Li Er observed carefully for a long time - yes, these horses were really retreating, constantly retreating.
Although it can be seen that these four horses are definitely using their full strength, this scene...
The trend shown shows no signs of stopping or reversing.
When this scene appeared, the young Forbidden Army soldier standing on the side holding the riding whip was a little panicked instinctively - he showed it directly and began to swing his whip more and more vigorously. This emotion is also easy to understand, because he is responsible for driving the horse, the young soldier
I didn't know what the experiment was, so I just subconsciously thought that it was a kind of competition that the army often held, and I also subconsciously placed myself on the side of the war horse.
However……
No matter how hard the little soldier swung his riding crop, he was so tired that his face was covered with sweat in the not-so-hot weather.
However, the four war horses exerted their strength and kept making shrill neighing sounds. The steam car behind them was like the feet of a giant, showing no signs of being pulled!
Just like insects... No matter how powerful the rhinoceros is, how resounding nicknames it has been given by human lovers: Evil Ghost, Heracles... But if it really wants to be stepped on, it will still be...
It's all over in an instant.
The situation at this moment was exactly like that. Everyone couldn't move their eyes away, staring at the four horses... However, no matter how carefully they observed, the footsteps of these horses became more and more chaotic...
Actually.
There is no doubt that if you wait a few more seconds, something tragic will happen. However, at this moment, a group of military elites who had always had thunder in their chests and faces as flat as a lake, all had their eyes wide open. No one even thought of stopping this first.
experiment.
And a few seconds is very short...it passes in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, the steam car suddenly seemed like a wounded beast. The car suddenly shook without any warning. Then, all the hooves of the four horses, a total of sixteen horses, lost their order in an instant, and then the horses fell to the ground one after another.
!
The steam car, like an arrow from a string, finally broke away from the restraints and rushed forward, dragging four horses and raising a towering column of smoke.
In the wilderness of the countryside in Lingzhou, it looks like a demon dragon coming to the world, strange and terrifying!
The steam car only rushed forward about a hundred steps before it suddenly let out a sharp whistle and stopped amidst this whistle.
In the distance, I saw the driver jumping out of the steam car, whispering a few words to the young Forbidden Army soldier who was driving the horse in a hurry, and then running towards Li Er and others...
Only then did Li Er and others come back to their senses, and their minds began to work again.
But this time when they came to their senses, everyone's hearts sank, because this scene... was too tragic.
——The four special challenge horses that everyone looked at earlier as being handsome, handsome, and extremely strong were now being dragged for more than a hundred steps.
Several wide, dark... bright red blood stains were left directly on the school grounds.
The blood flowed so much that the hard ground, which was compacted and impermeable to water, was dyed almost black, with red light gleaming in the black, making it look extremely menacing.
And the four war horses themselves, although still tied with ropes and connected to the steam car, fell to the ground and struggled at this moment...
After a while, the driver of the steam car and the young Forbidden Army soldier driving the horse all ran to Li Er and others.
These four horses still could not stand up. They were obviously dragged for more than a hundred steps on the rammed earth and were seriously injured. It is very likely that from now on, these horses will have no choice but to retire and return to their hometowns.
Leaving the Forbidden Order.
This scene appears...
The hearts of Li Er and others moved slightly with compassion. After all, this war horse had been with them for too long... After many years of war, it was absolutely impossible not to have feelings for this animal.
Even Li Er couldn't help but blush.
but……
As Li Xiaogong and others fell into stunned silence, they looked at each other in shock, and then... they all cast shocked looks at Li Er.
Li Er took a deep breath and his eyes finally calmed down.
I was finally convinced in my heart that the power of this steam car... was not only in line with what Li Sheng said.
Even significantly more!
Completely, higher than my previous expectations!
Although I still feel very sorry for these war horses.
At this moment, a group of generals no longer looked down upon the steam car. Instead, they all looked horrified and kept exchanging glances. Li Xiaogong on the side couldn't help it anymore. He looked at Li Er and asked in fear, "
Your Majesty, when was this 'steam car'...actually made? We didn't know that the Tang Dynasty still had such power..."
"..."
When Li Er heard this, he just shook his head slightly, but remained silent.
Despite Li Xiaogong's question, the other generals and commanders around him turned their heads and looked at Li Er, waiting for Li Er to explain the ins and outs of the steam locomotive project.
But in the end, Li Er said nothing, but his eyes became deeper and deeper...
Then look far away to the south, to the end of the sky.
The generals subconsciously followed Li Er's gaze and looked over, but they could only see the common wilderness in Lingzhou, and could not see anything worth mentioning.
But... Li Xiaogong and others were stunned for a while, but they also understood Li Er's mood.
Li Er is looking in the direction where Li Sheng is!
The look in their eyes at that moment was extremely complicated, and the moods of Li Xiaogong, Li Ji... who were aware of Li Er's mood also became extremely complicated. At this moment, an absolutely forbidden thought appeared in everyone's mind.
, I definitely think that I will be thrown into a prison if I speak out...
It would be great if Li Sheng was the prince...
His talent is higher than that of all living beings in the world, but now he is living at ease on Qiongzhou Island, which is completely different from any other intellectuals in the Tang Dynasty. He sharpened his head and ran to Chang'an. It can be said that his virtue can be revealed by the sun and the moon.
But no one dared to speak out such thoughts, knowing that they must not be expressed openly, otherwise they would harm themselves, and even more so Li Sheng.
But... even though they knew it was a taboo, everyone still couldn't help but think so after thinking about the taboo.
However, Li Er did not keep looking south, but immediately looked north.
This time... Li Er did not remain silent, but slowly spoke.
"I am the Tang Dynasty... no, I am China."
"Since the Shang Dynasty, they have whipped the world and looted rhinoceros horns from the far west - what the Holy King called 'Egypt' to use as sacrifices to ancestors and gods. But later, the general trend of the world changed.
The party with strong soldiers and horses has become someone else, and we, the people of China, have never mastered that kind of power that surpasses all other races."
"For thousands of years, there have been countless civil wars in China. Why? We are still trapped in this corner of the world, unable to make progress, and only then will we fight. Now...the opportunity has finally arrived."
