"Today I'm cooking some thin food..."
Niu Gao sighed and said: "For Yuhou and above, half a catty per day. For Yuhou and the commander, the head is one catty. For those below, the weight is one and a half catties for the soldiers and one and a half catties for the common people."
According to normal marching operations on weekdays, "the soldiers carry five days of dry food by themselves, and each person carries six measures of rice." This is the ration recorded by Shen Kuo in "Mengxi Bi Tan" during the time of Emperor Shenzong; although there are some differences now, but Generally speaking, the difference is not big, because according to him, in a real war, three civilians are responsible for the rations of one soldier. If 100,000 soldiers are raised, it will cost 300,000 civilians.
Fighting has always been about flexibility and convenience. Take Yue Fei as an example. He has 100,000 soldiers, but he does not have 300,000 civilians. This war is not impossible to fight. It just needs to ensure that the food channels are smooth, the logistics are smooth, and the calculations are smooth. Just make mistakes.
And under normal circumstances, it is normal for a soldier to eat two kilograms of grain a day. When there is meat, he can eat less, and when there is no meat, he can eat more. It is not fixed.
Now listening to the ration report from Niu Gao...the army rations are not enough. This is something Yue Fei has known for a long time, or it is something everyone in Zhongmou City knows. He is not surprised, and just asked:
"How many days are enough?"
Niu Gao said: "According to this ratio, it is enough for two days."
"If we cut off the rations for Yuhou and other positions, we can gain one more day."
Sighing softly, Yue Fei looked at the golden people outside... He saw with his own eyes how these people increased from thirty thousand to several times more. Zhongmu was like a leaf floating on the Cai River. At this time, he was The sea of people in Jin Kingdom is crowded in the middle. As long as a wave hits, it may be overturned at any time.
And when this wave hit, he himself couldn't tell.
"The troops will scatter if they don't have food. Then we should arrange them according to the two days, and we can't reduce it any more."
"If there is no improvement in two days, then..."
He didn't finish his words. He had been fighting for his whole life. It's not that there were times when he fought with less and more, but it was certainly not as dangerous as this time.
If there are 20,000 people in the city who are determined to break through, it is not impossible. After all, they are all elites from the army. Just think about the losses and the thousands of civilians who came into the city. Even though he still couldn't make up his mind completely.
"Tell everyone to get ready, get ready..."
Before he finished speaking, someone started shouting:
"Yue Fei! Why are you so stubborn? If you accept the city's surrender early, you will not miss the opportunity to be granted a title or title!"
"Are you going to let your men die in vain?"
"The two countries of Jin and Song are brothers. Where did the bloody feud come from?! We had already negotiated peace earlier, and it was you who betrayed your alliance and came to attack. Our lord is merciful. I think of your emperor as a bloodthirsty man, and I still want to fight with you. If you wake up to the matter of Jia Zhige in time, it can be regarded as..."
The older he gets, the calmer Yue Fei's temperament becomes, but this calmness is not his nature, but a character that he must have as the commander of an army.
After all, he is a person who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. After all, he is a person who hates evil as much as he hates his enemies. In the past few days, Golden Marble has been shouting and shouting randomly whenever he has time. Sometimes, he will come and shout five or six times an hour. Sometimes, he will shout randomly. He had to come three or four times a day. At this time, he was a little worried about the food and grass matters, and this man happened to bump into him. Without saying anything, he turned around and entered the city.
The Golden Marble learned the lesson this time. There really are no empty guests under such a famous reputation. It is not a rumor that Yue Fei is a master of bows and horses. He almost suffered a big loss at his hands last time. These few times, he has always brought shield soldiers with him. , Wearing heavy armor, he is already fully prepared, so why don't you keep a distance...
Firstly, he was worried that Yue Fei wouldn't be able to hear him, and secondly, because he was far away, others might think he was scared!
Okay, it is indeed a bit scary.
Originally, he vaguely saw the archer Yue Fei on top of the city wall. After being yelled at by him a few times, he turned around and turned back. The golden marble was angry and happy at the same time. He was happy that Yue Fei had broken his defense, but he was angry that he actually did it. Dare to look down on yourself so much, you can't even say a word... I used to shoot arrows, but now I can't even shoot swords.
But this depression did not last long, because soon, under the reminder of the people next to him, he looked at the man and reappeared in front of him.
"What's the meaning?"
The golden marble was a little hesitant. There were already shield soldiers in front of him. He thought that Yue Fei would make some moves, but he saw that his hands were empty. He just held a bundle of sticks and leaned casually on the city wall.
Then he looked at him again, holding a stick and pointing it at himself, as if he was throwing a pot... He knew that the Han people's tricks were very popular with him, but he was not very interested in it.
It was that pot-throwing motion, throwing the stick towards himself.
The Second Highness of the Kingdom of Jin didn't have time to laugh at Yue Fei for losing his mind. He saw the stick getting closer and closer, and then he could see it more clearly. What kind of stick was it? It was clearly a spear, a spear a little over three feet!
Throwing spears is a very familiar move for the Jurchens who started out as fishermen and hunters. However, life has gotten better and better in recent years, and everyone has become accustomed to using more advanced bows and crossbows instead. In addition to spearing fish, It is rare to see such a number of roads.
That's why Golden Marble couldn't react for a while. After all, he didn't have to spear fish. The speed of the spear was as fast as that of arrows. But the good thing is that no matter how powerful Yue Fei is, he is just a mortal. , only a hundred steps later, the spear fell down and stuck in the ground.
One hundred steps was already a very exaggerated distance. The Fourth Prince had never seen it used in such a way and couldn't help but swallow.
Then I remembered to make fun of him, but I just said 'haha' twice. I felt that I couldn't laugh, so I fell silent again.
On the other side, Yue Fei brought up a bag of javelins. He hadn't used this thing for many years, and he didn't know how far he could throw it. After one shot passed, the distance was still short, so he gave up the idea of using this thing.
As early as the time of Emperor Taizong, the Forbidden Army had already begun to use this kind of weapon, called a javelin or a spear. However, like the Jin Kingdom, after the emergence of the divine arm bow, this thing has almost withdrawn from its stage.
Although the gun failed to hurt anyone, it still had an effect. At least it made the Jinguo fly quiet down. He was quiet, and the city of Zhongmou became noisy again.
Yue Fei looked back and saw that it was not his soldiers who were causing trouble, but the common people who were fleeing for their lives. Just when he was about to ask, Niu Gao had already ran up to him with an angry look on his face.
"They want us to open the door and surrender!"
Marshal Yue frowned when he heard this, and for a moment he felt a lot colder in his heart.
