Chapter 287 Chu Xing Adventures (4)
Outside the thatched hut, savage men wearing animal skins were running around in scattered areas. Behind them, hundreds of blood-colored iron armored heavy cavalry roared. The heavy cavalry, which was originally a cone-shaped formation, suddenly changed after entering the village. The torrent of steel immediately dispersed into several strands and rushed in from all directions.
In the middle, I took the lead in the ride, with silver helmet and silver armor, and the silver spear in my hand was like lightning. The savages who fell behind were poked down one by one.
When the silver-armored general ran past the thatched hut where Le Chen and Xue Die were hiding, Le Chen was slightly stunned. Under the heavy helmet of the silver-armored general, only a pair of clear eyes were revealed, but it could be seen that he was a female general.
Every few minutes, the savages who fled into the village were slaughtered, and the heavy cavalry army roared away. Only the blood in the air and the bodies of savage people all over the ground showed what had just happened here.
Le Chen breathed a long breath. If such killings were in his eyes before, in his eyes, he would have been a child. He would have conveyed one order, which might have been the destruction of hundreds of thousands or millions of creatures. But just now he had a cold sweat, for fear of being discovered by these heavy cavalrymen. Compared with these barbarians, he is now powerless. As for the snow butterfly that can protect him, he was naturally not used to such thoughts at the first time.
"There are more than 3,000 meters in the south, and there are continuous stone walls built beside the mountains!" Xuedie was still focused, and his light brain was naturally working hard to survey and map. Now, the surrounding area has been explored for dozens of miles.
Le Chen nodded slightly: "Great Wall!"
"It should be." Xue Die nodded. In the ancient history of the parent star Parenard, there are also cases of civilized races building the Great Wall to resist foreign invasions. It is not surprising.
Le Chen thought for a while and said, "Then, the territory of the Chu people is south of the Great Wall. We should first find a way to cross the Great Wall and reach the territory of the Chu people. I will find a way to figure out what happened."
"Okay." Xuedie had no objection.
...
At the foot of the dense forest, Le Chen was panting heavily, feeling his throat sweet and he was about to vomit blood.
Xuedie led the green cow and walked beside him, but her face was relaxed.
To cross the Great Wall, we naturally cannot pass through the pass where the Chu soldiers were stationed. Therefore, these more than 5,000 meters are almost all mountain roads. Now we have just walked less than half of it. Looking at the steep mountain peaks ahead, Le Chen felt like he was about to collapse.
"Shuai Ye, I will carry you on my back..." Xue Die carefully proposed.
In fact, Xue Die has said it several times, and also said that she will temporarily wear her gravity balance system for Le Chen. Although Xue Die's high-end product is a high-end product, to some extent, it is already in line with its optical brain assist system, but it is separated and worn by Le Chen. As long as Xue Die adjusts the gravity data and sets it as the basic mode, Le Chen can also benefit.
But Xue Die's proposal was rejected by Le Chen.
"Or, you, do you use the gravity balancer?" Xue Die secretly glanced at Le Chen's face.
Looking at the steep wall standing in front of him, Le Chen finally shook his head helplessly, "Okay, you carry me on your back." Xuedie's gravity balancer has been fused with its light and brain, and now forcibly split it is really a waste of its functions.
Listening to Lechen's reply, Xue Die was overjoyed and hurriedly came to Lechen and squatted down his delicate body very quickly.
Le Chen smiled bitterly, but if you want to save face, you can only suffer a lot. You can only stick it to it helplessly. It was a little bit disgusting.
Although Xue Die was wearing a protective suit and was also condensed by the protective layer of holographic particles, Le Chen could not touch Xue Die's body, but lying on Xue Die's delicate body, Le Chen's nose was fragrant, and his body trembled, as if he could feel how soft and delicate Xue Die's delicate body was. Le Chen felt that he had gradually become a stove, and he couldn't help but want to get closer to Xue Die more intimately. In desperation, he could only try his best to think about the tragic ending of his ability completely missing. In this way, he barely suppressed his distraction.
In front, on the continuous mountain peaks, the long stone city wall gradually showed its outline.
...
The towering castle made of huge rocks stands among the mountains, and the endless stream of caravans and pedestrians appear extremely small in front of it.
This is Beining City, a major military city in the northern part of the Chu Kingdom. It is only a dozen miles away from the nearest Great Wall Pass and is at the same time as several passes. When the Great Wall Pass encounters attacks by barbarians, the heavy troops stationed in Beining City can arrive at the battlefield for support in an instant.
Nearly 100,000 elite troops in the Shenji Camp, Wuwei Camp and the Shanxing Camp have accumulated nearly 100,000 elite troops. Since the fall of the towns outside the Pass, the Great Wall Pass and the Beining City behind them have become the front line to resist barbarian invasions.
In fact, the land under Beining City is fertile and more abundant in tea and medicinal materials. It is the northern trade center. Now the Chu Kingdom is experiencing the industrial revolution. Beining City has abundant coal and iron resources. It is the initiator of the industrial revolution. Various machine workshops have emerged like mushrooms after a rain. In a sense, it is the industrial manufacturing center of the Chu Kingdom. Therefore, although it is adjacent to the northern border, it is extremely prosperous, with hundreds of thousands of citizens and peddlers living in the city.
Nowadays, Le Chen and Xue Lian, who were hiding in a caravan, are standing in front of the suspension bridge of the towering fortress in Beining City.
From the mouths of merchants in the caravan who seemed to know everything from all over the world, Le Chen and Xue Die had a rough understanding of Beining City. At this moment, standing under the city wall, watching the merchants in front of him being investigated by the guards in front of the city gate, Le Chen frowned slightly.
"Haha, brother, this is your first time here, but don't be nervous. The law just issued by the cabinet encourages free trade and labor migration. It is just that Beining City has to investigate the safety of the kingdom, so it is natural to investigate it."
Walking side by side with Lechen was a chubby and round-faced businessman. His surname was Jia, and others called him Boss Jia. He was the most enthusiastic in the caravan, and He Lechen was the best at talking about it. There was a lot of information Lechen heard from him in his chat.
Le Chen nodded slightly. This world has similarities with the earth and is also significantly different. Steam engines have appeared and have been rapidly promoted in industries such as smelting, textiles, and machine manufacturing. The first steam engine ship has also appeared. However, in military reform, because of the enemy of the barbarians, gunpowder and guns have not posed much threat to the barbarians with thick skin since their birth. They can only kill the barbarians at very close distances, and most of them can only be severe.
It is more difficult to take the initiative to defend the position under the protection of infantry. The heavy cavalry that can attack and retreat can be related to the life and death of the Chu Kingdom, and has a supreme position. It can deal with very few long-range weapons, and will not have gun arrays, horse-resistance and other combat strategies, and like to fight head-on and bloody barbarian soldiers. The heavy cavalry is the only army that can cause a lot of damage to them. On the contrary, on earth, when the first industrial revolution era enters, the heavy cavalry is basically facing elimination.
In other aspects, this world is similar to that of the Earth around the 19th century. Sometimes when you see Boss Jia drinking tea and reading the leisurely life of the Beining Post, Le Chen couldn't help but have the illusion of returning to the Earth, but he was just returning to the Western world in the 19th century.
