Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Life-Saving Meat Soup

"Below the flag, it looks like this big battle is coming. Looking at the back that suddenly disappeared, Yue Mochen muttered.

"General, when are you leaving?"

At this moment, Wang Yao walked out of the tent and came behind Yue Mochen.

"Right now. ”

Yue Mochen didn't say much, he rode his war horse and set off with two hundred elite cavalry.

········

A month later, news came from the other side of the Huaishui that Mo had been executed for his rebellion, and at the same time the Jin army launched a fierce attack on Huaiyun Cliff.

Wang Yao led the troops to launch a fierce resistance battle with the Jin army, and this battle lasted until Yue Mochen led an army of 200,000 and began to fight with the main force of the Jin army, and there was no pause for a moment.

········

On the Huaiyun Cliff, at this moment, a man in armor was constantly directing soldiers to resist the fierce attack of the Jin army.

This man in armor was Wang Yao, who was awarded the post of general by Yue Mochen, and it turned out that Yue Mochen's vision was good.

It has been more than half a year since the Jin army began to launch an offensive, and under the command of Wang Yao, although the Jin army's offensive was very fierce, it was never able to attack Huaiyun Cliff.

However, in the fierce offensive of the Jin army for more than half a year, because of the urgency of the front line during the war, Yue Mochen never sent food supplies except for the previous few months.

"General, we don't have much food and stumps left, and we can last three days at most!" said a general in charge of statistical materials at this moment.

"Pass the order, reduce the daily food consumption again, strive to hold on for five days, tell all the soldiers that food will be delivered after five days, and I will invite everyone to eat meat at that time!"

"But General, we can't shrink the food of each of our soldiers now, otherwise everyone will definitely be unable to meet the battle. "The generals are a little embarrassed.

"Okay, you go down first, I want to be alone!"

Listening to the general's words, Wang Yao only felt very heavy in his heart.

"General, when will you be able to send supplies over! My Huaiyun Cliff is almost unable to hold it!" Wang Yao looked at the sky in the distance, and his heart was very bitter.

"Report! The general has a letter delivered!" At this moment, a general held a letter in his hand and quickly rushed towards the place where Wang Yao was.

"Write it to me!"

When he heard that this letter was sent by the general, the bitterness in Wang Yao's heart suddenly disappeared, and it was replaced by endless hope.

The general refers to the commander of the three armies, and the current general is also held by Yue Mochen.

After receiving the letter handed over by the general, Wang Yao hurriedly opened it.

The contents of the letter

Wang Yao, because our army is now entangled with the main force of the Jin soldiers, I am sorry that I did not send you a supplement in the past few months.

Seven days later, I will lead a large army to deliver the materials in time, and I hope you can hold on until then, the terrain of Huaiyun Cliff is extremely important, and it must not be lost, and the success or failure of this battle depends on you.

After reading this letter, Wang Yao's face couldn't help but feel bitter.

"Seven days, seven days, how can I stick to that time!" Wang Yaonan whispered.

"General, it is said that the general has sent a letter, is the grain and grass going to be delivered!"

After hearing that the general had sent a letter, the generals hurried over from other places.

"Now I don't want to expire for you, the general said that after seven days, he will personally lead the army to transport grain and grass, and then we will usher in a full-scale counteroffensive······ Wang Yao gritted his teeth and told the generals the truth.

"But the general's soldiers are now too hungry to fight, and if this continues, Huaiyun Cliff will definitely be breached in three days!" said one of the generals worriedly.

"Yes, General, now the Jin Army is like going crazy, launching wave after wave of fierce attacks more than ever, our defense is already very difficult, if we are hungry, how can we survive these seven days!" another general chimed in.

"You all listen to me quietly," Wang Yao shouted at everyone and said, "I know that this is a very difficult time, but we also have to find a way to overcome the difficulties, Huaiyun Cliff is here to win or lose this battle, we must hold on, otherwise we will become sinners through the ages, and now that there is a shortage of food, then we will find a way to deal with it ourselves·······

Listening to the words of the generals around him, Wang Yao also knew that what they said was true, but now he had no choice, what he could do was to keep appeasing everyone.

"The general has a note, the general used to live in the mountains, and the general is confident that he can find many wild beasts within a radius of ten miles to satisfy his hunger. ”

Just as Wang Yao was calming everyone, a rough-looking general suddenly interrupted him and said.

"Okay, then you can go and look for it!"

Listening to the general's attention, Wang Yaodang even allowed him.

"General Qiyu, the last general used to be a fisherman, who could fish from the Huai water to satisfy his hunger. One of the generals said.

"General Mo General ·····"

Driven by that rough general, some previous generals who had hunting skills and were looking for wild vegetables and fruits offered their plans, and Wang Yao naturally allowed them all.

·······

A day later, these men who had been ordered to go out in search of food did bring back a lot of food, but it was not enough in the face of the consumption of the army.

At this moment, in the general's tent, Wang Yaozheng summoned a famous general to discuss something.

In the tent, at this moment, on the table, there was a bowl of meat made of unknown meat, and a famous general was devouring it.

"General, this must not be, if our soldiers know, it will definitely lead to a great loss of morale, and even a rebellion!" After listening to Wang Yao's words, the bowl in the hand of a general with meat soup fell on the table with a bang, and his expression became very frightened.

"But if it weren't for that, it would be impossible for us to defend this Huaiyun Cliff within seven days!" When he said this, Wang Yao's face was obviously a little disgusting, but his attitude was very resolute.

"Please think twice!"

Seeing Wang Yao's expression so determined, the generals immediately knelt on the ground and begged.

"I tell you the truth, this is the kind of meat that you now have with me, including the soup with which I am mingling. ”

Wang Yao's words were like a thunderclap, which made the generals retched unconsciously, and some even fainted directly.

"You are also accompanied by the name of a soldier, even this little pain can't be endured, you are not worthy of being a soldier!"

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of these generals who had bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield in the past, Wang Yao couldn't help but roar angrily.

"The general is right, for the sake of victory on the battlefield, for the sake of those soldiers who sacrificed on the battlefield, I will definitely overcome it!" the general drank the remaining half bowl of meat soup.

"It's good, this is the courage of my Great Song general!"

Looking at the general who forcibly drank the meat soup with the intention of vomiting, Wang Yao's face finally eased a little.

With this general taking the lead, the group of generals who were still vomiting forcibly swallowed the remaining meat soup.

It's just that there are still many people who vomit the meat soup they swallowed again, as if the ingredients used to make the meat soup are disgusting.

·······

After dawn, one by one the generals walked out of the tent, but compared with when they came in, these generals seemed to have lost something and looked very sluggish.

From this day on, there was no shortage of food supplies on the Huaiyun Cliff, and almost every soldier could eat meat regularly.

The soldiers were suspicious of the origin of the meat at first, but they did not suspect it when they heard from their generals that it was food supplies that had arrived.

It was also since this day that the soldiers also found that their originally very resourceful generals had become extremely murderous when they fought against the Jin army, as if they had changed people.

·······

Time passed slowly, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

It's just that Yue Mochen didn't arrive on time as stated in the letter, but Wang Yao was not in a hurry at the moment, because they found items to replace grain and grass.

The Jin army is still fiercely attacking Huaiyun Cliff day after day, and Wang Yao is also holding his position to the death.

No matter how the Jin army launched a fierce attack, he would be blocked from the Huaiyun Cliff, and he never let a single Jin soldier set foot on the Huaiyun Cliff.

·······

Time passed again, and seven days passed again in the blink of an eye, this time Yue Mochen still did not come, but he sent a cart of grain and grass and two thousand elite soldiers to support, and sent a message asking Wang Yao to hold on for a month no matter what.

With the addition of a large amount of grain and grass from these two thousand strong soldiers, Wang Yao's resistance, which had already been a little overwhelming, became tough again, making those Jin soldiers all grit their teeth but helpless.

······

Twenty-four days later, Wang Yao's troops again encountered a shortage of food and grass, and there were many wounded in the resistance these days, and this time because of the increase in numbers, the food and grass required were also very terrifying.

"At the rate of grain and grass consumed by our troops, we can't support the Dao January period at all!" the general in charge of material control reported to Wang Yao.

"Isn't it enough to use the same method as before? Wang Yao asked with some confusion.

"General, don't you know, we have a total of more than 5,000 soldiers at the moment, even if we use the previous method, it will be a drop in the bucket!" the general sighed and shook his head.

Listening to the general's words, Wang Yao couldn't help but fall into contemplation, and from time to time he also made a struggling look.

He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "How many soldiers are seriously injured and incurable now?"

"General Qiyu, there are more than 800 soldiers who were seriously wounded. The general replied after a moment's thought.
