Chapter 534 River of Poisonous Dragon
"Your Excellency, these organs are actually not difficult to crack. The ground can be virtual under human control, but after all, there are rules to follow. Otherwise, how can the guards who have just retreated to the hospital pass safely? If it is in the daytime, you can see the clues, but unfortunately it is night and you can't see the layout clearly. Wang Yongdao.
"That is to say, we don't have time to think about the doorway here, so we can only use stupid methods." Song Nandao.
"So adults have countermeasures?"
"There is no countermeasure, but I'm sorry for the dead palace guards, and I have to take their bodies as a stepping stone."
Wang Yong patted his forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot this method. At the beginning, Liu Liuqi's thief's nest camp in Taihang Mountain was also dug and covered with spikes. The humble job was to put the body in. This method is the most practical."
Where is it practical for Song Nan to roll her eyes and use the body as a stepping stone? The order said, "I ordered people to drag the dozens of bodies on the street. You are taking people to search for some door panels and other things near the left. These things should be able to pass smoothly."
Wang Yong quickly took people to Zhangluo. Soon, the guards dragged dozens of corpses and carried more than a dozen door panels and rushed back. Song Nan had been staring at the round door of the black hole not far away. There was no movement inside. Song Nan even doubted whether the rear of the house was on the way to escape again. Whether Zhu Nanyu had already brought The man fled, and his heart was burning with anxiety.
A dead body was pushed on a bluestone slab, and from time to time, a bluestone flipped and forwarded a click sound. Half of the bodies fell into a trap for a poisonous blade, piercing with black blood. Fortunately, there were still boards on the body, and everyone stepped on it safely.
When the archers on the tree saw that Jinyiweimen came up with a way to cross, they couldn't calm down and shot several arrows in a row. After being in a hurry, two guards were hit by arrows, but Wang Yong's sharp eyes had already seen their archery position, bent their bows and fired repeatedly, shooting several sniper shooters down from the tree.
The closer it is to the gate of the courtyard, the more Song Nan dares not take it lightly. The formation is too dense. If archers suddenly pour out of the round door and shoot, there is no room for movement under their feet, there will be huge casualties. Therefore, when 30 steps away from the courtyard gate, Song Nan ordered to stop moving and pave the floor with door panels leading to more than a dozen big trees on both sides. Below, he took the crowd to touch the bottom of more than a dozen big trees.
Under the tree, there must be a field, hiding the body under the root of the tree, which can not only be used as a shelter against arrows and fire, but also can climb the tree to observe the situation in the round door. Even if time is tight, you can't rush in.
Song Nan and Wang Yong climbed to the top of a big tree, and there was a platform with a few feet in the canopy. This is the place where the sniper shooters lurked just now. Looking up, everything in the courtyard can be seen at a glance, and the gate of the courtyard is also clearly discernable. No wonder the guard was hit by an arrow as soon as he appeared. This is indeed a good place to attack high. Place.
Looking at the round door, there was a shadow of the outline of the house, but it was not very clear. There were shadows such as flowers and trees inside, and it was not clear where the enemy was hiding. However, when Song Nan was on patrol, he made a great discovery, which made Song Nan happy and worried.
The whole pattern of Zhu Yu's residence is like an egg. The protein outside is the bluestone paved courtyard, and the residence inside the round door is egg yolk, just like a concentric circle. The outer layer is the sniper and the ground. Inside, there is always a dead zone between Zhu Yu and the outer wall, no matter where it comes from. Attacking in one direction, whether it is climbing over the wall or entering through the courtyard door, you can't get close to the inner house without going through the baptism of the sniper archer and the test of the thorny land on the ground.
The advantage of this pattern is that it can defend the perimeter of the residence without dead corners, but the disadvantage is that once the enemy invades and the organ is launched, it can only be trapped in it. Of course, Zhu Nanyu will definitely not take this into account when designing like this. This is the Qingwang Mansion in the city, which only blocks the assassins from coming in. Naturally, the guards outside can destroy them, and there is no need to consider escaping at all. However, when Song Nan is now grateful for this pattern, Zhu Xiaoqi has no chance to escape.
Because of the limited vision, it is only based on the judgment of the visible place. In order to confirm this, Song Nan ordered to light a torch and shoot the torches all over the front with arrows to see what happened. When he saw the inner house wall extending in an arc on both sides and the bluestone ground wide extending to both sides, Song Nan could conclude that it was this pattern. .
One torch shot into the round door of the inner house. Some fell on the left side of the round door and burned, but some landed and immediately extinguished, making a clear sneer. The torch ignited the dead branches in the flowers and trees, burning brightly. The firelight illuminated a large area in the round door, but there was not even a ghost shadow, and there was not even an ambush in the round door.
On the inside of the round door, there is a stone bridge leading to more than a dozen houses on the inner side. Only then did Song Nan understand why the torch suddenly went out. Under the bridge was surrounded by a manually excavated river, and the inner house was surrounded by a river like an isolated island.
"This old thief is also pitiful. For the sake of safety, he wrapped himself in this prison-like place on the left and right three floors. The old thief was really afraid of death, but this time, he also trapped himself." Wang Yong scolded.
Song Nan said, "Don't take it lightly. It's still like this outside. There must be something strange inside."
That said, since no one was ambushed in the round door in the firelight, it would be much easier to move next, leaving a personal guard to watch and scout at the top of the tree. The rest of the people quickly moved the bodies and boards, quickly arrived at the round door, threw the bluestone floor behind them, and stepped on the ground.
Everyone opened their eyes and slowly entered the round door with their breath. Just as they had just observed on the tree, along the curved inner wall is a row of low trees. At this moment, it has burned to beep. Under the firelight, a stone bridge is not far in front of them. At the other end of the bridge is the isolated island-like ground, and Zhu Xiao is hidden in those In one of the more than a dozen rooms with closed doors and windows.
"This river is strange." Looking closely at the river, I found that in this cold first month, the river was steaming with white air.
Everyone can feel the water vapor with a trace of warmth. The water of the artificial river is actually warm, which is unknown for a while.
"It's not surprising that there are many hot springs in Ningxia Town. Maybe this is one place, but the old thief will enjoy it." Wang Yongdao.
Everyone was relieved that there were seven or eight warm springs in Ningxia Town. Some people in the guards went to take a bath and smelled the water vapor. It was indeed like hot spring water. Although Song Nan felt a little uneasy, she couldn't think of anything strange. It was not surprising that there was a hot spring in Zhu Yuqi's residence. Maybe it was this hot spring. He chose to live here, and soaking in hot springs is one of the high-level enjoyment these days.
Seven or eight guards took the lead in opening the way, carefully stepped on the arched stone bridge, and walked step by step along the stone steps to the bridge. Song Nan and Wang Yong stared nervously at the movement around them for fear of something unexpected. Suddenly, Wang Yong shouted, "There is someone under the bridge."
When everyone looked in the direction he pointed, they saw six or seven black heads floating in the water under the bridge. Obviously, there was someone potentially in the water under the bridge. After hearing the noise, the people in the water made a loud noise under the bridge, like hitting something with a hammer, and then swam quickly to the other side. Everyone raised their fire and shot, only the two people who were dragged behind, and the others climbed ashore and ran without a trace.
Song Nan was wondering why these people were hiding under the bridge when she heard the sound of the stone bridge, and the seemingly strong stone bridge shook like a nightmare.
"No, the bridge is going to collapse. Come back soon." Wang Yong shouted.
Seven or eight guards on the bridge hurried back, but it was already a step late. The stone bridge collapsed like a sand tower in an instant. Except for one of the seven or eight guards above, jumped back to the shore, and the rest fell into the water with the collapsed stone bridge. For a while, the sound was endless, and the soaring smoke and stone crumbs flew around. Song Nan and others on the shore had to quickly shrink to avoid it. After a moment, the sound stopped a little, and the smoke and dust dissipated slightly, so they straightened up and covered their mouth and nose to check.
Several guards fell with the bridge and suffered a lot of injuries. They tossed loudly for help. Wang Yong quickly ordered people to rescue. When they were busy, the water on both sides of the river rolled and made strange noises. Looking at the firelight, they saw dozens of waves coming from both sides, and something seemed to be approaching under the water.
In consternation, two green light on the left appeared in everyone's vision, like two bright green colors shining like ghost fire. Song Nan reacted for the first time. It was the eyes of crocodiles. Later generations like to explore in the wild. This situation of staying on the crocodile lake at night is often seen, which is enough to conclude at a glance.
"Save people, that's a crocodile." Song Nan shouted.
"What?" Everyone didn't understand what Song Nan was talking about.
"It's a poisonous dragon." Song Nan had to explain the common name of crocodiles by people these days.
"Poisonous Dragon!!" The guards shouted like a pan, and some people had begun to fire the water on both sides, panicking. Although tigers, leopards, lions and wolves are terrible in the wild, what people these days fear most is this devil-like creature called poisonous dragons. They wear thick armor, and their swords are difficult to enter. They are fierce and cold-blooded. They are really everyone's nightmares.
The guards who fell into the river hurriedly climbed to the shore. The bank was steep and slippery, and the light was blurred. Coupled with the fear of the approaching of the poisonous dragon, their bodies were disobedient. As soon as they climbed up halfway, they fell into the water. Wang Yong scolded and threw down the hooks and dragged the three people up regardless. This dragged the three people. Ashore, the four people in the water made a shocking cry. They saw the splash surge and the sound of the water shocked the sky. More than a dozen poisonous dragons had bitten the four guards and rolled violently.
Song Nan was horrified and realized that the four were probably not lucky. Once the crocodile began to die and roll over, it showed that several crocodiles had bitten their prey and were eating together; the screams continued, and the crocodile was thrown down but hooked the round body, dragged it into mid-air and was bitten by the crocodile, and the rope was broken. In two pieces, he fell back into the water with a bang.
"Brother. Hold on." The guards on the shore shouted, and the cry for help in the water below gradually weakened, leaving only the sound of splashing water.
