Tuoba Tao thought about it very thoroughly, and before he went far, someone came to ask, and he still looked like a fierce god. It is understandable that the two sides are facing each other, and any unfamiliar face must be vigilant.

Mai Xiaoji showed the gold medal, but the other party did not hesitate to bow down, not daring to ask more.

It really works!

Mai Xiaoji smiled, took the gold medal back into his arms, and wandered around the mountains looking for water.

"This kind of small hill, where does the stream come from?" Ji Manli disagreed, and asked again: "Xiao Ji, you just think Tuoba Tao is boring, so you take this perfunctory, right?"

"No, I'm really looking for water. Mai Xiaoji waved his hand and slapped it again, "It's not a stream, it's an underground water vein." ”

"You guys are really brothers! We have enough supplies, what do we lack and can still be teleported, what do you care about other people's lives and deaths?"

"Now that everyone is on alert 24 hours a day, I can't sleep well when I go back, so I'd better find something to do. It's like you, you don't eat or drink, it's really enviable. ”

Through night-vision perspectives, Mai Xiaoji took a lot of photos of the situation in the vicinity and sent them to Li Daoyuan, asking the water conservancy expert to see if it was possible to dig out the water.

In order to improve efficiency, Li Daoyuan contacted Shen Kuo again, and the two discussed together, and soon sent the results, according to the direction of the mountain range and the natural ravine, there are water veins here, and water can be produced by digging ten meters deep.

Seeing this news, Mai Xiaoji was very happy, but when he learned the location of the water vein, he couldn't laugh a little, and he was impartial, just below the big tent of Tuoba Tao.

Really good at choosing places!

In ancient times, even when marching and fighting, the position of the emperor was not chosen randomly, and the feng shui coordinates were emphasized. Just let him move out, and dig up his old bottom by the way, it's so bad to say!

It's okay to dig it out, if you can't dig up the water, Tuoba Tao must think that Mai Xiaoji is playing tricks on him, and it's hard to say if he has murderous intentions, and at that time, he can only choose to run away immediately.

No matter how you say it, it is the lives of 50,000 soldiers, time waits for no one, Mai Xiaoji returned to the big tent, the time here has passed more than an hour, and the time is almost nine o'clock in the evening.

At the moment of the great enemy, the soldiers did not take off their armor, and sat on the ground in groups of three or five back to doze, still holding weapons in their hands, and as soon as they heard the order, they immediately got up and went into battle.

And the horses were also fed enough fodder to prevent them from making noises.

In the big tent, Tuoba Tao was pacing on the ground, very anxious, and when he saw Mai Xiaoji coming in, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Mai, can you have a strategy to break the enemy!"

Ahem!

Coughing deliberately twice, Mai Xiaoji said with his hands behind his back: "Brother Tao, I haven't fought before, how do you know the strategy to break the army." However, I looked at the nearby feng shui and thought there was one place where water might be dug up. ”

"Where?" Tuobatao's eyes lit up.

"I said, you can't be angry. ”

"How can this be, naturally I don't care. Tuoba Tao immediately assured.

"Brother Tao is extraordinarily lucky, he has God's blessing, the water source is here, dig ten meters deep, and the water may come out. McEch pointed his finger downward.

Tuoba Tao's face was full of helplessness, Mai Xiaoji was going to tear down his marching tent, and he was not biased at all. But at this time, he didn't think too much about it, and hurriedly shouted outside: "Please General Murong come here." ”

The guards guarding outside hurriedly went to Tongyu, and soon, a burly general came in and knelt down on one knee towards Tuoba Tao to salute.

"General Murong, you don't have to be rigid about etiquette, take people to dismantle this big tent immediately, dig deeper, and find a water source. Tuoba Tao commanded.

"Your Majesty, you should think about a breakthrough strategy now, this time the grass and trees are sparse, and it is not like a place with water. General Murong suggested.

"Do as I am told. Tuoba Tao grimaced.

"Yes!"

How dare General Murong disobey, he hurriedly responded, hurriedly went out to call people, hurriedly demolished the big tent, and dug the ground overnight to find water.

Mai Xiaoji proposed to go back and rest, Tuoba Tao did not stop him, he didn't have to sleep tonight anyway, he had to be on guard at all times, the enemy army would carry out a surprise attack overnight.

Returning to his own tent, under the supervision of Ji Manli, Mai Xiaojipan sat down to practice for a while, and was about to rest, when he heard cheers outside.

It must have been dug out of the water, Mai Xiaoji had to put on his clothes again, Ji Manli hurriedly grabbed him, "Now that the water source has been found, why do you want to go out again?"

"Isn't it stupid? I'm such a big hero, Tuoba Tao still has to ask people to come in and invite me? It's better to go out first. ”

Walking out of the tent, Mai Xiaoji saw a dirt mountain nearby, and the place where Tuoba Tao had placed the big tent before was surrounded by many people who were talking about it.

Mai Xiaoji walked over, the crowd took the initiative to disperse, and sure enough, he saw that in the deep pit below, a spring was bubbling up, and according to this posture, it would soon overflow the entire big pit.

"Brother Mai, you are really a god!" Tuoba Tao was excited, and praised without hesitation.

"The small skills of carving insects are not enough to worry about. Mai Xiaoji shrugged, in fact, he was also very happy, and once again verified that Li Daoyuan and others were really great water conservancy experts.

"Brother Mai, when the war is over, you must return to the dynasty with me, and you can be a pillar country!" Tuoba Tao said happily.

was promoted so quickly, Zhu Guo, he was domineering when he heard this title, he was a big official, Mai Xiaoji excused himself: "Brother Tao, I am willing to help you, it is a brotherly relationship, an idle person, not suitable for being an official." ”

"Haha, it's too early to talk, let's talk about it later. Tuoba Tao laughed.

Finding a water source greatly boosted the morale of the army, in addition to solving the needs of life, it also made the soldiers feel that following the emperor to travel, everything has God's blessing. Mai Xiaoji chatted a few words, returned to the tent, and could sleep in peace.

I don't know how long it took, Ji Manli woke up Mai Xiaoji who was sleeping, "Xiaoji, get up quickly, there are soldiers and horses coming outside." ”

"Sleep soundly, we don't have to participate in the war, whatever!"

"Either leave right away, or follow Tuobatao. Ji Manli said.

It made sense, and Mai Xiaoji hurriedly got up and got out of the tent. Before dawn, close to dawn, the enemy army is very good at choosing the time, and this is the time when people are most tired.

Tuoba Tao was standing on the newly dug mound, with a pool of water in front of him, waving his hand constantly, directing the soldiers to pull out the formation.

"Brother Tao, has the enemy chosen to attack the city?" asked Mai Xiaoji.

"It may be tempting, but it is not to be taken lightly. Tuoba Tao said.

"From which direction?"

"North. Tuoba Tao stretched out his finger and said, "That side may be the place where his troops are most concentrated." ”

As he spoke, he had heard the sound of horses' hooves clearly, and Rouran also belonged to a nomadic people, living on horseback all year round, and in terms of the level of horseback riding, he was afraid that he was still above these cavalrymen.

"Report! The enemy army is less than 100 meters away from the city. "Someone came to report.

"Give me orders, don't act rashly. ”

Less than half a minute after walking, someone came to report again: "Report! The enemy troops are less than 50 meters away." ”

"Ten meters to shoot arrows!" Tuoba Tao ordered.
