(Thanks to Qingfeng Qinyuan for his reward, thank you!)
The sound of thunderous hooves shook the dark night to shivering.
Luo Cheng leaned on the ground with a knife, gasping heavily.
The gray morning light had already tore through the sound of hooves and sprinkled through the gaps of branches and leaves on the forest.
He raised his head and looked into the distance.
Fully armed and wearing blue thighs, the soldiers of Qi County were rushing towards him. Among the troops of the county soldiers, there were also cavalrymen in the county magistrates wearing bright red cloaks. They either raised their swords and slashed, or rode horses and spears to assassinate them. The bandits who stood in front of them fell to the ground one after another.
Luo Cheng saw Wang Bo running north with more than thirty riders in a mess. They rode fast horses through the trees in the forest and ran like rabbits.
He also saw Lao Zhao's head, rode his horse and waved a garlic hammer, and smashed the head of a thief.
The bandits are like dogs who are stranded, and they are in a panic.
When more bandits found that there was no way out, they began to kneel down and beg for mercy!
Can't run anymore.
Luo Cheng felt that after stopping, he would never move his legs again.
I fought on the mountain for a night last night, and then chased me all the way, chasing from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, for at least twenty miles.
"Xiao Wu, I can't run anymore. Damn, Wang Bo can't catch it. It's a pity that a big fish. When I see my hand, I'm almost a little bit!"
Luo Si lay directly on the ground, spitting out a long piece of his tongue.
Xiao Liu was quite calm, but before Luo Cheng and Lao Si left, he stood firmly beside the two of them, holding the mixed copper eight-edged golden cudgel in his hand to guard like a Vajra.
Morning haze.
Zhang Xutuo rode his horse with more than ten cavalry guards, and he saw Luo Chengle stopping his horse.
"Wang Bo ran away again?" Zhang Xutuo asked with a smile.
"It's right in front. Whether we can catch it depends on the county magistrate. We are not able to do it anymore, our lungs are almost running out."
A team track, "People's deputy Luo is really fierce. I asked you to reconnaissance the terrain, but the twelve people broke the camp of hundreds of people! Awesome!"
As he said that, he looked at Luo Si on the ground again, "Your brother is worse than you."
Luo Si rolled his eyes unconvincedly, "Who are you talking about? You have the ability to come out to practice!"
"After a good rest, Wang Bo will hand it over to others. This time you have made another great contribution, and I will remember it. I will ask for me one by one." After saying that, Zhang Xutuo said again, "By the way, congratulations, you have rescued your brothers intact!"
"Thank you!"
Zhang Xutuo rode his horse with his troops.
"We have made such a great contribution, and we have just sent it to each other for a few words?" The fourth brother sat up dissatisfied and said to Luo Cheng to Zhang Xutuo who was leaving.
"What else do you want to do? It would be against military law if you act recklessly, and it would not be an exaggeration to cut you off."
"We have made great contributions, even though we failed that day, we also cut down more than ten thieves. Last night, if we hadn't helped, how could you have attacked the thief village? How could we have made more contributions than sins?"
"Save this to wait until now."
Luo Cheng simply lay back and rested on this battlefield.
For him, the bandit suppression was over. Whether Wang Bo and Wang Bo Dang could be captured was Zhang Xutuo's business. Even how many bandits could be caught was no longer his business.
A little dizzy.
The sky is so blue.
The sun breaks through the cover of the clouds, and rays of golden light shine under the shadows.
"Xiao Wu, I want to have barbecue."
"Fifth brother, I want to eat too."
Xiao Si patted his stomach and shouted, "Damn, I've been locked up for two days and hungry for two days. I haven't gotten in water. I've fought with you all night last night. I really have no strength to lie down."
"Where can I get the meat from this? " Luo Cheng snorted, still not wanting to move.
"Now I can eat even if I cut off the thief's legs!" said the fourth brother again.
After lying down for a cup of tea, I finally felt more comfortable.
The sweat on my body had subsided, and when the wind blew, I felt a little trembling.
"Brother, I'll burn the fire."
Seeing this, Xiao Liu took the initiative to pick up firewood and burn the fire.
Lao Jia came over at some point.
"Damn, I'm starving to death."
He took off the iron helmet on his head and put it on the fire, "Boil some water and cook some meat."
I don’t know where he took out a piece of black and hard jerky meat from like a variety of things, and I couldn’t tell what kind of meat it was.
“Where did it come from?”
"I was in the village last night."
Luo Cheng smiled, "Do you veterans who have followed the county magistrate have unique characteristics? You can chop and kill on the battlefield and eat and drink at the same time?"
"Why not? War is not about playing. Sometimes you don't know how many days, nights, or months, or years to fight. So, you have to maintain your energy and seize every opportunity to fill your stomach. Not to mention that there is ready-made meat on the battlefield and the rice must be smooth, even if there is no, you have to take a break from your busy schedule to catch some mice, snakes and eat them. If you really don't have anything to eat, then you have to eat a few bites of wild vegetable bark or even dead human flesh."
He said this casually, but Luo Cheng felt chill in his heart when he heard it.
There were not many cannibalized troops in history, and there were frequent sieges in the city, but he was indeed unable to do what they were doing, and he could solve the problem of food while fighting.
Dried dried meat was tossed in water and cooked without seasoning.
Lao Jia took out a piece of black and sour cloth like a variety of patterns, cut off a small piece with a knife and threw it in and cook it.
"What are you doing?"
Luo Cheng couldn't stop him and could only ask, and he was hungry for a long time and wanted to eat the meat in a piece.
"You guy knows nothing. This is a vinegar cloth, a cloth boiled with vinegar and salt water. The soldiers on the front line went to war and it was inconvenient to carry seasonings. This is how to eat it. Each person gave a piece of vinegar cloth. When they were eating, they cut it down and threw it into the military rations to cook together. When they were eaten, they would have salt, vinegar and flavor."
There are vinegar cloths, salt cloths, and some even salt and vinegar cloths.
Old Jia was used to it, but Luo Cheng only stared at the black cloth rolling in the water, watching the continuous dissolution of a lot of black materials, almost disgusting.
As he was talking, Qin Qiong came over and threw a cloth bag over.
"Eat some dry food."
Luo Cheng opened it, but saw that there were bags of steamed cakes inside.
"Thank you, second brother." Luo Cheng felt very grateful if he didn't have to eat the black vinegar and salt cloth to cook the black jerky meat.
I picked up a steamed cake and ate one in three bites.
When the fourth brother saw that there was something to eat, he immediately jumped up, grabbed three with one hand, and went to the other side to eat them.
"After eating steamed cakes, fill your stomach first."
Luo Cheng stuffed the second one into his mouth, and then lifted the bag in front of Xiao Liu and the others.
After distributing the steamed cake, Luo Cheng walked to Qin Qiong with a steamed cake in one hand and sat down.
"Second brother, are you injured?"
"It's just some skin trauma. There is no way to bleed when fighting. Even if you are bleeding during training, it's common to get hurt." Qin Qiong looked at his wound and said disregardlessly.
"Second brother, you can't be careless. If the wound is not treated properly, it is easy to get infected and inflamed... No, it is easy to invade wind evil. I'll help you deal with it."
