Chapter 659 Fear in human genes
After completing the work of setting up camp on the hillside, Zhou Shicheng arranged a tight defensive formation for the army.
The defensive formation was built along the mountain and stretched for more than ten miles. From Chi Shangxiong's perspective, this formation almost covered half of Guanglan City.
Neither the enemy generals nor Zhou Shicheng's own generals could understand what the intention was during this operation.
In Guanglan City, Chi Shangxiong's head was broken and he couldn't figure out what Zhou Shicheng's actions meant.
Are you planning to fight a long-term tug-of-war with yourself with this rigid strategy?
But how dare he?
Does Zhou Shicheng have this material supply?
Can he hold himself back?
Where does the courage come from?
Did Karen Mok give it to me?
Chi Shangxiong is sitting on Guanglan City's treasury reserves, which can be used for the first half of the year without any problem, but where is Zhou Shicheng's confidence?
It's really baffling.
…
In this inexplicable atmosphere, both sides strengthened their defenses. For several days, except for a few tentative small-scale confrontations, the two sides did not even intend to fight.
So the competition between the two sides changed from guns to consumption of food.
During this boring time, Zhou Shicheng didn't do anything.
He did at least one thing, which was to gather hundreds of soldiers, run to the top of a mountain peak, and block the outlet of a lake with stones and mounds of earth.
The outlet of the gorge is funnel-shaped and about several meters wide. It is so inconspicuous deep in the mountains.
but!
It is this inconspicuous gorge, but in Zhou Shicheng's view, it is a deadly sickle of death.
Zhou Shicheng knows that Chi Shangxiong is a famous general among the nobles of the Miluo City State. Any strategy and tactics will be ineffective in front of him. His ability to understand the battlefield and detect danger is like cheating, and he does not care about the life and death of his own people.
Feelings determine the height he is at.
Even Zhou Shicheng couldn't defeat someone like Ji Shangxiong.
Unless...he makes a mistake himself.
In Zhou Shicheng's opinion, he made a mistake.
The mistake was that he should not occupy his own Guanglan City.
…
Human beings' fear of floods is engraved in their bones.
That's heredity written into DNA.
Whether in the past, present or future, in the East or the West, in the Bible or mythology, floods carry the scars of destruction and creation.
Zhou Shicheng looked back at the lake that was slowly filling up the water level, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
No one would imagine that this lake is actually the source of Zhijiang River.
Zhou Shicheng looked at Zhi Jiangyuan and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Ji Shangxiong can count everything, but as a blood noble, he cannot be counted as decisive as an ordinary person.
When Guanglan City was being built and expanded in the past, Zhou Shicheng had been thinking about a question, which was about his own way of death.
Zhou Shicheng used to have very simple thoughts. If he was really forced to live and die with Guanglan City, how should he die in a grand way?
What death can be more shocking to the soul than a torrential flood after death?
Because of this idea, Zhou Shicheng rejected many better city building plans, and then built Guanglan City into a bucket-shaped high city against all opinions.
Several walls of this city are ten meters high. The walls and the city walls, the city walls and the ground are perfectly connected. It can be called a model of pouring. It is almost built like a defensive fortress, which has amazed many military experts.
However, the underground drainage system of this kind of city can only slowly drain the city.
of siltation.
Of course, if we hadn't lived in Guanglan City for a year and a half, no one would have noticed this problem at all.
This is what Zhou Shicheng did intentionally!
Zhou Shicheng prepared a coffin for himself.
A coffin for burying yourself and your enemies.
Originally, the person most likely to step into the coffin was Song Ziyu, but later Song Ziyu accepted Zhou Shicheng's surrender...
So now, lying in the coffin is Ji Shangxiong and his 100,000 troops.
Zhou Shicheng was vaguely looking forward to it.
It's time to accept your masterpiece.
All you need is to wait.
…
During mankind's brilliant but short-lived civilization, there was a very interesting academic branch, and that was archeology.
Among the many debates in archeology, there was once an obscure academic controversy, and that was the question of whether the origin of noodles was from the East or the West.
The discourse power of the mainstream archaeological community has always been controlled by the Western world. They all believe that noodles were born in a certain Mediterranean country in the West, because the noodles there are world-famous and even prisoners of war love to eat them.
However, during an archaeological work in Yuxia, the pseudo-history of the archaeological world is destined to be rewritten.
At the site of an excavation of an ancient human site four thousand years ago, archaeological experts found a bowl of noodles upside down on the ground.
Because of the special inversion of this bowl of noodles, a vacuum environment was created, so the noodles were miraculously preserved intact.
This bowl of mustard wheat noodles from four thousand years ago not only rewrote archaeological history, but also raised a question.
What circumstances could create a vacuum among primitive tribes four thousand years ago?
The answer was quickly found among the intact bones and architectural ruins around the noodles.
It's a flood!
Sudden floods occur without warning
Without the village, this process would be almost instantaneous!
Only by completing the submergence in an instant can this ruins and this bowl of noodles be preserved.
So, where did the flood come from?
flood……
Comes from mythology.
In the old father-son battle between Gonggong and Zhu Rong, Gonggong raged against Mount Buzhou, causing the earth in Kyushu to collapse.
This myth actually records a terrifying earthquake.
Earthquakes, floods, and then Dayu attacked Gonggong and then controlled the floods...
The mythical stories of Yuxia Kingdom were connected in series at that moment.
When mythical stories become reality...
This devastating earthquake destined to be recorded in the history of the Yuxia Kingdom changed the course of the mother river in the north and even shattered a mountain peak.
The collapsed mountain peaks blocked the narrow outlet channel upstream of the river mouth, storing all the river water from the source in a huge valley.
This water storage process may take more than a month or more.
A month later, the broken mountain peaks could no longer stop the pouring floods, and the torrent swept straight down, killing villages along the river for more than 2,000 kilometers.
That is at this time!
During this disaster, the fear of floods was engraved in the genes of the Yuxia people.
To put it in simpler terms, although they died at a sudden moment in the ruins of the village where noodles were discovered, their fate was actually determined as early as the earthquake.
…
What's the use of saying this?
Of course!
Like a submerged primitive village, when Zhou Shicheng filled in the last shovelful of soil at the top of the mountain gorge, the fate of the people in Guanglan City was sealed at this moment.
Chapter completed!
