The ancient city is lost in white mist, and the first sunshine shines on the high forest!
As soon as dawn broke, Li Han took Li Rui and Li Cong out of the camp and rushed to the military camp below the city.
The two brothers still rode the same two draft horses, but their costumes were completely new.
Armor, helmets, spears, longbows... This is the standard equipment of Li Wenxiao's Guards Battalion. The two brothers used the white linen armor, blue iron swords, etc. to get them from Li Han.
What a pity for that thousand-mile horse.
Afraid of leaving hidden dangers, the two brothers secretly took some medicine, and the good BMW collapsed, as if it had been ridden by a fat man...
Touching the white armor on his body and the steel knife in his hand, Li Han was overjoyed. The more he looked at the two brothers, the more he liked them.
"Don't worry, you two. The position of leader of the team you are waiting for has been personally appointed by the general. No one dares to bully you in the camp... Moreover, my brother is the commander of the first brigade, so he will look after your two brothers...
…”
What I want is your words!
The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Li Han is a camp official, don't forget that his brothers are still Li Wenxiao's close servants.
Just like the eunuchs around the emperor, even if they have a low position, everyone still needs to give them three points of thin noodles, which is most suitable for pulling tiger skins to make banners.
As long as he says it was appointed by Li Wenxiao, who can go to confront Li Wenxiao?
Naturally, they all thought it was true...
While saying compliments, the two brothers accompanied Li Han and walked slowly down to the city.
The further we go, the more people there are and the campground becomes more and more messy.
Both sides of the official road are full of unruly people. Most of them don't even have shacks with roofs. They just make a nest on the ground and spread a handful of hay to provide a place to live.
Some have not yet stood up, while others are carrying a broken earthen pot and placing it on two rocks, cooking something unknown.
As the mist from the broken jar drifted in, a strange fragrance drifted into the nose. But then it was washed away by a stench.
What kind of weird smell is this, like a dead mouse?
Just as the two brothers were wondering, there was a noise in the distance, and then there was a commotion.
They looked up and saw that several monks were leading a group of monks to distribute something to the mob.
"General, what are they dividing?" Li Cong asked subconsciously.
"What else could it be?" Li Han took out a silk scarf and covered his nose: "Vegetables..."
Vegetables?
The two brothers were stunned at first, and then their expressions changed drastically.
...Fuck you...
The two brothers' eyes bulged out and they almost vomited out the porridge they just drank in the morning.
Li Han glanced at them with pity, as if to say: Just take your time, where are you going?
After walking a little further, they saw clearly how the monk divided the meat. The two brothers were so frightened that they saw a row of wooden frames with numerous dead bodies hanging on them...
Under the shelf is a pit about three feet long, filled with dark red blood that will not even coagulate...
Looking to the side, I saw a huge corpse pit filled with skeletons. Even in the foggy early morning, there were still countless flies flying around, and there were still visible corpses in the eye sockets of many heads.
To the tumbling white maggots.
The smell like dead mice they smelled before came from here.
There was no trace of blood on the faces of the two brothers, and they immediately leaned over the horse and vomited wildly.
I have never seen such a scene since I was a child, but I have never heard of it...
Just after spitting out a few mouthfuls, I suddenly heard a cold shout from Li Han: "Draw the knife..."
Li Rui and Li Cong looked up and found that the road was blocked?
Countless mobs gathered around the official road, staring fiercely at them and the horses under their crotches...
The two brothers finally understood what would happen to a person once he is hungry.
The beggars I see in daily life are thinner, worse dressed, and have dirty faces and bodies.
But what I saw in front of me were all like hungry wolves, with a bright red light in their eyes and water flowing from their mouths. They seemed to be able to rush over immediately and swallow them alive...
The two brothers suppressed their will and quickly drew out their sabers.
Although it is made of wrought iron, it is perfectly suitable for killing people.
"Aren't you an officer?" Li Rui asked in shock and anger.
"Although grandpa is an officer, he is not Liu Huiwang's officer..."
Li Han cursed angrily, held a knife in one hand, reached into his arms with the other, took out a token, and hit a monk who was standing aside to watch the fun, and said with a cold smile: "We are waiting for you."
It's the general who leads the front guard, if you're brave enough, come..."
Seeing the token, the monk's expression changed slightly.
Not every monk believes Liu Huiwang’s words to be true, thinking that eating the vegetables and meat will lead to a blissful life...
The monk didn't want to kill anyone, but he was frightened by hunger and wanted to force the three officials to keep the horse. Who knew he would encounter a tough problem?
After hesitating for a long time, the monk reluctantly snorted: "Get out of the way!"
The mob was still a little reluctant, so several monks rushed into the crowd and killed them.
Following a burst of screams, a path was suddenly cleared.
Li Cong watched with his own eyes as the monks hung the newly killed rebels on the wooden frame...
This is not a human being, he is simply worse than a beast. No wonder Lang Jun has issued a strict order to kill every one he sees...
"Why is the chaos like this?" Li Ruicai asked with lingering fear after he was far away from the chaos.
Li Han is wearing Zhajia, and he looks like a high-ranking officer at first glance, but these monks stop him whenever he wants and rob him whenever he wants?
It feels like Liu Huiwang’s men don’t take Li Wenxiao seriously at all...
"Once a person is hungry and crazy, how can he still have reason?"
Li Han's face also turned a little pale: "I passed by here a few days ago, but I didn't see anything like this! It must be that Liu Huiwang doesn't have much food in his hands anymore, and even the monks and officials have stopped eating?"
No food?
It turns out that the rebels did not use the people to provide food from the beginning?
The two brothers turned from surprise to joy.
What a great thing...
If it can only be maintained in this way, how much morale can such an army have?
As soon as Lang Jun's army arrives, I'm afraid they will collapse in a rush...
……
After walking for almost half an hour, we arrived at Li Hao's camp.
About a hundred feet ahead is the city wall. Looking as far as the eye can see, you can even see the guards on the city.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Looking further down, we can see that the four to five-foot-long city wall has been buried half deep. An earth slope more than ten feet wide extends from under the wall, about a hundred feet long, and can reach the front of the military camp.
There are many dead bodies along the road, and the closer you get to the city wall, the more corpses there are. Most of them have arrows stuck in their bodies.
Many were half-buried in the soil, with their hands and feet pointing straight to the sky, seeming to express their grievances.
They finally knew what Li Han meant by detaining refugees to carry soil to fill the city.
It was obvious that we couldn't attack for a long time, so we tried to build a way out of the flat ground, and it was extremely effective: if we let it go on like this, sooner or later we would be able to build it as high as the city head...
The two brothers were overjoyed.
They were still worrying about how to get close to the city wall and shoot letters into the city, but they didn't expect that the fat man's brother would actually do this?
God is really helping me...
The two suppressed their joy and followed Li Han towards the camp.
It's said to be a military camp, but how many soldiers are there?
Most of them are like the refugees I have seen on the road. They are all in ragged clothes and skinny. Their eyes are hollow and numb, as if they have lost sight of life and death.
When they entered, they saw the gang leader soldiers distributing food. There were ten soldiers in a group, two of them were serving, and the remaining eight were holding knives in their hands, staring eagerly at the refugees rushing towards them.
You could tell what was inside by smelling the smell. The two brothers couldn't bear to look any further, but secretly gritted their teeth: Even if they eat food like this, they still want to snatch it?
After finally walking to the camp, a group of officers were also eating.
A tall, thick-set man who looked somewhat like Fatty was leading seven or eight military commanders, drinking porridge around a pot.
The two brothers took a look.
There was little water in the clear soup in the pot, mostly vegetable leaves, not a few grains of rice, and the general was holding bean cakes.
This thing is so thick and hard that it can’t even be chewed. It can only be soaked in soup and eaten, but it is still something that can be eaten...
The two brothers looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
If we let them eat vegetables and meat, we might as well give it a try...
……
I don’t know how Li Han explained it to Li Hao. After Li Han left, Li Hao lost his previous scrutiny and became much warmer.
"You two have done a great service to me, the Li family, and you have been a life-saving benefactor to my second brother. I will not neglect you two... In the future, you will obey orders well under me, and you will definitely not be short-changed in your contribution...
…”
The two brothers bowed down with a look, and made a formal bow: "Of course I only obey the general's orders..."
After raising his head, Li Rui winked at Li Cong, took a step closer to Li Hao, and said with a smile:
"I came here in a hurry, but I don't have anything to offer? I only have a few taels of copper collars left with me, so I presented them to the general as a meeting gift. I hope you don't dislike him!"
With that said, Li Cong opened his clothes and took out four palm-sized copper plates.
It was hidden in the sole of the shoe before, but the two brothers secretly took it out last night when no one was around, just to use it at this time.
Li Hao glanced at the two brothers in surprise.
Li Han said that the two brothers were courageous and knowledgeable, had read books, served as soldiers, killed people, and were very clever. He only thought that they were flattering because they saved Li Tao.<
/p>
Unexpectedly, he is really clever.
It seems that Lao Wu has also taken advantage of others. The white armor on his body and the blue knife on his waist should be donated by this brother.
Not to mention, for Li Hao, giving money is much more useful than giving away knives and armor.
Li Rui and Li Cong were also tricked out of Li Han, knowing that Li Hao has always been greedy for money...
Li Hao's eyes flashed, he stared at the two brothers and asked: "Where did you two get these things?"
Li Rui answered without revealing anything: "Same as the sword armor, it was stolen from the white-armored officer killed outside Anwu City..."
"Okay, okay..."
Li Hao reached out and took the copper collar. After weighing it for a moment, he realized that it was not just a few taels, but several kilograms.
He didn't even think about why the two brothers gave him so much money. He just thought they were asking for some benefit from him. He asked with a smile, "Is there anything I, Mr. Li, can do? You two can just speak up..." Li Rui solemnly clasped his fists, and showed a hint of embarrassment: "Before coming here, my brothers really didn't know what the situation was like in this camp... and I have no other wish, I just ask... I just ask for every
Today, I can eat with the general..."
"So you're afraid of eating meat and vegetables?"
Li Hao laughed: "Don't worry, if I, Li, take one bite, I will never break up the two of you..."
Li Cong then said: "General, please do it for your convenience. If there is a war, my brother can also make some contributions..."
"It's easy to say!" Li Hao patted his chest, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to fight when you get to the city?"
He had a smile on his face, but he was scornful in his heart: He really doesn’t know how to live or die, how can he take credit so easily?
But he didn't suspect anything at all, because Li Han told him that the two brothers were probably two official fans.
Otherwise, why don't you leave the general's guard battalion alone and come to this city?
Do you really think of this team leader as an official?
……
Beiying, handsome tent!
Li Wenxiao was sitting in the hall, neatly dressed, as if waiting for someone.
Li Shi, the deputy of the Guards, looked at his sallow face and blood-filled eyes, and said worriedly: "General, if you don't sleep for a while, if the Dharma King comes to summon you, will I call you again because of my humble duty?"
Sleep?
Li Wenxiao smiled miserably.
Are you afraid that you won’t have time to sleep in the future?
Throughout the night, as long as he closed his eyes for a moment, the scene of his entire family being led to the guillotine with their heads rolling would appear in his mind.
Otherwise, the white armor is like clouds, like falling from the sky, suddenly attacking the city...
It wasn't until the sky was getting brighter that the fast horse sent by Li Chun came to report that he had escorted several of his disciples to Wuzhi and would rush to Gaoping Town after packing up. He felt a little more at ease.
This is considered the last retreat. At least the three tribes will not be wiped out and their bloodline will be cut off...
How did we get to this point?
Thinking about it at this time, Li Wenxiao suddenly realized: Although the Wei Dynasty was in chaos, it was far from the point of changing dynasties.
With just a specious prophecy, I got excited and embarked on this road of no return...
Forget it, what's the use of regrets?
He shook his head and looked outside the hall again.
After asking Li Tao last night, he sent someone to report the news of Anwu City's destruction to Liu Huiwang, thinking that Liu Huiwang would urgently summon him overnight to discuss the matter.
But who would have thought that it was already three shots in the day and there was still no movement?
I am afraid that if Anwu is lost, he will be lost. At least there are Quail Gu and Wu Zhi. Moreover, the city of Jingzhou is about to be destroyed. When the time comes, we will need food and troops...
Then Li Chengzhi can wait until you conquer Jingzhou before attacking?
Why did you choose such a fool in the first place?
Li Wenxiao regretted and wanted to vomit blood...
There is no point regretting it. Even if you know it is a dead end, you can only bite the bullet and go down.
But who would have thought that even if he wanted to fight to the death, he might not be able to do so...
For a moment, Li Wenxiao lost all hope, his eyes blurred, and he seemed to be unable to sit still.
"General?" Li Shi exclaimed and hurriedly supported him.
"Hahaha, it's ridiculous that I, Li Wenxiao, have been wise for half my life..." Li Wenxiao laughed nervously twice, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, "That's all, it's just this old life, so what if I give it to Li Chengzhi?" He gritted his teeth fiercely, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "Li Shi, go and make arrangements to mobilize all the clan troops..."
Before the rest of the words were finished, an urgent message was heard from outside the tent: "General, the white-armored soldiers...the white-armored soldiers are attacking, with guns like clouds..."
