On the other side of the mountain, there was a faint roar of explosions.

Eji. He Mueller knew that these were the two battlefields of Qianshan and Xushan, and the battle was also started.

What is the specific situation of the battle between Qianshan and Xushan, Eji. Homuller didn't know. However, although he had the largest number of troops on his side, he did not achieve the slightest success, and they were even forced to retreat to rest by the artillery of the anti-thieves.

Eji. He Mueller's mood at the moment can only be imagined.

……

It's noon

The sun hung high in the sky.

The heat is unbearable, and even the sweat of wearing thin clothes makes you sweat, let alone those in armor and helmets standing in the sun.

If you can, Eji. He Mueller also hopes to have a life-and-death duel with the bandit army on a rainy day.

In this way, at least everyone is hand-to-hand combat, showing the true colors of men in the sword light and sword shadow.

Unlike now, the thieves fought with the advantage of their firearms. This bullying is not to mention, it is clearly a victory, and it really does not have the spirit of a heroic warrior.

However, whether it rains or not is the will of God.

How can providence be swayed by people's will?

It stands to reason that June should have been rainy, but Eji. Homul has not seen a few rains since heading south.

What's even more infuriating is that Eji. Most of the times when it rained were when he was in the city. As for the battle with the bandit army, he was stunned that he had never encountered it.

When it will rain on this day, no one can say. Even if Qin Tianjian's people were here, he didn't dare to say when it would rain.

So, don't you dare to start a war with the thieves without rain?

If he dares to say this, his cavalry battalion will come to an end.

Moreover, even if the Eji. He Mueller hoped so, but this huge army ate horses and horses every day, and the cost of food and wages for soldiers and horses was huge, and the court could not let it go forever.

Therefore, no matter how powerful the firearms of the anti-thieves are, the Qing army can only attack them, which is nothing more than the death of some more green battalions.

Anyway, in Eji. In the hearts of He Mueller and others, these green battalion soldiers are not worth a few dollars more than those untouchables.

High up in the hills

In the camp of the Qing army, Eji. At this moment, He Mueller is discussing with the generals about the strategy of attacking the mountain.

At this time, I saw Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi entered the tent and faced Eji. He Mueller said: "Lord He, it's almost noon. Everyone hasn't eaten yet, so why don't you let everyone bury the pot and cook first, and then start a war with the thieves when they're full? ”

If someone else dares to come and say this to him, Eji. He Mueller must have scolded him for being a "rice bucket".

But seeing that the person who came was Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi,Eji. No matter how angry He Mule is, he has to think carefully about Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi, the weight of this fifth elder brother.

There have long been rumors in the imperial court that Qianlong's love for this fifth elder brother is not a matter of all.

Although since the Yongzheng Dynasty, he has not established a prince in Ming. But if nothing else, this fifth elder brother may be the future crown prince, or even the emperor.

"Fifth elder brother, this..."Since there was no specific result, Eji. How could he be in the mood to talk about eating? Even if it's Aixin Jueluo, who is the fifth elder brother. Yongqi came over and asked, Eji. He Mueller still couldn't help but want to brush his meaning.

Moreover, if you want to eat yourself, it is good that no one will dare to say anything about you. You came and asked me to order the army to bury the pot and cook, isn't it too much to find trouble?

"Lord He, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it!" At this moment, Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi looked at the loose green camp outside the camp door, and then looked at Eji. He Mueller said earnestly.

Eji. He Mule followed Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi looked in the direction of his gaze, and suddenly understood what his intention was when he said this.

In order to rush the journey, the army did not eat since early in the morning. And after the army arrived at the Ma'anshan battlefield, they thought that they could use artillery to thwart the fierce spirit of the bandit army. He Mueller directly ordered an attack on Ma'anshan.

But he didn't think about it, and the spirit of thwarting the bandit army was not frustrated, but the morale of his army was lowered a lot.

Coming all the way, for their cavalry, they may not feel particularly tired, but for those who come on two feet, they are very tired.

Now the army has been defeated, and everyone is hungry and tired. If the Eji. He Mueller did not let the army rest and fill his stomach, and continued to order a strong attack on Ma'anshan, which would cause the army to mutiny.

As the saying goes, even if you want someone to die, you have to make a person a full ghost. If we continue to give such a reckless order to forcibly attack the mountain, and then cause the army to mutiny, and then the mutinous army will throw itself on the side of the rebels on the opposite side, it will be too much to gain and lose.

"These five elder brothers are really smart. No wonder the Holy One liked him so much. "Eji. He Mule secretly approved in his heart.

"Since the fifth elder brother has said so. Then you go and pass on my order, and let everyone bury the pot and cook. Once you've eaten enough and nourished your spirits, let's fight to the death against the thieves. "Eji. He Mule nodded to Aixinjue Luo Yongqi for a while, and then said to the guards beside him.

"Hey, the minion obeys." After the guards finished speaking, they turned and withdrew from the tent.

Soon, smoke rose from the Qing army's position.

Unlike the bandit army, which had independent cooking soldiers, the Qing army did not have independent soldiers to help cook unless it was a regular army. For example, in some areas, the flood soldiers who were called up and the green battalion were recruited, and they could only rely on each other's partners. But there was no one to help with the cooking.

As for their meals, they are generally given a ration of staple foods such as rice, flour, soybeans and a small amount of salt at one time according to the number of days.

As for the dishes, there are only a few pickles occasionally. As for the meat, don't think about it, unless it's in the case of rewarding the three armies, you basically can't see meat.

After the commander ordered that the pot could be buried to make food, the hungry people could go to the logistics office to ask for some firewood, and then find some stones to build or dig an earthen stove for cooking in a pot.

It is also inconvenient to cook, so most of them cook a day's worth of meals or even two days at a time.

When the meal is not finished, add some salt, knead it into a rice ball, and wait until the next meal to eat.

Of course, you can eat it directly, or you can boil it in hot water and soak it before eating.

Although it is colder to eat directly, it is more convenient. It will be a little more troublesome to boil hot water and eat it, but the taste is relatively better. After all, this is hot porridge.

As for whether it's good or not, don't care about it.

The daily food is just a little bit, and it is still served regularly and quantitatively. There are no wasted conditions for you at all, and there is no chance for you to choose.

The only choice you have is to go to war with enough food or go hungry.
