360: Flesh is mud
He Wuji's eyebrows were knotted, and he was also full of incomprehension. Shaking his head, he said, "Well, the last general can't figure it out either." Although it is true that the Menggu army is more than us, if you want to say that you can break the city in three days, this ...... It's ridiculous. ”
"Could it be that this wolf barbarian wants to launch a large army regardless of casualties and attack the city day and night?" Yan Fulong scratched his hair and said, "If they really want to do this, we may not be able to support it." They are numerous and can take turns to rest. There are few of us, so we can only blindly exhaust ourselves. If you go like this, maybe you will really let the wolf brute succeed. ”
Xiao Sheng said abruptly: "Our soldiers have all eaten Huangliang rice. There is also the support of marching wine. Not to mention, Wang Xuan has also refined enough 'Nine Cows and Two Tiger Pills'. As long as you eat it, an ordinary martial arts level soldier can immediately burst out with a power equivalent to that of a samurai. The samurai eats it, and in a short period of time, he can burst out with a power equivalent to that of a grandmaster.
With these three things as the backing, even if the Blue Wolf King commands the army to continue to attack the city day and night, we can support it for at least a month. Three days to break the city, hehe, it's just a joke. ”
At this moment, all of a sudden, only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard like thunder, and it quickly moved from far to near. The three of them glanced at each other, then walked briskly up to the top of the city and looked out of the city.
As far as the eye could see, I saw another large group of fierce ancient soldiers coming. They also set up a position in a land that was miles away, and they did not attack either. Not long after, I saw thousands of craftsmen-like men, each carrying stones and vertical trees, under the supervision of the army, building a high platform that was more than ten zhang high.
The fierce ancient soldiers suddenly built a high platform, and Xiao Sheng saw it inexplicably. Yan Fulong couldn't help but say, "What do you want to do when the ancient barbarian suddenly builds a high platform here? Even if he wants to peek into the reality of our city, this is too far away, right?"
He Wuji frowned and pondered, unable to figure out the enemy's intentions for a while. Said slowly: "Palace, the last general will follow his father, guard the Great Wall from the town, and deal with the fierce ancient barbarians, which is not less. But what they are doing now, the last general has never seen or heard of it. ”
Xiao Sheng was silent and stared intently. Not long after, I saw hundreds of fierce barbarians, leading mules and horses, bringing a large amount of firewood and grass, piling them up around the high platform, as if they were going to set fire to the high platform.
Yan Fulong scratched his hair and wondered: "Could it be that the enemy army is not attacking the city, so they want to build an altar to worship their Nalaoshzi wolf god, or some other demon method that is tired of praying for victory?"
Before the words fell, I saw thousands of Menggu soldiers, wielding long shovels and shovels, digging a deep and wide trench around the high platform. The excavated earth was piled up outside the trench and became a wall of dirt.
I could only hear the trumpets blowing and the drums of war. A team of 40,000 people drove up one after another, and lined up in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the high platform. The formation stretched for miles. layer by layer, the high platform was surrounded like an iron bucket. The strength of the formation is absolutely worthy of the name and impregnable.
A few moments later, more changes emerged. I saw a large group of chariots and horses coming from the road leading to Suigui County. Every car was full of goods. It's just that the car is covered with oilcloth, but it is not clear what kind of goods it is.
The answer to the question was soon revealed. After a while, I saw that these vehicles came to the high platform, uncovered the tarpaulin, unloaded the goods directly, and poured them into the trench.
Suddenly, above the city in the distance, Xiao Shengyan, Fu Long, He Wuji and the other three were all taken aback at the same time. Immediately afterwards, a nameless anger rushed towards the crown, and the three of them also gritted their teeth, and their eyes seemed to breathe fire.
It turned out that those so-called goods were actually corpses! All the vehicles were piled with dead bodies and white bones. Some are fresh and whole, while others have begun to rot, revealing their bones. The number is so large that it is simply difficult to calculate. Even the most conservative estimates are at least in the tens of thousands.
Moreover, judging from the clothing of these corpses, they are from the northern Xinjiang and belong to the people of Dahao. It was the victim who was unfortunately killed and died tragically when the ancient barbarians broke the city.
Yan Fulong was the first to be the one who couldn't bear it, clenched his fists, and smashed it the battlements. The sound of "click~" passed, and the number caused by the blue strip stone was shattered on the spot, turning into countless dust and dust flying in the wind. Yan Fulong said viciously: "Damn fierce ancient barbarians, what are they trying to do? Demonstrate to us, or intimidate?"
"This is very strange......" Although He Wuji was also very angry, he was naturally cautious, so he was not blinded by anger. He muttered, "Even if the fierce ancient barbarians bring over more corpses, can they still expect to rely on this to scare us into surrendering automatically? In that case, what's the point of them doing that?"
Xiao Sheng stared at the situation on the high platform in the distance, and after a long time, he suddenly said slowly: "The Blue Wolf King will not do anything meaningless. Speaking of which, do you think that the fierce ancient barbarians do this...... You look like you're growing vegetables, huh?"
"What?" Yan Fulong and He Wuji were stunned at the same time. glanced at each other, and in each other's pupils, they all saw an inexplicable feeling.
Xiao Sheng looked more and more like it. Ning said: "Fu Long, Wuji, you should all know that this king used to have a nickname, called the Waste Prince, right?"
He Wuji naturally heard of this nickname, and hurriedly said: "They are all ignorant people, just chewing their tongues behind their backs." The palace is bold and heroic, and the sky is rare. If the temple is also a waste, then we are simply garbage in the waste. ”
Xiao Sheng waved his hand indifferently and said, "The point is not here." The real point is that at that time, I lived with Guan Gonggong and I in a corner of the Ten Princes' Mansion. The offerings that were supposed to be distributed every month were always delayed, and I didn't know what was going on.
Life in the world, food, clothing, housing and transportation. I don't have new clothes, so I can barely wear them by mending up old clothes. Although the yard assigned to me is broken, it can still shelter from the wind and rain, and I will not sleep on the streets. As for the okay, it's a big deal not to go out. Only this food is missing, but it is not missing for a day.
The monthly offerings are not issued, and we can only renew them by ourselves. At that time, Grandpa Guan took me to open up a vegetable patch in the yard and was self-sufficient. Regardless of loosening the soil, sowing seeds, fertilizing, watering...... I've done it with Grandpa Guan. So I'm really no stranger to growing vegetables.
So now seeing these fierce ancient barbarians busy at work, I always feel extremely familiar. You see. Those barbarians digging ditches are equivalent to loosening the soil. The accumulation of these corpses is obviously fertilizing. Well, Mowgli, Fulong, what do you think?"
"Loosening the soil, fertilizing, what kind of nerves are these fierce ancient barbarians?" These words were heard by Yan Fulong, and he became like a Zhang Er King Kong, and he was confused.
He Wuji also frowned and said: "The fierce ancient barbarian never knew how to farm, he only knew how to chase water and grass, and animal husbandry for a living. All of a sudden, the land is to be planted...... Well, Dian, in the eyes of the last general, there must be a big conspiracy behind this matter. ”
Xiao Sheng sighed and said, "It's a pity that we don't have enough troops in the city. The fierce ancient barbarians have already set up a position again, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Otherwise, you can lead your troops out of the city and charge into battle to see what the hell they are up to. ”
He Wuji was taken aback, for fear that this palace would go out of the city alone again and put himself in danger. Hurriedly advised: "The palace must not take risks. There is a cloud in the art of war, and those who are good at fighting in the past are invincible first, and then they are invincible to the enemy. You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy. Therefore he who fights well can be invincible, and he who cannot make the enemy invincible. Be invincible, and not lose the defeat of the enemy. ”
After a pause, He Wuji explained: "The meaning of these words is that we do our part well, stick to the city, and then stand in an invincible place first. Until then, we must not act rashly and expose our flaws and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of them. ”
Xiao Sheng nodded and said, "Wuji, what you said is also right. But ......"
He was only halfway through his speech. Suddenly, a strange rhythm of music rose from a high platform in the distance, resounding through the sky, and although they were separated by several miles, they still sounded very clear in the city.
Xiao Sheng raised his brows suddenly, used his eyesight, and watched intently. I saw hundreds of witches dressed in colorful clothes, wearing masks, and with two long pheasant tails on their heads, holding a tambourine in their left hand and a prayer cylinder in their right hand, singing and dancing at the same time, and stepped into the arena.
This group of witches, accompanied by strange musical rhythms, danced in circles around the high platform, positive or negative, fast or slow, with various rhythms. At first glance, this scene is simply ......
It's so weird that it makes people feel hairy.
"These people are not the priests of the Wolf Temple. He Wuji saw it clearly, he was a little puzzled, and said in a condensed voice: "It's weird, it's weird." Where did such a group of gods come from?"
Xiao Sheng didn't answer again. Because it is impossible to guess anything from empty to empty speculation. The only thing that can be done now is four words: wait and see.
In the midst of the music, between the dances, and on the high platform, the situation has changed again. I saw that among the four teams of 10,000 people arranged around the high platform, many people in each team left the team and walked towards the high platform. Although the distance is far away, everyone in the city can still see it very clearly. That's four captains, plus forty thousands.
After a few moments, the captains and commanders of thousands stood on the high platform, and then faced all directions, and knelt on their knees. Worship sincerely, and there are words in your mouth.
The prayers and eulogies on the stage, and the dances of the colorful warriors on the stage, blend with each other, as if forming a peculiar rhythm, which is powerful enough to stir the atmosphere and make the heavens and the earth lose color.
In an instant, the cold yin wind blew at the same time, making people feel like falling into an ice cave. Immediately afterwards, dark clouds continued to gather from all directions. In just a few moments, Lang Lang's sunny sky had become pitch black, as if night had fallen several hours earlier.
