Chapter 51: The Yin Man's Wife
Gong Qi didn't take Chang Yu seriously at all, in fact, he made a huge mistake. The reason why Yin people are called Yin people is because they are good at attacking behind the scenes.
Yongdu City, which was stationed with 200,000 people, suddenly became a huge barracks, and after the ****** of Duke Qi arrived, the entire Yongdu City moved. The soldiers began to prepare their equipment, which were already ready for dispatch at any time. Checking it is just a relief from the tension before the war.
"Lord Captain, don't we bring dry food?" An old soldier asked the captain suspiciously, according to the Great Qin military system, when he set out on the expedition, he had to carry three days' worth of grain with him. If the crossbowman had to bring sixty arrows by himself, these were dead rules, and the old man was very puzzled by the captain's obvious violation of the military system.
"Before setting off in the evening, we will give everyone a war meal, and the march may start before dawn. What are you doing with so much grain this time, aren't you too heavy? "This is an old lieutenant, and he knows that he has to rely on these old pawns when he fights. That's why I have the leisure to stand down and explain it to them. Anyway, the order to fight in the city has been issued to every tun. Now that the city gates are sealed, there is no question of secrecy at all.
The old pawn blinked his confused eyes, and after sending the captain away, he secretly hid two cakes in the armor. Not only did he do it, but so did the experienced soldiers. A few of them also made the recruits carry food bags on their backs, looking at the recruits who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. The mood of the veterans is particularly comfortable, and the army is like this, and you can bully the newcomers when you become an old fritter. They have all been bullied, and they have all been bullied. The old guy who is mixed up with the fine, the heart is brighter than the eyes.
The dazzling white sun was still hanging in the sky, and the smell of food was already wafting from the various barracks of the Qin army. For many, it will be the last meal of their lives. So, the meal was hearty. Large pieces of mutton, as well as pork that the powerful did not eat, were thrown into the pot and boiled to a pulp.
The food of the Qin army cannot be compared with that of the Pingliang army, and those guys can often eat beef. Because there are a large number of cattle in Pingliang, they are all exchanged for the grassland. These cattle have not been trained from an early age and cannot plow at all. Carnivorous and cart-pulling became their only use, after the mass popularization of horse-drawn carriages. There are fewer and fewer cattle pulling carts!
When the battle was approaching, Qi Gong personally inspected the food of several battalions. Very nice, big pot stew. The thick soup is poured on top of the wheat rice, a layer of meat is spread high, and a few pieces of radish are dotted with complete side dishes, and the aroma of meat arouses the cravings in the stomach. The man ate a big bowl, probably because of the gravy. The coarse wheat rice doesn't seem to be so coarse, and it doesn't shave like to eat it like it used to.
"Eat less! Melon cowardly baby! "A newcomer may not have eaten such a delicious meal for a long time, and he stood up to serve the fourth bowl but was kicked back by the team behind him.
"I don't let you eat enough food, and I don't eat your family!" Xinding was beaten but didn't dare to fight back, so he could only get a bowl of broth and squat at the base of the wall to "suck" and "suck". Peeking at the team not paying attention to him, he dared to mumble and complain.
"You baby melon wet! What the hell! The stomach is bulging when eating, how can you run. Don't drink it, drink a belly of water and run away, and you'll vomit in a while. The old man was a little irritated by muttering, and raised his hand and slapped the back of Xinding's head. The broth that hit the new dice is spilled all over!
The veterans in the army all know that they have to hurry tonight. The bibimbap is delicious, but you can't drink too much broth and don't dare to eat too much. Once you run, the water in your stomach is not to mention how uncomfortable it is. Sometimes, if you don't vomit in time, the soup will squirt out of your nose. That taste, keep it and want to die.
Therefore, the old soldiers are very modest, and it is enough to eat a bowl of wheat and rice. Eight points of fullness is the best, and some steal two large pieces of cooked meat in the room. The countrymen are hungry and afraid, and they always hide their food intentionally or unintentionally.
The pawn is the treasure of the army, and any officer of any kind will say so. They have killed people, they have seen blood. Not only is he rich in combat experience, but he also has various ways to deal with things in the army. In battle, these veterans are the most capable of fighting. Many times, they play the role of mainstay. Therefore, the old pawns are always at the back of the army formation. If the new Ding in front was frightened by the charging cavalry and retreated, he could only face the cold spear tip of the old pawn.
When the fiery red sun was about to set, the team had already finished cleaning up, and stood in a large area of black pressure on the school field. As far as the eye could see, there was a flash of blades everywhere. The aura of slaughter seems to be colder than the cold wind of winter.
Gong Qi looked at the flag, and his heart was abrupt. Because several generals have disappeared without a trace, does anyone dare to retreat from the battle?
The lieutenant of the middle army was very eye-catching, and when he saw that he was puzzled, he attached to his ears and said a few words.
"Bold! Transfer those battalions back to the old man! The eyebrows of the Duke of Qi were about to stand up, and he kicked over the handsome case. Drawing his sword, he was about to cut that bastard, and now he began to regret why he didn't cut this evil spirit earlier.
"General, you can't! Chang Yu has the order of the Queen Mother in his hand, and those soldiers are also resident in Yongdu, and they were originally under Chang Yu. The people who have been replaced by him up and down are naturally listening to him. The army is about to go on an expedition, if you tear him up at this time. Not only was the morale of the army hit, but it was too late. If you don't start now, I'm afraid you'll miss the hour. The lieutenant knelt down and hugged his thighs and didn't let go. The court now has a lot of complaints about the repeated defeats of the Duke of Qi, and if he offends the Queen Mother at this time, the consequences are unimaginable. After all, the king will only be in power next year. At this time, the queen mother was still a prisoner and qualified to control the Duke of Qi.
"Hey...... The villain misunderstands the country! Gong Qi waved his sword and slashed deeply into the handsome case that fell to the ground.
According to his calculations, Hengya took 50,000 people to attack more than 10,000 Donghu people. And half of them are young and old who are responsible for the baggage, and the certainty of success is still very large. As long as he relies on the advantage of his troops, he will lead a large army to meet the permanent teeth. If you fight and retreat, it shouldn't be a problem to return to Yongdu.
But I never expected that Chang Yu would come to this hand. And it was launched when he was about to set out on the expedition, which caught Lu Gong a little off guard. The 200,000-strong army was detained by Chang Yu and 60,000 people, and now only 140,000 people are on the march. The vanguard of the permanent tooth could not be weakened, and the corresponding corps was only 90,000 men. Facing the 300,000 Donghu army with strong mobility ability, Qi Gong's heart was a little bottomless.
