Escape after crossing
Chapter 159 Boil Water to Drink
Although he was shocked, Leng Chenming still told Jiang Ziluo about his plan.
"I'm waiting for Xuan Yi to come back. I'll have him lead his men to the enemy camp to investigate. If we find their food supplies, we can cut them off first. Without food supplies, we won't be able to continue this battle."
Jiang Ziluo heard it and realized that it was indeed similar to what he thought. But what did it mean to cut off the food supply? Would it be burned like on TV? What a pity!
Although he was thinking about it, Jiang Ziluo still asked, "When will Xuanyi come back?"
"Calculating the time, if nothing unexpected happens, we'll be back by noon!"
"Noon? There are still three or four hours to noon..." Although Jiang Ziluo murmured to himself, his eyes involuntarily looked into the distance.
Leng Chenming looked at Jiang Ziluo who seemed to be thinking about something, and said with a smile, "Why? Do you have any ideas?"
Jiang Ziluo came back to his senses, shook his head gently, and said firmly: "It's nothing serious, I'm just thinking about something. You see, our soldiers have been fighting all the time, they not only need enough food and water to maintain their physical strength, but also need proper rest to restore their energy.
What about the enemy's army? Don't they need these? If we can let our soldiers take turns to eat in advance and take time to rest, so that everyone can eat well, then use this opportunity to delay the enemy and not give them time to eat and rest.
This way, we can keep our soldiers in good condition and teach the enemy a lesson, letting them know that starting a war in the middle of the night is not a wise move!"
Leng Chenming looked at Jiang Ziluo with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, as if he had seen the dawn of victory. Leng Chenming didn't know what was wrong? Seeing Jiang Ziluo's expression, his mood was not so bad.
Originally, he saw that the enemy had no intention of retreating. It had been two or three hours since midnight. He was wondering whether he should launch an attack and repel them all at once. This would at least give the soldiers time to eat and rest.
However, if we really launch an attack, will we be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop? If not, it may put us in a passive position. After all, the enemy and we are equally strong now, and it is not wise to act rashly.
Just when he was hesitant, Jiang Ziluo made a suggestion that made him brighten up. However, he still had some doubts about his previous idea. After careful consideration, he realized that Jiang Ziluo's idea seemed more feasible.
Therefore, Leng Chenming made a prompt decision and ordered his men to follow Jiang Ziluo's advice. At the same time, Jiang Ziluo also reminded them to make sure to boil the water before drinking it to avoid infection.
After everything was arranged, Leng Chenming finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked the question in his mind: "Ziluo, why do we have to boil the water before we can drink it?"
There is a lot to this! First of all, from the perspective of hygiene and safety, raw water is very likely to be contaminated by various sources of disease, such as germs, parasites, etc.
Boiling the water is like a major sweep of these "bad guys", which can effectively kill them.
Secondly, boiling water can also improve the water quality. Impurities and odors will be expelled, leaving behind purer and more delicious drinking water.
Imagine, when you are thirsty, how pleasant it would be to drink a glass of clear, sweet, cold boiled water!
Furthermore, the hardness of raw water and the minerals it contains can sometimes cause some irritation to the stomach and intestines. By boiling, these problems can be alleviated, making our stomachs more comfortable.
Moreover, this can greatly save time and energy. No complicated purification process is required, and you can quickly get safe drinking water by just waiting for the water to boil.
In addition, boiling water has another important function, which is to prevent poisoning. Some poison ingredients will be destroyed at high temperatures, thus reducing the risk of being poisoned. After all, on the battlefield, the enemy will not show mercy.
Finally, maintaining good health is crucial for an army. Only with a strong physique can soldiers perform at their best in battle and improve the combat effectiveness of the entire team.
Therefore, boiling water for drinking is not only to quench thirst, but also a key measure to ensure the health of the army and enhance combat effectiveness.
Jiang Ziluo explained incessantly. Leng Chenming was a little confused at first, but as she explained in depth, he finally understood the truth.
It turns out that this seemingly simple action of boiling water actually has such a profound meaning behind it. Everything is for the health of the soldiers, because only when they are strong and healthy can they be invincible on the battlefield.
Leng Chenming understood, but the soldier who delivered the order did not, and the cooks in the kitchen were even more confused. The soldier left after delivering the order, but the kitchen exploded immediately, and everyone complained.
"Hey, when did we have so many rules for drinking water? In the past, when we were thirsty, we would just find some water to drink, whatever was available. But now, we have to boil it first and then wait for it to cool down before we can drink it. It's so troublesome!" said a cook, shaking his head.
"That's right. I just heard from the soldier who delivered the message that this was the request made by the doctor who went to see the general with the general's token some time ago." Another cook interrupted.
"Oh, he's a doctor. We'd better not talk about him behind his back. If he hears us, he might poison us or give us laxatives, or he might not treat us properly when we get sick. Wouldn't that be a loss?" Another cook said worriedly.
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense and get to work! There are so many soldiers outside waiting for food and water, not to mention that there are enemy troops outside eyeing us covetously. Hurry up!" Finally, someone came out to stop everyone's discussion and urged everyone to get back to work.
Although the cooks complained, they still had to follow the general's orders. Soon, the food was ready and the soldiers began to eat in batches.
Jiang Ziluo and Leng Chenming stood on the city wall and observed the movements of the enemy.
"It seems that your method worked. They seem a little tired." Leng Chenming said.
Jiang Ziluo nodded, "But we can't let our guard down. We must be ready to deal with their attacks at any time."
Just then, Xuan San came back, "Master, the enemy is beginning to retreat!"
Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo looked at each other and smiled. This battle finally achieved a staged victory.
Jiang Ziluo was thinking, will the enemy choose to rest and recover their strength after returning? Or will they choose to fill their stomachs first and then rest?
At this moment, Jiang Ziluo had regarded the enemy's food and grass as her own property. She felt extremely distressed in her heart. How much food would be consumed by so many people!
However, Xuan Yi had not returned yet. If she waited until Xuan Yi returned, wouldn't these people have already eaten two meals? Absolutely not. She had to go and collect the things immediately, or destroy them!
