Chapter 54 A Sneak Attack
Chapter 54 A Sneak Attack
In the army, due to the garrison of the march, the rear grain and fodder are sometimes not available. At this time, the barracks will try their best to find everything to eat. For example, turf, war horses, bark, wild fruits, or easier to store, etc.
Sometimes when there is no meat and vegetables, we will cook some beans. One is that beans are nutritious, and the second is that it is hunger-resistant.
Among them, black beans are warp.
Black beans are the black seeds of soybeans. Also known as black bean, it tastes sweet and flat. Black beans are high in protein and low in calories. It is rich in nutrition and contains protein, fat, vitamins, trace elements and other nutrients. At the same time, it also has a variety of bioactive substances, such as black bean pigment, black bean polysaccharide and isoflavones.
In addition, black beans are not as valuable as soybeans. They can grind tofu. They are usually crushed and fed to livestock.
For people who march and fight all year round and don't eat well, this is also a nutrient.
I don't know why the bosses in the barracks always like to fry black beans. Yan Zhen can't eat it every time. Yan Zhen really doesn't like to eat these things, not dislike them. Although there is a lot of dislike.
There is no other reason, just because the food Yan has been delicious since she was a child, and she doesn't care about black beans. However, if they want to enter the camp now, they can only eat whatever they cook.
What's more, Yan Chan can't eat the original beans, and he always feels a strange smell. Maybe there is such a faint fishy smell.
But for people in the barracks, some people eat better than hungry. Naturally, they don't care too much, and sometimes they will grab it to eat.
Every time he stir-fry black beans, Yan Cheng will always not eat them. He secretly puts them into his small bag and accumulates more. Over time, the bag containing beans will also be full.
Finally, one day, the small bag was almost full. In fact, it is a small bag, and it is not small. This bag is enough to put down seven or eight pieces of clothes. Although the clothes are not very heavy, they at least take up space.
A bag full of black beans is still a little heavy in his hand. She could only drag the bag slowly. She was obviously going to do something bad.
Every time the head man can give her one more black bean, knowing that she doesn't like it, it will be more as usual every time. The beautiful name said: "In the army, Yan Xiaochen is the thinnest. Eat some black beans to nourish your body and grow well in the future."
That's right, and it makes sense. Yan Cian is always a girl. Eating some is also a beauty.
However, Yan Chen just doesn't like it. She doesn't like it anyway.
Taking advantage of the dark night, the moon is dark and the wind is high. It's a murderous night, but she pours beans.
In fact, she has only tasted one bean. The head chef is good at cooking, and the black bean is fragrant in her mouth. There are many people who like to eat in the barracks. Many people specially asked the head man to stir-fry some salt and eat it as a snack.
During the time of speaking, Yan Cheng had dragged the small bag to the upper corner of the tower, and then opened the bag and sprinkled it under the tower.
This is the black bean just fried today, and there is still three points of residual heat.
Yan Cheng just sprinkled the black beans down the city with two or three handfuls. He didn't know that the wind was blowing there. Anyway, it was a joy.
Just as Yan was excited, suddenly there was a shout from the right: "Hey, who's there and what's going on?"
This shout doesn't matter. Yan Cen is guilty. He dares not look up, dares not stop, and speed up to sprinkle black beans.
"Who are you talking about?"
Listening to the voice on the right getting closer and closer, Yan Jin couldn't wait to pick up the bag and fall down, but not much. Her position was too corner, and below was the sentry post. If she fell down directly, she must have hit the sentry.
However, the sound suddenly stopped ten steps away.
There was no sound this time, and Yan Chan was also puzzled. Didn't he be found? Or are they preparing to take the stolen goods? Yan Cen was so scared that he was not annoyed.
Yan Qian raised his head and found that the soldiers ten steps away looked at the front, as if confirming something.
In a short time, the answer became clear.
He shouted at the back and shouted, "Hurry up and invite Vice Admiral Qin. The enemy sent a small group of cavalry in front of the gate, as if they were ready to enter the city for a sneak attack!"
The person who heard this heard it and immediately ran to invite the lieutenant general. It was not long after the trot, but there were many noisy voices, and the footsteps were frequently confused.
At this time, Yan Xin still had the last handful of black beans left. He didn't care much. He directly picked up the bag and sprinkled it directly, regardless of whether he would hit the sentry. She shook twice and made sure that she didn't leave a single bean. Then she quickly took the bag and squeezed into the corner for fear that Xiaowu would see her doing something bad.
Xiaowu stepped forward, crossed the last level of the city wall, looked at the front, and immediately made a deployment: "Immediately write to General Yan at Guan Gukou to report the situation and let them be on alert immediately. We will see the situation here and be ready to attack at any time. Everyone is on standby!"
In a word, it is powerful, concise and clear, and all the commands are in place.
But just as the whole army is on standby and ready to prevent the enemy from sneak attack, someone found a strange thing with a sharp eye.
That is, the enemy's horses bowed their heads and ate something under the wall and refused to go to other places. It was not one or two like this, but the cavalry that came to sneak up. All the horses were like this.
Xiaowu was not sure whether the enemy wanted to cheat, and he didn't know what was going on for a while, so he gave instructions: "Let's wait and see!"
But in the end, there are still people who can't stand such a quiet atmosphere. They take out the small purse they carry with them, dig two salt and black beans, and put them in their mouths.
Xiaowu was worthy of being a deputy general, and he immediately saw the clue.
The horses under the city were buried in the food they ate. It seemed to be the same smell, so he said, "Is it the smell of black beans we eat?"
This question immediately got a response from several people around him. So Xiaowu ordered, "The arrow is drenched with oil to light the fire and shoot the horse below."
Then in an instant, the archers immediately lined up, and all the ignited feathers and arrows flew away under the wall.
The enemy had not yet understood what was going on with the horses, but they suddenly saw the fire of the city wall soaring into the sky, and the feathers and arrows with fire kept flying towards him. They thought that the sneak attack plan had been revealed, and the flying arrows frightened the horse. So the people on the horse could only pull the horse directly and run back.
It seems that the first half of the night is a false alarm. However, the enemy frightened the snake like this, and naturally did not dare to do anything more. I'm afraid of being waiting for the rabbit by Xiaowu.
With this mid-night shock, naturally no one in the barracks can sleep at ease, so they are all on standby in high spirits. They are simply on alert and have nothing else to do, so they are huddled together in groups, bragging and avoiding meat and vegetables.
Yan Cheng has just experienced an unsuccessful battle. After standing for a long time, her feet trembled a little. Fortunately, others did not succeed in the sneak attack, otherwise her life would have been explained here tonight. Just as he was about to go back, he went down to the tower, but he didn't think about it. He was seen by Xiaowu with sharp eyes. He grabbed her and told her not to move.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you grind the medicine with the doctor?" As soon as Xiaowu opened his mouth, he raised questions.
Yes, usually at night, Xiaowu does not let Yan Chan run around, but he is afraid that in case the enemy sneaks up, they can retreat first as logistics and seek the protection of the army in the direction of Guangukou.
"I, I, oops, today the old doctor said that there is no need to grind medicine. I, I, just walk casually, casually, hehe." Yan Cheng's eyes looked around and explained with a guilty heart.
Xiaowu looked at Yan Zhen's eyes and shook his eyes. He didn't dare to look at himself. He looked down and found that Yan Zhen was holding a small bag in his hand. As soon as he tried hard, the bag fell into his hand. He raised it and looked carefully at the firelight. There was nothing special, but there was a burst of fragrance at the mouth of the bag. This fragrance was the fragrance of stir-fried black beans. After so many years in the army, this taste is naturally familiar.
Xiaowu looked at the bag and then at Yan Chan. He carried her clothes to the back of the collar, just like a chicken, and took her to the tent. The old doctor, the leader and others who heard the news entered Xiaowu's tent together.
In front of everyone, Yan Zhong can only explain the beginning and end. The head man was angry with her cheeks: "Ignorant child, such a good thing has been ruined by you. It's a waste of my good intentions, you old man."
Everyone's heart was as bright as a mirror, and this group of leaders was angry by Yan Tian's behavior.
Listening to Yan's words, combined with Xiaowu's description, the military division gave everyone an explanation, that is, the war is tight now. Although the enemy does not dare to attack, the supply of food and fodder in the rear is insufficient, and they will want to enter some food on the wall, so that they can wait for the food supply in the rear.
Coincidentally, Yan Qian climbed up the wall and sprinkled black beans today. For the hungry war horse, this fragrant black bean is not the best food, so he naturally bowed his head and ate the black beans without the intention to fight.
So when under the command of the feather arrow, the war horse will be frightened and run around.
Although Yan Chan's act of pouring beans is a shameful waste of food, for the food that cannot be wasted in the barracks, this matter should be investigated, and those who should be punished should be punished.
But today's attempted sneak attack also made Yan Chan crooked, which is also a contribution.
Yan Chan was doing something wrong at this time. He lowered his head and silently praised the military division in his heart. Speaking of this old man of the military division, Yan Qian has never seen him many times. He heard that he has been in the rear army. Today, he happened to be lucky. A few days ago, he went to the small gate to explain Yan Da's orders and deployment, and came to check the barracks by the way.
Since then, many people present recalled that today's situation made them laugh one after another. They applauded Yan Cen's black beans, so that Yan Valve knew that Yan Cen had been in the barracks for nearly two years, but they didn't know it. It was time to be angry.
