Under the gloomy night, a large group of people were slowly heading west along the city wall of Ningzhou City, guided by the leading torches.
In the team, a muscular man with a round waist looked up at the dark night sky above his head. Suddenly he became inspired by poetry. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "The moon is dark and the wind is high. On a dark night, murder and arson..."
Unexpectedly, before he had time to say the last word "天", a slap came from nowhere and slapped him firmly on the back of the head...
"Snapped!!!"
An extremely clear sound rang out from the team, and everyone walking around heard the movement and raised their heads to look here.
The man who was beaten staggered forward a few steps. After he regained his balance, he immediately jumped up and cursed behind him:
"Ouch! Who! Who dares to hit me...ahem, General Li?"
The angry yelling and cursing suddenly stopped!
The man who had been so aggressive just now was stunned when he saw that the person who made the move turned out to be Li Shi. It was as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his head, and his anger was completely gone.
"If you keep yelling like that, I'll kill you!"
Li Shi still kept reaching out to slap people. When he saw the man lowering his head in anger, he slowly lowered his hand and snorted coldly: "Please slow down, I'm walking so fast. Is there a dog behind you?" Expelled?"
"It would be nice if there was a dog to chase us away. At least we can get a meal of dog meat!" The slapped man couldn't help but roll his eyes and muttered softly after hearing Li Shi's cold snort.
He is hungry now! Not to mention it was chased by a dog, even if it was a wolf, he would dare to rush up to it, skin it, cramp it, add salt to the pot...
"Huh? What did you say?"
The man's muttering was actually very small, but after nightfall, the surroundings were too quiet, so Li Shi still vaguely heard some sounds.
"No, it's nothing!" Seeing Li Shi's dark face again, the talkative man immediately shivered and quickly waved his hands and explained: "I mean... right! I mean, why do we have to walk slower? ?Wouldn’t it be better to walk faster and get the food faster?”
"Walk faster so you can get the food faster?"
When Li Shi heard this, he looked at the man like a fool and didn't even bother to explain!
Damn it, why is this guy stupider than me? !
Even he knows to walk slowly so that the army behind him can catch up in the dark. This idiot, he only thinks about eating!
However, what Li Shi didn't know was that he didn't actually have to worry about the large army behind him.
Because as early as when they set off, Li Zhen, who had guessed their destination, had quickly ordered the camp to be set up and the large troops to quietly move around from the rear to the west of the city.
The speed is actually a few points faster than these people.
——————————————————————
"King of Heaven, do you think that Ningzhou City is bigger than the last time we came here?"
In the same dark field, Li Fang, who had just retreated from the high slope, was riding a horse and asked Li Zhen next to him with a puzzled face.
At this time, Li Zhen was also riding a horse.
At the same time, in order not to be discovered by Ning Cheng, the hooves of all the horses in their team were wrapped in old clothes. In addition, many times, they passed through soft farmland, so there was no risk of making any noise. Alarm the people in the city.
"It's indeed a bit bigger. It should be because they built a new section of the city wall during this period!" After hearing Li Fang's question, Li Zhen subconsciously turned his head to look at the dark city wall in the distance, then sighed and slowly answered. road.
In fact, Li Zhen noticed the changes in Ning Cheng as early as when he first came here!
This place is much longer than the last time he came here. A section of city wall suddenly grew so long!
However, at that time, Li Zhen was still full of ambition and confidence.
Even if he saw some changes in Ning Cheng, he wouldn't care at all.
But later, at the gate of Ningzhou City, he was first knocked out of his spirit, and then the army ran out of food, and he was about to mutiny.
At this time, Xiao Han was so worried that he no longer cared about studying the changes in Ning Cheng.
Until now, when he heard the counselor suddenly mention the strangeness of the city wall, Li Zhen suddenly remembered: there is a newly built city wall to the west.
"Oh? Since this section of the city wall is newly built, it stands to reason that it should be empty inside. How can there be food? Is there any fraud here?" Beside her, Li Fang heard Li Zhen's answer, and her face changed. Shen asked cautiously again.
He always felt like his right eyelid was twitching today, as if something terrible was about to happen!
"Huh? Is Mr. Li Fang too cautious?"
However, just when Li Fang asked the question and before Li Zhen could answer, a young counselor's face lit up and he hurriedly spoke first!
The young counselor only came to Li Zhen in the past two years. He had never been out before and only stayed at Li's house. As a young and energetic man, he couldn't stand Li Fang's caution and timidity. He always felt that this old guy was Rely on the old and sell the old.
At this moment, the young man finally seized the opportunity in front of Li Zhen. He immediately held his riding whip excitedly, pointed at the newly built city wall from a distance and said: "King of Heaven! In my opinion, maybe they built that city wall just to store the money from Luoyang." Food shipped!
As for fraud? How can this be? Could it be that before we came to attack the city, they thought that one day they would build such a long section of the city wall in advance. Are you ready to deal with us? "
"This..." What the young man said was clear and logical. When Li Fang heard this, instead of spreading her brows, she frowned even tighter!
"You said they are preparing to stockpile food?"
Frowning and looking at the dark Ningzhou City, Li Fang didn't believe that Ningcheng had built such a large section of city wall to serve as a granary!
After all, no matter how much food is shipped from Luoyang, it will never be able to fill such a large space! You can't, but also build a Luokou warehouse here, right?
However, just when Li Fang was pondering and wanted to ask questions, Li Zhen had already coughed lightly and said decisively: "Okay, stop arguing! At this point, even if there is a trap ahead, we have only one way. It’s dark!”
Indeed, Li Zhen is right! At this point, he has absolutely no way out!
The group of people under his command have been without food for a whole day and have not eaten anything. They are already hungry and their chests are pressed against their backs!
If it weren't for the chaos and chaos outside, they would most likely die if they ran out. This huge team would have fallen apart long ago.
Therefore, don’t say that Li Zhen doesn’t know what the future holds at this moment!
Even if he knew the way forward, it would be a trap with its mouth wide open! I can only grit my teeth and bear it down!
