Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 843 Horse Blood and Water
Time: May 5th, the day Hu Biao and others teleported to the mission world, around ten o'clock in the evening.

Location: Yuexiu Mountain Panlonggang, above the Sifang Fort.

Under the bright moonlight, a tantalizing aroma of meat filled the hills; it was Xiao Bailian, a guy from the Northeast, skillfully grilling horse steaks.

If you don’t know, this pretty guy also has pretty good cooking skills.

Especially in the aspect of barbecue, it is quite low.

Everything can be grilled, and compatriots from the Northeast seem to be especially talented in this area.

Under his operation, the horses were sizzling on the fire; especially when they were sprinkled with some salt, cumin, chili powder and other seasonings that were not thrown away when the goods were lightly packed, it was so delicious. The scent is simply overbearing.

It's a pity that such a "tickling, scratching" fragrance penetrates directly into people's noses; it also makes everyone on the hill feel hungry, and at the same time, their hearts become more and more anxious.

It is actually very normal for everyone to have such a reaction.

Counting from the time they crossed over to now, they have not eaten for more than ten hours; the big meal they had before crossing over has long been digested.

Not to mention that in this process, due to fighting, building fortifications and other reasons.

All of them were physically exhausted.

The most critical thing is that they need to take in enough nutrients and calories to ensure that their physical injuries can recover more quickly.

If enough food can be ensured, the recovery ability of the veterans of the team will be at least several times that of ordinary people; it will allow them to recover more combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

If not, the recovery speed will of course be similar to that of ordinary people.

Even if it is stronger, it will not be much stronger. It is equivalent to the principle of conservation of energy.

However, facing such fragrant horse steak, the hungry people were a little unable to eat; because they had not drank water for a long time, their mouths and throats felt burning.

Anyway, it’s a sentence: If you don’t eat, you will be hungry, but if you eat, you will be thirstier. This is a dilemma.

For a while, they originally wanted to wait until midnight and secretly fetch the water before eating and drinking, but their thoughts continued to waver.

After looking at each other, the imperial concubine finally shouted impatiently: "I don't care anymore, I can't wait to get the water back in the middle of the night before eating or drinking.

If I have to wait for you, I would rather drink some horse blood to quench my thirst now. "

After finishing speaking, the imperial concubine picked up a large bowl originally left by the Qing Army defenders, scooped out more than half of the bowl of horse blood, and poured it into her mouth with "Gudong, Gudong~".

In one breath, he drank most of the bowl of horse blood.

During this process, the girl, who had a proud face before drinking, had a wonderful expression.

no way!After the horse blood enters the mouth, the fishy smell goes straight to the Tianling Gai; in addition, the taste of this thing is still very dry.

The imperial concubine couldn't hold it in and almost vomited it out.

Fortunately, in addition to many beneficial and harmful components to the human body, the vast majority of components in raw horse blood are still water.

As the horse's blood dried up overnight, I overcame the initial feeling of nausea and nausea, and ignored the persistent feeling of heat.

The imperial concubine finally felt that the feeling of smoke coming out of her mouth and throat was relieved a lot.

Even the cells in the whole body seemed to be cheering at this moment.

Immediately, he took a dagger to the horse raft on the fire and cut off a long one. Not caring that it was still very hot, he just took a big bite.

After the horse meat entered her mouth, her eyes lit up and she gave the pretty boy a thumbs up gesture.

Because horse meat contains relatively little fat and relatively hard fiber, if the processing techniques are slightly inferior, it will taste very bad.

It's like chewing wood, and it's really not that delicious.

However, the horse steak baked by Xiaobailian is a good way to avoid such shortcomings.

Seeing this, the pretty boy yelled with a look of dismay on his face: "It means there is no water, otherwise I could make a table full of horse meat for everyone."

The rest of the team were shocked when they saw a girl like the imperial concubine.

Immediately, there was no intention of continuing to stay up until the second half of the night before drinking water or eating meat. They picked up the earthen bowls one after another.

After scooping up a bowl of horse blood, he held his nose and poured it into his mouth.

Immediately, their faces showed obvious signs of pain, and many of them even covered their mouths to prevent themselves from spitting out.

It's like sitting opposite the imperial concubine, Zhan Xiang, a beautiful Yangma girl.

The expression on that one is truly wonderful.

After seeing such a scene, the imperial concubine instinctively started driving towards Lao Tie: "Lao Tie, you and Zhan Xiang are not good at this. You need to practice more."

Maybe the car was going too fast, and everyone else was stunned for a while before they reacted.

I know what the imperial concubine is talking about.

Suddenly, amid huge roars of laughter, the war elephant jumped up from the ground and chased the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine did not forget to nibble on the horse chop in her hand while running in circles.

Zhan Xiang chased Xiaohui, but when he saw that he couldn't catch up, Lao Tie showed a strange smile.

He went up and kicked Lao Tie to the ground, and everyone's laughter became even louder.

Including this time's three newbies, Yu Hong and other Green Camp soldiers, and Henry, a foreign prisoner, this is the case. The originally gloomy mood and expression have obviously improved a lot.

Even Henry, the foreign devil, almost swallowed his own tongue.

Because I don’t know if this guy is too hungry, or if the so-called Great Yin Empire really doesn’t have anything good to eat.

All in all, he thought these horse steaks tonight were the most delicious food he had ever eaten in his life.

And there is absolutely no such thing as such.

In this way, after everyone drank dozens of kilograms of horse blood, they finally relieved the thirst in their mouths and began to eat horse steaks.

Even not long ago, when I was about to kill this war horse with only one breath left, I burst into tears when I heard the news.

Even the God of Wealth, who was shouting, "Why don't you kill me too," was lowering his head and chewing his mouth full of grease.

When the imperial concubine threw away the clean bones in her hand, the dogs even looked at them with disgust, and casually asked, "Is the God of Wealth delicious?"

When this girl raised her head, she said a classic line: "Smells, smells so good~"

Under these people's astonishing appetite, two horse chops were eaten clean in a blink of an eye.

In the following time, they roasted more than 100 kilograms of horse meat and ate it, which barely filled their stomachs.

After they were full and no longer thirsty, everyone's mood was obviously high. If there was something else that made them unhappy, it was the not quite round but bright moonlight in the sky.

Under such a moonlight, it is not very convenient to fetch water in the middle of the night.

But even so, everyone still did not give up on the plan to fetch water in the middle of the night.

They were on the mountain, and although they still had four-person war horses including AT, War Elephant, Barong, and Lao Hei, they were able to kill horses and drink their blood several times.

The key to the problem is that they know that drinking horse blood can only be used as an emergency, and it will not work for a long time; the body cannot bear it.

After arranging Yu Hong and other Green Camp soldiers, the three rookies followed the veterans and took turns to start the night vigil.

And he dug a few small holes in the ground, first put down an earthen bowl, and then covered it with an oilcloth left by the Qing Army and some branches and leaves.

The remaining people were all practicing cross-legged, or in other words, recovering from their injuries.

Soon after, when the horse meat in the stomach was quickly digested, a large amount of nutrients and heat were also produced; this heat was mobilized by them to accelerate the healing of the wound...

******
A few hours later, after Hu Biao finished his exercise, he did not open his eyes immediately, but carefully felt the condition of his body.You will soon feel that your body has more strength.

Even the numerous wounds are slightly itchy; this is a good thing, as it means that the wounds are healing quickly and well.

The matter of internal strength healing is indeed quite reliable.

Unfortunately, even so, it is impossible to completely recover in just a few days; not to mention that they still face many battles, with the threat of continued injury and death.

But overall, it's good news.

With this understanding, Hu Biao took out a mechanical pocket watch from his arms; he squinted and looked at it through the moonlight above his head.

That's right!It's a pocket watch. In this era of mission world, according to the rules of the system, there are naturally more things that can be brought over.

The premise is that Hu Biao and the others are prepared in advance.

This old pocket watch, which can be considered an antique watch, is a small item that Hu Biao and the others prepared in advance.

When I saw the time above, it was now 3:17, and the originally planned operation of going down the mountain to fetch water was about to begin.

For such an operation, they even gave up the tactics of attacking the Yin army at night and carrying out harassment.

For this reason, Hu Biao limped down and walked towards the three people of Barong, Singer and Huang Yizhi who were still meditating not far away on the left.

The above three people are the main members of tonight's water fetching operation.

The reason for choosing the three of them to fetch water is actually very simple, because the three of them are not only veterans in the team, but also quite good in body and light skills.

The most important thing is that their injuries are the least serious.

Specifically, how light is it?

Not counting bruises, broken bones and other injuries, there were only five gunshot wounds on Huang Yizhi's body. The one shot in his lower abdomen was relatively deep, but it did not completely penetrate the fat on his belly or break his intestines.

The singer was shot six times, including a serious shot in the waist.

According to Nanze, an old Chinese medicine doctor, there may be a kidney that will have no function in the future; but it is better than being shot in the thigh, and it will not affect the activities.

Barong was shot four times, and one shot knocked off half of his right ear. However, the missing half of the ear does not actually affect his hearing, let alone his movement.

So Hu Biao looked around and directly named the three of them to fetch water.

"Singer, Fatty Huang, and Barong, please wake up quickly~" Hu Biao shouted softly after he spoke.

After the three of them opened their eyes, Hu Biao quickly asked: "How do you feel? If it doesn't work, I can change someone else."

Faced with such a problem, the singer raised his sleeves, wiped the dried blood at the corners of his mouth, and gave a piece of good news:

"It feels much better, it should be fine."

The others, Balong and Huang Yizhi, did not speak, but nodded to indicate that they could do it and there was no need to change.

Seeing this, Hu Biao did not write any more ink, and just said the last sentence:
"Okay! Let's start taking action immediately. Although it is important to remember something, don't force it if it cannot be done. You can always think of other ways.

If it rains tomorrow, you don’t have to worry about water. After all, eastern Guangdong is famous for being rainy in summer..."

A few minutes later, the three singers took off their armor and dressed in light clothing.

Holding a wooden bucket in one hand and hanging several large bamboo tubes with stoppers on his body, he began to move quietly towards the small lake in the southwest.

Hu Biao and others will not be idle here.

Because the Yin Army is not stupid, since nightfall, a new batch of lobster soldiers arrived at the foot of the mountain amid people shouting and horses neighing.

Their total infantry strength directly exceeded 800; the number of artillery pieces of various calibers reached as many as 15.

With such a force, there is also the range of muskets and artillery.

They surrounded the entire Panlonggang on all sides and carried out a tight blockade.

Therefore, if Hu Biao and the others don't make some noise, the actions of Huang Yizhi and the others will be really difficult under the bright moonlight today.

At the same time that Fatty Huang set off, a group of veterans of the team also used the cover of trees and shrubs to start climbing down the hills in the northeast direction.

After reaching the position almost to the foot of the mountain, they all picked up the muskets in their hands.

Finally, when Hu Biao pulled the trigger on his fingertip.

Within one-half second at most, other people also pulled the triggers one after another; suddenly fifteen or sixteen muskets were fired one after another, breaking the tranquility of the night.

Even though there were [-] miles away, there were five lobster soldiers bragging about a fire and performing vigil duty.

Three of them, like wooden stakes, were placed on the ground and stopped moving.

Another one missed his vital point and screamed in agony after falling to the ground. The only lucky one grabbed the musket in his hand at the same time.

He also yelled in horror: "Enemy attack~"

At such a commotion, a large number of lobster soldiers who had been hiding emerged and opened fire on this side; many sleeping lobster soldiers in the camp also rushed out of the tents with muskets.

Even the artilleryman who slept directly next to the cannon quickly adjusted the muzzle after getting up.
However, two or three seconds later, after turning the wheel and pouring some ignition powder on the fire door, Hu Biao and others fired again, knocking down three or four lobster soldiers again.

In the following time, they continued to fire at the lobster soldiers.

Relying on the firepower advantage of the revolver gun, in a short period of time, more than a dozen of them managed to unleash a firepower intensity that was equivalent to at least half a company of lobster soldiers.

The Yin Army camp in this direction soon became completely chaotic.

Unfortunately, at the foot of the mountain in the southwest, the three singers were hiding in the bushes; looking at the lobster soldiers and artillerymen in front of them, they were completely unmoved by the loud sound of gunfire.

There was no scene of anyone moving to provide support.

After looking at each other involuntarily, they sighed silently in their hearts, knowing that these Yin soldiers were not fooled.

But even so, thinking of the feeling of thirst and the smell of horse blood that rushed straight to the sky, they still did not give up the idea of ​​fetching water.

After the cat bent down, he ventured out of the bushes where he was living.

In the end, he found out more than ten meters, and a few hundred meters away on the left hand side, there was a firelight.

At such a long distance, the lead bullet naturally flew to nowhere and did not hit any of the singers at all.

But such a movement also means that they have been discovered.

After seeing the volleys of guns raised in unison and the awakened artillerymen, and thinking of Hu Biao's explanation, Huang Yizhi was not even willing at all.

Still with great helplessness in his mouth, he shouted: "Withdraw..."

Early the next morning, when everyone looked up, they could see the cloudless sky and the sun that had just risen on the horizon.

Damn it!It looks like it will be a sunny day again today, and the chance of rain is even smaller.

Everyone who had long been accustomed to drinking a glass of water after getting up looked longingly at almost [-] milliliters of water in a large earthen bowl in front of them, and their throats began to move instinctively.

This is all they got last night through the condensation effect and collecting dew.

It was certainly a nice surprise to be able to get so much water, but it was too little to spread among more than thirty people.

Just when Hu Biao was thinking about whether to divide it up so that everyone could moisten their throats, or save it for emergencies.

Lao Hei's hoarse voice came from afar: "Old Hu, it seems that the Yin Army is about to take action. Are they going to ignore the noble prisoner with a certain degree of civility..."
