Great Wei Nengchen

"Woo! - woo! woo!"

The horn of desolation sounded, summoned the scattered soldiers, gathered in one place, and reorganized the formation. A dilapidated apricot-yellow banner was also raised high, waving left and right, boosting morale, no matter how many hardships they experienced-- The soul of the Han army is immortal!

After the men and horses rectified, they left the almost filled depression and tried to return to the original camp, but after searching around, people were surprised to find that the camp had disappeared!

Under the raging wind, the banners, railings, tents, pots and stoves... all disappeared without a trace. The camp with a radius of more than ten miles was also covered by thick yellow sand. It is conceivable that if If the troops didn't withdraw, what would happen--the whole army was wiped out, and no one was spared!

"Swoosh! Whoosh! - Swipe! Swipe!"

"Hurry up and dig out the supplies. Without these logistical supplies, how can the army fight?"

........................

It was too late to be grateful, and the soldiers rushed to the sand dunes, like groundhogs, digging desperately with both hands. The camp can be abandoned, but the supplies are indispensable, especially the ordnance, food, and water. The lifeblood of thousands of horses!

Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, and a group of generals were equally anxious. After more than ten days of arduous trek, more than half of the five hundred miles had passed, and they were about to approach the enemy's nest - Liucheng. They did not expect to encounter a big battle. Could it be that the storm is not blessed by the heavens?

After digging for a long time, people finally found some things. Most of the ordnance is made of steel, and the weight is relatively heavy, and they are all bundled together, so the loss is the smallest. They are just buried by yellow sand. After cleaning, they will not be delayed in use!

However, the loss of food and grass was heavy. Five hundred miles of yellow sand and vast sea, there was no vegetation for cooking, so they brought a lot of dried meat, dried vegetables, fried noodles, and fried rice. As a result, countless people were blown away by the wind and sand. Only three or four out of ten survived. Going hungry!

People can live for a month without food, but they will die in seven days without drinking water. There is no water source for five hundred miles. Cao Jun prepared more than 1000 carts and stored water in wooden barrels to supply people, horses, and camels to drink along the way, because the transfer was too hasty. , the vehicles were too late to drive away, and all were left in the camp!

After a night of strong winds, all the vehicles were overturned and buried under the yellow sand. The wooden barrels were also smashed by sand and gravel, and the clear water flowed away. Say, Cao Jun's water source is cut off!

The yellow sand is endless, there is no end in sight, the camp is overturned, and the water source is cut off. Under this situation, tens of thousands of soldiers are silent, everyone is trembling, their faces are ashen, and two words echo repeatedly in their hearts-"It's over!"

Without big camps and tents, you can still use the sky as your quilt and the ground as your bed. Anyway, you won’t be afraid of the cold in summer; without food and grass supplies, you can kill mules, horses, and camels, and you can survive anyway. If there is no water source, Within two days, the thirst will be unbearable and the whole army will collapse!

Some people can't help but ask, since you can kill mules, horses, camels, eat meat, and drink their blood, how can you die of thirst?

It is necessary to popularize a common sense. The blood of animals and humans tastes very salty. When you are in desperation, you can drink a few sips to save your life, but you can’t drink a lot for a long time. It will only drink more and more thirsty, and you will end up alive. Died of dehydration!

Besides, if all the war horses were killed, how would Cao Jun fight Karasuma and Xianbei's iron cavalry in the plains and wilderness after they walked out of the desert? Wouldn't that be death in vain?

"Woooo! - Without water, we won't be able to get out of this desert. I'm afraid it won't be long before we die of thirst!"

"I still have my wife, children, parents and relatives. If I die here, who will take care of them?"

"It's obviously a dead end, if you insist on bumping into him head-on, whoever tricked the big guy will cut him into pieces and shatter his bones into ashes!"

....................................

After narrowly escaping from death just now, they fell into desperation again. The soldiers were full of sorrow and anger, and if they didn't calm down their emotions, they might cause a mutiny?

Once the army is out of control, I'm afraid they will kill each other. At that time, who cares about the captains, generals, and prime ministers?

"The subordinates are incompetent in leading the way, causing the army to be in trouble, and they are willing to cut off the head of Xiang Shang, and apologize to the prime minister and the soldiers!"

Tian Chou's face was ashen, and he knelt on his knees to plead guilty. He wanted to lead the army out of Lulongkou, across five hundred miles of Jedi, and take Karasuma's lair-Liucheng in one fell swoop, and then pacify Liaoxi and Liaodong!

Unexpectedly, the weather is not good, there is a rare big storm, not to mention the heavy casualties, the food and water sources are almost cut off, and the [-] army is in a desperate situation. As a guide, I can only apologize with death!

"Mr. Zitai went through many hardships, led the army to crusade against the barbarians, and issued a warning in advance, allowing the army to escape the storm. Not only was he innocent, but he also made meritorious deeds. "

Cao Cao's face was cloudy and uncertain. He held the Yitian sword a few times, but he relaxed again. He supported Tian Chou with both hands, and comforted him with kind words, telling him not to blame himself too much!

If killing a guide officer can alleviate the grievances of the soldiers, Cao Cao will never be soft. The problem is that this responsibility is too great. Tian Chou's head is far from effective. Why kill innocent people indiscriminately?

Chapter 1100 The sky does not destroy Cao, and the earth is flooded with Ganquan!

"Hoo! - Hoo! Hoo!"

The soldiers were extremely thirsty, and their hearts were full of resentment, like a pile of dry firewood, as long as a spark popped out, it would immediately burst into flames. At that time, even if the dragon kings of the four seas came together, it would be difficult to extinguish the fire !

Under such circumstances, there must be a person with enough weight to stand up and take responsibility, but also to make use of the situation to try to resolve the grievances of the soldiers, and the only person with this status and ability is Cao Mengde!

"Meng De was ordered to hunt down thieves and pacify the lands of the Liao and Liao. Unfortunately, he has no talent and no morals. He has dragged down [-] soldiers and is in trouble. Food and water are cut off. Life and death are uncertain. Now only death can be used to apologize to the world!

After the truth slays itself, a ray of soul is immortal, and it will surely be played to the emperor of heaven, protecting [-] soldiers from the predicament, and returning to the Central Plains to reunite with their families. There is no regret in dying like this! "

........................

Cao Cao pulled out the Yitian sword and put it across his neck, ready to apologize to the soldiers with death. What he said was full of emotion and impassioned, and he even shed a few tears of sadness!

Of course, the traitor is ambitious and extremely cunning, so he would easily commit suicide, but he pretended to kill himself, so as to stabilize people's hearts and avoid triggering a mutiny!

"Your prime minister belongs to the country, how can you say the word 'death' lightly, please put down the sword quickly, and the general will give up his life in the end!"

"The last general is to be smashed to pieces, but he must also protect the prime minister, and get out of this desert desert. A big man cannot live without a prime minister, and the world cannot live without a prime minister!"

"Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooese!"

........................

The bitter trick really worked. Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Zhang Yun, Gao Lan... all rushed up one after another, or snatched the sword, for fear that Cao Cao would really kill himself, or knelt down and vowed to be loyal to the prime minister forever grown ups!

The surrounding soldiers also knelt down and made pleading voices. Since Prime Minister Cao took power, although he bullied the emperor and suppressed the officials, he was extremely domineering, but he was very kind to the people. After diligently persuading Sang Tian, ​​the dilapidated people's livelihood in the Central Plains slowly recovered!

He also personally commanded the army, crusaded the princes from all walks of life, ended the chaotic situation, and returned the people to a peaceful world. To put it bluntly, the hearts of the people in the Central Plains belong to the Cao family. I can't bear it!

Cao Cao didn't want to seek death, so he stuck his sword into the ground, hugged several generals around him, and sat on the ground crying loudly, just like a cuckoo crying blood. Under this situation, the surrounding generals and soldiers were also crying... ………

Tears can relieve emotions. After a lot of wailing, the mourning spirit of the soldiers was cut by more than half, and the morale of the army was temporarily stabilized. However, if you want to get out of this desperate land, you must find a source of water, otherwise Within three days, the army will surely fall apart!

"Please rest assured, Prime Minister, the general and the brothers under his command will do their best to find the water source and ensure that the army's logistics are worry-free!"

The ground squirrel came out from the crowd and knelt down to salute. Digger Jun was good at digging holes, and it was his duty to find water sources. He drew out the Yitian sword, wiped the dust on it with his sleeve, and wanted to hand it back to the Prime Minister!

Unexpectedly, when his fingers touched the tip of the sword, he felt a bit of coolness and a faint sense of moisture. Although it was extremely small, it was real. Tomb robbers traveled underground all year round, and they were very familiar with this feeling!

"Huh?--Swipe! Swipe! Swipe!"

........................

The chinchilla twitched in his heart. He first smelled the ground with his nose, and then quickly dug up. It was really like a big mouse. In a short while, he dug a deep hole. As his hands went deeper into the sand, the coolness became more It's getting thicker...

Cao Cao and a group of generals all stared wide-eyed, waiting for a miracle to appear. They were quite aware of the chinchilla's ability to dig holes to find treasure. Could it be that there was something unusual where the sword was inserted?

At the same time, several diggers ran over and took out some iron pipes from their pockets. They were egg-thin and hollow in the middle, with threads on both ends, and one of them had an oval pointed end. Slamming the heavy hammer into the ground is exactly the famous - Wuchou shovel!

This is a tool 'invented' by Xiao Yi. It has a simple structure and is easy to carry. It can go deep into the ground for more than ten feet. With the soil it brings out, it can be used to find out the actual situation underground. The equipment is given to the Digger Army. Grave Digger Artifact!

"Boom! Boom! -- Whoa! Whoa!"

The tip of the shovel went four or five feet deep into the ground, and the resistance suddenly became smaller, indicating that it had penetrated the thick soil layer, and there was a "squeaking" sound, and several diggers immediately judged that it was groundwater !

Sure enough, several people worked together to pull out the iron pipe just now, and a clear underground water flow rushed out, sprayed three or four feet high into the sky, and then sprinkled around - crystal clear, extremely beautiful!
