Chapter 617

Although there was nothing in front of him, Daqin Ruozan seemed to be able to see a pair of eyes that were always looking at him.

This is an invisible contest, and Daqin Ruozan will not allow himself to lose no matter what, let alone to a 17-year-old boy.

"But are you really sure we'll be able to outlast them?"

The fire tree returns to the Tibetan way, and it is always so sharp.

Daqin Ruozan was silent for a moment.

This is a race, in this race, whether it is him or Wang Chong, no one has any advantage, and naturally no one can confidently say that they will be able to persevere to the end.

"No matter what, we're not going to lose. I won't lose!"

Daqin Ruozan clenched his fists fiercely and said.

"It's a pity, if only I had a little more time. ”

Daqin Ruozan looked at the top of the tent, but he didn't say this.

"Whoa!"

It was too late to say that it was too late, and at this time, both Daqin Ruozan and Huoshu Guizang heard a sound of wings fluttering, as if something had been left on the top of the camp.

In just a few moments, a black pigeon slid down from the top of the tent and into the tent.

"Huh?"

Daqin Ruozan and Huoshu Guizang glanced at each other, and they both saw the same surprise in each other's eyes. This is no ordinary pigeon, if he remembers correctly, they just received one of these not so long ago.

The second one came so soon, and it was definitely not normal.

"I'll take a look. ”

The fire tree was silent for a moment, and then strode past Daqin Ruozan. Untying the gaiters from the legs of the black carrier pigeon, Huoshu Guizang glanced at it roughly, and gradually frowned, his expression becoming more and more strange.

"What's wrong?"

"Congratulations! What you were expecting has happened. ”

Huoshu Guizang flicked his fingers and flicked the letter paper in his hand into the hand of Daqin Ruozan. Daqin Ruozan was surprised in his heart, looked down, and his whole expression changed.

"Great!"

Daqin Ruozan looked at the news in his hand and couldn't help but cry out, ecstatic.

"Time is on our side. ”

Daqin Ruozan's originally frowning brows suddenly stretched, and the gloomy clouds between his eyebrows were suddenly swept away.

There is only one message from the black pigeon:

The appearance of Wang Zhongji shook the entire plateau continent, and once again made the entire Usi-Tibetan Empire feel an unprecedented threat, and even the Tibetan king felt deeply uneasy, and the whole person could not eat and sleep.

You must know that Wang Zhongji is one of the few people who has hit the plateau and even almost occupied the capital of the king of Uszang. The Zao king's fear of the king's loyalty was even greater than the plague that was spreading on the plateau.

In order to deal with Wang Zhonghei, the king of Zao even dispatched the royal line of Lhasa, the royal line of Yaze, and a part of the royal capital to rush to Longxi to support the general Wang Xinuoluo Gonglu.

You must know that the Zao king has always been detached from the four royal lines and rarely intervenes in wars between the empire and other kingdoms. One can imagine how jealous the king of Zao was for Wang Zhonghei.

It was also a bonus for Daqin Ruozan, who undoubtedly had earned more buffer time.

"Hahaha, pass the order, postpone it for two days, and fight again on another day!"

The laughter of the Great Chin Ruozan resounded throughout the camp, and this latest order quickly spread throughout the Mong and U army.

Let's go and eat the rice of Erhai together. ”

Daqin Ruozan laughed and walked out of the tent with a red face.

......

"The situation is not good, the Tibetans have started to make fires and make food!"

On the mountain, several generals of the Annan Metropolitan Protector Army gathered together, and Lin Wushou looked at the mountain and frowned into a Sichuan shape.

Uszang and Mengshezhao are now sending spies to keep an eye on the movement on the mountain every day, but why aren't the soldiers of the Annan Protector keeping a close eye on them?

The number of fires in the camp of the Tibetans in Usz was far less than that in the first few days, but in a short period of time the number of fires has increased tenfold.

"The Tibetans are eating the food of the Monshephs. ”

Lin Wushou's expression was heavy.

It is no secret that the food of the Tibetans of Uss was cut off, and they began to eat the food of the Monshephs very early. But this time things were completely different.

The fact that the number of stoves has increased so much means that the Tibetans have fully accepted the food of the Monshephs.

- A people on horseback really accepted the food of an agrarian people.

"If that's the case, it's going to be troublesome, the Tibetans can accept the food of the Mengshezhao people to solve the food problem, but we can't solve the water problem, so we will lose. ”

Luo Ji stood beside him, his face full of worry.

"I have to tell Childe about this. ”

Zhao Hong turned his head to look at the eagle beside him.

"Eagle, you have the closest relationship with Childe, so it's up to you to inform Childe. ”

"No!"

The breeze was blowing, and the eagle stood on the top of the hill with a calm and motionless expression.

"Childe already knows, so we don't need to say more. And Childe has enough things to worry about, so don't bother him with this kind of thing in the future. ”

60,000 soldiers, up and down, the entire southwest, including the imperial court, all the hopes of everyone were pinned on Wang Chong alone.

The eagle follows Wang Chong every day, only he knows how much pressure Wang Chong is under now, if it is not limited to his own ability, the eagle really hopes that he can replace Wang Chong and share the pressure for him.

- And after all, Childe is only 17 years old!

Hearing the eagle's words, everyone fell silent all of a sudden, Luo Ji, Lin Wushou, and Zhao Hong turned their eyes to look in the direction of the mountain, where was it, everyone faintly saw a back, sitting there cross-legged, motionless.

......

"Water, water...... Is there really no other way?"

Wang Chong sat cross-legged alone, his mind going up and down.

He had already noticed the movement of Daqin Ruozan and Huoshu Guizang, and the problem of food for the Tibetans in Wusi was not so easy to solve. The difference in water and soil adaptation and food culture is not something that Daqin Ruozan can express.

However, there is no doubt that Dachen Ruozan expressed his determination with his actions. At least this situation will be fine for a few more days.

However, Wang Chong had no time.

The water source of the Annan Protector Army has been completely exhausted, and the war horses can no longer be killed, otherwise the Mongol-Ukrainian coalition army will attack, and the Tang Dynasty will definitely lose.

Now Datang has reached the brink of collapse on all sides.

"Water, water, there must be some way. ”

Wang Chongpan sat on the ground searching his intestines and scraping his stomach, thinking about everything he knew about water in his past and present lives. But still nothing.

Mountains!

When Wang Chong chose this place as the base for the army to camp, it was destined that the water source was an unsolvable problem.

Time passed slowly, and Wang Chongpan's mind went blank as he sat there.

The fact that this war can hold on to this point is actually beyond his expectations, but he can't lose it no matter what.

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, the sound of rolling stones came to my ears.

"Be careful!"

Wang Chong looked up, only to see a commotion in the distance, and what appeared to be a cavalryman's horse accidentally kicked off a huge rock and rolled towards a spearman at the bottom of the mountain.

"Buzz!"

Wang Chong's gaze moved with the stone, and suddenly a spiritual light crossed his mind.

"yes!ha, how did I forget!"

Wang Chong looked excited and suddenly burst out laughing.

"I've figured out a way! Daqin Ruozan, you're doomed. ”

......

Boom!

The sword swung down heavily, and with a click, the stone peeled away to reveal a smooth section, but nothing happened. A group of people looked at Wang Chong, who gave this order, suspiciously.

"Childe, what are we looking for this time?"

A military general asked.

Wang Chong gave this somewhat strange order half an hour ago, but he never said why.

"Don't worry so much, do what I say. ”

Wang Chong flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

Boom!

Second, third, fourth...... , Wang Chong led people to dig everywhere in the mountains, no one knew what Wang Chong wanted to do, even the eagles were confused.

Only Wang Chong knew what he was looking for, he was looking for a water source!

All mountains have a certain capacity to store and retain water, which is a shallow surface water source that can be directly drunk if it flows through a crack in the rock.

Although it is not much, it is precious to the current Annan Protector. A little bit of water is enough to change the current situation of the Annan Protector Army, and greatly boost morale.

Wang Chong and Daqin Ruozan, both of them are in extremely bad situations. Although Daqin Ruozan found a way to replace it with the food of the Mengshe edicts, this was not a cure for the symptoms at all, it was only a temporary expedient measure, and it could not be supported for too long.

Wang Chong knew in his heart that this was an invisible race, whoever couldn't hold on first would fall first!

"Come again!"

Wang Chong flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

Once, twice, three times...... Although he failed again and again, he never dug out the shallow water of the mountain that Wang Chong wanted, but Wang Chong was not discouraged. There should be absolutely shallow water on the surface of any mountain, but more or less, and the currents converge to show different directions under the surface of the mountain.

In Wang Chong's memory, even in places like the Western Regions, there is such a thing as a "karez" formed by shallow water from the mountains, and there is no reason why there is no place like the southwest where such a tall mountain is not.

- What's more, not long ago, there was such a big rainstorm that you couldn't even tell friend or foe when you stood on the opposite side. In such a short period of time, there is no reason why there is no water source on this mountain.

Even if the mountain can't stop the water, there is no reason how fast it flows.

"Anyway, there must be something here!"

Wang Chong clenched his fists fiercely, and his eyes were extremely bright. No one on the entire mountain knew what he was doing, and many people's eyes were full of suspicion, but Wang Chong believed that he would be able to find a water source.
