Villager of Daming

Chapter 1234 The two parties are calculating on the plain

He likes to eat small roots of garlic and chopped green onions, but they are dry and cannot be used to make pancakes. They are usually put in when making noodle soup. If you soak them in advance to make pancakes, the effect will be poor.

There were wild vegetables on the road, and everyone in the team knew them. Many of them were medicinal herbs, so they just picked them and handed them over.

Garlic stalks can also be considered a medicinal herb, but few people really use them as medicine. They are all eaten like onions. They feel more fragrant than onions and have a hint of earthy smell.

The reason why it is not planted specifically as a substitute for seeds is that its yield is low and it is not cost-effective. If there is any on the mountain, just pick it, otherwise forget it.

"Hey! Put more green onions, hmm! Hehehehehe..."

Zhu Wentian was in a good mood. He was afraid that Nahachu would run for his life, so he would just stop.

It seems that Nahachu doesn't want to go back with only a few thousand people. Running is the most difficult thing, which is more difficult than chasing.

The defeated soldiers on the battlefield had no morale, the troops were scattered, unable to be commanded, and the soldiers were separated.

There is a difference between successfully breaking out and being allowed to break out. A successful breakout means defeating the besieging army in that place.

Breaking out, protecting the flanks, and covering the rear are part of a set of deployments.

The people at the rear basically have no chance to join up with the main force, and they either surrender or die in battle.

Usually, the troops who are left behind to cover the rear are those who fight to the death and never surrender. They are asked to cover the main force and are told in advance that their families will be well taken care of.

It was just that Naha had no time to arrange for such people, and it was easy for his own Ming army to capture prisoners, so they surrendered as soon as they were shouted.

The weapons of both sides are unequal, and if they don't surrender they will just die in vain. It is absolutely impossible to kill everyone to get their money's worth.

If you are allowed to break out, it proves that you have not killed the enemy in that direction, and it cannot prove that you still have combat effectiveness, and the enemy forces in other directions will continue to chase you.

The team that lets you out will naturally follow you, which is equivalent to a tactic of surrounding three and leaving one. Are you afraid?
Without completely defeating the enemy in that direction, my own army was in disarray...

"Brother Hanhan, give me more sauce, sweet bean sauce. It's really good with river sauce..." Lao Wu followed.

"I'm setting it up for you! What's the point of telling others?" Ling'er interrupted Laowu.

"It's really good to have a river. We have some disassembled boats in our team, and we can put them back together when we get to the river.

They want to fight with their backs against the wall, so let's make them get attacked from behind as well.

I guess they would never imagine what our team’s equipment is like, and it’s not just weapons.

Ah! Sister Ling'er is making pancakes for me? Put more sweet noodle sauce in it!"

Lao Wu insisted on finishing what he was saying, and then pretended to suddenly see Ling'er making pancakes to remind her.

The others were also in a hurry. It was impossible for only the other troops to move while their own central army stayed where it was.

The speed of traveling is not as fast as the speed of escaping or chasing, but it is not much slower, about half the speed.

We had lunch and rested at noon. We had to take care of the captured prisoners and feed them boiled wild vegetables with plain water, a little salt and some oil.

When the food in the big pot is cooked, scoop a little oil into it and stir it, then serve!

When serving, each spoonful of the food seems to have oil on it. This is floating oil, which is completely useless. It cannot make the food fragrant, nor can it provide much oil for people.

Giving food to the prisoners is because we are afraid that they will starve to death. The captured prisoners have said that they had not had breakfast today and ate early last night, so they are extremely hungry.

After being smoked, you feel tired and need some hot water, which is better to make into soup. Also, just a little salt, not too much, just a little to supplement electrolytes.

It is not worthwhile to capture prisoners alive and then let them die from hunger and electrolyte imbalance.

But the next meal was the next day, and no salt was added, fearing that the prisoners would rebel. Lack of salt would lead to dehydration, and people would have no strength. Diuretic drugs remove salt and water, and some even remove potassium. Low potassium levels can cause problems, so there are drugs that remove salt and water without removing potassium.

Which one should I eat? People with high potassium levels should eat the fully depotted version, while people with low potassium levels should eat the non-depotted version.

It’s not good if the potassium is too low, and it’s not good if the potassium is too high either.

……

After everyone's pancakes are ready, everyone eats together. No one eats one in advance.

Each person gets a bowl of wild vegetable soup, nothing else, not even the pickles are laid out. All they have to do is eat a pancake and drink some soup.

Lao Wu took a big bite of Jianbing Guozi, showing an expression of enjoyment, and swallowed it slowly: "They had lunch yesterday afternoon, and then had lunch at around nine o'clock in the morning, almost ten o'clock.

Once we take action, they won't have time to eat. Will someone drop all the food when they run?

As we captured prisoners one after another, we took the things they left behind, including a lot of food.

Why are the pork floss, dried meat and cheese they brought not tasty? The fried noodles are even harder to swallow, it’s really not easy.”

Lao Wu complained that the captured things were not good, especially the food, none of which he could accept.

Meat floss, dried meat, and cheese all have a bad smell, but the same things he ate in Xiaqiu Village were not smelly.

He originally wanted to eat some other people's meat floss, but not only could he not eat it, he felt sick just by smelling it. Why would meat floss have that smell?
It's even more smelly than the fish bone meal used to feed poultry and livestock in Xiaqiu Village.

The head of the village drank a mouthful of soup and said: "Your Highness, this is a matter of craftsmanship. Bei Yuan only needs to cook the food, regardless of the taste. How many people would consider that in a war?

But don’t throw it away, and don’t let them eat it. Let’s process it again.

Cook it all again and add spices or baking powder to get rid of the bad taste.

Some of them stink like stinky tofu, made in Xiaqiu Village. Eating them is harmless to your body, unless you eat too much and feel uncomfortable.

To put it bluntly, it is a fermentation problem. If the fermentation is not done well, it is easy to breed substances that are harmful to humans.

I didn’t expect that both battles were so easy. We should move forward quickly after dinner and not give Nahachu a chance to rest.”

Everyone fell silent, ate, and then set off... No, hurry on!
When they were preparing to rush to the edge of the plain at night, Nahachu had already arrived and was shouting hard, and people on the other side of the river could hear him.

The wind direction changed, sometimes just heading towards the direction of Naha's army. The hot air balloon would be tied with a rope underneath and fly across the river like a kite, conducting reconnaissance over the enemy.

At this time, the counterweight is reflected. Three-point positioning is the most stable, but hot air balloons cannot do that! There are only two ropes. When the wind blows, the basket will tilt. Use sandbags to counterweight the other side so that the basket can be stabilized.

Looking down from such a high place, a heavy machine gun was set up and pointed downwards...

……

"We can't get through! They say we should attack when our people are halfway across the river. They didn't even wait for some of our people to get across before they started to attack.

It looks like we have to wait until night time to get to both upstream and downstream of the river.

This battle... is going to be difficult! The Ming army didn't give us a chance to rest. How did the bullets fly over from such a distance? "

Nahachu also set up camp, more than 200 meters away from the river. He did not dare to get close, because the range of the Ming army's guns was too far, and they could hit him across the 40-meter-wide river.

They organized people to launch an attack, but they were killed every time when they were in the water.
