Chapter Seventy-Three: The Last Madness
There couldn't have been only three men in black who ran into the city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
So, the manhunt continued.
Digging three feet into the ground did not find the rest of the thieves, which made Huang Yuanshou very worried.
The city guards were stationed on the city wall, the most elite guards of Hami were stationed under the city wall, the cavalry and war horses were left in the Tibetan soldier cave, and Meng Yuanzhi had already placed the marshal tent on the arrow tower.
If the enemy attacks, the guards of Loulan City will have to resist for a while, and if they can't resist the guards, they will make up for it, and when the enemy's attack reaches the point of extreme madness, the city gate will be opened, and the cavalry charge will disrupt the enemy's attack.
Counterattacking with the help of the fortified city defense is a strategy formulated by the Hami army a long time ago.
The big cannibals outside the city no longer build an ice city, but use the rapid action of the cavalry to pile yellow sand under Loulan City, a layer of yellow sand and a layer of water, ten days, there has been a large slope under Loulan City that is twenty zhang wide and as high as three zhang.
And there are as many as seven such slopes, and the yellow sand mixed with water only needs a pillar of incense to be firmly glued to the city wall by the bitter cold weather, and the gunpowder bombs will roll down the slope, and even if they explode on the slope, they can only blow up a pit the size of a human head.
The lucky survivors were also covered by trebuchets and raised the slopes in groups with sandbags on their backs.
The killing was still tragic, but this time, even the hard-hearted Hami soldiers couldn't bear it.
The battlefield was originally all about men, but now, among the crowd who rushed up crying with sandbags on their backs, there were many women, many women in very bright clothes.
What a beautiful woman in Guizi.
In the Western Regions, Qiuci is the most desirable place for all beautiful women, only when Qiuci learns singing and dancing, and learns the rhythm, their beauty can have greater value, which is the universal value of the people of the Western Regions.
Women are no different from goods in the Western Regions......
Now, these beautiful women have become cannon fodder......
Light oil falls from the sky, and no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will turn into a charred corpse.
One, two, three...... When a dozen beautiful women fell on the slope and were finally buried by the yellow sand carried by their companions, the lethality of the city head seemed to have weakened somewhat.
And the enemy seems to be even more insane.
"Spray light oil, fast, fast, fast......"
The captain was already extremely angry, the enemy was attacking the city, and those fools who killed a thousand knives were thinking about how to pity the jade.
Under the urging of the whip, one after another nets of fire fell from the sky, taking away batch after batch of lives.
Seeing that the morale of the city guards was not high, Meng Yuanzhi ordered the guards to go up to the city wall to replace these city guards who were already obviously tired.
More than 64,000 Qarakhanids worked day and night to raise the slope, and 21,000 Great Eaters were watching in the darkness as soon as the slope was laid.
Boss Lei has been very lucky these days, and he can always pick up one or two dead heads at the right time and in the right place.
He was not surprised at all about this, and it was the most important thing to carry these heads to the palace for rewards.
The head of the big cannibal is not ordinary in the city, even if it is picked up from an unknown source, it is a good feat.
After all, in Loulan City, the Great Cannibal represents the enemy.
Boss Lei picked up a total of eleven heads in five days, and exchanged one hundred and ten gold coins from Fu Zun.
He hid all the gold coins and did not use any of them, and he thought that someone might come to him and ask him for them.
On the sixth day, the seventh day, there was no head for him to pick up, even if he always went to the middle of nowhere, he didn't find a new head, which made Boss Lei very disappointed.
Seeing that Boss Lei was roasting the fire without saying a word, the camel sat beside him and said, "Didn't you pick it up today?" ”
Boss Lei shook his head and said with some regret: "There may really be no spies this time, after all, there are not many spies who can escape into the city." ”
"Someone can help you!"
Boss Lei nodded and said, "I know, but I don't know who this hero is, I helped him get his bounty, and he didn't dare to move."
Camel, who do you think this good man is? can kill eleven black-clothed people alone, this ability is probably the first in our Loulan City. ”
The camel smiled: "You didn't check? ”
Boss Lei laughed and said, "What are you looking for?" Who of us in Loulan City doesn't have a little privacy?
If you can check, this matter is simpler, the head is there, where is the body? Eleven strong men, even meat ......"
Having said this, Boss Lei's face suddenly turned pale, and he turned his head to look at the camel with difficulty and asked, "Have you eaten the meat buns of your grandmother's family in the past few days?" ”
The camel nodded and said: "I've eaten it, I just ate it in the morning, my grandmother's craftsmanship is good, I heard that it's a real Taixue bun, I don't eat one meal a day, I don't have the strength to do it."
What is this for, you ask? ”
Boss Lei endured the vomiting and said with difficulty: "During this time, Loulan City was besieged by the army, the food was controlled, and the official family no longer supplied meat, where did the meat in the meat bun in the grandmother's house come from?" ”
After listening to Boss Lei's words, the camel's face also turned pale, and after retching two mouthfuls of water, he beat his chest vigorously and said: "I've already eaten it, forget it, if Grandma Sun is that good man, I'm not going to go to her for bad luck." ”
"Her family used to run a black shop, and she used to use sweat medicine, do you think it could be that she numbed the group of people in black?"
The camel shuddered, and hurriedly said: "I don't want to know, you have to check, you have to check, I don't want to die yet, I don't want to be wrapped into a bun." ”
Lei Boss Lele the belt, straddled the knife on the belt, and said to the camel: "Lao Tzu is a fast catcher, even if you don't arrest her, you have to ask a clear understanding, take the man in black to make the bun stuffing, Lao Tzu pretended not to see it, I was afraid that she would make the bun and take her own people to make the bun." ”
The steamed bun shop of the grandmother's house is at the corner of the street, and a red copper and a fist-sized meat bun are the most affordable.
When she entered the city, her grandmother said that she was too old to cultivate the land, so she used her own land to add a house, and exchanged the larger house at the corner of the street with others, which was specially used to make meat buns.
There are no pigs in Loulan City, so I have to use beef and mutton as fillings, but fortunately there is no shortage of spices here, the buns are delicious, and there are many guests who come and go.
In winter, the steamer is steamy, the meat is fragrant, and there are many idlers waiting to eat meat buns around the steamer.
In the past, as long as he smelled this smell, Boss Lei would buy two buns to satisfy his hunger no matter what, but today, when he smelled the fragrance, he felt sick and nauseated in his chest.
The old face of the grandmother, in the white steam, is like Meng Po on the edge of the Yellow Spring, the freshly released buns are white and fat, fresh and delicious, the idlers are a cage, and I bought a clean one of the more than a dozen cage drawer buns with a lot of effort.
During this period of time, working for the government, everyone has some copper in their hands, and it is not too much to eat some meat buns on nine cold days.
"Granny Sun is reasonable." Boss Lei felt his tongue whirling.
Seeing that it was Boss Lei, the grandmother who was cleaning up the cage drawer saw that it was Boss Lei, and hurriedly smiled: "The big official is here, it's not a coincidence, the buns have just been sold out."
If you want to eat, come back in the afternoon. ”
Boss Lei swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Grandma Sun, don't sell this meat bun." ”
The elder who immediately pulled the old face of the grandmother of the grandmother, and said hatefully: "The old woman has this ability to make a living, if she doesn't sell buns, will she sell herself?" Are you interested in my goosebumps? ”
Boss Lei shook his hands like wheels, and hurriedly said: "I didn't say that I wouldn't let you sell vegetable buns, even beef and mutton buns you can sell, even if it's horse meat...... Stinky Meat ...... It's just this...... Forget about the spiced meat buns. ”
Seeing that Boss Lei seemed to know, Grandma Sun sighed helplessly and said, "What a lot of meat...... It's a pity to throw it in the dirt pit. ”
Boss Lei raised his head suddenly, looked at his grandmother in surprise and said, "You didn't kill the person?" ”
Grandma Sun hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's a pity that the old woman can kill so many strong men......"
Boss Lei only felt that the green tendons on his forehead were jumping, and as soon as he grabbed the placket of his grandmother's clothes, he lifted her from behind the table, slammed her on the ground, and stepped on Su Pozi's chest and scolded angrily: "You old pious woman, dare to sell human meat buns in Loulan City, aren't you afraid that God will thunder and kill you?" ”
After speaking, he kicked his grandmother in the stomach hard, and the grandmother curled up into a ball with a scream.
Boss Lei kicked open the door of his grandmother's house, only to see a row of headless corpses hanging on the shelves on the north wall of the courtyard......
On this day, there were countless people in Loulan City who vomited and diarrhea......
Grandma Sun was killed by the angry Fuzun Huang Yuanshou on the spot, which made him feel that his efforts to educate the people were all in vain.
Liu Mouse saw that his grandmother was beaten by the boards of the officials, and he regretted it a little, feeling that he should not have thrown the corpse casually.
It's all from the neighbors, and it's not good to hurt anyone.
The spies' heads and corpses were closed, and two of them were only skeletons left, so that Huang Yuanshou could be sure that the spies who entered the city were now dead.
A boulder hanging over his heart finally landed.
The spies in the city were cleared, and the enemies outside the city became more and more violent, and the seven slopes, almost made of corpses, finally approached the top of the wall.
The ice flew wildly at the head of Loulan City, dense as hailstones, and groups of tall armored and blindfolded camels rushed up along the slope like crazy.
Mu Xin, who was heavily armoured, appeared in front of the two armies for the first time, and his cold gaze seemed to have crossed the wide battlefield and stared at Meng Yuanzhi's body.
Behind the camels, there were men in black who leaped like flying, and the dense rain of arrows caused the charging camels to fall to the ground, and there were still more camels with crossbow arrows all over their bodies and continued to run wildly.
When the camels were blocked by the barbed iron fence erected at the head of the city, the men in black jumped on the backs of the camels, which had not yet died, and crossed the fence with a great turn.
