Chapter 88: Him Up
In these years, those who led troops to fight outside prepared a few days' rations at once.
Unless it is sent out on a mission, it will take a few days.
One of the most important reasons is that food can't be stored for that long, especially in this summer, and it is even more difficult to store food.
Most people's rice is boiled or steamed.
Corn, not the kind you think.
Cooking is actually a manual work, first of all, the husked corn is peeled off, this step is called the rice, which is a kind of punishment for female prisoners who violate the law in the Qin Dynasty, which is extremely tiring.
If the conditions are better, add two pieces of bacon to you, and if the conditions are not good, sprinkle some salt in a pot and eat!
At this point, Wang Bu was very prescient, as early as when he was in Mi County, he distributed their respective rations to each person, and found a way to remove the shell by himself.
After finishing the work, each tun set up a pot by himself, and directly fried the husked corn with salt.
The taste is very average, and I feel a little choked after eating too much, but it greatly saves time for cooking.
So......
The drums of war were beating more and more frequently.
The soldiers began to line up in a hurry, waiting for the final order to attack.
At the same time, the front rows of soldiers stood straight and straight, their eyes blazing, as if they could kill.
The back row hurriedly took out the fried corn from the bag and filled it in his mouth, the fried corn was a little hard, and the bite was okay, but it was too small, and the tooth was wasted.
Therefore, most people fill their mouths and chew them indiscriminately, and send them directly to their stomachs with a sip of water.
Those in the back row are well fed and drunk, stand in the front row, and cover the people in front to eat.
Sima Xin only vaguely saw that the opponent's formation was constantly adjusting, but he couldn't see that the people behind him were eating.
On his side, he could only hurriedly pull back the lunch that was about to be sent to the various formations.
Once the war suddenly begins, these meals will affect the battle.
Although, they are sleepy and hungry......
Seeing that Wang Buxing's trick really worked, Yang Ye held his chin and frowned deeply.
Why didn't you think of it?
If I had left them hungry two days earlier, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have a chance to line up now, right?
For an entire afternoon, this maddening behavior continued to happen.
Whenever Sima Xin's army wanted to have a meal, Wang Buxing's side would definitely beat the war drums to prepare for the attack.
Even though Sima Xin knew that Wang Bu was not hungry and was interfering with them, he still had to be on guard, what if they suddenly rushed over at this time?
When it was time to Shen, the soldiers who were really hungry and couldn't do it proposed that they could go to eat in batches, and Sima Xin realized that he hurriedly ordered each formation to go to 2,000 people to eat at a time, which could be regarded as barely letting the soldiers who had been hungry all day have a cold meal.
Of course, it's all this time, and no one cares about whether it's hot or cold.
Because the food at noon is also cold, how can I stop and bury the pot to cook during the march of the army?
Generally speaking, there are two meals a day when there are no tasks.
When it is necessary to march and fight, it will be changed to three meals a day.
In the morning, two meals are made directly, generally in the morning, dry at noon with cold water, and in the evening, wait until after the camp is set up to bury the pot to make rice, and at the same time prepare the food needed for tomorrow.
Yang Ye was a little relieved here, after all, he had been playing the empty city plan for the past two days, but now it was different.
The 35,000-strong army had already appeared more than once in the afternoon, and Sima Xin knew very well that there were people on their side.
So, the night was still not peaceful.
The movements are still those movements, but Sima Xin slept even more unsteadily this night.
The sound of horses galloping outside the camp, the sound of the earth trembling, the slogans shouted by the soldiers, and the war drums sounding from time to time.
Sima Xin felt that his whole body was about to go crazy.
It was three o'clock in the morning, half past four in the morning.
The marquis were ordered to come to the place where the king was not hungry to receive the task.
Compared with the other side, they had a good night this night, except that the drums around them kept sounding, which affected their sleep a little.
But it's not a big problem, they all learned the news in advance, the drum is not an order, the shouting is an order.
Therefore, everyone should sleep, what should be done, and the physical and mental recovery is good.
And before the military marquis set off, they also woke up the troops and took advantage of the darkness to touch the rations from their bodies to fill their stomachs.
"It's time for it to end!" Seeing that everyone was coming, Wang Bu was not hungry and spoke directly.
He really didn't sleep well that night, and he was always thinking of some feasible countermeasures.
In the past, it was just to rush over with a head iron, and just kill indiscriminately.
He wasn't worried about melee combat, he was most worried about the loss of his own side in the middle distance.
And the field battle is not a siege war, the two sides did not say that Ming Jin collected troops, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, it is possible that you just gave the order to retreat, and the other party directly pounced.
If you don't want to kill in a wave, you won't be able to defeat the army, but such a sudden attack can indeed bring huge losses to the other side, as well as turmoil in the morale of the army.
Therefore, the field battle is pure and pure, and both sides are fighting in the field from the beginning to the end.
Wang Buxing pointed to the wall of fire in the distance, Sima Xin continued the old way, at least this would prevent them from being approached by the enemy and not reacting.
"See there, right? Organize your troops immediately, take advantage of the night, the guerrillas will lead the way for you, quietly touch the vicinity of there, and then lie on the ground and wait, when the war drums sound, rush over as fast as possible, and try to close the enemy as much as possible, and don't let their bows and arrows play a role! Wang Bu was hungry and ordered directly.
Here's what he came up with.
The guerrillas will have little impact on their night operations and can lead the way for the large army to the position where the battle was initiated.
"As soon as the sky was light, before the other side had time to eat, our side suddenly launched an attack, people were sleepy and tired, and their stomachs were still hungry and growling, and there must be panic on the opposite side at this time! Childe, this is completely doable! The military marquis Ren Fang looked at Wang Bu with an aftertaste, and his face couldn't hide the excitement.
"Hmm!" Wang Buxing responded very calmly, and then said: "Ren Fang, your department is the vanguard, Liu Qu, your department is the left rear army, Wang Shui, your department is the right rear army, your task is only one, to penetrate their formation as quickly as possible!" ”
"No!" The three military marquis received their orders one after another.
"Don't wear clothes, send a thousand personal soldiers, scatter around with new soldiers, and collect the opponent's rout!" The king was not hungry and continued to command.
"No!"
"Yang Ye! Take your guerrillas and wander around, and if there is a rout, send people to help! "Wang Buxing also arranged bodyguards for the recruits, who let them have no weapons in their hands.
"No!"
"Go ahead! In half an hour it will be almost dawn, and the battle will begin at that time! ”
