The slave army, however, was unusually excited, and when they had withdrawn from a safe distance, almost everyone who had taken part in the battle and was lucky enough to survive was excited about the fierce battle that had just passed.

To be honest, everyone does have enough qualifications and sufficient reasons to be excited, as we all know, the regular army, especially the knight troops, is not at all a kind of miscellaneous troops that the slave army can compete with, but this time it was really a head-to-head battle, and the slave army really won more with less! 300 against 2,000, and the loss of hundreds of opponents at the cost of only a few dozen casualties was a complete victory!

But Wu Qi did not get carried away because of this, on the contrary, he faintly raised a trace of worry. At this time, Wu Qi still maintained enough sobriety, which was the survival instinct he had cultivated since he was a child. The reason why this achievement was able to be achieved this time was because of the surprise attack launched by one's own side, secondly because countless traps had been made in advance at the battle site, and thirdly, it was to wait for work, it can be said that the right time and place and one of them have been taken advantage of, but in the end it still can't offset the disadvantage in the hands of the people, and if you talk about the combat quality of individual soldiers, your slave army is indeed slightly inferior, there is no doubt about this, and it is obvious. Wu Qi was worried that if the battle changed from a surprise war to a war of attrition in the future, how long would his side be able to hold on? His slave army was still too immature compared with the private army of other families, and while the emotions were extremely excited after the battle, it also showed that there was a huge uneasiness in everyone's hearts, that is, uneasiness against a powerful opponent, and a real veteran of a hundred battles should be calm and calm at this time.

Wu Qi immediately convened an emergency meeting of everyone around him, and at the meeting, Wu Qi first expressed his deep condolences to the two soldiers who had unfortunately died. Wu Qi announced on the spot that the big head and slanted eyes are strong men and heroes, and their families will receive generous pensions after their deaths, and as long as Wu Qi is here in the future, their families will be arranged by him. Wu Qi also analyzed the current situation with everyone, Wu Qi said frankly: "Our opponent seems to be strong, but it is not really strong, as long as everyone is united and united, it is not difficult to defeat them, in addition, we are not alone, we have other friendly troops in other places, just like when Xiangyang City was in turmoil, as long as everyone is united, victory will eventually belong to us!" Wu Qi was embarrassed to say some things, the big head and slanted eyes were not heroic deaths, in fact, if these two usually three sticks can't beat a fart can do it according to the pre-explanation, the sacrifice is simply impossible, and not only the two of them, but also the other soldiers who hang the lottery, but now is a very moment, Wu Qi knows the priority, in order to gather the hearts of the army, there will be a heroic sacrifice.

Wu Qi's remarks are a shot in the arm, and to some extent, it can be said that there is a must and there is no need. The reason why these people are still free people is because of Wu Qi's existence, otherwise it would be difficult for a few of them to remain. At present, following Wu Qi to win this war, not only is money and freedom at your fingertips, but if you defeat it, then your life, the wife and even the children you already have will all go with the wind. So even if it's just for the sake of children, even if it's just for survival, everyone will fight to the last drop of blood, not to mention that it is not easy to make a person lose his freedom, and it is even more difficult for a person without freedom to get free, as for making a slave who has gained freedom willing to be a slave again, it is basically impossible.

So, fighting is their only way out.

In fact, Wu Qi and the others were able to retreat safely, on the one hand, because the enemy was afraid of falling into a trap or ambush again, you must know that the intelligence showed that Wu Qi had thousands of men and horses, but there were less than 500 people and horses at one stop just now, and on the other hand, because of the temptation, the temptation of the water source.

As the saying goes, I don't know the blessing in the blessing, I didn't think that this time this group of private soldiers who usually do the power and blessing can be regarded as really experiencing the discomfort of a lack of water, just three days, no water to wash the face can be endured, the fucking water can't even be opened to supply, it's a person can't stand it, plus you have to rush during the day, around noon, the sun shines, the young ladies are okay, they can shrink into the carriage to avoid the cold, and others can only resist against the sun, so that the demand for water is greater. As of the end of the war, ordinary soldiers have long been thirsty and their throats and eyes are about to burst into flames, so there will be a crazy attack just now, as the so-called "one blow, and then three and three exhaustions", in fact, as long as Wu Qi's side can grit his teeth to resist this wave of suicidal attacks, there is no need for more, as long as it takes two more days, the men and horses under Wang Dashao's hands will inevitably mutiny.

But Wu Qi is not a god, he still overestimated his opponent, he thought that Wang Dashao would take decisive measures and strictly control the water, who would have thought that people would not limit the supply of fresh water to the noble young masters and ladies at all.

The war is developing in the direction preset by Wu Qi, and then under the leadership of Wu Qi, Wu Qi's side gave full play to the essence of the "lone wolf tactic", the enemy has a large number of people, and the overall combat effectiveness is strong, but because the carriage is dragged down more, so the marching speed is not as fast as Wu Qi's side, and because of the rush to fight with Wu Qi's main force, the team of 20,000 people has become a long strip that stretches for several kilometers because of the old and weak men, women, and the elderly.

On the one hand, Wu Qi sent a small force of flexible mobile troops to frantically harass the enemy, and on the other hand, he specially selected lone personnel on the opposite side to attack, so as to ensure that the opponent continued to bleed. Wu Qi's idea is very simple, no matter how powerful the opponent is, as long as they continue to bleed, in this vast desert area, they will have only one final ending, and that is to fall!

Wang Dashao's side finally took this oasis at the cost of losing more than 300 cavalry and horses, he had the idea of controlling the water resources and strictly supplying them according to his needs, but the people who were already thirsty and killed red-eyed people could not control others for a long time, in fact, they did not even touch a single hair of the enemy, but this did not prevent them from claiming to be the victors and vanguards, they felt that the water source in their hands should be obtained by them first, after a simple test of the water with livestock, a group of people hurriedly began to grab water, first put their heads into it and drank violently, and then filled the water bladder with them, and then let their mounts also drink, before I could think about what else could hold water, I was pushed aside by the people behind.

Wang Dashao is now full of confidence, and suddenly he has a boring feeling, the opponent is too low-level, not to mention anything else, if it is himself, he will definitely poison the lake water, you must know that it is too simple to find some poisonous vines here, but what about this fool Wu Qi? He actually gave up such a precious water source, just yesterday Lao Tzu thought that this kid had two brushes, but he didn't expect that Lao Tzu looked down on him in the end.

Wang Dashao ordered a two-day rest, and also arranged for elite personnel to guard the surroundings, if Wu Qi dared to take advantage of the night to come and attack and disturb, these people would turn into slaughtering machines, and Guan Bao would kill as many as he could. Wang Dashao is very sure that in the past two days, Wu Qi's side is very likely to come to sneak attack, and it is almost certain.

And Wu Qi was not idle, late at night, a vulture circled around the sky for a long time, and finally after a chirp it circled and fell, Wu Qi was in good spirits, hurriedly walked out of the tent, took a bamboo tube from the vulture's legs, the vultures flapped their wings and flew away, Wu Qi returned to the camp tent and carefully opened the sealing wax, took out a small note, after reading it, his eyebrows and eyes relaxed.

Two days later, Wang Dashao's mood began to become irritable, and it was a little faintly bad that the herald came back at this time to report that there was still no trace of the enemy. Wang Dashao straightened out his outfit and secretly calmed his bad feelings, and decisively began to give orders: "Attack, strive to destroy the enemy in the shortest possible time." ”

With sufficient water sources, the confidence is enough, and Wu Qi's harassment team has raided many times as usual, but they have not obtained any results that can be seen, but they are still the same as usual, that is, they run fast, and Wang Dashao's army can't catch up with them. I don't know why Wang Dashao's heart is getting more and more uneasy, but he still didn't realize what was wrong, until three days passed, Wang Dashao finally saw that something was wrong, it turned out that the target of the cunning Wu Qi's sneak attack was no longer his water transport unit, to be precise, it was not his water transport container but became a guide in the army, you must know that the original road surface in the desert area is likely to disappear without a trace after a gust of wind, and without a guide, ordinary people in this desert are like headless flies, and the chance of being lucky to get out is almost zero, on the other hand, hundreds of kilometers of desert if Wu Qi is a little bit of people to avoid youWang Dashao specially hired more than a dozen experienced people who were familiar with the road as guides, but the current situation is really not optimistic, and there has just been news that some of the guides have died of serious injuries and died!

Wang Dashao hurriedly sent someone to investigate, it turned out that the water source had been saved these days, but unfortunately the guides had been injured in varying degrees of severity, the heavy ones were arrow wounds, the light ones were iron nails and iron sand, and the more evil ones were that most of the guides were clearly not injured, but they were all inexplicably seriously ill. Of course, Wang Dashao would not know that Wu Qi did not poison the lake in that green area, but the poison was more hidden! The poison was not as powerful as the poisonous vines, but the sequelae were more serious, as for why most people did not have poisonous hair, but only a few guides died of poison, and it was not clear in a sentence or two, and Wang Dashao couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his brain.

Another three days passed, Wang Dashao sent out ten detachments to conduct a carpet search on Wu Qi's side of the personnel, but there was no big gain, although a small group of enemy traces were found in another small oasis, but it was the same as the first time, a rush finally rushed in, but in addition to their own side dropped hundreds of corpses, there was no gain at all, speaking of the first battle, it was good to harvest two heads, these few times are good, not even a hair.

There were several sources of water, but unfortunately the horses drank some water and then fell to the ground in convulsions without even barking!

As time passed, after ten days, the team had a tendency to disperse, the enemy could not be found, food and water sources were decreasing day by day, and more and more people began to be inexplicably irritable, almost every day someone would pounce on individual female slaves, some of these female slaves were the descendants of the noble ladies, and some were the subordinates of several noble sons, and the frequency was also increasing!

Wang Dashao's face became more and more ugly, because the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, and more importantly, people began to disobey his orders, and he also thought about retreating to Pingyang, but his henchmen told him in despair, "The road signs are gone, and the guides accompanying the team are all dead!"

I thought that time was on my side, but now it seems that it is the opposite, and after another five days have passed, the team has completely turned into a group of sick rats, and the water carried by the team has been drunk, because people find that this water is always more and more thirsty as they drink, and both humans and animals are very irritable, and the temptation of the opposite sex is infinitely magnified in their eyes, especially at night, almost more than half of the people are in a state of confusion! Now, although Wang Dashao's 20,000 horses have not been reduced much, for a group of dying sick rats, only a strong cat is needed to easily defeat it, and it has nothing to do with the number, because it is Tianke! However, Wu Qi still did not appear, as if Wu Qi did not care that the opponent would escape because of this.

Another three days passed, and the first large-scale bombing of the camp finally broke out in the ranks, and that night, 800 people were killed and nearly 3,000 more were injured.

Unexpectedly, in friendship.
