"How many miles are there to get out of the desert!" Hou Junji smacked his lips and licked his dry lips with spit, but it was only in vain, and he only felt more thirsty.

"Back to the general, our army has already walked 1,300 miles of the Gobi Desert, and there are only 700 miles of the Gobi Desert left." Xin Fang'er stepped forward to report.

Hou Junji said with a bitter face: "There are only seven hundred miles left? However, these 700 miles are not easy to walk! ”

If it was usual, he Hou Junji would not have taken these seven hundred miles in his eyes, but the seven hundred miles at this moment was the biggest difficulty he had to overcome in his life.

"Don't blame yourself, the lack of water in the desert is a well-known thing, and it will be a disaster whenever the army marches." Xin Fang'er didn't dare to lead the disaster to Mo Jiazi again this time, and persuaded softly.

Hou Junji looked at the hungry army worriedly, frowned, and said: "General Ben is worried that if this continues, we haven't arrived in Gaochang yet, and most of the soldiers of the whole army have already been lost." ”

Relying solely on the water source left by the merchants along the Silk Road, it is already the limit to support an army of 30,000, but Hou Junji led a full 100,000, plus there are many horses, and the water distributed under the flat share is even less, and the whole army is in hunger and thirst.

Poof,

A soldier was so hungry and thirsty that he could no longer walk, and fell directly to the ground.

Seeing someone fainting, the entire army suddenly stopped and began to commotion.

"What's going on?" Hou Junji shouted.

Xin Fang'er hurriedly went to investigate the situation, and quickly hurriedly replied: "General Qiyu, there are soldiers in the rear who have fallen. ”

"What about the medics? Let the military doctor go to the treatment! Hou Junji roared angrily.

Xin Fang'er was silent for a moment, everyone knew that this soldier was caused by a lack of water, and without water, even if Sun Simiao came in person, I am afraid it would be in vain.

"Pass the order, the armies will continue to move forward, and the army must not be stopped!" Hou Junji said coldly, this is not that he is ruthless, but every time he delays in the desert, the situation of the army is more dangerous.

After Hou Junji gave the order, he rushed to the direction of the fallen soldiers.

"General! Please forgive your subordinates for not being able to follow the general to the west. When the soldier saw Hou Junji coming, he said weakly.

Although Hou Junji was arrogant, he treated the soldiers quite favorably, and won the hearts of the soldiers, which is also the reason why he was deeply supported by the soldiers and won many battles.

Hou Junji said softly: "Don't talk too much, General Ben will definitely lead you out of this Gobi." ”

Hou Junji picked up the kettle in his hand and handed it to the soldier's mouth, but found that even the kettle he was carrying was empty, and he could only pour out a few drops of water, which was not enough to moisten his lips.

"Whoever still has water, bring it quickly, and if not, go to other armies to borrow it." Hou Junji roared angrily.

All the soldiers were silent, the army had gone deep into the desert, they had been hungry and thirsty for several days, where was there any water, and this soldier was just the first to fall, I am afraid that more soldiers would fall in the future, burying their bones in this piece of yellow sand.

Crash!

Suddenly, a kettle was handed to Hou Junji, and a pleasant sound of water sounded like heaven in Hou Junji's ears.

"There's water!" Hou Junji snatched the kettle and handed the water to the soldier's mouth, the soldier swallowed a few mouthfuls greedily, and then reluctantly moved his mouth away, because everyone knew how precious water was at this time.

Hou Junji carefully unscrewed the kettle, handed it to the visitor, got up and asked with a look of hope, "Is there still water in the firearms supervisor?" ”

He didn't need to look at the person, and he knew that this person was the Mo family, because most of the other soldiers used water bladders made of cowhide, and only the wealthy firearms supervisor used the special iron kettle made by Mojia Village.

Merton took the kettle and nodded: "The firearms superintendent carries flammable gunpowder, and fire prevention has always been the top priority of the firearms superintendent, so wherever the firearms superintendent goes, there must be a hose car." ”

"A cart of water!" Hou Junji suddenly breathed sluggishly, and felt a surprise falling from the sky, he originally thought that Mo Jiazi might just put a few pots of water, but he didn't expect that there was still a cart of water, which was great news.

But soon Hou Junji's joy dissipated, and he looked at the kettle in Merton's hand and said with difficulty: "Then how much water is left in this car?" ”

In his opinion, the reason why Merton still has water in the kettle must be because of the use of this cart of water.

Morton was displeased when he heard this: "What does this mean, general, at all times, the safety of gunpowder is the first priority, and the firearms supervisor will not use this cart of water no matter how thirsty he is." ”

Hou Junji's eyes lit up again: "Then this car is still full?" ”

Merton nodded solemnly and said, "The firearms supervisor has not used a drop of water." ”

Hou Junji looked at Mo Jiazi's equally chapped lips, immediately believed Mo Dun's words, and thought for a while: "General Ben naturally knows that gunpowder is extremely important, but Mo Sacrifice Wine has also seen the situation of the army, and I don't know if I can .................. it. ”

Merton said without hesitation: "This is nature, no matter how important gunpowder is, it is not as important as the lives of soldiers, the meaning of the existence of gunpowder is to reduce the sacrifice of Tang soldiers, and the same is true of the waterwheel used by the firearms supervisor to extinguish the fire." ”

"Okay, the ink sacrifice wine really understands righteousness, and Hou admires it." Hou Junji glanced at Morton deeply and said.

Merton turned around and shouted, "Xue Rengui, immediately order the firearms superintendent to pull all the vehicles apart, at least thirty steps apart, and then pull the water crane cart over." ”

"Yes! Sacrificial wine! Xue Rengui answered, and soon, a water dragon car was pulled in front of Hou Junji.

"Firearms have water!"

The news of Mo Jiazi's treatment of soldiers with water quickly came in the army, and the whole army's heart was suddenly shocked, and all of a sudden, a group of generals rushed in the direction of the firearms prison, for fear that it would be too late.

"Sure enough, it's a cart full of water!" Niu Jinda turned on the top switch of the water hook car regardless of the image, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the splash that was about to overflow inside.

The other generals were also overjoyed, originally the army thought that it was at the end of the road, but did not expect that there was still a cart of water that could be used, and the carriage of the firearms supervisor was extremely atmospheric, and this special water crane car was also much larger than the ordinary water hook car, and the water storage was larger.

However, the joy of the generals quickly disappeared, and a cart full of water seemed to be a lot, once it was distributed to 100,000 soldiers, I am afraid it would be good to have a mouthful, not to mention the horses with more water.

"This cart of water can only be used for emergency relief, it is not enough to solve the crisis of the army, and if our army can no longer find a water source, it will also be in trouble." Xue Wanjun said solemnly.

Hou Junji said solemnly: "Ink sacrifice wine, the ink family ink skills are unique in the world, I don't know if there is a secret skill to collect water in the desert!" If the army's lack of water can be solved, Hou will definitely remember this favor. ”

Faced with the crisis of the 100,000 army, Hou Junji finally lowered his noble head and bowed his head to ask Mo Jiazi for advice.

In an instant, all the generals focused on Merton's body, Mo Jiazi has repeatedly created miracles along the way, if anyone has the best hope of breaking the crisis, it must be Mo Jiazi.
