The fierce fighting of the day was over, and on the battlefield of the dry water river, the corpses were piled up like mountains, the blood flowed like rivers, knives, guns, bows and arrows, and shields were discarded everywhere, and the wounded war horses roamed among them, letting out bursts of sorrow, looking for the trace of the master, the scene was unbearable, and the Shura Hell was nothing more than that

Countless blood has been shed, the victory or defeat is still not divided, the Han, Qiang, Qian, Hu Quartet forces, a total of 220,000 horses, intricately entangled, you have me, I have you, surrounded by each other, bloody battles to such a point, the competition is the command ability of the commanders of both sides, who can break the deadlock, seize the initiative, who has a chance to win!

In general, strategically Ye Luosu has the advantage, as the ambush party, the soldiers and horses of the Qian nationality are more concentrated, and occupy the surrounding hills, there is a geographical advantage, and the most important thing is that their food, grass, and drinking water are sufficient, which can be slowly consumed and won without a fight!

On the contrary, Xiao Yi was slightly better in tactics, and successively used the 'Camel City' and 'Fire Bull Array' to kill and injure a large number of enemy soldiers, depleting the opponent's morale, and his own losses were much smaller, but the Han army also had an Achilles' heel, not drinking enough water, and it was difficult to fight for a long time!

In the final analysis, the life of both sides is in the word 'water', the Han army has water, it can persevere, completely defeat the Qianren, the Han army has no water, thirst is unbearable, it will be defeated without a fight, the problem is, if you want to find a water source in the dry water river, it is like nine days to catch the moon, how difficult it is!

"Qiyu Metropolitan Governor, there is not much drinking water left in the army, and it will last for half a day at most, and the brothers are thirsty and unbearable!" 'Fat Liu', who was in charge of logistics, walked over, his face was full of frustration, there was no drinking water, he couldn't cook, people can't eat raw rice, right?

"The rest of the drinking water is given to the wounded soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers quench their thirst with horse blood, and when the horse blood is gone, let's drink the enemy's blood, and persevere to the end, to see who consumes whom?"

Xiao Yi's little face was gloomy, on the battlefield, the soldiers fought hard, sweating like rain, they needed a lot of water to replenish, drinking blood can only temporarily quench their thirst, and it will be even more uncomfortable later, if you want to maintain your combat strength, you must find a water source!

Along the way, the army has always been in a state of water shortage, relying on the 'digging army' to look around, barely replenishing some muddy water, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, but after entering the dry water river, there was yellow sand everywhere, and not a drop of water could be found, it was really a Jedi!

Dry water river, just listen to the name, there was water here, Xiao Yi specifically inquired, decades ago, there was a big river here, the water quality is clear, moisturizing the grass and trees, the people of Xiliang like to come here to graze, as a blessed land!

But after a strong sandstorm, the river disappeared, and the incident caused a great deal of panic, and people thought that this place was cursed by demons, and if it were not for the power of demons, who could change the mountains and rivers and change the rivers into no rivers?

Xiao Yi doesn't believe in any demons and monsters, if there is, he is definitely among them, as for the reason for the disappearance of the river, it is nothing more than the movement of the earth's crust, the dislocation of rock plates, the original surface river, has become an underground dark river, and the position can't move far, it is very likely to be at the foot!

"The Metropolitan Governor...... Water...... The last general has found water! The figure flickered, and the yellow squirrel rushed over, covered with dirt, revealing only two black and white eyes, and one hand clenched tightly, as if grasping some treasure!

After the war, all the troops fought bloodily, with countless casualties, even Xiao Yi went into battle and personally fought with swords and thieves, but the 'digger army', not a single soldier was deployed, all stayed in a safe place, and their task was only one - to find a water source!

"Governor, please see, this is just excavated, and there is water here!" The yellow squirrel ran to the front and cautiously stretched out his hand, which turned out to be a handful of dirt, a handful of slightly damp dirt!

"Found there, how long will it take to get out of the water?" After taking the soil, Xiao Yi also showed a smile on his face, being able to dig wet soil means that there is a water source underground, but I don't know how deep it is buried, whether it is enough for tens of thousands of horses to drink!

"On the east side of the valley, there is a little grass and trees, and it took three feet to find some wet soil, and the last general inspected the trend of the leylines, and thought that there was an underground river there, with abundant water flow, enough for the army to drink, but if you want to dig it out, it will take at least three days!" The weasel is not a genius in the tomb robbery world, the terrain of the mountains and rivers is clear at a glance, and he has found a water source in a Jedi!

After listening to the report, Xiao Yi's heart suddenly cooled, it was a good thing to find a water source, but the excavation time was too long, the army fought fiercely, and the physical consumption was very large, and it would collapse if there was no drinking water for a day, so what if you insisted on staying there for three days?

However, after all, there is a glimmer of hope, human beings stand on the top of all things, and with wisdom, they can turn hope into reality, and even create miracles!

"Let's go, let's take a look, the soldiers are on an expedition to a foreign land, killing thieves for the country, the heavens bless, and they will definitely give us a sweet spring to help our army!" Xiao Yat cheered up, surrounded by a group of generals, held torches high, and walked towards the place where the water source was found!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The dry water river is desolate, known as the 'Death Jedi', except for a depression on the east side, where a small number of bitter thorns grow, this plant is thorny, drought-tolerant, and tenacious, comparable to the cacti in the desert!

No matter how drought-tolerant plants are, they also need water, and the fact that bitter thorns can survive means that there is a water source underground, judging from this, thousands of 'diggers' have dug desperately and finally found wet soil, but it will take some time to get enough water!

On the originally flat ground, hundreds of sand pits of size were dug out, three or four zhang deep, shallow for more than a battle, Xiao Yi climbed the rope and went down to check it out in person, the situation was not bad, the soil in the depths was already very wet, and if you squeezed it hard, you could feel the water contained in it, the army was in the Jedi, and the water was life!

"Tell the order to go down and spread cowhides on the four walls of the bunker, and put utensils under them, and the governor of Pontus will do it himself, and ask for water from heaven!" After inspecting a few bunkers, Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, showing a hint of naughtiness, if the legend is correct, he can really conjure water!

"No!"

At the sound of the order, the soldiers immediately went into action, laid the cowhides, put the utensils, and then the cowhides were not enough, so they cut the skins of the dead horses on the battlefield and covered hundreds of sand pits, large and small!

If others say that they are sacrificing to the sky and asking for water, the soldiers will definitely spit on his face, and most of the governors will be completely different, 'Believe in Xiao Lang, get eternal life', it is already an iron law in the army, and it has never failed, besides, everyone in the world knows that 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' is the reincarnation of the greedy wolf star monarch, who is in charge of killing in the world, such an identity, it is not difficult to ask for a little nectar from God!

To worship the sky, you must be pious, first kill the green ox and white horse, stain the altar with blood, and then light a bonfire, instead of burning incense, tens of thousands of soldiers face the east, bow down and kowtow, and pray for the protection of the gods!

Looking at Xiao Yi again, he took off his full armor, changed into a set of gossip water and fire robes, held a sword, danced in the moonlight like water, and there were bursts of sacrificial words......

Xiao Yi, the governor of the Western Metropolitan of the Han Dynasty, would like to sincerely announce the gods of the sky and the earth, mountains and rivers,

I am now leading the dignified teachers to defend the land that the ancestors of the Han family worked hard to manage,

The name is justified, the ghost is subdued by the gods,

Determined to be firm and unswerving.

Han and thieves do not stand together, there are clear precepts in ancient times,

Huayi must be strictly distinguished, and the spring and autumn are righteous,

Born as a soldier, died as a soldier's soul,

I also hope that the gods will protect and give nectar to quench the thirst of the soldiers..................

On the high post, Ye Luofu's eyes were like lightning, staring at the Han army's every move, he saw the 'trapped camp' waiting for the battle, and the armor did not take off, and he saw the 'digging army' digging around, looking for water sources, and also saw Xiao Yi's horizontal sword sacrifice to the sky, asking for nectar!

"Ghost-faced Xiao Lang, wise as a demon, can he really ask for nectar?"

Ye Luosu asked himself over and over again in his heart, and the answer was: Of course it is impossible, in order to set up an ambush and annihilate the Han army, he repeatedly patrolled in the Hexi Corridor, and finally chose the Jedi of Kushuichuan, how many rangers have checked, there is not a single river, a puddle, or a well!

The army will die, no water will die, this is the iron law on the battlefield, Ye Luofu has repeatedly calculated, as short as one day, as many as two days, the Han army that has been cut off from the water source will inevitably collapse, and his own side can win without a fight, which is also the main reason why he refuses to retreat!

I have ninety percent certainty in my heart, but I still have a little doubt, what is in the encirclement is 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', a man who is extremely cunning and good at creating miracles, if he really succeeds in seeking water, the 'dead dragon' of the Han army will be resurrected, and the situation will be reversed, Immortal Heaven will bless, don't let that happen!

"Pass the order, kill a hundred deserters, let the wizard sacrifice the blue sky with human heads, don't rain nectar, and completely die of thirst for the Han army!"

You sacrifice to the sky, and I sacrifice to the sky, it depends on who is the darling of the heavens, right?
