Chapter 110 Killing a Horse (Additional update 12 for the reward of ten thousand swords)
"Lao Hu, we are in trouble now~"
When Hu Biao was in a high-spirited mood, he was standing in front of the suspension bridge at Suifengdun, expecting that every so often, soldiers and civilians would come here to bow to him and win him respect.
I feel that the strength at hand is getting stronger and stronger, and I am more confident about the next tasks.
Suddenly, a head came close to him and suddenly told him the bad news that he was in trouble.
Hu Biao turned his head and saw Shi Langqing. He immediately frowned and asked, "Trouble, what's the trouble?"
After hearing this, Lang Qing smiled bitterly and said:
"Zhang Xiu Niang from the kitchen just came to me to complain, saying that these people are so delicious, as if they haven't eaten in several days.
For example, your little messenger named Li Siping finished two bowls of porridge in one go and left five white-flour steamed buns uneaten. Do you dare to believe this kind of thing?
Anyway, these big-bellied men let go of their bellies and ate and drank.
Of the rice noodles originally prepared by Dunzhong, only a small bag of millet was left, which was reserved for Xie Guangkun to make porridge, and the rest was completely eaten.
But there are still many people waiting outside the kitchen to eat, but there is no rice and noodles for them to eat and drink, let alone the evening meal.
There is still some fodder and black beans, but not to mention the people eating it, what to do with the horses, the food these people have is not enough for one meal."
After hearing such a sentence, Hu Biao's mouth opened wide unconsciously.
Before the last day of the second stage arrived, in order to prevent Suifeng Dun from being trapped by the Tatars, Hu Biao deliberately stocked a large amount of rice noodles in the pier.
Although the quantity was not large, it was enough to feed the twenty or so netizens at that time for half a month.
Who would have thought that the soldiers and civilians who had taken refuge with his brother Hu Biao had not even finished a single meal, and that all the food they had hoarded was now gone.
He knows that these people can eat, but they are not so strong, right?
For this reason, Hu Biao shouted to Suifengdun behind him:
"Feng Rui, come out quickly."
The reason for this was that Fengrui was holding a small notebook and leading Xu Er to count the soldiers and civilians who had come to join them, and how many there were now.
And each person has certain skills, so that they can be placed in the most suitable position.
Now if you ask Fengrui, you will probably know clearly how many people are eating their food.
Soon after, Fengrui appeared in front of Hu Biao with an excited look on his face. Hu Biao couldn't even ask, and he said a series of good news:
"Lao Hu, your name and appeal as 'Brother Hu Biao' are really impressive. Do you know how many people we have on our hands now?"
It seemed that Fengrui was so excited that he was extremely excited.
Hu Biao didn't even need to open his mouth, he was already asking and answering questions in his mouth:
"Let me tell you, there are 367 people in total. Although there are old and young, men, women and children, basically all of them can be used.
After they had eaten their fill, a group of people were now repairing armor and polishing weapons under the command of several craftsmen.
There are also some Orions, and AT is in the process of chatting with them in detail. After the chat is over, AT, who draws design drawings in the modern plane, will be able to draw a relatively complete topographic map.
Based on this terrain map, we can better formulate combat plans.
The most suitable night attack location for this battle, specific operational details, etc. can all be worked out in a timely manner.
There were also some military households who not only brought their weapons and armor, but some also brought gunpowder; although the gunpowder was not much, they produced two more explosive bags.
There are also many three-eyed guns and a few bird guns, and we can even organize a firearms unit.
Anyway, after they join us, we will be more confident in completing the final task of the system."
When he said this, Feng Rui, who was in a very excited mood, came to his senses.
He asked: "By the way! What do you want from me?"
"It's okay, I'm just wondering if you are still injured. You must pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Although tasks and work are important, you must also pay attention to your body and don't collapse from exhaustion. The team also needs you."
After hearing such a question, Hu Biao immediately started talking nonsense like this.
I just skipped the initial matter of calling Fengrui over to discuss how to save food.
That's right! There are so many people who come to seek refuge with his brother Hu Biao, and every one of them does not know how to get free food, so they try their best to exert their own strength.
In the time to come, I will have to fight hard with him.
The emperor does not send bad soldiers, so he saves a woolen thread of food for everyone to continue to eat.
Even if Hu Biao’s ribs were broken and stewed in soup, he still had to make sure everyone was full and well-fed, and then went to make tartar together.
"What the hell! I'm just talking about these dry yarns for no reason, but thank you~" Fengrui was immediately confused by Hu Biao's unprecedented concern, which was called a strong discomfort.
Finally, after holding back the above sentence, he cursed and left...
*******
After watching Fengrui leave, his face had already turned a pig liver color and he cursed:
"Damn it! Old Hu, you are totally a dog-faced guy, you can change at any given moment.
The problem is that after adding us, there are now about 400 people here in Suifengdun. Now that we have money, there is probably no place to buy food. What should we do?
Even if you kill more than 100 kilograms of meat to make soup, it won't be enough for everyone to have a meal."
Fortunately, before taking Fengrui away, Hu Biao actually had an idea in mind.
After lowering his voice, he explained to Lang Qing:
"When there is no food, we will kill the horses for meat. We will first kill the pack horses and donkeys in the stables. If there is not enough, we will kill the war horses captured from the Tatars."
Anyway, for me, this is a one-shot deal. In order to kill the Tatars and save the people, we will risk everything."
After hearing this, Lang Qing instinctively wanted to object.
The specific reason is that after the war horses captured from the Tatars came back, they, the veterans and other main combat forces, were all assigned one.
According to information found in some online articles, they wanted to develop a tacit understanding with their respective mounts as quickly as possible.
Then treat these war horses as treasures. Whenever you have some free time, you can feed them with your own hands, brush their bodies, etc.
It was in the middle of the night, the time when they usually slept the most soundly.
I didn’t forget to get up, and with my face full of eye guano, I went to feed the horse once.
After almost a week, I don’t know whether the relationship between the horse and them has been developed, but the relationship between them and the horse is already quite good.
Lang Qing even gave his big green horse the name "Saihu", and the precious horse was called "Saihu" every day.
For a moment, when he was faced with Hu Biao's decision to kill the horse, his first reaction was that he couldn't and was completely reluctant to do so.
But when I thought about the people who were kidnapped by the Tatars, I thought that so many human lives seemed more important than the lives of a few horses.
Finally, he closed his mouth, said nothing, didn't want to say anything, turned around and walked towards the stable in Dunzhong...
