Chapter 1079

"Now that general Qixin Heli has gone to look for water, the remaining half of the car of water......" Xue Wanjun looked forward. Now the whole army is extremely hungry, and this half of the car of water is precious.

Hou Junji looked at the only half of the water and the eyes of the generals looking forward to it. Then he waved his hand and said, "the rest of the water will be divided equally by the garrison!"

The generals immediately showed a surprised expression. Although this half car of water is not much and is less distributed among the armies, it is the most valuable resource, which can replenish a little physical strength for the soldiers of the whole army,

"You can't divide the water!" a sudden objection interrupted the surprise of the generals. They turned back and found that the Mo family who opposed the water division was the one who gave half a cart of water.

Xue Wanjun looked unhappy, turned back and stared at Merton and said, "what's the meaning of ink offering wine? Is it because he repented and didn't want to offer water."

As we all know, the reason why there is this half car of water is because of the fire prevention needs of the firearms prison. There is less and less water in his eyes. At present, there is only half a car left. Mojiazi must be reluctant to give up and want to leave water for the firearms prison.

Merton shook his head and said, "general Xue misunderstood. If Mo didn't want to donate the water, I'm afraid he would have quietly collected the water in the water truck in the firearms prison."

No less than the general nodded. Mojiazi was really selfish. They also saw that the water dragon car was indeed full of water and did not take it at all. If mojiazi quietly distributed the water of the water dragon car to the firearm officers and soldiers at night, I'm afraid they wouldn't notice it at all.

"What's the meaning of Mo sacrificing wine and not sharing water?" Hou Junji asked. Merton not only contributed a car of water, but also found a way to find water. Hou Junji unconsciously softened his attitude.

Merton arched his hands to the generals and said, "I don't know how many people suffered from water shortage during the ancient March. In addition to old horses, have you ever heard of looking for plum to quench thirst?"

"Hope for plum to quench thirst!"

The generals frowned and shook their heads slightly.

Merton remembered that the idiom of looking for plum to quench thirst came from the Song Dynasty. There is no such saying yet. He did not hesitate to put it into Mozi's secret book. Lang said:

"Mozi's Secret works" It is said that Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei Dynasty, also encountered the problem of water shortage on his way to the army again. The soldiers were extremely hungry and thirsty and could not move forward at all. Seeing that the army was about to fall into a desperate situation, Cao Cao pointed his whip at the soldiers and said, "there is a large plum forest ahead, which is sweet to quench his thirst." after the soldiers, their saliva flowed, their hunger and thirst decreased greatly, and the whole army accelerated forward, Finally found the water source. "

"Hope for plum to quench thirst! Cao Cao is indeed a generation of heroes with extraordinary means." Hou Junji exclaimed.

The other generals nodded one after another.

"However, it's amazing to look at plum blossoms to quench thirst, but all the officers and men of the army know that this is the vast Gobi desert. Let alone Meilin, there is no grassland. I'm afraid this method won't work!" Hou Junji was disappointed.

Merton Road: "We only need to learn from our predecessors' methods. How can we repeat our old skills? Isn't that a mockery? Now general Qixin Heli has gone to the north to fetch water and will return soon, which can inspire the soldiers more than the illusory Meilin. If general Qixin Heli is a distant Meilin, and the half cart of water around us is a thirst quenching plum. We just need to hurry Taking this water tanker to walk among the army, the soldiers will be very calm when they hear the water sound of the carriage. "

"This is really a good law. Even if you give water to all the troops, you can't get half of it. It's useless at all." Niu JINDA agreed.

Merton continued: "moreover, this water is life-saving water. Now that the first soldier falls, there will certainly be a second and third soldier fall. However, with this half car of water, every fallen soldier will get water supplement and treatment, so that the soldiers know that even if they are short of water, they will have no fear of life. They can march with all their strength and get out of the Gobi as soon as possible."

When Merton finished, the generals immediately brightened their eyes because of hunger and thirst. The morale of the whole army has been reduced to the extreme. If the soldiers know that Qixin He Li is about to return with water, they can't hold it. There is also a water tanker to supply water and won't die of thirst. There is hope in the front and a water tanker to save lives later. The soldiers of the whole army must be determined.

"In this way, it's a way to do it according to the Mo sacrifice!" Hou Junji nodded.

"In my opinion, it's fair that this waterwheel should be kept by general Hou himself." Xin liao'er suddenly interrupted.

Other generals were silent and knew Xin liaoer's plan. Once Hou Junji took charge of the waterwheel, he would surely be able to win the hearts of the soldiers of the whole army with the credit of curing the soldiers.

However, Hou Junji unexpectedly shook his head and said, "everyone knows that this is the waterwheel of the firearm supervisor. It is better to let Mo sacrifice wine to keep this carriage, so that the soldiers will not be suspicious."

This is a critical period for the whole army. The most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army, not to buy people's hearts. Hou Junji naturally weighs it clearly.

"However, this water cart is offered by the ink sacrifice. We naturally believe that the character of the ink sacrifice will certainly use this half cart of water where it is urgently needed." Niu JINDA agreed.

The generals nodded one after another, leaving aside the identity of Hou Junji's master general, mojiazi was indeed the best person to preserve this half car of water.

"That's the arrangement. After you return to the army, you immediately announce to the soldiers that general Qixin Heli will soon come back with the water source. The Mo sacrificial wine maker will walk from the army with the water tanker, so that the soldiers can know that there is enough water in the water tanker. Once the soldiers faint, they will take water for treatment immediately." Hou Junji ordered.

"Yes!" the generals took orders one after another.

"What if the war horse fell to the ground without water?" Merton hesitated.

Hou Junji immediately clenched his teeth and said, "then stab the horse and drink blood!"

The generals were silent. As an army, the war horse is the most important tool. If it is not the last moment, I'm afraid no one is willing to take the step of stabbing the horse and drinking blood.

Hou Junji waved his hand, and the generals left one after another. Soon, there were bursts of cheers from the army. It was obvious that the generals had spread the news that Qixin He Li went to fetch water. The morale of the whole army was shocked, and the marching speed was indeed accelerated.

At the same time, a water tanker passed proudly by the army. The clattering water made people look at it. This water was a drop in the bucket for 100000 troops. However, for ordinary soldiers, they only knew that with this water, they would have no worries about their lives.

For a while, the whole army was calm and the marching speed increased greatly. Although many soldiers and men came to the ground because of lack of water along the way, the water dragon vehicles would arrive at the first time. In full view of the public, they took out a small amount of water to give to the hungry and thirsty fainted soldiers. Soon, the soldiers who got the water supplement returned to the team again.

After word of mouth, everyone knows that there is sweet and delicious water in the waterwheel, which is not false. Even if they are extremely hungry and thirsty, the army is still marching in an orderly manner without a trace of chaos.

The first day passed smoothly. The next day, more soldiers fainted. However, the waterwheel made great contributions again and rescued the soldiers again and again.

Finally, on the third day, the whole army was exhausted to the extreme. However, as long as all the soldiers saw the passing waterwheel, they could not help but hope.

However, they did not find that the waterwheel of the firearm supervisor was moving faster and faster, and the splashing sound was only caused by the bumping of the vehicle.

Hou Junji stared anxiously at the north. All the generals knew that the waterwheel of the firearm supervisor could not last long. Although there were stabbing horses to drink blood, the army had lost hundreds of war horses in just half a day. If Qixin he could not find water again, the army would really be in a desperate situation.

With the passage of time, more and more war horses fell to the ground, and the waterwheel of the firearm supervisor gradually could not hear the sound of water, and the army was about to fall into a desperate situation.

Suddenly, Hou Junji felt a tremor and felt it. He raised his telescope and looked towards the north. He saw a yellow dragon running towards the army on the desolate Gobi in the north.

"Enemy attack, meet the enemy!" the generals obviously also found the situation. The Tang army's extremely high military quality was reflected incisively and vividly, with swords out of the scabbard and bows and crossbows on the string.

Although the generals strongly hope that general Qixin Heli, who went to fetch water, will come back, even if he is extremely weak, his defense will still be completed.

Gradually, the yellow dragon was getting closer and closer. The generals were relieved until they clearly saw that the visitor was Qixin He Li.

"Yes, Qixin Heli general!" Hou Junji waved his big hand, and the troops slowly put down their defense.

Everyone is looking forward to the north. This time, the army can get out of the Gobi Desert intact. It depends on whether general Qixin Heli can bring back water.

Soon, a thousand soldiers and three thousand horses rushed to the army. Qi Xinhe Li, the leader, turned over and dismounted, holding a full water bag in both hands and kneeling on one knee to Hou Junji.

"The end will be lucky to live up to his life and bring back the water."

"OK!" Hou Junji took the water bag and felt the cold in his hand. At that moment, he waved his hand and said, "everyone, there is no way to be a man. My army has water."

"There's water!" suddenly the whole army cheered.

The generals of all armies came forward one after another, unloaded the full water bags on the backs of 3000 war horses and distributed them among the armies. A group of officers and men quickly replenished water for people and horses and slightly alleviated their hunger and thirst. Only after experiencing the pain of water shortage in the Gobi can they understand the value of water source. There is still a long way to go ahead. Relying on the water in the water bag alone, We need to save some money.

"Start at full speed, and be sure to pass through the Gobi Desert as fast as possible!" Hou Junji waved his big hand. With water supply, the Tang army immediately became lively.

Hou Junji was relieved when he saw the resurrected army. He put down the heavy stone in his heart. This time, he set out in advance. Although the process was tortuous, the result was still very satisfactory. He successfully passed the most difficult step in the Gobi. With these water, he could quickly pass through the Gobi and reach Gaochang.

Gaochang never expected that he would send troops so early. This time, he wanted to take Gaochang by surprise and win the fighter.

"I will eat Gaochang, and the West Turks can't keep it, I said." Hou Junji said firmly in his heart.
