When Yu Min's patrol returned to Kunming City, they found that the atmosphere in the city was obviously tense.

The streets were full of soldiers and officials, shouting and drinking, and busy. There were also a large number of chariots, horses, and people, who hurried out of the city, and they didn't know what to do.

Wang Zongqi took a few people to send the wounded to the military hospital, while the rest of them went back to the barracks and handed over to thousands of households.

Liu Qianhu already knew the information brought by Niu Deputy Baihu, and asked them to immediately fill their stomachs, hurry up and rest, and recuperate to wait for the next order.

As the saying goes, 'the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers', and before the army fights, the food will always be significantly improved. As soon as Yu Min returned to the barracks, he smelled the aroma of stewed meat, and Deputy Qianhu Zhang said to them with a smile: "Sauerkraut stewed bacon, red rice open to eat!" ”

The soldiers cheered, as long as they could eat a meal of meat, what was there to be afraid of fighting?

I lined up with a bowl and came to the cauldron, made a bowl of red rice by myself, and then asked the cook to bring a spoonful of sauerkraut and stewed bacon.

"Lao Peng, get more meat!" The soldiers stared at the spoon in the cook's hand and begged him to widen his hand.

"Add me some soup...... Yu Min was not so greedy, and successfully got an extra spoonful of soup, then squatted under the wall with a big bowl and ate it in a big gulp.

He ate soup and rice first, then sauerkraut, and kept a few slices of red bacon, and finally prepared to enjoy it.

When he ate only bacon left, he heard Liu Qianhu shouting loudly: "Choose Feng!" ”

Yu Min didn't think about it, he immediately stood up and shouted with his comrades: "I, I!" ”

Liu Qianhu did not immediately draw lots according to the old rules, but looked at the group of brothers who had followed him into Yunnan to fight for a whole year, and sighed: "This mission is very dangerous, and it is likely that they will be outnumbered and will never return. So ......"

After a pause, he raised his voice and said: "Father and son are both in the army, and my father is not allowed to draw lots; If the brothers are in the army, the elder brother is not allowed to draw lots; If the only son has no brothers, he is not allowed to draw lots. ”

Wang Zongqi looked at his brothers and said to Yu Min: "Don't draw lots." ”

"I have brothers." Yu Min said hurriedly.

"Your brother is twelve." Wang Zongqi frowned.

"Thirteen." Yu Min said: "I can find a daughter-in-law next year!" ”

"Are you stupid!" Wang Zongqi said angrily: "Don't you still have to support Li Laoba's mother and marry his sister?" ”

"......" Yu Min stopped talking, and silently ate a few slices of bacon with the rice bowl, but it tasted like chewing wax.

~~

When the lot was drawn, he silently followed the line and also drew one.

"Why are you so disobedient?!" He didn't see Wang Zongqi until he finished drawing, and he almost didn't get angry. "What did you smoke?"

Yu Min opened his hand, and a long skewer appeared in front of Wang Zongqi.

"Bastard!" Wang Zongqi scolded and wanted to exchange the short sticks in his hand for his long sticks, but Yu Min avoided them.

"Who got the long sign?" Liu Qianhu shouted at the gate of the camp.

"Me!" The soldiers who won the lottery held up the sticks in their hands, and there were nearly half of them. The proportions are unprecedentedly high, which shows that the strength of the city is stretched.

"Me!" Yu Min also raised the skewer high and shouted loudly.

"Assemble yourself." Liu Qianhu said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The officers and soldiers who had drawn the lot should shout, and after finishing their meals, they began to put on their helmets and armor, rolled up the sheets, and then put the water bladders and buckets in ...... That is, copper bowls and other individual weapons are wrapped in oilcloth ponchos.

At this time, the bags of dry food were also sent down. Each person was given four liters of rice and four liters of wheat flour.

After receiving the full amount of dry food bags, the experienced veteran knew that the battle would bring back six days.

Wang Zongqi helped Yu Min prepare the dry food bag, and scolded and said: "You stupid calf goes to the battlefield by yourself, don't just rush and fight, be smart, otherwise you will finish the calf!" ”

"Wang Tou, I am also a small flag now, not a recruit." Yu Min said in a muffled voice.

"Bullshit Xiaoqi...... Wang Zongqi scolded, lowered his voice and said: "Qianhu has said so clearly, and he will be sent to death on the pole." ”

"Although I am afraid of death, I have to go if I should go, and I can't let others die for me." Yu Min suddenly said with a smile.

"......" Wang Zongqi was speechless when he boarded, and only silently helped him hang up the short knife and stuffed the spear into his hand.

After thinking about it, he hung his shield on his back again......

~~

When Yu Min and hundreds of other officers and soldiers followed Liu Qianhu to the school grounds, thousands of soldiers were already gathered here.

Yu Min looked up at the general's platform, in addition to the Hou Ye and the young commander, he also saw a familiar figure - Qi Qianhu.

Oh yes, now it's Deputy Commander Qi.

Qi Xiang was first promoted from a thousand households to a commanding officer, and in June, he was promoted to deputy commander. But his legs and feet have not been good, and he has not been able to get the discharge permission of the military doctor for a long time, and if it were not for the military emergency, there was no one available in the city, and he would have to stay in the hospital honestly.

He wore a handsome mountain armor, a red tasseled helmet, and a cloak behind his back hunting and dancing in the autumn wind, which was the standard equipment of the first-class officers commanded by the Ming Dynasty, so that Qi Xiang finally stepped into the ranks of senior officers.

Of course, compared to the commander in front of him, who was less than thirty years old and had already held the title of governor, his achievements were insignificant.

Feng Cheng only felt a lot of pressure, as the son of the Duke of the Kingdom, he started to rise quickly, but the voice of doubt was not small. He has to do better than everyone else, and if he is slightly worse, he will be pointed at behind his back, saying that he is a useless second ancestor.

For example, this time, he couldn't choose to stick to it, and he had to attack, and personally led the team. Otherwise, it will be said that the second ancestor is cowardly......

At this time, the 10,000 Xuanfeng were assembled, and Xie Xiong asked Feng Dusi to speak.

Feng Cheng nodded when he heard this, his eyes swept over the soldiers, and he took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, there is a dangerous mission......

Then, before the autumn harvest was completed, 200,000 barbarian soldiers suddenly rebelled, and the news of their arrival at Kunming Bazi was reported to the soldiers the day after tomorrow.

Then he said in a deep voice: "I won't tell you that there is not much grain left in the city. This year's newly harvested autumn grain is still outside the city, and if we don't harvest it, we will become the rebels' pocket! ”

"In that case, even if our army returns to the division, it will collapse without a fight due to lack of food. Seeing this, the Tusi in various places will definitely cause chaos, and Kunming City and even the whole of Yunnan will fall again! As he spoke, he glanced around again and asked the solemn-looking soldiers, "Can you accept such a result?" ”

"Can't!"

"Can't!" The soldiers roared in unison.

"Therefore, I will lead you to the area of Dabanqiao, Sacrificial Insect Mountain, and Phoenix Mountain to block the enemy!" Feng Cheng waved his arms and shouted:

"As long as we block the enemy for three days, the political secretary will be able to complete the autumn grain rush, and the situation in Kunming and even Yunnan will be better! Let's go! ”
