Chapter 36: Nomadic Cavalry

The one who can't be the treasurer of the Lord is a wasted person, and from then on he is a wasted treasurer.

The shopkeeper Su is considered to be a waste, but Li Hang knows that this is already the limit of what he can do.

But before he could think about it, a little guy next to him ran in like crazy.

"Shopkeeper! Oh no! The northern county town has found scattered cavalry of the Iron Tartar tribe, and they are coming towards us! ”

The little guy's expression was extremely frightened, as if he had discovered something strange.

"The cavalry of the Iron Tartar tribe?" Li Hang frowned, is this person from the Iron Tartar tribe going to come here to plunder, how many people can resist?

"Yes, it is said that it is a group of people from the Iron Tartar tribe, there seems to be a rebellion within them, these people fled in panic, there is neither food nor water, and then they robbed several villages, all the way!"

Shopkeeper Su's face changed. "Gather everyone, we're going to organize a vigil!"

Li Hang frowned, vigil?

"Shopkeeper Su, what is this vigil?"

"It's to gather everyone, let ten men work in groups, prepare to patrol the neighborhood, and once we find that cavalry, we will all gather together, and then we can protect us!" Shopkeeper Su frowned and said, this cavalry is very deadly when he comes.

"If it's really food that they want, it's better if we design them to be a shot." Li Hang guarded worriedly, the impact of this cavalry could instantly collapse these ordinary people without any training.

"Li Xiucai, you don't understand the military formation, we have been like this all these years, and at this time, we just need to guard against it. This ......"

Li Hang sighed at this time. He hadn't actually been in contact with a battle formation, nor had he ever experienced a war, but he remembered one sentence, that is, cavalry against infantry on the plains was a massacre!

If it weren't for the hoplites, not the kind of guys armed to the teeth, the infantry would not be able to block the impact of the cavalry, even if there was a full compound armament, the weight of the cavalry would be more than five hundred catties, and the high-speed charge would be enough to knock people out of internal injuries.

If this kind of thing was put on weekdays, then Li Hang would definitely have a good chat with him, but now Li Hang really didn't dare to tell him about it.

If this cavalry really charges over, relying on these people to huddle together, it is looking for death, I am afraid that if someone charges, this group of people will be scattered, and it will be lucky not to trample on their own people when the time comes.

"How many days are they expected to be over?"

"I'm afraid it's not going to be here in three days at most!"

"Looks like I'm going to have to prepare. Can't count on them. Li Hang couldn't help but touch his chin when he heard the news.

It's a terrible time, or the North is a terrible one.

"Nomads? If they didn't bring anything to eat, then the first thing to do now was their horses! Li Hang said as he walked towards the vegetable market.

For hungry people, what they eat is the number one priority, and it is impossible to fight hard, so all that needs to be done now is to outwit.

As for how to outwit, you need to make your own food!

Donglin Port is a port, although it is not a production, but it is also a cargo distribution center.

The goods in this kind of distribution center are also very rich.

And this time, what Li Hang is looking for is food!

Give something that both horses and people can eat.

Black beans, red beans, barley, broad beans, soybeans, these things are all very rare, but if they are only supplied to a dozen people, I believe that dozens of catties are still possible.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Hang reached a deal with the bean sellers.

, two packs of soybeans, two packs of broad beans, and other beans totaling more than 100 catties.

After Li Hang bought these beans, he immediately asked a group of apprentices to go to the place he liked outside to do something.

Digging!

The tools are ready, and digging is relatively easy, just dig a pit that can fit a dozen people.

The depth is about four meters.

Li Hang also spent money and hired several people from Donglin Port to help dig together.

"Master? What's the use of this? ”

Climbing up from the pit, several boys looked at Li Hang with curiosity. "This is to lay the foundation for the house in the future, build it well, and we will buy this land from the Su family in the future! We're going to live here in the future! ”

Li Hang said as he stirred his head in a large basin with chopsticks.

The pea flour has been ground up, then mixed with water, made in a one-to-one ratio, and then boiled in this copper basin through water, stirring while cooking, stirring over low heat for a while.

Li Hangcai put the copper basin aside and covered it with a layer of cloth.

At this time, Hao Jun also came up. "Master, can you eat this?"

Obviously, this kind of good stuff that can be eaten definitely falls into the category of things that can be eaten.

"Yes! Prepare something delicious for the teacher, and you can try it too! When you're done, I'm going to treat you to this delicious meal! ”

I didn't know if this big pot was enough for them to eat, so Li Hang fried several more cakes, and then made the sauce for the seasoning.

After the green onions, ginger and garlic were stir-fried, they were put on a plate, and then a seasoning plate was made with vinegar and soy sauce seasoning, and Li Hang also threw a lot of shallots into it.

This plate of seasoning is ready.

After the pot had completely cooled down, Li Hang looked at the big pit.

In a day or so, a dozen people dug out a place more than ten meters square. At most, it is just to let a dozen people rest in it, and in this small space, Li Hang immediately directly asked Tian Carpenter to get some planks, and asked him to make a simple hut before tonight, and build a simple wooden horse shed on the side.

"Li Xiucai, this is the territory of the Su family, aren't you afraid of the Su family's trouble?"

"You just have to do it, yes! Remember to use bluestone and rice milk to stick it to me! ”

"Okay!" Carpenter Tian beckoned his apprentice to do something as he spoke, and he, a capitalist like Li Hang, sat on his face and looked greedily at the basin covered with a hundred cloths on the table at this time.

He heard about it, and Li Xiucai invited everyone to eat delicious food!

Li Hang looked at them helplessly, foodies!

"That's it! Hao Jun, come here and help! ”

At this time, a copper basin has to be turned upside down and fast, which is not something that can be done by one person, and there are no suitable props in their hands, it is still a little difficult to make real scraping powder, but for these people who have not seen real scraping powder, making a meal of cold skin is already a good thing that has never been eaten.

As soon as the white cloth was lifted, everyone stared at the white jelly-like thing in the basin and couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration. "Wow! It's so white! ”

"Look good!"

"Do you want to eat something so beautiful?"

It has a slightly transparent white color and looks like jelly, and you can feel it shaking when you touch it slightly.

This kind of thing is like a dish of gods who have never eaten it to these people in Donglin Port. Just looking at it, I feel like I'm in a good position.
