Chapter 266: Desperate Situation
King Zuo Xian suddenly said what Gao Chong was most worried about, but adhering to the principle of 'don't believe a word what the enemy says', Gao Chong immediately replied when his voice fell, "King Zuo Xian, since you have studied in our Dahan, then you must remember that our Dahan has a word called Xinkou Huang, right, what you said in time, isn't it exactly this word?"
King Zuo Xian immediately replied: "I have also learned a word and deny it! Shule City is built on the middle of the mountain, and the water goes down, how can it stay in the mountains? When have you ever seen a well on the mountainside? The deepest well dug at the flat bottom is no more than three zhang, so I will ask you, how many zhang have you dug now? Have you ever seen water?"
Listening to the words of King Zuo Xian of the Huns, the Han army on the tower of the city seems to have a little doubt about whether there is water in the well dug by Gao Chong, well, King Zuo Xian does have some truth, and now they have indeed encountered this kind of problem, but as a Han army, how can they give in so easily, even if the enemy is right, but we can't admit it.

So Gao Chong immediately replied, "Thank you Zuo Xianwang for mentioning it, this is the mountainside, and you can't see it?" You haven't seen the well halfway up the mountainside, right? Then our Han army will dig one to open your eyes, if there is nothing else, please go back."
King Zuo Xian saw that he seemed to have hit the key point of Gao Pet, and the Han army on the city tower seemed to be really worried, so he planned to ignore the people and take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack the morale of the Han army. As soon as he was about to speak, he who had also practiced kung fu in the Great Han Border instantly felt a murderous aura approaching, and instinctively King Zuo Xian immediately squatted down. The soldiers behind him let out a scream, and a Mitsubishi armor-piercing arrow tore through the mountain wind and shot at the Hun camp. The camp immediately closed and went on the defensive.
King Zuo Xian looked at the soldier behind him who was blocked by an arrow, and his heart beat faster with fright, "The archery skills of this Han army general are so powerful"
Gao Zhong saw that they began to coax, so he immediately smiled and said, "I didn't expect that King Zuo Xian was not only born with sharp teeth, this is what I taught in the Han Dynasty, and I also admit it, but I didn't expect King Zuo Xian's escape kung fu to be so first-class?
King Zuo Xian knew that if he took the lead, he would inevitably be targeted, so he could only retreat slowly, and at the same time shouted, "General Gao, you have a hard mouth today, I want to see how long you can be hard-mouthed?"
Watching the Huns slowly retreat, Gao Pet put down his bow and arrows, and all the soldiers present shouted 'General Divine Arrow, General Divine Arrow', which was originally a little demoralized, and Gao Pet relied on his own bravery to stop the decline. Gao Zhong shouted with the situation, "Don't listen to the words of that Zuo Xianwang, my father once told me that the enemy is cunning, and he will do everything to fight you." Why did they cut off the water? And they said that digging wells was ineffective? Because they were afraid, they were afraid that we could actually dig wells, and they would be in vain, why were they afraid, because the soil under the riverbed was wet, and it meant that there must be water! Why did they cut off our river? Because they couldn't break through our walls from the front, because they couldn't beat us at all, and that's it."
The soldiers shouted, "That's right, the Huns are not our opponents at all, we don't need to be afraid at all"
Seeing that the morale had recovered, Gao Chong waved his hand and took Shaoyuan to the construction site, on the way to the construction site, there were only Shaoyuan and Gao Chong, Gao Chong said with a wry smile, "Shaoyuan, then you know why I said I'm not sure, right?"
Shao Yuan also smiled bitterly, but Shao Yuan was much more relaxed: "What are you afraid of? Isn't there ten days left? Even if we dig three feet into the ground, no, three zhang, no, thirty zhang!
Before they knew it, the two of them had already walked to the construction site, but the two did not hesitate to take off their armor and join the whole operation, this is a war with the sky, the Han people, will not give in easily.
The next day, the Huns were still playing in front of Shule as they had done yesterday, while the Han army was still watching them frolic with blank faces, believing that their general could dig a well.
On the third day, the Huns were still playing in the water in front of Shule City as they had done yesterday, while the Han army still watched them frolic with blank faces, believing that their general could dig a well.
On the fourth day, the Xiongnu army was still playing in the water in front of Shule City as they had done yesterday, while the Han army still watched them frolic with blank faces, believing that their general could dig a well.
Day 5......
Day 6......
Day 7......
Day 8...... The army's heart finally began to float, Shule Han Jun looked at the decreasing kettle water tank, and began to be impatient, when is it autumn, there is no rain under the Tianshan Mountain, and it is even a little high and cool in autumn, if it is not for the high Tianshan Mountain, it is relatively cool, I am afraid that the Han army will use water faster.
Day 9...... The military heart continued to float, Gao Pet saw this, and had to rely on prestige again, relying on the loyalty of the soldiers to the Han, and once again suppressed the floating military heart, but Gao Pet has bitter self-knowledge, at this moment, the 'well' has now been dug to about fifteen zhang, if it is put in the Central Plains, I don't know how many wells have been dug out, but this Tianshan Mountain, dug a full fifteen zhang, it is still moist soil, but there is no drop of water.
On the tenth day, the army's heart was still impetuous, because today they finally cut off the water, the soldiers could no longer drink water, all drinking supplies had been suspended, everyone began to look for all the liquid that could be drunk, urine was also one of the choices, as the prison army Shaoyuan took out his feces for the first time, leaked into juice, pinched his nose and drank it, everyone saw that Shaoyuan, who was the prison army, took out the juice and pinched his nose to drink it, so they followed suit. The people who led the army were still suffering with the soldiers, and they did not give up easily, and these soldiers naturally worked up and down, and did not complain. Since then, the Han army in Shule City has no other work, almost all the Han army, except for defending the city and sleeping, has been fully engaged in the work of digging wells, day and night, never stopping, as if they are crazy and desperately digging under this well workshop, the well carrying hope and the Han soldiers in a slightly desperate mood, in stark contrast.
And in the Hun camp, Ke Moore was teasing his hound and asked, "King Zuoxian, how many days is it today?"
King Zuo Xian arched his hand and said, "Back to the Great Khan, today is the eleventh day"
But Moore continued to ask, "So Han Jun, is the water cut off?"
King Zuo Xian arched his hand and said, "If you guess correctly, today or tomorrow, the water will be cut off"
But Moore said, "How long does it take for a man to die without water? Shall we incite them? Maybe they will collapse sooner."
King Zuo Xian arched his hand and said, "A person will die if the water is cut off for three days, we can go to promote this plan, the Han people have a saying, called the siege of the city for the bottom, the attack on the heart for the top"
But Moore threw out the bones and asked the hound to pick them up, "Then this plan will be handed over to you, King Zuoxian"
King Zuo Xian retreated, "The subordinates received the order, and the subordinates retired"
