The moment the fire broke out! Li Zhenkankan, who was lagging behind, led the army and rushed into the city gate!
However, before he could feel ecstatic about finally being able to enter the city, he saw the blazing fire rising into the sky first!
In an instant, Li Zhen's heart fell from the height to the abyss of the earth again!
"Why is the city on fire?"
"There's an ambush!"
The counselors around him yelled in fear! Some even desperately wanted to run out of the city gate!
However, they didn't have to run far yet.
Ahead, in the open space in the city!
The fire that burst into flames quickly extinguished like a flash in the pan.
In the blink of an eye, most of the fire that spread nearly a hundred steps disappeared, leaving only scattered corpses and piles of sacks in the middle, still burning tirelessly in the night!
"No, it's not an ambush! This is them burning food!"
Seeing this strange scene, Li Shi's pupils shrank. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that when he entered the city, he shouted on the city that the food should be burned!
Combined with the piles of sacks in front of us, aren't they the sacks used to hold grain?!
Thinking of this, Li Shi finally reacted and immediately jumped to his feet and shouted, "Quick! Put out the fire quickly! That's food! That's food!"
"Ah? Food!"
"Quickly put out the fire! Hurry up and put out the fire!"
"Water! Find water to put out the fire!"
"Ah? Where is the water here?"
For a moment, the rebels who heard Li Shi's words were all excited!
They haven't eaten for a whole day! Now when they see the wood, they want to take a bite. How could they just watch the food they got being burned in vain?
So after the shock, each soldier
The soldier was like a headless fly, desperately looking for tools to put out the fire!
At this time, no one thought about the burnt comrades on the ground. Countless people rushed to the grain pile like locusts!
Some took off their clothes and beat them with their clothes!
There are also those who use their knives as shovels to shovel mud onto the burning sacks!
There was even one who couldn't find water anywhere, so he took off his pants and was about to pee to put out the fire!
However, this person has not yet waited for the mood to brew up and prepare to open the floodgates and release the water.
A big foot from behind had already kicked his butt hard! He stumbled forward two steps and almost fell into the fire, burning his thing into a roasted bird.
"Idiot! This is food! Who told you to pee!" Li Shi, who rushed over, glared at the guy who was using his hands and feet and crawled away in fear and yelled!
But this guy who was almost able to join the palace as a eunuch looked aggrieved after leaving the fire.
As long as we can save the food, what's the big deal if we pee a little? Why don't we still eat after washing? It's better than not being able to eat and starving to death, right?
Of course, he didn't dare to say this now. Li Shi in front of him looked very angry! If he said it, he might get angry and throw himself into the fire too.
In the dark, these "food piles" are on fire!
They were originally made of flammable materials, and when they were doused with fire oil, the fire shot up to a height of five or six feet under the night sky, illuminating the surrounding area as if it were daytime!
However, no matter how big the fire is, it can't hold tens of thousands of people rushing forward to put out the fire!
It only takes a moment, then
The raging fire was extinguished!
Some burned and blackened grain was also scattered out of the tattered sacks and scattered among the ashes.
"This is food?!"
Looking at the scattered food, a soldier in the crowd suddenly let out a strange cry and jumped forward. Then he opened his bow from left to right and stuffed the black food into his mouth desperately!
Even if he grimaces when being burned, he still spits out the food!
Seeing this scene, Li Shi was stunned! At the same time, a strong sense of uncertainty quickly rose in his heart!
"Grab it!"
"Grain! Grain!"
Sure enough, Xiao Bing's action was like a valve being opened! When others saw this person's action, in just a moment, the situation was completely out of control!
The eyes of countless soldiers who had been hungry all day were all red! One by one, they rushed forward desperately! For fear of falling behind one step, all the food would be eaten by others!
As a result, the turbulent flow of people, even the big and round Li Shi, was tossed around like a small boat in the stormy waves, unable to even stand firm!
"Don't grab, don't grab!" Li Shi shouted in the crowd, trying to stop the surging flow of people.
But as soon as his voice came out, it was drowned in the roar of people!
"Dong dong dong..."
Seeing that the situation was about to develop out of control, a sudden and rapid drumbeat finally woke up the red-eyed soldiers! They stopped fighting and looked towards the location where the drumbeat came from!
There! Li Zhenzheng, who was tightly surrounded by dozens of men in black, beat the war drum himself, one after another, making the war drum carried by two people tremble! Wait until
When the crowd stopped, the war drum in his hand stopped!
"Everyone stand back!"
Throwing the drum hammer in his hand to the man carrying the war drum, Li Zhen's eyes were like lightning, he scanned all directions, and then he shouted loudly, "It's just a little food, and that's what you do? From now on, whoever dares to grab food will be killed!"
"
A murderous word "kill" was uttered, and the soldiers who were still bending over to fight for food immediately stood up straight!
Among these people, some had their mouths filled with burnt blackened food, and they were even more hurriedly swallowing it down!
It's just that the food was very dry, and when it was burned by the fire, it was not easy to swallow. I choked and rolled my eyes.
The chaotic scene finally returned to normal.
Seeing that the situation was under his control again, Li Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
If he hadn't made a decisive decision and sounded the war drum! This chaos would probably have turned into a camp roar or even a mutiny. By then, everything would be over.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen's tone also softened a little. He looked around and shouted, "Don't worry! Now that we have food and have entered the city, from now on, we will not let you go hungry again!"
People from Huotou camp! Go gather all the food and cook it all! Others, follow me to find people from Ningcheng to avenge the brothers who died in the past few days!"
"Looking for someone from Ning Cheng?"
"revenge?"
Hearing this, the other soldiers who were thinking only about food suddenly realized!
That's right! I've already entered the city. Aren't the hard days over? Why are you still worried about not having anything to eat?
The top priority is, shouldn’t we kill all the defenders in the city and then rob the city of all its treasures and women?”
