The time soon came to the evening, the soldiers were cooking fragrant broth in the camp, and the battle was going to start early tomorrow morning, so they ate a lot today. The main force, the regular army, had no staple food, and all ate meat and drinking milk.

As for the second-line troops, that is, more than 40,000 linked troops, they eat meat, beans, oatmeal, and cheese.

There is no way, there is a gap between the first-line troops and the second-line troops, and Theodosius doesn’t want to do this, but if everyone eats and drinks, the cost will be put aside, the meat that Theodosius brings is really not enough. eat.

Even the most troublesome thing for him now is that the reproduction rate of cattle and sheep is not enough. In the case of feeding the army to eat meat, he can only increase the number in a small amount while maintaining the same number.

If you want to increase faster, you can’t slaughter too much, you must leave enough breeding sheep to give birth to young, and you must allow time for the young to grow up.

But how could the food for the army be delayed, not to mention whether the army would be unstable because of it, the decline in combat power caused by not eating meat alone would make Theodosius vomit blood in distress.

A thousand sheep and a large amount of jerky were cooked, exuding a strong aroma. The whole camp was fragrant for ten miles, and even Fort Andonia was within the scope of this aroma.

“The gods are above, they don’t all eat meat, right?”

The defenders on the city wall smelled the strong aroma of meat, and their hearts had already forgotten their fears and were filled with the desire for meat.

Eating meat is quite a luxury for these people. In the absence of excellent breeding, the conversion rate of grain and meat is quite low. The conversion rate of Yorkshire pigs in Theodosius’ previous life is about one to four. , one kilogram of meat needs to feed four kilograms of grain. (It is not easy to convert feed and grain, so I just calculated a little more)

The sheep raised by Theodosius is about one to six, that is, feeding six kilograms of grain can grow one kilogram of meat.

This kind of conversion rate really can’t be considered high, and the Northern Empire has had a food shortage in recent years, and people don’t have enough to eat, so how can it be used to raise livestock.

That is to say, those big landlords and nobles have a lot of land and can harvest enough grain to raise some livestock, but the number of those livestock cannot be too many, and the nobles are not mentally retarded, and there is so much grain that they cannot support the army. brute?

Therefore, the livestock raised by the nobles are good enough for their own food, and they can be supplied to ordinary soldiers without even thinking about it.

Therefore, most of these defenders have not eaten meat for at least two or three years. On weekdays, watching ordinary civilians go hungry, they feel that they can at least eat enough to eat, which is quite satisfying.

But when the strong aroma of meat wafted over, the mouths full of oil fell into the eyes of the enemy soldiers, and the thirst for meat was suddenly aroused by these defenders.

Some people even stared blankly outside the city, with no other thoughts in their minds, only thirst.

“Anyone with long eyes can see…”

“With so much meat, I’m not afraid of dying…”

After a while, the defenders on the city wall recovered from their sluggish state, and someone said sourly.

“If it were me, it would kill me and I would like to…”

Someone said quietly.

Baron Winton felt the change in the soldiers’ emotions, and was helpless. He could only order the kitchen to kill all the pigs, sheep and cattle in the castle and make broth for the soldiers to serve.

As the saying goes, wealth is at risk, and now he just wants to keep his wealth, even if the hope is slim, he wants to reach out and try it.

The soldiers who had eaten the meat after a long time shed tears of happiness one after another, shouting words like Long Live the Baron, but Baron Winton was still not happy.

Because according to the current consumption rate, those cattle, sheep and pork can only support two days and four meals. What if they are consumed?

He didn’t know, he just hoped that those **** nobles could improve their execution after ending the meaningless disputes, and quickly assemble the army to send troops, the sooner he arrived, the safer he would be.

At night, the world fell into a silent noise. Various insects and birds became active at this time, but the world, or the dominant creatures south of the Hengduan Mountains, fell silent.

There were burning torches all around the camp, and a large number of sentries and patrols inspected back and forth to prevent all those with ulterior motives from causing harm to the army.

Soldiers who don’t need a vigil are sleeping soundly in their tents. They have to keep their spirits up tonight, and tomorrow will be their time to show their talents.

Theodosius looked at the top of the tent, he was a little sleepless now, not worried about tomorrow’s siege, because this small castle was really not in his eyes and could be broken easily.

What he thought in his mind was what kind of reaction the Northern Empire would make, when and where would their army appear, whether that Tambadri colluded with the monsters, and in case it happened again similar to the previous blood What to do with a monster that is stronger than a powerful species like a servant~www.mtlnovel.com~ In addition to these, he also pondered whether the Central Empire had received his news, and if they received the news, would they How about sending troops to get a piece of the pie? If you do, what measures and attitudes should you take?

In short, his mind is in a chaotic, inexplicable chaos now.

After tossing until it was almost midnight, Theodosius was dragged into sleep by the exhaustion on his body, and then he heard the rapid wake up call.

He stretched and got up from the bed with a breath. Vico opened the curtain and walked in from outside the tent to help him put on his clothes and armor.

The soldiers had a simpler breakfast. The jerky, which was not boiled in water, was paired with the bean and wheat porridge that had been cooked early in the morning, and it was solved with goat milk.

It wasn’t until eight o’clock, and it took an hour from the wake-up call to when everything was ready.

Today’s order of battle is the Central Military District and the Ledwyn Military District, with Varangian Guards, Knights and Archers.

Such a small castle is not enough for the army to come out. Moreover, if there is not a large number of cannon fodder troops to consume the enemy’s physical strength during the siege operation, then simply let the elite troops go directly to kill the enemy as soon as possible to gain space, so that the city wall can be destroyed. Take it down.

At about 8:30, the army of the Rhine Kingdom had assembled under the city of Fort Andonia. There were 4,800 elites from the Central Military Region, 1,600 soldiers from the Rydermen Military Region, and more than 800 soldiers. Varangian Guard and 4,500 archers and 502 cavalry.

The siege towers, chariots, and long ladders were already in place, and the soldiers stood ready to attack, waiting for Theodosius to give the order to conquer the small castle.
