Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 322 Something's Wrong! (4000)

The terrain here is not complicated, but not regular.

It feels like this should be a relatively grand underground cave, but the ground has been artificially trimmed, and the gate is installed and it is directly activated.

As for the "Linchong Lv Bus" just now, it was obviously not brought in through the bronze gate.

Instead, the materials were scattered and brought in first, and then assembled in this underground palace, because the bronze gate was simply not enough for the "Linchong Lv Bus" to pass through.

Continuing to explore like this, Wu Liang and the others soon saw new large equipment.

This is also a chariot equipped with six wheels. The wheels together support a large wooden bed, and above the wooden bed is a large ladder made of pillars that is more than ten meters high.

There is also a movable small ladder on the ladder, and two metal hooks are installed at the end of the small ladder.

This should be the legendary "ladder".

In fact, such things as "ladders" have not been lost, and such siege equipment has been indispensable in all wars of all dynasties.

But as far as Wu Liang knew, Boss Cao and the others were not using such a "ladder" to fight, but a simple long ladder made purely of bamboo.

Whenever the city was attacked, a soldier like him would carry a simple ladder and carry defensive means such as arrows and stones to rush to the bottom of the city wall, and then put such a simple long ladder on the city wall, and then Hold the long ladder at the bottom and wait for the soldiers behind to step on their shoulders and the long ladder to climb up.

This is definitely a near-death event. Even if Wu Liang has not experienced it himself, he has already experienced it through the memories of "talented brother" after time travel.

So Wu Liang also understood the cruelty of war very well.

One will be a million bones.

Whether as a general or as a soldier, he will never go to the battlefield.

If Boss Cao put a knife on his neck to force him, then Boss Cao would definitely regret it...

anyway.

The "ladder" in front of me has many similarities with the ladders used by the Tang Dynasty army in historical records, and there may be some connections between the two.

But let Wu Liang speak.

The functions of "Ladder" and "Linchong Lu Bus" actually overlap somewhat.

Undoubtedly, the "Linchong Lu Bus" should be regarded as an upgraded version of the "Ladder". With a long-range attack weapon, it becomes a mobile combat vehicle with a weapon system.

The disadvantage is that the manpower and material resources required to manufacture the "Linchong Lv Bus" are far more than that of the "Ladder", and it is relatively restricted by the terrain, so whether it can be put into the battlefield depends on the situation.

As the saying goes, "a layman watches the excitement, an insider watches the way."

When Wu Liang, a layman, came here, it was like entering a museum of ancient military equipment. Needless to say, he felt astonished in his heart, but he really only knew a little about the more specific craftsmanship and structure. If he wanted to perfectly replicate , Even to improve on this basis, we still have to wait for Sun Ye to draw the blueprint first.

In this way, I walked around the "ladder" to watch the flowers and observe the flowers.

"Let's go."

Wu Liang glanced at the three accompanying people and planned to move on.

At this time, Dian Wei, who had been in charge of guarding all the time, frowned slightly, and said vigilantly: "My lord, Wei always feels that something is watching us, but after standing here for a long time, he didn't notice anything unusual. I don't know if it was caused by Wei's illusion."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang felt a chill in his heart.

Yu Ji and Bai Jingjing also subconsciously moved closer to Wu Liang and Dian Wei, obviously a little nervous in their hearts.

"When did you start feeling this way?"

Wu Liang looked around, but found nothing out of the ordinary, so he could only ask.

Dian Wei is different from Yu Ji.

He belongs to the kind of tough guy who is not afraid of anything. If he didn't really feel something, he would never say such alarmist words easily and affect the morale of the big guy.

"It was just a while after we separated from Yang Wanli and Zhuge Liang. I don't know what happened. Wei soon became inexplicably restless. I always felt that a pair of eyes in the dark were watching us, ready to move."

Dian Wei said seriously.

"Um……"

Wu Liang nodded and let out a murmur.

It is not the first day he has known Dian Wei. Although he has extraordinary powers and amazing martial arts skills, he has no other special abilities, especially this kind of psychological sensing ability that can perceive danger in advance. How dangerous it is, it's impossible not to show it at all.

It was also because of this that Wu Liangcai felt unable to explain.

A person who is fearless and has no special abilities suddenly begins to feel restless for no reason. Is this an intuition that future generations cannot make a reasonable explanation for?

Or, more formally, a "sixth sense."

But should this inexplicable "sixth sense" be believed?
Or should you not believe it?

Wu Liang didn't make it very clear. Sometimes people should trust their intuition, but sometimes they shouldn't. In the end, it's up to them to decide.

"If no direct evidence is found, it may just be your illusion."

Wu Liang still had no idea, as if he was talking to Dian Wei, or to himself, "But anything can happen in the tomb, so be careful, and if you find anything unusual, report it to me immediately. Use your own judgment."

"promise."

Dian Wei responded, took off the other engineering shovel, and entered the state of a dual-wielding berserker. Obviously Wu Liang's words did not completely reassure him. This feeling still exists, and may even become stronger...

……

Go forward again.

Wu Liang and the others encountered several corpses carrying chisels and tools.

These corpses also fell to the ground in a mess, and the cause of death was finally a little different.

Two of the corpses were decapitated from top to bottom, and the other three corpses were quite complete. There was no obvious damage on the bones, and there was no sign of poisoning, as if they died without a disease.

But Wu Liang is clear.

"Died without a disease" is impossible. These three corpses must have died here suddenly, but died of a certain way of death that cannot be seen through the only remaining bones.

In other words.

In addition to the "headshot monster", there may be other unknown fatal factors.

The unknown is undoubtedly the hardest thing to guard against...

"Everyone, from now on, in addition to guarding against the top of the head, you must pay more attention to other things."

Wu Liang had no choice but to warn the three of them in advance.

"clear."

The crowd nodded.

It can be seen that the expressions on everyone's faces gradually became dignified, and they were a little nervous.

So cautiously moved forward for a while.

A huge crossbow also placed on a four-legged wooden bed appeared in front of everyone.

To be precise, it should be three huge crossbows with a width of one foot.

It's just that the three big bows were merged together and placed one on top of the other on the four-legged wooden bed. There were three arrow grooves on the crossbow arms, and three spears were placed in the arrow grooves, which were longer than ordinary spears. A huge arrow about the thickness of an adult's arm.

The head of this huge arrow is made of metal, and even the arrow feathers are made of iron, which looks extremely powerful.

And behind this huge crossbow, there is also a round shaft similar to a winch, and a strong hemp rope is wound around the round shaft...

"Three-bow crossbow?"

Wu Liang's eyes lit up again.

The only thing he could think of that was similar to this thing was the "three-bow bed crossbow" that only appeared in the Song Dynasty.

This kind of crossbow can already be called a "ballista". This kind of composite crossbow is an early composite crossbow. Inside the city walls, siege soldiers can also climb up with the help of these arrows inserted into the city walls.

And if this object is placed on the city wall for defense, apart from the armored vehicles of the later generations whose materials and thickness are astonishing, there is almost nothing that can resist it these days.

It is also because of this that the force required to pull this kind of ballista is also amazing.

That's why it is necessary to install the "winch" behind the crossbow.

It is a kind of labor-saving pulley, which can reduce the manpower required to launch the "three-bow bed crossbow" to a certain extent.

Another war tool that only appeared in the Song Dynasty in history, unexpectedly appeared in this underground palace in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods...

Wu Liang even had some doubts.

This underground palace was finally stolen by someone in the Song Dynasty, so the "Linchong Lu Gongche" and "Three Bow Bed Crossbows" appeared in the world, and this underground palace may have been destroyed at that time.

Anyway, the archaeological world of later generations must have not discovered and excavated this public transportation tomb, otherwise this will definitely be the biggest news in the modern archaeological world of later generations.

The gold found in the "Haihunhou Tomb", the "Sanxingdui" where the latest archaeological discoveries continue to emerge, and the "Mawangdui" where a thousand-year-old female corpse was found, are in front of these "Gongshu Tombs" that store a large number of finished war equipment. , There is really a feeling of "playing around with others".

Besides.

As far as Wu Liang knows, the version of "Book of Lu Ban" discovered by later generations was also a product of the Song Dynasty...

There are too many coincidences, and I am afraid it may not be a coincidence.

When thinking about it like this.

"careful!"

For some reason, Bai Jingjing suddenly let out a cry of alarm, and then rushed towards Wu Liang without thinking about herself.

"Pfft!"

Accompanied by a sound.

Wu Liang was unprepared, and was directly thrown to the ground by Bai Jingjing, with skin scratches on his elbows, and a burning pain followed.

"?!"

Seeing this situation, Yu Ji also twitched his cheeks and fell to the ground.

But Dian Wei jumped in front of Wu Liang with a wrong step, his two engineering shovels were tightly gripped, and a pair of tiger eyes turned quickly to check the surrounding situation.

However waited a moment.

But nothing happened...

"hiss……"

Wu Liang didn't have time to feel the tenderness in his arms, and while groaning in pain, he asked with a surprised face: "Jingjing, what's going on? What did you find, why did you throw me down all of a sudden?"

Bai Jingjing was lying on Wu Liang's body before, and while hugging him tightly, her eyes were also tightly closed, and her eyelashes kept trembling slightly.

Now that she heard Wu Liang's voice, she finally opened her eyes.

Then he checked Wu Liang's body with great concern, and checked himself again, and then he let out a long breath and said, "I... I saw that big crossbow was facing you, and it was faintly going to you. Come here, if you are shot by this big crossbow, you will definitely die, and in a hurry, I have no choice but to throw you down."

"?"

Wu Liang was dumbfounded.

Dian Wei and Yu Ji also had similar expressions.

The arrows of the "Three Bows and Bed Crossbows" are indeed aimed at Wu Liang, but where do we start with "we are going to shoot at you faintly", and where do we start with "in a hurry"?
After a moment of silence, Wu Liang twisted his body, and said helplessly, "Jingjing, why don't you get up first, so I can check it out?"

"Oh……"

It was only then that Bai Jingjing realized that her current state was somewhat indecent, so she quickly stood up blushing.

Wu Liang also rubbed his arms and got up and went to the "Three Bow Bed Crossbow" to check carefully.

Now the bow strings on the "Three Bow Bed Crossbow" have lost all their elasticity, and they are broken and drooping on the ground. Even the hemp rope on the "winch" at the back is rotten and will shatter if touched lightly.

Besides.

There is no trace of any automatic mechanism on it.

Not to mention that there is no one operating the "Three-Bow Bed Crossbow" at all, even if someone operates it, it is absolutely impossible for the "Three-Bow Bed Crossbow" in this state to shoot arrows.

and so.

Why did Bai Jingjing suddenly feel that the "Three Bow Bed Crossbow" was about to shoot at him?
"Jingjing, based on what circumstances do you think I will be shot to death by this big crossbow?"

Wu Liang asked a little puzzled.

"Well, you Wu Youcai, do you still have a conscience!"

Bai Jingjing also checked the situation of the "Three Bow Bed Crossbow" with him, and when she heard this, she immediately opened a pair of almond eyes and angrily said, "I gave my life to save you, but you come to question me, what are you doing?" Attitude? Is it wrong for me to save you?"

"I was very moved by your act of giving your life to save me just now. I promise that I will remember this incident for the rest of my life. I must always remind myself after dinner and before going to bed. There was a woman who gave her life to save me. There is absolutely no one in the world. Can take her place in my heart."

Wu Liang had no choice but to be patient, and changed to a more accurate questioning method that also fits the female brain circuit, "So, I am definitely not questioning you, I just want to ask clearly, what exactly did you perceive just now, and judge me at that time? I will be shot to death by this big crossbow, so I will risk my life to save me."

He vaguely felt that something was not normal.

First, Dian Wei, who is usually calm and brave, always feels that something is watching them in the dark, and then Bai Jingjing, who has extraordinary hearing, suddenly thinks that he is about to be shot to death by the "Three Bow Bed Crossbow" and that he must pounce on him when he arrives. the urgency of rescue.

Neither of these things is credible, or even entirely tenable.

That is to say, their judgments all come from subjective, that is, their own intuition... Especially the matter of Bai Jingjing, it can already prove that her intuition just now was wrong.

Looking at it this way, both of them don't seem quite right...
