Part One Chapter Eleven Between Friends and Enemies 3
[69 Book Bar - www.] I said: "I have six cards which are enough. I will give them the remaining four cards."
Jin Qianshi said: "Commander, do you have enough?"
I smiled and said, "I don't seem to be a big fan yet." In the past, Bai Wei and Hong Polygonum followed me, and I had to give them a few pieces a day. I could eat six pieces a day, which was enough for me.
These four pieces of cake were divided among more than 300 people. Of course, they would not get much, but at least they could boost the morale of the army. Jin Qianshi said: "That's good. I have eight pieces of cake every day, and I also take out two. General Wu, Yu
General, what about you?"
Wu Wanling and Yu Dai said: "General Jin is right, we are the same."
At this time, I couldn't help it any longer and burst out laughing. They looked at each other and said they had said something wrong. I laughed so hard that I was almost out of breath and said, "Others only thought we were here."
If you know that we are talking about military aircraft in such a serious way, it will save ten pieces of cake and not make them laugh out loud."
They were startled, and then they couldn't help laughing.
Jin Qianshi smiled and said: "Damn it, we have a pile of treasures, we can be considered a small rich man when we return to the imperial capital, but now we are like beggars with nothing to eat."
He has become familiar with me, and he has begun to speak casually, unlike when I first joined the Dragon Scale Army, he always spoke to me respectfully.
Although he said this in a joke, we couldn't help but be silent. Food is the lifeblood of the army. If there is a shortage of food, then there is no need to talk about defending the city. We have been besieging the city for three months, and we have also seen the tragic scene of people cannibalizing each other in Gaojiu City.
Passed. Could it be that the tide has turned and it will be our turn?
After a long while, Wu Wanling said: "Commander, what do snake people eat?"
His words were also understated, just to divert the conversation, but Jin Qianshi was suddenly shocked. I saw his expression was different and said, "General Jin, what's wrong?"
Jin Qianshi said: "Commander, what do snake people eat?"
His words seemed to be repeating Wu Wanling's words, but his tone was very unusual. I raised my head and saw him and Wu Wanling. Yu Dai and the other three looked at me with burning eyes. I said slowly: "Yes, what do they eat?"
"
The number of snake people is probably over one hundred thousand. No matter how hungry they are, they still have to eat, so they must have a huge baggage camp. If we can burn their baggage, then
If the Snake people don't have food and grass, the siege will be broken immediately. When I looked at them, they must have thought of this, and their faces glowed with brilliance.
I asked: "Are there any snake-man corpses outside the city?"
Jin Qianshi already understood what I meant, and he said: "General Luan and General Chai fought hard today, leaving hundreds of snake-man corpses outside the city, and many of them are still outside the city."
The Snakemen also cleaned the battlefield after the war, but they did not dare to collect the Snakeman corpses under the city. There were still many left there. The soldiers of the right army were cleaning the battlefield, piling the Snakeman corpses into piles and burning them. Then
A huge siege vehicle was also dragged into the city. If such a huge piece of wood was brought back to the capital, the emperor would probably be very happy and make it into the pillars of the palace. Before Wu Hou's southern expedition, the emperor was building a large-scale construction project by the Tianhe River.
Changle Palace was built as a palace for autumn hunting. But now, it can only stay here, not knowing what use it can be used for.
The four of us walked to the edge of the city. Jin Qianshi called two soldiers patrolling the city and asked them to bring two ropes. He and Yu Dai lowered themselves down the city and picked up a snake that had just died in the battle today.
For the human corpse, one tied the head and the other tied the tail. After tying them up, they pulled them up.
Jin Qianshi and Yu Dai also went up to the city. As soon as Jin Qianshi came up, he said: "Commander, come on." I nodded, took out the Baipi Sword from my waist, and said: "You guys hold on."
They straightened the body of the snake man, with its belly facing upwards. The snake man was covered with soft armor. I cut the rope that tied the soft armor, and couldn't help but frown and said, "These soft armors fit very well, and they look like they are taking care of the snake."
The human body is custom-made. Do snake people do this too?"
They didn't say anything. Probably, no one knew what was going on.
The snake man's belly is blue-white, with only some tiny scales. Unlike the back, the scales are almost like armor. The snake man's neck was chopped to pieces, and his head was almost chopped off.
Come down, there is still a slender tongue hanging out of the mouth. I inserted the Baipi knife under the neck of the snake man's corpse, and pulled hard. The sharp blade was like cutting through the soft mud, and the snake man's corpse was like a suitcase.
Same, open it from it.
As soon as I opened it, I felt a stench rushing up. I was the first to bear the brunt, and I almost felt sick. I turned my head to the side to let the stench steam up, but I heard them all scream.
I turned around and saw the three of them staring at the snake man's belly, their faces turning pale, as if they had been enchanted by something.
What happened? I lowered my head and saw clearly what was in the snake man's belly. When I saw it, I couldn't help but feel frightened.
In the belly of the snake man were some dark purple pieces of flesh, including a hand and some hair. The most terrifying thing was that among these pieces of flesh, there was a human head!
The skin of this man's head was like flour that had been burned by boiling water, with a pile of bumps and bumps. The eyelids were rotten, but the two eyeballs were protruding, and you could still see the endless fear in his eyes.
After a long while, Yu Dai panicked and said: "They... they eat people!"
Although I also knew that snake people can eat people, I never expected that they cannibalize people for a living. Looking at the mess of bones and carrion in the snake people's stomach, I couldn't help but feel sick, and I wiped the knife on the snake body.
I wiped it and took it back into the sheath, thinking that I must wash it well with wine afterward.
At this time, there was a sudden noise from the east. From such a distance, I could only hear the noise. I took advantage of the situation and turned around and said, "What happened?"
Jin Qianshi said: "I don't know, it seems to be the east gate. Could it be that the snake people are attacking?"
I frowned. Now I don’t dare to leave Ximen without receiving orders from General Wuhou. I said, “Just wait.”
Jin Qianshi called a few soldiers and threw the snake man's body into the fire and burned it. He clapped his hands and said, "Don't let anything happen."
The noise is getting louder and louder, and it is getting closer. Now you can tell that it is a cry. Listening to the sound, it is very rhythmic, and it is not a scream of panic. What can be so happy? Did Wu Hou say that
Did the food arrive a day early?
We stood at the top of the city, unable to contain our curiosity, wanting to know what was going on.
The shouts were getting closer, and it was clear that they were indeed not exclamations, but cheers. Jin Qianshi said, "Let me go and have a look."
He went up to the archery tower with the telescope and took a look. I said, "General Jin, what is going on?"
Jin Qianshi poked his head out from the arrow tower and said, "We can't see clearly, but there is a troop of soldiers and horses walking towards the Chinese army."
To the Chinese Army? I frowned. Without the general's orders, who would dare to send troops to the Chinese Army? Besides, what is there to cheer about?
Suddenly, something flashed in my mind and I shouted: "General Jin, do those troops have a flag?"
Yu Dai suddenly said from the side: "Is it General Lu?"
