The Silk Road in those years fed 36 countries in the western regions. This western night market is the ancient place of the Western night country.
The black tuyere was the most important pass in the West night country and the necessary pass on the south line of the silk road.
Most of the domestic financial source of Xiye is the tariff of heifengguan.
Everyone who passes here must pay a certain tariff. At that time, the silk road was the main channel of foreign trade. A large number of vendors came and went here every year, and the tax was absolutely considerable.
When the little princess said the place name, Xiao Yan compared the northwest chronicles he had seen these days and found that his mother's black tuyere was too dilapidated, right?
Think about the records in the book, the south side of the black tuyere is close to the Peacock River, with constant water source, which is a rare oasis. On the north side is the famous Liusha Bay. When the wind blows at ordinary times, it can be seen that the sand flows down from high places, just like water.
However, this Peacock River and a Liusha Bay are not scenery, but a black tuyere, which is also the natural barrier of the West night country.
Quicksand Bay is full of quicksand pits. If you fall in, you can't live.
The current of the Peacock River seems gentle, but if you go in, you will be trapped by silt and can't get out alive at all.
These two barriers have ensured the foundation of Xiye kingdom for hundreds of years, and even made this small country with only 3000 families gradually develop into an influential power in the western regions.
But then the Peacock River changed its course, the water source disappeared into the ground, and the Loulan disappeared. Where is the West night country!
"Let's take a detour and don't waste time." Xiao Yan said simply.
But the little princess shook her head and said, "there are countless traps in liushawan on the north side. Even SUVs can swallow them. We must not go from there."
"What about the riverbed of the Peacock River in the south? There has been no water there for a long time. It should have been filled with sand and soil very early?" Xiao Yan looked to the south.
The little princess still shook her head and said: "The undulating sand mountains on both sides of the black tuyere are not formed by sand piles, but because real mountains are buried under the sand. In the past, there were lush trees and mountains, but later they were covered by wind and sand. However, the continuous sand mountain blocked the wind and sand. Up to now, the riverbed of the Peacock River is not completely covered. The above layers are stacked and the soil is loose. Don't go in by off-road vehicles Think of it. "
Xiao Yan didn't believe it. He took out his night vision telescope and looked into the distance. He didn't see very clearly.
Yue Wuyou quickly jumped into the car, operated on the roof for a while, and a strong light shone in the past.
With this light, Xiao Yan's telescope also saw a large area clearly.
Sure enough, the riverbed fluctuates constantly. In some places, the sand layer is layer by layer, but on the vast riverbed, there are piles of sand ups and downs.
Xiao Yan was stunned. Along the way, it was the most typical Yadan landform in the desert, that is, wind erosion landform. Unless it was eroded by water and sand.
This landform has few mounds and more flat and hard ground. Let go and let off-road vehicles run.
But the landform on the riverbed stunned him. What the fuck is this landform.
"This is a salt shell landform, unique to Lop Nur. It should not have been formed here, but because the flow rate of Kongque River in this section is very slow, and the sunshine is enough, the environment is slightly similar to Lop Nur..." the little princess explained.
Salt crust landform? Because the salt layer is too thick, it is hot, dirty and cold, so it forms a salt cone. When it is wrapped by wind and sand, it becomes small graves.
When an off-road vehicle drives up, it may not get out if it gets lost or has no road. Moreover, there are heavy vehicles in it. Once the salt layer collapses, it may sink in and not get out.
I can't go around either side. It seems that I will finally fall on the road directly ahead, that is, in this minefield.
This is a minefield of about 100 meters. The mines are not dense, but there should be dozens. If they are demolished on site, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time.
Xiao Yan turned around and shouted, "where's the demining expert? Is there a rocket detonator? Give it to me!"
"Report to the general. The demining expert was stunned and looked at Yue Wuyou in surprise. Seeing Xiao Yan's asking eyes, he quickly nodded.
In other words, Yue Wuyou is right. It is mainly mine jumping and ordinary mines.
The other side has no rules for burying, which shows that they are also very anxious when burying, and using only these anti infantry mines is obviously to delay time.
Another possibility is to signal No. 8 mine not far away.
Once it blows up here, the sound will spread far and wide in the desert at night, and the other party will hear it immediately.
Some time has been wasted since the explosion. Xiao Yan knows that he must pass here immediately.
Suddenly, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, turned and shouted to the people: "everyone back, at least 30 meters away."
"What are you doing?" Yue Wuyou stepped forward and pressed Xiao Yan's arm. At this time, he didn't care who got it. He paused and said, "I'm fast. Let me come!"
Xiao Yan shook her head and said, "can you pass me quickly? Here, only I can complete this task. Now there is no time, don't be a mother. Back off!"
With that, Xiao Yan pushed Yue Wuyou back.
The fat man was silly and didn't know what was going on. The little princess next to him had noticed and was about to come forward, but she was pulled by Koizumi Sally.
In the crowd's startled cry, Xiao Yan stamped his foot fiercely, and his body was like an arrow off the string, running out towards the minefield.
He decided to go to thunder!
