255 dumpling soup
Outside the encirclement of Huangfu Song, the front of the Red Turban Army's position. The arrival of winter has made the frozen ground somewhat difficult to excavate, but the Red Turban soldiers still dug some trenches out, and the opposite side is also the same, and the two sides have temporarily formed a standoff situation. But the combat units of the Red Turban Army were still very confused.
"The current situation is that we have formed a battle group with us as the center, and there are two battle groups of the same size nearby, and we are temporarily trapping each other in this way." A lieutenant colonel explained to brigade commander Ma Heng.
"How many of you are there?" Ma Heng asked.
"About eight hundred people, some of them are consumed these days. The defense on the opposite side is very strong, and they will also send cavalry to counterattack, and the brothers who rushed forward suffered many casualties. The lieutenant colonel said with a dusty face.
"Thankfully, we dug the trenches faster and built a stable defensive line, otherwise they, they would have run away. Sir. Lieutenant Colonel said.
"You're thankful. Strengthen your defenses, don't attack anymore. Waiting for the artillery to arrive here said. Ma Heng said. After inspecting the situation on the front line, Ma Heng knew that the war had entered the final stage, and it was also the most difficult stage. It's a big challenge, and how long this challenge will last, they don't know very well. But what they know is that if it continues, a lot of things will turn out to be the most favorable situation.
"Let the brethren rest more, eat something good, and restore their morale, haven't we captured a lot of supplies for the Northern Army?" Ma Heng said.
"Yes, sir." The lieutenant colonel nodded.
"Take it out and make a meal of meat to make the brethren happy." Ma Heng said.
"Yes, sir." The lieutenant colonel agreed to come down. Ma Heng continued to inspect the situation on the front line, and Ma Heng did not disrupt the deployment of the opponent's troops as he expected, on the contrary, their situation was still
Inside the command of Shang Wu. The staff officers were busy marking the latest situation on the sand table, so that their commanders could know what was happening at the front as soon as possible.
"Ma Heng's prediction is right." Jia Xu came in with a battle report and said to Shangwu.
"Our assault did not disrupt Huangfu Song's military deployment all at once, we only temporarily surrounded the other party. There is also a big mess on the side of the West Park New Army, and if we can solve the West Park New Army, our side will be able to ease up. Jia Xu said.
"Is Huangfu Song's military deployment and defensive state okay?" Shangwu asked.
"Well, for a while, it was difficult for our people to break through, the other side strengthened the defense, and also used captured muskets, and the cavalry troops of Cao Cao's department were also inside, but the number was not too much. There were only about three hundred people. Jia Xu said.
"How long does it take for the 2nd Infantry Brigade to get there, and this must be resolved as soon as possible." Shang Wu said.
"It will take at least two days and one night to arrive." Jia Xu said.
"No, we can't wait. We have to get there as soon as possible, and it's very bad for us to delay it for too long. Either way, it is necessary to reach the front line to solve such a thing. There are also artillery units that must reach the front line as soon as possible and prepare for a stormy battle. Shang Wu said resolutely. Jia Xu nodded. This is the last thing you want to see, and this battle is fought, and at least many people have died. Jia Xu can only accept that such a thing happens, after all, this war has reached its final stage.
Night. Shi. The Fourth Infantry Brigade only symbolically pursued the fleeing New Army of Xiyuan, which had broken out, and then all of them were blocked at the opening, after learning that the other party's opening was blocked. Lao Mu ordered to temporarily slow down the attack,
"Sir, why do you let us shout like this, we have been shouting for a long time, and I haven't seen anyone coming." Lao Jin said to Chen Da. Chen Da was Lao Jin's company commander, and his subordinates suddenly numbered, more than 200 people, most of them were soldiers of the Xiyuan New Army, and some even knew some of their comrades-in-arms. Chen Da's status as a new army in the West Garden made these prisoners of war more intimate, because they felt that Chen Da was his own person and would not cheat his own people.
"This, I can't say it, anyway, it's the story of the overlord of Chu, saying that it is the Marquis of Huaiyin, called, Han Xin's, that is the god of war. Fighting against the water, you know? Chen Da asked. The new army in Xiyuan shook their heads, they didn't know that Chen Da actually heard it from the officer training class. It is said that it is a training class, in fact, it is equivalent to a low-level officer training class, and there are no textbooks, it is equivalent to commenting on books, and their instructors are talking about a series of stories told by some martial artists, such as this embattled tactic of psychological propaganda, and the reason why the Red Turban Army was able to spontaneously enter a state is actually something they have done themselves. They heard such stories and participated in them, but in fact, it was not directly related to the fact that their commanders took the initiative to do so.
"If you look at you, you have to learn culture and knowledge, and I am like this, so I will learn knowledge and culture." Chen Da said.
"Sir, tell me a story." A lot of recruits asked. However, they all have combat experience, and when they hear stories to hear, they are naturally willing to listen.
"This is the overlord of Western Chu, where is he around. Anyway, at night, I will play the tune from Xichu's side. Chen Da is also a half-ass, he can't hear all the place names, and he can only listen to the story roughly, which makes the story much less audible. That's it, they are still acceptable, after all, they have not heard these stories.
"You think, the soldiers over there are just like us, they're homesick. I don't want to fight. And over there, like us, they don't want to fight either, why. There's no point in fighting. If the dead don't talk about it, they can't eat yet, and the officials have already run away. When the charge was made, the official was not the first, and if this continued, the dissatisfaction would definitely come out. Chen Da said.
"Sir, why don't we play a song too?" Old Kim seemed to be greatly inspired and asked.
"Go, go. You're going to blow it, I'm not going to. Besides. The place from the other side is different, blowing the song, do you understand over there? No way. Chen Da shook his head and said.
"If only there was something to eat." One soldier said.
"Goo." Some of the soldiers' stomachs were already growling.
"Dumpling soup, dumpling noodle soup is here." A man brought two buckets of dumpling noodle soup to the table, and it was steaming, and it looked delicious.
"Boom." Many of the soldiers swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Take your time, come one by one, have all, have all, and add more if you don't have enough. The tube is full. The old man said.
"Sir, what kind of meal is this? I eat it, and I just eat it. One soldier bit several dumplings in one go, and the dumplings were still filled with mutton. It tastes very good.
"This is dumpling noodle soup. There was less filling in the dumplings, and there were some noodles, so I made the noodles. This soup came from the rear, saying that it could ward off the cold. Everyone ate a good meal and killed the enemy. The old man said.
"Hmm. This dumpling soup is delicious, delicious and delicious. One soldier finished a bowl in a few breaths, and then took the big bowl to line up, and the other soldiers also quickly finished eating and went to line up to eat. It was the best meal they ever ate. It's better than eating big fish and meat on the side of the New Army in the West Garden.
"Hey. Sir. Lao Jin came over with a big bowl of dumpling noodle soup and said.
"What's wrong. I'm not done there. We have fewer travelers, but we still have enough food. There's no need to grab it, if you kid can eat it, go over there and eat several buckets. Chen Da said. The officials and soldiers eat on their side, because the food is not enough at all, but not on the Red Turban Army's side, as long as it is at the beginning of the meal, it must be enough, and if there is a big war, they will give a good meal. In terms of the amount of food, as long as you can eat until you are full, this is much more reasonable than the new army in the West Garden. Therefore, Chen Da has not gone to rob it. But they don't know about these newcomers, so they sometimes go back to grab them, and their habits still change for a while.
"No, sir, I mean, this noodle soup is so delicious, we might as well let them know out loudly, and then we can attract them too." This should be the same as that of the overlord. Lao Jin thought about it and said.
"Okay." Chen Da pondered carefully, if this is really the case, as long as he shouts, he can't come over there. That's a good thing, the best thing ever.
"Okay. Just do it, your kid's head, it looks very useful, I think, after the end of this war, you also went to the officer training class to study, you don't use your brain, it's a pity. Chen Da said.
"Sir Xie, Sir Xie." Lao Jin knew that his good opportunity had come.
Then, the Red Turbans began to shout loudly.
"Delicious dumpling noodle soup, lamb filling. This dumpling soup is very delicious. Hot, drank. It won't be cold this winter. Old Jin shouted loudly. And the steaming dumpling soup began to be served out over there. The steaming dumpling soup suddenly attracted the new army in the West Garden.
"Knock, knock." Many soldiers gulped gulps. Dumpling soup seems to be very ordinary, but it is such an ordinary bowl of dumpling soup that attracts their stomachs, and many soldiers of the New Army in Xiyuan are not calm. Taking advantage of the night, they crept over quietly, there was no way, there was already no food over there. I can't even drink gruel. It's still good here, there is dumpling soup, and mutton to eat, and it tastes chaotic.
"Earth dog, why are you crying?" Lao Jin asked.
"Well, it's delicious." The earth dog began to gulp again.
