Chapter 323 I want to buy this castle
This is a small city. Compared with the city where the Human Alliance often has millions of people, this city is pitifully small. However, in the era of cold weapons, it was an extremely strong city. In addition to the central Dicheng, the city radiated to the outside for about five kilometers. In other words, with Dicheng as the center, the diameter of the entire city is about thirteen kilometers.
On the outside, there is the outer city wall that is as high as 20 meters. Outside the outer city wall, there are a patch of cannibal trees on one side. The spacing between cannibal trees is more than 200 meters. Excluding the attack range of cannibal trees, the passage for humans to enter is only about ten meters.
It has to be said that this is a solid fortress with a reasonable design of offensive and defense. Those man-eating trees are also a barrier. The only one who can break through the man-eating trees is rockets. However, it also takes a very long time to use rockets, because the distance between man-eating trees is very large, and the soldiers guarding the city are familiar with the layout of the man-eating trees. Therefore, during siege battles, the defending soldiers are easy to attack the siege.
It is worth mentioning here that the man-eating tree itself has defensive capabilities, and one or two rockets cannot destroy the combat power of the man-eating tree, because the vines of the man-eating tree can extinguish the fire, and it is also very difficult to make the man-eating tree burn.
Of course, the cannibal tree is lethal to the enemy and is also a threat to the officers and soldiers guarding the city. The distance of about ten meters is a very dangerous distance. It is easy to break in by mistake when the war is in chaos, and it is not advisable to ambush and defend...
To put it bluntly, a man-eating tree is a double-edged sword that hurts others and yourself!
There are many cases in the history books studied by Zou Zichuan, which mentions the records that the cannibal tree swallowed up a large number of troops.
The city wall is on three sides. At this time, Zou Zichuan discovered that this was an incredible and magical place.
In addition to the tens of thousands of acres of cannibal trees, the other two sides are the passage between the desert and the prairie. This city seems to be a core at the intersection of the cannibal trees, the prairie and the desert.
In terms of design, there are heavy artificial traces. Obviously, those who cannibal trees are cultivated by humans, and the desert itself is where, and the grasslands and deserts are also uneven and erode each other.
Standing on the Dicheng, you can see that the yellow sand and the prairie are eroding each other. Some grasslands extend into the desert for dozens of kilometers, while some quicksand also enter the prairie for dozens of kilometers. Judging from the area occupied by yellow and green, the prairie seems to have a higher wind. Of course, from the center line, the upper hand occupies is very small and negligible, because, whether it is the desert and the prairie, you can't see the edge at all, extending to the sky, connecting with the blue sky and white clouds...
Could that be the Death Desert in Opp's mouth?
Zou Zichuan believed that whether it was a desert, a prairie, or a man-eating tree, the scene of the intersecting of these three parties should be artificial. At least, the man-eating tree on the prairie or the man-eating tree that almost formed a forest was within 800 years of age, and there were no ancient trees that had been over thousands of years old.
Judging from the landform, the spacecraft should have landed on the desert. At that time, the humans on the exploration spacecraft were reluctant to give up the spacecraft. They spent a lot of manpower to connect the prairie to the next side of the disc-shaped spacecraft. Then they cultivated a large number of people-eating trees. Finally, they used the huge hull of the spacecraft to build a solid fortress...
It was almost an instinct. Zou Zichuan thought about how to break through this strong fortress if he led his army?
If you have a hard work, the casualties will be ten times that of the soldiers guarding the city. The concept of this castle is very clever. In the inner wall, there will be several cannibal trees at every distance. If the enemy breaks the city, you must avoid these cannibal trees. The consequence of avoiding the cannibal trees is to crowd and trample on each other, and encircle the soldiers guarding the city and annihilate them...
Siege!
The best way to break through the city wall is to siege, but the cost of siege is higher. The defenders can attack from countless city gates. The people who designed the city gate seemed to have thought of these possibilities. The Dicheng, which is less than fourteen kilometers in diameter, actually has more than fifty thick metal doors. These metal doors use lever pulleys. As long as the door is locked, it is more difficult to break through the city wall if it wants to break through, but it can be easily opened and closed.
I just don’t know if the enemy siege has a powerful weapon to siege the city, otherwise, even if it is broken, it will cost you a bloody price…
Zou Zichuan always believed that there is no unbreakable city!
"Mr. Zou, please!"
Fuji Qianqiu broke Zou Zichuan's imagination. At this time, the gate of the imperial city had been opened, and two black horses were also taken away. On both sides of the city gate, two rows of tall and mighty soldiers were all wearing snow-white bone armor and holding long spears made of black wood. The spear head was grinding for the beak of the corpse bird, and shining with a shiny and shiny light. The guards were carrying short bows and quiveres on their backs as usual. If they weren't carrying a long knife at their waists, it would have become a world without metal.
In fact, from historical books, we can see that the metal resources on this planet are extremely poor, which is why some people use bows and arrows in large quantities, because these things do not require metal at all.
In this world, any metal is of amazing value.
Suddenly, Zou Zichuan thought that this planet has no high technology, is it related to the scarcity of metal?
At least, this is one of the reasons!
In human high technology, metal is inseparable from metal. People can’t live without metal every moment, from cups and other daily necessities to spacecraft. If there is no metal, human technological level will immediately regress to the Hongmeng period...
While thinking about it all the way, Zou Zichuan had already entered the interior of this sturdy castle. After entering the interior, he realized that the magnificent castle outside was not high, and the highest was only two floors, and the foot structure looked very strange. However, Zou Zichuan understood at a glance that the foot of the castle was considered to take into account the load-bearing capacity of the internal structure of the disc spacecraft, and tried to build the walls on the keel skeleton of the spacecraft as much as possible, so the structure of the castle seemed very strange.
It was still the conference room, and the meeting was long and had not been accepted yet. When Zou Zichuan was taken outside the door by the servants to wait, he could vaguely hear the voice of his speech.
Soon, the informant servant came out and bent down to invite Fuji Chiaki and Zou Zichuan into it.
"Caughters, please see the emperor!"
Zou Zichuan walked into the conference room and glanced at the conference room, and immediately fell on the old emperor who was in the upper hand. Although the old emperor was old and dressed no differently than ordinary people, wherever he sat, he had the dignity and demeanor that others did not have, which was easy to identify.
Zou Zichuan gave a standard military salute, but did not perform kneeling rituals. Although there are many imperial families in the Human Alliance, due to the progress of human beings, some kneeling rituals are generally not used in large rituals. Some soldiers did not need to perform kneeling rituals when they met the emperor, but instead used military salutes instead.
Looking at Zou Zichuan's straight military salute, everyone was stunned. This was a manner that had never been seen before.
Zhao Lie had already recognized this young man who had met on the prairie. The moment Zou Zichuan began to look over, the two of them exchanged their eyes. However, Zou Zichuan did not pause, and Zhao Lie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If Zou Zichuan said that he had been to the prairie, the blame for the killing of the little duke. Until now, the big duke did not know that the little duke who entered the prairie hunting had been dead for many days...
"Are you going to buy my corpse bird king armor?" The old emperor looked at Zou Zichuan with turbid eyes and said lightly.
"Yes." Zou Zichuan nodded.
"Three hundred thousand gold coins!" the old emperor smiled.
"I'll get the deal, I'll get off the Die City and I can pay the cash right away."
"Well, I believe this."
"What else do you want to buy?" A smile appeared on the corner of the old emperor's mouth.
"I need to see the armor of the Corpse Bird King before I can tell you." Zou Zichuan said slowly.
"Pa!" The old emperor patted his hands gently, and immediately, a servant walked in with a wooden box. Judging from the strong servant's expression, the things inside the wooden box were very heavy.
"Very good, can I try it?" Zou Zichuan opened the wooden box on the conference table and looked up at the old emperor.
"The armor is yours now, of course you can try it, but are you here to try it..."
The old emperor immediately shut up because Zou Zichuan had already taken out his armor and calmly called several servants to help put on the armor of the Corpse Bird King.
With the help of the two attendants, Zou Zichuan soon put on the armor, which was a pair of armor wrapped around the head, revealing only a pair of eyes and mouth.
After watching Zou Zichuan put on the armor, the conference room was so quiet that it was suffocating. Zou Zichuan was tall and put on the armor made of black bone pieces, his figure became more and more majestic, and he faintly exuded a sense of terrifying spirit...
"What else do you want to buy from me? Tell me together!" The old emperor looked at the armor on Zou Zichuan's body with a hint of care and helplessness on his face.
"I'm going to buy this castle!"
...
Zou Zichuan's answer was too surprising. Everyone in the conference room looked at Zou Zichuan with a big mouth. Even the old emperor seemed to have no reaction. He looked at Zou Zichuan with a dull look on his face. At first, people thought of many relics of the previous emperor, but no one thought that Zou Zichuan would want to acquire this castle.
Everything was full of incredible things, even Fuji Chiaki looked confused.
"presumptuous!"
Zhao Lie shouted loudly, and suddenly, the entire conference room was filled with a crazy murderous intent, the walls were shaking, and there seemed to be circles of ripples spreading in the air.
Immediately, the door of the conference room was opened and dozens of armies surrounded Zou Zichuan.
A crazy fighting spirit filled the air.
Zou Zichuan's eyes were staring at Zhao Lie in front of the old emperor, and the eyes inside him were as sharp as a blade...
