, Wei Xingshan quickly looked at the situation inside the door.
This door is directly facing a wall. Wei Xingshan saw this wall just now when he was looking at the crack of the door, so he knew that the passage into the city goes to both sides.
Using the headlight to look to the left and right, Wei Xingshan gasped in his heart.
Yes, I owe Lin Shuo another life.
I saw that the walls of the left and right passages were covered with dense round holes.
Wei Xingshan had taken culture courses in the military academy before, and he had come into contact with such ancient military architecture materials.
He knew that the city gate was facing a wall, and the passage went to both sides. This structure was called Wengcheng, which was the defense system of the city gate.
These small round holes on the wall of the urn are definitely not chiseled out for fun, they are some kind of mechanism.
As for whether the round hole can be filled with arrows, crossbows or bullets, it depends on the age when the city was built.
Anyway, one thing is for sure, if Lin Shuo didn't hold him down and really walked in, he might have become a hornet's nest by now.
Wei Xingshan, who was in a cold sweat, turned his gaze to Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo was puzzled by him for a while: "Why are you looking at me?"
Wei Xingshan pouted to the side: "Old Lin, come on."
"My life is so worthless?"
"No, you are very capable!"
"I don't understand the secret technique of mechanism."
"Then what should we do? Let's go home?"
"Impossible." Lin Shuo shook his head, "Since the door was opened, I have smelled the hooked snake, the black water dragon king, and Xiao Ba, and my prey and pets are inside. This city, I have to go in."
After saying this, Lin Shuo turned to look at Anne: "Come and listen."
"Okay!" Anne nodded, and leaned down beside the city gate, with her ears on the ground.
Then she cheered up.
"There are quite a few people inside." Anne said while listening, "It's just a little far away, I can't tell how many there are."
"Great!" Yang Tuo shook his fist vigorously, and then said to Lin Shuo, "Mr. Lin, please."
Lin Shuo nodded, and then looked a little regretful: "If there are hunters from the Cao family here, it's like there is no such mechanism. But now, it's a problem. Take out all the flashlights in your bag, and illuminate this place brightly." Some, let's study together."
"good!"
