Chapter 412 I will live
"These camp slaves are so presumptuous! They don't even know they are about to die, and they are still asking for wine and meat!"
When a general heard the soldiers report the demands of the soldiers, he sneered, but after thinking about it, he decided to meet the dying wishes of these dying people.
If these camp slaves are not satisfied and make a fuss and refuse to fight, it will be very troublesome. After all, whoever falls into the evil plan of the thief will die. The two senior officials who stayed behind were already anxious, so there was no need to make trouble over such a small matter.
Soon, ten fat sheep and several jars of muddy wine were sent to the slave camp. Gao Le, who had already landed from the Jinshui River, stepped forward and said to the soldiers who were transporting wine and food: "Thank you, General, for your consideration for the camp slaves. Eating alone is always unhappy. Please stay here and share the wine and food!"
These soldiers were naturally unwilling to get along with these camp slaves. After hearing this, they felt very resistant. However, seeing that Gao Le and the soldiers around him all had unfriendly expressions and fierce eyes, they were afraid of angering these camp slaves, so they nodded reluctantly and agreed.
As Gao Le waved his hand, the surrounding soldiers immediately rushed forward, dragged all the fat sheep to the Jinshui River, slaughtered, skinned and bled them in one go.
Since they were unfortunately captured in the defeat of Mangshan last year, they have hardly seen any oil until now. Some of them couldn't help but hold the sheep's blood full of mutton and send it to their mouths when they killed the sheep, as if it were a delicacy.
"It's a sin for people to have enough food and drink. Although I'm not from the same group as you, it's a favor for me to treat you to a meal of wine and meat. I'll tell you a few words now, and you must listen patiently!" While the other soldiers were killing and roasting sheep, Gao Le called the temporarily appointed team leaders in the camp to come forward and said to them in a serious manner. After hearing this, several people nodded in response, so Gao Le asked people to bring the soldiers who had been detained before to come forward, put a knife against one of them and asked viciously: "Tell me the truth, why did you let us, the camp slaves, go to fight tonight?" "You cowardly camp slave, you..." The man still had some courage and couldn't stand being humiliated by these camp slaves. He was about to curse, but he stopped as soon as he spoke, and his chest was pierced by the steel knife in Gao Le's hand. Pulling out the sword stuck in the soldier's chest, Gao Le wiped the blood splashed on his face and pointed the sword at another soldier: "Can you answer me?"
"Yes, because..."
The soldier was also frightened at this moment, and hesitantly told the reason.
After hearing this, several sergeants present couldn't help but gasp. They didn't expect that they would face such a vicious situation in this battle. Their current situation is indeed a bit worse than death, but they don't want to be tortured and killed like this!
After making everyone understand that this was a dead end, Gao Le immediately said: "I don't know whether you are happy to live or die, but I will never be willing to be burned to death in the battle! There is one more thing to tell you. The people occupying Jinyang Palace at this time are your Guanxi troops, and the leader Li Boshan is my old acquaintance.
He led the elite troops and broke through the Jinyang army formation, which shows that the army is powerful. If you are willing to start an uprising with me in front of the battlefield, you can not only break out of the way, but also follow him back to Guanxi! This is all. If you want to live, you will swear an oath of blood. If you want to die, you will commit suicide here and don't burden your comrades!"
At this point, he turned the blade again and killed another detained soldier, and smeared the blood on the blade on his lips with his fingers.
"I am not afraid of death, let alone life? I am willing to start an uprising with the warriors in front of the battlefield!"
After seeing this, the others also drew their swords and killed a soldier one after another, swearing an oath of blood.
At this time, the skinned fat sheep had been placed on the bonfire. The sworn captains guarded a bonfire each, holding a sharp knife to divide the meat for the people, and distributed the sour soup and turbid wine to everyone.
Ten roasted sheep were naturally not enough to feed these soldiers and camp slaves who were in their prime and had been malnourished for a long time, but the taste of each person was enough to awaken the scene and taste of the feast of wine and meat in their dusty memories.
Seeing that the people in the camp were all licking and savoring the smell of mutton on their fingers and lips with an intoxicated look, Gao Le strode onto a half-zhang high mound in the camp, overlooking the crowd and shouted: "Boys, is the fat sheep's blood and meat fragrant?"
"Fragrant, fragrant!"
At first, there were only a few responses, but soon more and more people joined in, and for a while, the heart-wrenching and uniform roars resounded throughout the countryside. Some people in other nearby camps were also disturbed, and the patrol soldiers who had been paying attention to the movements here came here quickly.
"Blood and flesh are delicious, but there is too little! I know where there is more. Do you dare to follow me to take it?"
As he spoke, Gao Le jumped off the mound and strode towards the camp gate. Everyone in the camp was attracted by him. When he arrived in front of the camp gate, he swung the big knife in his hand and smashed the gate.
"Camp slaves, retreat!"
At this time, the patrol soldiers also rode their horses to the front. The man in the front shook the long spear in his hand and was about to scare Gao Le away.
However, Gao Le threw the knife aside, and instead thrust his arms forward, grasping the spear in both hands. He sank his horse and lifted the knight off the horse's back. He swung it hard and smashed it to the ground. He swung the horse spear he had taken back, and the few feet in front of the camp gate were empty.
"The strong eat meat, the weak eat grass. I am brave and invincible. Who dares to bully me? Kill!"
With the horse spear in hand, the strong man is like a tiger out of the cage, a bear out of the yoke, the long spear in his hand dances like a dragon, flying left and right, and anyone who stands in his way will be torn into blood and killed on the spot!
"Eat meat, eat meat!"
Seeing Gao Le's bravery, the soldiers in the camp who were still recalling the smell of tangyang finally couldn't bear it anymore. The ferocious anger that had been suppressed in their hearts for several years suddenly burst out. Under the leadership of their respective commanders, Break through the camp fence and rush towards the nearby camp target.
Because of their low status, the slave camps were set up along the Jinshui River in the outermost area, and the camps closest to them were inhabited by criminals and prisoners who were even worse than them.
Those criminals were a real mob. Seeing these ghost-like camp slaves roaring and fighting towards them, they did not dare to touch them at all. They immediately rushed out of the camp and headed towards Jinyang City where there were more people. direction to escape.
The years of internment and servitude have indeed tortured these prisoners of war to a terrible state, but they are also professional soldiers from six towns and have been passed down from generation to generation. The fighting instinct that has penetrated into the bone marrow has not been eliminated. Once the sword and gun are in hand, that kind of The bloodthirsty and ferocious nature has no way to contain it, and it is all unleashed unscrupulously!
Supported by this violent aura, these prisoners of war broke through several camps set up on the outside almost without any bloodshed.
At first, it was just a matter of catharsis, but gradually their sanity returned, and all kinds of fighting skills and experience came to mind. They no longer rushed aimlessly, but selectively attacked various camps, allowing the commotion to continue to expand.
At the same time, they are also looking for useful supplies in these washed-out camps. Although these are all miscellaneous weapons and equipment rations that Jinyang Bafu has just collected from everywhere, they are also very shabby, but if they want to let them invest effectively For combat, basic swords and sticks are always provided.
Therefore, after rushing through several camps one after another, these prisoners of war basically had one sword in hand. If they were lucky, they got guns, armor and bows. Without the commander's orders, they began to mix and match their equipment according to the characteristics of their respective equipment.
How to form an effective formation is one of their common senses. The years of life as prisoners of war have made the slaves in the camp who depend on each other more cooperative.
If when they broke out of the slave camp, they were just a group of manic people who were carried away by their anger and completely lost their reason. But after breaking out of several camps and spontaneously integrating internally, they became a brave and tenacious force. A capable division!
Several camps were in panic one after another, and soon the entire southern suburbs of Jinyang City were affected by the scattered soldiers who bombed the camps. It would be fine if they just scattered and fled for their lives, but the most dangerous thing was to continue to attack Jinyang City, and the first ones to bear the brunt were the dignitaries and mansions scattered in the south city.
When Jinyang Palace was first captured, all the powerful families in the south of Jinyang City were mobilized. Now there are only a few people left in each family, and it can be said that it is almost completely undefended.
Those prisoners and criminals who were frightened by the riot and fled were originally just fleeing for their lives in a panic, but after entering these mansions by mistake, they immediately opened the door to a new world, just like Li Tai who was prepared to die for money when he first entered Jinyang Palace. The mouse fell into the rice vat, feeling indescribably happy, and naturally wanted to loot it.
Originally, when the riot first broke out, Shedigan and Gao Yue in the inner city were still trying their best to restrain the soldiers and were waiting for an opportunity to suppress the riot. Therefore, the order in the city was pretty good and the impact of the riot was minimal.
But when they saw their respective residences being rushed into, burned, killed, and looted by random soldiers, the powerful tribesmen naturally couldn't bear it any longer. Of course, they were loyal to King Gao, and they were also very concerned about the safety of Jinyang City, and were willing to fight for it. War, but the premise is that your family can be safe. Now that his family has been so ruined, who cares whether Jinyang Palace has been recaptured?
As a result, many dignitaries and dignitaries withdrew one after another, causing the war situation here to become riddled with holes.
Not to mention how She Di Qian and Gao Yue struggled to make amends, if Li Tai in Jinyang Palace didn't know how to seize this opportunity, he wouldn't be worthy of pity if he died here.
Although he didn't know what was going on in the outside world, he could hear the various commotions very clearly. He immediately ordered the palace filled with oil to be set on fire, and immediately led his troops to evacuate. First, Liang Shiyan led 600 sergeants there. He went to the Xishan Quarry Road to browse the Xishan and headed west. He led the remaining men and horses, climbed over the defense line that had been burned and filled with ashes, and rushed straight to the Eastern Wei military camp in the north of Jinyang Palace.
Because the military camp here is backed by Luocheng, there will only be a few hundred troops stationed there if there is no attack. At this time, the chaos in Nancheng was also heard in Luocheng, and the general She Diqian was not in the city, so he did not dare to rush reinforcements. Therefore, Li Tai and his party easily rushed into the camp and killed nearly two hundred people in a killing blow. The rest all circled the city and collapsed.
After defeating this enemy camp, Li Tai and his party had no time to stop. Although the southern wall of Luocheng was slightly lower than the northern wall, it could not be conquered in a short time, so they quickly circled the city and prepared to rush there. Adding fuel to the fire in the south where the riots are most intense.
But when they walked around Jinyang Palace, hundreds of well-armed elite soldiers were coming north from the east side of the palace gate. They were all stunned when they saw the oncoming people. Li Tai was overjoyed immediately. Knowing that he had hit a big fish, Da Shan pointed forward and shouted loudly: "Who is the thief? Get off your horse quickly and be captured!"
Shedigan, who was among the soldiers guarding him, was greatly surprised when he saw the handsome young general opposite him. He had already imagined many times who the leader of the bandit army was and what he would look like, but he could never imagine that he would look like this.
But after being surprised, he pointed at Li Tai and said angrily: "Whoever can capture this disciple will be rewarded generously by King Gao!"
Following his order, all the soldiers nearby rode up to fight. Zhu Meng and other soldiers beside Li Tai also rushed forward. The two sides soon started fighting in the narrow alley.
The guards of Shedigan's soldiers were indeed very brave, and Zhu Meng and others were not weaklings either. The alleys were not spread out, so after the fight there was a stalemate.
Now that Jinyang is in chaos, Li Tai is not worried about being surrounded by troops from all over. Seeing that Zhu Meng and others are gradually exhausted, he personally leads his troops to replace them.
He could afford to spend money here, but Shedi Qian was worried about the safety of Luo City, so he directly ordered the soldiers to retreat into the palace wall, and couldn't help but roared angrily inside the wall: "Who is the thief general? Do you dare to stay?" What’s your name? If we fight again in the future, I will take your life!”
After Li Tai heard this, he laughed loudly and was too lazy to use his rhetoric. He knew that the palace city was easy to defend and difficult to attack. After seeing Shedigan retreating into it, he did not intend to continue the attack. After all, the city on the east side was also garrisoned. There are quite a few, and I can already hear the sound of armored soldiers quickly gathering here.
Taking advantage of the clearing of the alleyway, Li Tai led the crowd to rush out. When he walked around Jinyang Palace and looked south, he saw fireworks everywhere, like a Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. No wonder there was a siege around Jinyang Palace. It will collapse so quickly.
He was also a little confused when this happened. Although I still don't know the specific reason, it is always a good thing, so I ordered my subordinates to shout the previous slogan again. In this situation of chaos in the city, it will be more convincing.
"May I ask if the front is Guanxi Li Kaifu?"
After a few shouts, several riders from the south rushed towards me. They were all skinny and dry, and even the armors they wore were shaky, but they loudly asked with joy on their faces: "A certain person is the remnant soul of Mang Mountain." , I have been trapped in the bandit camp for several years. Because I heard that Li Kaifu’s powerful soldiers had entered here, the camp volunteered to help Kaifu, and begged Kaifu to show mercy and attract Xigui..."
After Li Tai heard this, he was immediately happy. He hurriedly ordered people to bring these people in front of him. He responded with a smile: "I am Li Boshan. I was ordered by Yuwen Daxingtai to come here to attack the thieves. Wait until Mangshan is not dead and God's will is not there." If you give up, if you still have the loyalty to help achieve success, I will live it up! Together with the people, we will triumph!"
