The sun was strong, and the army advanced against the scorching sun.

There was not much water left in the jug that each soldier carried.

"My lord, a soldier has fainted." Liao Hua came to Zhao Hui's side and whispered, his lips were already chapped.

"The team moves on, I'll take a look." Zhao Hui said.

Coming to the side of the fainting soldier, Zhao Hui squatted down and touched his neck, opened his eyelids and looked at it, and said, "The dehydration is too serious." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Hui took off his water bottle, pinched the soldier's mouth with one hand, and brought the water bottle to the soldier's mouth.

After seeing the soldier's face recover a little bloody, Zhao Hui said, "There's no big problem, you two will carry him under the tree over there to rest first." ”

"Bring your kettles."

Zhao Hui poured out a little of the water in his kettle and handed them the kettle.

"Be here with them."

Today's sun is more poisonous than the previous days, and the consumption of water far exceeds Zhao Hui's budget.

From the time the first soldier fainted, all the way along, there were people fainting all the way.

Every time a soldier faints, Zhao Hui will always leave two physically exhausted ones to take care of him.

The advance of the great army was not slowed down. It's just that I don't know how many people will be left in the army when I get to the city of Beiping.

The water in Zhao Hui's kettle has also been divided.

Fortunately, the sun is about to set, and the hardest time has been passed by them.

There were 15,000 people, but now there are only 12,000 left.

Another 3,000 people, some fainted on the road, and some were left to take care of those who fainted.

It's just nearly fifty miles away from Beiping City.

"My lord, why don't you camp here and rest, the brothers are no longer able to walk." Guan Hai's voice was very hoarse, and the sound in his throat seemed to be rubbed out.

Zhao Hui said: "We must rush to Beiping City today. ”

Gongsun Chan is also less than 100 miles away from Beiping City. Zhao Hui is not much ahead now.

"But if they go on, their bodies will burn out." Guan Hai Road.

These soldiers are the most elite in Zhao Hui's hands, and Zhao Hui doesn't want to take his elite troops because of the county of Beiping.

With these elite soldiers, even if they fail to get Beiping County this time, they will be able to defeat Beiping County in the future, as well as countless other counties.

"The whole army will rest for an hour, and then send people to the vicinity to see if there is any water source." Zhao Hui said.

Although the soldiers still had dry food on them, it was difficult to swallow because of the lack of water and dry throats.

You can only eat it slowly little by little.

Originally, a flatbread could be eaten in three or two bites, but now it is very laborious to eat a little.

"My lord, there is a small village five miles to the north."

Half an hour later, Guan Hai came back and reported.

"Lead the way." Zhao Hui said.

The small mountain village is hidden in the mountains and forests, and Guan Hai happened to see the cooking smoke before he found this small village.

"Everyone is holding on for a while, and if you walk two miles ahead, you will see the village."

There is a small stream in the village, and the whole village lives on this stream.

"It is forbidden to go down the river, and the water must be boiled before it can be drunk." Zhao Hui ordered.

Although everyone was eager to jump into the stream, not a single soldier in the whole army dared to disobey the order that had been given.

Zhao Hui took a few soldiers and walked up the creek without seeing anything unusual.

This place is close to Beiping City, Zhao Hui still has to be careful.

Especially for water sources, if someone puts medicine in the water, more than 10,000 people will have to be accountable.

This is a living water, and if you want to be drugged, you must have someone upstream, and there must be a lot of poison.

No anomalies are the best.

More than 10,000 soldiers, after drinking water in batches, finally felt a lot better, and after eating dry food, one by one either lay down or sat to rest.

"Look around, order five thousand and follow me when your body is almost recovered." Half an hour later, Zhao Hui said.

Although I agree with what Guan Hai said, the whole army rests. But Zhao Hui's decision to rush to Beiping City today has not changed.

"Zilong, you take the rest of the people, rest here tonight, and come as soon as possible tomorrow morning."

"Lord, let me go with you." Zhao Yundao.

Zhao Hui shook his head: "You have to stay." ”

The sun had already set, and Zhao Hui needed to hurry at night for the remaining fifty miles.

The 5,000 people led by Zhao Hui had the best physical fitness, and they rested for more than an hour before and after, and their bodies were almost recovered.

There was less scorching sun at night, and the moon was high, and the speed of the march of five thousand men was a little faster than during the day.

Before dawn, Zhao Hui appeared under the city of Beiping with 5,000 people.

The soldiers in the city have been taken away by Tian Kai before, and now in Beiping City, although there are more than 100,000 people, the defenders are only 500.

"Gongsun Taishou returned, quickly open the city gate." Liao Hua came to the city gate and shouted.

In the past few days, people in Beiping City have been panicking. The defenders, in particular, were very afraid that it would be Zhao Hui's men who arrived first.

They didn't know how Zhao Hui would treat them.

Hearing the voice of the city, several guards on the city wall cheered: "Gongsun Taishou is back, Gongsun Taishou is back, go and open the city gate." ”

In the past few days, they have been looking forward to Gongsun Zhan's return, and when they heard the voice of the city, they forgot to verify, directly opened the city gate, and let Zhao Hui's soldiers and horses enter the city.

As soon as Zhao Hui's men entered the city, they immediately controlled the city gate.

All of the 500 defenders who resisted were killed, and those who did not resist were imprisoned.

At the same time, while it was still dawn, Zhao Hui sent a large number of people out to watch all the officials in the city.

In the face of murderous soldiers breaking into the mansion, few of these officials dared to resist.

Those who dared to resist were all judged to be Gongsun Zhan's cronies, and all of them were killed.

Divide 3,000 soldiers, and control the entire Beiping City as soon as possible. All important people are under Zhao Hui's surveillance. In case they were secretly making some small moves when Gongsun Chan appeared, to respond to Gongsun Chan.

Gongsun Zhan is only later than Zhao Hui now, and he has not yet been defeated. What these officials and Haoqiang in the city think, only they know now.

Zhao Hui didn't have time to take care of them now, but he couldn't let them go, so he could only gather them together to facilitate monitoring and supervision.

At dawn, the defenders on the city wall of Beiping had been completely replaced by Zhao Hui's men.

Gongsun Chan also rushed overnight, and at dawn, he had already appeared at the Shili Pavilion outside Beiping City with a large army.

"Haha, Zhao Hui'er definitely didn't expect that I would rush overnight."

Gongsun Zhan received the news that Zhao Hui was still fifty miles away from Beiping City yesterday.

In his opinion, Zhao Hui couldn't rush to Beiping City until around noon today.

"Everybody pick up the pace." Gongsun Chan ordered that he should go to the city first, and then rest for an hour, ready to beat Zhao Hui.
