Chapter 18: Divine Arm Bed

Chen Xiaozi knew that this was a sign of the sacred tyrants in the tomb. In an instant, thousands of arrows would shoot at once. He could command the thieves in the world, but he was very outstanding. When he was in this danger, he calmed down. He knew that if everyone fled and rushed around, they would be alive and died. He could only hold on and look for a flaw and find a flaw. Perhaps he still had a chance. He didn't bother to explain carefully to Luo Laowai, and hurriedly called the thieves to stabilize the formation and erected rattan shields to defend.

The thieves shouted in unison, erecting rattan cards around the square formation, and the rattan shields in the formation were held above their heads to block them. It is very common for fire poison smoke to be hidden in ancient tombs. Whether it is ladders or shields, they are soaked in potions, which can prevent water and fire. The formation is tightened immediately and protected from airtight.

Luo Laowai and several engineers left the square formation. They saw the thieves erecting rattan signs, protecting the formation like an iron barrel. They also heard the sound of the machine springs on the front of the city, and knew that something was wrong, so they fled into the formation as if they were flying. Chen Xiaozi also directed the thieves to move closer to them. Almost at the same time, the arrows on the four walls had already shot down.

The arrow rain flew locusts, and several engineers were slightly slower under their feet and were shot to the ground on the spot. Luo Laowai was a person who crawled out of the pile of dead people. Seeing that the momentum was not good, he just drilled into the cracks and treated his brothers as living shields. Finally, he struggled to escape back to the four-door bottom shield formation of the thieves in the Xiling Mountains, but he did not hurt half a hair.

Chen was protected by the thieves in the middle. He heard the arrows coming out of the sky, and they were shot on the rattan cards and fell one after another. Although the arrows were old, their strength was still amazing. He complained secretly, and then he thought, although this rain of arrows was powerful, he protected the shield around him, and even if the water was poured, he could not be penetrated. He only had to drag it for a moment. The machinery on the city was exhausted. If it weren't for the large number of thieves in the thieves and the strong equipment, he would probably be unable to escape this problem.

Unexpectedly, when he had these lucky thoughts, he felt that the fire was burning. It turned out that some arrows were hidden in the fire, and it was burning in the wind. Many tiny oil and fish paste were hidden in the bones in the city. It was immediately caused by the fire. It was like a flame burning the city. The thieves were trapped in the sea of ​​fire. The formation was in chaos. Blind Chen hurriedly asked the brothers outside to just block the arrows. The "centipede hanging on the mountain ladder" inside to explore the "centipede hanging on the mountain ladder" inside, pushed the bones around everyone, and pushed the fire wall away. As soon as it was a little messed up, the shield array was exposed, and several thieves were immediately injured with arrows, and the sharp clusters were all barbed. They could not be pulled out when they entered the flesh. They screamed like a pig slaughter.

Although the thieves in the Xiling Mountain pushed the nearby bones away, their feet were still on fire. It turned out that flammable oil bricks were buried underground, but the turbid oil in the oil bricks had already evaporated a lot, and the burning momentum was not strong. Even so, it would be enough to burn the soles of the feet. Chen Jianzi cursed: "Yuan Gou is so vicious, I really want to kill them all!" Seeing that the fire became more and more intense, it made everyone feel difficult to breathe, as if fire ashes were about to emerge from their throats. As long as someone in the group was a little timid and confused, the formation would disperse. Then the thieves entering the city were counted as one, and no one could escape. Even if they were not burned to death, they would be shot into a hedgehog alive. Whether they could hold on for a while is the key to life and death. They did not dare to neglect them immediately, and quickly shouted, "Brothers, listen to my orders, and slap the tower and leave Qingzi!"

The group of thieves were forced by the fire, like a group of ants on a hot pan. Just as there was a chaos, the thief leader suddenly ordered a "bamboo ladder tower" to be built. Fortunately, the dragons had their heads and hurriedly supported several "centipede hanging mountain ladders" in one place. A simple "bamboo pagoda" was built above the large stone coffin with the weakest fire. The formation was rounded, each holding rattan signs in his hands, climbing on the ladder with arrows, a little further away from the scorching ground. The panicked thieves gradually stabilized, but after such a move, several people were inevitably broken.

At this time, the rain of arrows was concentrated in the area where the coffin was arranged, aiming at the weakest place in the fire, and kept shooting. Fortunately, the angle of the machine was fixed and the rules were cleared and it was able to withstand it. However, the bamboo pagoda made of "centipedes hanging on the mountain ladder" was surrounded by a large fire, and the thieves seemed to be trapped on an isolated island in the sea of ​​fire. Chen took advantage of the fire and took the opportunity to look up the enemy's building. If you don't look at it, you'd really look like you're ashamed.

I saw that the top of the city was filled with maids, and there were countless wooden people standing behind them. Those wooden people were as tall as ordinary people, with very simple structure. The armor and robes on their bodies were decayed. Their heads were painted with oil paint, staring at them, and their expressions were solemn. They were divided into two teams, and the movement of "carrying arrows and hanging strings and shooting" was repeated. There was a mercury well in the enemy building as a machine. Once the mercury began to spread, it would be repeated over and over again until the bow was completely gone, or the machine was broken.

Chen had previously heard the strange aura in the enemy building. It was because there was a mercury well hidden in the building. Before we could tell the details, the ambush was triggered by the mechanism. It turned out that in the Huang-Lao technique of cultivating immortals and elixirs, lead and mercury were essential. One of the important reasons why the emperors who sought immortals in the past chose Pingshan as a place for alchemy was that Chenzhou was rich in cinnabar. Chenzhou sand could extract the best mercury, and Xiangxi was rich in mercury. However, after all, there have been many civil changes since ancient times. Emperor Daojun was worried that the elixir was refined and the elixir was taken away by the rioters, so he secretly stationed in the imperial guards. After operating for a long time, he built a pass in the hillside.

In the Song Dynasty, the people who valued culture and over military commanders were all incompetent people who talked about military affairs on paper. They had no real knowledge in military affairs and only wanted to deal with the emperor's fault. They didn't care whether this city pass could play any military role. Moreover, Song Huizong considered himself a barefoot immortal descending to earth and liked the most in his life. There was a favored Taoist Duobao in front of the emperor. He claimed that he was good at the art of mechanical springs. He imitated Zhuge Wuhou's wooden ox and flowing horses and invented many mechanisms and equipment, which were used by the emperor in the army.

Because the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty were most afraid of being beaten up, the tomb owner and the tomb robbers were irreconcilable, which was a cruel battle between the dead and the living. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a duel, because no one fell to anyone, and the tomb owner's body was unloaded. If the tomb owner's body was removed from the ridge, it must be "knocking teeth and elixirs, scraping jade naked body, peeling skin and rings, and sucking intestines and beads". Even if it was a punishment for burning the body, it was not so cool. The anti-theft mechanisms set up by the tomb owner were mostly sinister and vicious. Counting the mechanisms that "burn fire, buried alive in quicksand, damaging the bones of huge rocks, and toxic devouring the rotten liquid". How could there be any sympathy in this?

During that period, the suspected tombs of virtual tombs were very popular, so there was a lot of saying "tombs moved" in the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, they were all fake hills that confused the thieves' ear tombs. They were also built to seek real things. The coffin and the artifacts were spared no effort. Once they were broken, they thought that the tomb owner had already ascended to the immortals and solved the problem, and no one would pursue the real location of the tomb chamber.

The tomb passage in the Pingshan Gate leads directly to this trap-like urn. If the tomb robbers dig it here with a cow and horse, it would be difficult for a large group of people to do so. So the city gate that guards the Immortal Palace has built a virtual tomb, isolating the channel connecting to the real tomb chamber, and using the original mechanism to modify it, it has become a ghost army protecting the tomb, hoping to catch all the thieves who dare to come in and fight in one place. It is a sinister virtual tomb trap.

Chen was not really able to calculate, and his past experience could not be used in the tombs of the Guanxian Palace, Pingshan. Even if he had guessed it, he could not have imagined that it would be like this. At this time, he realized something and couldn't help but feel that the cold air was coming from the cracks of his bones. Although those wooden men and machines were dead, they could all move. Once the machine was gone, wooden men would carry arrows to load them. I don't know how many arrows were stored in the city and when it was shot, the fire in the city spread. After a long time of being trapped on the bamboo pagoda, the scorching airflow was unbearable.

These ambushing mechanisms in the sea of ​​rocks may not play any practical role in the real battle formation offensive and defense. However, the thieves from the Shanling Mountains came in tombs but were not here to attack the city and capture the village. In addition, they did not expect in advance, and they lost the opportunity as soon as they came up, and they were inevitably at a disadvantage. More than a hundred people were trapped on the bamboo pagoda and struggled to support them.

At this time, Luo Laowai also calmed down. He was a brave and cruel Tai Sui, but when he saw that there were all the wooden men with wide eyes on the city, he didn't know the reason for the action of the machine spring. He thought that the ghost soldiers guarding the tomb in the tomb came to attack, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but the bandit's temperament was attacking, so why bother with it? Even if he really entered the Senluo Palace, he wanted to fight to trap beasts, so he ordered his subordinates to shoot at the top of the city. He himself drew out his two guns and fired his bow left and right. For a moment, the gunfire sounded loudly and bullets flew everywhere.

The wood people on the city were extremely tight and had a very simple structure. The wood was immortal and not easy to damage. Even if it was hit by a bullet, it would be difficult to have too much impact on their actions. Moreover, the situation was chaotic. Luo Laowai and others shot in the rain of guns, and it was difficult to determine whether they had hit the target. However, his eyes were red and he instantly shot all the bullets of the two revolvers in an instant. He gritted his teeth and loaded the bullets. As a result, the movement was a little larger. The military cap on his head was shot down by an arrow from the city. He was so scared that he hurriedly narrowed his neck and hid his head, cursing the eighth generation of the ancestors of the ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers.

Chen Weizi held Luo Laowai down, so that he could not act rashly. He looked up and saw the enemy tower up the city, and expected that the main pivotal instrument was in it. He turned his mind. Only by destroying the mercury mechanism in the enemy tower and stopping the arrow rain could he have a chance to escape. However, it was not easy to climb to the top of the city in the chaos of arrows. Even if he could avoid a rain of locust arrows that was tightly lit up, there was a fire rising everywhere in the city. Who has the ability to fly across the sea of ​​fire?

Chen looked at the "centipede hanging on the mountain ladder" under his feet, and felt a little conspiring in his heart. He was brave and was about to risk his life to try his life, but he was suddenly grabbed by the mute Kunlun Mole. It turned out that Kunlun Mole was not deaf and dumb, and he could not speak, but he was still there and followed Chen for many years. Seeing the leader's expression, he understood his intentions. He quickly made a gesture to go through fire and water for Chen, climbed to the top of the city to destroy the enemy building that infused with mercury. He slapped his chest, stared at him and tongue, and made a gesture to wipe his neck. He probably said that the life of the mute was the thief's leader, so what's the defense of death?

Chen Weizi knew that Kunlun Mole was a savage in the mountains, and his skill was extremely agile and not within ordinary people's reach. If he went there, he might have a chance to succeed. He could support the bamboo ladder and jump across the sea of ​​fire. As long as he reached the bottom of the city wall, it would be a dead corner that his master could not shoot. At this moment, his feet were already burning and hard to stop the city without delay.

But before the mute Kunlunmole took action, I suddenly heard a sound of strings coming from the high places around me. Although the sound of strings being played by the wooden man Zhang Ji was not so violent, the thieves were trembling in their hearts when they were attached to the bamboo pagoda. I wonder what the reason was?

Suddenly, a loud string sound was heard, and the sharp sound of breaking the wind roared. Everyone looked up and was shocked. An arrow as thick as a human arm came like a meteor, like thunder, with a golden wind, shot out from a giant corpse on the top of the city, running straight down at the bamboo pagoda where the thieves gathered.

The thieves knew that it was the "Divine Arm Bed" envoyed by the military formation in ancient times. Even the rammed earth wall could be shot through, but the thieves could not dodge in the fire and arrows. Moreover, the bed was strong and powerful, and they didn't have time to dodge when they saw it. The giant thief arrived next to him in the blink of an eye. The first thief suddenly saw this momentum and didn't even have time to scream, so they had to bite the bullet and take the rattan card.

The rattan card is still good to shoot with ordinary arrows, but for the giant beds used to shoot the city, it is like a mantis arm blocking a car. The arrow of the three-left armored cone crushed the rattan card, making the thief penetrate the ball. Before the remaining momentum was gone, the two engineers behind him penetrated, and the flesh and blood were broken and nailed to the ground. A bloody alley was broken out from the bamboo tower, and arrows were shot in. Some people were shot one after another and fell down the bamboo ladder and rolled into the fire. Mute Kunlun Mole also got several arrows.

The rest of the people were shocked. The corpses that were shot through were splattered so that Luo Laowai's face was covered with blood. Before the thieves could block the gap that was shot through by the force, several strings were stretched out in the city. Several "bedrooms" Ying Xian flew out and shot from different directions. Luo Laowai's face was filled with hot human blood. As soon as he wiped it, he saw a flash of cold stars in front of him. Before he could see clearly, the hard master had already shot in front of him.

"Bed" is a powerful weapon in ancient wars. The shaped frame is like a wooden bed, divided into three to strong strings. There are two twisters behind the bed, which are strong and powerful. They are shot in the helmets and armors hidden behind the "city gate, shield formation, earth wall". The soldiers and generals of the Jin Kingdom, a mortal enemy of the Northern Song Dynasty, were particularly afraid of such strong men who fought head-on. They all called them "sacred students". There are countless people who were lost under it. However, the sacred arms of the bed are slow to move, so they are slower than ordinary machines. However, at this moment, more than ten "sacred arms of the bed" hidden on the surrounding city walls were instilled and activated by machines one by one. Several divine powers roared and shot down, and immediately defeated the formation barely supported by the thieves in the ridge.
