Crossing the Hittite goddess

Karl and Bai Bai rode together in a chariot, going to Arzawa as the new king's first battle has a different meaning.

Regarding the extremely serious situation in front of him, the person involved, King Karl, didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all, and he hugged the envoy all day long.Soldiers must pay special attention. If they accidentally bump into something they should not look at, they are very likely to be dragged out by the king and beaten to death with sticks, so they must be extra careful.Thinking of the prince who was promiscuous everywhere a few years ago, who could fascinate the soul with a smile and captivate all living beings, compared to the majestic and spontaneous His Majesty the king who squinted his eyes slightly and made his legs tremble spontaneously, the former one is still cuter.Sure enough, he is worthy of being an envoy of God!

The march was particularly hard, and Karl took good care of Bai Yi along the way. The daily necessities were all brought from the palace. Compared with ordinary soldiers, they were quite luxurious.Bai Yi used it for a few days, but I was really embarrassed to use it again, saying that the standard of living should be kept at the same level as that of the soldiers.

"Your class-based differential treatment is not conducive to stabilizing the morale of the army." Bai Bai said to Karl.

Carl replied: "I am the king." In fact, he wanted to make your life easier, but it was not pleasant to be regarded as discriminating!

Bai Yi was speechless, well, this kind of deep-rooted class nature is really hard to change.But after Bai Yi told him, Karl was more restrained than before, and Bai Yi stopped pointing and didn't mention it again.

Bai Yi really wanted to make some friends, but the soldiers basically avoided him.Anyone who dares to get close to the envoy is looking for death if he is tired of work!The king's vinegar jar will be overturned at any time.

After walking for a whole day, the army camped on slightly flat terrain. After walking these days, they faced a major problem: Arzava is located in the Kashka Mountains in northwestern Anatolia. The chariot bumped and bumped in the mountains, and couldn't move forward smoothly at all.

The Chinese invented the car first, but they were not the first users of the chariot.Around the 26th century BC, the Sumerians in the ancient Mesopotamia first used chariots.After the penetration of cultural exchanges, countries followed suit.The heavy-duty chariot borrowed from the Sumerians has relatively poor maneuverability. The Sumerian chariot is made of wood with four wheels and two donkeys. The wheels are small solid wheels with no heavy spokes. Putting two or three planks together in a circle, fastening them together with studs or stays, was slow and unresponsive.After improvement and innovation, a new generation of two-wheeled and two-horse chariot was developed, which is the current Hittite chariot.

Karl summoned his generals to start discussing countermeasures, and Bai Yi also sat aside.

Everyone expressed their opinions, and most of them still felt that it was a helpless choice to go on like this. They couldn’t just throw the car away. In the era of cold weapons, a chariot is equivalent to a small tank.

Bai Yi pouted his face, and lost his mind by accident...

The day before he left, he ran to find Qingluan.Apart from Becker, Bai Yi has only Qingluan as a friend. Although he doesn't get along much, his thoughts are strange enough. He always wants to play with him every now and then, even if he can't see him, he always wants to go. .I really am an appearanceist, do I really like his face?I turned out to be so superficial, Bai Yi reflected and spurned himself.

Bai Yi finally got rid of Becker, the perennial follower, and rushed to the Pantheon to find him.Although it's not appropriate to use a follower to compare this bodyguard Becker, who has changed his face and looks like a handsome boy, but it will still be annoying to keep calling adults!

Bai Yi pushed open the bulky and thick stone door, the inside was brightly lit, covered with exquisite murals and relief carvings on the walls and dome, as if he wanted to open Bai Yi's eyes to the maximum, and Bai Yi looked around the direction of the Qingluan was called softly inside, as if a little loudness would wake up these sleeping gods, Bai Bai watched and walked until he saw a person crouching under the altar in front of him.

Bai Yi paused in his heart, and ran over to help him up.Hei Su's robe slipped off, and his beautiful pale face was covered with strange black lines.

"Qingluan! Qingluan!" Bai Yi shook his shoulders, gently patted Qingluan's face to try to wake him up, Bai Yi checked, he was breathing and his heart was beating, and there was no trauma!

After a while, the black lines on Qingluan's face gradually disappeared, dissipating like black mist, and Qingluan woke up slowly.

"Phew, it's great that you're fine, you scared me." Bai Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine." Qingluan said so, staring at Bai Yi intently, holding Bai Yi's hand even harder.In the reflection of Qingluan's pupils, Bai Yi's originally healthy ivory skin was covered with the same black lines as his.

This catastrophe cannot escape after all.

"Why do you look at me like that?" Bai Yi asked the abnormal Qingluan in confusion.

Qingluan immediately looked away, "It's okay."

"The one on your face just now..."

"fine."

Although everyone has things they don't want to mention, isn't this attitude too indifferent, "You've said three times that you're fine, super indifferent, I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, I'm here on purpose to talk to you Saying goodbye is really heartbreaking. If I don't come back, don't miss me too much!"

Qingluan grabbed Bai Yi's hand and said, "Go to my place and have a drink."

Bai Yi thought about it happily, "That one glass of wine is the limit, so let's have a glass as hard as we can!"

Let's drink wine!In the peach blossom forest, Bai Yi held the glass of mellow and clear wine in his hand. The handsome face of a young man was reflected in the wine. He leaned over, greedily absorbed the rare aroma accumulated over hundreds of years, and closed his eyes to taste it.

Bai Yi put down his wine glass, rolled his eyes, "Qingluan, are you really... an immortal?"

no response.

"Then how old are you?"

no response.

"Where is the East you speak of?"

There was still no response, and Bai Yi's expectant expression was exhausted, so he sat down again and pecked at the wine.

After a while, only a long sigh was heard, Qingluan put down the cup in his hand and said: "My time is running out."

"What, aren't you still very young?" Bai Yi felt that Qingluan was joking, and wasn't he a god?

Qingluan shook her head with a dignified and strange expression.Bai Yi didn't know how to communicate with him anymore, he began to think about how to bribe that arrogant brat next time from the little boy next to Qingluan.

"I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, take care of yourself! If you're not in good health, rest more." Bai Yi could only pick out unnutritious words and say a few words to maintain the atmosphere.

"Where's your weapon?" Qingluan asked.

"Take it with you, here it is." Bai Yi took out the military stab he carried with him.

Qingluan untied the coat of the army thorn and took out the army thorn. The black metal was polished very brightly, and it can be seen that it was treated with care after a weekday. Qingluan stroked the edges and corners with his fingertips, "I saw red flames. The jump, this is a murderous weapon, it has been full of blood."

Bai Yi suddenly felt so heavy that he couldn't breathe, so he nodded.

"No one blames you, you're just protecting yourself, you didn't do anything wrong." Qingluan explained, with a light tap of his fingertips, the army thorn suddenly flashed and then returned to normal, "Guide it after you have anger, You can now use it however you want."

Bai Yi picked up the army thorn on the table and looked at it, there was no difference, "What do you mean using it as you like?" When he turned around, there was no one behind him, and the wind blew a rain of peach blossoms, covering the ground.

Why does Shenlong always play and disappear suddenly without seeing the end, without considering the feelings of an ordinary person like me, is this fun?

......

At this moment in the Pantheon, the pale Qingluan fell to the ground clutching the blood gushing out of his mouth, frightening the little boy who was serving on the side.

"Master Qingluan! Don't scare me! Why are you so stupid? You only have such a little strength, and you are almost dying. Why do you want to share it with him to save your life?"

stupid?That's what someone said about him at the time.

"Didn't you say a long time ago that you found the right person to purify the gentian? If you continue like this, you will be completely polluted!" The little boy kept crying.

In the end it was him!

Qingluan gently closed her eyes, enduring the tearing pain of the two forces fighting in her body!Never let him suffer like this again!

Bai Yi was in the midst of his space surfing, when someone suddenly said, "I don't know if Master God Envoy has any better suggestions or measures?"

Bai Bai took a moment to return to the barracks, and looked left and right. Too bad, I didn’t listen to it at all just now. These grandpa’s discussions are easier to make people fall asleep than listening to theoretical lectures. It’s not easy to fall asleep if you don’t fall asleep on the spot.Bai Yi glanced at Karl, who glanced back at him and ignored him.

Asking you to come over to attend the discussion is not to make you dazed. If I knew you were distracted, I want you to make a fool of yourself and remember this lesson well.Carl has made up his mind not to help.

But it doesn't matter, behind Bai Yi there is an all-round life assistant comparable to a mother - Becker.

"About the improvement of the chariot." Becker reminded in a low voice.

"I think this... eh, I think you didn't focus on the key points when you discussed the issue, you know?" Bai Yi seemed to have grasped a breakthrough point suddenly.The envoy was about to give advice, and the generals all listened attentively.

"You have not made any progress in discussing tanks here. Do you know why? Because none of you here understands the operating principle of tanks, and you don't know how to make better use of the advantages of tanks, so I suggest, hurry up Get someone who can make chariots to join the discussion."

The generals nodded one after another, thinking that what Bai Yi said made sense.

"But what we are discussing is what to do with the current situation, what does it have to do with the operation of the tank?"

In fact, what Becker was talking about was "the question of what to do with the chariot", and it sounded like "the question of transformation".

"Reformation!" Bai Yi slapped the table one by one, and instantly distorted the content of the meeting to the reformation without knowing it at all, and then everyone's thinking jumped to the road of transforming the chariot and rushed together.

Becker cast admiring gazes, Master Yali was really powerful, and he hit the point at once.

It is estimated that among all the people, only Carl, who knows Bai Yi the most, knows the truth, but the transformation Bai Yi said is indeed an alternative path.

After everyone made up their minds, they all agreed with Bai Yi's idea, but listening to what he said, Bai Yi felt that he didn't adopt it because he considered the feasibility of the plan, but because Bai Yi was an envoy of God.Bai Bai smiled and accepted the praise of all parties.

Now that the decision has been made, let's find someone to come quickly. The first, second, and third craftsmen who repair the tanks in the army have all been invited to the meeting.Carriages are put into the battlefield as a mobile shooting platform, which is a common routine for ordinary chariots, but it can bring great changes to the battlefield situation.Generally, there are two soldiers on the car, one driver and one weapon hand.The main weapons of the weapon hand are bows and arrows or throwing guns. Soldiers are dressed in armor. When fighting, chariots and horses gallop towards the enemy.

The leader who repaired the chariot was there to explain the structure, because there would be some technical terms, few people present could half understand.

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell where the shortcomings are and correct them." Carl felt that these messy things were all useless, and he pointed out the key point.

In view of Karl's cold face, the leader hesitated and said, "Bitch, the untouchables think that our Hittite Empire's chariots have always been invincible, but what are the shortcomings of traveling in the mountains? I... I don't know wow..." I almost trembled at the end.

A group of people sat in their seats and stared at him, looking forward to it in vain.A low air pressure passed through, and no one spoke.

"Uncle, draw a blueprint, we don't understand what you say." Bai Yi suggested.

"The blueprint?" The middle-aged man repairing the chariot looked at Bai Yi as if asking for help, "What is the blueprint?"

Bai Yi patted his forehead, where did he get the paper at this time, even if there was paper, the uncle might not be able to draw.Bai Yiyi tilted his head and thought of a rough method. He asked someone to get a few pots of dry fine sand and spread them evenly on the ground. In mountainous areas, this kind of thing is easy to find. Then he picked up a branch on the ground Start drawing the construction diagram of the carriage.Bai Yi has studied art for several years, and his aunt always thinks that he has a good artistic talent. Before that, Bai Yi refused to hold a paintbrush. He said that painting and drawing are things for girls, so he always skipped class and went to the game hall. For the sake of my aunt, I have to push him to study art every day.Thinking about it now, I really didn't let my aunt worry less, Bai Yi thought of the distant home again in my heart!

Bai Yi drew a plan of the carriage with simple lines, then gave the stick to the uncle who repaired the carriage and said, "This will make it clear, please explain it again."

The uncle did as he did, and Bai Yi squatted beside him and thought about it. When he thought of an idea, he discussed it with the uncle. This meeting became an envoy to give a class to the uncle who repaired the car, and there were people sitting around to listen.

Karl sat on it and watched everyone around Bai Yi follow Bai Yi's eyes, and Bai Yi was concentrating on discussing and communicating with others seriously, but the inexplicable irritability in his heart was lingering. Karl knew it was called possessiveness, but He was locked up all the time and was afraid that he would be suffocated, so he took him wherever he went, and put him where he could always see him.To put it bluntly, it is undoubtedly very important to him, almost completely occupying his whole!As long as you haven't seen it for a while, you will feel restless.

This is not good!Carl said to himself.

The old king once warned him that if one day the throne is in your hands, as a king, you can have someone you like and love, but you must never have someone who loves so much that you lose yourself.

The meeting finally decided to make the following improvements to the chariot according to the various plans mentioned by Bai Yi: the number of shafts was changed from six to eight, and the force on the wheels was more uniform; the bearings were thicker, impact-resistant, and load-bearing; In this way, the belly of the car is not easy to get stuck by stones; the wheels are enlarged, and the overall height of the car is higher, which is more advantageous in battle.This means that the wheels of all the chariots have to be replaced. The wood is very simple and can be found everywhere, but where to find a carpenter, there are only a dozen or so people repairing the chariots. car, that has to be changed someday.

Bai Yi is a restless master, actively and enthusiastically helping fell trees to make materials.Karl didn't stop him, and let him fumble around.Mobilized by Bai Yi, the soldiers all volunteered to help.Becker is an absolute all-rounder, not to mention the work of a carpenter, and puts himself into battle quite hard.There are many people and strong strength. In just a few days, all the tanks have been remodeled and installed.

Bai Yi happily ran to report the situation to Carl, "Haha, it's all done, please praise me." With his hands on his hips and his nostrils in the sky, Bai Yi stood in front of Carl to claim credit.

"Good job." Carl looked at the clay tablet in his hand and nodded.

Bai pursed his lips and walked over resentfully, "Hey, perfunctory."

Carl wrapped him in his arms, "Then what do you want, how about a reward that makes you cry so happy?"

Bai Yi pushed away Carl's approaching mouth, "You guys are so inseparable, so be serious."

"Then what is it?" Carl asked seriously.

"What did you say?" Bai Yi asked back.

"What is it?" Carl asked.

"You really, clearly know." Bai Yi was a little annoyed.

Carl continued to pretend to be ignorant, and the two communicated back and forth, and the communication went to a strange place after a while.

The author has something to say:
