"We have just used up 100,000 bags of water in the water bladder, each person brought an average of five water bladders when we set out, and now the average person uses up two water bladders, and we have walked exactly five hundred miles, that is to say, exactly half the distance from the Hami Oasis, we are still enough for this water, but there is no backup, in the desert, anything can happen, and the most terrible thing is that there is no water, so I suggest that we start to strictly control the water use now, and each person deducts half a bag of water on average. Although it may be superfluous to do so, I am not afraid of ten thousand, but I am afraid of ,,,,,! ”

"You're right!" Wei Qing nodded: "Just pass the order according to your proposition!" Be prepared for everything! ”

Early the next morning, Wei Qi'a commanded the soldiers to collect 100,000 water bladders, Wei Qing also knew the importance of this water bladder, so he simply ordered Wei Qi'a to be responsible for the management of these 100,000 water bladders, and the guide work was completely in charge of Abri, and the army set off again.

This time, the soldiers not only often looked at the sky and were afraid of sandstorms, but also looked at their feet from time to time, afraid of fire scorpions, and now they finally understood that this seemingly calm and empty desert was really terrifying.

OK. Although I experienced sandstorms and fire scorpions, God took care of them after that. Although it was still hot during the day and freezing to death at night, they were still smooth for more than ten days this time, and they did not encounter sandstorms or fire scorpions again.

Wei Qing looked at Wei Qi'a from time to time in the past three days.

There are already some soldiers' water bladders empty, and they can only be provided with some water by other companions, and the vast majority of soldiers have not much water in their water bladders, if they don't go to Hami again, they can only use the 100,000 bags of water that Wei Qi'a is responsible for.

This morning, there was an unexpected cloud in the air. Although the rain is not expected, but after all, it can be a little cooler, and in front, the oasis is not far away, only a stone's throw away, everyone is happy to move the color, this oasis is still not small. Although 200,000 people cannot enter all, there is no problem for 350,000 people to enter the oasis, since no trace of the enemy has been found here, then rest here for a few days, and 350,000 people come in every day to rest, which should effectively restore the physical strength of the soldiers.

Wei Qing raised the water bladder and took a big sip of water, his water bladder was almost empty, and he didn't dare to drink water indiscriminately before he reached the oasis.

There was a clattering sound all around, and many people were gulping water.

Abri smiled and pointed ahead, "See?" That lake is the source of water that nourishes this oasis, and we all rely on this lake to replenish water? ”

"It's also called a lake!" Shi Qian pouted on the side: "It's just a small blister, the radius is only ten zhang!" ”

"It's already rare!" Wei Qi'a interjected on the side: "In the desert, a finger-thick water source can save countless lives!" ”

"Let's go!" Ma Chao urged on the side, and he felt that his throat was about to smoke.

"Wait!" Wei Qing said quietly: "Let's not go in yet!" ”

Several generals looked at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing issued a series of orders: "First send a thousand people into the oasis, deploy in all directions, maintain order, and then take turns to enter the oasis in the following order: first the wounded and sick soldiers, then the logistics miscellaneous service, then the Western Regions Army, and then the Han Army, the generals of each team of small capital commanders and below can enter with the team, and most of the generals of the capital and above are waiting outside, all the soldiers have drunk water, and the senior generals will go in again!" ”

Several generals held out their thumbs in unison.

Wei Qing was able to arrange the army so calmly in the face of such a big temptation, and the arrangement was so reasonable, it was really a general's demeanor.

Hundreds of wounded and sick soldiers were helped into the oasis, and these soldiers looked at Wei Qing who was standing at the entrance of the oasis with gratitude.

They took their time to the water's edge.

In fact, the water is neither clear nor clean, and it smells strange, but compared to the water that has been stored in the bladder for more than 20 days, this water is simply a sweet spring.

The soldiers lowered their heads to fill the water bladder, and some of them simply lay on the water's edge and stuck their heads directly into the water and drank it.

A soldier drank a lot of water in one go, burped slowly, stretched his waist contentedly, and fell heavily to the ground.

On the side, another soldier laughed: "Zhang Laosan, get up quickly!" So many people waiting for us outside? Don't be too scoundrel! ”

Zhang Lao Sanli ignored it.

One of the chiefs next to him couldn't look at it, and shouted: "Zhang Laosan, get up quickly, go out and line up!" ”

Zhang Laosan didn't move, but several people fell down on the side.

The soldier who laughed at Zhang Laosan was shocked and shouted, "There is a ,,,,,! in this water He didn't finish his sentence, and he fell down with a thud.

Wei Qing was shocked, he jumped off his horse and galloped all the way to the water's edge, only to see that most of the hundreds of wounded and sick soldiers had fallen, all bleeding from their mouths and noses, and the blood was purple.

"Someone poisoned the water!" Bai Buxin also rushed over, and when he saw this situation, he also screamed in shock.

"Hurry up and pass on to the military doctor!" Wei Qing hated it, he really wanted to raise his hand and slap himself, since it was the enemy's territory in front of him, why was he so careless, didn't he try whether this water was poisonous or not?

Abri had also come to Wei Qing's side, but he didn't look at the soldiers who fell to the ground at all, but his eyes were fixed on the water, suddenly, Abri drew his sword, and stabbed out with a very fast sword, and the sword brush entered the water with a bang, and when he came out of the water again, there was a terrible thing on the sword.

The whole thing was a large, thick and long worm, with a nearly transparent body, only a little spot in the middle and rear parts, and Abri's sword pierced the worm's body, and the worm was not dead for a while, but wriggled on the sword.

"It's a multicolored poisonous insect!" Abri squeezed a word out between his teeth.

Wei Qing let out a long sigh: "Could it be that there are such evil things in the only water source!" ”

"It's not born in this water!" Abri looked at the poisonous insect hatefully, shook his hand, and threw the poisonous insect into the water, and the waves on the water surface turned over, and a colorful poisonous insect jumped out of the water, biting the body of the multicolored poisonous insect that was stabbed to death, and sank into the water.

Abri was stunned for a moment, and said to Wei Qing: "This water is undrinkable, General Wei, let everyone withdraw!" Don't be in the oasis, if someone can't help but take a sip or accidentally get caught in the water, they will be poisoned to death! ”

Wei Qing shook his head helplessly, and had to order all the soldiers in the oasis to withdraw, leaving some people to bury the soldiers who died of poisoning here.

"General Wei!" Abri said: "We have to be careful from now on, this colorful poisonous insect is not born, this is obtained by the Wusun people through the mating of different poisons, this thing is very rare, as far as I know, there are only two living ones in the whole Wusun, and they are now putting both of them in this water, they are determined to let us die of thirst in the desert without drinking water!" ”

"What a poisonous ploy!" Mulan listened to it and couldn't help blurting out a word.

"They are already enemies of the entire Western Regions!" Wei Qi'a said solemnly on the side: "This oasis is a necessary supply place for all those who walk in the desert, in the Western Regions, no matter what strategy you use, you can't poison it with water, because it means that all people who walk in the desert will die of thirst!" ”

He said, turning to look at Abri.

Abri nodded seriously: "Eagle!" He said.

Wei Qi'a saw Wei Qing's puzzled expression, and explained to Wei Qing: "The oasis is the life of the entire Western Regions, if anyone dares to destroy the oasis, everyone will attack it in groups, this time the Wusun people actually use such poisonous tricks in order to fight against the Han army, we will release the Condor to spread the message to the countries of the Western Regions, this time, our allies are all over the Western Regions, except for Wusun, the Western Regions will all surrender to the feet of the Han Emperor!" ”

Wei Qing listened to these exciting words, but there was no trace of joy, he sighed, and replied: "I'm afraid it's impossible, because we are all going to die of thirst in the desert, this time, the Wusun people have won!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Wei Qi'a replied: "We still have 100,000 bags of water, and the experience of our people in the Western Regions proves that if we reduce the amount of water to one-eighth of the normal. Although it is very sad, it will not endanger lives, Turpan is 700 miles away from here, if we can reduce the drinking water to one-eighth of the normal, we can support 500 miles! ”

"What about the remaining two hundred miles!" Wei Qing asked.

"Bet on your life, whoever has the greatest life will arrive alive!" Wei Qi'a replied dryly.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to win the bet!" Wei Qing said with a gloomy face: "Even if there is a fate, what awaits them in Turpan must be the enemy's sword!" ”

"It's another gamble!" Abri Interface: "We released the Divine Eagle, if any of the countries near Turpan bring water to aid us according to the custom of the people of the Western Regions, we have hope, with water and reinforcements, we have hope to win!" ”

Wei Qing lowered his head and was silent.

In fact, the statement of Abri and Wei Qi'a is completely about living in death, if you ask for it, you can ask for it, and if you can't ask for it, you can only die, however, is there no other way? With this 200,000 army, can they only gamble their lives like this? The result of this gamble, I am afraid that the loss side accounts for ninety percent of ninety, and it is really self-defeating to gamble like this.

"There's another way!" On the side, Bai Buxin stood quietly, hearing that Abri and Wei Qi'a had already come up with the idea of gambling their lives, and couldn't help but interject.

Abri and Wei Qia looked at Bai Buxin at the same time.

They didn't believe that Bai Buxin had a better idea, and if neither of them could think of another way, how could the Han people, who had never entered the desert, think of a better way.

Remember to read it: convenient for next time, or.
