This huge abyss is densely packed with pits for carriages and horses, at least hundreds of them.
The so-called carriage and horse pit means that when nobles in ancient times died, a certain number of carriages were buried with them, so that they could take the carriages to Jiuquan after death!
A few of us came forward with torches to check. Yin Ling'er pointed to a pale rectangular skull in the pit at her feet, and shouted in surprise: "Oh my God, what kind of head is this?"
"Horse!" I replied.
Yin Ling'er snorted arrogantly, and I knelt down, but I saw that in addition to horse bones, there were many chariot wreckage in the pit, such as rotten reins, worn-out wheels, etc., but they were all covered with a thick layer of Thick gray.
Back then, with hundreds of fully armed tanks, we could have launched a war!
In my mind, the scene of rolling wheels and countless Shang Dynasty warriors holding bronze swords and charging towards the enemy also appeared.
At this time, Bai Shui said, a history expert in the team: "In the slave society of the past thousands of years, chariots and horses actually represented identity and status. Even the different styles of chariots and horses also represented different statuses, such as the emperor's chariot. You can use six horses to pull, but the princes can only use five horses. If you are a commoner, you can only use one horse. If you don't follow this rule, you will commit the crime of transgression and misdemeanor. In other words, he will be punished, and in the worst case, the nine tribes will be destroyed! So just by looking at the number of horses in each burial pit, you can roughly determine the identity of the tomb owner. "
"But the chariots and horses here are a little different. They are all chariots! As beings who charge into battle in wars, they often appear in the tombs of generals, showing the demeanor of the owner of the tomb in life. I hope he will still be invincible after death. It is worth visiting What I mentioned is that the first dynasty to use chariots and horses in war was the Shang Dynasty. The more chariots there are, the more powerful the country is. But hundreds of chariots were buried at one time. Oh my god, this is the first time I have seen them. ”
Lin Jianye also echoed Baishui's words, saying that the tomb owner must have a very high status and be a warlike king.
Then he began to talk about the importance of chariots when the Shang Dynasty conquered surrounding tribes: "At that time, rebellions often occurred on the northern border, so Fuhao, the wife of Shang King Wuding, took command and went out. This heroic female general suddenly became This aroused the bloodiness of the army! After all, even the queen was the first to charge, so there was no reason for them to retreat..."
"wrong!"
Looking at the chariot and horse pit due west, I suddenly raised my head.
Lin Jianye was obviously a little unhappy, but he still smiled and asked me, what was wrong with what he said?
I ignored him and said to Lao Jiang: "Master, have you noticed that there are a total of 150 chariot and horse pits here, but nearly fifty of them are empty...the horses and chariots inside are empty." Gone."
A soldier interjected: "Maybe there are not enough carriages and horses for the burial."
Lao Jiang's face suddenly darkened, and he counted quickly and said: "No! This is definitely not the reason. The only explanation is that there is something wrong with these empty carriage pits, or even... we have already fallen into surrounded by agencies."
Having said this, Lao Jiang immediately ordered a retreat.
Kuroki thinks our worries are unfounded. After all, thousands of years have passed, and there is no guarantee that these old objects will not turn into ashes. However, just when he was laughing at us for being too cautious, a strange sound suddenly sounded.
Ding bell…ding bell…ding bell…
Kuroki still wanted to speak, but the smile froze on his face, because the sound of pulling chains echoed throughout the abyss, and Lao Jiang shouted: "There is a trap, hurry up, pull the rope and pull back!"
However, it was too late at this time.
All the Taotie sculptures on the rock walls of the Western Zhou Dynasty opened their big mouths, revealing the dark passages inside.
The secret passage was definitely not a way out, but lanes, because I was surprised to find that chariots exuding a cold air were driving out of it, eight in total.
Block all our escape routes!
Those chariots are all made of bronze, with a faint green light all over their bodies. Even the horses pulling the chariots are made of mechanisms. There are also stiff puppet knights sitting on them, holding bronze guns in their hands. , the movements are neat and consistent.
It's just that there are no facial features at all, just extremely cold square faces, like death knights from the underworld.
It makes people shudder just by looking at it!
"What is this?" Platoon Leader Zhang asked in panic.
However, no one could answer him, because this was the first time we encountered this kind of mechanism chariot. Only Lao Jiang held the black knife on his waist with a wry smile and said: "I told you that the mechanism of the Shang Dynasty was unparalleled in the world, but not I believe... I’ve stoked a hornet’s nest this time.”
"What should we do now?" I looked at Lao Jiang.
"Everyone spread out, don't act rashly! Let's explore the bottom of this thing first." Old Jiang narrowed his eyes and said.
As a result, a soldier in the team was too frightened and the gun in his hand went off. The sound of a gunshot was like thunder on the ground, making all eight tanks move.
Call!
That was the neighing sound of the mechanical horse, and the knight on the chariot at the front raised his bronze gun high, as if his soul was awakened at this moment.
Immediately, the chariot rolled over the soldier who had fired at a very fast speed. The soldier was obviously panicked and his whole body was shaking like a sieve. Platoon Leader Zhang shouted to him to shoot, but he couldn't even hear him.
At the critical moment, Platoon Leader Zhang took the bolt and loaded the gun, and shot the puppet knight's head. In an instant, the puppet knight's head was like an exploding watermelon, with sawdust flying everywhere.
I was just about to breathe a sigh of relief and praise the platoon leader for his marksmanship.
But seeing that the chariot had no intention of stopping, the puppet knight who had lost his head still waved his bronze sword and cut off the soldiers in front of him.
The moment the blood burst out, the soldier's internal organs and intestines flew several meters away...
He Lanxue frowned slightly and wanted to draw the sword, but was pushed back by Lao Jiang.
Call! Call!
Several other chariots followed the charge, and sharp bronze weapons passed by in the darkness, making a sound with the sound of wind.
The entire team was forced into a corner. Platoon leader Zhang yelled at Lao Jiang to find a way. Lin Jianye also began to sarcastically mock Lao Jiang, saying that Lao Jiang was a black sword unicorn, but he didn't see through such a big trap early.
Lao Jiang suddenly roared: "Stop arguing!"
Immediately, gleams of light shot out from his eyes, and he carefully observed every move of those chariots.
Slowly, his eyes locked on the wheels of the chariot.
At the same time, I also discovered the secret, and we shouted almost at the same time: "Yes, this thing has orbits!"
It turns out that the reason why these chariots are the first line of attack every time is because the wheels are sliding along a track, so even if the puppet knight is headshot, it will not affect the movement of the chariots at all.
It's just that the tracks were all hidden under dust, and we didn't notice them at first.
Lao Jiang directed us to look for places without tracks. These places are blind spots for avoiding chariots. Unexpectedly, after going back and forth, those chariots actually started to charge together in two or three.
In this case, the blind spot of one tank will inevitably be breached by another tank.
"Damn it, how could people from thousands of years ago be so smart and even practice the art of war!" Lao Jiang was furious and led us to hide here and there.
Gradually, the physical strength of those archaeological experts could no longer keep up. One expert was hit in the arm by a chariot. There was only a crisp sound of bones breaking, and a shrill scream suddenly resounded throughout the abyss.
Just when the next chariot came and the puppet knight was about to cut him in half, He Lanxue reached out to help and used Qinggong to take him away.
However, there are fewer and fewer places to stand in the pit, and the trajectory of the chariot is becoming more and more tricky. If we continue like this, we will definitely be beaten to death!
I looked at Lao Jiang in panic, but Lao Jiang was in a daze.
He smacked his lips and stared at the bronze Taotie head on the rock wall of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Just when I couldn't help but wanted to ask, Lao Jiang suddenly slapped his thigh: "I know! Every chariot You can only launch one attack at a time. After the attack, it will return to the opposite Taotie's mouth to power up the machine. "
It turned out that he was silent just now because he was looking for patterns, and finally he discovered the secret.
Lao Jiang also told everyone all the blind spots in the current safety, and asked us to withdraw immediately and take shelter. These chariots were handed over to him.
"Uncle Jiang, can you do it alone?" Yin Ling'er was a little worried.
Lao Jiang laughed and showed a sly side face: "Uncle Jiang still owes you three candied haws, and everything will be fine."
After saying that, Lao Jiang spit out the cigarette butts in his mouth and rushed towards the first chariot.
At that moment, Lao Jiang no longer looked philistine and vulgar, but looked like a black unicorn that could cut off the sins between heaven and earth. With just a touch of his fingers, the black knife on his waist came out of its sheath.
Only then did I realize how fast Lao Jiang was and how agile he was.
His body moved and dodged, and every step was faster than my naked eyes. He shuttled between the chariots with ease. At first, I thought he wanted to express himself and show off his strength.
He Lanxue also frowned and cursed secretly: "No matter how old you are, you still have the mentality of a child."
As a result, I soon realized something was wrong...
All the chariots touched by Lao Jiang suddenly seemed to have lost control, and actually hit the rock wall. Some were mixed together, the ones behind hit the front, the left hit the right, and the first hit. The West is divided.
In just one stick of incense, there were only two chariots left in the sinkhole.
The range of our activities is getting wider and wider, but the chance of a chariot collision is greatly reduced. Lao Jiang's black knife drew a cold light, and soon the belly of a machine horse was cut open. I was surprised. I found that there was something like a gear turning in the horse's belly.
But as soon as Lao Jiang pulled the gear, the chariot stopped moving on the spot.
It seems that as long as the mechanism in the belly of the machine is destroyed, the chariot will lose power.
Seeing this scene, Yin Ling'er clapped her hands with excitement: "Uncle Jiang, now I finally believe that you are the Black Saber Qilin!"
Lao Jiang raised his chin proudly, put the black knife into its sheath, and assumed a posture that he thought would captivate all sentient beings, but he found that He Lanxue was not looking at him at all.
"Ximei, am I strong?" Lao Jiang simply asked himself.
He Lanxue narrowed her eyes slightly and replied: "You are always the best at mechanisms..."
The implication is that it is not surprising even if Lao Jiang can crack the tank, his performance is average and in line with his normal level.
Lao Jiang was a little discouraged and wiped the sweat from his forehead. After experiencing such a dangerous scene, although the casualties were not large, with only one person dead and one injured, everyone's morale was obviously weakened, and the archaeological team experts also looked shocked.
"Are you willing to listen to me now? It's still too late to go up now." Lao Jiang said.
Those experts were obviously very scared, but they also had a sense of obsession.
They sighed unwillingly, looked at Lao Jiang and said, "Will the Yin Ruins be opened in the future?"
Lao Jiang nodded and replied with two words: "Yes."
Although Lin Jianye still persisted, everyone retreated one by one. In the end, 80%25 of them agreed to retreat by a show of hands. After all, the chopped-in-half corpse in front of them had too much impact on them.
Heimu is a rock climbing expert in the archaeological team. He looked at his companion's broken arm and said, "Lao Lu, just wait. When we go up, I will be the first to pull you!"
The injured specialist smiled at him and said hello.
But he saw that Kuroki was as flexible as a monkey. He was holding the rope with both hands and stepping on the rock wall with his legs.
However, just when he lowered his head to tell us that he was safe, we all showed horrified expressions!
