North of the Ulungu River, south of the Ergiz, there is a desert Gobi area, at this time an army is moving forward with difficulty, this is the Southern Route Army commanded by Li Yanzong and Li Xiaoren, before entering this Gobi, the Xia Army can be said to have made sufficient preparations, but the plan can never catch up with the changes, who would have thought that in this vast desert Gobi Xia Army was lost, with the sun heating on his head, sweat is constantly flowing, if he can't find a water source, This brave and invincible army is about to be roasted to death by the scorching sun.
The whole army was already disheveled at this time, and there were two teenagers in this army, these two were Li Liangzuo's eldest son Li Bingchang and second son Li Wu; At this time, the two of them were as disheveled as the rest of the soldiers, and all the weights on their bodies were taken off, sloppy like a little flower begging on the street, at this time Li Wu was supporting Li Bingchang, Li Bingchang looked very weak, which was caused by dehydration.
"Brother, you are persistent, persistent, we will be able to go out soon."
Li Wu said while helping Li Bingchang to walk.
You may ask them why they don't ride horses, at this time both the horses and the horses are very weak, all the horses and camels are used to carry supplies, and some of the horses that are not in good health have died, and if people are riding at this time, it will not be long before these horses will be exhausted to death.
"Wu'er, listen to my brother's words, leave me here, my brother can't survive, you must take care of your father, queen mother and concubine after you go out," Li Bingchang said very weakly.
"Brother, don't worry, you'll be fine, I'm going to carry you out even if I carry it."
Li Wu said firmly to Li Bingchang.
After Li Wu finished speaking, he heard that Li Bingchang was no longer talking, and thought that Li Bingchang had acquiesced, so he immediately memorized Li Bingchang; Although Li Wu and Li Bingchang both received military training from Li Liangzuo, it is obvious that Li Wu's physique is much better than Li Bingchang's.
When the sun was three minutes old, the army encamped in a shady place; Many people may wonder if the day is so hot, then why not march at the party If the summer army marches at night, it will never see the sun the next day, the temperature difference between day and night is very large on the desert Gobi Desert, the biting cold wind can freeze people to death, and the night march is more dangerous, due to long-term malnutrition, many soldiers have night blindness.
The army set up camp on a Gobi Desert, Li Wu carried Li Bingchang to a tent and put it on the bed, and then hurriedly ran to find a military doctor, at this time Li Yanzong and Li Xiaoren also came, Li Bingchang is the prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, if there is any accident in this military operation, the two as the commander of the army can hardly escape the blame, so after the army camped, the two hurriedly came here to wait.
"Doctor, how is my eldest brother's condition?"
Li Wu asked Li Bingchang anxiously.
The military doctor shook his head and said: "The situation of the eldest prince is very bad, if there is no water, I am afraid that the eldest prince will be alive."
The military doctor didn't dare to say the next words, but everyone knew the seriousness of the matter, Li Wu was silent for a while and said, "Go and get a bowl." ” Soon, a soldier brought in a bowl, Li Wu rolled up his sleeve robe, took out a sharp dagger, and cut his wrist, and the sticky blood flowed down Li Wu's wrist drop by drop; Due to the severe lack of water, Li Wu's blood appeared very viscous.
Seeing Li Wu cutting his wrist, Li Xiaoren was shocked and said, "Second Highness, what are you doing here?"
Li Wu said to everyone: "Big brother and I have the same blood on their bodies, and now only I can save him." ” After putting out a bowl of blood, Li Wu's face turned pale, and the military doctor immediately bandaged Li Wu's wound and said to Li Wu: "Second Highness, you should pay more attention to rest these days. ” "There is a military doctor Lao, please give this bowl of blood to the eldest brother," Li Wu said to the military doctor very politely.
With the support of Li Xiaoren, Li Wu left the military tent, and Li Wu said to Li Xiaoren: "Uncle Huang, I want to go around." ” Li Xiaoren understood Li Wu's character, so he agreed: "Okay, come back early and rest." ” After Li Wu left, Li Xiaoren said to a few people around him: "You must protect Your Second Highness." ” "Yes, lowly command."
The lieutenant immediately took the order and left.
Li Wu left the camp with the captain and a few guards, not far from the camp Li Wu saw some green plants, such a scene on the Gobi Desert is very rare, Li Wu remembered what Li Liangzuo said when he gave himself a lesson, Li Wu said to the captain next to him: "I remember that my father told us that the reason why these plants can grow means that there is a certain source of water in this area, as long as we can get water, the army can survive." ” "Your Highness, are we going to dig a well here?"
the lieutenant asked Li Wu.
"Of course it's impossible to dig a well, and you won't get anything but sand and gravel by digging a well here."
Li Wu smiled and said; "Go back and tell the whole army that all the soldiers will come here with their swords and helmets before dawn tomorrow, and there will be water at that time."
After Li Wu returned to the camp, he told his thoughts to Li Yanzong and Li Xiaoren, although the two felt that it was a little unlikely, but they still chose to follow Li Wu's advice, and regarded it as a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
Li Wu took his sword, saw his helmet buried in the sand, and said, "You find a rack for your weapons to set up and fix them according to my appearance, and when the sun comes out, there will naturally be water." ” Everyone was skeptical of Li Wu's words, but they still did so, and when the sun first rose, the water droplets condensed on the cold weapon, and the water droplets fell freely along the weapon until they dripped into the vessel below; "There's water, there's water" I don't know who shouted, and in an instant, all the soldiers of the army found that there was a water source in the utensils under their weapons, although there was not much water, no one only had a small half bowl, but with this water, they could have the strength to get out of this desert Gobi; Because Li Wu's prestige in the army was also growing at this time, Li Wu used his intelligence to gain the trust of the officers and men of the whole army.
On the same day, on the shore of Lake Kyrgyz in the north, a cavalry duel was underway, in the face of the charge of the Naiban cavalry, Richard Han led his Anbei army to resist desperately, but Richard Han did not invest all his troops, Richard Han was waiting for the opportunity, waiting for this opportunity to defeat the Naiban cavalry, this short battle made the Anbei army under the command of Richard Han suffer huge losses, Richard Han realized that the opposite Naiban army was not as unbearable as he imagined, For the barbarian army, Richard had to start paying more attention to it.
