As he was talking, the shouts, gongs and drums of Shule City suddenly disappeared, and hundreds of Han soldiers poured out of the city. As the saying goes, there is borrowing and repaying, and it is not difficult to borrow again, just rest assured, I will return these arrows to you one by one! When Pu Nu heard this, he suddenly realized, he was angry, pointed at the city with a knife, and roared: "Geng Gong, there is a kind of battle to the death in Kaicheng, why are you hiding in the city like a turtle?" What are you doing with all your intrigues! Han Jun laughed.

It turned out that these Han soldiers hanging on the city wall were all scarecrows, wearing the clothes of Han soldiers, and in the middle of the night, they looked like they were real. As for the wailing voice after being hit by the arrow, of course, it was dubbed by Han Bing. This night, the Han army won tens of thousands of arrows without much effort. Pu Nu hated and hated the city several times, but was persuaded by King Huyan.

Geng Gong saw that the Xiongnu neither attacked nor retreated, but only surrounded the city tightly, and did not worry, but made people guard the city carefully, he knew that the stream flowing into Shule had been blocked by the Xiongnu. It wasn't until the water became less and less that Geng Gong woke up, without water, how could this city be guarded? He couldn't help but be anxious, and summoned all the generals and said: "Recently, the water flowing into the city has been getting less and less, and it must be the Huns who have blocked the water source!" It is about to enter the middle of summer, and the summer in the Western Regions is especially hot, there is no water, the morale of the army will be chaotic, the morale will be declining, and the city will be difficult to resist. Now, I have to send troops to get water, otherwise I will die of thirst! It's just that since the Huns blocked the stream, they will inevitably besiege the city and defend the water with heavy troops, and it will be difficult to seize the water! Li Dare shouted: "Brother, Hugh said that the Huns blocked the water stream, but it was not blocked, and we have to go out to kill him nine in and nine out, no matter how many Huns there are!" Sitting in the sun at the head of the city every day, I am bored and suffocated! Everyone laughed, and they couldn't think of any other way but to venture out of the city and grab water. Qianqian

This night, the moon is in the sky, and the four fields are silent. Geng Gong ordered a thousand soldiers, took advantage of the night, and quietly walked down the mountain, only halfway through, he had been discovered by the Huns. Geng Gong simply jumped forward and went down the mountain. The Huns did not come out to meet the battle, but when they heard the sound of a tie, thousands of arrows under the mountain were fired together, densely packed, Geng Gong picked left and right, and opened the bow and arrows, but the Han soldiers behind him could not support it and fell down. Geng Gong had no choice but to retreat into the city, but the Xiongnu did not chase after him. Back in the city, Geng Gong thought about it, but couldn't think of a way, he couldn't help sighing, and said, "Is the sky going to be a man?" If Wu Meng is here, he must have a plan to teach me. Fan Qiang, Gao Feng and the others looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, but there was nothing they could do, so they had to say: "Brother, do you want to go and kill again at night?" Geng Gong thought about it for a while, and felt that the Huns were tightly defended, and there were really no flaws, so he had to say: "Alas, there is no other way, I have to rush and kill again tomorrow to explore the reality of the Huns." ”

The next night, Geng Gong opened the city gate again, led the troops to kill out, the Xiongnu seemed to have expected, as last night, just shot the Han army with arrows, not let the Han army break out of the encirclement. Geng Gong sighed, and had to retreat back to the city, with a few soldiers and more than 300 killed. Geng Gong said: "I'm afraid it won't work to seize the water source like this." 35xs I'm afraid, the water hasn't been recaptured yet, and our army has already suffered all casualties! Sighing a few times, Geng Gong's heart welled up with pride, and he said angrily: "The Huns are prepared, they clearly want to die of thirst for us, hmph, we can't let them succeed!" From this day on, water will be put in large buckets and placed in the barracks, and distributed in the same amount every day. Water, which can only be drunk, should never be used for anything else! Violators will be killed! At the same time, from tomorrow onwards, we will dig wells in the water source, and I will not believe it, and we will not be able to dig water! Fan Qiang was puzzled: "Big brother, Shule City is in the middle of the mountain, the terrain is extremely high, what is the use of digging wells?" Can there be water coming out! The generals thought so and opposed the digging of the well. Li Dang shouted: "Brother, it's better to raise the whole army and fight to the death with the Huns, if you want to die, you have to die on the battlefield, I don't want to die of thirst here!" ”

"The city is in the people, and the city is dead!" The generals roared loudly, and the angry voices crossed the sky, this group of bloody men will write a singing and crying stroke in Chinese history!

On this day, when Geng Gong was digging a well, someone shouted at the mouth of the well: "Big brother, big brother!" Geng Gong looked up, but it was Fan Qiang, Geng Gong said, "What's the matter?" Fan Qiang said: "Oh no, no!" Geng Gong hurriedly climbed up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Geng Gong was taken aback and said: "The strong enemy is on the side, the civil strife is not stopped, and in our army, there are also new Shule and Jinman people, if we don't deal with it in time, the army's heart is unstable, and our army will die without a place to bury!" The two hurried away. When they arrived at the scene, they saw the people of Shule holding high wooden sticks, the crowd was excited, Gao Feng ordered the Han soldiers to bend their bows and arrows, and waited for the battle, and the two sides were deadlocked, and they were about to break out. Seeing Geng Gong coming, Gao Feng shouted: "General Geng!" ”

Geng Gong looked at this group of poor people, all of them were in rags, their lips were cracked, and there was a thick layer of scabs, and he couldn't help but feel heartache, and walked towards the people of Shule, holding the hands of several elders, and said with tears in his eyes: "Father, old folks, let you suffer!" If it weren't for me, how could you be so miserable? Our army came to occupy Shule, intending to protect you, but unexpectedly, it backfired, but it brought you a deep disaster! All the sins, I alone, if you don't get rid of your hatred, you will arrest me and sacrifice me to the Huns, and the Huns will let you live! After speaking, Geng Gong closed his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and waited for the people of Shule to come and tie them up.

Elder Shule was greatly moved, and said in a trembling voice: "General Geng is benevolent, why don't we know? This time I came to grab water, but I was also forced by thirst, and there was no way. General Geng, look at these people behind me, they have been thirsty for many days, and if they have no water to drink, they will die of thirst! Today, General Geng moved with affection and reason, although we are grass people, but we also understand the grace of dripping water, the truth of reciprocating springs, from now on, even if we die of thirst, we will not cause chaos to the Han soldiers! After speaking, he threw the wooden stick in his hand on the ground, and when the rest of the Shule people saw it, they also threw away the wooden sticks.

"And eight buckets of water."

"This ......"

Gao Feng had no choice but to obey. After a while, six large buckets of water were carried over. The people of Shule were greatly moved, and they knelt on the ground one after another, saying, "Thank you for the kindness of the general's life!" After the people had finished distributing the water, they departed one by one with great gratitude. Geng Gong breathed a long sigh of relief, only to feel that there was smoke in his mouth, he couldn't hold on anymore, he sat on the ground, and the soldiers handed over the water, Geng Gong dropped a few drops into his mouth, shook his hand, and handed it back.
