Li Dao was killed, and the 5,000 Xiliang soldiers collapsed, and after leaving behind corpses all over the mountains, they fled down the mountain in embarrassment.

When Niu Fu saw this scene, he was angry and anxious, and he couldn't care about being sad about the loss of a general, so he immediately organized his soldiers to attack the mountain.

Sima Yi looked at the mountain where the arrow rain flew, but the haze on his face became heavier and heavier.

In the next few days, Xiliangjun's nightmare really began.

Niu Fu launched several waves of men and horses, and launched seven or eight strong attacks on Beishan, but he found nothing except the loss of troops and generals.

After paying nearly 3,000 casualties, Niu Fu realized that the Soviet army had been prepared for a long time, and it was impossible for them to storm Beishan and recapture the water source.

In desperation, Niu Fu had to give up attacking the mountain.

Just giving up the Beishan water source does not mean that Niu Fu and his soldiers do not have to eat, drink and Lasa, and naturally have to open up new water sources.

So, Niu Fu had to take a risk and send soldiers to sneak out of the city and try to get water outside the gate.

Su Zhe had been prepared for this.

He expected that Huang Zhong would succeed, and he also expected that Niu Fu would not be able to stand his thirst and send troops out of the city to get water, so he divided tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in advance and ambushed near the water source outside Huguan, waiting for Niu Fu to throw himself into the net.

Everything was as he expected.

For several days at night, there were nearly 1,000 Xiliang soldiers, carrying buckets, quietly feeling out of Guancheng, touching the nearest river, trying to steal water back.

The results are all the same.

The Soviet army ambushed in all directions, and arrows rained down, shooting the Xiliang army who stole water, and sparing no life.

After several days and nights of fighting, Niu Fu lost two or three thousand soldiers and horses, but only stole back less than thirty buckets of water.

This little bit of water is naturally a drop in the bucket, how can it be enough for his more than 30,000 Xiliang troops to drink.

The water source was cut off and the stealing water failed, and Niu Fu finally fell into a situation where he had no choice but to suffer from thirst with his soldiers.

At this time, Su Zhe made matters worse for him again.

Every day from dawn, Su Zhe sent soldiers, shirtless, carrying large buckets of water, openly in front of the kettle, and took a bath in broad daylight.

Washed to the happy place, these soldiers also played the Songkran Festival, did not cherish it, and poured water on each other one by one.

This scene can make the Xiliang soldiers in the city itch to see the root of their teeth, and they can't wait to switch down and grab the bath water of the Soviet army and drink it.

Of course, Niu Fu knew that this was Su Zhe deliberately giving them a mental blow, but he could only hold back his anger and strictly ordered the soldiers not to leave the customs.

As a result, the Xiliang soldiers, who were so thirsty that their throats smoked, could only watch the Soviet army perform a waste of water in front of them, and used the basin of water, which was as precious as gold in their eyes, to wash their stinky feet.

In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed, and the Xiliang army has reached the point of madness, the army is full of grievances, and many people have reached the verge of collapse.

In desperation, Niu Fu could only order the killing of horses and bloodletting, and there was horse blood to barely quench his thirst.

As a result, hundreds of Xiliang horses became their water bags, mercilessly slaughtered by the Xiliang people, fighting for their blood like wild beasts.

Niu Fu's move temporarily alleviated the crisis, but it couldn't last long.

After all, horse blood is limited, even if the war horse is killed, it will only barely last three or five more days, if it can't solve the fundamental problem of water source, it will eventually collapse.

On that day, the pot closed the big tent.

Niu Fu, who had been muttering for a long time, waved his hand helplessly: "It's really not good, just slaughter the last more than 1,000 horses and drink blood." ”

The generals on the left and right breathed a sigh of relief and waited for his words.

"No!" In the crowd, there was a cry of opposition.

That person was Sima Yi.

He stood up and said sharply: "Huguan has reached this point, it can be said that it is dangerous, if the situation is critical and you have to abandon the pass and leave, there is not a single war horse, General Niu thinks, can your 30,000 soldiers and horses escape the pursuit of the Su thieves?" ”

Niu Fu was dumbfounded.

"So what do you mean? Even if you don't slaughter these thousand horses, if you can't last a few more days, the soldiers will have to die of thirst, do you know what the consequences are? Niu Fu asked angrily.

Sima Yi pointed to the outside of the tent and said: "Now that the early spring has passed, the rainy season is coming soon, there are more and more dark clouds in recent days, maybe it will rain soon, maybe we just need to hold on for a few more days." ”

Ushisuke raised his head and looked out of the tent, the sky had indeed been overcast for a few days, and it looked like it could rain at any time.

"The weather is unpredictable, who knows, what if he doesn't rain for seven or eight days?" Niu Fu shouted again.

Sima Yi was speechless, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Thundered~~

At this moment, in the sky outside, a heavy spring thunder suddenly sounded.

Sima Yi's body was shocked, and he rushed out of the tent in a hurry.

I saw that the mountain wind outside suddenly rose, and the dark clouds that had gathered overhead for a few days were overhead, and the black clouds that had become turned into a blink of an eye were overwhelming, and the thunder came down from time to time, and the traces of lightning were faintly seen.

There are signs that a spring rain is about to fall.

"General Niu, see it, God is helping us, it's finally going to rain!" Sima Yi pointed to the sky and shouted excitedly.

Niu Fu and a group of generals also rushed out, seeing the scene of black clouds pressing on the top and lightning and thunder, the haze on their faces was completely gone, and they were all so excited that they laughed wildly.

"Great, God help me, God help me, tell the brethren to take out all the guys who can hold water, and catch as much rain as possible!"

The order was passed down, and those Xiliang soldiers who were so thirsty that they were about to smoke finally saw a glimmer of hope, and they were all excited and crazy, and they returned to the light as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

So, in the Huguan camp, countless buckets were carried out, and the soldiers even took off their helmets, looking at the sky, waiting for this life-saving rain.

"I didn't expect it to rain? Zhongda, it seems that this time, God is on your side. ”

Zhang Chunhua, whose lips were dry, looked at the black pressure above his head, and his pretty face also swelled with surprises that he couldn't believe.

Sima Yi snorted coldly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of pride.

Outside Huguan, the camp of the Soviet army.

The sudden spring thunder also alarmed the Soviet soldiers, and the big guys all came out of their tents, looked at the sky and began to discuss.

"What's going on, why does it look like it's going to rain?"

"Then what should we do, then we cut off the water source of the Xiliang Army, wouldn't it be in vain."

"Yes, these have been thirsty for those Xiliang dogs for so many days, is it going to be a failure?"

There was a lot of discussion in the camp, and many of the soldiers were a little lost.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the luck of the Xiliang people is really good, I saw that I was about to collapse with thirst, but a rain came in time, alas, ......"

Zhang Liao looked at the lightning and thunder in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh.

Su Zhe looked disdainful and sneered: "Without my Su Zhe's permission, does he dare to rain casually, joke!" ”

Zhang Liao's body was shocked, looking at Su Zhe's sarcastic and domineering expression, he suddenly thought of something, and his face swelled with surprise.

Su Zhe closed his eyes slightly, connected the quantum meteorological satellite with brain waves, and gave an order.

"Close the pot for me, and the clouds in the sky will all disperse."
