The moment the fire ignites! Li Zhenkankan, who was lagging behind, led his army into the city gate!
But not before he felt ecstatic about finally being able to enter the city! But he saw the raging fire rising into the sky first!
In an instant, Li Zhen's heart fell from the height to the abyss of the earth again!
"Why is the city on fire?"
"There's an ambush!"
The counselors around me yelled in horror! There are even people who desperately want to run out of the city gate!
However, they did not wait for how far they ran.
Ahead, in the open space in the city!
The fire that burst into flames quickly extinguished like a flash in the pan.
In the blink of an eye, most of the fire that spread nearly a hundred steps disappeared, and in the end, only scattered corpses and piles of sacks in the middle were left, still burning tirelessly in the night!
"No, it's not an ambush! This is them burning food!"
Seeing this strange scene, Li Shi's pupils shrank. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that when he entered the city, he shouted on the city top that the food should be burned!
Combined with the piles of sacks in front of us, aren't they the sacks used to hold grain? !
Thinking of this, Li Shi finally reacted and immediately jumped to his feet and shouted: "Quick! Put out the fire quickly! That's food! It's food!"
"Ah? Food!"
"Quickly put out the fire! Hurry up and put out the fire!"
"Water! Find water to put out the fire!"
"Ah? Where is the water here?"
For a moment, the rebels who heard Li Shi's words were all excited!
They haven't eaten all day! Nowadays, when I see wood, I want to take a bite. How can I watch the food in my hand being burned in vain?
So after the shock, all the soldiers were like headless flies, desperately looking for tools to put out the fire!
At this time, no one thought about the burnt comrades on the ground. Countless people rushed to the grain pile like locusts!
Some took off their clothes and beat them with their clothes!
There were also those who used their knives as shovels and struggled to shovel mud onto the burning sacks!
There was even one who couldn't find water anywhere, so he took off his pants and was about to pee to put out the fire!
However, this person has not yet waited for the mood to brew up and prepare to open the floodgates and release the water.
A big foot from behind had already kicked his butt hard! He kicked him forward two steps and almost fell into the fire, burning his thing into a roasted bird.
"Idiot! This is food! Who told you to pee!" Li Shi, who rushed over, glared at the guy who was using his hands and feet and crawled away in fear and yelled!
But this guy who was almost qualified to be a eunuch in the palace looked aggrieved after leaving the fire.
As long as we can save food, what's the point of getting wet with urine? Wouldn’t you still eat it even after washing? It’s better than not being able to eat and starving to death, right?
Of course, he didn't dare to say this now. Li Shi in front of him looked very angry! If he did, he might get angry and throw himself into the fire and burn him too.
In the dark, these "food piles" were on fire!
They were originally flammable materials, and when they were doused with fire oil, the fire jumped up to five or six feet high under the night sky, illuminating the surrounding area as if it were daytime!
However, no matter how big the fire is, it can't hold back tens of thousands of people rushing to put out the fire!
In just a moment, the raging fire was extinguished!
Some burned and blackened grain was also scattered out from the tattered sacks and scattered among the ashes.
"This is food?!"
Looking at the scattered food, a soldier in the crowd suddenly let out a strange cry and jumped forward. Then he opened his bow from left to right and stuffed the black food into his mouth desperately!
Even if he grimaces after being burned, he still spits out the food!
Seeing this scene, Li Shi was stunned! At the same time, a strong sense of uncertainty quickly rose in his mind!
"Grab it!"
"Food! Food!"
Sure enough, Xiao Bing's move was like some kind of valve being opened! When other people saw this person's actions, the scene completely got out of control in just a moment!
The eyes of countless soldiers who had been hungry all day were all red! One by one, they rushed forward desperately! I’m afraid that if I fall one step behind, all the food will be eaten up by others!
As a result, the turbulent flow of people, even the big and round Li Shi, was tossed around, like a small boat in the stormy waves, unable to even stand firm!
"Don't grab, don't grab!" Li Shi shouted in the crowd, trying to stop the surging flow of people.
But as soon as his voice came out, it was drowned in the roar of people!
"Dong dong dong..."
Seeing that the situation was about to develop out of control, a sudden and rapid drum sound finally woke up the red-eyed soldiers! They all stopped fighting and looked towards the place where the drum sound came from!
over there! Li Zhenzheng, who was tightly surrounded by dozens of men in black, beat the war drum himself, one after another, making the war drum carried by two men tremble! It wasn't until the crowd stopped that the war drum in his hand stopped!
"Everyone stand back!"
Throwing the drum hammer in his hand to the man carrying the war drum, Li Zhen's eyes were like lightning, he glanced around, and then he shouted loudly: "It's just a little bit of food, so what do you do to me? From now on, whoever dares to grab food will kill anyone." !”
A murderous word "kill" was uttered, and the soldiers who were still bending over to fight for food immediately stood up straight!
Among these people, some had their mouths filled with charred food, and they were even more hurriedly swallowing it down!
It's just that the food was very dry, and when it was burned by the fire, it was not easy to swallow. I choked and rolled my eyes.
The chaotic scene finally returned to normal.
Seeing that the situation was under his control again, Li Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
If he hadn't made a decisive decision and sounded the war drum! This chaos will probably turn into a camp roar or even a mutiny. By then, everything will be over.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen's tone also softened a little. He looked around and shouted: "Don't worry! Now that we have food and have entered the city, from now on, we will not let you go hungry again!"
People from Huotou camp! Go gather all the food and cook it all! Others, follow me to find the people in Ningcheng to avenge the brothers who died in the past few days! "
"Looking for someone from Ning Cheng?"
"revenge?"
Hearing this, the other soldiers who were thinking about food suddenly realized!
yes! He has already entered the city. Aren't the hard days over? Why are you still afraid of not having anything to eat?
The top priority is not to kill all the defenders in the city and then rob the city of all its treasures and women? "
