C590 Lunch on the Battlefield (1/2)
Maylor had gotten really impatient today. He, who was anxious to keep his life, had long forgotten that he was already a loner, and in this troop of ten thousand people, there was no direct army of his.
Although the army that had attacked the Tanggu before wasn't brought out by Maylor, at the very least, the army's command system was still under his command. Those collar s, Divisions, Lieutenant General, General s, Total s, Chief Qian, Dusi, Garrison … All of these were brought out by him with money.
It was this command system that allowed an army to fight according to the wishes of their commander, and now! From the troops that were stationed at Beijing, Ci Xi had assembled such a complex medallion, and there were even many lords and soldiers with eight flags inside. How was Maylor supposed to command them?
After running for a whole night, the eight banner ancestors were already as tired as a dog. In addition to the heavy rain pouring down on them, they were both cold and hungry. Their hearts were filled with evil flames.
If Maylor jumped out now, he would be courting death, this group of Eight Flag Masters all flocked forward to punch and kick him, causing Maylor to roll in the quagmire like an old sow and moan in pain.
”Stop fighting …” For the sake of their relationship with the eight flags, these men decided to stop fighting … Eunuch An, save me! Eunuch An, save me! ”
At this time, An Dehai was wearing two layers of fur clothing, two layers of oilskin cloaks, and a straw cape and bamboo hat on the outside. He was so armed that he was trembling on his horse.
The eunuchs were all incomplete men, they didn't even have enough yang energy from their children, and that would be unbearable in winter and rainy weather. Especially today's heavy rain, An Dehai couldn't endure it any longer, and even his lips had turned purple.
”Should... Serves him right! If you didn't lose the war in Tanggu, why would I, a mere commoner, have to suffer such a heinous crime? I'll give you a good beating so that you'll remember better! ” An Dehai said with a sullen face to the Ministry of Internal Affairs managers around him.
”Yes, yes, yes. The Head Supervisor is right. This son of a b * tch really did take care of things in a short period of time …” It's good to teach him a lesson! ”
”But, Head Supervisor, in a moment of war, he's going to have to put his life on the line. Don't you think it would be better to make him pay for his crimes?”
An Dehai thought for a while, ”Alright, go, give him a chance to put his life on the line … F * ck, why do I have to worry about all sorts of things? It's really a bad new year.
Most people could not care about the Baji in the capital, but Ministry of Internal Affairs was an exception. The only one in charge of this place was the Baji, as well as the ones controlling the money, food, and chores of these hedonists.
However, the group of soldiers were still talking endlessly, ”We, the elders, will definitely give everyone face. However, we've been running for an entire night now, and there's not even a stammer. The emperor isn't short of hungry soldiers!”
”That's right, that's right. My stomach is filled to the brim with rainwater. Even if we fight, it would just be death. If there's nothing to eat, we won't leave …”
Everyone was afraid that things might start out like this. One of the underlings who was causing trouble started to stir up trouble. At this moment, the seemingly endless dead snakes started to stir restlessly.
”What a sin, what have I done in my previous life …” ”Normally, this would be the time to eat big meat buns as soon as possible. I was really unlucky, so I had to be greedy for that bit of silver …”
”A silver that can only run for ten taels of silver in one night, if I were to casually push two tokens around the Six Paths Workshop, I would still get a hundred and eighty taels of silver …” 'F * ck, there's quite a lot of oil on the floor. How could I be covered with lard … '
”Go on, whoever is the best, give me a shot. I will give my most beloved concubine to someone else to sleep with …” ”Come on, let's drink …”
An Dehai looked at the bunch of demons and demons, and his heart was filled with anger. ”What a mess, you only know how to make a fuss, doesn't this humble house know how comfortable it is in the capital? Wasn't Xiao Letian forcing him to do this? ”If you let these two devils lead troops into the capital, you will all have to cut off their heads …”
An Dehai was more or less able to suppress the standard-bearer, once he mentioned the two evildoers and the group of old fellows, the atmosphere finally calmed down, but the Eight Flag collar who was called Master Lian clasped his hands and said.
”The Eunuch An scolded us, but we did not dare retort back, but our father-in-law took pity on these ten thousand brothers. The entire night was tired and hungry, if we did not eat and rest for a while, we would probably die of exhaustion before we could even go onto the battlefield …”
”Let's not talk about other things, these horses need to eat some grass. Everyone says that Xiao Letian is powerful, and we will have to count on these horses to help us fight our way through the enemy lines later …”
An Dehai could not even reject his master's words, his eyes rolled around as he thought of a plan, ”Alright, since you guys already said it, then I will take pity on you guys.” There is no dry food, but there are some in the surrounding villages! ”
”Let's keep going from now on. I'll allow you to gather food from the villages on both sides of the road. Will you eat while walking?”
”Aiya, eunuch is really a kind person!” All of the soldiers lying in the mud jumped up, all the good words that didn't cost anything were thrown right at An Dehai's head, causing him to be so happy that he couldn't even see his eyes.
The villages on both sides of the road could be considered to have suffered a disaster. The sleeping villages were immediately thrown into chaos as soldiers crazily smashed open every gate and forced the villagers to cook for them.
The adults made the children cry, and there were even cries from helpless women. The fat pigs and chickens and ducks in the yard were all chopped down.
”Dammit, what are you crying for? We are going to war for our country, what are you going to eat if not for this?” ”If there are no men protecting you, then the two devils will slaughter you to eat human flesh …”
