Chapter 1787: Why Was It So Difficult to Change One’s Life?

Ning Shu held a wooden stick and stabbed at the scarecrow, piercing its neck. She said, “You don’t need any fancy moves. Just stab at the neck and eyes. Those are vital points, so stab wherever it is.”

“Don’t target the chest, as it has breastbone protection. You may jam the wooden pike,” said Ning Shu loudly. She then gave Chen Li the wooden stick in her hand.

Chen Li accepted the wooden stick solemnly. He clenched his teeth and assumed the correct posture as the muscles on his face trembled. He then fiercely stabbed the scarecrow.

After watching these people train for a while, Ning Shu went into the house to get the herbs. There would definitely be injuries on the battlefield.

After training all afternoon, someone came to deliver food in the evening. It was coarse cornbread with yellowed vegetable leaves inside.

They had to mix the cornbread with cold water to barely digest it. Ning Shu ate the cornbread without saying anything. It was hard as a stone and almost broke her teeth. When she finally swallowed the cornbread, it felt like a knife was going down her throat. It was painful.

Ning Shu quickly drank some water to dislodge the cornbread stuck in her throat.

What kind of days were these?

Why was it so difficult to change one’s life?

Things went on like this for a couple more days. The people under them finally couldn’t bear it any longer. They were dissatisfied and complained to Chen Li, “Why do we eat the worst? I heard that some people eat steamed buns and some even have stuffed steamed buns.”

Chen Li didn’t know what to say. He looked at Ning Shu, who said lightly, “Those people have military merits to their names, have killed enemies on the battlefield, and have seen mountains of corpses and swam in seas of blood. It’s normal for them to eat well. It’s already good enough for us to have food.”

“If you can survive on the battlefield, you will naturally eat the same thing as them,” said Ning Shu.

Although the people were aggrieved, they couldn’t really say anything more.

They were supposed to attack five days later, but suddenly on the third day, an order came down from above, telling them that they were going to attack the city.

That morning, there was an extra piece of cornbread.

It turned out that they wanted everyone to be full.

“Wasn’t it five days?” asked Chen Li with a frown.

Ning Shu pursed her lips. She knew that General Liu didn’t trust them. If he wanted to change the time, no one would stop him.

Chen Li took out two horses, one of which was given to Ning Shu. He then flipped onto the back of the horse, fixed a saber from one of the soldiers they killed earlier around his waist, and held a sharpened wooden stick in one hand.

Chen Li straightened his back like a javelin. It seemed as if he was ready to face death. However, Ning Shu could see that Chen Li was very nervous. The blue veins on the back of his hand holding the wooden stick were clear proof.

Ning Shu ordered everyone to tidy up their appearance, tie their belts, and comb their hair neatly before heading to the entrance of the village.

She had discussed with Chen Li earlier and only brought a hundred people on this campaign. The rest were either too young or too old. There were also a few women.

Ning Shu urged her horse forward and headed towards the entrance of the village.

There were already many people gathered at the entrance. Ning Shu almost choked to death when she saw the rowdy scene. They wanted to siege the city like this?

Those with hoes had hoes and those with rakes had rakes in their hands. Clearly, everyone was a farmer here.

Even the tense Chen Li was a little speechless when he saw this scene. He didn’t feel so nervous anymore. He always thought that his group was the worst, but at second glance, it was not bad.

Although they only had sticks and no armor, the formation of his troops was quite good.

Ning Shu rode the horse over and cupped her fists to salute General Liu.

Unlike before, today’s General Liu shone brightly like a diamond. He was wearing silver armor, and the tassel on top of his helmet was like a fire under the sun.
