Chapter 182: As a man, I stand upright(1/2)
The dark moon kills people on a night, and the wind blows high and sets people on fire.
Under the north city wall, there was a huge fire in the rioters' camp. The flames burned stronger and stronger due to the strong wind, and spread dozens of feet in the blink of an eye.
The rioters and soldiers were burned, crying for their fathers and mothers, running like wolves and pigs, and their howls were shocking and could be heard for three or four miles.
Immediately, the entire North Camp, which was nearly ten miles long, started to commotion.
Fortunately, Li Wenxiao's soldiers were always stationed in Beicheng. Each battalion was stationed separately and not connected together. In addition, the wind was blowing from the west, and the fire started from the easternmost camp. Most of the camps were destroyed.
It was in the lee of the wind, so there was no tragedy like burning the camp.
In addition, there were many generals and generals in the northern camp who knew how to fight, so it took a short time to pacify the soldiers and civilians.
If this were replaced by Liu Huiwang's southern camp, I'm afraid the camp would break down immediately...
Even so, even if this fire cannot burn thousands of people, hundreds of them will be trampled to death.
The two brothers swung their legs so fast that they almost used up their strength to suck the milk, and ran towards the bottom of the city wall.
A dozen steps away, Li Hao rode a horse and led a dozen soldiers in hot pursuit. While chasing, he cursed: "What a thief, if I don't kill you under the horse today, I swear I won't be a human being."
..."
For two horses, two brothers actually set fire to the entire military camp?
If the henchmen on duty hadn't been alert, these two bastards might have tried to sneak into their camp and stabbed themselves...
Li Hao's intestines are so full of regret.
Just two horses...
If he had known that these two brothers were so strong-willed and would risk their lives for such a small fortune, he would have been honest and wouldn't even lift a finger.
Even if it’s as if he were his biological father, it would be fine...
But it's too late to say anything now.
Everything was caused by his greed for money. Neither Liu Huiwang nor Li Wenxiao could treat such a big change as nothing happened. If we dig deeper, the story of how his greed for money caused his subordinates to rebel and burn the camp would not be possible at all.
I can’t hide it...
Not to mention whether you can survive, will the dozens of people in your family be implicated and taken to the camp to be used as military rations?
The more Li Hao thought about it, the more frightened he became. In his fear, he took great courage and urged his horse to pursue him. Before he knew it, he was under the city wall.
Now that he was about to catch up, Li Hao was about to slash with his knife, but found that the two brothers had stopped.
The two jumped onto a pile of corpses. Li Cong was hurriedly untying his bow from his back, while Li Rui turned to the city and shouted: "Don't shoot arrows, we are messengers..."
This thing is so lacking. How can there be so many arrows in the city to waste?
That is to say, when a large group of mobs came to fill the city, the defenders would only fire a few rounds. Usually, they would save what they could.
Seeing that there were only a few people running towards the city, a few guards brought a pot. The water in the pot was boiling, and they were ready to wait for them to get closer before pouring it over their heads.
At this time, when he heard that it was a messenger who came to the city, the leader immediately asked the soldiers to move the pot farther away, and sent another subordinate to report to Hu Duo and Li Shixian...
Seeing that there were really no arrows on the city, Li Rui was determined. He turned around and drew the knife from his waist.
When he turned around, he realized that there was only Li Hao in front of him, and the dozen soldiers were dilly-dallying in the distance...
The road was bumpy and bumpy, with dead bodies everywhere. Li Hao's horse couldn't run fast at all, otherwise his two brothers wouldn't have been able to escape to the city so smoothly.
So it's not that Li Hao ran too fast, but that no matter how stupid the soldiers were, they still knew how to cherish their lives. If they rushed closer, the defenders on the top of the city would shoot arrows.
Li Hao is just a Shangguan, not his biological father. Who would willingly accompany him to death?
Li Rui laughed wildly: "Dog thief, this is where you will die today..."
Only then did Li Hao realize that there was not a single subordinate around him, and they were all hesitating more than ten steps behind him?
"What a bunch of forgetful people..." He suddenly broke into a cold sweat and wanted to run away.
Having reached this point, how could the two brothers let him go back alive?
Li Cong immediately fired an arrow and shot it accurately on Li Hao's body. Unfortunately, Li Hao was wearing armor, so this arrow could not even kill an itch, let alone kill him.
Li Rui's eyes turned cold, he kicked off his feet, and jumped down from the pile of corpses like flying. He held a knife in one hand and a rattan shield in the other, and killed them fiercely like a skinny tiger descending from the mountain.
Li Hao was so frightened that his eyes were about to burst. He raised his sword and started to chop. He heard a "dong" sound and the blade hit the vine shield firmly, but Li Rui disappeared.
Li Hao was frightened when he suddenly heard a "chi" sound, and then the horse under his crotch neighed violently, and the people behind him stood up.
Then Li Rui was seen flying out from under the horse's belly like a monkey.
If you look closely, you will see that his head and face are covered in blood, and his whole body seems to have been washed out by blood.
No wonder the war horse was frightened, it turned out that he stabbed the horse in the belly...
Li Hao was shocked and angry, but his body refused to obey and fell down. As soon as his back hit the ground, he felt a pain in his neck...
Looking at Li Rui, whose face was covered in blood and who was sneering with his white teeth bared, Li Hao seemed to have seen a ghost.
"Don't...don't kill me..."
As soon as I begged, a surge of blood rushed into my throat, drowning the words that followed.
Li Rui suddenly pulled out the knife, stabbed it downwards and said with a ferocious smile: "So that you can understand clearly: Grandpa is the white-armored marshal Li Chengzhi, and so is Li Rui, the marshal in front of his bodyguard..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the second knife was stabbed. I don't know whether it was from pain or shock. Li Hao's eyes bulged out, almost squeezing out of their sockets. He spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, then tilted his head and was immediately cut off.
Qi.
Li Cong, who had just chased him, cursed angrily: "Why didn't you leave a knife for me?"
"Are you afraid that you won't be killed in the future?" Li Rui drew out his knife and quickly untied Li Hao's armor.
"Can it be the same?"
Li Cong kicked Li Hao twice, then looked at the messy bandit camp in the distance, and cursed in fear, "It's all your fault for not escaping quietly, why did you insist on lighting a fire? I almost didn't escape...
…”
"Can you swallow this breath? Besides, when I set the fire, why didn't I see you making a sound? You seemed to feel more comfortable than me?"
"Nonsense?" Li Cong rolled his eyes, "You may not be able to escape, but you have to pull a few backers if you don't die?"

"That's right!"
Li Rui took off his armor and groped around on Li Hao's body again, and found out a few pieces of copper collars, as well as a few pearls, "Lang Jun often said that if you are born a man, you should stand upright... You can't live without food."
, death should be cooked in five cauldrons..."
Li Cong was shocked.
Is it appropriate for you to say something like this when you are doing such a sneaky business?
What makes him even more unhappy is: He understands the truth, but why can’t he say such heroic words?
They are obviously the children of the same mother, and they grew up together...
"Why are you so stunned?" Li Rui scolded again, "Go and ask the guard for a rope and hang this horse up. At least you can get rid of the meat... The smell of bird is almost gone from your mouth..."
……
The night wind blew across the city, making a strange whining sound. Then it swirled down the wall, making the branches and leaves on the hay shed rustle.
Li Shixian was sleeping deeply, and happened to dream that the city had been destroyed, and the strange noise and wind were like a fight on the battlefield, with people howling and horses neighing.
"Kill..." Li Shixian roared fiercely, like thunder, and Hu Duo fell over in shock.
The flame on the oil lamp was swaying slightly, but it was still dark outside the room.
Looking at Li Shixian again, he was lying like a big character, snoring loudly.
Hu Duo breathed a sigh of relief.
Is it difficult to sleep peacefully?
He was about to continue sleeping when he vaguely heard what sounded like a shouting of murder. After listening carefully, it was clear that it was coming from outside the north city wall.
The rebels attacked the city at night?
But why didn’t the city’s garrison come to report?
Hu Duo was suspicious and bent down to pick up the boots.
But before he even put on his clothes, he heard the shaking of armor and the sound of running quickly. It seemed that a general was running towards the penthouse.
Sure enough, I came to Bingbao...
Just when he was guessing, he heard another loud click, and Li Shixian stood up. Without even wearing any shoes, he grabbed the knife and ran behind the door, as if he was about to rush out.
Hu Duo was startled.
The two of them had never been in the same room before, so they didn't know that Li Shixian had nocturnal syndrome?
Just when I was thinking about how to wake him up, I took a closer look and saw that Li Shixian's eyes were as bright as bells.
What is a night tour?
Not only was the person awake, but he was also listening to the noise outside the door. He was obviously awakened by the sound of beetle leaves shaking, thinking that thieves were coming.
