Chapter 155: A Million People Dinner
The army from the north, this can not help but attract the attention of Jin Wushu, the nest of Jin Guo is in the north, although he understands that Jin Guo has no soldiers to send at this time, Jin Wushu is still full of hope that it is to support his reinforcements, but what disappoints him is that it is just a group of ragged herdsmen.
After roughly determining that this was Genghis Khan's men and horses, I took a few people to ride to meet their arrival, I stood on a high place, and at a glance I saw Genghis Khan's Daxu, a general was directing the army to advance slowly, in this unfamiliar place, everything had to be careful, Tanma had told him that there was a large number of troops in front of him, and he had to distinguish between friend and foe first.
I shouted on the hillside: "Old wood! ”
Mu Huali looked up and saw that it was me, and he was immediately relieved, rode up the hill alone, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqiang, we Mongolians didn't miss the appointment, right?" ”
I smiled and said, "Not only did we not miss the appointment, but we came a few days early, didn't we say that we would send troops in 6 days?" ”
Mu Huali said: "The Great Khan was afraid of missing something good, so he let us set off early." ”
I suddenly thought of a question, and said with a worried face: "Did you only bring three days' rations?" ”
Mu Huali nodded and said, "Yes, you can eat it for 6 days if you save some points." ”
I hurriedly said: "Don't grieve the soldiers, I'll find a way to get food." ”
Mu Huali looked at the Jin military camp tent and said with a smile: "No need, our enemies will find a way for us." ”
I laughed and said, "Don't go to the camp without permission, our purpose is not to destroy them." "The Mongols were the best at feeding the field army in history, and it seemed to them as natural to plunder the enemy's supplies as it was to take what was stored in their own warehouse.
Mu Huali said: "Since you say so. I only have to take orders. The Great Khan asked me to listen to you alone before I set out. ”
I looked around and saw only a mere 300,000 (big breath?). The Mongols trampled the entire northern sky with smoke and dust, and there were no people in sight for a hundred miles, and if there were 250,000 people in Liangshan, it was far from being so majestic. As I looked closely, I gradually discovered the mystery: every Mongol was accompanied by at least a few empty horses without riders, and it was no wonder that 300,000 people carried more than 1 million horses.
I laughed and said, "My brother knows I'm going to bluff and take so many empty horses." ”
Mu Huali said: "It's not like this, we Mongols fight, and each warrior has more than one horse, and there are more than six or seven horses. There are also three horses less. In this way, we could have enough horsepower, and we would eat and sleep on our horses during long runs, and when we charged, we would change to the fastest horses, and once we attacked, there would be no obstacle in the world that could stop them from advancing, not even if it was impregnable, except for the orders of the Great Khan. ”
I looked at the warriors, who were not armed with quaint scimitars and spears, and this would have been a herd of wranglers, with very little iron armor among them. The most is thick leather armor, with thick needles and large threads sewn on the body, and some simply wear a few hemp ropes on both sides of the shoulders to hang a large piece of cowhide on their chests, and the big bow and long arrows are casually carried on their backs, and their faces are endlessly frosted and smiling. Half the world has been conquered by such a group of people...
Mu Huali said: "If you have any tasks, just say it." ”
I said, "You're just in time." You let our locals spread out the camp and go all the way to the Tang Army. In a few days, the people will be gathered, and we will surround Ya's golden vultures. ”
Mu Huali said: "It won't cause a misunderstanding, right?" We saw several groups of horses on the road, but because we didn't know whether they were friends or foes, we didn't do anything. ”
It is normal for any army to be vigilant when it sees an armed force approaching it, and the Tang army does not know where the Mongolian soldiers are coming, so Mu Huali is right to worry, I took out the phone and said, "I'll call Qin Qiong." ”
Telling Qin Qiong to prepare to work on the border with the Mongolian army, Mu Huali looked at the phone in my hand and said in surprise: "Is there a devil in this small box?" "Well, this is an upgraded second fool.
I took out a phone and handed it to him and said, "You can take one too, and when you have time, I will teach you to go out, now you just need to answer it, just press this..."
Who knew that Mu Huali put his hands behind his back like a ghost, and said in horror: "I don't want it, this thing will suck away the soul of the earth." "It seems that the Mongolians have a simple side, but also a superstitious side, I said for a long time Mu Huali just refused to answer, I helplessly looked back, just Yucai version of Hua Rong behind me, I said: "Hua Rong, then you stay in charge of answering the phone." ”
Hua Rong smiled and said, "Okay, it's just right to learn archery skills with the Mongolian brothers." ”
Xiuxiu rode on a docile little mare and raised her hand and said, "I'll go too." ”
I said with a straight face: "What are you going to do, there is not much food and grass in the first place." ”
Xiuxiu took out a shoebox and so many snacks from a palm-sized bag and nibbled on it, "I don't want to eat your dry food." "I don't know how she got in.
After settling down the Mongol army, we have completed the encirclement of the Golden Vulture on three sides, due east, due north and due west are occupied by Liangshan, Mongolia, and the Tang Dynasty, and the junction of the northeast and northwest is connected into a camp, and we can pass through the Mongolian army when we go to the Tang army camp again this time.
The depressed Jin Wushu never thought that the new army was also his enemy, and it was not until dusk that he received a war letter written by Xiuxiu in all simplified Chinese and English.
At dinner, I inspected the Tang army troops through the Mongolian battalion, although they were led by Qin Qiong, but Li Shimin's appointment letter I was the commander, this is a huge professional army, orders and prohibitions, strict military discipline, under the leadership of Qin Qiong and others, who are extremely familiar with their operating instructions, glow with vigorous murderous atmosphere.
Accompanying the review were Qin Shubao, deputy commander of the group army, Cheng Yanjin and Luo Cheng, and others.
I rode on my horse, chatted with a few soldiers for a while, looked at the sky, and the logistics minister of the Tang Army, who followed the line, said: "Don't think about breakfast first, what will you eat tonight?" ”
The logistics minister bowed: "Flatbread pickles." ”
I nodded and said, "Well, pay attention to replenishing the soldiers with fresh vegetables and water..."
As he was talking, he suddenly saw smoke rising from the north, followed by bursts of meat fragrance, Cheng Yanjin looked straight on the horse's back, and muttered: "The Mongolians have opened a meal, why is the food so good, it's all roast mutton." ”
I saw that many soldiers of the Tang Army were swallowing saliva, turned their horses and walked to the Mongolian camp, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't eat fresh vegetables, I'll change the meat for you." ”
When I went to the Mongolian camp, 300,000 people were roasting mutton to eat, the scene was spectacular, I found Mu Huali and said, "You all eat this, isn't it greasy?" ”
Mu Huali said: "What can we do, we don't grow food, we can only eat meat and cheese." ”
I pointed to the Tang army camp in the west and said, "Can I get grain for them and exchange some meat with you?" ”
Mu Huali said with a smile: "They are all friends, what else do you want to change, just ask them to come and eat." ”
At this time, the Liangshan Front Army also had a meal, and I saw the big bandits commanding the small bandits to move out of the three bowls of the big altar and the small altar, and they shouted to drink freely, and the Mongols were shocked at first sight: "Can you still drink when you are fighting?" ”
Hua Rong smiled: "My brothers, you can only be more brave when you drink." ”
Mu Huali swallowed his saliva and said: "Why aren't we Mongolians like this-Xiaoqiang, can I discuss something with you, how about we exchange meat for wine with them?" ”
I laughed: "It's all friends, what to change, tell your people to drink." ”
In this way, the first contact between the three armies was completed in the meal, and in the case of leaving enough guards, the soldiers of the three armies began to string each other's camps, at first, they were a little embarrassed, the Tang army held the bread, the Mongolian soldiers carried the whole sheep on their shoulders, the bandits held the wine jar one by one, and after a moment of stunned, the picnic began, although these people spoke with various accents and had different living habits, but they were all bold people, and they came for the same purpose, and the word comrade-in-arms was originally the easiest to eliminate the estrangement.
It didn't take much effort, countless bonfires were lit in the three camps, the soldiers ate bread, mutton, drank soju, laughter and laughter boiled into the sky, and the banquet was accompanied by singing, dancing, wrestling, equestrian performances and other programs, this was a dinner of more than 1 million people, absolutely a historical precedent, the fire burned from near to the direction beyond the eye, straight like the sky fire poured down...
It is conceivable that the gathering of more than 1 million people is quite disturbing to the people, but those who are in the midst of happiness cannot think of this at all -- because they are in the limelight, the camp of the Jin army is completely covered by the smoke of our cooking, and the bursts of fragrance and laughter are heard, and the faces of the soldiers of the Jin army are dazed, as if they are stupid, and they can't help but tiptoe around with the dry and hard marching food in their hands.
This night, many high-ranking generals of the Jin Army stayed up all night, and I didn't know that Jin Wushu was not among them, but I slept well anyway - Haser and I drank more than 5 catties and three bowls but couldn't get on duty. In the dream, I dreamed that Baozi called me as usual and asked me who I was fooling around with so late, and she said angrily, "What are you doing, and you don't let people sleep?" ”
I said in a daze: "Lao Tzu is not here to save you? ”
Baozi said viciously: "You give the old lady to be careful, don't rescue us and put yourself in, the golden vulture is discussing a sneak attack on you!" ”
I suddenly opened my eyes and found the phone in my hand, and I found... It turned out that it was not a dream.
