North of Ma'anshan, five miles away

The Qing army was stationed in the camp

At this time, the Qing troops who fled from the battlefield of Ma'anshan were like wounded beasts, and they returned here one after another to lick their wounds and recuperate.

At the moment, the day has become western.

Although the sky is still bright at this time, the sunset is inevitable, and dusk is quietly coming.

If the Qing army thought about attacking Ma'anshan again before it was dark, it didn't seem to be very rational. Not to mention whether they still have the courage to attack Ma'anshan again. Even if they had the courage to storm Ma'anshan again, if their strong attack still couldn't capture Ma'anshan this time, then they would have to march back here at night.

Marching at night is a taboo for the army.

Even though they were regular soldiers of the Manchu court, in addition to some Qing soldiers who could eat meat regularly, there were still many people who suffered from night blindness due to nutritional problems.

Night blindness is not the main reason, the main thing is that the army marches at night, and the soldiers' spirits are easy to cause tension.

In many cases, the loss of ten battles is not necessarily as great as the loss of one battalion.

Therefore, the first thing many generals have to consider when they arrive at night is the problem of camp roaring. For this reason, they had to set up a curfew to prevent the outbreak of the camp alarm.

The sun has set on the western hills, and the sunset is gradually revealing its unique beauty.

The ancients became clouds: The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk.

The arrival of dusk indicates that the day will enter darkness. Humans' fear of darkness is an instinctive reaction, just as human beings are afraid of death.

Therefore, dusk will give people a sense of sadness most of the time, especially when people are frustrated and frustrated, this feeling is even stronger.

At this moment, in the entire camp of the Qing army, the morale was low and lifeless everywhere.

In addition to those armor soldiers and cavalry who have not yet come into contact with the bandit army on the battlefield, the state is not bad, and the morale is the most depressed are those green battalion soldiers.

With the arrival of dusk, the Qing army's camp once again produced curling smoke.

No matter how lost you are, your stomach will never take care of your feelings. The hunger in the stomach is always a reminder that it's time to eat.

For the Qing army, who had two meals a day, if they missed this dinner, they could only endure the long night with hunger and patience, and only after the morning could they have food.

The so-called people are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic.

No matter how low your mood is, you still have to eat when it's time to eat.

Only those who have really suffered from hunger understand that in this era of insufficient oil and water, if you can't fill your stomach with the most basic staple food, then you will slowly stay up all night and your spirit will be damaged.

Moreover, even if you want to die, you have to eat enough to be a full ghost, right?

……

"Lord He, let's eat something first! The war is already like this, and there is no need to blame yourself. Moreover, only when you are full can you have the strength to come up with a way to defeat the thief. "Looking at Eji. He Mule in front of the table full of meat and steamed buns that have not been moved, love Xinjueluo. Yongqi couldn't help but persuade him.

"Fifth Elder Brother, thank you for your kindness, but I really don't have the appetite to eat now, and I really can't eat. After this day's fighting, our army has suffered such heavy losses. How do you tell me to have the face to face the grace of God? I am ashamed of the imperial court and the trust that General Zhennan placed in me. "Eji. He Mueller was accusing with a look of shame.

"Lord He, don't blame yourself too much, I was also there to watch the situation on this battlefield. You can't be blamed for the defeat of the war. It's not that our army doesn't work hard, it's that the thieves' firearms are too strong. "Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi comforted.

"Thank you for the understanding of the fifth elder brother, having said that, I am guilty of losing the war after all." Eji. He Mueller replied.

"Lord He, a momentary success or failure is not enough to determine a hero. As long as we can be ashamed and courageous, and work hard, we will be able to defeat the thief when the time comes. "Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi continued to comfort.

Listening to the advice of this fifteen-year-old prince, Eji. He Mule felt that his face was red, and he was embarrassed to continue "doing". At this moment, there was a hunger cry in his belly.

Eji. He Mueller did not continue, but with Aixin Jueluo. After chatting a few words, Yongqi reached out and picked up the food on the table in front of him and ate it.

The meat was chicken, and in addition to the steamed buns on the table at this time, the soldiers also brought a large bowl of egg noodles.

Eji, who was already hungry in his belly. He Mueller didn't have any pretentiousness, and between his hands and chewing, he quickly swept away the food on the table. Until Eji. He Mule drank the bowl of noodle soup in one gulp, and his face finally showed a satisfied expression.

For people who have plenty of oil and water now, they don't eat a meal or don't feel anything. But for a military general who marches and fights, not eating a meal does make people hungry and panic.

Eji. He Mueller thought about it, in fact, he loved Xinjueluo. Yongqi is right.

"Although our army suffered a heavy defeat, it was not without the strength to fight. Although there were many casualties, most of them were green battalion soldiers who were used as cannon fodder. As for cannon fodder, it's a big deal to go to the nearby villages and catch some civilians to use them. ”

Figured it out, Eji. He Mule's mood naturally relaxed, and the corners of his mouth even inadvertently flowed a slight smile.

At this time, this slight smile was actually Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi saw it. He thought that Eji. He Muller had thought of some good strategy against the enemy, otherwise he would not have laughed like this.

So, love Xin Jueluo. Yongqi went to Eji. He Mueller opened his mouth and asked: "I just saw the smile on the corner of Lord He's mouth, did you think of any good strategy against the enemy?" ”

"Ah, Fifth Elder Brother, what did you just say?" Coming back to his senses. He Mueller didn't seem to notice that he was smiling.

"I mean, I just saw Lord He with a smile on his face, I wonder if Lord He has thought of any good strategy against the enemy?" Ai Xin Jueluo. Yongqi repeated it again.

"Well, I really thought of a good idea when I was just eating." Eji. He Mueller replied.

But it's called Eji. When He Mule just wanted to say what he had just thought, he seemed to think of this method to love Xinjueluo. Yongqi seems to be a little inappropriate.

After all, I love Xinjueluo. Yongqi is also a prince no matter how he says, and it is a bit of a big disrespect to blatantly say in front of him that he wants to use civilians as cannon fodder.

When he hesitated, he suddenly saw the dishes and chopsticks on the desk. I saw a flash of light flash in his mind, as if he had thought of an absolutely good idea.
