Chapter 724

In this era, it depends on how to understand the mechanism masters.

The mechanism traps in the tomb are extremely sophisticated. It is not uncommon to hear that Xiao Xian’s people have not found a way to enter for so long.

Emperor Yang of Sui himself knew that sometimes it was not said that he could enter by destruction after finding the tomb, especially the nobles and royal tombs. If it was really demolished randomly, it would cause the mechanisms in the tomb chamber.

I can't take out any of the things inside.

Xiao Xian’s men hadn’t entered for so long, which means that this tomb must have such a mechanism that can destroy the objects inside.

These are nothing to him, because the craftsmen in the Ministry of Works are very professional, and who is more familiar with the construction of mausoleums than the royal family.

Many talents can be recruited by only the royal family.

"It's just a group of waste, and I sent spies to pay close attention to Jiangling's movements."

The court sent troops to Jiangling, and Xiao Xian and Zhang Zhongjian, who received the news, were still thinking of ways to open the tomb. They were a little panicked when they said they were about to fight.

"Xiaocheng Guards. At this time, the imperial court must have sent troops to come for the treasure. Now there seems to be no other choice. Why not destroy this tomb?"

Zhang Zhongjian did not have much expectations for the treasure itself. It is more important to be more important to face the government's troops actively.

Xiao Xian thought, he was really afraid that the things in the tomb would be lost like this, but now he could not make any other choice.

"Okay, someone came to carve the tomb."

Many craftsmen began to attack the stone pier and slashed for three days before they opened the entrance the size of a wooden barrel.

"Send someone in to check it out quickly. If I had known there was no agency, I wouldn't have to waste so many days."

Zhang Zhongjian also looked forward to it when he saw that there was no danger.

The soldiers were very reluctant to go in, but they had no choice, so a few people explored the way first.

After waiting for a long time, no one came out.

Xiao Xian knew that there must be many institutions inside, and a few people were not good enough to let the craftsmen continue to dig for insurance.

A few days later, the entrance and exit expanded, and many soldiers directly entered with logs and other items, stepped on the mechanism, and injured people. When the soldiers equipped the shields, there was no such a big threat.

It took two days to explore the entire mausoleum, and finally found some weapons and other things from the tomb. There were no valuable things.

After a complete exploration, I found that the tombs were newly built in recent years. They should be left to him by Houzhu Chen. However, now people are still under house arrest in Luoyang, and there are no burial objects that come from.

The craftsmen also found that the tomb was not really completely closed, otherwise if they really destroyed it from outside, the things in the tomb would definitely not be left behind.

Because there are interlayers on the roof, the most likely one is to seal enough tinder oil in it. As long as the air is exposed, white phosphorus will be ignited, and the result is needless to say.

Xiao Xian was in a bad mood, what about the promised treasure.

"Xiao Chengshou, since there is no treasure, let's discuss how to defend."

Zhang Zhongjian was very calm and felt that he had some greed, but he had nothing to do. He almost missed the big thing in vain.

Xiao Xian was really unwilling to accept it. If the news was not true, why would so many people still be looking for it?

"Maybe we were in the wrong direction at the beginning. Chen Houzhu's sister must know the whereabouts of the treasure."

"Xiaocheng Guard, let's put the treasures aside first. We have to face the military forces of the court now."

Zhang Zhongjian was helpless. He could understand his persistence with Xiao Xian, but this time was not suitable. It would be useless if the troops were coming to the city in a few days.

After Zhang Zhongjian received the news, he has been preparing to strengthen his defense and prepare for a retreat.

The 200,000 soldiers of the imperial court came to attack the city and came to the city and faced difficulties, so he had already started to stockpile grain since he got the news.

The goods of rice and grain shops in the city can only be in and not out. If necessary, the rice and grain shops will become supply stations for Jiangling soldiers.

It aroused the business people with great resentment, which means that the sheep fell into the tiger's mouth. If the business continues like this, it is simply a way to continue.

If you abandon the goods stocked up in the rice shop, you will be reluctant to leave.

So entangled, the imperial army appeared.

Xiao Xian and Zhang Zhongjian, the good purpose of the imperial court, had already known that the treasure came for the sake of the treasure, after discussion, the location of the treasure could not be described.

I thought the tomb had been opened, and no matter whether there was anything inside or not, no one would believe anything Xiao Xian said.

Instead, it will be considered as finding some excuses, and it will make people envious of them for taking the treasure.

Xiao Xian was very regretful after calming down. Why did greed make him lose his mind? He found that this was a big pit.

No matter who comes in, you will be cheated miserably.

"General Zhang, if we can't compete with each other, then we'll abandon the city." Xiao Xian said.

"After we leave the city, we can go south to the coast to occupy a force. With our military force, our strength will not be worse than Jiangling." Xiao Xian continued.

Zhang Zhongjian already knew Xiao Xian’s plan, and there would be some losses if he left Jiangling, and the victory was that the losses were something they could bear.

"It is not certain whether Xiaocheng Shou wins or loses. He has to fight before he knows."

Zhang Zhongjian dared to say such words were not arrogant but because they were not coming to the cavalry guards, but just the soldiers recruited by the imperial court.

He is very confident in the combat effectiveness of the troops he brought out.

With drum beats, Changsun Sheng's troops arrived at the Jiangling City. Looking from a distance, he would not be able to return to this battle.

Most of the city walls are archers, and there are quite a lot of troops on the city walls, which is a great loss as the siege.

"Order to let people log in to build a ladder."

Changsun Sheng was born in a noble family and had a military strategy provided by his family. He fought thousands of people for hundreds of years. With 200,000 people, he would eventually be able to break the city unless there were more people on the city wall than them.

The ladders made by logging are not "light" ladders. They are made of logging and become rough but thick, which is difficult for people in the city to push them down.

Unless the city wall is particularly high, the angle of the ladder is too large.

Usually, they use materials locally, and when they make ladders, they can also surround the city walls to observe or use this period of time to negotiate.

Changsun Sheng is a patient person. He asked people to make many ladders and want to make use of the number of people.

The troops under the city were preparing, and the people on the city were preparing.

A large number of stones, arrows, spears, etc. were piled up in the aisle on the city wall. The atmosphere was serious and it was very uncomfortable to be surrounded by people in the city.

Zhang Zhongjian stopped when he saw that the stones could not be put down on the city wall, and Lin Wai also prepared a large number of torches.

Although it is not very common to siege the city at night, you must also be prepared.

Zhang Zhongjian had already arranged the important troops, and the soldiers in the city were accurate enough, and he was very confident in the face of the attack of 200,000 troops.
