That afternoon, under the vigorous assault of the sergeants, a simple camp was set up.
It was indeed so simple that after nightfall, a large number of sergeants had to be sent out to guard against Ming army night raids and zombie attacks.
This night was really non-stop, with zombies coming from time to time, trying to rush into the camp and bite living creatures.
Fortunately, although the camp is simple, it still has a great protective effect, so that the troops resting inside can feel at ease.
Shengsheng stayed up all night outside the city, and the next morning the various departments began to change shifts, and those who had not rested began to rest.
The soldiers who had rested last night will be responsible for sentry duty, and they must further strengthen the camp.
After a morning of reinforcement, the camp was finally stabilized, which naturally allowed more soldiers to rest.
Of course, this break is also temporary, and there are still many tasks waiting for the soldiers.
The most important task is to cut down enough trees to prepare for the arrival of craftsmen to make siege equipment.
Soon it was noon, more than a dozen large pots were cooking at the same time, and the soldiers began to eat alternately.
"Long live His Highness King Yong!"
Slogans before the meal are indispensable. After everyone shouted, they started to receive food one after another. This may be the earliest buffet in this era.
There are three kinds of food today, white flour steamed buns, millet porridge, and pickles.
After receiving the food, Huang Tianyan came to the edge of the camp and sat down, and his soldiers also sat down nearby.
At this time, a small flag officer came forward and said helplessly: "Sir, I thought there was egg drop soup today!"
After taking a sip of porridge and chewing some pickles, Huang Tianyan said solemnly: "It's good to have some. Look at what the rebels eat and what life is like for the people under their rule!"
Huang Tianyan was born as a bandit, but he has such a high consciousness at this moment, which shows how much influence he has received in the army.
"That's what my lord said, and that's what I said!" Xiao Qiguan chuckled.
After taking a bite of the steamed bun, Huang Tianyan continued: "Tell the brothers below that you should work more casually in the afternoon and don't let others gossip!"
"What? Sir, we are not lazy in our work!"
"The bottom line is not to be lazy. You have to compare with other brothers. Don't yell with me...if you want to yell, yell at the adults of the hundred households!"
Then, the little flag officer stopped talking.
Huang Tianyan ate with peace of mind, but glanced outside the camp.
After this battle, he should return to the city to get married.
That's right, during the six months he stayed in Yuanyang City, Huang Tianyan promised himself a marriage and was waiting to go back to consummate the marriage.
Just as he was enjoying the bright future, he saw a large group of people arriving in the distance, including a large number of common people.
It is the people from Xingyuan and Liu'an who have come, and these people will be used to persuade them to surrender.
The team slowly approached and passed outside the camp.
These are all adult men, and most of them have a look of fear on their faces, which is extremely normal.
Therefore, among these people, those who look calm appear to be out of place and can be noticed at a glance.
"Lao Zhang?" Huang Tianyan muttered.
He couldn't believe it, thinking that he had seen it wrong, but at this moment, the man had already passed by, and Huang Tianyan could no longer see his face clearly.
So he stood up, took two steps forward with his food, and shouted: "Old Zhang? Zhang Ziming!"
Hearing this voice, the man turned around naturally, and the old brothers who had been separated for a long time reunited at this scene.
At this time, the escorting soldier yelled: "Hurry up, don't delay!"
Zhang Ziming was shouted at and continued to move forward. At this moment, he actually didn't want to meet Huang Tianyan.
Now he is a defeated general, and Zhu Jinzhang, who has taken refuge with Zhu Jinzhang, is at the end of his rope, which proves that his choice is wrong.
He can't even stand looking at the way he looks now, so why would he want his old friends to see him?
But Zhang Ziming didn't know that he was wrong. Huang Tianyan not only didn't want to laugh at him, but at this moment he was thinking about how to save him.
Unlike other people, Zhang Ziming was tied with a rope, which meant that he would be punished.
"Sir, who is that person?" The flag officer stood up and asked.
"Someone we once knew!"
Without much explanation, Huang Tianyan ordered: "Tell Mr. Baihu that I have something to do and I'm going out!"
"yes!"
Huang Tianyan put down the bowl and chopsticks, put the steamed buns into his arms, and then hurriedly followed him inside the camp.
Let's talk about Zhang Ziming and his party. They were sent to the camp, and a place had been cleared in advance to accommodate these people.
"Don't run around and have lunch first!"
Following the shouting of a commander-in-chief, several soldiers immediately carried baskets filled with hot steamed buns.
White-faced steamed buns, this is real white-faced steamed buns, and the people’s eyes suddenly glowed green.
"Don't move around, get in line...or you won't be able to eat!"
Under the scolding of the sergeant, the common people lined up in queue, and no one dared to mess around.
One after another, people received steamed buns, and each person was given a small piece of pickles. All the people's faces were filled with smiles.
But these have nothing to do with Zhang Ziming. At this moment, he is tied to the pillar, all because of his identity.
He was a member of the Ming army and could be regarded as the leader of the bandit army. Such a person was naturally guilty, so how could he be made comfortable?
Huang Tianyan arrived at the resettlement area and saw Zhang Ziming who was tied up at a glance.
Arriving in front of the general flag in charge of the defense, Huang Tianyan asked in a low voice: "Brother, what happened to that man?"
"This person is from Qianhu, a bandit army. After being captured in the next step, he was specially sent here to be questioned by the prince himself!"
Huang Tianyan nodded and said with a smile: "It's rare to see a bandit army with thousands of households... Shall I go in and have a look?"
"What's there to see? If you don't carry a head on two shoulders, your head might fall off in the afternoon!"
"You don't have to watch it if you die, brother... let me go and have a look?" Huang Tianyan chuckled.
After all, we are both the commander-in-chief, so we still have to give him a little face. The commander-in-chief on duty waved his hand and said: "Go ahead, go ahead!"
"Thank you brother!"
After thanking him, Huang Tianyan slowly walked into the resettlement area. Only a few people glanced at him, and the others were focused on eating.
When they walked up to Zhang Ziming, their eyes had already met.
"What, are you kidding me?" Zhang Ziming smiled.
"You say that, and I feel very uncomfortable. Do you think... I am such a villain?" Huang Tianyan's eyes were blazing.
Seeing that he was serious, Zhang Ziming suppressed his smile and said immediately: "I don't regret it!"
"You won't regret it even if you die?" Huang Tianyan asked back.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Huang Tianyan continued: "The prince may want to see you later, and maybe this will be the last time you and I see each other!"
Zhang Ziming still didn't speak. Most people would find it difficult to maintain his composure when they heard that he was going to die.
At this moment, Huang Tianyan felt quite resentful that iron could not become steel, so he said: "I have a way to make you survive!"
Hearing this, Zhang Ziming laughed and said, "Just you?"
Through the conversation between Huang Tianyan and the commander-in-chief on duty just now, Zhang Ziming knew that his military rank was not high, so why could he save him?
