Chapter 1128:

Soon, there was a burst of aroma from the cave, the smell of barbecue cumin, and the smell of broth when boiling soup. Ye Chen couldn't help frowning, a little worried that this fragrance would attract the other party's alertness. He hurriedly asked Li Tieniu to lead his men and horses to set up defenses around, and once anything happened, he would immediately fire a warning shot. It seems that only by doing this will I feel better psychologically.

"Brother Chen, the first batch of barbecue is cooked, let the brothers standing guard outside taste it first!" Feng Zhixiao hurriedly asked the soldiers in the cave to carry out the roasted pork, a large piece, a large piece of meat was all lifted out, the golden barbecue, with a layer of delicate butter on it, sprinkled with a layer of fine cumin, a faint smell of barbecue, mixed with a burst of cumin fragrance, very appetizing.

"Well, give the meat to the soldiers standing guard and sentry, and send for their kettles to be collected, and then each of them will have a pot of hot soup. Ye Chen admonished, of course, and in the end, he didn't forget to fill a pot of water from Longquan Lake.

This night, everyone ate very refreshingly, barbecue, broth was fully supplied, and almost everyone ate more than half a catty of meat. Of course, the only fly in the ointment is the lack of alcohol. This night is a very critical night, if you drink alcohol, alcohol will paralyze the human body. If you're not careful, you're likely to be attacked by the other party. Therefore, when entering the battlefield, it is absolutely impossible to substitute alcohol.

However, there was no alcohol, and everyone ate very happily.

It was a quiet night, but it was a very tense night. For Ye Chen and the others, it was a night of eating and drinking. However, for Chen Pingsong, it was a hungry night. In this battle, many soldiers accidentally lost the dry rations they were carrying, and many people ran low on bullets. The battle at Longquantan left their kettles empty. Without water, eating dry food is like eating dirt.

Without water, the human body will be reduced, so Chen Pingsong and his gang look very embarrassed. Seventy or eighty people sat on a hill, each with their heads hung down, not speaking, just looking ahead, as if the whole person's soul had been lost.

"What are you doing, what are you doing!" Chen Pingsong couldn't help but kick the guard next to him and said, "Isn't it just that you haven't drunk water?

As he spoke, Chen Pingsong couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Captain Chen, if there is no water, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it!" The guard on the side sighed and said, "The only water source on this map is the Longquan Lake, if we don't occupy that water source, we will die of thirst for lack of water in the next three days." ”

The guard's words made Chen Pingsong also silent. Water is an indispensable resource. You can go without food, but you must not go without water. This is crucial. If this problem is not solved, I am afraid that someone will soon pull off the flare that they carry with them. If so, then you will lose.

"Hehe, isn't it just water? I have a way!" one of Chen Pingsong's henchmen stood up at this time.

"Xiao Ding, what can you do?" Chen Pingsong hurriedly asked.

"Captain, I grew up in the countryside of Northeast China, and we have a kind of tree there that can produce water!" Xiao Ding was a big man, he wiped his nose, and then said: "I just walked around here and found several of these trees, I think, we can basically find some such trees at night, and then rely on their water to quench our thirst!"

"Really?" Chen Pingsong was overjoyed and said, "That's great, find these trees for me immediately, but you have to tell the soldiers how to get water from them first?"

"Okay!" Xiao Ding nodded immediately.

Immediately, Xiao Ding immediately led everyone to find a tree in the jungle that was about the thickness of a person hugging the left and right, and then took out a dagger and dug a small sink on the tree's body. Soon, droplets of water fell very slowly from the sink. Ding tied the kettle he was carrying to the tree, so that the droplets could just drip into the kettle. Xiao Ding said: "Look, that's it, in less than an hour, half a pot of water can be leaked, enough for us to drink!"

"Okay, let's go find such a tree!" Chen Pingsong seemed impatient, he hurriedly opened another trough directly on the side of Xiaoding's tree, and the water droplets slowly fell. Watching the drops of water of life fall from the trees, Chen Pingsong couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Looking at the drop of the water droplets, it feels very refreshing. He wished that the jars would be filled with water all at once. Then I want to pour it into my mouth hard.

The soldiers moved one after another, one by one they began to fight for the trees, and almost fought over a tree. Soon, the soldiers were scattered among the jungle. Crowds are surrounding the trees to grab water. Everyone's thirsty throat was smoking.

"Damn, this water is really our life-saving water!" Chen Pingsong watched as the water fell into the bottle drop by drop.

"It's not!" Chen Pingsong on the side nodded.

Basically, each soldier did not wait for half an hour, and everyone drank it almost every few minutes, and soon they found that the more they drank the water, the thirstier they became. There is also a slight amount of sugar in the water, and it tastes a little sweet. So, the more they drank, the thirstier they became.

Chen Pingsong knew that the soldiers could only drink more and more thirsty, so he waited patiently for half an hour, and then took the small half pot of water and drank it up, and drank it in two sips. Although it did not completely quench the thirst, it did to a large extent quench the pain caused by the thirst.

The problem of drinking water was solved, and the problem of eating was also solved, and everyone took out compressed biscuits and canned beef jerky from their bags. Compressed biscuits make the mouth thirsty the most. The salt content of beef jerky was too high, so the soldiers did not dare to eat more, and they only tasted it.

"Have you eaten and drunk enough?" Chen Pingsong glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone tie the bottles to the tree to receive water, and we will set up camp here tonight." It's inactive for the time being!"

"Yes!" everyone nodded immediately.

Afterwards, everyone immediately rested in place, and Chen Pingsong said to Xiao Ding: "You take someone to the sentry now, if you find Ye Chen's traces, tell me immediately!"

"Yes!" Xiao Ding ordered more than a dozen soldiers, and then immediately rushed out.

Both sides rested in place and entered a period of relative peace. However, outside the exercise ground, in the middle of Zhongnanhai. The signal from the satellite was transmitted to Zhongnanhai, and Chairman Liu and others sat in the conference room to watch the exercises of the two sides, and as referees, it was necessary for them to keep an eye on them. Although they are just very concerned about the results of the exercises.

"Hehe, it seems that they won't continue to fight today!" Old Man Liu said with a smile: "Ye Chen, they need to rest, Chen Pingsong and they need to rest even more." The men and horses on both sides will not be able to fight until at least tomorrow!"

"Elder Liu, can you summarize today's exercise!" Vice Chairman Chen grinned, and in the conference room, a lot of money has been gloomy. In today's exercise, it is clear that Chen Pingsong has lost the upper hand. In the face of everyone's ridicule, a lot of money did not scold, but chose to be silent, Old Man Liu coughed dryly, and said, "Okay, then I'll summarize it." To sum up today's exercise, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of the two teams. ”

"Tell me about it!" Chairman Liu said curiously.

"I have to admit that both teams are excellent teams!" Old Man Liu said with a smile: "The team led by Ye Chen has a strong reaction ability, and the individual combat ability is good. A team, the most important of all, is the commander. Ye Chen's own command ability is also very strong. Isn't there a saying: A sheep led by a lion is stronger than a lion led by a sheep. Of course, I am not denying Chen Pingsong's command ability, I just think that he is a little worse than Ye Chen, but in the ranks of the People's Liberation Army, Chen Pingsong's command ability is still remarkable. ”

", it's like not saying it!" said a lot of money coldly.

"Hehe, Commander Xu, do you have any objections to my words?

"Ye Chen is too cunning!" Qian said coldly: "Knowing that Longquan Lake is the only water source in the map, he actually fights an ambush here!"

"Haha, this is not called cunning, this is called cleverness!" Old Man Liu laughed. Looking at the problem from a different standpoint will lead to different results. It's like now, Old Man Liu represents Ye Chen's interests, so he thinks Ye Chen's playing style is very smart. However, from the standpoint of a lot of money, Ye Chen is simply a cunning fox.

"Hmph, smart people should have a big battle in the open!"

"Commander Xu, if you really think so, then I really doubt that you have climbed to the throne of commander all these years!" Old man Liu simply pointed the finger at a lot of money. A lot of money jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, and then glared at Old Man Liu angrily and said, "You...... What do you mean!"

"I didn't mean anything!" Old Man Liu shook his head and said, "In the battle that entered the battlefield, how did Chen Pingsong know Ye Chen's location? Didn't you tell him? The positions of the two teams entering the battlefield were all temporarily decided, why was Chen Pingsong able to quickly find Ye Chen's location as soon as he entered the battlefield?"

"Hmph, that's Chen Pingsong's ability!" said a lot of money with a sneer.

"Okay, don't argue!" Chairman Liu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No matter what, this thing has already happened anyway, and it's useless for you to say more!"

"Let's see, I believe that tomorrow we should be able to end the battle!" Old Man Liu showed a bright smile. Old Man Liu was very sure of Ye Chen's ability, and he believed that Ye Chen would definitely be able to end this war soon. A lot of money said coldly: "Okay, I want to see how this battle ends!"
