When Zhang Lin spoke out, Naluo Laowai saw such a luxurious and exquisite lacquer coffin in the city, and thought that there might be some gold, jewelry, and jade artifacts inside.
, he asked his engineers to come forward and start prying the coffin.
Chen Yulou was staring at the dark watchtowers on the city wall. He also felt that something was wrong. His keen intuition felt that there was an extremely dangerous atmosphere in the city.
Although there should have been deathly silence in the ancient tomb, the silence on the enemy's floor was unsettling, especially since before entering, Zhang Lin had said that this city was inaccessible.
Therefore, I felt even more murderous in this ancient city. I couldn't help but be a little lost in thought, and I didn't notice that Luo Laowai had already asked people to pry the coffin.
When the thieves saw that Chen Yulou was silent, no one could stop Luo Laowai.
Those engineers all carry long axes and big shovels. Isn't it easy to pry open some coffins?
When Zhang Lin spoke, they were already wielding mountain axes and starting to smash the lacquered coffins. The sound of banging and banging echoed in the empty underground palace, making people's ear bones buzz and hurt.
Zhang Lin suddenly spoke, and Chen Yulou heard the sound of the coffin being opened again. He was startled and immediately shouted: "Stop! This coffin cannot be moved!"
But when Chen Yulou spoke, it was too late. A group of engineers over there had already opened the coffin.
When Chen Yulou stopped him, he also discovered something was wrong with the lacquered coffins and stone coffins. Because those coffins, coffins, and tomb beds were all empty.
When the engineers opened the coffin, they didn't know what mechanism they touched. They heard a loud bang at the entrance and the "thousand catty gate" hidden in the city wall fell down.
Fortunately, Zhang Lin was prepared in advance. Although the thousand-jin gate cracked the stone pillar Zhang Lin placed at the door, it did not fall to the ground, leaving a gap of half a person's height for people to pass through.
Luo Laowai still didn't understand what was going on, so he asked Chen Yulou what happened?
Blind Chen heard the Broken Dragon Qianjin Gate falling. Fortunately, Zhang Lin prepared in advance and there was still a way to retreat. He immediately explained to Luo Laowai and ordered everyone to retreat.
Upon hearing this, the group of thieves rushed towards the exit one after another.
Seeing this, Zhang Lin snatched the revolver from Luo Laowai's hand and fired three shots in the air.
The group of thieves were in a chaotic mess, and when they suddenly heard the sound of gunshots, they all stopped and looked towards Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin used a gun to intimidate the group of thieves and said: "If you form a formation and retreat, whoever is running around will be killed by me!"
Amidst the conversation, Chen Yulou also heard the sound of weapons in the watchtower, and the sounds of bows and strings on the surrounding walls were extremely dense.
He didn't know if it was the engineers in the city who smashed and pried the coffins, and the thousand-jin gate that cut off the way came crashing down. He could only hear the sound of the water-price mechanism on the enemy tower in Wengcheng, and the sudden tightening of the strings on the dark city walls all around.
.
After hearing what Zhang Lin said, seeing that the bandits were still looking at each other, he immediately said: "We are all deaf. If you want to survive, just listen to the Taoist leader and retreat in formation."
When the thieves saw Chen Yulou's order, they immediately gathered together and formed a square formation. They also erected rattan signs around the square formation. Those inside the formation held their rattan shields above their heads to block the attack. They slowly pushed towards the city gate as if they were coming in.
It is very common for the mechanisms in ancient tombs to be exposed to fire and poisonous smoke. The equipment for unloading the tomb, whether it was a ladder or a shield, was soaked in potion to prevent fire and fire. The formation was immediately tightened to protect it airtight.
Luo Laowai led a few engineers to leave the phalanx. They saw a group of thieves put up shields to protect the formation like an iron barrel, and heard the sound of the machine at the top of the city. They knew something was wrong.
He fled towards the formation like flying.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou had no choice but to order the thieves to stop and wait for them to come over.
Almost at the same time, random arrows were shot down from the four walls.
Locusts rained down upon the sky, and a few engineers were a little slow on their feet, and were shot to the ground on the spot.
After all, Luo Laowai was a figure who crawled out from among the dead. Seeing that the situation was not going well, he burrowed into the cracks among the people, using his brothers as living shields, and finally struggled to escape back to the four gates of the Xiling group of thieves.
In the shield array at the bottom of the pocket, not a single hair was injured.
Chen Yulou was protected by a group of thieves in the middle. He heard arrows shooting out like rain all around, hitting the shields and falling off one after another.
Although the arrow clusters were old, their power was still astonishing. He secretly felt lucky that Zhang Lin had the foresight, otherwise he didn't know whether the weapons of the Xiling group of thieves could withstand the exhaustion of the arrows on the city.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I had these lucky thoughts, I felt burning. It turned out that some arrows contained fire phosphorus, which would burn in the wind. There were also a lot of fire oil and fish paste hidden in the piles of bones on the ground, which immediately caused a huge fire.
Like a city burning with flames.
The group of thieves were caught in the sea of ​​​​fire, and their formation was in chaos. Chen Yulou hurriedly asked the brothers outside to block the random arrows. The ones inside hung centipedes on the mountain ladder to reach out, pushed away the bones around everyone, and pushed the wall of fire away. He also asked everyone to slow down.
Retreat to the city gate.
And with just such a slight chaos, gaps in the shield formation were exposed. Immediately, several thieves were injured by arrows. The sharp clusters were barbed, and they could not be pulled out after they were inserted into the flesh. They screamed in pain like killing pigs.
Although the Xiling group of thieves pushed the nearby skeletons away, fire was still burning under their feet. Only when they took a look did they realize that there were flammable oil bricks buried underground.
Although the kerosene in the oil bricks has evaporated a lot and the burning momentum is not strong, it still burned the soles of the thieves' feet to black. Seeing this, Chen Yulou cursed: "Yuan Gou is so vicious, he really wants to drive us all away!"
"
Seeing that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, it was so scorching that it was difficult for everyone to even breathe, as if ashes were about to come out of their throats.
The shield array slowly moved towards the city gate, but the bandits felt that the distance was like a natural chasm.
A few couldn't bear it any longer and ran away with their shields in hand.
As soon as Ran stepped out of the shield formation, he was immediately pinned to the ground by arrows from all directions. The other bandits saw this and had no choice but to follow the group's actions.
Seeing that they were still far away from the city gate, Chen Yulou felt anxious, so he had to ask Zhang Lin for help: "Taoist Master, think of a way, otherwise we may not be shot to death, but we will be roasted."
Hearing this, Zhang Lin nodded and said, "Leave me an opening on both sides."
Before Chen Yulou could speak after hearing this, Luo Laowai hurriedly cursed: "His grandma is a bit deaf, why don't you hurry up and leave a safe place for the living gods to survive?"
At this time, it was a matter of life and death for everyone, so the thieves didn't care who ordered it, and immediately raised the shield array diagonally, widening the gap between the vertical array and the top array, just enough to create a living hole.
When Zhang Lin saw this, without saying a word, he took Luo Laowai's hand and made a big gash in his hand with his iron sword.
Luo Laowai was so painful that he wanted to curse. Before he could say anything, he saw a handful of talismans appearing in Zhang Lin's hand. He splashed it into Luo Laowai's hand, and then the talismans flew without wind and drifted along the living mouth.
go out.
It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
Those who saw Zhang Lin's actions were still confused, but Zhang Lin pulled Luo Laowai, pushed away the group of thieves standing in the direction of the city gate, and ran out of the shield formation, shouting loudly: "Put your shields above your heads and run!
"
Everyone was puzzled, but they still obeyed the order, raised their shields above their heads, and headed towards the city gate.
When they arrived at the city gate and once again formed a formation to protect one side, everyone saw that at some point, a corridor made of huge stones appeared out of thin air in the ancient tomb.
The arrows in the city kept shooting at it, and there was only a tinkling sound.
When everyone saw it, they were all confused. Where did this huge boulder come from? The Yuanren mechanism was set on fire and burned, buried alive in quicksand, the boulder shattered bones, and was eaten by rotting poison. How could there be any mercy in this? The Taoist priest just threw it
The talisman paper came out. Could it be those talisman papers?
Yes, the Taoist priest-like figure was definitely obtained from those talismans.
The group of thieves set up their shields and leaned against the city gate, looking at the city with arrows flying like locusts and fire like the sea, all blocked by the huge stone, and they were all more in awe of Zhang Lin.
Chen Yulou had known Zhang Lin's ability, and when he saw that the thieves actually wanted to look back, he couldn't help scolding the thieves: "We are on the run, why are we still staying? Don't want to die? Why don't you get out quickly?"
When the thieves heard this, they woke up from a dream and quickly crawled out through the gap under the huge gate.
Huamaguai and three or five groups of thieves were there to meet him.
As soon as he saw the Thousand Jin Gate falling, he wanted to go in and save people, but the city was flying like locusts and the fire was like a sea. It was useless for him to bring more people in. He had already ordered other thieves to get sand from the spot and use the sand to cover the sea of ​​fire on the ground.
Therefore, there was no fire burning at the city gate.
The group of thieves escaped from the door and stood outside the door, watching the arrows in the city as if they were endless.
Chen Yulou watched for a while and counted the number of people. In just a short while, three or five more good players were lost, and Luo Shuai lost more than ten.
Chen Yulou was deeply shocked, and thought again: If there is no Taoist priest this time, I am afraid that Luo Shuai and I will be trapped by that Yuan man today.
The tomb passage in the bottle mountain gate leads directly to this trap-like urn city. If the tomb robbers dug here by using oxen and horses, it would be difficult for them to do it without a large team of people.
It seems that the Yuan people had a plan a long time ago and turned the city gate that protected the Immortal Palace into a virtual tomb, cutting off the passage connecting to the real tomb.
The original mechanism was used and modified, and it became a ghost army protecting the mausoleum, in order to catch all the thieves who dared to come in and fight.
Although the wooden crossbows on the city wall are dead objects, they can be moved with the help of the power provided by the mercury wells and the force of the mechanical buckle. Once the crossbows are used up, there are wooden men carrying arrows to load, and there is no one who knows the storage on the city.
How many arrows were fired and how long did it take to repair? The fire in the city was raging. It turned out to be an insidious trap of false tombs. If it hadn't been for the Taoist priest's foresight, it would have been difficult to survive today. Thinking of this, Chen Yulou arranged his clothes and led the group of thieves.
He walked up to Zhang Lin and bowed solemnly: "Chen Yulou, the leader of Xiling, here represents everyone in Xiling. Marshal Luo thanks the Taoist leader for saving his life!"
The group of thieves also followed suit and said, "We thank the Taoist Master for saving our lives."
Seeing this, Zhang Lin said: "If you want to thank me, buy a few more talismans and take care of my business, Taoist Master. This place is dangerous. I think it was the tomb used by the Yuan people to deal with the group of tomb robbers. It's better for us to leave first."
.”
Chen Yulou and everyone heard what they said, and they all made sense. It was indeed difficult to stay here for a long time, so under Chen Yulou's command, they quickly exited the tomb passage.
Chen Yulou, who was standing behind, saw that Luo Laowai was unconscious, being supported by several engineers and falling behind. He was a little confused, did Luo Laowai touch something in the coffin, and how did he faint?
Luo Laowai has tens of thousands of people under his command, and there are thousands of people coming on this trip. If there are two shortcomings, it would be a big deal.
So Chen Yulou said to Zhang Lin: "Taoist Priest, I don't know what uncle Luo Laowai touched in the coffin. After he got out, I asked Taoist Priest to use your means to save him. Otherwise, if he has something wrong with him, his men will mutiny."
