Chapter 202 Cold Weapons That Shocked the Ancients
It was too troublesome to make breakfast, so Chen You made them a bowl of instant noodles and steamed two bags of milk-flavored steamed buns.
Considering that Da Qi didn't have any chili peppers, only peppercorns and ginger, Chen You deliberately chose a non-spicy flavor.
I’m afraid that the food they eat will cause stomach discomfort in the cold north.
Liu Yunyan and Zhou Shu, who had already seen the magic of self-heating rice, were not too surprised by the way instant noodles were eaten.
However, the moment he removed the wooden tray and opened the packaging lid, a rich aroma wafted out and Uncle Zhou couldn't help swallowing.
This smells so good!
It tastes better than any soup made by the best chef in the North.
The noodles are springy and I have never seen noodles like this before.
The two were puzzled, and then they saw Shopkeeper Shen open the small bag inside and pour some powder and dried vegetables into it, and how did it become a thick soup.
Uncle Zhou finished the extra-large version of instant noodles in just two or three mouthfuls and even drank the soup.
Knowing that they were not full and that the weather was cold and their bodies were exhausted, Chen You went upstairs to take down the steamed buns.
Use a bamboo plate, put a layer of oil paper on it, and place it on the table. Each one is plump white and steaming.
There are also a wide variety of pastries in the capital of Da Qi, including steamed buns and dumplings, but none with milk flavor.
Uncle Zhou was a little worried at first, wondering if they were eating too much. Such delicious steamed buns are not very common in the north, especially in winter.
The steamed buns on the table look delicious!
When he was hesitating whether to reach out and take one, he saw Liu Yunyan had already eaten half of it and was looking at him in confusion.
"Why are you standing there? Eat."
Uncle Zhou now started to eat with peace of mind, and the four steamed buns were quickly finished. Liu Yunyan touched his stomach and found that he was full.
"Manager Shen, is this steamed bun expensive? I want to give one to each of the soldiers."
If today is the last meal, we should eat well.
Uncle Zhou also looked at her expectantly.
“It’s not very expensive, you can send two.” Chen You said.
She guessed that there were only about one or two thousand soldiers left in the city.
After Liu Yunyan reported the number of people, Chen You thought to himself that as expected, there were less than two thousand soldiers, and some of them were injured.
In such a harsh environment, without medicine, seriously injured people might not survive even a night.
The casualties on the Da Qi side were too heavy.
According to the terrain of Shuozhou City, it takes 6,000 people to defend the city, while it would take several times, or even dozens of times, more people to attack the city.
Therefore, the outsiders had to take advantage of the winter when the roads were blocked by heavy snow, making it convenient to intercept supplies.
"You'll have to wait for so many steamed buns, about half an hour." Chen You said.
Frozen steamed buns are available wholesale locally. We supply many stores and they will be delivered to you just by making a phone call.
She asked them to set up a pot and steam it themselves. There was only one household electric steamer in her shop, and it couldn't steam all the food even if it started to smoke.
This period of time is just right, and Liu Yunyan and his team also need to transport the supplies back.
The cart has arrived. Chen You's shop is at the foot of the mountain, not far from the soldiers' camp in the city.
But the road was a little difficult to walk on due to her location, so it took some time.
After thinking about it, Liu Yunyan made a decision.
"Manager Shen, we will transport some of the supplies first, and leave the rest with you. If..."
At this point, she paused and said, "If we are still alive after today's You hour, we can come back to get the supplies we need tomorrow."
These things are too precious, especially the medicines. If they fail to protect them, they must never let the supplies fall into the hands of foreigners.
After hearing what she said, Uncle Zhou immediately understood, "Should we keep some good people on duty nearby?"
"No need, the supplies left with me are guaranteed to be safe." Chen You replied with a smile.
The cart was parked outside the door, and according to the quantity Liu Yunyan said, Chen You directly used the store system to transport them to the door.
The image of the hermit master has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
The supplies were of vital importance, and Liu Yunyan was reluctant to hand them over to others, so Uncle Zhou and another veteran were responsible for the entire process until they were transported to the warehouse in the camp to store the food.
We were even more cautious about the medicines, and repeatedly asked the veteran in charge of logistics to keep a close eye on them.
During this time, Chen You also returned to the modern world from the temporarily vacated garage door, collected a wave of milk-flavored steamed buns, and settled the bill on the spot.
Uncle Zhou, who had just transported rice and flour out, saw that there were nearly a thousand bags of frozen steamed buns in the side room, as well as cold clothes, sleeping bags, rice wine, and hot packs for the soldiers.
Uncle Zhou was dumbfounded.
The more supplies we can carry, the more we can move.
"Who is this evil bastard who harboured evil intentions and said that the Imperial Master was endangering the country of Great Qi and framing loyal officials?!" He whispered to Liu Yunyan while standing at the threshold.
They can invite such a powerful hermit master. Is this a threat to Da Qi?
It is clearly to protect Da Qi. From today on, if anyone talks nonsense again, he will be the first to disagree!
Liu Yunyan nodded solemnly.
The powerful and wealthy in the capital lived in luxurious mansions and had the best charcoal and fur coats worth thousands of gold.
How many people can think of the soldiers in the north?
After so long, only Shopkeeper Shen brought in the supplies.
She accepted money and gifts from the Liu family and the prince, and came to such a bitter and cold place in exchange for a favor from the imperial teacher.
Everyone keeps these in mind.
After the supplies were delivered, the medicines were used first. Each person was given a tube of frostbite cream, and the kang in the military doctor's barracks quickly became warm.
There was also a charcoal brazier in the room, so the soldiers who took off their clothes for treatment felt much better.
A large steamer had just been set up in the kitchen, and each layer was filled with large white steamed buns.
After the warm clothes are counted, they will be distributed.
The lifeless military camp seemed to come alive again, and the soldiers began to feel some hope.
With the help of otherworldly masters and the delivery of supplies, maybe we can really hold on!
At this time, Liu Yunyan, Uncle Zhou, and a trustworthy veteran were still in Shen You's shop.
If they actually got the supplies, no one would doubt Shen You's identity. They brought a map and told Shen You the intelligence about the foreigners and the situation in the city.
Hope to get some advice from an expert here.
Chen You doesn’t know how to march and fight, and it’s not convenient for Wen Zhi to come over during the day.
But she had the information left by her predecessors, and her ancestors and forefathers had fought battles where the outnumbered side defeated the larger force.
She also has external aid. The Tibetan Museum's national team has experts who study ancient military tactics and modern strategic directions. Mr. Xu also studies this.
Chen You is an outsider who only knows how to talk about military affairs on paper, and he certainly cannot give any advice to Liu Yunyan and others.
All we can do is to sort out the information and use the system to translate it into the language of Da Qi to see if it can help them.
This matter will take some time, but fortunately she started preparing in advance before deciding to come to the North.
Now that we have the specific situation of Shuozhou City, we can filter information more accurately.
I received a message on my mobile phone at around nine o'clock, which contained the boss's opinions on the situation in Shuozhou City.
I was particularly happy to tell Chen You that I didn't expect that she was also so interested in ancient military tactics, and I would invite her to go to the next salon on this theme.
They currently only need to defend the city, not a battle between two armies, so the information to be organized is not complicated.
Chen You took out a few cold weapons that he had picked up in Lancheng, "Take a look and see if there is anything that can be used."
Ancient smelting technology was limited, and steel knives were far less sturdy than modern steel knives.
