MTL - Unlimited Supplies: Take the Space Supermarket To Support the Right Minister-Chapter 492 no water to eat
Wu Kudan saw that Ting Mao was angry, so he turned his head to persuade several lieutenants.
The lieutenants are all cousins or cousins of Ting Mao, and one of them is Ting Mao's cousin. They also agreed that it is not appropriate to enter Yangcheng again.
Because it was too easy for them to get Linzhou City. The city gate was not broken, so the king of Linzhou led his people to withdraw from the south gate. When they attacked, it was an empty city.
Tell me, who would dare to continue chasing after this?
The king of Linzhou made it clear that he wanted to lure the enemy in!
Everyone agreed to withdraw, only Ting Mao disagreed with everyone.
Ting Mao was stubborn and insisted on attacking Yangcheng, Wu Kudan could only patiently analyze the pros and cons for Ting Mao.
"We have already conquered three cities in a row and obtained countless supplies. If you go back at this time, then you will be a general who won the battle and returned in triumph.
If you continue to attack Yangcheng, if you fall into the trap of the Liang army, all the achievements you have gained before will be in vain. I advise the general to accept it as soon as it is good! " Wu Kudan held back his anger, thinking to persuade this stubborn guy to go back first, and then go to the king to complain to Ting Mao after he goes back.
Ting Mao is a typical self-willed person who does not take hard and soft things. He insisted on continuing to attack Yangcheng and ordered the army to set off on another day.
Linzhou City is not far from Yangcheng. In just three days, Ting Mao stationed an army of 20,000 troops five miles away from Yangcheng.
Ting Mao asked the gang leader to set up a stove to fetch water for cooking, and at the same time sent a vanguard to spy on the military situation.
Tingmao's camp tent is set up in the center, and the tents set up by soldiers are guarded on the periphery.
Before the Huotou army set up the stove, there were soldiers one after another, foaming at the mouth and fainting on the ground, and the camp was in chaos for a while.
Ting Mao heard the sound, strode out of the tent, pointed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and asked the convulsed soldiers, "What's wrong? What happened to them?"
"General, just now I asked them to go to the river to fetch water. They may have drank the river water to be like this. This is because the Liang people poisoned the river!"
After listening to Ting Mao, he cursed, "Liang people are despicable, and they actually use such indecent methods.
Hmph, thinking that this kind of method can force me back, it's a whimsical idea. "
Ting Mao shouted for two lieutenants, pointed to one of them and said, "Didn't we pass by a village just now? Take someone to see the well in the village, can you drink water?
You take a team of people and go to the upper reaches of the river to see, try to protect the water source, and don't let cool people poison it again. "
This river water is running water, even if Liangren pours a lot of poison, it will drift with the flow. As long as Liangren does not continue to poison, and the water flows for a few days, the water will be clean and drinkable.
I just don’t know how far upstream the river is. If the Liang army poisons them every day upstream, they will be really hard to guard against!
A person may be able to go without food for three days, but if he does not drink water for three days, it is really fatal.
Ting Mao thought that the army carried limited water from Linzhou City, and immediately ordered everyone to save water, and not to drink water until the thirstiest.
The river water could not be used, and Hu Jun had no water to cook for a while, so Ting Mao had to send a thousand people to disperse and go to the villages along the way to fetch water.
"This **** cool man, he really set us up!" Ting Su led the people to several villages in a row, and every well was pasted with a note that the well was poisonous.
The people who posted the note were afraid that they would not be able to understand Great Liang’s writing, so they specially translated it in Hu Wen for them.
"General, when the king of Linzhou retreated, he must have poisoned all the water sources along the way. The Liang army is really insidious. General, what should we do? It really doesn't work. Let's go back and tell Da Xu Lun to withdraw the army." ?”
"Do you dare to talk about withdrawing troops in front of him? Go ahead and say it!" Ting Su gave the soldier who was speaking a hard look.
As long as they can persuade that stubborn Ting Mao, they are already on their way home.
The soldier thought of Wu Kudan's attendant who was stabbed to death by Da Xu Lun, and felt a chill in his neck, and he didn't dare to do things that would shake the morale of the army.
"Then what should we do?" No water source was found, and there was no business to go back!
"Keep looking!" Ting Su was helpless.
"But if we go any further, it will be dark!" The soldier boldly said again.
"Are you thirsty? What are you talking about!" Ting Su glanced at the water bag on the soldier's waist.
"Give me a sip of your water!" is an order, not a question.
Even if the soldiers were unwilling, they did not dare to disobey Tingsu.
Reluctantly handed the water bag to Ting Su, Ting Su shook the water bag, feeling that there was not much water left in it, so he raised his head and drank the water in the water bag.
The empty water bag was thrown back to the soldiers by Ting Su.
"Go, see if there are any living people in this village, and search every house to see if there is any water in their water tanks?" Although they couldn't get a lot of water to supply the army, they who came out to look for water could still Can't die of thirst?
The soldiers who got the order immediately started to search the village in twos and threes.
Before Linzhou City was lost, Su Jingchen had already sent people to transfer the villagers from nearby villages, and there was really no one in this village.
Although there was no one there, there was still a small amount of water. The soldier who was drunk by Ting Su was the first to find a large water tank. He scooped it up excitedly and drank it. water bladder filled.
The soldier was happily twisting the mouth of the water bag, when suddenly the abdominal pain was unbearable, the water bag fell to the ground with a bang, and the water splashed and wet the soldier's shoes and trousers.
"Water...the water is poisonous..." When the soldier's poison took hold, the other two people with him were gulping down the water. Seeing that the soldier was poisoned, they immediately clapped their throats in a panic, trying to swallow the poison they drank. The water was spat out, but it was too late, they only had time to curse their mothers in their hearts, and then they died.
Tingsu sat on the edge of the well in the center of the village, waiting for the soldiers to find water and come back, but he didn’t think that the team of 200 people he brought back had less than 100 people.
Tingsu cursed loudly, and when he had had enough, he quickly left the village with the rest of the people.
Ting Mao had a cold face, watching the teams of water search teams returning empty-handed, and his anger continued to soar.
It’s okay if you don’t find the water, but even half of the people are lost. People write notes telling you that the water is poisonous, so why drink it?
"I thought this was a bluffing method by Liang people, but I didn't expect them to really poison."
Wronged Baba.
Ting Mao wanted to curse again, "Stupid, then you think Liang Jun ran to the village and wrote you a note to scare you?"
"Then when they poison, they will poison. What kind of note do they write?" Most of the people who killed him lost more than half, only a few remained.
I haven’t heard of it, but there are reminders after poisoning.
"The battle of attacking the heart, the Liang army is planning to attack the heart!" Wu Kudan said suddenly.
"Big Xu Lun, there must be someone who is unparalleled in the Liang army. They have already set up a trap, waiting for us to get in. In my opinion, we have to retreat as soon as possible to best preserve our strength."
