Chapter 172: Heavy Rain (3/3)
It was night, and the White Polish army set up camp.
The night is deep, a lamp is like a bean, the pouring rain is desperately slamming the big tent, Liu Bianmei is a cold color, tossing and turning on the couch, difficult to sleep, whenever he closes his eyes, that scene of tragedy appears in front of his eyes, and the raging wind outside the tent is like the unwilling soul roaring.
Simply sink down, as soon as the mind moves, the consciousness enters the system space, the soldiers have been drenched in the heavy rain for a day, he has a red dragon suit on his body, naturally he is not afraid of cold and heat, but although the physical fitness of the soldiers of the Baibo Army has been strengthened, but after such a heavy rain, it is easy to catch the wind and cold.
The so-called wind chill in this era is somewhat similar to the cold of later generations, at most it is just a matter of an injection, and even boiled up and passed, but people in this era have no antibodies in later generations, and there is no penicillin or anything like that, so they are infected with wind chill and have a very high mortality rate.
Of course, although he has a system in hand and can exchange these things at any time, the key is that he has no money, right? Moreover, with the urine of the system, this kind of thing that surpasses the current world science and technology too much, I am afraid that it can only be purchased with military merit points, and it will inevitably die expensive.
So he plans to exchange it for ginger and send it down for the soldiers to make ginger tea to drink, ginger has a good effect on repelling the cold, and the price is cheap, so why not do it.
Open the exchange panel, the price of ginger is relatively cheap, but not the price of a catty, but the price of a penny, even so, the exchange of ginger is not small, and it is exactly the same, as the system said Tong Su is not deceitful.
Exited the system, returned to his body, got off, lifted the curtain, and the university outside had no intention of stopping, Liu Wei frowned slightly, how could it be such an abnormal rainstorm, once the rainstorm stopped, it would inevitably freeze all over the road, which was not good news for him.
Xu Huang's figure ran through a small tent on the side, and in just a few steps, he was drenched all over, Liu Wei handed the dry cloth to Xu Huang and said, "Gongming, it's just right that you came." This heavy rain is too unusual, what happened to the soldiers? ”
"Except for the soldiers who were on duty at night, everyone gathered in the tent to rest." Xu Huang said with some worry: "It's just that it will rain suddenly, it is difficult to find dry firewood everywhere, and more than half of the soldiers in the army can't make a fire to keep warm. ”
"Lone Zheng wants you to talk about this." Liu Wei nodded approvingly: "Ginger has the effect of warding off the cold, and Gu has prepared a large amount of ginger, you carry it to the stove room, and order the Huotou Army to boil it in a cauldron and distribute it to the soldiers to drink." ”
"No!" Xu Huang has been brainwashed since he was no longer surprised, His Royal Highness said that he was ready, then he would carry it according to the order, although he did not see any shadow of ginger.
"In addition, I saw a lot of pines and cypresses around in the daytime, and the sergeants cut them down more often, supplemented by dry firewood, which was naturally easy to ignite." Liu Wei stopped Xu Huang again, and instructed that the branches of the pine and cypress trees were extremely high in fat and extremely easy to burn, and although they were wet, they were still much easier to ignite than the rest of the firewood.
Of course, in fact, in this rainy day, the most suitable fuel is the birch tree, with the oil carried by the birch tree itself, no matter how wet it is, it can be easily ignited, but unfortunately, there is no trace of the birch tree around, so you can only retreat to the second best thing and use the pine tree.
"No!"
Xu Huang respectfully retired, and after a while, he brought someone to move the ginger, at this time Liu Wei had already taken the raw out of the system, and everyone moved the ginger to the barracks stove according to the order, and the Huotou Army was riveted to cook ginger soup.
In fact, the head of the army in this era also understands the principle of preventing wind and cold, and is often very experienced in this aspect, adding a lot of spicy things to the ginger soup as a topping, but it has the effect of driving away.
At the same time, under Xu Huang's instructions, the sergeants who had taken the fire test went out to cut firewood, and the sergeants who had not baked the fire finally got the opportunity to bake the fire, and around the vigorous bonfire, they took off their clothes and footcloths one by one to dry, and the smell of the camp was raised.
On the other hand, the Huns, who plundered and slaughtered a large number of Han people along the way, did not have the treatment of the Baibo army, and the steppe nomads, who originally lived in tents, naturally had far better experience in preventing natural disasters than the Han people.
It's a pity that the Huns of Yuluo went into battle lightly this time, and even the grain and grass were galloped all the way to plunder, and they didn't carry any baggage at all, and what was even more tragic was that in the severe winter, they encountered heavy rain from the sky, which was also unlucky enough.
The Huns, who did not understand how to use pine and cypress as fuel, leaned closely together in the camp one by one, warming each other, although there was no fire to keep warm, but the northern nomads were much stronger than the Han people because they ate meat all year round.
The chance of contracting a cold is much smaller, but knowing what it feels like to have a chattering tooth is still uncomfortable after all.
Yu Fuluo, who stayed in the big cowhide tent, his face was gloomy, he did not expect to encounter a rainy day, and the soldiers under his command were not infected with the wind and cold, but he was not very worried, what he was most worried about was that this heavy rain was enough to make the road muddy, which was extremely unfavorable to the cavalry march.
If the muddy road is icing, his 10,000 cavalry will be considered useless, and he will not be able to march at all, but it is only a few days away from the date he agreed with Dong Man, and if he can't come as promised, I am afraid that he will suffer Dong Man's wrath.
In fact, it's not that he can't bear Dong Man's anger, but he can't bear Dong Zhuo's anger, don't look at this Huns in this era often plundered the Han people, it was just because the court was weak and unable to levy, if it was replaced by a powerful prince like Dong Zhuo, the Huns who were now in decline would have been driven far away.
After all, even Qiang Hu didn't dare to plunder Dong Zhuo's edge, let alone the Huns, and more importantly, Ji Fu, who was extremely important to him, was still with Dong Man.
Yu Fu Luo has always been a very ambitious figure, dreaming of restoring the glory of the Mao Dun Shan Yu period, but the Huns are not good at the strategy and art of war of the Han people, and the war has always been a hard collision, I don't know how many Han people have suffered, and Ji Fu not only has the knowledge of the Han people, but also is loyal to the Great Huns, how can Yu Fu Luo be willing to pass away this staff.
At this time, no one of the Huns noticed that in the dark dense forest around the camp, several figures scattered away, and the original position where the figures were recessed was poured by heavy rain in a blink of an eye~
