On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, there was a severe cold.
The moonlight is like a hook, the north wind is like a knife, and the cold snow is like an arrow.
On the border of Qi State, under Tunliu City,
The army of Qi State surrounded this small city like iron barrels, trying to regain this city that was related to the face of Qi State.
The soaring aura of murder on the battlefield made every soldier guarding the city feel deeply uneasy.
There are only more than a thousand Tang troops left in Tunliu City still guarding the city.
As a centurion of the Tang army, Qin Yu led his troops to guard the south gate of Tunliu City.
On the city wall, Qin Yu and a group of soldiers were lying on the top of the city in a staggered state. Their faces were all sallow with hunger, and their eyes were staring at the stars without a trace. .
The city had long been out of food, and the days of hard fighting had caused their broken armor to be stained red with dried blood. The swords full of gaps had long lost their bronze luster and were carelessly discarded aside.
"Centurion, can we still go back to celebrate the New Year?" the soldier beside him asked helplessly.
"You can go back if you are alive." Qin Yu was too hungry to speak, but he still responded to the soldier with all his strength.
He was a medical college student who was about to graduate. He stayed in the dormitory all night playing games. As a result, he traveled here as soon as he fell asleep and possessed the body of an unlucky man who starved to death.
Qin Yu learned from the memory of this unlucky guy that this was a different world similar to the Warring States Period, where the world was divided into seven parts and wars continued. .
Among the seven heroes in the world, Tang and Qi have been fighting fiercely for two years, attacking each other's cities and plundering territory, but they are all at the end of their powerful crossbows.
Three months ago, the Tang army captured Tunliu, and the original owner was ordered to guard the place along with the captain.
However, no one expected that the fight for this small town would turn into a face-to-face battle between Qi and Tang.
Since Tunliu was located within the territory of Qi State, the Tang army had no reinforcements and no supplies of food and grass. It had become a chess piece abandoned for shame.
······
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"
The voice of the Huotoujun shocked everyone.
Everyone stood up with hunger in their eyes, staggering towards the scattered food like zombies.
Qin Yu's face was full of bitterness. Two days ago, he was eating hot pot and singing, but now he could only eat rat soup to survive.
The taste of the soup is hard to describe. It is just the gutter water mixed with oil. It will make you feel uncomfortable if you eat it, and you will starve to death if you don't eat it.
In order not to starve to death, Qin Yu stood up with difficulty and walked tremblingly towards the pot of black soup.
As soon as I got close, the disgusting smell hit my nose, but my stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
There are two furry mouse skins floating on the soup. As the spoon stirs in the soup, the mouse skins also swim up and down in the soup.
"Centurion, I left some meat for you." Huotoujun served Qin Yu a bowl of soup and fished out a thumb-sized piece of mouse meat from the bottom.
Qin Yu was so hungry that he couldn't speak and could only cast a grateful look.
I found a random seat and sat down on the ground helplessly.
Just as he was about to take a sip of soup, he saw the soldier on the opposite side take out a piece of mouse skin from the bowl, put it into his mouth and chew it vigorously.
Seeing this scene, Qin Yu felt the acid water in his stomach surge, and he couldn't stop retching.
At this time, a strong man in civilian clothes walked up to the city with a few people.
These people's faces were glowing and they walked with great energy.
"Everyone, eat quickly! These are the few remaining rats that I, the general, and my men finally caught from the city!"
This strong man is none other than their commander-in-chief Lin Yue. If he hadn’t ordered to stick to Tunliu before, he wouldn’t have been trapped here.
"Captain, when will we get food supplies?" A gray-haired veteran looked at Lin Yue.
Lin Yue's eyelids twitched, and then he grinned, "Now that the war has eased, the problem of food and grass will be solved soon! I will send people to break through the enemy's blockade to rush!"
Lin Yue's words undoubtedly gave everyone a shot in the arm and gave everyone a glimmer of hope.
But only Qin Yu knew where the hell he got the food and grass. It was just words to stabilize the morale of the army.
Lin Yue was also afraid that his secret would be exposed, so he told everyone to guard the city gate, and then hurriedly led his people down the city.
Qin Yu sighed, looked at the soup in the bowl, closed his eyes with his heart pounding, and drank it without even daring to chew the rat meat.
"Ugh~"
But the taste in his mouth almost made Qin Yu spit it out.
"Ding dong! The time travel comprehensive system is being bound, please wait..."
Qin Yu's face froze, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
finally! The must-have golden finger for time-travelers has appeared! There's help!
It's just that this damn system came too late, and I don't know if it will help the current situation.
A white page appeared in front of Qin Yu.
[Host: Qin Yu]
[Reputation: 50]
【Warehouse: 2】
[Limited to the current situation of the host, the system will give away basic materials: Dabai steamed buns, soy milk, unlimited, and no cooling time. 】
[Note: Who knows that every meal on the plate is hard work? 】
······
Qin Yu didn't read any more about the introduction of the system. All Qin Yu could see was the big white steamed buns.
With big white steamed buns, you no longer have to eat rats and chew tree bark.
Qin Yu climbed up with difficulty, planning to find a place where no one was around to take out the steamed buns and eat a few bites first.
Suddenly, the sound of the city gate opening was heard under the city wall.
Qin Yu had a bad premonition in his heart and hurriedly stretched his head to look down.
I saw Commander Lin Yue, put on make-up, leading a few of his men, carrying large and small bags, riding a fast horse out of the city, and soon disappeared into the wilderness outside the city.
"Centurion, Centurion, are they going to collect food in person?" asked a soldier who was younger than Qin Yu.
Qin Yu gave a wry smile and said, "What a waste of food and grass. He clearly abandoned us and ran away. As for whether he surrendered directly to the enemy or was lucky, thinking that he could survive in an ignoble way, Qin Yu no longer had the energy to think about it."
From the beginning, I felt that there was something wrong with Lin Yue, but I didn't expect that this guy was so shameless that he left everyone and ran away.
Fortunately, there is a system now, otherwise even if he doesn't die in battle, he will starve to death here.
Qin Yu walked down the city wall with difficulty, took out the steamed buns as a cushion, and finally gained some strength. Then he came to the warehouse where the grain and grass were stored...
When Qin Yu returned to the city wall again, he knocked on the city wall with his sword and shouted: "I know where there is food!"
Everyone looked at Qin Yu, their eyes filled with confusion. Food? Is there really anything to eat?
"If you want to eat steamed buns! Come with me!" Qin Yu held on to the city wall and staggered down.
Everyone just hesitated for a moment and then followed. Now as long as they have something to eat, they can trust anyone.
Qin Yu led the crowd like hungry wolves towards the warehouse.
The warehouse was in dilapidated condition, and the wooden doors had long been rotted. In addition to the walls, the roof had big holes, and it seemed that it could collapse at any time in the next storm.
As soon as everyone entered the warehouse, they saw the steaming big white steamed buns in the bamboo basket.
"Steamed buns, steamed buns!"
"Is this really a steamed bun? Centurion, is this true?"
The soldiers' eyes turned red when they looked at Qin Yu, and their whole bodies were shaking with excitement.
Qin Yu stepped forward and picked up a steamed bun. Everyone's eyes followed the steamed bun, and they kept swallowing their saliva.
Qin Yu said to everyone: "Brothers! Don't ask too much! Don't say too much! Everyone has the steamed buns here! Eat them open!"
Qin Yu stepped aside and everyone looked at each other.
"Come here and eat the steamed buns!" Qin Yu shouted, and the next moment everyone pounced on him like hungry wolves, and the bamboo basket containing the steamed buns was torn into pieces.
No one cared if the steamed buns fell on the ground and got dusty. No one cared if someone stepped on them. They picked them up and stuffed them into their mouths.
"Oh my god! This is a fine noodle steamed bun that only a noble man can afford!"
"It's so delicious! It's so delicious! I didn't expect that one day we would be able to eat fine noodle steamed buns!"
"Yes, yes! Not only do you no longer have to eat rats, but you can also eat such good steamed buns!"
"Don't mention the damn mouse. Now that I think about it, I feel like vomiting! If I vomit it out, I won't be able to kick you to death!"
Some people stuffed one or two steamed buns into their mouths and it was not enough, so they continued stuffing steamed buns into their mouths.
"Don't waste it! If anyone wastes it! There will be no steamed buns to eat tomorrow!" Qin Yu asked from the side.
"Can't waste it! Can't waste it!"
"Don't grab them! Leave some for the centurion!" A veteran grabbed two steamed buns and ran to Qin Yu and handed them to Qin Yu.
"Centurion, you eat too." The veteran still had two steamed buns in his mouth, his face full of flattery.
"Old Huang, you can eat it yourself, I have some." Qin Yu took out two steamed buns from his arms.
