Looking at the camp in the distance from the wall of Qiantuncheng, countless torches lit up the enemy camp that stretched for several miles, and if it was the first time to go to the battlefield, it was estimated that he would be frightened and tremble when he saw this formation.

At this moment, the two thousand people standing on the city wall are in this state.

When Chen Mingyu distributed military rations to the people, everyone was a bowl of hot porridge and a nest of miscellaneous grains, but this was only enough for the people to be hungry.

Even today's construction workers, who do manual work, can't afford half the food of those people.

At that time, the people could not eat meat, so they had to eat more food to supplement protein.

Second, in ancient times, they were all coarse grains, and the coarse ones could not be coarse, which were too far from today's various polished rice, fine noodles, big fish and meat, and must also be filled with quantity and quality.

Anyone who has been to the zoo and seen the giant panda should have the impression that the giant panda seems to be either sleeping or holding the bamboo and gnawing non-stop.

They eat close to 40 percent of their body weight in bamboo almost a day.

There is no other reason, it is also to fill the quality with quantity, fortunately, there is a benefit to eating whole grains, and you don't have to worry about constipation.

The stomach and intestines of the ancients were superb, unlike later generations, most people went to eat whole grains specifically in order to lose weight and improve their stomach.

I'm off topic!

Chen Mingyu emphasized that if you want to eat more and fuller, no problem! But it needs to work.

So it didn't take long for the city wall to recruit a full 2,000 foodies.

"Lord Chen should have told you, don't be afraid, there is not much danger, just remember, don't make a noise!" Yan Yingyuan whispered to these people again.

After explaining everything, according to the previous instructions, the people were divided into groups of five, each group of two ropes, and a rope tied to the waist of a person and unloaded him outside the city wall.

The other rope is tied to a large bamboo basket, and Minzhuang's task is to pick up stones and arrow feathers thrown during the day's defense of the city.

These are consumables, and they are necessities, without which the soldiers defending the city can only fight the enemy with a hand-to-head battle.

Because they couldn't shout, the people under the city wall filled the bamboo basket and had to throw the rope hard, and the four men on the city wall got the signal and pulled the stones and arrow feathers to the city wall.

From time to time, bamboo baskets overturned because they lost their balance, and the falling stones injured the people in the city, but no one screamed.

Alarming the Jianyu in the distance, the people under the city were worried that they would die under the Jianyu knife before they had time to be pulled up the city wall.

The injured Minzhuang was silently pulled up the city wall, and the Minzhuang who was replaced was immediately unloaded......

The moonlight was so faint that it was impossible to see five steps away, and even though the Qiantun city was surrounded by Jianqiang, no one knew what kind of efforts the Ming people who would never give up in the howling wind were doing.

It was not until the second half of the night, until the people under the city had almost emptied all the arrows and stones of the warring sides, that Yan Yingyuan ordered the people to be pulled up the city wall.

But that's not enough, he wants to stay longer, so he has to do more.

Yan Yingyuan raised all the wooden barrels and other utensils in the city, and all the people went to the three wells in the city to get water, and the water was poured down the city wall.

Under the extremely low temperature in the north, the water froze before it reached the city, and it began as a thin layer, and the ice continued to thicken under the continuous pouring of 2,000 people.

This is an extremely physically demanding job, and even later, Yan Yingyuan saw that many people were a little out of strength, and immediately ordered someone to fetch the hot nest head.

When it comes to the lives of themselves and the people in the city, the people are also very competitive, and even many people are holding the head of the nest with their left hand and eating while holding a bucket with their right hand.

Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu have been responsible for supervising the city wall, if there are really people who have been nervous from morning to night, these two are not far behind.

"Two adults, the sky is about to dawn, adults should go down and rest for a while, otherwise how can the adult's body stand it?

Leave the work here to the lowly position! ”

A thousand-household official came forward to ask, he slept for most of the night, and now he came to replace another thousand-household official on duty on the city wall, seeing that he had slept for most of the night, and the general was still on the city wall in the cold wind.

This Qianhu official was ashamed, but also deeply impressed by the two scholars in front of him who had been despised by them.

For generals, trembling, walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss, these proverbs in the book of soldiers, only the generals who are really trapped in the lonely city and the soldiers are in the city, can have a sense of it!

"I'm not tired yet, Gongchen, what about you?" Yan Yingyuan took the liquor handed over by Qianhu officials and took a few sips to stimulate the blood in his body to warm up.

Such a cold winter night, thanks to these spirits, otherwise it would be difficult for many people to survive the bitter cold night.

"Hehe, I think we studied all night for the township test, but we set a record of three days and two nights of sleeplessness." Chen Mingyu also took the wine bag and drank a few sips.

"Yes, three days and two nights! It's a pity that the two of us are ambitious and talented, and in the end, we didn't even pass the exam! Yan Yingyuan sighed, as if recalling the scene when he was studying all night a few years ago.

"Hmph, it's not because of you? Three days before the township test, I had to eat some game, and we had two stomachs for two days, and when we entered the venue, we were all prostrate, where did we have the heart to make a fuss? Chen Mingyu said angrily.

"Haha, it was an accident, an accident! Besides, isn't it good now? Although Wen can't settle the world, Wu can resist the enemy outside the city gate, and he is loyal to the country, and he just ends up in the same way. ”

Yan Yingyuan snorted, the past is unbearable, nearly ten years have passed, the young man who talked about it back then is now a general who guards the town, and the opportunities in life are really magical.

"Yes, I don't know how the three of us can do it, but the Hou Ye values it so much!" Chen Mingyu took out two black steamed buns from the basket behind him, and the two steamed buns were wine, which was also a strange thing.

"Alas, I was also very strange at the time, you said that we are not well-known, and we are not a rich and noble family, Hou Ye Nian and weak crown, how do you know about the two of us?

And Lao Feng, that stuffy gourd that can't hit a fart with eight slaps! ”

In a rare moment of tranquility, the two sat on the high wall and chatted while enjoying the arrival of a new day.

In the last darkness before dawn, the east gradually revealed a pale red, and then the red gradually brightened, and then brightened, and turned golden, until the red sun broke through the clouds and illuminated the entire Qiantun city.

Outside Qiantun City, a soldier on duty at the edge of the Daqing camp rubbed his tired eyes.

The faint morning sun swayed from the east to the soldier's eyes, and the soldier's eyes were staring at the wall of Qiantun City not far away for a moment, and then his eyes widened.

"General! Checkmate! Something happened! The soldier trotted toward the camp as if he had seen a ghost.
