At three poles in the sun, the air was filled with the smell of blood and burning, and the Sui army finally slowly retreated from under the Liyang Cang, except for a part of the people who stayed in the city to patrol and garrison to deal with the aftermath, and the brigade withdrew from the city to camp and rest and wait.
When the army retreated, the devastated city of Liyang slowly emerged from the water like a reef after the tide had fallen. Everywhere there were ruins, broken walls, scorched earth and ashes, and the fire that had not yet been extinguished rolled up in black pillars of smoke and rushed into the sky, and the thick smoke pierced people's eyes with red tears, and it was almost impossible to open them.
The barricades on the streets and the houses along the road were almost all destroyed in the battle last night, and now Liyang City is full of holes like a garbage dump.
The Sui army lost more than 2,000 dead and wounded, but the result was to successfully advance the troops to Liyang Cang, and clear the many ambushes and traps set by the Wagang army in the city, paving the way for the next battle.
General Yuwen Chengdu has issued a military order to launch a general attack on Liyangcang at dawn tomorrow, and even if he fights to the last one, he is not allowed to retreat.
After hearing the news, the forbidden army Xiaoguo who besieged the city not only did not get nervous, but breathed a sigh of relief - they could finally eat and sleep, as for the military order to launch a general attack on Liyangcang, wouldn't that be tomorrow's business? Let's talk about it after Lao Tzu wakes up.
Unfortunately, not everyone can sleep, and a group of Sui troops under the leadership of General Pei were ordered to garrison the city, clean up the nearby neighborhoods, fill in the tunnels, break the pits, and search for the lurking remnants.
One by one, they were hungry and tired to death, and they walked listlessly through the empty and dead streets, so tired that they were even numb to the cold arrows that were fired from the darkness from time to time, and their reactions were cold.
This is already the neighborhood closest to Liyangcang, and hundreds of corpses are lying in pools of blood, some of them from the Sui army and some from the Wagang army, all of whom were directly buried in the earthen pit.
Everyone was bored with work, and they didn't even have the strength to speak, and they could fall asleep standing anytime and anywhere.
Suddenly, a sergeant in charge of guarding the perimeter shouted, "Chief, the gates are open!"
The general was taken aback, only to see that the east gate of Liyang Cang was slowly opening. He hurriedly hid behind a section of ruins and beckoned, "Hide quickly and see what they are going to do!"
More than 100 Sui soldiers hid one after another, staring nervously at the east gate opened by Liyang Cangdong with wide eyes.
Something unexpected happened, and it was neither the murderous cavalry infantry armor that came out of the city gate, nor the old and weak women and children who fled in the wilderness, but dozens of gang leaders pushing carts!
On the cart there are baskets of freshly baked baked pancakes, steamed buns, and broth that makes people drool when they smell it!
The Sui soldiers hid behind the wall and looked at each other, wondering what the Wagang army in the city was singing, could it be that they wanted to go out of the city for a picnic?
At this time, I saw all the carts lined up outside the city gate, and a leading young man jumped on the board of the cart and shouted at the other side of the street: "Brothers of the Sui army, you have worked hard! Don't be afraid, I am Diao Xiaosi, who also ate imperial grain in the forbidden army in the past. ”
A harmless bright smile appeared on his face, and he raised the steamed bun in his hand high and said: "I invite everyone to eat steamed buns and drink broth! The brothers who want to eat put down their weapons and come over empty-handed to line up to eat.
Is it really fake? The forbidden army Xiaoguo stared at the white bun in Diao Xiaosi's hand, swallowing desperately.
The general shouted, "Don't be fooled, everyone, as soon as we show up in the city, we will release arrows!"
Diao Xiaosi was furious when he heard this: "Which bastard is spreading rumors and slandering, Lao Tzu is also a person with honor!" He jumped off the cart and rushed over with a basket of steamed buns.
The general was shocked and shouted, "Shoot him with arrows!"
A veteran soldier beside him hesitated: "Boss, he is holding a basket of steamed buns in his hand." ”
Before the words fell, Diao Xiaosi rushed to the front like a gust of wind. The general was so angry that he stabbed his gun and said, "Kill him!"
Diao Xiaosi put down the basket, reached out and grabbed the barrel of the gun, and threw it out. With a "bang" sound, the company knocked the gun into the broken wall and passed out.
Only then did the surrounding forbidden army react, and hurriedly raised their knives and guns to pull the bowstring and surround Diao Xiaosi.
Diao Xiaosi unhurriedly picked up the white-flour bun from the basket, threw it to the forbidden soldiers around him and said, "Then, it's still hot." ”
The forbidden soldiers were stunned, subconsciously caught the buns thrown over, and if they were bold, they brought them to their mouths and took a big bite, and said vaguely: "It's delicious!"
"Whoa, whoa!" Hundreds of Sui soldiers dropped their blades and swarmed out from behind the wall to grab the buns.
Diao Xiaosi smiled and helped distribute it, and asked casually, "Brother, where are you from?"
A bearded veteran gobbled up his tongue and replied, "Yingchuan's." ”
"Coincidentally, I'm also in Guanzhong. Diao Xiaosi stuffed him with another steamed bun and said with emotion: "When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears. You have had a hard time along the way. ”
"Isn't it?" said the veteran, whose eyes were red, "If you don't want to go home, your son is willing to fight." ”
Diao Xiaosi patted the veteran and said earnestly: "Brother, take care, the mother-in-law at home is still waiting for you to go back for a reunion." ”
In a few words, there was no steamed bun left in Diao Xiaosi, and many people didn't eat it when they started late.
Diao Xiaosi smiled and said, "The brother who wants to eat steamed buns will come with me, and there will be soup to drink!"
He swaggered back, seemingly unafraid that someone would release a cold arrow from his back.
Forbidden soldiers, look at me, I look at you, and then look at the carts lined up outside the city gate, trying to keep up but don't dare.
Suddenly, the old soldier shouted: "Your grandmother, follow Lao Tzu to drink soup, I'm afraid of a bird!"
Dozens of forbidden army Xiaoguo, under the leadership of veterans, rushed out of the position like a pack of hungry wolves.
As soon as they moved, the Sui troops from other places also rushed out of the neighborhood in a swarm, for fear that they would not even be able to catch the bones if they were too late.
Dozens of fire-headed soldiers maintained order on the one hand, and on the other hand, they familiarized themselves with their fellow villagers. Whether you are from Longxi or Gyeonggi from Hanoi, you can always find your folks here.
Everyone was talking and eating, crying and laughing, worshipping the handle, recognizing the godfather, and climbing relatives, the scene became more and more hot and tear-jerking.
As a result, more than 100 brothers in the forbidden army decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light to set things right, followed the villagers they had just recognized into Liyangcang, changed their clothes and became a member of the Wagang Army with honor.
For a time, the reputation of "Diao Bun" spread all over the front of the two armies, and it was more popular than Sui Jun's parents everywhere he went.
Diao Xiaosi returned with more than a hundred forbidden army Xiaoguo who had defected from the front of the battle, and his heart blossomed when he thought of Yuwen Chengdu's little white face shining green at this moment.
An army of 30,000 is a bird, you have soldiers, I have food, see who can play whom!
While he was working at this time, a soldier under Cheng's golden tent hurriedly came and shouted: "Fourth Master Diao, something is wrong! Many brothers in the general's mansion vomited and diarrhea just after breakfast, and they sweated all over their bodies and had a high fever. General Cheng is about to lose his bearings, I'm afraid someone has poisoned the well water!"
Diao Xiaosi's heart sank, he had already told Xu Maogong and the others the information that the four major killers under the throne of the Eryue Law had infiltrated Liyang Cang, but he didn't expect to be on the road.
When he returned to the General's Mansion, he saw Cheng Yanjin sitting on the couch with a black face, and the innocent real person was using his luck to force poison for him. In the next room, there were still his old brothers You Junda and Shi Danai, and the situation of the two was even more serious, and it was all thanks to the eldest grandson Wuji and Zhang Wuji to protect their hearts with their true qi before they were completely finished.
Xu Maogong and Tiansin Zhenren were busy boiling herbs outside, treating the poisoned soldiers in the general's mansion, and the whole mansion was gloomy and miserable.
Diao Xiaosi grabbed Xu Maogong and said, "Have you found out who poisoned you?"
Xu Maogong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have carefully investigated in the mansion, and no suspicious characters have been found." The top priority is to find a prescription for detoxification as soon as possible, otherwise Liyangcang will be in danger. ”
Diao Xiaosi's head suddenly became as big as a bucket, and he looked at Cheng Yanjin, who kept foaming blood from his mouth in the room, and sighed and said, "Bring me a cup." ”
Xu Maogong was stunned, turned his head and ordered his soldiers: "Go quickly, find a bigger cup!"
Diao Xiaosi glared at this shameless level that was no less than his own fake bull-nosed old dao, took out the Youquan short knife from the belt of the dragon, and after a long time, he finally closed his eyes and bit his teeth, and cut it on his wrist.
The soldier hurriedly used the cup to catch the blood dripping from Diao Xiaosi's wrist, Xu Maogong stood next to him and stared at it without blinking, and asked, "Little fourth brother, can you have more?"
"Niang Xipi, do you think Lao Tzu is a cow?" Diao Xiaosi angrily sealed the meridians around the wound, took the cup and walked into the house, and beckoned: "Lao Cheng, take a sip." ”
Cheng Yanjin opened his eyes and looked at the blood in the cup, shook his head and said, "What is this?"
Diao Xiaosi stiffened his face and said, "Human blood, do you like to drink it." ”
Cheng Yanjin was stunned and said, "This thing can really detoxify?"
Xu Maogong stood behind Diao Xiaosi and secretly glanced at him.
Cheng Biting Jin didn't say a word, grabbed the cup and swallowed it in one gulp, finished smacking his mouth, squinted his eyes and tasted it, shook his head disapprerovingly and said, "Damn, whose blood is this, it's the same as horse urine, angry." ”
Diao Xiaosi was so angry that he flew up and kicked the bastard over on the bed, turned around and walked out.
Cheng Biting Jin got up as soon as he got up, he felt that his stomach was tumbling over the river, and he vomited out a puddle of filth with "wow", the chill subsided, and his chest was hot and comfortable, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and he didn't even have time to put on his boots, and chased out the door barefoot: "Little fourth brother, your blood is really spiritual!"
Diao Xiaosi's depression decreased slightly, and he snorted proudly and did not speak.
Cheng Yanjin smiled and leaned over, hugged his shoulders affectionately, and asked in a low voice, regardless of the unpleasant sour smell exuding from his body: "Can you give me another bottle, next time I will not be afraid of old Cheng being poisoned or something." ”
"Bang!" Diao Xiaosi punched the plague god directly back to the couch.
