There are many rivers around Neihuangcheng, and there is a river passing through the city, so it is simple and convenient to take water every day.

Even during the great drought, the Chinese people and the leaders of the Qianqian could go to the Yellow River to fetch water.

Therefore, the only thing that Neihuang people need to worry about is the flood disaster and the failure of the grain harvest due to drought, but they have never worried about the lack of water due to drought.

Wells were drilled in the city only to make it easier for the magnates to use water, and at the same time to meet the minimum water preparation needs of regular siege warfare, rather than having to dig them.

Therefore, the number of wells in Neihuangcheng is not much, and the depth is also very shallow.

Now there are water cuts and droughts one after another, and the wells in the city are almost completely wiped out!

Seven hundred milliliters of water per person a day sounds like a lot, but it is not enough to cook two meals of corn, let alone drink it, so that people will not die of thirst.

But even with such a small amount of water, it is no longer enough!

Looking up at the still cloudless sky, Fu Yu's dry vocal cords let out a hoarse lament: "It's been ten days, and there is still no rain!" ”

"There is not even a sign of rain!"

"Could it be that the sky really blesses Qin but not Zhao Hu!"

Yan Ju looked at the city wall and asked in a low voice: "The head of the city is already doing his best to save water. ”

"If there is any less, it will kill people!"

"The soldiers of the city now use more water every day than all the people in the city combined."

"General, do you want to cut the water supply of the soldiers in the city to maintain stability in the city and wait for rain?"

Fu Yi shook his head without hesitation: "The water in the city has also been reduced to the point that it can no longer be reduced. ”

"The soldiers defending the city need to be ready for battle at all times, once there is a shortage of water, the soldiers will have no combat power, and our city will be destroyed."

"The enemy army throws filth every day, and the people in the city can enter the house to hide, but the soldiers in the city have no way to avoid it, so they can only be drenched in filth."

"The situation is so bad, and the soldiers still do not retreat, which is commendable, and they should not be allowed to bathe after resting every day."

"Otherwise, whether it is the distraction of the army or the rampant epidemic, our city will be broken!"

The Qin army Chen soldiers were outside the city and could attack the city at any time, so Fu Yi had to let the soldiers go to the city to prepare for battle.

But once the soldiers patrol the city and prepare for battle, it will be difficult to avoid the filth thrown into the city by the Qin army.

This is not only a blow to the morale of Zhao Junjun, but also the source of the epidemic!

Fu knew how to deal with the plague caused by filth.

But the premise of all methods is to clean the filth first.

Clean, water is needed!

And water is precisely the most scarce material in Inner Huangcheng now!

Today, Fu Yi finally came to his senses.

Ying Cheng may not have been prepared to use filth and corpses to cause the plague in the first place.

Ying Cheng just used the possibility that the plague would break out to force Fu to have to consume a large amount of water that was already small!

But even if he knew, what could Fu Yu do?!

Yan Ju said bitterly: "Then do you want to continue to cut the water supply in the city?" ”

"There are only four liters of water per person a day in the city, and if it is reduced any more, people will die of thirst!"

"General, will the Qianshou in the city really die of thirst and thirst for the sake of Da Zhao?"

"If the water is reduced again, there will be chaos in the city, and Qin Chang'anjun is the best at taking advantage of the chaos in the city."

"When there is turmoil, my city will also be broken!"

When the 'price' is not willing to sacrifice honestly, 'whatever it takes' becomes a joke.

A difficult choice was placed in front of Fu Yi's eyes.

Will you weaken the defenders, or will you abandon the city, or will you sit back and watch the plague spread?

As the water source continues to decrease, perhaps Fu Yu will have to choose all three at the same time!

Fu Yao's gaze became resolute: "Today, we will no longer distribute clear water to the Qianshou in the city!" ”

Yan Ju's eyes were stunned: "In this way, the general will definitely force ...... rebel"

Halfway through the words, the look of surprise in Yan Ju's eyes was even worse: "Does the general intend to go out of the city to attack at night and dig up the dam of the Qin army?" ”

Yan Ju believed that Fu Yi would not be so stupid as not to know that not giving water to the people of Qianshou would force them to rebel.

Since Fu Yi knew this, he still made such a decision, obviously preparing to gather all the water sources and make a big deal!

Fu Yu said slowly: "The Qin army has always strengthened the dam, and even placed defenders outside the four city gates. ”

"Once our army leaves the city, it will be known by the Qin army."

"With the strength of our army, it is almost impossible to dig the dam before the Qin army arrives!"

An even more unbelievable thought rose in Yan Ju's mind: "Then general, you are intending to ......"

Fu Yi turned his head to look at the filthy Inner Yellow City: "The Inner Yellow City, I can't hold it." ”

"The general intends to give all the water sources in the city to our soldiers, so that our soldiers can be fed and drunk to restore their combat strength."

"Abandon the city tonight and break out!"

At the beginning of Yingcheng's water cut-off, Fu Di still had illusions in his heart.

Although Ying Cheng Chan has won successive battles and is powerful in the world, even if Ying Cheng Chan can fight again, he can't control the time, right?

But the 26-day drought made Fu Di completely desperate.

Fu Yi didn't know why Ying Chengcheng dared to bet on the yellow drought this year, but Fu Yi didn't dare to wait for the ethereal rain!

Yan Ju said repeatedly: "But the king ordered our army to hold on to Neihuang for two months!" ”

Disobey the king's orders?

How dare you!

Fu Yu said irritably: "What kind of military strategy does the king know!" ”

"The battle on the front line is changing, but our army has been unable to get in touch with the king for a long time, even if the king adjusts the military strategy and sends a military report, our army will not receive it!"

"And the king only ordered our army to resist the Qin army for two months, and then retreated to Feicheng."

"In which city is it not guarded!"

"Now that Inner Huangcheng is in difficulty, our army can only keep our troops by withdrawing backwards, and we will be ordered to move into Feicheng two months later."

"In the future, the battle situation will be reported to the king, and the king will be able to understand the general!"

Fu Yi could indeed persist for two months by storing urine and drinking urine, killing people and drinking blood.

But, then what?

Can the soldiers of the Zhao army who survived two months with those methods still have combat effectiveness? Can there still be a military spirit?

For the ultimate victory, Fu Yu had to disobey the king's order!

Yan Ju opened his mouth to persuade Fu Yu.

But Yan Ju also understands that this is the only way to solve the current predicament.

Sighing helplessly, Yan Ju bowed: "Only!" ”

All the water and wine in the city were transported to the army, and even the ice stored in the basement of the official office was also transported into the army, so that the soldiers of the Zhao army had drunk enough water for a long time.

But no one smiled.

Because they know that tonight, they will use their weak forces to fight against Yingcheng, who has ten times the strength of the army!

This bowl of water may be the last bowl of water in their lives!

The next day on weekdays (3:00).

When the moon and stars were scarce, the north gate of Neihuangcheng was slowly pushed open, and the suspension bridge fell.

10,000 Zhao soldiers with titles, horses wrapped in hooves, and wheels covered with grass, quietly slipped out of the city.

Looking at the earthen wall illuminated by the firelight in the distance, Fu Di asked in a low voice: "A gap has been carved out of the earthen wall in an hour." ”

"Vice Admiral Yan is likely to do it?"

The earthen wall in the distance was waist-high, and the foot soldiers could jump over it with both hands, making it no threat to individual soldiers.

But for the army, this earthen wall made it impossible for the Zhao army's chariots, horses, and especially baggage trucks to move at all!

In case it is discovered by the Qin army when crossing the earthen wall, this earthen wall will cut the Zhao army into two parts, making it difficult for the Zhao army to look at each other and form a military formation, and can only be reduced to a lamb to the slaughter!

If you want to break through safely, it is imperative to dig up the earth wall!

Yan Ju solemnly promised: "I will not disgrace my life!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yan Ju led the vanguard army to move forward quietly under the cover of night, and without alarming the Qin army patrol soldiers, he had already approached the earthen wall.

Yan Ju whispered: "As long as this earthen wall is opened, our army can escape and drink the river water!" ”

"Remember, move slowly, don't startle the Qin army!"

Thousands of pioneers bowed their hands with excited faces, and the shovels in their hands stabbed lightly against the earthen wall.

However, the iron shovel had just pierced into the soil, and there was a faint sound of a bell in the distance!

"Bell bell bell ~~~"

In the silence of the night, even if this bell is faint, it is still catchy!

The hearts of all the Zhao Jun's pioneers twitched suddenly, and they froze in place and looked around in horror.

If it weren't for the stones in their mouths, they would have started whispering.

Yan Ju turned over the wall vigilantly and looked into the distance, but he never saw the patrol of the Qin army!

"Nobody?"

Yan Ju frowned: "Order the hundreds of generals to check the robes under their command to confirm if anyone has brought bells or accessories!" ”

Each hundred generals immediately began to strictly investigate the soldiers under their command.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Ge An leaned into Yan Ju's ear and replied in a low voice like a mosquito and fly: "General, none of the robes are wearing bells. ”

Yan Ju felt flustered.

If the soldiers under his command did not bring bells, where did the bells come from?

Is it a coincidence?

Or are all the thousands of soldiers hallucinating?

Or ......

Ge An saw that Yan Ju was silent for a long time, and asked softly: "General, do you want to continue digging?" ”

Yan Ju thought for a few breaths before he said fiercely: "Dig!" ”

This time, Ge An didn't let others do it again, but personally picked up an iron shovel and pierced it into the soil!

"Bell bell bell ~~~"

Another bell rang like maggots on tarsal bones!

All Zhao Jun panicked in his heart, and Yan Ju felt that it was extremely difficult to breathe.

Ge An's voice trembled and said: "Ten days ago, Qin Chang'anjun formulated a military strategy based on the recent drought in Huang. ”

"Neihuangguo has really been in drought so far, and not a drop of rain has fallen!"

"Some people even say that Qin Chang'an Jun can invite the ancestors of the Qin State to appear and have the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods."

"General, could it be that Qin Chang'anjun invited the ghosts and gods to ......?"

Yan Ju covered Ge An's mouth and shouted fiercely: "Silence! ”

"If you dare to shake the heart of the army, cut it!"

Ge An nodded in horror.

Letting go of the hand holding Ge An, Yan Ju stared at the earthen wall with his eyes: "Ben will worship ghosts and gods and stay away." ”

"Ghosts and gods should also be far away!"

"Ben Jiang doesn't believe that ghosts and gods will help Qin Chang'anjun!"

As he spoke, Yan Ju's trembling right hand touched the earthen wall.

At the beginning, there is rough dry soil.

But when Yan Ju's fingers poked into the gap that was made by the shovel, his fingers felt blocked and rough.

Yan Ju's right hand paused, and then quickly inserted five fingers into the earthen wall, holding the rough thing, and another bell sounded faintly from afar.

"Suzu~"

This time, Yan Ju did not panic and was shocked, and forcefully pulled the blocked object outward.

"Bell Bell Bell !!"

Ringtones!

The moonlight also illuminated the prototype of the object in Yan Ju's hand.

That's a twine!
