Chapter 200: The water source is cut off
In the past few days, Meng Yi has been designing training methods and various training props for soldiers in his camp, and he will go to the border every day to think about the side, and his life is quite peaceful.
Since the withdrawal of the Xiongnu side, there has been no major incident, as if the Xiongnu had stopped, and it was obvious that King Zuo Xian would not do this.
The calmness before the storm, the more so, the more a big conspiracy must be brewing for the Huns.
A few days have passed, and in the early morning of this day, a rapid and loud voice came from a distance, saying, "It's a big deal~!" ”
The sound broke through the sky and spread into the distance, and after Meng Tian heard this voice, he instantly got up from the bed, and with a copy of it, the battle armor was already on his body.
After so many years of cultivating habits, he was already familiar with unexpected things, and he stepped out of the account and asked, "What happened?!" ”
"The army's drinking place was poisoned, and now many soldiers have been poisoned."
When marching and fighting, food, grass, and water sources are indispensable, but now the water source has been poisoned, which means that they are now in a predicament without water.
To make matters worse, the weather was hot, and the soldiers trained hard enough every day that if there was no water, everyone would die of thirst.
Since there are no rivers around, the water they drink comes from ancient wells in nearby villages, which is really difficult right now.
"Send people to look farther into the villages, and in any case find a new source of water, or everyone will die." Meng Tian said.
At this time, the temperature reached 40 °, not to mention people, even livestock could not carry it, Meng Tian never expected that the Huns would be so vicious that they would cut off the water source of the Qin army.
"It's useless, since the Huns have cut off our water source, they will inevitably poison all the ancient wells and rivers within a radius of 100 miles, and they will not give us any chance to survive."
At this time, Meng Yi walked out of the tent.
Meng Tian saw Meng Yi coming and asked, "Xiao Yi, how do you know?" ”
"During this period of time, the Huns did not move, and I vaguely felt that something bad was going to happen, but I didn't expect them to cut off our water source."
Meng Yi had already guessed that the Xiongnu would take action, but what he didn't expect was the water source.
It seems that there is also a smart and powerful person among the Huns, this kind of hot summer, you can resist three or two days without eating, but if you don't drink water for a day, I'm afraid it won't take long to die of thirst.
"So what do we do now?" Meng Tian asked.
Meng Yi looked at the sun hanging in the sky, it should have been just morning and it was already very hot, and he couldn't imagine how hot it was at noon.
Meng Yi thought for a while and said, "Big brother, I need more than a dozen people to walk around with me, I can't figure out how to come up with it." ”
Seeing Meng Yi's confident look, he asked, "Do you have a good way in your heart?" ”
"There is a solution, but it will take a few days to determine if it is feasible." Meng Yi said.
"Okay, I'll send twenty good men with you."
After Meng Yi responded, he instructed: Helan Jingde will not stop there, he can cut off our water source without knowing it, and there will definitely be other actions. ”
"You're saying he's going to bury all of us?"
"However, water and grain and grass are indispensable for marching and fighting, and now that the water source has been cut off, if the grain and grass are destroyed again, we will really have to finish."
What is the saying? It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and if there is no food, then everything is in vain.
"Understood, I'll send someone to strengthen the garrison of grain and grass." Meng Tian immediately ordered.
As soon as Meng Yi took two steps, he suddenly thought of a question and asked, "How many days is the grain and grass in the camp enough?" ”
"Ten days."
"Is the escort officer who is escorting the grain and grass already on the way?!" Meng Yi asked suddenly.
"We have three more days to get to the camp." At this point, Meng Tian suddenly realized.
If the Xiongnu dared to burn the grain and grass, they would undoubtedly put themselves in danger, and maybe the whole army might be wiped out.
In comparison, it is more cost-effective to rob grain and grass, and it is far more dangerous to take food from the tiger's mouth than from the sheep's mouth.
Therefore, the next goal of the Huns was not to destroy the grain and grass of the Qin army's camp at all, but to transport the escort officers on the way.
As the saying goes, blessings are not double, and disasters are not singular.
Just when Meng Yi thought through this, outside the camp, there was a soldier who rode a fast horse and abandoned his armor to the barracks, and he said loudly: "The grain and grass have been robbed. ”
As Meng Yi expected, the Huns robbed the Qin army of grain and grass and destroyed the water source of the Qin army.
And if the Qin army wants to live, it can only withdraw its troops, however, who dares to withdraw without the order of the First Emperor?!
In the absence of a military order, withdrawal is tantamount to desertion.
But if they don't leave, the food, grass and water will be destroyed by the enemy, and there is only one dead end waiting for them.
"Damn! This Helan Jingde turned out to be so despicable. Meng Tian scolded.
"The art of war is cloudy: the soldier is not tired of deceit, he just uses some means, which is not despicable, after all, on the battlefield, as long as the means that can win are good means." Meng Yi looked very open.
In the rapidly changing era, any method is a good way as long as it can succeed, white cats and black cats, the one who catches the mouse is a good cat, and this is the truth.
Seeing that Meng Yi could have such an awareness, Meng Tian also felt very pleased.
"However, according to what I know about Helan Jingde, he shouldn't be able to think of this method." Meng Yi said.
During the time when he was in the royal court, although he was not familiar with King Zuoxian, he had heard of this person from Hermione's father.
Helan Jingde is brave and good at fighting, and has the ability to be a husband and a man, but if you want to talk about the means of conspiracy, it is still a little worse.
Helan Jingde's strength lies in his personal ability, if he really talks about these messy strategies, he still can't think of it.
Therefore, Meng Yi suspected that Helan Jingde had a powerful military advisor under his account, and he should be giving advice.
……
On the other side, a hearty laugh came from King Zuo Xian's tent: "Haha! The military advisor is really clever, cutting off the grain, grass and water of the Qin people, I am afraid that their end is coming, this king admires, admires. ”
I saw a man in a Taoist robe sitting upright on one side, his demeanor was calm, and he looked like a fairy-like Dao bone.
Seeing Helan Jingde become a "military advisor", it is really not easy to become a military advisor at his age.
"The prince praised it falsely, this is just a small test, not enough to worry about." The man said.
"Don't be modest, although our sneak attack was successful, the Qin army's guards are still not weak, but the military division can win without much effort, and this alone makes this king sigh to himself." Helan Jingde said.
As she said, the water source and grain and grass are heavily guarded, although it is not as tightly guarded as the Qin army camp, but not everyone can succeed in a sneak attack, and it is impossible to do it without some real skills.
The man still said indifferently: "As long as you can deduce all the possibilities in your heart, you can predict all the impossibilities, so as to come up with your own countermeasures, and all problems will be solved." ”
It's very simple to listen to him, but it's really too difficult to put it into practice, and it's all possible to deduce all possibilities, except for geniuses, who can do it?!
"This king has something unclear, the military advisor is a Qin person, why do you want to turn against this king?" Helan Jingde asked.
His military advisor had only recently been brought under his command, and he had told him the news of his son's killing.
"Because I have a grudge against the Meng family, as long as I can take revenge, I am willing to do anything." The military advisor said.
"What hatred?"
"A great enmity that does not share the heavens."
"Could it be that your relatives also died at the hands of the Meng family?" Helan Jingde asked.
The man nodded slightly: "So to speak." ”
"Since the military advisor and the Meng family also have a grudge, then let us destroy the second son of the Meng family together." Helan Jingde said.
After having a military advisor, Helan Jingde will be so arrogant, during this time he has seen his true ability, he is like a god, and he is clever, which is breathtaking.
"Good!!"
……
In the camp of the Qin army, the water source and grain and grass were destroyed, which undoubtedly put the entire Qin army into an unprecedented predicament, it seems that this time, they really want to kill them all.
Since everything has happened, it is too late to regret it, difficulties come one after another, but they have to be solved one by one, so Meng Yi took the team to the field to find a new water source.
Because Meng Yi's Shangjun was originally a remote place in northern Xinjiang, and now the camp where they were located was even more far away from the people.
Even in the nearby villages, the gathering camp is fifty miles away.
Meng Yi led the team and walked on the road, all of which were desolate and depressed places at a glance, and there was even a semi-desert area with no end in sight.
It was noon, and the scorching sun was scorching on the skin, like a knife cutting itself.
"My lord, it's too hot this day, and the brothers really can't stand it, so why don't you find a place to rest for a while." Someone said.
Meng Yi was not a ruthless person, so they found the only big tree in the wilderness to rest.
While resting, what made Meng Yi sigh very long was that the desolation and hardship of this place were beyond his imagination.
After a few days of searching, although it was almost hot and stupid, but, fortunately, there was still some gain.
Back in the camp, Meng Tian and Fusu had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Meng Yi coming back, they hurriedly asked, "But you thought of a new water source?" ”
In the camp of the Qin army, many people have not drunk water for several days, and it is still a hot day, and they are already thirsty and thirsty, and many people lick their tongues, eager for Meng Yi to bring good news.
"The water source has not been found." Meng Yi said.
As soon as this remark came out, countless people were disappointed.
But the next sentence shocked everyone, and Meng Yi said: "There is no water source, but I can conjure water." ”
