Chapter 672

On the first day of the new year, the military camp of the Li Army

It's lunch time again, and the soldiers line up to receive their meal.

Looking at the gruel, which had more water than rice, the soldiers complained.

"Forget about eating porridge normally, but today is the New Year! Don't talk about meat, don't you even have a dry meal?"

"Eating this pig food all day long is not as good as something, I have no strength in my hands and feet, what kind of battle are I fighting!"

"Didn't you say that the food was about to arrive? How many days have passed? Why is there still no food!"

"No, in the past, with the general, the court provided us with food and drink, although there were not as many military sounds as now, but we were full! When did we ever go hungry?"

"Now there is a lot of silver, but what's the use, how expensive is the rice and noodles here! Sometimes you can't buy food with silver, let's wait to starve to death!"

……

The soldiers drank white porridge like water, and you complained word by word.

During this time, their diet has changed from dry food to porridge! Now that there is no dry rice for the Chinese New Year, it is no wonder that the soldiers are complaining.

General Li originally wanted to come out to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers, but now listening to them whispering about the issue of food, he didn't dare to show his face, so he could only silently turn around and return to his big tent.

The food that was clearly calculated well has gone wrong one after another, and now the soldiers are about to run out of food.

Tens of thousands of mouths are waiting for food, and there is a lot of food every day......! In short, in a few days, there will be no gruel to eat.

A while ago, soldiers could be asked to disguise themselves as ordinary people to go to the grain stores in the city to buy a little, but now each grain store has to take a household sticker to buy according to the amount, and you can't buy too much.

General Li closed his eyes, the county lord of Rui'an is indeed the lucky star of the imperial court, his nemesis!

Since Min Zeguo had the Marquis of Shengping, their Li family has begun to have everything going wrong!

Now that the county lord of Rui'an has returned to his hometown to celebrate his birthday, the military rations of tens of thousands of his soldiers have all been lost!

This person can't be killed even if he kills him! General Li clenched his fists when he thought of this!

No, there is no food!

Can't wait any longer!

General Li just wanted to call someone in and prepare to send troops.

The imperial army across the river faintly heard bursts of cheers.

General Li walked out again, came to the river, looked at it from a distance, and saw the bonfires in the barracks opposite flickering, and on each bonfire there was a sheep on it, and many people had chickens and fish in their hands to roast. The smell of meat and wine came over for a while, and even he felt hungry when he smelled it.

Stimulated by the smell of these foods, many soldiers couldn't help but run to the river to take a look, so the soldiers complained even more.

They are also soldiers, and others eat and drink spicy food, but they have to starve and freeze! This differential treatment is too great!

General Li knew very well that if this went on for a long time, the army's heart would be unstable, so he withdrew his gaze from afar, walked back to the camp, and said apologetically in front of the soldiers: "Brothers! Our grain has been intercepted by the imperial court halfway, and we have made everyone hungry these days, especially on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and we can't let everyone have a full meal. ”

"It's not that the general doesn't want everyone to have enough to eat, it's just that the food that the general has prepared for everyone has been robbed by the people of the imperial court! Now the purchase of grain in the city is also restricted, and the general can't buy it even if he wants to. The people of the court have exterminated us! They have taken everyone's rations, and where they have eaten meat and drunk wine! It is simply disgusting!" a lieutenant general beside General Li added indignantly.

The soldiers were furious when they heard this!

I thought angrily in my heart, I was robbed, so I snatched it back!

The days of starvation and freezing are really gone.

Since the imperial court has exterminated them, then: "General, let's kill them!

"Yes, why did they rob us of our food and eat and drink spicy food there, so we can only drink porridge and water!"

"Yes, get it back!"

"Grab it back!" said the hungry soldiers, raising their spears in their hands.

The best thing is to go over now and grab the roast lamb, chicken, fish, wine, etc.

Under the stimulation of the sweetness of the food, it was simply a response, and the morale of the Li army was unprecedentedly high!

That's what starvation results in.

"Brothers, let's send troops in the middle of the night tonight! Grab everything that belongs to us, and if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!" General Li said the decision in his heart.

Now the morale of the soldiers is at an all-time high.

And the enemy army ......

When marching and fighting, the most taboo is to drink and have fun, which is the so-called drunkenness and misdeeds!

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is not appropriate to kill, it is estimated that the imperial army just thought that he had such a taboo, so he dared to be so presumptuous and openly provocative!

In that case, he will do the opposite, and when they are all drunk, he will send out his troops!

……

Di Shaowei stood on a high place and looked at Li Jun opposite, and he was emotional, and a sneer appeared in his heart.

Can't stand it? He's been waiting for a long time!

He asked people to take out two large jars of wine and secretly sprinkle them on the ground, making the smell of wine in the air stronger.

Then a large jar of broth from a large jar of wine was delivered to the soldiers.

Fortunately, the soldiers always drank with bowls, otherwise with wine glasses and broth, it was best to fight now and grab the roast sheep, chicken, fish, wine, etc. Many people couldn't help but laugh.

However, on this cold day, drinking hot broth with the smell of wine, eating barbecue and steamed buns, it is also a great joy in life!

Cheers, one shout louder than the other.

General Li listened to the faint cheers and cheers on the other side, his face darkened, he said some more words to appease the soldiers, and then took a few lieutenants into his big tent to discuss the dispatch of troops.

Before dawn, the world is the darkest.

A long wooden boat was placed on the surface of the river with a thin layer of ice, and in an instant there was a sound of ice breaking.

The wooden boat was very long, about two meters wide and more than thirty meters long, and it crossed the face of this small river directly.

One by one, the soldiers jumped onto the boat and ran to the other side.

When a large black cloud opened its mouth and was about to swallow them, the soldiers of the imperial army who were on vigil found that the enemy army had secretly smuggled over!

The horn sounded quickly.

"Hurry up, the enemy is attacking!

Hearing this, the imperial army quickly crawled out of their dreams, ran out, and gathered their formations, with that speed and movement, as if they were also preparing for battle in their sleep!

The fact is that they have been waiting for Li Jun to come over for a long time, and they are almost asleep!

And after the enemy crossed the river, behind them, there was also a large black cloud that was rapidly approaching!

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
