Section 145 Construction of the Tang Dynasty (15)
Pyramid!
Everyone rode on their camels, and the caravan sounded the camel bells leisurely and went to see the pyramids.
Egypt travelogue had to write about the pyramids, the desert was boring, but the pyramids on it were a book that could be read for a long time, especially for rulers!
Think about it!
The pyramids of Giza by the Nile include the pyramids of three generations of pharaohs: Khufu, Khafre, Menkara and the Sphinx.
The Pyramid of Khufu is the tallest pyramid in the world. It was built a long, long time ago and took many years to complete.
Now the Tang people measured the height of the tower, which is now 138.5 meters high. The body of the tower is made of countless huge stones and stones, the stones of different sizes weigh several tons to hundreds of tons (estimated), and its four sides are facing the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, and 1 degree is not bad.
It's hard to imagine how workers could have done such a grand project thousands of years ago.
The Sphinx is located next to the Pyramid of Khafre, a lion in ancient Egyptian mythology who was the guardian of various mystical places and the gates of the underworld. Make such a sphinx and guard the gate for the pharaoh.
It is truly extraordinary, 22 meters high, 75 meters long, 5 meters wide face, 2 meters long nose, two meters long ears, wearing a crown, carved with a holy snake relief on the forehead, such a huge building is carved on the same boulder.
Standing below it, Wu Zetian and Wei were in a bit of a trance!
Where is Pharaoh who built them in the past?
The Great Pyramids and Sphinxes they left behind have also weathered down with the passage of time, majestic from afar, ugly up close.
Even such a sturdy building is in danger, what about my generation?
Others visit, and those in power are hurting things.
"Let's go!" Wu Zetian sighed lightly, and suddenly asked thoughtlessly: "How long can the Taiping Railway last?" ”
Wei smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know anything after that. ”
He immediately perked up and said, "We live in the moment, we have to live a wonderful life and do our best." ”
Without thinking, he recited: "The most precious thing of man is life, and life belongs to man only once. A person's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back, he will not regret that he wasted his time, nor will he be ashamed of his inaction; In this way, at the end of his life, he will be able to say: "My whole life and all my energies have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world!" ”
The world is unified!
He's x, this kid is going against the sky!
All the people stared at him and felt the distance between them and him deeply!
……
Everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, when suddenly they heard a roar!
He turned around and looked at him, surprised.
I saw that a large piece of the desert outside the cordon was trapped, and there was an ambush, and a large group of Arabs roared and raised their bright scimitars, and they came to kill them brazenly!
Aha, it's the long-lost Assassin here.
"Assassin!"
"Escort!"
Immediately, the scene became chaotic, people's faces were panicked, and their legs were weak, but the Tang army was not chaotic!
The Tang Army, who was in charge of security, in accordance with the emergency plan, one escorted Wei and Wu Zetian, one escorted hundreds of civil and military officials, and the other stepped forward to kill the enemy, in an orderly manner.
Zhang Renyuan said to Wei eagerly: "Lord Wang, please leave!" ”
Wei said calmly: "Don't worry! ”
As soon as his hand was stretched out, a hard bow and arrow with two stones and three stones reached his hand, and he shot with lightning speed!
Bending the bow and arrows, there is no pretentiousness, but seeing the magic arrows rampant, where to prepare for the opportunity, after the explosion, only blood splashes!
The leading brother who rushed forward was yelling excitedly, preparing to make great achievements, and dreaming of hacking the culprit to death and snatching the empress to **! (The empress is so old, and she still wants to ** her, his taste is really heavy)
Like a flying fairy outside the sky, God comes with an arrow!
He was shot in the forehead, and he fell to his knees all at once!
Suddenly, the assassins who were rushing in frenzy just now instantly fell silent, and their morale came to a halt!
Then I saw two big men coming out of the crowd, and others gave them a row of throwing guns, each of them holding one, and shot violently!
The whistling sound was loud, and the assassins who could block the spears were struck by lightning and shook violently, and those who could not block the spears were pierced by the guns in the chest and came out from behind!
The Assassins rarely made it!
Not only did they throw guns, but a group of Tang Army rangers surged in the periphery, launching a powerful bow and arrow attack, and a continuous stream of arrows shot out, and they immediately screamed!
The Rangers did not engage the enemy, they just fired arrows around the Assassins, and the poor Assassins did not know how to form formations, and they had no shields, and in front of a well-trained army, they were delivering food!
After half an hour, hundreds of assassins were all defeated, and the scene was silent, except for the sound of horses beating their noses and the battle flag hunting in the wind.
Seeing the combat effectiveness of the Western Army in front of me, the people who are not in the Western Army and the Western Mansion are all stunned.
Some guys thought twice, and their hearts were full of despair: "With such a strong army, how can he be his opponent!" ”
"It's all settled!" Ah Yi was one of the big men who had just thrown a spear, and he reported to Wei Yu.
"Zhang Renyuan, what is going on with you tracking, let's get out of here!" Wei didn't say much, and invited Wu Zetian to go back to the barracks to live together.
……
Zhang Renyuan was extremely efficient, he first found the three people who were not dead from among the assassins, bandaged their wounds, and then broke them individually.
In the face of the interrogation of foreign enemies, the Tang army retained the methods of the previous cool officials in the court... Be able to make a bear admit that he's a rabbit!
With this kind of means, anything can be tried.
It turned out to be a group of fanatical believers, who colluded with some local officials in the government who half-heartedly defected to the Xifu and learned the news of the future of the holy car.
Beforehand dig a trench near the Sphinx and lay in ambush, with supports, to cover the yellow sand, and not to be noticed.
The gang lasted twenty days, in the heat of the desert!
At first, they could get supplies from their comrades for ten days (they came at night), but ten days ago the Tang army arrived and pulled a cordon and blocked traffic, and they held on to it when they had no supplies, and they even drank their own urine when they had no supplies!
When Wu Zetian and the others arrived, they came out, but they didn't expect that the assassins had to look at the place and fight with the Tang army in an open place, and there were not many people who could defeat the Tang army, and none of the forces could do it, so the assassins' hard work was in vain!
Zhang Ren is willing to take down the bad elements in the official mansion, please show Wei, Wei said without blinking: "Do it according to the law!" ”
The merit is nothing more than saving the driver, and the assassin emperor is even the nine clans!
As a result, the men of the Assassins and the informants were beheaded, and the women were sold as slaves.
The local government also cleaned up Zhang Renyuan, and Wei issued an order to strengthen the political trial when the government accepted people, and those bad elements must not be allowed to mix in, and they can stay!
There are many unlucky people.
