Chapter 889: Day 2

Chapter 889: Day 2The night passed by 'quietly.'

Nan Luo thought that he wouldn't be able to sleep at all, but Nan Hua helped him to fall asleep. In the end, he woke up when it was morning and saw the enemies retreated along with Old Master Nan coming out of his tent.

Nan Luo: "..." so Grandfather also sleep.

He thought that his grandfather would be going to the frontline so happily and acted like how a great general would.

*cough*

He thought too much.

"You finally wake up, little rascal." Old Master Nan smiled. "Did you have a good night sleep?"

"Why are you also sleeping, Grandfather? I thought that you're the one who lead the soldiers..."

"No way." Old Master Nan scoffed. "It's called taking turns. When your enemies chose to have a battle day and night, there's no way that you wouldn't do the same. If you decided to go all out all the time, you'll only exhaust yourself."

"Wouldn't it mean that the battle also ends faster?"

"Not necessarily. We don't usually fight at night and only when it's daylight except on special circumstances. If you don't have far greater ability compared to your enemy, you're just going to exhaust the soldier's stamina by going all out even at night.

By taking turns, we can rest and the battle will still continue by the others. I'll naturally take rest since I can't stay awake for that long anymore."

If it was in the past, Old Master Nan wouldn't hesitate to charge and fought three days and three nights without stopping if it means victory. But since he had grown older and had physical limitations, he couldn't do so anymore.

He had to think properly before engaging in battles.

That was why he decided to rest.

"...But I don't see the other generals getting any rest."

Old Master Nan let out dry laugh. He knew very well that those hard headed generals were all fighting at the frontline because they could do it. There was no problem for them to not getting any sleep for now.

They were still young and very energetic. Besides, they wouldn't even think about the matter of resting and sleeping for the time being. All they could do right now was to fight and fight again.

"They know that they're not a match against Fei Yang Kingdom in a frontal ground battle. What they're trying to do is delaying time."

"Delaying time?"

Feng Ao Kuai was inspecting the ground and stood up when he had finished. He nodded. "I believe that they're going to use their best advantage soon enough."

River.

Wei Da Kingdom was filled with various rivers from the small ones to the big ones.

There were plenty of them.

"I see."

Nan Luo was amazed to see that Feng Ao Kuai could guess so fast.

Nan Hua pointed at the ground. "The soil is damaged and the well is poisoned. Wei Da Kingdom had long decided to abandon this place."

"Wait, the well is poisoned? How are we supposed to drink then?"

"General Chi had sent some low ranked commanders to lead the soldiers towards the nearby river to fetch water for us to drink."

They carried foods but water usually needed the nearby well or river because the amount they could bring was limited. It was not like they didn't want to bring water, but carrying the large amount of water needed for so many soldiers to drink was not easy.

It was especially so when Han Zhong City was located quite far away from here.

They needed another source.

"When did it happen?"

"When you're still sleeping."

Nan Luo: "..."
