As the grandson of the military god Li Jing, even if Li Yexu did not learn Li Jing's "Weigong Military Law", he also knew it clearly under the influence of his ears and eyes.

In order to supply drinking water, even the Fujian army did not bring many horses and camels, and most of them were left in the hands of the 10,000 palace rear troops guarding the seashore, but the spring water that was still flowing vigorously this morning, why did it stop flowing?

Water is the lifeblood of the whole army, and the expression on his face is as gloomy as the dark sky, Li Yexu hurriedly followed a group of aggrieved government soldiers to the Zuopinzi camp, where the chaotic government soldiers had already exploded, and there were government soldiers everywhere who were carrying buckets and scolding, and some even fought.

"The general is here, get out of the way!"

The leader of the government soldiers who found Li Yexu didn't know the sorrow of his main general, and shouted very proudly, the Fujian army system was strict, and the awe of the main general, the government soldiers who surrounded the spring gradually dispersed, and even the one who had only received a small half bucket retreated to the side.

In awe and expectant eyes, Li Yexu worriedly stepped on the still wet stone and walked to the stream, the spring water that flowed into a small puddle in the morning has now dried up to the bottom, only a wet piece of mud remains, and the original small water flow like tap water is even more pitiful with only a few drops of water left.

How is this possible?

Just when Li Yexu's brows were tightly locked, he ran over in a hurry with the sound of horses' hooves, and squeezed in from the outside, Sheng Lianshan was rarely full of serious anxiety and dragged Li Yexu to the side, looked left and right, and no one followed, so he muttered close to Li Yexu's ear.

"Bad thing, Brother Li, my Zuo Qianniuwei's water source suddenly dried up!"

"Another one!"

This time, Li Yexu, who has always been calm, couldn't help but exclaim.

The left and right military guards of the Fujian army and 20,000 government soldiers are stationed on the hillside in a zigzag shape, the government soldiers are on the top, the left military guard is slightly higher, followed by the right military guard.

Half an hour later, in the silence of Sheng Lianshan's anxiety and Li Yexu's anxieties, the last drop of water in the spring of Right Wuwei was also drained, leaving only the still damp ground and the faces of the officers of the Fujian army looking at each other.

"General, how's this? Why don't we withdraw our troops? ”

After being silent for a long time, Meng Yu, the governor of Luochuan Zhichong Mansion, couldn't help but ask, this person is about less than thirty, and he is the youngest in a group of captains, so he has the least scruples about speaking.

However, the impulsive words touched everyone's hearts, and more than 20 commanders and commanders of the left and right Qianniu Guards, the captains all focused their eyes on Li Yexu and Sheng Lianshan.

It's not that they are not brave enough, many of them have followed Li Jie through previous wars, especially the generals who have been promoted to generals by veterans who have returned from Arabia alive, and it is because they have fought in thirsty West Asia that a group of generals know the importance of water.

"Are you going to escape?"

also felt this scorching gaze, Sheng Lianshan immediately pulled out his knife angrily and scolded, listening to Sheng Lianshan's roar, the expected generals lowered their heads one after another, this kung fu, Li Yexu, who had been pinching his chin and being silent, reached out to block Sheng Lianshan's chest and pushed him back.

The guy who stopped the eyes was unconvinced and inserted the knife back, Li Yexu immediately clenched his arms into fists, and said loudly.

"You are also thinking about Damin, thinking about the soldiers, this is the etiquette of the general, and the general apologized on behalf of General Sheng!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Seeing in disbelief, Li Yexu really bowed, and was stupid for a moment, and dozens of senior generals were anxiously bowing and bowing back, which made Sheng Lianshan snort coldly.

"It's not that Ben doesn't want to lead everyone to withdraw, but he can't!" After a salute, Li Yexu pointed back with an excited expression: "Everyone has also seen it today, no more than 10,000 Arab coyotes detour behind us, if we withdraw at this time, these coyotes in the back bite us, the Arabs in front are taking advantage of the situation to attack, losing the protection of the terrain, including the general, General Sheng, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to Beijing alive!"

This is the truth, and the generals and colonels of the Fujian army, who were already in danger of cutting off the water, turned even pale, or was that Meng Yu the first to shout with a pale face: "So, we are all dead?"

"Not yet!" Looking at the panic of the officers under his command, Li Yexu was much calmer, and said solemnly to a group of officers: "Six days! As long as they hold out for six days, the army of the King of Min will arrive from Damascus, and everyone will be saved! ”

No water for six days! This is an extremely difficult challenge, but the matter has come to this point, it is not okay not to accept it, silently chattering, dozens of senior generals finally became silent, bowed down in unison, and saw that the generals had regained their calm, and Li Yexu also ordered unceremoniously.

"All the water stocks in all prefectures and battalions have been confiscated and distributed in a unified manner, and those who have private histories will be beheaded! The generals returned to the camp to appease the sergeants and declare the current situation, there is no need to stabilize the morale of the army! ”

"Whoa!"

In the neat answer, the mentally prepared Fujian army officers dispersed.

This sudden situation is really a desperate situation, the news is impossible to hide, as early as when the water was cut off, many sergeants already knew that insisting on impeachment would only cause greater riots, it is better to tell the truth openly and honestly, so that the soldiers have their own choices in their hearts.

However, Li Yexu's series of policies were carried out under Sheng Lianshan's face, seeing that his friend Yin Shangong's gloomy face was sulking and silent, Li Yexu hurriedly hugged his fists and apologized: "The situation is urgent, junior brother Meng Lang, and I hope that my brother will forgive me."

"Okay, our brothers don't need this false courtesy, one sings black face, the other sings white face, it's all said in the play, Lao Sheng also knows!"

Having said that, Sheng Lianshan's tangled face finally loosened a little, but before Li Yexu could breathe a sigh of relief, Sheng Lianshan actually walked to the camp with his head down.

"Brother Sheng, where are you going?"

"Find some people to dig up this spring, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, this Arab evil sect really knows the demon law, so that Lao Tzu can't drink water?"

Seeing that the wind and fire of Shenglian Mountain had disappeared, Li Yexu couldn't help crying and laughing even more helplessly.

…………

Amid all kinds of rumors, panic and hardship, the Min army had a difficult night.

Early in the morning, the Min army, who had not slept well at all, got up early, lined up at the cooking class, and received the water source.

Everyone's drinking water was collected and placed in a large wooden barrel, and only a few mouthfuls of water were taken by one person, shaking the empty kettle, and the large group of Min soldiers lamented and went to their respective arrays with the kettle, ready to meet the challenges of the new day.

The three springs were all dug into deep pits, the hard rocks can be quite difficult to dig, digging until the second half of the night, only then came out of the half pit of turbid water, but did not wait for the Fujian army responsible for digging the sappers to breathe a sigh of relief, the water was visible to the naked eye and shallow, only a dozen buckets were hit, and the springs dried up again.

In the early morning, the bull temper Sheng Lianshan, who had recovered his eyesight, was wiped out of his temper, and he had to sigh weakly.

The Arabs were not idle last night, and compared with the Fujian army, the Arabs have more endless manpower, and there were more than ten big pits in the empty mountain valleys yesterday this morning, and the pits are all turbid water sources, and they seem to be constantly rising upward, on the edge of the pits, countless camels, Arab horses are drinking with low heads, and the Min army who are kneading the shriveled kettles are jealous in their hearts.

I don't know if the Arabs were blind cats and rats, or deliberately, this blow really hit the soft underbelly of the Fujian army, the mountain spring water in the mountains of Lebanon is mostly groundwater accumulated in the rainy season, squeezed to the top of the mountain under the huge pressure of the rocks, like a natural water pump.

The Arabs dug into the water layer and relieved this pressure, and Li Yexu's spring water naturally dried up.

In the past, he sneered at his grandfather's words as a general who knew astronomy and geography, and sneered at trivial things, and suffered a big loss, but now Li Yexu has only discovered what is called a wise saying, but unfortunately it is too late at this time, and his face is dull, Li Yexu carried a sword on the command platform that was higher than a block, the front line, leading the elite cavalry, Sheng Lianshan was also like a lion lying behind the infantry formation, intending to deal with the Arabs who attacked at any time.

With the guarantee of six days, the Fujian army was twisted into a rope again, and the whole army gritted its teeth and waited for the Arabs to attack like a sea of mountains.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people, this time tens of thousands of Arabs were still as unhurried as yesterday, and they did not even mobilize a single soldier for half the morning.

Even Li Yexu, who had the best patience, was a little impatient, and the former barracks post of the Fujian army suddenly became noisy again.

"General, trebuchet!"

Anxiously holding up the binoculars, in Li Yexu's gloomy gaze, more than a dozen black, more than five meters of behemoths were slowly approaching his direction from the direction of the Arab light cavalry under the drag of camels.

In an instant, his pupils shrank, and Li Yexu screamed in disbelief.

"How is that possible, trebuchet!"

However, it did happen, the huge slinging arm that was connected by the bamboo shoots was slowly set up in front of the two armies under the mountain, the heavy counterweight was tied under the slinging arm, and in the strange trumpet of the Arabs, a basket of dark things was tied to the leather rope at the tip of the slinging arm, watching the camel pull, the weight of several tons was slowly pulled up, and the anxious Li Yexu yelled anxiously.

"Whole army, defense!"

In the sound of banging, the heavy oars were tilted and put down, covering the front row, and all kinds of square shields and round shields were also quickly spliced together, and in an instant, there was an extra layer of shield wall on the head of the Fujian army!

Seeing the smoking Arabs throwing their arms, Li Yexu clenched the hilt of his sword......
