255 Hun camp
"Put away the weapon, tie it up and take it away."
After four days of marching, except for finding some plants and replenishing some water, this Qin army did not receive any water replenishment at all, not only the people could no longer bear it, but the horses also died in a large area.
This army is trying to survive by all means, but the problem they face is not as simple as a lack of water.
Dysentery, hallucinations, prostration, all kinds of problems followed, but there was no way to solve them at all, even Li Mu had already fallen, and he could only move forward with the help of others.
"It's... It's people... People, a lot of people, and tents ... Lots and lots of tents! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the scout fell to the ground, convulsing all over.
"Quick, get him to the back of the dunes, block the sun, feed him some water, hurry."
Seeing the soldiers scrambling to help the fallen scout, Meng Tian hurried forward, muttering in his heart that hope was not an illusion or a mirage, that they were on the verge of collapse and could not bear even the slightest setback.
"It looks like it's real."
After climbing several sand dunes in quick succession, he finally saw several scouts lying behind an extremely high sand dune.
Three steps and two steps hurriedly ran forward, Meng Tian was surprised to find that there was a large group of Hun tents in front of him, not only tents and people, but also a small lake and countless cattle and sheep!
"Seeing that the person closest to our side is not, give me a shot, on time!"
You can't run over and look, but they have guns in their hands!
As long as you can hit that person, or that person reacts when they hear the gunshot, it must not be a mirage.
"Hit, what's the daze?"
"Card... It's stuck. ”
"Do you have a maintenance bag?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Hurry up, get all your weapons clean, and then don't rush to fight until I get back."
Hearing the order, several scouts hurriedly began to disassemble their weapons to clean up, while Meng Tian hurriedly walked back, if it really arrived at the territory of the Huns, this shot was designated to startle the snake!
He had to get all the weapons of the soldiers ready to fight at once, and he had to clear all the weapons first.
Less than half an hour later, Meng Tian returned, and this time he brought a company over, and after everyone was ready for battle, he changed his plan again.
"Don't hit these people, just shoot me in the direction of the man."
After arranging it, Meng Tian directly took out the binoculars, he wanted to see how these Huns would react when they heard the gunshots.
The Huns had not heard the sound of gunfire, and the sudden strange noise would inevitably attract their attention, but they might not have looked for the sound, which was safer.
Bang~~!
"Quick, hide!"
The gunshots rang out, and just a second later, Meng Tian quickly asked everyone to hide behind the sand dunes, not even daring to show their heads!
"Are you stupid? Didn't I say, tell you not to hit anyone? ”
"I didn't, I didn't even aim at anyone."
The shooter was obviously also confused, he obviously shot at the man at least ten paces next to him, how did he know that he had inexplicably hit the man's leg?
Obviously, these people don't know any theories such as thermal expansion and cold contraction, metal twisting, etc., and they march in the desert for a long time, and the temperature difference between day and night is too large, and the barrel and crosshair are affected to a certain extent.
Especially the barrel, even the slightest slight deformation of the barrel will lead to a huge deviation when shooting accurately at long distances!
After a while, Meng Tian cautiously showed his head, and found that the person who was shot had left, and no one noticed this side at all, they probably still thought that some powerful animal had injured him.
"You all stay here for me, closely observe the movements of these Huns, and notify me as soon as you find someone coming!"
Turning back again and joining the army, Meng Tian was ready for battle, and now they saw not only the enemy, but also the hope of life.
"Soldiers, let me tell you one thing, not far ahead, on the edge of this desert, is the tent of the Huns, their cattle and sheep, and the water source you crave!"
Meng Tian's voice directly caused everyone to cheer, but this cheer was extremely short-lived, and the soldiers were afraid that this cheer would attract the attention of the Huns, after all, most of them did not know how far away the Huns were.
"Listen to me, eat as much as you want, don't keep the rest of the water, drink everything that should be drunk, I want you to cheer me up, and then we will go to level the Huns!"
......
"Master, you can drink some too, just drink it all, don't worry, there is a small lake in front, and when we lay down there, we won't lack anything."
Handing the only little water left to Li Mu, looking at Li Mu's weak expression, Meng Tian was worried for a while.
After this long march, the last trace of mustard in Li Mu's heart has been completely eliminated, and now Li Mu is an elder in his eyes, a master worthy of his respect.
"Or... It's better to keep it, the current situation of the troops is not optimistic, and the loss of war horses is large, the Huns have lived on horseback since childhood, and this battle may not be easy to fight. ”
Li Mu finally didn't choose to drink the only sip of water left, he tried to support his body, trying to get up from the plank, but failed after a few attempts.
Now he is too weak.
"Old general, don't worry, this battle is easy to fight, you can drink this water."
After asking people to send some dry food to the soldiers in charge of keeping an eye in front of him, Bailimeng turned around and found that Li Mu was still unwilling to drink it, and even he was a little anxious.
"Don't take it lightly, I know that the gun is very powerful, but it's just a more convenient bow and arrow, and the battle ultimately depends on the charge to decide the winner, and this battle is not easy to fight."
Whether it was Meng Tian or Baili Meng, they both had expressions of ambition on their faces, which made Li Mu very worried, and after pushing the water bag again, he still had to warn these two people.
It's hard to get out of the desert, and you must not be careless at this time.
The current Qin army is fighting against the water, there is no way to retreat, if the Lord will be so light on the enemy, the consequences are unimaginable.
"Don't worry, master, I took a look at the terrain, this battle is very easy to fight, master just drink this water, eat something, and then wait for the news of our triumph! Baili, go, follow me to the front and have a look. ”
After that, Meng Tian directly threw the water bag to the soldier who was in charge of taking care of Li Mu, picked up Baili Meng and walked forward.
"Hey......"
Li Mu wanted to stop the two of them, but he didn't make a sound, his throat was too dry, and finally watched the two leave, and he could only sigh.
