After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 447 The Secret Inside the City Wall
Which one of the people he knows will be in Lingxu City?Hong Chenglue?
Li Qingge stopped talking, and blinked at him: "Good night."

\\\\\

He Lingchuan opened his eyes, seeing that the sun had already passed the middle of the sky and would sink into the horizon in two hours, so he couldn't help being slightly startled.

He returned to the hometown of souls, and was riding on horseback. There was a magnificent city wall in front of the left, but this was not Panlong City.

He looked left and right, all members of the Broken Knife Squad were there, and there were more than [-] Gale Army soldiers accompanying him.

Straight ahead is a fiery red cloak.

Red General?
Are they following the Red General?

He Lingchuan came back to his senses, and found that the city wall that his group was passing was really familiar:
This is Nishina Miyagi!
It only took half a day for the Panlong Army to enter the Xiyu Kingdom before, but it took more than ten days to take the Miyagi, until the king, officers and soldiers in the Miyagi were trapped until they ran out of ammunition and food, and finally surrendered without a fight. .

Therefore, He Lingchuan was deeply impressed by the appearance of this palace city, but it was only limited to the appearance.

Inside, he came in for the first time.

During the siege, more than 1 soldiers were squeezed into Miyagi, and the stench was everywhere. Fortunately, the pickled things have been cleaned up long ago.As far as He Lingchuan can see, the palaces are connected end to end, with complete planning and exquisite appearance.

The door panel behind him also walked and watched: "It seems that during our siege, the more than 1 officers and soldiers and Hu Yanzhao were all crowded here. It is not crowded at all, and everyone can have a place to live."

Liu Tiao snorted: "The people's livelihood is withered outside, but the carved beams and painted buildings inside, deserve to die!"

He Lingchuan whispered: "Should we go back east?"

Wicker made a gesture of shrugging.A Luo looked left and right: "The news from Panlong City hasn't been handed over yet, the Red General brought us here to do business first."

The crowd followed the Red General to the west side of Miyagi.

The farther you go west, the fewer buildings there are, but more people.

These are civilian craftsmen who set up scaffolding inside the palace city, and more than 200 people took tools to chisel the walls.

A large piece of the wall has been chiseled, and it looks like a big gap from the outside.

Everyone here is also at a loss.

During the siege, the palace city of Xixiang was in good condition and was hardly attacked. Why should it be destroyed now?

General Nan Ke seemed to be acting as a supervisor, and when he saw the Red General, he came up to meet him: "The craftsmen complained that the wall was surprisingly hard, and it took a long time to make such a hole, and I don't know how many drills and stone hammers were broken. "

He Lingchuan and the others looked at each other.

The city wall of Xixiang looks tall and thick, but how could it be so hard?

It took most of the day for the craftsmen to concentrate on digging the wall. If during the war, how could there be such a good environment for the soldiers to dig out the wall slowly?If you want to break through this wall, you may have to pile up a lot of lives.

The Red General was also looking at the wall: "Are you sure it was excavated from here?"

"It is said in the classics that Beicheng was captured in the past, and this is the only gap that was opened." General Nan Ke waved his hand to invite an elderly palace man, "This guy also participated in the construction of the Xijing Palace back then, it is a living map .”

The palace man bowed to the red general and saluted: "We... the villain's surname is Chang, and he has stayed in the palace for more than ten years. The general just takes orders!"

The red general pointed, and the servant Chang nodded again and again: "It's here, it's here! The palace city of Xixiang was built on the basis of the old site of Beicheng. Gao, it has become what it is today."

Bay City?He Lingchuan had never heard of it, but A Luo whispered: "So this is Beicheng?"

He Lingchuan turned his head and saw that the door panel and wicker were also a little dazed.

Fortunately, it's okay, I'm not the only poor student.

A Luo knew that it was time for class by looking at their expressions, and whispered science: "More than a thousand years ago, a city was built here, called Beicheng. Later, it was invaded by foreigners and died. I heard the legend of it, but I didn't expect it The Xijin Palace was built on the ruins of Beicheng."

The door panel let out a hey: "It seems that the Feng Shui here is not very good."

Beicheng was invaded by foreigners and died.

Xixiang built a palace on this basis, but was invaded by Panlong City and died.

More than a thousand years apart, history has reincarnation.

The regular attendant in that chamber continued: "This is still chiseled inside. The outside of the palace city is not afraid of artillery, magical bombardment, nor is it afraid of siege guns and ground sinking vehicles."

The door panel made a loud sound: "It seems that the defensive formation is really good."

Chang's servant just went on: "The most powerful thing is that the city wall does not need to deploy defensive formations at all to achieve this effect."

The Gale soldiers were a little surprised.

Not using formations means saving energy.Fighting is all about consumption. The city wall itself is so hard that it is very difficult for the opponent to deal with.

"I heard that the foreign enemy attacked for more than four months and cost [-] to [-] lives before they opened that hole in the city wall." Chang Nei said, "The monarch, uh, the Huyan family took advantage of it because of its advantages. The Miyagi was built as a foundation. Although the gap is blocked in the back, it is not as hard as other sections of the old wall.”

Is this still the hardest part?He Lingchuan took a deep breath.

No wonder the Red General let the Panlong army besiege and not attack, preferring to spend precious time fighting a war of attrition. She should have known this history in advance.

Otherwise, the Gale Army would have to use their lives to test the hardness of the former Beicheng site.

The Red General disdained: "So what if the city wall is strong? Didn't I take down the Xixiang Palace without a single soldier?"

The city is strong and the guns are powerful, but the owner of the palace is a coward, and finally surrenders himself.

It has never been as simple as external conditions that determine whether a war is won or lost.

The servant often laughed: "Yes, yes, the Red General is wise and powerful!"

While talking, several craftsmen on the scaffold called out: "There is something, there is something caught in the wall!"

Everyone's eyes blurred, and the Red General had already stood on the scaffold two feet above the ground, beside the craftsman.

The craftsman was startled and leaned back.

The Red General grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and plunged into the wall with the other, digging.

Ash powder mud clumps rustled down.

Her hands seemed to work better than a chisel.

General Nan Ke and others also gathered around and watched. They saw something protruding from the wall. It was thick and hard, but not like a stone.

At least not in shape.

The Red General stopped his hands and let out a "huh" breath.

A gust of evil wind blew away the floating ash on the wall, revealing the true appearance of the things underneath.

General Nan Ke lost his voice: "This, this...are these bones?"

Only half of the things in the wall are exposed, and the color is like jade, but it still has a metallic luster in the sun.The iron implements clang and clang when they are knocked up, like knocking on a chime of a bell, and there is a lingering sound.

But no one can misread the shape.

It was a bone, exposed at least three feet outside, and I don't know how long it was inside the wall.

The door panel murmured: "This is not a human bone."

No bone in the human body is so long.

Another craftsman pointed to the high palace wall and said, "There are also there."

Everyone raised their heads, and sure enough, four feet above them, they found another jade-white bone.

The outer wall built by Xilong had been opened long ago, and what the craftsmen are digging now is the old wall of Beicheng.

In other words, there are many bones built in the ancient city walls of Beicheng?

Liu Tiao shivered, and He Lingchuan remembered a legend from his hometown.

The Red General wore a mask, so no one could see her expression, but her voice was calm: "This is the secret of the hardness of the ancient walls of Beicheng."

That is to say, the hardness of the wall depends on these bones?
She took out the dagger casually and chiseled the bone twice.

Sure enough, it didn't move.

The Red General took out another small bottle and poured the liquid on the bone stick.

There were only a few chi chi sounds, white smoke came out from the bone, the sense of smell was as keen as wicker and He Lingchuan, and there was also a strange sour smell.

The Red General continued to pour the acid, and soon the foam was dripping from the bones, and nothing happened when it fell on the mud wall.

Soon, a small hole was etched on the bone rod.

The Red General took a pickaxe and reached into the small hole to dig out.

There seemed to be some black substance on the beak of the pickaxe.

The Red General observed carefully, and He Lingchuan suspected that she had even smelled it.

Then, she jumped off the scaffolding, regretting: "The activity has been lost, and it can't be used anymore. There is no need to dig this wall."

General Nan Ke was still looking at the bones in the wall: "What the hell is this?"

"God's remains." The Red General clapped his hands, "In ancient times, many gods perished in the world. These are their remains."

Those who heard it were startled.

Ancient Bei City actually used the bones of gods to build walls?

Yes, where there is war, there will be corpses.It was no surprise that the remains of the gods fell into the world when the battle of annihilation was so fierce.

Most of the craftsmen here are natives of Xiqiao, and they retreated immediately after hearing her words, and they dared not chisel the walls again.

Some even prostrated themselves on the ground, praying softly, begging the gods to forgive their disrespect.

"Their burials are probably nearby, and the people of Beicheng just use local materials." Who doesn't want a strong city wall? "People in Beicheng can easily obtain their remains. Either they died suddenly here and were not buried, or the seal of the cemetery has been broken or invalidated."

General Hong turned to Chang's servant: "Do you know where the tomb of God is?"

Chang's servant was also dumbfounded just now, and now he shook his head quickly: "No, there is no mention of the cemetery of the gods in the ancient books, General."

"It's a pity that the bones built in the walls have lost their vitality, and they are no different from rocks except that they are harder." The Red General asked him, "If you think about it carefully, is there any place in the palace city where flowers and plants are always green all year round? Afraid of the severe cold and heat?"

"Flowers and plants evergreen?" Chang's servant said without thinking, "Ah, there is such a place, when the entire capital is covered with snow, it is still red and green! The orchid that was the queen's favorite in the past can bloom all year round when planted there. Undefeated, it doesn’t even need to be carefully maintained. Oh, it’s in the West Garden of the Palace, only four hundred steps away from here.”

"lead the way."

Chang's servant's measurement is very accurate, and four hundred steps are exactly four hundred steps, with almost no deviation.

Everyone has already walked into an imperial garden, where exotic flowers and plants are everywhere, laid out in a patchwork pattern, with almost no dead grass and yellow leaves.
