Chapter Seventy-Three: Rolling Dice and Gambling for Your Life
Li Xiao saw that the morale of the soldiers had risen, nodded, and said to this Nan Fengguo: "General Fengguo, do you know who commands the Spirit Army? How many battalions? How many formations? Which defense is the weakest?"
Nan Fengguo listened to Li Xiao's questions again and again, scratched his head, put the helmet on his head again, shook his head again, and said, "Back to the second uncle, but the nephew doesn't know." ”
Li Xiao also nodded and said, "When you captured these captives, were you tortured?"
Nan Fengguo nodded, and said angrily: "Tortured, this person Sanlingjun also has backbone, under severe torture, he still has a hard mouth, and I am angry and I have slashed and killed several people, but these beasts saw that I killed someone, and their mouths were even harder, there was no way, so it was the only way." ”
Li Xiao said: "Did you kill all the prisoners of war?"
Nan Fengguo nodded and said: "None of them remained, I wanted to kill all these brutes before the second uncle came, I wanted to use these prisoners of war to exchange with their army, but I also thought that they were not us, they could be like brothers and sisters with the soldiers, they may not be exchanged, so they have been kept, but I never thought of eating their meat, or the second uncle is wise." ”
Li Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Wisdom is not counted, this is also a way to no way, Fengguo, can you bring someone to catch some scouts and come back?"
Nan Fengguo nodded and said: "Although the spirit army is numerous, it is not difficult to catch some scouts, but I don't know what is the use of the second uncle catching scouts? ”
Li Xiao nodded and said, "Just go and catch it, I naturally have a way to get them to open their mouths when they are caught, go ahead." ”
Nan Fengguo nodded, personally brought some men and horses, tied them to the battlements of the city wall with ropes, and slid down the city wall along the ropes, Li Xiao watched from the city wall with a myopic tube, and watched Nan Fengguo disappear into the darkness with dozens of shrewd and capable soldiers.
About half an hour later, many dark shadows appeared under the city wall, Li Xiao knew that it was Nan Fengguo who returned victoriously, so he asked people to put down the rope, and under the city wall, Nan Fengguo tied the captured spirit army scouts with ropes, and shouted to the city wall: "Pull up"
Nan Fengguo captured all the giant spirit people, their size is very large, and the soldiers are very difficult to pull, Li Xiao looked at Nan Fengguo under the city, and said in his heart: "Nan Fengguo is also very capable, he is a general, but his brain is a little slower."
After the soldiers on the city wall pulled the giant spirit scout up the city wall, they pulled Nan Fengguo and the rest of the soldiers, and Nan Fengguo said to Li Xiao after climbing the city wall: "Second uncle, a total of twenty-three people have been arrested, I don't know if it is enough?"
Li Xiao nodded and said, "That's enough, didn't alarm their army, right?"
Nan Fengguo said: "No, after we went down to the city, we began to look for their hidden scouts, but we didn't find any of them, so we sneaked into their camp, who expected that not far from their camp, we heard their shouts, and we sneaked over."
Nan Fengguo narrated, suddenly laughed, and continued: "These beasts who don't have long eyes actually built a shack under a downward slope, and they actually gambled money in it, I led people to rush in, only two of them rose up to resist, and I cut them down, and the rest of the people were arrested, as well as this gambling equipment and gambling money."
After speaking, Nan Fengguo took out four dice and a bag of broken silver taels from his arms and handed them to Li Xiao, who took the dice and played with them in his hand.
Nan Fengguo continued: "I thought that the military discipline of the Spirit Army would be very strict, it seems that they are not enough, the soldiers stole out of the camp late at night to gamble money, and we are afraid of such an army." ”
Li Xiao played with the dice in his hand, and didn't hear Nan Fengguo's words, he was already addicted to gambling, he hadn't touched this thing in his hand since the army, and he was already itching when he saw the dice just now, Li Xiao thought in his heart, "Do you want to block a few handfuls with these three spirit beasts." ”
When Li Xiao traveled in Zixuanguan, he gambled with the Sanling people for a long time, and the Sanling people were easy to block, especially the giant spirit people, who had superb gambling skills and good gambling products, Li Xiao recalled that he lost his gambling with the Sanling people, and he couldn't help laughing.
Nan Fengguo, who was next to him, looked at Li Xiao and smiled, only to say that Li Xiao came up with a plan to torture Lingjun, so he asked, "Second Uncle already has a way, right?"
Li Xiao heard Nan Fengguo ask, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed awkwardly, and said: "Not really, it's just" Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he laughed again, and laughed for a while and said to Nan Fengguo: "There is a way, go and press ten spirit soldiers to the squad room under the city, and I will torture and torture them." ”
Li Xiao took Rui Xin and a pair of soldiers to the squad room, Li Xiao ordered the soldiers to set up a table in the squad room, put a large wine bowl on the table, and took a chair to sit in the center.
Nan Fengguo led people to press ten giant spirits into the class room, the ten giant spirits tied their hands behind their backs, and their mouths were stuffed with things, and the soldiers of the human army shouted at the giant spirits: "Kneel"
But the ten djinn was also hard, none of them knelt, the Terran soldiers kicked hard at the back knee of the djinn, and each djinn knelt down, but immediately had to get up again, and the soldiers of the human army put a steel knife on the neck of the djinn, and the djinn did not dare to get up.
Li Xiao asked someone to take out the things in the giant spirit's mouth, the giant spirits began to scold, a slap in the face, the soldiers of the human army spurted blood from the nose and mouth of the ten giant spirits, Li Xiao was half lying on the chair, his feet were on the table, his left hand held the wine bowl, and his right hand threw the four dice in the bowl, and the dice and the bowl made a "boom" collision sound.
Li Xiao was originally dressed in civilian clothes, plus some of the actions he is doing now, it seems very cynical, Li Xiao sighed while rolling the dice, and kept scolding: ", yes, why is it only eight o'clock" After speaking, he threw it again, and then laughed and shouted: "Full house, sixteen o'clock, good color, good color." ”
Whether it was the ten giant spirits or the soldiers of the human race, they were all looking at Li Xiao, Li Xiao raised his eyes, glanced at the ten giant spirits, glanced at them for a while, and said: "I heard that you giant spirits are good at throwing dice, you throw them to Oh, and I will let you go as soon as you see it, how about it?"
The ten giant spirits are all suspicious, Li Xiao got up and sat upright, pointed at the two giant spirits kneeling in front of him, and said: "You, you, you two compare the size, the one who loses will be beheaded, the one who wins will be thrown again, and the one who has won three will be released immediately." ”
The People's Army soldier pulled up the two giant spirits that Li Xiao pointed to, cut the bindings with a steel knife, put the knife around his neck, and pushed them to the table, Li Xiao put the four dice into the wine bowl, pushed forward, and said, "Roll the dice." ”
The two giant spirits glanced at each other, and both of them thought in their hearts: "If you don't roll the dice, you will definitely die, if you roll it, maybe there will be a chance to live, I hope that the human race in front of you will speak." ”
A bull-headed giant spirit picked up the dice and said to the sheep-headed giant spirit beside him: "Brother, I'm sorry" As soon as the words fell, the dice had already shot, Li Xiao saw that this bull-headed giant spirit threw the dice skillfully, and secretly admired it in his heart.
The four dice in the bowl dripping and turning for a while stopped, two sixes, one five, one four, a total of blackjack, the winning side is huge, Li Xiao glanced at this bull-headed djinn, shouted hello, and said to another sheep-headed djinn: "This sheep-headed brother, your sheep's head is estimated to be unsafe, you can only roll twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four points, and you lose after you roll." ”
The sheep-headed giant spirit snorted, picked up the dice and threw it casually, the dice were also dripping and spinning in the bowl, the three dice had stopped, two fives, one six, Li Xiao, Ruixin, the bull's head, the sheep's head two giant spirits and the soldiers who pressed the two giant spirits all looked intently at the dice in the bowl that were still spinning.
The dice spun in the bowl for a while, and finally stopped, it was six o'clock, and the sheep's head breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the bull's head and said, "I'm sorry brother."
The bull's head was also snorted, Li Xiao was afraid twice, and said, "Cut off this bull's head"
The soldier holding the bull-headed djinn responded, pulled the bull-headed djinn back, waved the steel knife and slashed at the neck of the bull's head, grunted, the bull's head rolled to Li Xiao's feet, Li Xiao kicked the bull's head to the pile of people who were the djinn, although those djinns were all warriors, they were also startled.
Li Xiao waved his hand and said, "Drag this corpse out, I can't smell blood." Then he pointed to the eight kneeling djinn and said, "Which of you is going to gamble?"
The eight giant spirits kneeling but no one spoke, Li Xiao shouted: "No one dares to be, then I'll order, it's you" said and pointed to another sheep-headed giant spirit, Li Xiao looked at the sheep's head and said: "I don't look down on you sheep-headed giant spirits the most, sinister and cunning, especially the four surnamed Gu"
These captured giant spirits all know that Li Xiao is talking about the four fathers and sons of Gulu, Gufeng, Guhuo, and Guzhan, the sheep-headed giant spirit walked over tremblingly, and the giant spirit who won the bull's head before said: "The general of the human army, he is my own brother, we don't bet, how about we bet with you." ”
Li Xiao glanced at him and said, "Okay, it's exactly what I want, you won me, I let you go, I cut you if you lose, how"
The giant spirit didn't speak, just looked at the dice in the bowl, Li Xiao picked up the dice, held it in his hand, Li Xiao, who had not thrown the dice for a long time, was obviously unfamiliar, and said in his heart: "It would be nice if the dice that Guo Rengui gave me were by my side, the one who wanted to roll a few points, this dice didn't listen to me, how could it be good if he lost." ”
After thinking about it again: "In my territory, what can I do if I lose, I will throw a handful first" After thinking about it, he threw the dice into the bowl, two fives, two fours, a total of eighteen points, and the winning side was still very large, Li Xiao smiled and said: "Brother Sheep's Head, see you have been created" said and pushed the bowl forward.
The sheep's head picked up the dice, blew on the side of his mouth, and threw it out very skillfully, Li Xiao looked at the sheep's head, and thought: "If he wants to win, I will say that he is out of a thousand, and he will cut it directly" Thinking about the corner of his mouth, a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, looking at the bowl, the dice stopped, three, four, five, six.
The two heads of the sheep cheered at the same time, and the heads of the sheep who threw the dice shouted: "One dragon, one dragon"
Li Xiao looked at the dragon in the bowl and admired, Li Xiao rolled his eyes and said: "What a dragon, you are also eighteen points, I will win if I throw first, cut him"
The soldier next to him laughed secretly, and said in his heart: "General Li is also a scoundrel, the rules of rolling dice are obviously a leopard's big straight, and a straight has a big idea, so you can't bet on dice with General Li in the future." ”
