Of the more than 10,000 troops, only more than 3,000 eventually fled back, and 10,000 troops died.

Bai Liyuan didn't care about the death of 10,000 troops, what he cared about was Ye Xiangfo's methods, and what he cared about was the predicament of the Eastern Qi army. Obviously, Ye Xiangfo has been prepared for a long time, and these mineral powders and fire oil are estimated to have been prepared for a long time, and the arrangement here should have been planned for a long time.

In other words!

It is impossible for Ye Xiangfo to get him out of trouble, and if he wants to get out of trouble, it will cost a huge price. This pool has become an abyss, and if you want to wade over, you need to fill him with corpses.

Baili Yuan is not in a hurry, even if he is in a hurry, he can't reveal anything on the surface of being the head coach.

He ordered the withdrawal of his troops and returned to the camp. He asked the scouts to explore the mountain, looking for a way down the mountain, to see if there was any chance of letting the army pass through the other three areas. He himself began to think about whether he could find a way to break Ye Xiangfo's water and fire array.

According to the current situation, if the army rushes into battle, it is not impossible to jump through. However, Ye Xiangfo's side is very well defended, and it is estimated that it will cost at least 100,000 lives of troops to attack that side, and Ye Xiangfo can easily defeat them. If you want to fight a bloody way out of Ye Xiangfo's army, you don't know how many people will die, and Baili Yuan will definitely not die like this.

The scouts probed everywhere and returned two hours later, reporting on the investigation. It is absolutely impossible to go down in the north, it is too steep, except for the seven or eight rank martial artists, the rest of the martial artists will not die if they fall down. The east and west directions are slightly better, but it is no problem for a small army to go down with ropes and the like, and it is very difficult for the army to go down, at least Ye Xiangfo can easily find out.

If they came down from the east and west, they could only go down the mountain in small groups, and if Ye Xiangfo found out, these armies were all live targets. All of them will be shot, so going down the mountain from the east and west is also a dead end.

The only way is to the south!

After the scouts here probed the situation, Lao Jin gave a suggestion, he could find a way to expand the road down the mountain, and flatten the ground near the waterhole below the mountain, so that the army could quickly gather below, and the archers on this side could counterattack. In this way, the pool below can be filled little by little, or it will definitely be filled in half a month. At most, tens of thousands of troops will be consumed, as long as the small half is filled, then their large army can drive straight into the Southern Chu camp.

Bai Liyuan nodded and ordered: "That's it, you arrange for the army to start expanding the road in the afternoon, cutting down trees, and preparing to fill the stones of the pool, if this pool is not filled, we can't go." ”

Lao Jin went down to make arrangements, and tens of thousands of troops took action, repaired the road down the mountain, and started repairing it from above. Originally, it was just a small road that was not wide, but it was trampled by the army and widened a little during this time. After some repairs, the road has become dozens of times larger, and can accommodate hundreds of troops to move side by side.

"Newspaper—"

At noon, an urgent voice suddenly sounded outside the camp, Lao Jin was not there, Bai Liyuan frowned and said, "Come in!"

A commander walked in, with a look of horror on his face, he bowed down and said, "Dashuai, it's not good, the two mountain springs suddenly don't have spring water!"

"What?"

Baili Yuan felt that the sky exploded into a thunderbolt, and his body shook slightly, he suddenly got up, grabbed the collar of the commander and asked, "Are you sure? Lie about the military situation, I will kill you!"

"Dashuai!"

The commander was so anxious that his face turned red, and he said in a loud voice: "How dare you spread such a big thing as a lowly position?

"Lead the way!"

Baili Yuan threw the commander on the ground, and the commander hurriedly led the way in front, and Bai Li Yuan hurried over with his personal guards. There is a mountain spring near the camp of Shuai, and a group of sergeants have long been surrounded here, and Bailiyuan's personal guards came to immediately impose martial law and disperse these sergeants, and some generals also arrived after receiving the news and cooperated with the repulsion of the army.

"This ......"

Bai Liyuan looked at the dry spring in front of him, and his eyes were full of disbelief. There used to be a large mountain spring that kept gushing out, and there was a small pool here. Now the small waterhole is no longer dripping, and the water level is still dropping......

Bai Liyuan's body trembled again, and his face turned a little pale.

An army must not go without food for a day, and the consequences of not having food are very serious, but the consequences of not having water are even more devastating. Now that the weather is a little hot, how much water do hundreds of thousands of troops have to drink a day? Once the water is cut off, the whole army will not be able to move for a few days, and will have to wait for death.

"Where's the other spring?"

Baili Yuan forcibly calmed down and asked the Scout Commander to take him to another living spring, and the result was the same. His breathing became rapid, he closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, and led the guards back to the camp with a blank face.

Not long after he came back, Lao Jin came, and more than a dozen generals also arrived outside the door. Lao Jin came in, but those generals Baili Yuan didn't let him in, because he was afraid that those generals would see his desperate and panicked eyes.

That's right......

Baili Yuan was indeed panicked, very panicked. If it was his personal life and death, he wouldn't care, but now it is the life and death of more than one million main forces of Eastern Qi, more than one million troops have died, and Eastern Qi can still recruit more than one million troops in a short time, but can it stop the Southern Chu army?

This more than one million troops have been destroyed, and he will be the sinner of Eastern Qi, and he will also become a stepping stone for Ye Xiangfo to reach the top of the top generals in Eastern Shenzhou.

He couldn't figure out how Ye Xiangfo did it!

However, this was obviously arranged by Ye Xiangfo before, and it is very likely that there is an underground river under the mountain spring, and Ye Xiangfo has already sent someone to investigate. They cut off the water to the underground river, or drained it away.

It's a treasure that is easy to defend and hard to attack, and it's also a grave from which there is no escape.

Ye Xiangfo's previous onslaught on Yuzui Mountain, regardless of casualties, now knows the reason. Ye Xiangfo just forced them to come here, forced them to jump into the dug pit, and buried them here.

Baili Yuan sat silently, Lao Jin wanted to say something, but he waved his hand to stop it. He forced himself to calm down, no water is a big deal, people will be weak if they don't drink water for a day, if they don't drink water for two days, their body will have big problems, and if they don't drink water for three days, they will only die.

So he must make a decision as soon as possible, time waits for no one, and the longer it drags on, the easier it is to have a big incident.

Lao Jin waited anxiously, and after a stick of incense, Baili Yuan spoke: "Spread the news of the water cut off from the living spring, don't deliberately conceal it, don't block the news, immediately!"

"Huh?"

Lao Jin thought that he had heard it wrong, and blinked in a daze, shouldn't this kind of news be blocked? When the news spreads, the whole army will panic, and there may even be a riot.

Bai Liyuan didn't explain, and said in a deep voice: "Execute the military order!"

Lao Jin glanced at Baili Yuan, saw that he was serious, and hurriedly went out to talk to a group of generals. The generals outside also thought they had heard it wrong, and some of them had already ordered the news to be blocked.

Lao Jin once again emphasized that this was a military order, and a group of generals could only go out separately to summon them. After the news spread, the entire barracks immediately exploded, and many sergeants ran to the spring, and when they saw that the water level of the spring was still dropping, many sergeants jumped down and drank it in a big gulp, and the spring pool was full of sergeants.

All the armies were bombed, they all ran out of the barracks, either gathered together, or ran to see the mountain springs, or went to their respective generals, and the whole mountain was in chaos. Many sergeants began to panic, some sergeants were ready to slip away, it was difficult to go down the cliffs on three sides, but it was still possible to slide down with ropes.

There were also many sergeants who gathered outside the camp and asked to meet Bailiyuan. The military soul of this army is Baili Yuan, and they want to see Bai Li Yuan and see how Bai Li Yuan leads them to live.

Half an hour later, one after another military orders were handed down, and the military orders told all the troops to assemble in the open field, and Bailiyuan had to give a lecture in person.

This military order made the army's heart a little more stable, and countless sergeants gathered, and a huge clearing on the top of the mountain was covered with people, dense and with no end in sight. After the sergeants gathered, Baili Yuan came out, stood on a boulder, and began to shout.

He shouted loudly, but the sergeant in the distance could not hear clearly. Some generals will pass on Bailiyuan's words to all the sergeants.

"Soldiers!"

Bai Liyuan's voice was very heavy: "Everyone may know that we fell for Ye Xiangfo's tricks, and the mountain spring water here has dried up. In other words, we will soon run out of water to drink, and what will be the consequence? There is only one consequence, we will not be able to move for three days at most, and we will die here. ”

Baili Yuan's words caused a burst of restlessness, fortunately, this is the main army of Eastern Qi, the military discipline is very good, and under the suppression of officers at all levels, the army is not chaotic.

After a pause, Baili Yuan continued to shout: "Just now, the officers of the law enforcement team reacted to me, and some sergeants have begun to slip away, slipping away from the east and west. What I want to tell you is that there are enemy troops monitoring and blockade on both the east and west sides of Nanchu, and even if you manage to escape, you will be easily slaughtered. So...... We have no way to escape now, we only have one choice now!"

Bai Liyuan took out the war knife in his hand and pointed at the bottom of the mountain and said: "If we want to survive, we can only go down the mountain to break through the encirclement, only to break through the enemy's military formation, and only to kill a bloody way." Otherwise, we will all die here, we are the most elite army of Eastern Qi, if we die here, Eastern Qi will be finished. The army of Southern Chu waved its troops to the east, and our Eastern Qi may be destroyed, and our relatives and clansmen will cry under the iron hooves of Southern Chu, and we will also become sinners of Eastern Qi. Soldiers, tell me your choice, do you want to sit back and die, or do you want to fight to the end?"

"Bloody battle to the end!"

The sergeants did not hesitate, they all waved their arms or weapons, and shouted loudly, the murderous aura on the sergeants began to condense, and countless sergeants showed expressions on their faces as if they were at home.

"That's good!"

Baili Yuan waved his hand and shouted: "The whole army of Longxiang will be dispatched to repair the road down the mountain within half a day." The rest of the army went back to the camp to repair, buried the pot in the evening to make food, and in the evening we fought a bloody way and went home!"
