Chapter 862 Killing Horses for Food
In order to successfully break through, the Wang family did fight. Even the treasures that Wang Ling regarded as treasures were carried by Wang Feixiao to the army and became resources to reward the three armies.
Although these treasures are valuable, they are difficult to arouse the desire of Huainan soldiers. When people are hungry, no matter how precious gold and silver treasures are, they may not be as affordable as a roast chicken. These Huainan soldiers have been hungry for a long time and are listless. Even if Wang Feixiao repeatedly encourages them, they still lack interest.
Wang Jinhu couldn't help but frown and whispered to Wang Feixiao: "Second brother, it seems that this method is not good. Such expensive gold, silver and jewelry cannot touch people's hearts. We have to think of another way."
Wang Feixiao looked at the gold, silver and jewelry in his hand, and then the Huainan soldiers who were in a daze, and suddenly realized that in the eyes of a group of hungry ghosts, of course, food is more important than gold and silver. If they could give them a delicious stew at this time, they could maximize their fighting spirit.
However, in a blink of an eye, Wang Feixiao was worried again. In Shouchun City, there was a shortage of food, let alone eating meat, and even a mouse was hard to find.
The only way to solve this dilemma is to kill the horse. The cavalry has always been the most powerful force in the Huainan Army. No matter how difficult the situation is, Wang Ling is reluctant to kill the horse.
In fact, whether to kill horses or not can change the situation at all. Even if you kill all the horses, it will only be enough for these tens of thousands of troops to fight for a few days. To fundamentally solve the problem of food shortage, these horses alone are far from enough.
But the situation is different now. At this moment, all we need to break through the battlefield is to make one move. Only by letting these soldiers eat well can they have the fighting spirit to participate in the battle. These war horses have undoubtedly become the only way to save them.
But these war horses are Wang Ling's treasures. If they are killed, it would be strange if Wang Ling is not heartbroken. Wang Feixiao thought about it and decided to seek Wang Ling's opinion. If he is willing to kill, Wang Feixiao would dare to take action.
However, Wang Feixiao was not convenient to leave on this occasion, so he had to send a confidant to meet Wang Ling.
The subordinates hurried away and soon returned, holding Wang Ling's order in his hand, with only one word on it: "Ke"!
Wang Feixiao was immediately excited. As long as Wang Ling agreed, it would be easy to deal with. Now that he has reached this point, even if Wang Ling is reluctant to leave, he must give up his love. Everything needs to be broken through to make way.
Breakthrough is already the only way out before them. Nothing is more important than this. Of course, Wang Ling knows what priorities are.
Of course, Wang Feixiao did not slaughter all the war horses, but chose hundreds of thinner and older war horses to slaughter them.
However, this is obviously a bit difficult for the generals to be selected. The Huainan soldiers were all hungry and thin. Naturally, these war horses were not better. They were all skinny and skinny. After picking them up, they found that there were really few left.
The process of killing horses is quite fast. I guess these butchers are also greedy. They have not eaten meat for many days. If they weren't staring at them, these butchers could cut off the raw meat and stuff it into their mouths.
After setting up a big pot of marching, Wang Feixiao ordered the soldiers to smuggle the house. Anyway, they were all ready to break through and could not take the house away, so they didn't feel sorry for demolishing it.
Wang Feixiao set the time for breaking through the 5th update, so the time for cooking these horse meat was about 4th update in the morning. At this time, it was probably the time when these soldiers slept the most. But today, they were all energetic. They surrounded the edge of the marching pot. Just smelling the intoxicating smell of meat, they couldn't walk.
Hundreds of horses seemed to be quite a lot, but if tens of thousands of Huainan soldiers came to share the food, each person would not have a few bites. In order to ensure that every soldier could eat meat and drink soup, Wang Feixiao ordered the chefs in the army to carefully divide the horse meat into pieces of meat of equal size, each person had a large bowl, and put the soup and meat on it. The Huainan soldiers lined up to collect it, and at the same time gave each person a dry noodles, so that they could have enough food and drink to fight.
Huainan soldiers lined up in a long queue, one by one, and went up to the ground to receive the broth. The sound of gurgling sounds came one after another. Many people were so hungry that they fell to the ground. Because the queue was very long, many people's eyes were green, and waiting for this stuttering was thirsty.
Once you hold the wooden bowl in your hand, regardless of whether it is hot or not, you use your hands to pick up the meat pieces in the bowl and stuff them directly into your mouth.
The meat cut by the chef is neither big nor small, each piece weighs about two or three taels. The meat piece of this size tastes particularly satisfying. However, the horse meat that has just been out of the pot is very hot, and many people are so hot that they are sucked away, but no one is willing to spit it out, so they can only swallow it voraciously.
The hot pieces of meat were eaten into the stomach, and it was burning. Many people couldn't help but vent their breath, but they couldn't help but eat the second piece.
There are only about two or three pieces of meat in each bowl. Many people have not yet made the meat smell, and only some soup and water are left in the bowl. However, drinking a sip of broth and a bite of dry noodles at this time is also a supreme enjoyment.
This meal was probably the best and most full time for the Huainan Army in the past few months. In order to allow these soldiers to have a full meal, Wang Feixiao specially ordered the quota of food to double the size of the food, so that the chef could pan dry noodles into twice the size, which was equivalent to eating double portions of food at once.
The next step was the most cruel and fierce breakthrough battle. He had the strength to fight without eating enough. Wang Feixiao knew this truth well, so he spared no effort to kill the horse to give the Huainan army a tooth sacrifice.
After a full meal, the mental outlook of the Huainan Army has indeed changed greatly. The long-lost morale seemed to have returned, and they were all full of energy and high fighting spirit.
Wang Feixiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now the state of the Huainan Army has finally returned to normal, which undoubtedly provides confidence and support for the breakout battle. If it were in the previous sluggish state, Wang Feixiao would doubt whether he could break out.
It seems that this man is iron and food is steel. If he doesn't eat, he doesn't have the energy. Now that the state of the Huainan Army has improved, Wang Feixiao has also increased his confidence. As long as he can break through, they still have hope.
After dinner, Wang Feixiao ordered the army to gather. At this time, the skylight in the east was already slightly bright. Wang Feixiao ordered the city gate to be opened. He and Wang Jinhu each led a group of people and rushed out of Shouchun City like a tide and launched an attack on the Sima Army's position in the south.
The Huainan Army's breakthrough battle officially kicked off.
