Chapter 43: One of the horse's blood felts

Valley under the lamp.

Yang Yi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He was brave and brave on the battlefield, but when he was calm, he was far inferior to Guo Luo.

After breaking up with Longxiang Camp, Guo Shidao arranged for Yingyang Camp to rest, but Yang Yi could rest? He was full of worry and just thought: "How is Brother Mai, how is Aluo and the others? How is Longxiang Camp? Can those little people in the Ding Shangcheng resist?"

To be precise, although Ding Shangcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not a first-class natural danger. Yang Yi has seen the viciousness of Sekan twice. When he went to Julan City, he secretly saw Sekan's troops passing by. With an adventurous person like Yang Yi, he did not dare to rush to harass the strict troops. The second time he was to lure the enemy with Longxiang Camp. Yang Yi thought to himself that if Sekan was chasing Yingyang Camp at that time, he would not be sure whether he could escape.

Murong Chunhua came to see him several times, but when he saw this, he couldn't say anything at first, but later he couldn't help but sneer and said, "No wonder people say that the Yang family is not as good as the Guo family after all."

Yang Yi was stunned and asked, "What did you say?"

Murong Chunhua said: "I said, everyone said behind the scenes that the Yang family is frivolous and irritable, and is far less calm than the Guo family. Although he has made many outstanding achievements, it is just the quality of a general. Speaking of the quality of a general, it is a completely different level of quality."

Although Yang Yi and Guo Luo are friends of Qingmei’s childhood friends, they are also rivals who have been competing with each other since childhood. They are quiet, "obedient" children are always more liked by adults, and "disobedient" children, so the older generation has always had a higher evaluation of Guo Luo than Yang Yi. Yang Yi was dissatisfied when he was naked. At this time, Murong Chunhua said in person and said angrily: "What did you say!"

Murong Chunhua said, "If Aluo had been here, he would not have been as restless as you. The bonfire in the city of Dengshang City was not extinguished every night, and we kept coming back to report, which shows that Long Xiang and Zhenwu were still safe. Since Sekan surrounded Dengshang City, he was unable to attack, and it can be seen that he had fallen into our calculations. Since that is the case, why should we worry unnecessary?"

Although he was Yang Yi's deputy, he was a few years older than Yang Yi, and he was like Yang Yi's brother in personal relationships.

Yang Yi was not a fool either. He knew that his deputy was using provocation to persuade him. He calmed his anger and sighed softly and said, "I don't know, it's just... I'm just that I have such a temperament. Even though I know it's useless, I can't help but be anxious."

Murong Chunhua said: "Although personality cannot be fully moved, the skill of nourishing energy can still be learned. Look at Special Envoy Zhang, to be honest, when he arrived in Xinshuye City, he said that martial arts skills were not good, and that he had not enough experience. I secretly watched several times in the battle. He saw that he was not only frivolous, but also his eyes were flashing, and his hands and feet were trembling. It was obviously very scared. At that time, although we respected him as an imperial envoy, they kept laughing at him as a literati, who could not go to the battlefield, nor could he fight. He was not serious when he lived in peace, and he liked to make frivolous teasing words. He occasionally made some contributions and was proud.

It was very shallow and ridiculous. But how about now? In the past few months, he has become a different person. Although his martial arts are not first-class, he has dared to fight. He has become calm and courageous. He is not serious in his daily life, but he can turn this injustice into a temperament of soldiers close to him. Even that pride has also become arrogant. When he is in the battle, he always uses some inexplicable words to say something unbelievable. However, everyone can't help but feel excited when he hears it - even me, I often think that it is a very pleasant thing to follow him!"

This "very cool thing" is clearly Zhang Mai's term. Over the past few months, Zhang Mai's words, actions and even thinking patterns have deeply affected the generals and soldiers of the Tang army.

"It can be seen that nature may be difficult to change, but through training, it can be developed in a good direction. Since Special Envoy Zhang can do it, why can't you? I have really benefited a lot from dating Special Envoy Zhang in the past few months. What I benefited is not only the way to think about things, but also his ability to keep improving."

Yang Yi was also a little stunned when he heard this. Thinking about the changes in Zhang Mai over the past few months, it was indeed as Murong Chunhua said, and suddenly he had confidence in the Ding Shangcheng, "Because Brother Mai is there!"

In fact, like Xiao Shitou, he already had blind trust in Zhang Mai, but the degree of this blindness varies.

"However," said Yang Yi: "How should I exercise?"

"Your points and shortcomings, I have already said just now. Your advantage is that your strengths are bravery and strong, while your disadvantages are that you are restless and easy to violent! So the method of training is to continue to strengthen your strengths and make up for your shortcomings at the same time." Murong Chunhua said: "And now is a good opportunity for you to hone your mind - don't think about the outcome of the Lantern City, that's the matter of Special Envoy Zhang. Since we believe that he does not need to worry. Let yourself calm down! You must know that once Special Envoy Zhang is using tenacity to drag Sekan to exhaust him, and then we will make a thunderous blow to the Uighurs, and then you will become the sharpest knife among them!"

Yang Yi nodded to mediate the restlessness in his heart. Seeing that his face gradually became calm and his eyes gradually calmed down, he felt happy and said, "Come on, let's play a game of chess!"

Lights up to the city.

The battle from the next day was simply a test of the soldiers' patience with thirst.

On this day, each person only got a cup of water and swallowed it together when eating dry food. Everyone licked the water-filled utensils. In order not to be too thirsty, most people tried not to speak. When the enemy did not attack, they tried not to move. They hid in the shadows to avoid the water in their bodies due to the heat and sweating. When urine - if there was any, they tried to hold it as much as possible, and some people couldn't hold it in, so they put the urine in a leather bag - no one had drunk urine on the first day, but who knows in the future?

This is still a war, it is clearly a comparison of the ability to suffer from life.

However, this is true for fighting in the desert. The most important quality is not explosive power, but patience! What everyone strives for is not who is stronger, but who will be "not weak" in the end.

Often it is: whoever of the two still has the strength to pick up the knife in the end, then he will win! Because the enemy may not even have the strength to escape!

Whoever is more tenacious will be able to endure it, and the enemy cannot bear it until it is unable to bear it, then it is time to reap the results of the battle, and the results are the enemy's head!

Most of the people in Longxiang Camp were from poverty. Before they met Zhang Mai, their daily lives were not much better than they are now, so many people could bear it. When they saw the special envoy Zhang Mai and the vice-captain Guo Luo were the same as themselves, everyone had no complaints.

After all, this is just a temporary wartime opportunity, and it will be fine if you have to go through these few days.

And some rumors spread that Special Envoy Zhang could get wet sand.

Someone also discovered that more than a dozen Minzhuang had been sent to the lowlands of the dried lake, and everyone was holding a shovel when they set off.

Are they going to dig wet sand?

Among the soldiers, well-informed people once heard that An Liuyi had dug a well in the lowlands of the Drunk Lake and could not dig water.

However, according to Zhang Mai's estimates, although the well water cannot be dug out, there should be wet sand on the bottom of the dry sand.

If there is wet sand, you can suck out the water! Then Tang Jun will still have hope.

"Is there really wet sand?"

"Of course there is, of course there is!" Xiao Shitou pointed at him: "What Special Envoy Zhang said! What he said was gold when he fell to the ground!"

But the Tang army, like Xiaoshitou, who believed in Zhang Mai in infinitely blindly, were not the majority. Most people still had the conditions to trust Zhang Mai, and they were still a little worried. Many of them actually had the experience of living in the desert. When they touched the dry sand under their feet, they were not considering how strong the Uighurs were, but thinking: "Can water be digging out in such a place?"

Is there any wet sand underground? Although Ding Hanshan is an expert in this field, everyone always peeks at Zhang Mai's eyes intentionally or unintentionally, which is very encouraging. They saw calmness, calmness and confidence in Zhang Mai's eyes! This made everyone see hope!

"How is it? Have you seen Special Envoy Zhang?"

"See it."

"How is he?"

"After the Uighur retreated, I saw him walking leisurely. He was blocking his dragon mask and couldn't see his face, but his eyes were full of nonchalance."

"Ah, it seems that he must be confident. Most of the wet sand is there."

"Yeah, there must be some!"

In the thirst, we muster up the courage to survive with the greatest desire to survive. This is fighting against the sky and the earth!

Relatively speaking, the struggle with the Uighurs became less uncomfortable.

No matter how strong the Hulu is, can he be stronger than the torture of thirst? Can he be stronger than the world?

"Running—"

On that day, another team of Uighurs rushed up with a weak energy. The sound of "rush" was not as confident as he said.

Liu Heihu licked the crack on his lips and a malicious smile on his face.

"What are you doing?" Murong Yang asked from the side.

"I suddenly thought of a way to quench my thirst."

"Ah!" It's like when I was in the army for three years, I suddenly saw a young woman with plump breasts and fat buttocks, and like a starving ghost, I smelled the fragrance of rice on the edge of hell. Everyone next to me was immediately attracted by this sentence, and everyone raised their ears.

Liu Heihu polished his teeth that could not be covered by his lips and said, "You can't do it."

"What's not okay!" Tian Hao and Qiu Ziqian and others shouted: "Except for women who cannot eat together, eat meat and drink water together. This is brother! Why can't it be okay?"

Even Zhang Mai couldn't help but come over and asked, "Heihu, what are your ways to quench your thirst?"

Liu Heihu grinded his teeth and said with a smile: "When the Uighurs approach, don't use swords and guns, just rush over and hug them, pull them crooked, and follow..."

"How about it?"

"So you bite it down with your teeth, wow--" Liu Heihu seemed to think of the scene where the red liquid was spraying out: "Haha, won't it quench your thirst?"

Guo Luo was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that he was talking about drinking the enemy's blood! He was about to laugh dryly and said, "Heihu can tell jokes too." However, several generals and soldiers nodded there and said, "Well, the idea is good, the idea is good."

Xiao Shitou asked seriously: "Brother Mai, is human blood delicious? How to drink it?"

When the Uighur soldiers crawled up on this day, they found that the Tang soldiers had many naked eyes, "What are they staring at our necks? But they don't take bows and arrows." The eyes were like leopards seeing prey, and like a group of hungry ghosts seeing delicious food, and some people were even licking their lips!

This terrible look made all the approaching Uighurs unable to help but shrink their necks.

There was a Uighur who was not careful for a moment. When he was raising his body, a rope suddenly threw over in the flash, and it actually caught a Uighur, a small stone sieve!

"careful!"

The Uighurs quickly took the shield and took a few steps back, but saw Xiao Shitou pressing the Uighur prisoner against the wall in a posture of a hungry tiger capturing a sheep, beating his neck, and asking Liu Heihu: "Brother Heihu, where are you biting? Here? Here? Here?"

When the captured Uighur saw him saying that, he pressed the various parts of his neck to search for the major arteries. He suddenly understood and shouted: "No! Don't eat me! Please, don't eat me!" A dirty stinking came out, and he was so scared that he was so scared that he was urinating!

Xiao Shitou said angrily: "What are you doing? You're so dirty! You have no appetite!" He kicked him down, and the Uighur fell to death, but he was not dead yet. He used his hands and feet together and rolled down the mountain. The Tang army soldiers in the wall laughed in unison, but no one shot him to death.

When the Uighurs fled back to their team, they would encounter a story, and everyone who heard it was terrified.

"These Tang Kou, they actually eat people!"

"No wonder, I said where did the corpses go before."

"What did you say? The corpse? Could it be..."

No one dared to continue talking. But when he thought of the scene of Tang Kou on the mountain "eating people", his pores were filled with air conditioning. When he looked at the lamp on the city at night, he felt that the ghosts were so angry that it seemed as if there were not a group of soldiers, but a group of devils stationed inside!

"Be careful, be careful, don't be caught, those Tang Kou cannibals!"

"If I were caught, I would rather commit suicide!"

"Don't commit suicide. If they commit suicide, they will eat the corpse! If they die on it, the corpse is eaten, and maybe the soul will not be able to enter heaven, but will also go all out of their stomachs."

"What! Real God, then what way we have to live."

Three long days have passed, and this long feeling is the common feeling between the two sides on the mountain and the mountain. During these three days, the Uighurs' attacks were always intermittent and listless. The little stone trapped the Uighur soldier that time and found that his lips were also white - just like a layer of salt on his lips, which was also a sign of thirst.

"The other party is also short of water!" Xiao Shitou came to Zhang Mai excitedly afterwards.

After the news spread, a few cheers rang out from the Tang army!

Although our side lacks water, if the other side is also lacking water, then each other is equal, and the two sides will fight for perseverance and determination!

However, Tang Jun's excitement did not last long.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, a cheerful cry suddenly erupted at the foot of the mountain!

Some Uighurs raised water bags high, showed off along the cavalry team, and even dripped water on their heads. All Uighurs shouted happily when they saw it, "Water, water! Huh, Huh!"

They were drinking happily at the foot of the mountain, as if they were not drinking water, but fine wines from heaven!

When the soldiers in the city of Deng Shangcheng saw each other, they could see the Adam's apple moving up and down, while some were sticking out their tongues. If it weren't for the superiors watching, some people would almost rush down to grab water and drink!
