Chapter 77 Soldiers and Soldiers

At midnight, a light appeared in the sky.

Under Zhang Liao's arrangement, the baggage team that crossed Wenshui overnight began to deliver meals to each battalion.

Since each battalion has different numbers of people, with the largest being tens of thousands and the smallest being only two thousand, the number of handymen assigned to them is also different——

After the troops were united, Lu Li and Lu Bu were responsible for guarding the left wing of the camp, with about 20,000 troops. Therefore, a total of 2,000 servants and heavy troops came, some carrying food boxes and some carrying buckets, and they were distributed in an orderly manner along the tents.

.

Lu Li and Lu Bu did not do anything special. They sat cross-legged in the tent and ate the same food as ordinary soldiers.

Of course, since both of them are military commanders, their appetites are much higher than ordinary people, so the heavy soldiers specially left two extra boxes of pancakes.

In addition, there is water spinach soup, a stack of meat sauce, a few pickles, and a stack of boiled bacon.

In addition, the food for tens of thousands of people must be prepared in advance by the supply camp. It will be cold when delivered at this time.

"Brother, please drink some hot water." Lu Li took the copper pot off the charcoal brazier and shouted.

Lu Bu was eating wheat pancakes with sauce, and when he heard Lu Li calling him, he quickly swallowed it and picked it up with his hands.

At this moment, a soldier in white robes opened the camp tent, raised his hands and said, "Two generals, my lord has summoned me for something important."

Hearing this, the two of them threw away their food boxes and stood up, their expressions becoming serious.

"After waiting for two hours, the war is finally about to begin."

"One move determines victory or defeat."

Outside the camp, countless soldiers were squatting or sitting on the ground, eating a big meal. Yes, for them, if there was meat in the meal and enough pancakes, it was a big meal.

[The soldiers will feast on the day to defeat Pei Gong’s army!]

Somehow, Lu Li thought of this sentence and sighed secretly.

It is almost foreseeable that the next decisive battle will be bloody, and for most people, this sumptuous morning meal will be the last meal.

Family affairs, state affairs, war affairs.

With various complicated emotions, Lu Li and Lu Bu stepped into the Chinese army's tent.

As soon as he entered, he saw Ding Gong walking back and forth in front of the map with his hands behind his back, his burly body not showing any signs of age, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something troubling.

Below, the generals were arranged in order according to their positions, waiting silently.

Perhaps when he noticed that everyone was here, Ding Gong raised his head and said: "Meng Ming, you asked for merit for the junior high school under your command, so I accepted your request and promoted Zhang Zhao to the rank of captain, commanding two thousand wolf cavalry soldiers."

Soldiers go forward to help defend the left wing."

Lu Li didn't have much trouble in his heart. He was promoted before the battle. This was a routine operation. What was he trying to do?

It's nothing more than a morale booster.

However, when he thought that someone he knew well could be promoted, he did not refuse immediately and bowed to him: "Zhang Zhao fought bloody battles and sacrificed his life for the lord with his head raised. Now he has received a reward. I will thank my lord for the promotion on his behalf!"

"Hahaha." Ding Yuan stroked his beard and laughed, and said: "In this battle, we are all working for His Majesty, for the Han Dynasty, and for the people of Bingzhou. Meng Ming, don't talk nonsense."

"promise."

As soon as he finished speaking, the previous solemn atmosphere suddenly dissipated, and all of this was attributed to Lu Li, just because the two of them talked for a few words.

What is favor letter?

This is it.

In an instant, many generals in the tent looked at Lu Li with envy, and they only wished that their parents had not given him a good skin.

Of course, when they thought about Lu Li's various achievements, they calmed down again.

at the same time.

Wenshui City is filled with the aroma of meat.

Nearly 300,000 troops gathered inside and outside the city. The commanders of the Yellow Turban Army stood at the top of the city with their heads high, looking at the tents on the plain and the countless soldiers and horses. Their dormant fighting spirit was reawakened.

Make me Huang Tian!

Guo Tai, the commander-in-chief of Qu, stood among the crowd, holding on to the city wall, showing his own magnanimity——

Wearing armor with this beast painted on it, and a gleaming scabbard inlaid with jewels, he was standing on the top of the city with his head held high.

"Master, all the chickens and dolphins in the city have been eaten by the men, and their morale has been greatly boosted." A young commander bent down and said.

Hearing this, Guo Tai looked away and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever given money to the people in accordance with military orders?"

"nature……"

At this moment, a guard rushed over, knelt on one knee on the ground, clasped his fist and said: "Report to Master, the scouts are here to report that there is movement in the Han army camp!"

"Bring someone up."

Guo Tai waved his hand gently, and after the personal guards were ordered to leave, he looked at the young commander again: "Continue."

"Eggs cost one cent, chickens are given ten to twenty cents depending on their size, and the same goes for dolphins. We don't dare to deduct the slightest bit from them."

Next, Xiaoshuai kept patting his chest and saying, "Everyone comes from a poor background. If you rob people of their property, what's the difference between them and Han thieves?"

I just had to swear on my parents.

Seeing this, Guo Tai felt relieved.

Immediately afterwards, a scout with a yellow scarf on his head came to the city to perform military salutes.

Zhou Tian, ​​who was standing in the front position, looked sideways slightly. He looked like someone who had suffered a fate. His rough skin was only the result of being exposed to wind and sun for many years and doing strenuous work. The mustache on his mouth was also messy.

Alas, water can carry a boat but also capsize it.

However, why can't the Yellow Turban Army, which represents the interests of the people all over the world, defeat the official army?

"What's the movement of the Han army ahead?" Guo Tai asked.

The scout replied in a deep voice: "Half an hour ago, a team of nearly five thousand people crossed Wenshui. They were pulled by carts and donkeys, and they seemed to be transporting something."

"Has there ever been smoke coming out of the Han army's camp?"

"Never."

Guo Tai's expression was incomprehensible and he said lightly: "That's the supply camp stationed on the north bank of Wenshui River."

"The old thief didn't bury the pot and start the stove, but instead ordered the soldiers to bring cooked food over. Could it be that he wanted to make a sneak attack?"

A young commander speculated: "The general is brave, but I have to say something! There is no danger to defend the nearby flat plains. Tens of thousands of elite officers and soldiers have gathered outside the city. If there is a sudden uprising..."

Having said this, he paused, as if recalling something terrible, "With those three fierce generals, I'm afraid the Han army will be able to break through the defense line and reach Wenshui City soon."

"When the time comes, how can we hold on for a long time? As the master said before, although Wenshui City has strong walls and plenty of food and grass, we will definitely lose if we hold on for a long time."

"In my opinion, it is better to collect the excrement of the people in the city. When it boils, it will turn into golden juice. It is extremely poisonous. As long as you pour it on, no medicine will be effective. It will only cause pus and sores to fester!"

"Yes, we also need to prepare waterwheels to prevent enemy fire attacks, as well as rolling logs and stones to demolish some useless houses."

Some people discussed loudly, while others had their faces drawn down and shouted: "Why do you have to guard?"

"General Li, is he scared out of his wits by the traitor general?"

"Yes, I am indeed afraid. The lives and fortunes of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban martyrs depend on us. How can we not be afraid?"

"Destiny is mine!"

"Then last night..."

The noise rang out at the top of the city. Guo Tai slapped the city bricks hard and shouted, "Don't make any noise, I'm not dead yet."
