The setting sun passed over the steep rocks of Wunv Mountain, and from the narrow gaps in the rocks, it sprinkled the last ray of afterglow on the rushing surface of the Hunjiang River, making thousands of scattered gold jumps.
There is a long string of pointed-toe cowhide boot prints on the beach. At the end of the boot prints is a long figure under the backlit sunset. The black figure is wandering by the river, floating in the light, and thousands of luxurious gold sprinkles on the black shadow.
On the long white cloak, the black shadow melts into the sun. The mountains are cold and the water is thin, and the forests are dense and the grass is abundant. The naked rocks on the top of Wunv Mountain are like cliffs. The cliffs surround the mountain, and a castle rises on the top of the mountain. The river fog gradually fades.
Up, the castle seems to be in the sky.
The sturdy black figure suddenly kowtowed to the ground three times, raised his hands high, and let out a long whistle in his deep throat. The whistle echoed in the valley, and climbed to the top of the mountain with the rising river mist, waking up the people living in the crevices of the rocks.
The mountain eagle flutters its wings and circles in the fog.
The man's name was Baqi, and he was a pretentious man. He often claimed that he was the son of the Sun God and the grandson of the Hebo God. He stood in the sunset on the river beach and looked at Wunv Mountain. He felt that his ancestors had given him a revelation in an instant.
Thanking God for the gift, I couldn't help but kowtow to the ground three times and let out a loud roar.
After Baqi paid his respects, he got up and returned to the city. He quickly returned to the city from the east side of the city.
Heshenggu City looks like a boot no matter how you look at it. The main peak rises abruptly on the mountainside. The broken cliffs are cut with knives and axes, like the shaft of a boot. The soles of the boots stretch wildly into the sky. When viewed from a high altitude, the north and south ends face to the east.
Protruding and concave in the middle, a clear footprint is imprinted on this northeastern land.
The city wall of Heshenggu City is made up of nature and man. One side is a natural wall, which uses the steep cliffs or raised ridges in the mountains as a barrier. It is divided into two types: cliff wall and ridge wall. The other side is an artificial wall made of stone.
The outer wall of the wall is built with large stone strips as a foundation, and wedge-shaped stones are stacked layer by layer on top. The wedge-shaped stones are stacked at staggered joints inside the wall, interlocking with the outer wall, and forming an ingenious mechanical restriction relationship between the stones.
A city must have a gate. The city must be secure and the gate must be accessible. Heshenggu City has three gates. The west gate is located in the southwest corner of the mountain city and is about 2 meters wide. On the north side are the city wall stacks paved with wedge-shaped stones. On the south side are cliffs.
, facing the deep valley, a winding path looks like ancient vines clinging to the rock.
, hanging from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley, the mountains and mist appear and disappear from time to time. Even if there are thousands of troops, if you want to break the city, you can only go up along the trail one by one. The south gate has become a dangerous pass.
"Don't open it" is not a lie at this point. Natural danger can help people, but it cannot be done by human power.
The east gate was built between the two walls, with only a gap. The gate no longer exists, and its remains are scattered among the mosses. The two gates are located in the west of the main peak, built at the upper mouth of a valley. The valley is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, with cliffs on both sides.
Standing on the wall, the door takes advantage of the mountain and is a natural pass. The doorway is 3 meters wide and there are still some
Door steps, pivot stone, two guard rooms on the left and right inside the door, the gap between the door and the cliff is sealed with wedge-shaped stones. Three gates and three potentials, purely natural, half human and half natural, purely artificial, relying on the mountain to resist danger, and using cold weapons
The age, position and solidity of doors and walls determine the defensive capabilities of a mountain city.
The city walls of Heshenggu City are hidden in the sparse oak forest. The moss on the city walls has become mottled brown, like the old man's hair on the face of a farmer who has gone through vicissitudes of life. The fallen leaves are whirling on the patrol road around the mountain, and the wind blows, making a rustling sound as they fall.
In the valley, the misty mist in the valley supports the pale sky and a solemn and vast artistic conception.
The world is silent, the ancient wind is lingering, and at the foot of Jimu Mountain, Baqi stands on the west gate tower, overlooking this beautiful mountain. He has never been able to figure out in his mind why the second generation king of Goguryeo, King Ryurimyeong, moved the capital to Wandu City.
In his heart, only this Heshenggu City is the most perfect and safest city.
As the sun set and twilight fell, on the way up the mountain, Ba Qi saw a young man wearing white tiger skin, walking vigorously towards Heshenggu City.
The soldiers guarding the city had already set up their bows and arrows, and after seeing the face of the incoming man clearly, they opened their bows and fired.
"Oh, it's Bai Yu who's back. Don't panic. Open the city gate quickly and let him in." Ba Qi then said to the soldiers with a smile.
After the city gate was opened, Bai Yu entered Heshenggu City alone. After seeing Ba Qi, he bowed forward and said loudly: "Your Highness, Bai Yu is fortunate to have fulfilled his destiny and finally returned."
Ba Qi smiled, took Bai Yu's hand, pulled Bai Yu up, and asked: "It's been a month since you left. During this month, I missed you so much. Have you ever found
Any trace of the eye-catching white tiger?”
Bai Yu said: "Your Majesty, Bai Yu has found it and led the white tiger to this area, in the woods at the foot of the mountain."
Ba Qi seemed very happy, but his smile disappeared fleetingly, and then he asked: "Have you ever seen the corpses of Han soldiers?"
"I saw it. There were corpses everywhere. There were about 4,000 people. They were all bitten to death by the poisonous snakes in the Black Dragon Pool. However, the person who raised the poisonous snakes seems to have died." Bai Yu lived in Goguryeo during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
He quickly adapted to the place and met Baqi by chance. Baqi wanted to know what the people in the Central Plains were doing, so he kept Bai Yu by his side and often took him in and out, so he could go in and out freely.
Shenggu City.
Ba Qi waved his hand and said: "With one man's life in exchange for the lives of more than 4,000 Han soldiers, his death is considered worthy. But, have you ever seen other Han soldiers?"
"Except for the dead, no one was seen. The Han army seemed to have retreated in embarrassment. Just imagine, who can withstand the poisonous snakes of the Black Dragon Pond without dying?" Bai Yu said.
Ba Qi was very satisfied with Bai Yu, because Bai Yu would get him whatever prey he wanted, but he was very interested in the eye-catching white tiger. He wanted to shoot it himself, so he gave Bai Yu a month's money to go into the mountains to look for it.
At this time, he heard that the Han army had retreated, and the White Tiger with Diaoyu had also been found. He looked very happy, so he hugged Bai Yu in his arms, laughed and said to the people behind him:
"Go down with the order, assemble the team, and come down the mountain with me to hunt."
"Your Highness, it's almost dark now. If you go down the mountain at this time, you may encounter some poisonous insects and beasts..." The host, Booker, hurriedly tried to persuade him.
Ba Qi said: "There is nothing to worry about. I am not here. The Dazzling White Tiger needs a lot of manpower. The remaining 27,000 people can be mobilized for me. Follow me down the mountain and form a circle around them."
Only then is real hunting possible.”
However, people also knew Baqi's temper and knew that it was difficult to dissuade him, but he couldn't do it without persuading him, so he hurriedly said to Baqi: "Your Highness, why don't you ask the shaman to figure it out?"
Ba Qi said: "Okay, please invite the shaman!"
The shaman was quickly invited, but Bai Yu was neither curious nor worried. To him, the shaman was just a faggot who would only do things according to Baqi's wishes.
As soon as the shaman arrived, he walked to Baki first. He wore a mask and held two handbells in his hands, and asked directly: "Is there something wrong with Prince Bachi?"
Ba Qi said happily: "Shaman, please do the math for me. Now I want to go down the mountain to hunt and hunt the eye-catching white tiger that I dream of. I don't know if I can go?"
The shaman turned a blind eye. Seeing that Baki was very excited, he already understood the meaning, so he started to dance to the great master. He also recited some unintelligible words plausibly in his mouth, and danced the handbell in his hand.
He started to jump up and down. At the same time, his men also started to help out, jumping up in a pretense, and surrounding the shaman, stepping back and forth on the fire, and some of them breathed fire.
"You're obviously a sideshow. He became a shaman when he came here, and secretly instructed Ba Qi to do some bad things. After Heshenggu City is captured, I will be the first to kill you." Bai
Yu looked on from the side and said silently in his heart.
The shaman danced for a long time, and he was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He then said slowly: "It is God's will that the eye-catching white tiger is in the forest at the foot of the mountain. The prince can just go and catch that evil beast.
"
When Ba Qi heard this, he became energetic and immediately ordered: "Go down and gather 26,000 people. I want to hunt at night!"
After hearing this, Ranren hurriedly dissuaded him and said: "Your Highness, there are a total of 27,000 people in Heshenggu City. Your Highness took away 26,000 people at once, just in case..."
"Bold man, this is the will of the gods. Do you want to disobey the will of the gods? Don't forget, His Royal Highness is the son of the Sun God!" the shaman immediately shouted.
Ranren hesitated and said: "I dare not, please forgive me, Prince!"
Ba Qi was so focused on hunting that he couldn't care about these things. He pulled Bai Yu aside and said happily: "You lead the way. If you can catch the eye-catching white tiger this time, I will appoint you as the chief bookkeeper."
Ran Ren is too ignorant, and the shaman also has a problem with Ran Ren. When I come back, I will definitely execute him in the name of God."
Bai Yu said: "Prince Shengming."
The Goguryeo people quickly gathered together. This time they went hunting. Each of them only brought a bow and a pot of arrows, and nothing else. They naturally had their own tricks for rounding up prey.
As night fell, the troops in Heshenggu City, led by Ba Qi and Bai Yu, held torches and strode down the mountain.
In the night, deep in the dense forest, Gao Fei and others hiding there had already seen the fire dragon clearly. Not only was he shocked by it, but he never thought that this boy Bachi was so crazy about hunting.
It takes so many people to set up a circle.
Looking at the long line of fire dragons, Gao Fei's heart became happy and he said calmly: "During the day you let poisonous snakes bite us, this time I will let you taste the taste of being bitten by poisonous snakes. Huang Zhong, everyone is ready."
Are you ready?"
Huang Zhong nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, everyone is ready. As soon as Baqi arrives, the show will begin immediately."
After everyone heard this, they all felt a smile of joy in their hearts...
