Fragrant steamed buns, bread, and broth were delivered and distributed to these soldiers who had long been hungry and bone-ty, and the soldiers in front had not yet received it, but they saw that the food had been distributed not far away, and it would soon be their turn, and they couldn't help but drool and look at it.

The aroma of food wafted over the entire military formation, and even though the wind was strong today, soldiers who had not yet received anything could smell this fragrance that had never been smelled before.

While directing his men to carry a box full of steamed buns and bread to distribute food, the chief cook shouted loudly, "Brothers, listen well, each of you two large meat buns and two steamed buns in a small rattan basket, and a clay bowl full of broth, this is your ration for this meal, these foods may not be enough for most of the hungry brothers, but brothers do not worry, in three hours it will be noon, and then there will be another meal, Brothers after eating should pay attention to the small rattan basket and pottery bowl clean and keep it yourself, this is your future tableware, if lost or damaged within half a year, you are responsible for paying for the military salary to buy, the money will be deducted from your military salary, half a year later, the army will be uniformly dressed, the army does not need to pay for the army, the tableware can not be used by others, can only be used by yourself, people are mixed, the use of other people's tableware is easy to transmit diseases, clothes can not be worn by others, can only be worn by themselves, I hope the brothers remember! ”

The soldier who received the food immediately devoured the steamed buns, and shouted as he gnawed: "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious!" ”

Two large meat buns and two large steamed buns are enough to feed a normal soldier. But it was too little for these more than 9,000 hungry soldiers, and they had never eaten steamed buns and bread so fluffy, and the taste and texture were so good. There is not enough food at all, and many people can't help but want to eat some more after they finish eating, and the people who carry the load full of food to distribute the food go over, but unfortunately there are law enforcement soldiers patrolling everywhere around, and if they go up to grab food, the end will definitely be miserable. Even if I wanted to eat it again, I could only endure it, and after eating so much just now, I drank a big bowl of broth. Although my stomach was not full, my body was much warmer, and I had the strength, thinking that in three hours I would have another meal to eat. I felt a little more at ease. Let's boil it again, and you can eat it in three hours, and everyone calmed down with this thought, and many soldiers squatted on the ground and scrubbed the snow on the ground to scrub the small rattan baskets and clay bowls, which were their cutlery for the next six months.

Even if Enek had already retreated twenty miles back with the army and set up camp, Qin Dong still didn't dare to cross the river with his soldiers, the distance of twenty miles was too close, for the cavalry. In this kind of weather, it would only take half an hour at most, and it would take him at least three hours for all his 9,000 men and horses to cross the river. What if Enek came with a large army to kill while crossing the river? Therefore, Qin Dong could only let Moduo, the nine thousand men and horses, stay in place and spend it with Enek like this, to see who can consume whom!

Enéke Camp.

"Your Highness, that Qin Dong and Mo Duo with nine thousand remnants of the defeated general have never moved in place, and they have no intention of crossing the river, nor have they attacked us!" The scout reported to Enek.

"Oh, there's such a thing?" After speaking, Enek looked at the military advisor sitting beside him: "Lord Agul, what do you think?" What exactly does Qin Dong want to do? Could it be that he still wants to encroach on the king's land? ”

It turned out that the name of this staff soldier was Agul, this man was in his forties, thin and weak, with a long sparse beard on his lips and chin, and a treacherous appearance, but his eyes always shone with wisdom.

Agul stretched out his hand and twisted the sparse beard on his chin, thought for a moment and said: "Your Highness, in my opinion, Qin Dong does not dare to evacuate rashly, Your Highness thinks about it, our army's camp is only more than 20 miles away from the river, and our army only needs a short time to kill it, while it takes at least three hours for all of Modo's men and horses to withdraw to the other side of the river, if we suddenly kill them when they evacuate, all their men and horses who have not crossed the river will be annihilated!" ”

Enek was nibbling on a leg of mutton, nodded after listening to Agul, and said, "Is it possible that we both will be consumed like this?" Qin Dong's kid is ruthless enough, he didn't bother with him this time, and he didn't attack him, but he stayed where he was with his men and horses and didn't retreat, this is his own cowardice, no wonder me, he wants to consume it like this, everyone will consume it together, see who can consume whom! ”

Agul took a sip of mare's milk wine from the wine bowl and reminded: "Your Highness, we are in a hurry, each soldier does not carry much rations and livestock, we can only support three days at most and must be evacuated, otherwise we will run out of food!" ”

Enek's brows furrowed when he heard this: "What can I do about this?" It can't be that Qin Dong is still staying in the land of this king, but this king can only evacuate first, right? It's a shame to say it! No matter what, this king must watch Qin Dong and his men retreat to the south bank before this king can return with a large army! ”

The officials and generals in the big tent couldn't help but nod when they heard Enek's words, this is reasonable, not to mention that they are not afraid of Qin Dong, even if they can't beat Qin Dong, they can't watch Qin Dong stationed here with a large army and treat it as if they didn't see it, as the saying goes, the loser does not lose the battle, and the other party must not be weakened in momentum, otherwise the other party will gain an inch, not to mention that the two sides have not fought yet, and I don't know who loses and who wins!

The light in Agul's eyes flickered a few times, he stood up and walked back and forth a few times, his face suddenly became gloomy, and then he said: "I understand the real reason why Qin Dong has kept the army in place and not left, he is worried that we will suddenly attack when he evacuates, this is only one reason, there is another reason, that is, there is no army of his army at all in the small town of Vidin across the river, and the many flags there before were just an illusion he deliberately made, the purpose was to confuse us, And we fell for him! ”

With a "huh", Enek suddenly stood up and shouted, "What? Qin Dong, this kid is playing with us? Okay, I understand, the 9,000 cavalry on this side of the river is simply an empty shell, without much combat effectiveness, in order to keep these 9,000 people, so he did so many things, the purpose is to make us dare not attack, these horses are all veterans, if these people are allowed to recuperate, restore their combat effectiveness, and then add some men and horses, it is a strong army, what are you waiting for, immediately ordered all the troops to raise troops and horses to immediately attack Modo's nine thousand cavalry by the river! ”

The officials and generals in the big tent got up and were about to go out to prepare, when Agul raised his hand to stop: "Slow! ”

Everyone stopped, all looked at Agul, not knowing what he had to say, Enek also looked at Agul and said, "What? Isn't now the perfect time, Agul? ”

Agul thought about it and immediately said to Enek: "Your Highness, please kill a few sheep, your subordinates need to divinate and predict good luck!" ”

Enek immediately said, "Okay, then what are you waiting for?" Come on, kill three sheep for Lord Agul and bring them in! ”

Soon after the order was delivered, three slaughtered sheep were brought in by several soldiers, the sheep had been killed, and the flesh and bones had been separated, Agul went forward and squatted on the ground to observe the situation of the sheep's entrails, and then took out the shoulder blades of the sheep, drilled a few small holes in them with a knife, and then threw the shoulder blades into the fire.

Agul is also a Hun shaman, shamans will basically divinate good luck, generally kill sheep, first observe the internal organs of the sheep, and then burn the shoulder blades of the sheep, look at the burning, you can measure the good luck. In the Battle of Chalons in 451 AD, Attila asked the shaman to calculate the luck and culpability of the decisive battle before the decisive battle, and the shamans at that time also used this method to determine the general situation of the future.

The shaman said, "King of kings, I fear that the outcome of this battle will be unfavorable to us. ”

“…… I had no choice. ”

"At least, we have one more piece of good news. The enemy's commander will be killed. ”

"Shall we all perish together? Is it Aetius, or Theodoric? ”

"It's not within the power of divination."

Afterwards, as expected, Attila was defeated, although he was not killed or captured, but withdrew to the Hun court with his men and horses, but his strength was greatly damaged, and he was not lightly wounded in the battle, one of the main generals of the enemy Visigothic king Theodoric was shot through the abdomen by a javelin thrown by the Ostrogothic soldiers, and was killed on the spot, and his son Torismund, the prince of the Visigothic kingdom, was pushed to the throne of the king by the generals and soldiers on the battlefield, and continued to lead the army to fight against Attila.

Seeing Agul standing up, his face was a little solemn, and Enek asked with a worried expression, "Lord Agul, how is the divination going?" Isn't it bad for our army? ”

Agul looked at the crackling sheep's shoulder blades in the fire, the solemnity on his face gradually lost, he raised his head and said: "Your Highness, if we attack now, we are worried that we will encounter disadvantages, the other party's soldiers have eaten and drunk enough in the morning, and they have eaten another meal at noon, and they have recovered their bodies, if we attack now, we will suffer a lot of losses!" ”

Enek hurriedly said: "What should I do then?" We can't let Qin Dong play like this! ”

Agul said again: "Your Highness, according to the observation of divination, the temperature will suddenly drop a lot tonight, so that the river will freeze, then Qin Dong's nine thousand troops on this side of the river can't always carry the snow, if they don't hide in the tent, they will all be frozen to death, then it will be our chance, but I can't measure the good luck at that time, this is not within the scope of my subordinates!" ”

Enek didn't care at all, he was overjoyed and said: "Okay, since the temperature will suddenly drop a lot after dark, when the river freezes, we will all set out and annihilate all the nine thousand men and horses here, and after that, we can cross the Danube from the ice of the river and kill into the territory of Qindong, loot and return with a full load, hahahaha......."
