Chapter 349 (1/2)

The fire raised the morale of Changsheng camp's children, but at the same time it destroyed the main force of the later Jin Dynasty.

Starting in the afternoon, their camp retreated back more than a mile, opening a distance of more than three miles from the city of the Ming army, leaving only this continuous group of fortifications between the two armies.

Perhaps he was afraid that Li Yuanqing would take the initiative to attack. On the part of the latter Jin army, there were thousands of sentries, who were closely monitoring the movements of the Ming army, but they would never dare to challenge them again.

Li Yuanqing was basically satisfied with the attitude of the main force of the later Jin Dynasty.

Although he won the battle, but for various reasons, Li Yuanqing can defend the city. If he wants to attack and defeat the main force of Houjin from the front, he thinks too much.

But this is what Li Yuanqing wants.

From the end of September to now, nearly half a year has passed, and the children are tired.

War has always been a continuation of politics.

For Li Yuanqing, the purpose he wanted was basically achieved.

Although the horses have not met his needs, the 3000 horses are enough for him to deal with sun Chengzong and Mao Wenlong.

In addition, many kinds of goods, especially weapons and armor, have been recorded in the accounts, and the children have not suffered much casualties. As long as they go back to Changsheng island to recuperate for a few months, Li Yuanqing's strength will certainly increase rapidly.

On the one hand, Li Yuanqing did not dare to guard against the general situation.

The refining of livestock oil, the collection and cutting of resin and wood, and the packaging and development of hand grenades will never stop.

As the old saying goes, ”if you are prepared, you will not suffer.”.

Only by holding on to the fruits of these victories and bringing them back to Changsheng Island, can they be regarded as real victories.

Otherwise, it's just ”once owned”, which is nothing more than a mirror image.

In terms of food supply, due to the continuous fierce battle in recent days, both shuluohuan and tribal minions, women's camp and children's gang in the long-term camp have increased a lot and consumed a lot.

According to Xu sunspot's prediction, if the situation goes on like this, their food will only last less than four months.

Li Yuanqing is not too worried about this.

It was mid February.

According to the time estimate, the ice and snow will melt in late May and early June at the latest.

They have enough time.

Even if the fleet can not enter here, but there are so many fortresses around, and the children are strong and strong, can they still starve to death?

At the critical time, the 3000 horses will be able to support food for several months.

However, although there is no big problem in food, Li Yuanqing is very worried about nutrition.

The main reason is that at this time of year, there are basically no vegetables to grow here. Whether it's Erlang or Li Yuanqing, they can only eat meat. In the long run, the nutrition is not balanced and it's easy to cause big trouble.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing did not have a good solution. He could not force children to eat pine needles?

Thinking of pine needles, Li Yuanqing's eyes suddenly brightened.

Although pine needles can't be eaten directly, it's not a big problem to make tea.

In Li Yuanqing's memory, in later generations, a famous survival expert in the British Empire once emphasized the idea of ”pine needle tea”.

Making tea with pine needles is simple and affordable, but it contains enough vitamins. Especially in Beidi, which is almost natural and pollution-free, the effect should be better than that of later generations.

Thinking, Li Yuanqing immediately attracted Shu LUOHUAN and asked him to take his minions to collect pine needles outside.

Soon, shuluohuan came back with his servants and collected fresh pine needles.

Let Liu Qiao brew a bowl of tea, Li Yuanqing tasted it, the taste is not bad, although some green, but the long lost green taste, still let people relaxed and happy.

Even if Li Yuanqing extended this dish to the whole army, every meal and every child must drink a cup of pine needle tea.

……

Time flies, blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, time has come to the end of March.

During this period of time, the main force of the later Jin Dynasty did not make much movement. In the camp more than three miles away, it confronted the Ming army on Li Yuanqing's side. Hundreds of scouts were scattered in the middle of the two army camps, closely monitoring the movements of the Ming army.

After the Jin army does not attack, Li Yuanqing naturally will not go to their trouble.

At this time, the city's storage of kerosene has reached more than 20000 Jin, and there are more than 500 grenades.

As long as Tartars dare to attack the city, Li Yuanqing will surely let them understand why the flowers are so red.

After entering the middle of March, the weather has begun to show signs of warming.

Although from time to time there will be a few snow, but not too much, will not cause disaster like impact.

However, the wind is still very strong, very cold, and correspondingly, the consumption of wood in the city is also very large.At the north gate, including the west gate, the old woods nearby have been basically cut down by shuluohuan and the clan slaves.

In order to ensure the safety of harvesting and cutting timber, continuous snow walls have been piled up outside the north gate and the west gate, extending to the foot of the mountain a few miles away.

But after the Jin army did not launch an attack on this side, everything was in an orderly state.

After the Jin army did not attack, Li Yuanqing simply trained in the city.

In terms of practice, Changsheng camp has long formed a complete set of rules and procedures.

Every morning at the beginning of Mao, about 5:30, children get up and start running.
