Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 539 1 Road to the West

In the end, the county magistrate gave in, and bags of grain were carried out and thrown down!

Every time a bag of grain is dropped, the more than [-] Xixia soldiers below will cheer!They were really hungry, the food was still raw, but countless soldiers had already jumped on the food and just swallowed it!

Even Li Lingde and Eunuch Liu couldn't help swallowing!These days, even they are starting to have enough to eat.

Li Lingde thought for a moment, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Pick up all the food and distribute it later!"

Immediately, the soldiers went to carry out Li Lingde's order. They drove away the soldiers looting the food, and then piled up the food!

A total of more than 300 bags of grain were thrown from above, which is already a lot, but these grains are still far from meeting the needs of the more than [-] troops below!

Eunuch Liu looked at the county magistrate above, and said viciously: "This damn slave, after we drive away the Han people, we will never spare him! Not only can we not spare him, but we can't spare everyone in the county in front of us! When the time comes , all men will be reduced to slaves, and all women will be turned into military prostitutes! Hmph, we’ll deal with them then!”

Li Lingde nodded and said, "Let's distribute the food first!"

Eunuch Liu frowned, and said: "Such a small amount of food is distributed to more than a hundred thousand soldiers, and each of them doesn't have much. What's the use of it?"

Li Lingde smiled wryly: "It's better than nothing!"

Soon, the food began to spread!One by one, the soldiers went under the city wall to receive food, basically each person only had half a bowl!But even so, only tens of thousands of people were divided, and the food was divided again!

Those soldiers who had grabbed the food had already devoured it all together, while those who hadn't grabbed the food were making a lot of noise!Not long after, the army was in chaos. Even the generals couldn't control the soldiers under them, and they were about to blow up the camp.

Li Lingde was shocked. He strode down to the city wall again, and said to the county magistrate above, "Hurry up and throw some more food down, otherwise I won't be able to control the army, and they will definitely attack the city!"

When the county magistrate saw the scene in the distance, his face changed drastically!He nodded, and immediately ordered the people in the city to donate food!Down below, Li Lingde has hurriedly comforted the soldiers, telling them that there will be food thrown down from above!

After an hour, the soldiers below couldn't wait any longer, and at this moment the food was finally thrown down!This time, more than 500 bags of grain were dropped.

The county magistrate looked at the grain thrown down, and felt very sad in his heart.The land in Xixia is barren, and the food production is extremely limited.The grain stored in the warehouse of the county government had already been thrown away, but now all the food thrown away was found from the homes of the people in the city.This winter, it is estimated that many people in the city will starve to death.

"Marshal, you leave quickly! Zhongxing Mansion has been surrounded by Han people for many days, and now it is in great danger. His Majesty is waiting for you, you must not stay here for long!" After throwing all the food down, the county magistrate shouted from above .

"Damn it!" Li Lingde cursed fiercely, and he urged the soldiers to move on after the food was distributed.

******

Almost everyone of the Xixia soldiers swallowed half a bowl of raw food. At least they had some strength in their bodies, and the speed of their journey was finally much faster than before!

It's just that at night, they can't find a place to rest.The villages on the road had been burned by the Liangshan cavalry, and the small towns they passed by did not let them in, so they could only rest in the wilderness.In the winter, the cold wind was dripping in the field, more than [-] troops huddled together, and some soldiers picked up some withered grass and branches to live on, but even so, by the next morning, many soldiers still froze to death.

Li Lingde woke up in the morning, looked at the body of the frozen soldier, and secretly gritted his teeth.He hated it in his heart, and felt that the Han people were extremely vicious!The Han people first set fire to Tiandu Mountain, then looted the military rations brought in from Xiazhou and other places, and now they are fortifying the walls and clearing the fields.If this continues, even if they can reach the Zhongxing Mansion, they probably won't have much fighting power.

"Marshal, something happened up ahead!" At this moment, several soldiers ran over and said in horror.

"What happened?" Li Lingde asked hurriedly, startled.

"Marshal, there's a fight over there!" A soldier said.

"Go, go and have a look!" Li Lingde said.

He got on his horse and headed over there with a group of personal soldiers, and Eunuch Liu followed him!After reaching the front, Li Lingde immediately turned his head, while Eunuch Liu vomited loudly.

It turned out that because the weather was too cold, many soldiers froze to death last night, and the soldiers next to them were gnawing on the bodies of these frozen soldiers!And some soldiers had a very good relationship with those soldiers who died of freezing, so they scolded those soldiers who ate the corpses, and the two sides were beating each other.

"Tell them to stop and bury those corpses!" Li Lingde said with a pale face.

In fact, such a situation is really nothing in this era. Whether it is the Song Dynasty, Khitan or Xixia, if there is a famine, it is very common for people to eat people!But Li Lingde is a child of the royal family, and he has been well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child. How has he ever seen such a scene?At this moment, he only felt that the scene in front of him was extremely cruel, and his stomach began to churn, wanting to vomit!On the other side, a group of soldiers jumped up and swallowed what Eunuch Liu had just vomited, and Eunuch Liu vomited again until nothing could be vomited out.

"Let the soldiers move on." Li Lingde said with a deep sigh.

The Xixia army of more than [-] continued to move forward. At dusk, this army could not move again, so they began to rest in the wilderness again.A few soldiers beside Li Lingde shot a wild deer, and the soldiers are currently grilling meat for Li Lingde and Eunuch Liu to eat.

Li Lingde was holding a deer leg and was gnawing on it, when suddenly he felt something was wrong in the surrounding atmosphere.In their distance, countless soldiers are staring at them.The eyes of these soldiers are very unfriendly, like wild wolves who are extremely hungry, as if they are about to pounce on them at any time!

Gradually, there was a commotion in the army.

"No, throw out what's in your hand! Quick!" Li Lingde said in shock.

He had already thrown the deer leg in his hand towards the distance, while his other hand grabbed the food from Eunuch Liu's hand and threw it towards the distance too!

As soon as the food in their hands was thrown out, countless soldiers rushed over there!Hundreds of people are pressed together, in the dark, these people are looking for those food like wild beasts!After a while, there was a commotion in the army. Some soldiers grabbed the food. They just took a bite, and immediately the knives of the other soldiers fell on them, and then the food went to the hands of the others...

Li Lingde was startled and frightened. He swore secretly that he would never eat wantonly in front of these soldiers in the future, otherwise he would be courting death!From now on, even if they want to eat, they have to eat secretly!Eunuch Liu was also terrified at the moment. It was not easy for him to become one of the chief stewards of Xixia's palace. He immediately thanked Li Lingde.Li Lingde sighed and said, "Sleep!"

The two of them slept here, and countless personal soldiers stood around them, shielding them from the wind. As for those ordinary soldiers, they didn't have such treatment!

Li Lingde slept very deeply, he was really exhausted these days.However, in the middle of the night, there was a sudden scream from the army.

Li Lingde stood up suddenly and said, "What happened?"
