After these ships are used, where to dock is also a problem.

If we stop on the other side of the Xiangjiang River, the enemy will definitely take these boats for themselves after crossing the river, which will cause the ship owners to suffer losses.

And if a small group of enemy troops crosses the river, they can use these large ships to quickly transport the large force.

In this case, the enemy will quickly catch up with the Red Army and everyone will be in danger.

In a blink of an eye, the boat had reached the riverside. Commander Liu had not left yet, but was waiting there.

In addition to Chief Liu, the boat owner was also sitting on the shore. Although he saw such a fierce battle, there was no sign of shock on his face.

After the soldiers got off the boat one after another, they asked Commander Liu for instructions.

"Commander, where is this ship going to dock?"

Commander Liu pointed in the direction of the downstream and said, "I have discussed with the owner of the boat. The boat will go down and then dock. After docking, you should hurry to Tuping Village as soon as possible. We will gather there."

"Yes!"

Then four or five soldiers went on board each boat to drive the boat.

Chief Liu saw Zhao Dashan standing by and said, "This journey is quite long, and we definitely can't do it without a cook. Are you willing to go with us?"

When Zhao Dashan heard the leader talking to him, he straightened his back and saluted with a standard military salute.

"The mission must be completed!"

There were pots and some food on the shore, all prepared for the soldiers. Commander Liu had already considered the plan of moving the boats before.

When everyone was moving food upstairs, Zhou Yue seized the opportunity to walk up to Chief Liu and saluted like Brother Dashan.

"Hello, Chief! I am also in the kitchen team. I would like to apply to go with the soldiers. Brother Dashan is alone and I am afraid he will be overwhelmed."

Commander Liu thought about it and realized that this small team had about a hundred people, and it would be too hard to have only one cook.

"Okay! Then be careful on the road."

Then, just as the enemies were about to reach the shore, twenty boats moved downstream one after another.

The boat sailed for about ten minutes and arrived at a quiet shore.

The boat was moving along the current at a very fast speed, and at this time the original battlefield was completely out of sight.

The ship owner was also sitting on a boat and began to direct everyone to dock.

"Everyone just stop here on the shore!"

Then the 22 boats stopped neatly at the shore, and everyone got off the boats one after another, ready to continue on their journey.

There was a soldier who had been fighting all night. As soon as he stood up from the boat, he felt dizzy.

His body swayed and he almost fell off the boat.

Zhou Yue saw that there was no one around, only a few low bungalows in the distance, which should be ordinary farmers' homes. This was a very safe place for the time being.

"Brother Dashan, the soldiers have worked hard all night. How about letting everyone rest here for a while while we get them something to eat?"

Zhao Dashan also realized that everyone's condition was really bad, so he took down the pots and pans and prepared to cook on the spot.

The soldiers closed their eyes and took a break.

Commander Liu prepared two large bags of rice and one large bag of noodles for them, which would be more than enough for them if they arrived within three or four days.

Zhao Dashan took some clear water from the river, added some rice into it, and prepared to make a bowl of rice porridge for everyone.

The crystal rice grains jumped up and down in the boiling water, and the heat emitted by the burning firewood dispelled the cold at dawn.

The soldiers closed their eyes and dozed for about half an hour, and their physical fatigue was slightly relieved.

Everyone sat around the pot, feeling the warmth of the firewood and drinking steaming rice porridge.

After drinking the porridge, everyone was using the water from the river to wash the pots and pans when they suddenly heard a rustling sound of footsteps.

The soldiers immediately became alert and turned around with guns in their hands.

When they saw the person coming, their tense hearts relaxed a little.

It was the boat owner from before, walking towards them, with five mules beside him.

Zhao Dashan, who had just finished washing the pot, was very confused when he saw him and the mule, as well as the mule's back full of things.

The boat owner left suddenly just now, and he thought he was going to relieve himself, but he didn't expect that he would be gone for so long and come back with several mules.

"Comrade, where did you get these mules?"

There was a little soldier who was so curious that he couldn't help but ask.

The boat owner pointed to a bungalow in the distance and said, "That bungalow belongs to my friend. He gave me this mule as a gift. That's why I asked you to stop the boat here."

Zhao Dashan has already started packing his bags quickly. He has to catch up with the main force and cannot waste any more time.

"Comrade, we are going to set off soon, so please be careful and be safe."

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

The boat owner called them and walked over with the mule.

He opened the cloth bag on the mule and showed it to them.

"Here are some dried meats and fruits and vegetables. They are our token of appreciation. Please accept them."

Each mule carries about 300 kilograms of load, and all the supplies weigh about one or two thousand kilograms in total.

Inside the opened cloth bag are all kinds of dried meat, including pork, beef and mutton.

There are also some cloth bags containing vegetables and fruits, including spinach, lettuce, cabbage, apples, pears and oranges, all of which are seasonal vegetables and fruits in November.

The abundance of these supplies made Zhao Dashan a little excited. It would be great if the soldiers could eat these good things. It would definitely help to replenish their depleted bodies.

But the Red Army’s discipline was not to take a single needle or thread from the villagers, no matter how good the thing was.

"Thank you, comrade. We really can't accept these things. We appreciate your kindness."

The boat owner was a little anxious, "Just accept these things. The livestock and vegetables and fruits I raise are not worth much."

Zhao Dashan was touched, but still kept shaking his head.

"No, comrade. We all have rules. We must not accept these things."

Zhou Yue, who was watching the whole process from the side, was very anxious at this moment. She had just entered a new task for this NPC in the system.

It means giving the soldiers rich food.

Although there was rice and flour in the team, it was only enough to fill their stomachs and was not nutritious enough.

So she bought five mules and these dried meat, vegetables and fruits and had the NPC deliver them.

But these soldiers had already engraved the discipline into their hearts, and they refused to accept these things no matter what, which made her feel anxious.

At this time, the boat owner was arguing with Zhao Dashan, one insisted on giving something away, while the other refused to accept it.

Zhou Yue suddenly thought of a perfect solution and entered some new settings for the NPC into the system.

Hehehe, now the soldiers will definitely accept these supplies!
