When the morning sun shone again at the white white area in the snow, Zhu Cun, who was the general of the Huainan Counterattack Army in Taiping Army, also had breakfast and food with his soldiers while shouting the hot heads. This is also the wartime habits and traditions that the Grand Governor has taken the lead since he was still in charge of the Nufeng Camp. Now it has been maintained and implemented by most generals.

Therefore, he would randomly choose a team below the team every now and then, eat with them, stir out the same food, sing the same before and after meals, and then check the behavior for a while. This is not only a kind of morale-enhancing and closeness, but also a sympathetic attitude to the soldiers; it also shows a basic attitude of understanding ordinary soldiers at any time.

Instead of sitting high in the tent, relying on the layers of hand-written content from other people's reports and rewards to grasp the basic situation in an army; often by alarming the commander, the situation is already very serious, or it is out of control and has to take strict or fierce measures.

In a sense, such a poor communication between the upper and lower levels in the army gave too much centralized management, such as clerks, assistants and subordinates, taking advantage of the situation or pretending to be powerful, so as to punish selfish desires and lose control of the true love. In the long run, this is also the long-term bad habits and bad habits of traditional government troops who repeatedly defeated the superiors and killed the generals and passed the generals.

Therefore, as the Taiping Army who is determined to remove the evil and seek new things, it is emphasized and left a routine window for soldiers to face the commander in the military orders and instructions. Of course, under the urgency of the Taiping Army, there are no greedy and fraudulent things, but as a situation of slackness and negligence that inevitably occurs within a huge organization, it also needs to be deterred and encouraged to drive.

Just like today's breakfast food supply, it is the flax cakes pasted in the iron barrel oven, crispy meat rolls fried with oil, pickled vegetables, oil residue and soy sauce, and the soldiers who directly fight for the service will even get a canned meat. It is not the kind of ginseng with a lot of bean flour, gluten, pig, cow, and sheep blood, or the meat with not much good meat, but canned beef that is actually stewed.

That's right, canned beef is not a canned piece of food in the name of meat. Originally, in this era, scalpers and buffaloes, as important production tools and components of family property, were not the objects of slaughter and feeding. Even officials and wealthy families, if they want to eat beef, had to create various excuses for death, falling, and old age.

However, since the Taiping Army established a stable territory and the rear, many breeding farms have been established in Lingxi (now most of Guangxi), Annan (north Vietnam), Hunan and other places, including the main breeding industry, and one of the large heads is to gradually cultivate differentiated cattle, horses, sheep and animal herds for meat and animal use.

As for the feed source, it is through tightening nearby Tunzhuang, and after improving and improving agricultural and forestry production efficiency, a large amount of agricultural and sideline products have been accumulated. After years of breeding, some of the production sites can not only provide fur, horny tendons and meat, but also provide raw milk and its products to a certain extent.

Therefore, under the rule of the Taiping Army, slaughtering and supplying beef in restaurants and stores is no longer a taboo or a secret matter. However, as the region goes up to the north, the cost of beef has increased relatively and is expensive. However, the canned beef products exclusively for the army is obviously an exception.

Because the rear breeding farm and processing factory have a large-scale supply capacity in one-stop, the unit price of this cooked food can on the military supply and marketing trucks will not even be much higher than that of other most common canned pigs and sheep. Therefore, before entering various moats and positions, if you eat half a can of roasted hot beef with sauce, it will be like a hot whole body.

Therefore, in the snow behind the stacked bunkers, some soldiers who had already finished their breakfast meals in turn were even wearing single clothes or shirtless, and were sweating profusely using various equipment; then they wiped their bodies with snowflakes grabbed from the ground as an auxiliary means to cleanse the skin and improve cold resistance.

Zhu Cun couldn't help but smile, poured the canned juice in his hand into a spoonful of thick hot soup, dipped it in the last small piece of veal cake and walked comfortably. Then he suddenly remembered the scene many years ago, which was also similar to the scene in the snow, the first siege battle that his brothers participated in after joining the rebel army.

Just a thin layer of snow fell at night, so many people sleeping in the wilderness had no way to wake up again. Before dark yesterday, my brothers who only ate some soup and porridge were beaten up by each other and slowly woke up. Then the rag peeled off the dead people was wrapped around them in circles, which was the only protective method they could find.

Then, amid the chaotic sounds of various horn drum boards, he held a baffle made of broken wood chips, and rushed forward with the crowd facing the arrows falling from the city like rain. He shouted and rushed forward. The arrows were flying around and the screams and whine of the arrows being caught;

Under the cover of the baffle raised above, he could only see the mud on the ground not far away, and the dying person struggling to fall to the ground with arrows, and struggling hard to cross the body without being tripped; then he stumbled into the moat that was almost piled up by the corpses, and was pushed by the crowd behind him, squeezing under the base of the sand and peeling wall.

At this time, the threat of flying arrows in the air seemed to disappear suddenly, and then it turned into a rolling stone wood that was smashed down by the head. After wave after wave, the crowd gathered under the wall kept making blood-colored gaps of large and small. It was so pitiful. When the people near Zhu Cun were about to die, the back team holding a simple long ladder and hooked hook finally rushed up.

The rebel archers who were indifferent to their arrival were also indifferent to the rebels. Although most of their arrows were blocked by the city plates and scramblers on the wall, they also attracted and dispersed the intensity and direction of the defenders' counterattack. Therefore, under the expectation and longing of these survivors at the base of the wall, with some expectations and longings that they were about to be able to fill their stomachs, they mustered up their courage and strength like ants gathered with rice balls, and climbed upwards.

Zhu Cun, who had fallen twice from the broken long ladder, saved his life because he was placing too many corpses, also pulled an empty cable for the third time, and leaned against the blood-colored wall again; then he was hooked by a sudden slash of hooks;

The random cloth strips penetrated the hook tip without any protection, and they were pulled and hung on the edge of the wall. At that moment, Zhu Cun, who was torn and bleeding, just wanted to fall down and die. However, the next moment, with the instinct for survival burst out, Zhu Cun plucked up his strength to grab the edge of the city disc with his other hand, and dragged the hook with his other hand to pull the other person out and fell in the air, becoming his first win...

When Zhu Cun, covered in blood, gasped and fell behind the battlements, gritted his teeth and endured the severe black pain in front of him. The moment he pulled the hook out of his back, he fainted on the spot. Then, although the city was shot down, he also left behind trauma and trauma that plagued him for the whole winter.

At that time, if his younger brother Zhu San had not insisted on being with him inseparable and insisted on carrying him on his back wherever he went; it was not until the beginning of spring that he found the combined injury medicine and doctors in Songzhou Prefecture, he would have probably turned into many dead bones in a nameless pit.

Just as Zhu Cun recalled the tragic situations he had when he attacked the city in the past, another voice called him back:

"The general, last night, hundreds of abandoned corpses were found in the south and east of the city...

However, he was the commander commander he appointed in the front line. Li Yuyuan, who was originally from the Chaozhou Tuan Group, said in a true voice:

"But it still looks like a death?"

Zhu Cun couldn't help but ask:

"There are still some signs of recent attacks. In addition, by searching for personal belongings and skin marks, we found that there were many generals and students in the school...

Li Yuyuan nodded and said:

"So, has it really changed in the city in the past two days? The counselors and prosecutors that our army projected in for several days have been used to some effect."

Zhu Cun couldn't help but touched his thick-bearded jaw and suddenly said:

"Come, go to the moat to get ice..."

Then several large pieces of frozen ice cubes of varying thickness were presented to Zhu Cun, who turned back into the tent of the high platform; then, under his scabbard, he cracked crisply and soundly into more small pieces. Seeing this, Zhu Cun couldn't help but raise his thick eyebrows and recite:

"Now that we have been practicing and maintaining our health outside Guangling City for so long, it's time to move."

"But please show it!"

The generals who gathered with the classical promotion of the tent could not help but say in unison: Then Zhu Cun walked to the sand table model of Guangling City, sprinkled all the broken ice, and then said to them with full energy:

"Although it is not the best time, it's almost done. If we wait any longer, the city will be covered with ice and snow and frozen, so our guns and cannons will not be so easy to use..."

"After the river was frozen, the places where the navy could send were greatly reduced, which gave them the opportunity to go out of the city to fight... Therefore,"

"At present, it is just that food and equipment are all in hand, the equipment preparation and civil engineering work have reached its fullest, and the soldiers are full of food and practice all day long. Are you willing to follow me to try the enemy in the city?"

Hearing this, the generals present couldn't help but be surprised, and they all showed happy or eager to try, and then they turned into a clamor of vowing to the death.

"Let our army take the lead. The men have been waiting for a long time..."

"Our team is the first choice. Don't compete with me if you want to win..."
