Chapter 380 Quartermaster
Shen Hanxing looked at the familiar handwriting on the supply list and smiled: She should have known that she was coming to the front line, otherwise why would she just say "come back safely".
The war on the front line is now intense. Wen Yongnan and Ma Yushun both have a background in martial arts and have quickly adapted to life in the army.
The two men were in the darkness of the forest, staring at the enemy camp in the distance.
Ma Yushun's face was covered in stains, and his armor had scratches of varying sizes. "Xiaonan, what do you think about your family's current situation?"
Wen Yongnan kept his eyes fixed on the enemy camp in the distance without turning his head: "As long as Yi Yi is here, nothing will happen."
Ma Yushun smiled and said, "I don't know when it started, but she has become the pillar of our family."
"Captain, who are you talking about?" A boy with a real baby face looked at the two of them curiously.
"Don't ask questions, kid." Ma Yushun looked at the boy beside him.
The boy muttered angrily, "I'm not a child."
"Then what are you?"
"I am your colleague, colleague."
"I don't know what the recruiting officials were thinking, agreeing to let such a young child join the barracks."
The boy's face flushed with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I said, I'm not a child."
Wen Yongnan heard the two of them talking loudly: "Stop arguing. If you are discovered by the enemy, you might die without knowing how."
The two stopped talking for a moment and just stared at each other.
Ma Yushun made a face at the young man.
The boy was so angry that he wanted to hit him, and his fists clenched tighter.
Wen Yongnan felt a headache. His cousin's personality was too eccentric.
They waited from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to midnight. During this time, no one spoke a word, and no one even ate.
I just took out the water bag I brought with me occasionally and took a sip of water to avoid being dehydrated for a long time.
Ma Yushun felt his body almost stiffen: "Xiaonan, will Han Xing's method work?"
Wen Yongnan looked at him and asked, "Do we have the same brain as him?"
Ma Yushun's mouth twitched: "That's really not the case."
"Since there isn't one, then just follow his arrangements."
"Will burning their food supplies really cause chaos in the enemy camp?"
"Even if we can't burn their food supplies, we can still throw them into chaos, so General Lu can launch a surprise attack." He stood up and said, "Get ready."
All the soldiers hiding in the dark stood up, stretched their bodies, and took out bows and arrows from behind.
Their bows and arrows are specially made, with grease tied to the front end of the arrowhead, which can be easily ignited and not easily extinguished.
Wen Yongnan saw that everyone was ready and turned to look at the baby-faced boy: "Jiang Yun."
Jiang Yun took out a tinderbox and lit the torch beside him. He then ran towards the soldiers holding bows and arrows, igniting the grease on their arrowheads wherever he passed.
"Everyone, get ready. Once you've released your arrows, retreat immediately. No one is allowed to linger."
"yes."
"put."
“Swish, swish, swish.”
At Wen Yongnan's command, all the arrows flew towards the camp not far away.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack." The patrolling soldiers in the camp below shouted.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat." Wen Yongnan immediately told everyone to retreat quickly.
Their arrows had already set fire to the enemy's tents below, and the enemy was now busy putting out the fire and saving their food and supplies.
As soon as they retreated, they saw the signal of flames rising into the sky, and the army that had been waiting for a long time in the distance rushed towards the enemy camp.
Wen Yongnan and his team's mission was to set fire to the enemy's camp, preferably to burn the enemy's food and supplies, create chaos among the enemy, and give the army an opportunity.
After completing their mission, they returned to the army's rear camp.
Chen Hanxing came out of the tent with disheveled hair and some blue stubble on his chin.
When Ma Yushun saw him, he put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Han Xing, do you have anything to eat?"
"Now the firemen are resting, but there is no food left."
"Well, I'm going to go hungry again today." Ma Yushun sat down and lay down on the ground.
They stayed in hiding for two days. In order to avoid being noticed by the enemy, they did not dare to make a fire to cook. When they were hungry, they just drank water to fill their stomachs.
Now that he had finally run back to the tent and hadn't eaten yet, he was completely exhausted.
The other soldiers were not much better off, but no one complained. After all, they were marching and fighting, and going hungry was common.
Chen Hanxing looked at them: "Although the fire troops have rested, there is still food."
"Is there anything to eat?" The soldier on the ground immediately turned over and sat up.
Shen Hanxing asked the patrolling soldiers to help, brought bowls, plates and chopsticks, and also moved some things out of the tent.
Wen Yongnan looked at these things and a smile appeared on his face: "Sent them one by one?"
"Who else could it be?" Chen Hanxing distributed the things to the returning soldiers.
The soldiers in the barracks had never seen instant noodles before, and had no idea what they were. They looked at them in confusion.
Ma Yushun said proudly at this time: "You haven't seen it before, this is called instant noodles."
"Instant noodles?" The soldiers looked puzzled.
Wen Yongnan didn't waste any time and poured water into the pot. After the water boiled, he poured in the instant noodles and seasonings.
Soon, the military camp was filled with an enticing aroma, and even the sleeping soldiers woke up. They came out of their tents and gathered here.
"Master Shen, what is this?"
"This is instant noodles. It was just delivered today."
"instant noodles?"
Ma Yushun began to educate the soldiers, talking about how good and convenient instant noodles were.
Although the soldiers were listening, their eyes were looking at the noodles cooking in the pot, and some of them swallowed their saliva unconsciously.
Chen Hanxing knew that the soldiers had been working extremely hard recently, so he simply had someone set up a few more pots and cook some instant noodles for everyone.
The soldiers were all very happy, mainly because the aroma of the instant noodles kept them awake.
They really hadn't had a proper meal during this period. They just found a place to eat casually, and then some continued on their journey.
Lu Jing led a large army to encircle the enemy camp and they were also exhausted.
If Wen Yongnan and his men didn't eat, then they did the same. They just wanted to prevent the enemy from discovering their whereabouts and they just held on like that.
This time they launched a surprise attack, catching the enemy off guard and winning a great victory.
When they came back, they saw everyone in the camp sitting together eating, and they were stunned for a moment.
Shen Hanxing saw them coming back: “General Lu, eat something.”
Lu Jing saw what they were eating and frowned slightly: "What are these and where did they come from?"
"The food was just delivered today." He took out a few sheets of paper from his pocket and handed them to him: "Here is the list."
