Riding on the "Sky Eagle" plane, Shi Baoshan flew higher and higher, and gradually passed out.
Tartar Wentai and his group were heading towards the watchtower, the camp of these "Flying Generals".
"City Lord! Look, the Witch Eagles are here again!"
The sharp-eyed men discovered that a group of black eagles were circling above the tower, and almost every one of them had a small white dot huddled up at its feet.
Tartar Wentai stood still, stretched his hand back, and quickly handed over a powerful bow and a feather arrow from left and right.
I saw Tartar Wentai pointing at the largest of the group of uninvited guests, bending his bow and setting an arrow, narrowing one eye, holding his breath and raising his elbow, looking for his best "hit" in the chaos. The timing.
"Whoosh!"
There was a sound of strings and two points fell.
The other Black Eagles were frightened by this sudden change, and they all flew away with a cry.
"Oops! Miss's 'Flying General' is almost gone again!"
"These witch eagles haven't been here for a long time! It seems like something happened outside, otherwise, they wouldn't come here looking for food."
The two men were muttering to each other, which made Ta Wentai's heart sink, and an ominous premonition came over him.
"The city lord is good at archery!"
Wang Li was still obsessed with the city lord's magical skill of "killing two birds with one stone" just now. He couldn't help but admired it again and again, dancing and looking eager to try it.
"What a great thing! With so many witch eagles suddenly coming, something big must have happened outside! A disaster is about to happen here!"
Another older subordinate exposed the hidden worries in Tartar's heart.
Tartar Wentai handed the bow to the guard, folded his hands, and rubbed the seam of his thumb that was sore from pulling the bow. He turned around and glared at the older subordinate, then turned to Wang Li, smiled slightly, and said:
"Want to learn? I'll teach you when I have time."
"Very good!"
Wang Li almost wanted to come up and put his arms around Tawen Tai, but he was only tall enough to touch Ta Wentai's arm, so he had to laugh at himself in embarrassment, put down his half-raised arm, and rubbed his hands. Sansan said: "I may need a smaller bow, more suitable!"
"Walk!"
The two guards had already run ahead to collect the loot; Tartar Wentai put his hands behind his back, took a wide step, and took the lead to continue moving forward.
"Look, City Lord! How to deal with them?"
The two guards who arrived first, one each, held two dead eagles in their arms. One of them, the feather arrow that had pierced the chest, had not yet been pulled out from the chest, and he held it in front of Tartar Wentai.
"The old rule is, bake it and distribute it to the whole city, old and young, and eat it together!"
"Wow! You can also eat eagle meat?!"
Wang Li marveled again and continued, "I heard that eagles also eat rotten things. Can those... be eaten?"
Xin Wu suddenly understood what the "big event" the older guard was talking about.
"Why can't you eat it? Roast it! Everything is fine." Tatar Wentai seemed to want to change the topic to how to eat the "trophy" as soon as possible, trying his best to cover up another bigger worry.
The group of people, after twists and turns, finally reached the viewing platform at the top of the tower. Although the area was not large, it was only big enough for four or five people to stand, but fortunately, Xinwu and the others were all small and short. They stood up easily, but they could only see the panoramic view by looking down through the observation hole under the crenel.
"Here, let me show you—oh! Wait a minute."
Ta Wentai found that these little guys were looking through the shooting holes under the crenellations of the parapet wall. The view there was not high enough, so he bent down, holding Xin Wu and He Yixi in his arms, and Huo Huo. Dun didn't come up, but jumped around and said to Wang Li again: "You pick this up and look at it!"
"Have you seen it: Look in the distance, that ring of red mountains. These are all in the distance. Between these mountains and our city, there are the beds of two big rivers. They are very deep and there is no such large amount of water anymore. It’s all just swampy mud. If you go down from all sides, the rock walls are very steep and you can’t stand down.”
really! From this angle, Xin Wu finally figured out which cliff the secret tunnel they dug passed through. This city is like a giant "paramecium": the two ends are pointed and rounded, and the whole is long and fat.
However, compared with Shi Baoshan's "Eagle Perspective", this perspective is still less structured.
"You saw it! There were big rivers flowing through us here a long time ago; but now, these above-ground rivers have stopped flowing. Only in underground rivers can we find water sources for the city residents to drink. However, our water here Grapes are very sweet, and I can say without humility that we have never seen sweeter grapes than ours.”
As soon as Ta Wentai talked about the grapes he was proud of, he became very happy. He waved his hands to make gestures. As a result, Xin Wu and He Yixi were caught off guard and they all slipped down.
"Oh! I'm sorry!"
Tat Wentai quickly bent down and wanted to hug the two of them again, but they quickly stood up from the ground, waved their hands repeatedly, and said, "Thank you, thank you! No need to hug them, I have already seen them!"
Huodun took a look and struggled to get Wang Li to let him down.
"You don't want to say thank you to me either?"
Wang Li put down the fire pier with a smile and said something to him.
"Thank you! Thank you! You can't hold me high, I didn't even see the river... and you asked me to thank you..."
Under Wang Li's support, Huodun was still not high enough to have an advantage. He didn't have a comprehensive view and was full of regrets, so he thanked reluctantly.
"Xiao Heguo Shi, you just saw our city. How did it feel? Isn't it spectacular? What do you think?"
The city that Tartar Wentai personally designed and supervised was built, embodying the efforts of several generations. He always wanted to have people who understood it, who could see it from here, and then praise him well to satisfy his vanity.
"The layout of this city is just for convenient management. If a war breaks out, the people may not be able to escape even if they want to."
Tartar Wentai never thought that this young He Guoshi's perspective would be so unique. How could he know how to "be prepared for danger in times of peace" at such a young age?
Indeed, in the design of this city, there was never any preparation for the citizens to escape from the city; the so-called preparations were the two wide rivers flowing through the city on both sides, making this city a It looks like an isolated island.
"What do you think? How should we change it to make it better?"
Tatar Wentai had respect for He Yixi and asked for advice seriously.
"I can't say for sure, but at least there should be two acropolises at the front and back of the city to station troops and provide safe water sources. These water sources are connected. When there is a war, you can have time to resist for a while. Then the people would have a place to retreat and take shelter.”
He Yixi squatted down on the spot, picked up a pigeon feather on the ground, and started painting on the cooked earth tiles with a layer of floating soil:
"In this way, dig two more moats, one at the front and the other at the top, and then dig a big pit for water storage at both places..."
Looking at his painting on the ground, he cut off the head and tail of this "paramecium" and turned it into a square in the middle and a semicircle at both ends. Ta Wentai couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and praised:
"In this way, no matter which side the enemy attacks from, we have enough buffer to escape. That's great! How awesome, Xiao He Guoshi!"
