In the southwest corner of Duobang City, gray dust and fog were everywhere. In front of Liu Da, there was a line of rosin fire burning, and the smoke and black smoke from the burning rosin were lingering. He held a bow and arrow in his hand, staring blankly at the fire on the city wall in front of him.
A huge fire started on a ladder, and the young men screamed and turned into balls of fire and kept falling down from above. The Annan soldiers on the top of the city were still throwing porcelain jars down, and the oil in the jars immediately added fuel to the fire.
The ladder on the left front side was already broken! A general not far away pointed his sword at that side and shouted, "Fire!"
"Boom, boom, boom..." Liu Da was quickly shrouded in white smoke, and he coughed. At this time, Baihu Yin Desheng's voice shouted again to release arrows. The row of soldiers where Liu Da was sitting lowered their bows and arrows, and lit the oilcloth wrapped around the a
The walls of Dobang City have been rebuilt several times and are now a large city with walls three zhang high (more than eight meters).But now it seems not so high. Corpses are piled up beside the wall. In order to push the ladder to the front of the city wall, the Ming army directly covers the corpses with soil to build a road. Large slopes are formed outside the city wall, swallowing up the height of the wall.Nearly half of the centurion Yin Desheng's troops had been killed or wounded, and he himself was stuck on the slope, unable to move forward or backward. The enemy soldiers on both sides of the city wall kept shooting at them with muskets, and Yin Desheng felt more and more that his men were like living targets on the execution ground."Ah..." Another soldier on Yin Desheng's left was hit by a musket. The soldier dropped the weapon in his hand and screamed while holding his chest. A moment later, the cannon behind him roared like thunder, and a stone
In the thick smoke of Duobang South City, the sound of footsteps and horse hooves resounded through the heavens and the earth. On the ground, patches of red tassels swayed, and wide-brimmed iron helmets and a forest of swords and spears spread northward like a torrent.The Annan army on the other side seemed to have more people, with groups of war elephants armed to the teeth, and infantry following closely on both sides. The heavy footsteps of countless war elephants stepped on the brick ground together, and the earth seemed to be shaking."Boom boom boom..." Suddenly, large and small artillery pieces roared in front of the Ming army crowd, followed by the crackling of muskets, and a large cloud of white smoke rose with a sound like thunder."Woo..." The elephants began to cry out in fear. The war elephants, wearing leather armor and sharp weapons, were tall and terrifying, but when the firearms were fired, they ignored the trainers' shouts and turned aroun
In the Xishan camp, Zhu Gaoxu's entire army of elite cavalrymen were covered with colorful tiger skins because he had received a report that the enemy troops on the Black Water River had many elephant soldiers.Although the fake tiger disguised as a horse was ridiculous, people could tell it was fake at a glance, and perhaps the elephant knew it too; the bright tiger skin still frightened the elephant! So all the troops of the Ming army learned this trick.Zhu Gaoxu also prepared a large number of firearms in the infantry camp to deal with the elephant soldiers. In the grand field battle, Zhu Gaoxu did not take the Annan army seriously except for the elephant soldiers.He ordered the main camp to move twenty miles eastward, clearing the valley entrance, waiting for the Annan reinforcements to arrive and set up the battle formation before defeating the enemy head-on!After waiting for a few days, the Annan army still hadn't come out of the mountains and
The Ming army came from the west. The former Queen of Annan, Chen, climbed up the gate tower and stood there watching the situation outside.Chen was wearing an ordinary purple silk robe, which was quite similar to the Hanfu style in the Central Plains. The high waist made her figure look even taller and slenderer, and the soft silk material showed off her curvy figure beautifully.The sun was setting, but the afterglow was still dazzling, shining directly on Chen's face, making it difficult for her to fully open her large eyes in her deep eye sockets. Her forehead was flat and smooth, her face was dignified and beautiful, and her black hair and jade-white skin seemed to be covered with a layer of light in the orange light.Chen said nothing, but his eyes were attracted by the scene outside the wall. Under the big banner with "Han" written on it, the cavalry of the King of Han of the Ming Dynasty, wearing tiger skins, galloped on the flat plain like a group
Chen was still in shock, staring blankly at the Ming prince in front of her. Her son was sent to the Hanwang Mansion. She had long missed this man and had heard a lot about him. When they met suddenly, Chen did not feel that he was a stranger.But the King of Han was not what she had imagined. The young man in front of her was wearing heavy armor and a red cloak. He had a very majestic figure and bronze skin. He was completely different from the royal family aristocrats who were pampered and overindulged in alcohol and sex.As Zhu Gaoxu slowly walked over, Chen smelled a peculiar smell of male sweat. After all, he had just been through a fierce battle.Chen's eyes swept across the bloodstains of the bodies that were killed in an instant, and then glanced at the colorful mount behind Zhu Gaoxu. In a trance, she seemed to hear the angry roar of a tiger in the jungle, and an invisible huge pressure made her chest suddenly suffocate, and for a short moment she c
In the Ming army camp outside Duobang City, trumpets sounded before dawn, and Zhang Fu's vanguard army broke camp early and began to march eastward. Because Zhang Fu received a report last night that Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry to Shenglong!Zhang Fu originally thought that Zhu Gaoxu had already given him the credit for capturing the Eastern Capital, but unexpectedly, the cavalry of the King of Han ran faster than anyone else. Thang Long City was now empty of troops, and it was not difficult to capture it. Zhang Fu was naturally very anxious, and he sent out orders twice in succession, urging the vanguard to speed up the march.The King of Han didn't keep his word? Zhang Fu carefully read the military order again and found that the order in the letter only asked Zhang Fu to lead his troops to Thang Long, but did not say that only Zhang Fu's troops could go to Thang Long...Zhang Fu was filled with rage. He had known that the King of Han was cunning, and now he
Three days later, Thang Fu's army captured the eastern capital of Annan, Thang Long.After the Ho family became powerful, they moved the capital of Annan to Thanh Hoa, the western capital, because they made their fortune there. However, Thang Long (Hanoi) was located in the center of the rich Dajiang Plain, with abundant food and dense population, and was still the largest and most prosperous city in Annan.The Ming army entered Thang Long and immediately began to plunder. Zhu Gaoxu also sent his troops to Thang Long to "station". He never allowed his soldiers to plunder, nor did he order them to stop.At this time, Zhang Fu sent another letter, suggesting that they report the victory to the court and offer gifts, and Zhu Gaoxu had no objection. However, he knew very well that offering gifts meant more plunder.Zhu Gaoxu did not approve of this approach, but if he jumped out to stop it, it would block the financial path of many people, so he never obje
The next morning, before dawn, Zhu Gaochi went to Wenhua Hall to the south of Chunhe Palace and returned before noon. Guo Yan accompanied Zhu Gaochi for a walk in a small garden near Chunhe Palace.At this time, Zhu Gaochi saw Zhu Zhanji, who was over eight years old, standing by the pond, carefully pulling a slingshot; the two eunuchs beside him were also looking intently ahead, and for a moment they did not notice Zhu Gaochi and others behind him.The shape of the slingshot was like a bow for archery, but the difference was that there was a piece of leather wrapped with stones in the middle of the bowstring. This kind of bow was quite powerful. At this moment, with a "bang", the slingshot was fired.Then there was a scream of an animal. Zhu Gaochi then realized that a white rabbit not far away had been knocked over by a stone and was struggling on its back on the ground."Good! Good!" When the two eunuchs saw Zhu Zhanji hit the rabbit, they immediate
The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp
There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h
Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during
Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und
The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm
This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p
After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which
The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.
The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
