Chapter 114: Digging Bones

You let me out, I will restrain the soldiers and horses, and never step out of the city!

Quan Gai Suwen spoke again, but Liu Xu shook his head gently.

"I can't believe you, if I hadn't tied you, I believe, I would have wanted to eat my flesh and drink my blood! Would you believe the allegiance of a vicious wolf? So, you should still chant the scriptures! ”

The five hundred men of the advance team, who had already been disguised, braved the heavy snow, groped forward, if there were few people, they had to solve the guards first, and if there were many people, they immediately withdrew, and waited until the army passed together.

The damn ghost weather is very annoying, the heavy snow blocks the sight very thoroughly, the helmet is immediately stuffed with cotton, and it still feels cold, but there is also a benefit, that is, even if the fire is presumptuous, there is no problem, such a big snow, the ghost will not come out to see, will anyone come so far to attack the city.

The horses were no longer needed, and seeing that the snow was up to his ankles and climbing above his knees, Liu Xu's heart became even more anxious. Food and grass are limited, and if he can't complete the task in time, he will definitely drive the fleet out as soon as the river is not frozen.

The thick felt was covered outside the tent, the thatch was very thick, and the snow should always be kept in mind not to collapse, but no matter how cold it was, the ventilation port must be, otherwise they would be suffocated inside.

The rest of the liquor had already been distributed, and the guards on patrol, when it was so cold, could take a sip to keep warm, and even so, after each patrol, a group of people's feet were still frozen and blue, and then after each person made two skis, it was much better. At the very least, as soon as you take off your shoes, there will be a layer of ice water inside.

Lao Wu and the others finally came back, there were blood stains on their bodies, but they didn't care, they ate meat around the bonfire, drank wine, and wiped their mouths.

"Master Hou, you can already go, there are two hundred people, we have solved it secretly, this ghost weather, the people of Goguryeo, even the patrol guards on the city wall are very few, and they may not be able to see us. The windmill leaves, let's also install them, Lao Xu is watching over there, just facing the city gate, they dare to come out, we don't use bows and arrows, the big windmill leaves are fanning, they can't get out of the city, if they pour a few more pots of water, hehe, they are so poor, they can freeze to death directly! ”

With a red nose, eating chili peppers will be sparse, but this thing is better to sweat, and eating a few raw ones in winter is more effective than anything else.

"Okay, let's go lightly, dig out the bones first, load them on the boat, and then wait for the fucking snow to stop, this weather, we can't open our sails at all."

Not to mention Zhang Fan, even if the rope for hanging the sail, Liu Xu didn't dare to put it outside, this is not as good as the quality of later generations, even if it is pure grass rope and brown rope, as soon as the snow is covered and frozen, the thing is very brittle, and if you pull it hard, it can be broken into several pieces, which is too dangerous!

With people, take advantage of the day, dig as much as you can, dig as much as you can, not for a day, just dig for two days, the hoe is too brittle, I don't know how much it breaks, fortunately, the response is good, the snowboard is this thing, it really helps, Quangai Suwen has been praying that the snow can cover up his people to death, but in the end, after half a month, the bones are almost finished, and he has not received a single soldier in the Tang Dynasty, so he didn't say anything.

The change of defense inside and outside the city was once every half a month, but seeing that half a moon had passed, the guards outside the city did not move at all, and Yang Wanchun, the Goguryeo general who was stopped by the heavy snow, was a little uneasy. They sent 400 soldiers out of the city to check on them, so as not to be frozen, but when they arrived at the camp, they found that there was no one here.

Just as he was about to return to the report, he found that his foot was caught by something, and when he looked down, he was horrified that a big living man was smirking at himself with his teeth exposed.

hurriedly drew the long knife on his waist, but only halfway through it, the person had already slowly fallen. Hot blood flowed down his neck, staining the snow red, and covered it with snow, and the moment he closed his eyes, he saw the hundreds of soldiers who had followed him, all of them dying so quietly.

A group of people got up, checked the number, made a gesture to each other, and learned that Suo Suo moved the corpse away, and the ground was covered with snow again, and the people lay down again.

"Master Hou, they were all killed, four hundred and five people, and none of them escaped."

Liu Xu nodded, the bone digging has been carried out to the end, only a little is left, but half a month has passed, and when it comes to the day of their change of guard, this time not only the people outside the city did not go back, but the people who came from the city did not go back, so if you don't doubt it, the people inside are all stupid.

His eyes glanced at Quan Gai Suwen, who was tied with a strip, this guy probably had never suffered such a blow, and it was estimated that it was useless to know that it was useless, so he was close to a state of dementia at the moment, but despite this, his eyes kept opening wide, as if he wanted to remember all this.

"Master Hou, the ground is frozen, and it's not easy to dig in the end."

Lao Wu came to report, Liu Xu looked at the time, drew on the paper for a long time, and then looked up.

"How many more?"

"A few hundred. It's too deep, and there's water down there, and it's frozen. ”

If you can dig it, you can dig it, forget it if you can't dig it, first put the road in order, the guards here don't know who it is, if it's not good, rush out directly with the army, then it will be difficult for us to retreat in time. Dead man's bones are never worth as much as our brothers' lives. ”

Lao Wu nodded, and took the order, the strong crossbow could not be transported at all, it could only be placed on the boat, these were the last means of saving the lives of their own people, the people who came over, all equipped with short crossbows, one person and one pot of arrows, if the enemy's strength was not more than 10,000, it was easy for these people to go out, but once it was surrounded by a large army, it would be very miserable.

Patrol vigilance has been strengthened again, and the scope should also be broadened, so that there must be no situation where people have copied the back road. Liu Xu is not Li Jing and their peerless generals, the first thing he thinks about when he goes to the battlefield is never how many people he can kill or how many battles he can win, the first thing he thinks about is always to save his life. If at this time, the Goguryeo army rushed out directly, the first thing he did would definitely be to order a retreat, instead of digging up the last few hundred bones.

Fortunately, until it was dark, the guards in the city still showed no signs of attacking, but there were more and more patrolling soldiers, and when Lao Xu and the others quietly killed the third wave of teams that came to investigate, they finally missed a group of people. It just so happened that Lao Wu had come to report that all the bones had been dug up.
