Chapter 18 Be Prepared
"No problem with grain and grass?"
Chu He asked lightly.
At this time, he rode a war horse and stood at the front of the barracks, looking at the steppe that was getting dark in the distance.
Soon, the fire in the barracks will be the only light on the grassland.
In the darkness around me, I don't know how many dangers are hidden.
"There is no problem with grain and grass, and for now, it can support at least eight days. I asked hundreds of people randomly, and the food was good, and their physical strength could keep up, but the physical strength of the war horse had declined, but it seemed that it should not be a big problem to charge for a short distance. Song Nian said it succinctly.
Chu He nodded lightly: "This is very good, these days, you pay attention to controlling the grain and grass, don't consume it too quickly...... The army is outside, and grain and grass are the heart of the army. ”
"Yes." Song Nian looked around, hesitated, and asked in a low voice, "Lord Chu, these Hu people have no fixed residence, how can we suppress them?" ”
Chu He squinted his eyes and said lightly: "One word, kill!" ”
Song Nian was stunned: "This vast grassland, no one can find it, but how can you kill it?" ”
Chu He said lightly: "You can calculate the grain and grass, and you don't have to worry about other things." ”
Song Nian smiled bitterly, it seemed that Chu He didn't want to tell her, so he could only sigh and return to his barracks.
After returning to the barracks, Su Qi'er handed over his little hand like a treasure, and Song Nian looked at it, and on his little hand, he wrote some Arabic numerals with charcoal - this was used by Song Nian himself for convenience.
Song Nian suddenly said curiously: "How did you learn it?" ”
Dayongguo still uses square characters, not such simple Arabic numerals.
Su Qi'er smiled and said, "This is very simple, you will see it at a glance." ”
Then he proudly read it to Song Nian, and pronounced these numbers very accurately.
Song Nian smiled bitterly, she wasn't so smart back then, these Arabic numerals and addition and subtraction almost learned from her mother's cerebral vascular burst.
"That's smart!" Song Nian rubbed Su Qi'er's little head, pointed to these numbers and asked, "What are these numbers you remember?" ”
Su Qi'er said proudly: "This is their pulse, I saw that Master did it before, and I followed it." A small section of incense is a number. ”
Song Nian was suddenly surprised and patted his little head: "You are really smart!" Come, let the master copy the data. ”
Song Nian doesn't have a stopwatch or other timing tools here, so he can only use Xinxiang, plus the heart rate of himself and several soldiers in the army, to roughly calculate an average heart rate, and use this as a parameter to record the data of these prisoners.
In addition to heart rate, weight, sleep time, etc., all refer to other black-armored sergeants who eat and live together.
In short, relying on these primitive and crude figures, Song Nian probably mastered the physical changes of these prisoners, and piled up the completion of the task to more than half.
After transcribing these data in a small notebook, Song Nian compared them, and sure enough, he found that the heart rate of these prisoners gradually increased, their sleep decreased, and their weight decreased......
"It's not calm......" Song Nian sighed.
"Master, what is a tranquilizer class?" Su Qi'er asked studiously.
Song Nian touched his bare head and said with a smile: "It's just that after taking this medicine, I like to sleep and don't like to move around." ”
Su Qi'er nodded as if she didn't understand, and then said with a smile: "Every time I feed them medicine, they are very excited, and of course they don't like to sleep." ”
Song Nian smiled bitterly and looked at the completion of the task, which was almost 70%.
In this day and age, she has collected data to this extent, even if it is okay?
Song Nian always felt that this system task was not so simple.
But...... Forget it, if you can't figure it out, just follow the system for the time being.
As the night fell, Song Nian extinguished the torches in the tent, settled Su Qi'er to rest first, and then prepared to make an inspection, check the grain and grass, and then go to rest.
During the inventory, the soldiers who guarded the grain and grass were specially asked to cheer up.
Song Nian took the trouble to say: "Be careful at night, if this grain and grass catches fire, or is poisoned, our four thousand brothers of the Black Armor Army, as well as Lord Chu, I am afraid that they will all die on this grassland." ”
Song Nian is not alarmist, at this time, the Black Armor Army has been deep in the grassland for two days, and it is a typical lone army.
As for Mikawaguchi behind him...... Once something happens, it's good not to add to the chaos, and Holo is absolutely not capable of sending an army to lead it.
These soldiers were also nervous when Song Nian said: "My lord, put it down!" We'll keep an eye on it. ”
Song Nian nodded: "At night, you are divided into three shifts to guard, so you must not be careless." ”
The soldiers nodded their heads.
Song Nian made an inspection and prepared to go back to sleep.
After all, three shifts of manpower were arranged, and it shouldn't be a big problem to take turns guarding.
In the middle of the night, Song Nian suddenly woke up.
Some couldn't sleep, she glanced at Su Qi'er, who was sleeping deeply, shook her head, lifted the tent and walked out.
Outside, the moonlight of the first quarter moon shone down, reflecting the outside of the tent in a pale light.
Song Nian looked at the moon above his head, and then realized that today should be around the tenth day of the first lunar month, and before he knew it, a month would pass again.
This month, I followed the Chu River to the west, and there were almost no idle days.
Just as he was sighing, outside the camp tent, there was a sudden sound of plopping, and at random, there were black-armored sergeants on the sentry tower shouting: "Attack the camp!" Raid the camp! ”
The voice was answered by a sudden fire outside the camp.
Immediately, rockets flew into the air and fell towards the camp.
Song Nian exclaimed, "Quick! Wake up! Fire suppression! Fire suppression! ”
But to her surprise, a large area of fire suddenly rose in the camp.
One by one, the torches were lit, and the black-armored sergeants rushed out of the camp in an orderly manner, rushing up to fight when they saw the rockets.
In just a moment, all the rockets in the camp were extinguished.
All that was lost was the dozens of holes in the tent that were burned.
Song Nian was most worried about the grain and grass, but because he had sufficient manpower and was very vigilant, he suffered the least loss, only burning half a bundle of hay.
Then, Song Nian saw that the wooden door of the camp slowly opened, and then, a team of black cavalry rushed out.
A moment later, outside the camp, there was a sound of slashing.
Only then did Song Nian understand that it turned out to ...... Chu He had been secretly ambushing for a long time, waiting for the other party to attack the camp at night.
Before long, the slashing outside faded away.
Then, after waiting for a while, Song Nian saw a rider and slowly rode in.
Just looking at the general appearance, Song Nian knew that this was the Chu River.
Chu He came to Song Nian's side and dropped a person from the horse, who was seriously injured, but he just sneered.
"Man, here you go. Don't let him die! Ask for something. ”
Chu He said indifferently.
Song Nian nodded hurriedly, seeing that Chu He turned around and was about to leave, Song Nian hurriedly said: "Lord Chu, it's not a way to go on like this!" ”
You can't just wait passively every time to attack the camp.
Chu He didn't turn around, and said lightly: "It won't go on like this forever." ”
