Chapter 72 Slaughtering prisoners
Nan Fengguo responded to Li Xiao and lit a group of soldiers and walked down the city. Li Xiao took out his myopia tube and watched on the city wall. Although he told Nan Fengguo that he wanted to fight with fire, he was really unsure.
Li Xiao thought to himself, thinking, "There are only eight thousand soldiers and horses in Tianyang City, but the spiritual army has at least fifty thousand soldiers, which is exactly the opposite of when he besieged Tianyang. Now the guest has become the master. What should I do? Even if these eight thousand soldiers and horses are brave and good at fighting, they cannot break through the three spirit army. If only Mr. Ye is there, he will definitely have a way."
Li Xiao took the myopia tube to search for the weakness of the Ling Army, thinking to himself: "At that time, the Ling Army left Tianyang silently and walked through the underground passage. The Ling Army entered the city to attack the granary, which means that the blocked passage has been dug up again. What if I led people to break through the passage?"
Thinking of this, he took the myopia tube to look out to the entrance of the passage outside the city. The entrance of the passage was also surrounded by the Ling Army. Li Xiao patted his forehead and thought to himself: "I'm confused, confused, if I take people into the passage, I'm really looking for death. The inside is not as fierce as the divine beast. The Ling Army also knows where this passage is, and it will inevitably be heavily guarded. How can I break through?"
Li Xiao turned to look at Ruixin beside him and said to Ruixin: "Xin'er, do you have any good ways to break through?"
Ruixin shook her head and said, "Young Master, have you figured out a solution? Fight with the fire."
Li Xiao looked at Ruixin and smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "This is a solution. This will inevitably lead to a fierce battle. There are too many casualties. We still have to find a perfect solution."
Ruixin nodded and said, "I will follow the arrangements of the young master."
Li Xiao sat on the battlements of the city wall, holding his cheeks with both hands, and his little fingers kept bounced his cheekbones. He sighed from time to time, thinking about countless scenes of breaking through, but he was rejected by himself.
Li Xiao understood that during this period, as long as he opened the city gate, he would be surrounded by the spiritual army in an instant, and these thousands of people would be taken to death by himself. While he was hesitating, a scent of meat floated up the city wall. The defenders on the city smelled the fragrance and began to stir up.
Li Xiao turned around and saw Nan Fengguo, carrying some soldiers, pushing several large carts, walking on the horse road of the city wall. There were large buckets without lids on the cart. With the light of the fire, you could see the heat waves floating out of the buckets, and the fragrance spreads with the heat waves.
The defenders in the city had not yet entered the rice for three days. When they smelled the aroma of meat in the bucket, they were already salivating. Everyone wanted to have a feast. The soldiers put down their weapons and surrounded Nanfengguo.
Li Xiao asked Nanfeng National Highway: "Have you all been divided?"
Nan Fengguo looked sad and nodded, saying, "It's all divided, just now, every team of soldiers has been assigned."
Li Xiao nodded and smiled, "Did the soldiers notice something strange?"
Nan Fengguo shook his head and said, "It's just that some captains asked where the meat came from. I scolded several captains, but no one asked again. The soldiers are in a mess now, so how can they care about these? I have already comforted the soldiers who cook meat, don't worry, uncle."
Li Xiao nodded and said, "Those captains who asked questions, please give their names a few times, and you will have the chance to reuse these people in the future."
Nan Fengguo was puzzled, and Li Xiao said again: "These people have their own ideas. When they know that the army has cut food, they have to ask clearly what's wrong. These people are not much better than those who only know how to eat, sleep and fight. These people need to use them."
Nan Fengguo nodded and said, "Second uncle Gao Ming, will we break through tonight?"
Li Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, let the soldiers eat their fill first, and then we decide. Don't you eat some?"
Nan Fengguo smiled bitterly and said, "Meat is also eaten, but we are a great country of etiquette. The education we received since childhood does not allow us to do this. We still feel a little unwilling to let go. I am not too hungry." He said that and swallowed.
Li Xiao smiled and said, "Put a bowl of meat to me, eat and drink, and then find a way to break through."
Nan Fengguo nodded and turned around to feed Li Xiao. He heard a soldier say, "What is this?"
Li Xiao, Ruixin, and Nanfeng Kingdom looked at the soldier in unison, and saw the soldier holding half of his cooked palm and watching in front of him, while the rest of the soldiers came over.
A soldier exclaimed and began to retching, spitting out all the meat he had eaten. The other soldier was puzzled and asked the vomiting soldier. The soldier said while vomiting, "Yes, it's humans, humans."
When the soldiers heard this, they looked at each other, and some began to retching. One soldier said, "Did the general give us food to our brothers who died in battle?"
Nan Fengguo was stunned and looked at Li Xiao. All the soldiers also fell in love with Li Xiao. Li Xiao did not answer, but walked towards the wooden barrel, picked up a large bowl, scooped a bowl in the barrel, and started eating on his own.
Li Xiao quickly finished a large bowl of meat and said, "It tastes very good, like mutton or dog meat. Why do you spit out such good meat?"
The soldier who vomited the most was crying and replied, "Go back to General, is this the meat of our brothers who died in battle? Are you asking us to eat the same kind?"
Li Xiao shook his head and said, "This is not our kind of person. The meat of our kind does not taste this way. I have eaten it. The meat on our own is a bit bitter and difficult to swallow, but these meats are very fragrant and tender, right?"
When the soldiers heard Li Xiao say that they had eaten similar meat, they were all confused. Li Xiao saw the soldiers' thoughts and said, "A year ago, I sent troops to Chen You to attack Chen Shui, but I was ambushed and wiped out all my troops. I fell into the headless valley. At the entrance of the valley, there was an old man guarding the valley and gave me some meat. I was like you, and I was hungry and didn't eat any meat at all. The old man in my stomach told me that it was his old woman's meat."
All the soldiers held the bowl in their hands and listened carefully to Li Xiao's words. When Li Xiao saw the soldiers calm down, he continued to talk about the matter in the Headless Valley. After that, he went to serve another bowl of meat.
Li Xiao said while eating: "Brothers, the Spirit Army is here to invade us, are we afraid of them?"
When the soldiers heard Li Xiao’s question, some lowered their heads, some blushed their faces, and some looked into the distance. Li Xiao knew that his morale was impossible to break through.
Li Xiao said, "We are not afraid of them, right? I will repay them twice as much as the evil deeds committed by the Three Spirits on our land. What are we? We are human beings who value etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. We are Shangbang. You are the warriors who protect us. What are the Three Spirits? They are beasts and barbarians. If we are afraid of them, they will run rampant on my land, rape, kill, rape, rape, rape, rape, or rape, we will fight them back, right?"
Li Xiao said in a slight and slight voice, but the soldiers did not respond. Li Xiao smiled bitterly and continued, "When the Three Spirits are rampant in our homeland, we hate them to the core, and we wish we could eat their flesh and drink their blood, right?"
As soon as these soldiers said this, the soldiers still did not react much. Li Xiao asked again, "We wish we could eat their flesh and drink their blood, right?" The three words "Is it true" are powerful.
This time some soldiers began to cater to each other and said in unison: "Yes, we wish we could eat their flesh and drink their blood."
Li Xiao nodded and shouted: "Okay, let me tell you the truth. What you eat now is the meat of the Three Spirits and the blood of the Three Spirits. We are not afraid of them, right?"
After hearing Li Xiao's words, the soldiers looked at each other and felt a little unbelievable. Li Xiao said to Nan Fengguo: "Gather all the soldiers and bring the heads of the two thousand spiritual soldiers."
Nan Fengguo nodded and thought to himself, "This waiter is really courageous." Then he went to pass the message.
Li Xiao then said to the soldiers: "I ordered these two thousand spiritual troops to chop them up. I wanted the soldiers to eat their meat raw, but these three spiritual tribes were extremely dirty. They could only dig their hearts, peel them, wash them, and eat the good meat for us. Now that we eat their meat, they will be afraid of us. We just treat them as livestock. Whatever their heads grow into, they will treat them as livestock. Once we are butchers, we will kill cattle, dogs, and sheep during the New Year. If we like to eat meat, we will chop up the three spiritual tribes with heads."
When the soldiers heard Li Xiao say this, they let go of the same things in their hearts. Although the Three Spirits are not the same race, they are also humans after all, they are just different people. They speak the same language and write consent. Before this war, there were still many intersections between the various races, so each soldier couldn't help but feel a little confused. After hearing Li Xiao say it, he will feel better.
Seeing that his words were effective, Li Xiao continued: "The Three Spirits have never regarded us as friends. Their beast nature has always been there. They will be cannibalistic, let alone us. If we are captured by them, their methods will be much crueler than us. Brothers, let go of your heart. After eating and drinking, I will take you out and take your courage to kill all the livestock that besieged us, eat their flesh and drink their blood."
The soldiers were feeling much better after Li Xiao excused themselves. At this time, the soldiers in Tianyang City had gathered together, and several large chariots were shuttled by the soldiers. The chariot was filled with two thousand bloody spiritual army heads, and the smell of blood was very pungent.
These soldiers confirmed that they were the prisoners of these three spirit races. Each of them did not feel disgusted, but were extremely proud.
Li Xiao nodded to Nan Fengguo and said again: "Soldiers, we have all eaten the meat of these beasts and drank the blood of these beasts. We rushed out and chopped the beasts that besieged us, brought their heads and blood back to Chen You, and distributed them to our soldiers, and told them. We were fighting back from eating the meat of the Three Spirits, eating the meat and drinking the blood."
This time, Li Xiao changed his brothers to soldiers. At this time, the morale of the people and soldiers had been awakened by Li Xiao. He looked at the head of the spiritual army on the cart and smiled coldly.
