Chapter 273: Lost in the Swamp(1/2)
"This is a point-of-stop!" Zhu Yu expressed his guess!
"It should be." Ran Jie took a few steps and looked at it, "This land bun is a quadrilateral platform, not a circular shape like the original earth mound tomb. Look, the four sides are flat..."
"That's the general's platform." Cao Dalong gave the attraction.
Qin Fei glanced at him: "It makes you look like you are professional."
Cao Dalong laughed and said nothing.
"Let's go over and take a look." Zhu Yu waved his hand, "You'll know when you walk in front of you."
If it is a mound tomb, even if it is hollowed out, there should be traces.
If it is a general station, it should be solid and naturally nothing.
It mainly consists of five or six rows, forming a line, and the appearance is similar, so it is hard to say that this is natural.
Croa was a little confused when he heard the four of them speak Chinese, but looking at the direction they were heading, he probably understood what was going on.
She hurriedly followed, still beside Zhu Yu.
He walked to a dirt platform and stopped. Zhu Yu put down his backpack, took out the shovel, and said:
"I'll go up and take a look."
At this time, Croa also realized that the rustic platform should have been made by hand, but she didn't quite understand what it had to do with treasure hunting?
The Golden Horde is a country composed of nomadic peoples, and the Kievan Rus Principality was not in this form.
So what's the point of digging here?
Once she got into the industry, the psychological trauma of Croa became silenced at this moment, and she took out a shovel and went up to the ground platform.
Years of weathering and erosion have left the soil platform no longer in its original appearance, and some plants have grown on it. Fortunately, it has not been artificially damaged in the unmanned area, so the original appearance can be roughly seen.
Standing at the highest point, Zhu Yu looked at the other earthen platforms, which was indeed a line, very straight. The size and shape of these earthen platforms were exactly the same.
It's a solid reputation!
Of course, after looking at the sky, there was nothing in the middle of the earthen platform, and the solidity also ruled out the possibility of the earthen mound tomb.
Since this is the General Station, it should be the place where the Golden Horde army set out again or swore an oath.
It is basically certain that drawing a line from here to Kiev is the route for gold transport.
But the gold did not reach here, so Zhu Yu and the others had to continue walking southeast.
"Boss, come down, the target on the dirt platform is too obvious." Ran Jie went to the dirt platform and saw what Zhu Yu was looking at when he took out the map, reminding him.
Zhu Yu immediately woke up and walked down quickly. Seeing that Croa was still digging the soil and analyzing the soil, he pulled her a handful.
Croa looked at him blankly.
"Go down, it's too high, you can see us from a distance, and the goal is too obvious."
After hearing what Zhu Yu said, Croa's body suddenly shook and immediately followed him down.
Qin Fei and Cao Dalong looked around with telescopes, excluding suspicious points one by one.
After going down, he found a flat place, Zhu Yu spread out the map, and Ran Jie helped to align the map with the present place.
Fortunately, the local map is very clear, and this earthen platform is considered a landmark and is marked very clearly.
After getting along, Zhu Yu took out his pen and drew a line from the earth platform to Kiev, and then said:
"The line from here to Kiev is the target line we are looking for. Of course, it may also be on both sides of the line, or it may be further away. But that's the general direction."
At least one step closer to the correct goal and have a rough direction.
The two of them also knew exactly what to look for. When they found the General Station, the four of them basically understood.
After all, I saw it once in Zhaosu and was prepared, so when I saw it here, they knew very well that it was probably impossible for locals to create a point-of-size station.
First, the customs are different and impossible; second, the problem of manpower is not like Greece and Rome, nor Egypt, or such civil engineering is not necessary or developed.
It was only the Golden Horde that fought to Poland at that time.
This time Zhu Yu was in English, and Cloa understood it, but she didn't.
She pulled Zhu Yu's arm and asked:
"Why are you so sure?"
Now he is a teammate, and Zhu Yu has no intention of finding something and taking it alone. He pointed to the Tutai and explained:
"This is called Dian Zhengtai, which is where the army counts the soldiers and generals vow to set off when they set out for war."
"So what?" Croa was a little confused. He hadn't studied the history of China much and did not know what it means to do the station.
"Only a large-scale army can create such a general.
The existence of these things means that the army of the Golden Horde was stationed here at that time. Then the destination for the Duchy of Kiev Rus to send gold should be here."
Combined with what Zhu Yu said before, Croa understood and the route was determined!
Her eyes looked at Zhu Yu with some admiration.
I entered the industry earlier than Zhu Yu, but in this regard, I feel that I am much worse than Zhu Yu.
Of course, this is the halo of a life-saving benefactor. In addition, Zhu Yu absorbed so much energy and his temperament changed greatly. He belonged to the kind of person who would be granted the body when he saved him.
Otherwise, I will be a cow and a horse in the next life.
When Zhu Yu saw her gaze, he immediately explained:
"Because the Golden Horde was considered a vassal state of the Yuan Empire of China at that time, we know a lot about their habits, which is normal."
Croa shook her head. This was abnormal. At least it showed that Zhu Yu was a good child when he was in school.
"Okay, let's adjust the route and go south next."
Zhu Yu put away the map and determined the direction.
With a goal, you will naturally act much faster and everyone will be in a good mood.
With the help of Tianyan, Zhu Yu was sure that he was on the right path.
Because along the way, you can see a lot of things underground, including armor fragments, arrows, bones, etc.
Moreover, the area where these things are distributed is relatively gentle, suitable for walking and horse running.
Going further to both sides, there are almost no such "remains".
After all, there are not many traces of human beings stepping on the ground here, and this has been the case since ancient times.
Then we arrived at the riverside.
Fortunately, Cao Dalong and Qin Fei took out the folded inflatable raft from their backpack and turned on the inflatable.
The thing is not big, but it's okay for two or three people to go up.
After finding a relatively gentle place, Ran Jie and Qin Fei went there first, Zhu Yu and Cao Dalong used guns to cover them.
After confirming that there was no danger, Ran Jie and Qin Fei took out their guns to cover them, and Zhu Yu and the other two boarded the raft and took a raft to the other side.
Put away the raft and the gun, and the five people rested on the other side.
Because it is closer to the national border, there is no fire and convenience food.
After eating, Zhu Yu was responsible for finding the way. After walking about a kilometer, Zhu Yu stopped.
A swamp appeared in front of it.
This should be a wetland that is born from the lake. The water is not very deep, but there are piles of grass inside and dark green water plants like messy.
"You can't get close to it, it's easy to get stuck here." Zhu Yu reminded others.
However, judging from the traces, it turns out that this place is indeed the direction the army has marched.
In the swamp, there were some bones and complete armor.
This should be the one who got caught in it at that time.
"Boss, how can we go?" Looking at the swamp, Ran Jie and others could only ask.
"Go around." There is no good idea.
If you go around, you have to walk several kilometers more.
But this is a must.
He said this, and the others naturally had no objection.
After about three kilometers, Zhu Yu stopped.
He found that he had gone around, and the original "remains" did not go around much, but there were ruts in the nearby swamp where he was walking around.
Underwater.
The average water depth of this swamp is about less than one meter, but the silt below is more than one meter deep, and there is still nearly two meters.
But in a certain part of the swamp, the geology is relatively hard and there is no silt, so there are marks. It can be seen barely.
Is the swamp in the past not as large as it is now?
