Chapter 065: Drunk Life and Dream Death
In Tokai County in the early morning, the dense fog has just dissipated.
On the plain west of the city, Li Hu led 20,000 homeless people to move forward slowly, the capital city of Donghai County was in front of him, and the big war was coming, but from time to time there was a sound of frolicking and slapping among the homeless people, like a group of robbers who were ready to enter the village and plunder.
The displaced people are gathered in the west of the city, Li Hu did not besiege the city, first, the city is too big, 20,000 displaced people can't be surrounded at all, and second, if there is no accident, the city can be broken at noon, during this time, how many people in the city can run?
"Dig the earth, fill the river!"
The moat can't stop the dead soldiers, but it can stop the homeless, Li Hu has experience in attacking cities in the past, and knows very well how to use the fastest way to break through the city wall.
With Li Hu's order, the displaced people in the rear took out the cloth bags very skillfully, dug the soil on the spot, and when the soil in the cloth bags was full, they ran to the moat with the soil on their backs, and then poured the soil into it.
Li Hu is very strange, in the past siege, when he sent people to fill the moat, there would be a rain of arrows falling on the city, which was also the time when the casualties of the displaced people under him were the largest, but this time the siege, why did the city head not move?
"Oh no! Oh no!" At the door of Bao Xianglou, the shopkeeper's son rushed in with a panicked face.
"Isn't it just that the homeless people are calling! so panicked!" Seeing his son's panicked appearance, the shopkeeper of Bao Xianglou suddenly turned pale and scolded loudly, "Look at your guts!
"No...... No!" The shopkeeper's son seemed to be running too quickly, and at this time he bent over and said breathlessly, "It's all ...... They're all gone! The county guards are gone! The maritime merchants are going to run away in their boats!"
"What?" the shopkeeper heard his son's words, his face changed greatly, and he immediately asked, "You said the county guard ran away?"
"Run!" the son finally regained his breath and shouted to his father.
"That'...... And who's guarding the city now?" asked the shopkeeper, holding his son's shoulder.
"How can there be any defenders of the city!" The county guards have all fled, and of course the county lieutenants have also fled! Most of the soldiers in the city have also fled!" replied the son with a crying voice.
"This ......," the shopkeeper shook his body when he heard his son's answer, "and in this case, haven't the homeless people already hit the city?"
"Not yet! Dad, the homeless people haven't called yet. The shopkeeper's son hurriedly supported his father and said urgently, "That group of homeless people is now filling the moat, let's hurry up and take a boat from the east gate, it's still too late!"
"Okay, okay! For the sake of the Father, I'm going to pack my things. The shopkeeper said that he was going to the back hall of the restaurant.
"Dad! When is it, you still pack up your things! Save your life! Let's go!" The shopkeeper hadn't taken two steps before he was immediately stopped by his son.
"Yes! It's important to save your life!" The shopkeeper also reacted at this time, immediately patted his head, and then pulled his son out of the house.
"Wait, Dad, is Mr. Xu upstairs gone?" Seeing that the two were about to leave the restaurant, the shopkeeper's son suddenly asked his father.
"Mr. Xu, what Mr. Xu?" the shopkeeper pulled his son, without the slightest pause, as if he really didn't know any Mr. Xu.
"Mr. Xu! is the one who comes to our restaurant every day to drink. The shopkeeper's son hurriedly reminded, "You also said that this Xu Xian has lived for more than a hundred years!"
"What nonsense! How can there be a person in this world who lives to be more than 100 years old!" said the shopkeeper as he ran, "Besides, don't you remember the guest father of our restaurant? Where is there a guest surnamed Xu!"
......
Is Mr. Xu's surname Xu? Actually, he doesn't know it himself.
Mr. Xu doesn't remember who his surname is or where he lives, he only knows that in a dream, a woman told him that his surname is Xu......
People often ask Mr. Xu, how long have you lived? Mr. Xu always replied - I have forgotten.
He really forgot how long he had lived, and even who he had met and what he had done in the past was blurred little by little, and finally completely forgotten, not knowing whether he had forgotten the mortal dust, or the mortal dust had forgotten him.
In this world, the only person who can remember Mr. Xu is the woman in his dream.
I don't know when, he fell in love with drinking, and when he drank, he was drunk, and every time he got drunk, he could see the woman in his dreams, although the woman could only say one word, she would only say - your surname is Xu.
......
"General, there seems to be something wrong in this city!" I don't know when, Wang Sijun came to Li Hu's side and said with a puzzled face.
"I also think something is wrong, why don't there be soldiers guarding the city at the head of the city?" Li Hu looked at the city head from afar, also puzzled.
"Didn't everyone in the city run away?" Wang Sijun thought for a while, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly shouted.
Li Hu was stunned when he heard this, and led the army from Nanyang all the way into Rongyang County, and the various cities he passed through were not strictly defended, and he never encountered the situation of abandoning the city and fleeing.
"Someone! Let me go to the front to see if there is anyone on the city wall!" With a guess, Li Hu immediately sent someone to check.
Because they were afraid of the bows and crossbows on the city wall, the place where Li Hu and the others were located was quite far away from the city wall, and they couldn't see the situation on the city wall at all.
Li Hu and Wang Sijun glanced at each other, and both of them could see a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
"Could it be that there is fraud in the city?" Originally, when he heard that there were no soldiers at the head of the city, Li Hu wanted to attack the city immediately, but when he heard that there was a drunk man lying at the head of the city, he immediately became uncertain.
"It doesn't matter if he cheats or not, with the dead pawn, what else do I have to be afraid of!" Wang Sijun touched his mustache at this time, and said confidently, "The general can send a team of dead pawns to attack the city first, and find out if there is any fraud!"
Li Hu nodded when he heard this, only to see him take out a cornet made of horns from his arms, put it in his mouth and blow it hard, whining——, desolate horn sound resounded throughout the plain, and suddenly black shadows jumped out of the homeless people.
These black shadows have horns, black hair, green faces and fangs, all like demons crawling out of the underworld, this is the underworld pawn that Li Hu relies on!
I saw Li Hu wave his hand, and then more than a dozen dead soldiers jumped over the moat more than two zhang wide with a kick of their legs, and a pair of sharp claws buckled the city wall, and the bluestone of the city wall was buckled out of several holes like tofu.
These soldiers jumped up to the head of the city in twos and twos, looking around, there was not a single person guarding the city, the only figure was very conspicuous, this person was lying between the female walls of the city, holding a wine jug in his hand, drinking a small wine.
"Nice view of the city......"
A pawn walked up to the babbling drunkard and raised his claws at his head, a cold light flickering.
"Let's have a drink......"
The spout in the drunkard's hand was crooked, and the sake slowly spilled, overflowing with the aroma of wine......
Soon after, someone secretly walked up to the top of the city and looked around, and found that the homeless people under the city were lying on the ground, not moving.
Soon after, some bold men went out of the city to check and found that the outcasts were drunk, drunk, some with ecstasy and some with grief, but on closer inspection, they were all breathless!
