Emperor's Century

Chapter 145 Yunshi Sixth Brigade

Diqiu, also known as Xuanyuan Hill, is the ancestor of the Yanhuang Alliance. Huangdi was born and grew up in Si. Since the Huangdi defeated Yandi and Chiyou and settled the great wilderness, Diqiu has become the place where the Yanhuang emperors of all generations live, and the greatest capital of the whole wilderness.

A hundred miles north of the Diqiu is the endless Yellow River and Jishui - the Yellow River comes all the way to the east, where it converges to form a Yunze with a radius of hundreds of miles. Two big rivers are divided in the Zezhong, one goes to the northeast for the Yellow River, one goes to the east, and turns north through Heze to the water; to the west, the mountains are vertical and horizontal. The plain of Heluo, which is rich and popular; in the south, it is the Tongbai Mountain, which is divided by Yingshui and the Xia tribe, and remotely controlled the three seedlings in the south; hundreds of miles away in the east, it is the Gaoxin tribe, the second richest tribe on the Gaoyang Plain.

In a narrow sense, Diqiu is just a prosperous capital. In a broad sense, it is even more appropriate to say that it is the most powerful tribe in the wilderness. Because the capital city is centered on Diqiu, it controls a radius of thousands of miles and a population of nearly a million. Diqiu alone is inhabited by 500,000 people, close to one-tenth of the population of the whole wilderness.

The emperors of all dynasties rose from their respective tribes and entered the emperor's hill. No matter whether the mother is strong or not, once they enter this capital, they can control the world and control the rise and fall of the wilderness, which is inseparable from the huge strength brought to him by the capital of Diqiu. Otherwise, whether it is the Shaohao Emperor Ji Zhi of the Jintian clan, the Gaoyang Emperor Zhuan of the Gaoyang clan, the Gaoxin Emperor Jiyu of the Gaoxin clan, the Qingyang Emperor Ji Zhi of the Qingyang tribe, or Yao Yi Fangxun, the emperor of the Tang tribe today, why order the world with a small tribe and make hundreds of tribes of the six major tribes bow down?

When the first morning light shone on the top of Diqiu, Sang Mingyu finally saw this great capital for the first time in his life!

Sang Mingyu, Ai Sang, Bai Miao, Xu Di, together with Yao Chonghua and Guiyan Chu, captured a few deer Shu as mounts on the bank of Lei Ze. Along the south bank of Jishui, they stepped on the golden mud and sand, and walked all the way west in the dense wormwood grass that could reach people. Dozens of miles away from the emperor's Hill, they saw the top of the imperial hill. The glow is spread on the top of the emperor's hill, and the whole emperor's hill is like a burning fire, towering between the sky and the earth.

"Is this the legendary imperial hill?" Essan was amazed.

Yao Chonghua smiled and said, "Yes, the towering mountain in front is the birthplace of the Yellow Emperor - Diqiu, also known as Xuanyuan Hill. Since the rise of the Yellow Emperor, the Yanhuang Alliance has been operating for hundreds of years. The capital and this hill have been integrated. Palaces, houses, temples, military camps, granaries and workshops are all built on the Emperor's Hill, overlapping around the hills, covering almost the whole mountain peaks.

"So, Diqiu is this mountain?" Bai Miao said curiously, "So where is Di Yao's palace?"

Yao Chonghua laughed and said, "Diqiu is divided into five floors, and there are wide mountain roads winding up between each floor. At the foot of the emperor's hill, the lowest level is a continuous residential house; the second floor is the stationing place and granary of the sixth brigade of Yunshi, among which the bear brigade, the tiger brigade, the father brigade and the dragon carving brigade are stationed in four directions, the elephant brigade is on the plain east of the emperor's hill, and the turtle brigade is stationed on the bank of Yingshui in the south of the imperial hill; the third floor is the important ministers of the imperial hill and the four mountains. The mansion of the Twelve Pastors; the fourth floor is the palace of the Emperor of Yanhuang; the fifth floor is the Temple of Yanhuang, including the tombs of the Emperors of Yanhuang and the throne of the five-element gods.

Essen was very curious: "So can we go to the top of Diqiu?" The scenery there is the most beautiful, isn't it? It's so easy to come to Diqiu. It's a pity not to go and have a look.

Yao Chonghua was stunned and said with a wry smile, "Unless it is licensed, the fourth and fifth floors are not allowed to be entered by civilians. However, below the third floor, anyone can freely come and go. In fact, many residential houses are mixed with the Yunshi Camp on the second floor and the Chongchen Mansion on the third floor. Because the Yellow Emperor was generous and kind, the whole imperial hill was open to the people, and even outside his own palace was the house of the common people. On the day of sacrifice, the people can go to the top of the imperial hill to sacrifice their ancestors and pray to the gods. However, the rules of the subsequent emperors are getting bigger and bigger. On the pretext that the Yanhuang Temple should not be desecuted, the emperor's palace involved alliance secrets and expelled the people from the fourth and fifth floors.

Sang Mingyu is concerned about another question: "Lord Yao, I often hear people talk about the Yunshi Sixth Brigade in Diqiu. It is said that it is the most powerful force in the wilderness. How powerful is it?"

Yao Chonghua's eyes condensed and looked deeply at Sang Mingyu, but did not answer. He turned his head and asked, "Brother Gui, how many soldiers do you have in Yanggu?"

"Ten thousand standing soldiers." Chu answered as soon as he opened his mouth, "But if the whole people are mobilized, they can form 50,000 soldiers."

"Well, it accounts for more than half of the combat effectiveness of the Jintian tribe." Yao Chonghua nodded and then looked at Sang Mingyu and said, "The sixth brigade of Yunshi is the core force of the Diqiu army, the bear brigade, the tiger brigade, the elephant brigade, the father brigade, the Gudiao brigade and the spiral turtle brigade. The bear brigade is a three-thousand-foot-high, specially trained war bear. The bear's head is wrapped in a bronze headband, and each bear is equipped with a heavy armored knight on its back, which is invincible. The tiger brigade has a thousand flying tigers and 2,000 fierce tigers, each equipped with a light armored knight. It is extremely mobile and can launch a double strike from low altitude and the ground; elephant The brigade has a thousand giant elephants, each of which is equipped with four archers. When it moves on the battlefield, it is like an active fortress; the father's brigade..."

Yao Chonghua frowned and said slowly, "Have you ever heard of the Kuafu clan?"

"I've heard of it." Ai Sang said, "Kuafu is a kind of giant in the wilderness during the Yellow Emperor's period. It is said that he is two or three feet tall and has infinite strength. They helped Chi You fight against the Yellow Emperor. Later, they were defeated by the Yellow Emperor and migrated. They didn't know where to go.

"Yes, the father is a kind of half-human and half-beast that is similar in size to Kuafu." Yao Chonghua said, "There is a legend that the father and Kuafu are of the same blood, but the former is an uncivilized savage, and the latter is a highly civilized human being. The father's brigade is a legion with a thousand fathers as the backbone. They are good at attacking the city. Every time they attack the city, each person holds a huge wood that can't be held alone and hits the gate and the wall. The ordinary city wall can't withstand their collision at all. It is a sharp weapon for a tough battle.

Sang Mingyu and Gui Yanchu certainly knew the consequences of a thousand fathers hitting the city wall with huge logs. They were all solemn and did not say a word.

"What is this?" Bai Miao sneered and said, "It's enough to suppress them from a long distance with bows and arrows so that they can't get close to the gate at all."

"You don't know something." Gui Yanchu was extremely appreciative of this talented archer and explained, "This father also has an extremely powerful attack method. They are good at throwing with long arms. In the battle, his father threw a hundred catties of boulders a hundred feet away, generating a strong repressive force and killing a large number of enemies, which is the nightmare of all soldiers on the battlefield."
