In ancient times, when soldiers fought, they all had food with the army. The earliest is Xiaomi, then called Xiaomi. Later, when the yield of rice and wheat in the south was large, millet was gradually replaced by rice, and the dry food was generally Guo kui (a very hard cake) and steamed bread.

China has a long history, different times, different armies, and different food for marching and fighting, because marching and fighting is not like the saying goes? The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first? In the war, sometimes the grain will be delivered in advance, and sometimes the grain will go with the army. After all, every war needs a huge number of troops, and to fight militarily, we must first ensure our own physical strength, and food is fundamental.

First, the Mongolian army fought and ate air-dried mutton. Modern Mongolians also eat mutton and drink koumiss, and so did ancient Mongolians in marching and fighting. Mutton is dry when cooked, which is not only well preserved, but also convenient to carry. Mongolians usually March at once. Riding a horse does not affect eating mutton and drinking koumiss, supplementing physical strength and not affecting the March process, so every time the enemy is not ready, the Mongolian army has already called.

Second, the Han army fought and ate corn, steamed bread and pot helmets. Millet is also millet, which has been rich for a long time, so millet is one of the main rations. From the Qin Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, millet has always been a staple food. In the late Tang Dynasty, rice and wheat in the south began to be widely enriched and circulated to the north. Rice began to slowly replace millet and become one of the main rations, but because these need to be processed, when marching and fighting. Sometimes it is too late to make a fire and cook, and dry food is also very important. Dry food is generally Guo kui and steamed bread. Many people don't know what a pot helmet is. Hemp helmet is a very hard cake. To what extent can it be used as armor? Be sure to soak in water or eat hot soup when eating. And steamed bread is said to be promoted by Zhuge Liang.

As for vegetables or meat, don't think about it. Sometimes there are some pickled products. After all, vegetables are not easy to keep fresh. It is impossible to eat beef and horse meat in meat. Cattle and horses are strategic materials, so it may be some chicken, duck and fish, but it is estimated that meat is rarely eaten.
