Several attacks on the city were unsuccessful. Not to mention entering the city to plunder, even the city gates were now inaccessible!
In addition, since last night, the food and grass supplies have been completely cut off, which made the soldiers in the entire army camp complain and complain again and again.
"Damn it! I came here just to have a bite to eat. Now I'm fine. I've exerted my strength and sold my life! I'm done with the food!"
In the corner of the camp, a dark-faced man wearing tattered leather armor was lying on the ground, chewing a wheat stalk that had not yet headed, and muttering to the people around him with an unhappy face.
"Shh, keep your voice down."
Beside him, an older middle-aged man's face changed when he heard the black-faced man's words. He quickly looked around cautiously, and when he found that no one was around, he whispered a reminder: "Be careful, the King of Heaven will listen to you." !”
"Nonsence!"
Unexpectedly, it was okay if the middle-aged man didn't say this, but when he mentioned this, the black-faced man became even more angry!
I saw him sitting up from the ground with a sudden movement, spitting out the straw in his mouth, and said cursingly:
"What kind of bullshit Heavenly King! He's just pretending to be a ghost! We're just ignorant, and we're not stupid! If he really is that kind of Heavenly King, how can we be protected by the divine bird and phoenix? How can we still be burned to pieces one after another? Fooling the fool at the head of the village You’re not even that fooled!!”
"Hey! You! Can't you keep your voice down?" The middle-aged man was startled by the black-faced man's actions. By the time he reacted, the man's words had successfully attracted the attention of a group of people around him! The middle-aged man was so frightened that he winked at him anxiously!
But the black-faced man was so nervous at this moment that he couldn't care about anything else.
Seeing that the people around him were paying attention, he suddenly became more energetic, waving his arms, pointing to the sky and the earth, spitting and saying to those around him:
"Just him? What kind of king or Phoenix Army? What he says is better than what he sings. In fact, it's just to fool us! There used to be a group of beards on the hilltop of my family! The name they gave me back then was even more domineering. What's it called? ...It seems to be King Jingzun, the Holy Emperor of Fatian!
As a result, these bearded men had only been roaming around in the mountains for a few days when a group of government officials raided their lair! When they were taken to the market entrance to have their heads chopped off, I also went to see what the king was so scared that he wet his pants!
When his head was cut off, it was snatched away by a wild dog. Thinking about it now, it is a pity that such a good black dog was beaten to death and then thrown into a mass grave, not stewed. To eat meat..."
At this point, the black-faced man drooled. Hey, there's nothing I can do, he's hungry! When I think of food, my thoughts fly over involuntarily!
If someone brought him a dog now, let alone one that had eaten human flesh, he would boil the water in the pot without hesitation!
Tsk tsk, the dog meat rolls three times, even the gods can’t stand still...
As if he had seen the beautiful scene of dog meat being cooked, the black-faced man subconsciously closed his eyes and sniffed it affectionately.
However, the scent of dog meat was not smelled, but the smell of fishy sweat floated in the air.
"who?"
Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, the black-faced man suddenly opened his eyes! Look ahead!
In front of him, the middle-aged man with whom he was in love has long since disappeared! And those people who had just gathered together to watch the excitement turned their backs, either looking at the sky or pretending to sleep, as if they were not the ones who had just started making noises.
"No! Behind!"
Seeing this scene, the black-faced man's heart dropped instantly!
As he turned his neck little by little and looked behind him, several tall and thick men with their arms folded slowly came into view.
"Say, why don't you say anything!" Seeing the black-faced man turning his head to look at him in a funny posture, a man behind him snorted, and then kicked the man with his toes: "Didn't you just say you were working hard? What?"
"I..." The black-faced man muttered like he was in mourning, his lips pursed, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time. How could he still have the energy to point out the country just now?
"Stop talking? Just come with us if you don't say anything!" When the two people next to him saw this, they rushed forward, grabbed the black-faced man from the ground, and dragged him out like a dead dog. !
The man who was still standing there with his arms folded slowly glanced around and shouted in a cold voice: "Please polish your skills and stop talking useless nonsense! The King of Heaven said that before the sun sets today, We will definitely break through Ningzhou City. When the time comes, you will have enough white rice, so feel free to eat it!
As for anyone who doesn’t believe it, the gate to the military camp is open now and you can leave at any time! But along the way, you have also seen the situation here. The court is unruly, and natural and man-made disasters are everywhere! Anyone who is not afraid of starving to death on the way can leave the camp! "
"Ahem, the general is joking, why are we having second thoughts?"
"We are born as soldiers of the Phoenix Army, and die as the Phoenix Army's ghosts! In this life, we will die in this army!"
"That's right, let alone just a few meals, even if we starve to death, we won't leave!"
I don’t know whether he was frightened by the fate of the black-faced man, or whether he really thought he would starve to death on the road after leaving the military camp.
A group of surrounding soldiers who were pretending to be asleep stopped pretending when they heard this. They all jumped up and rushed to express their loyalty to these people.
——————————————————————
"King of Heaven, according to your order, everyone has been captured! The remaining people are now as honest as quails, they don't even dare to let go of a fart, let alone run away..."
In the Chinese army's tent, a man whose face was so blackened by smoke that he looked like a black-faced man was standing in the tent, flatteringly reporting to Li Zhen, who was a few steps back.
Needless to say, this person is none other than Li Shi!
Speaking of which, he is also very lucky!
After being assigned to the vanguard team, he attacked the city several times and rushed to the front. Most of his subordinates and companions were almost dead, but he survived every time.
Even if he was bombarded by unscrupulous people, his face would only be blackened, but his body would not be harmed at all.
Of course, Li Shi also knew that the goddess of luck could not always favor him. After all, he was not the one who was supported by others.
He was even prepared: next time he attacked the city, he would die under the enemy's terrifying weapons!
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Li Zhen suddenly thought of him again, and with a wave of his hand, he recalled him to his side.
Therefore, when he learned that he had been re-activated by the head of the family and finally no longer had to die, Li Shi was immediately overjoyed and without even wiping his face, he went to carry out the first order he received: arrest people!
As for why after catching these people, they did not kill them, but only stripped off their leather armor and imprisoned them together?
Li Shi didn't even ask any more questions!
