The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 679 Repairing the Well

After entering the city, find the best house to live in.

Since there are no people left in the city, you can naturally live wherever you want.

Send some people around to investigate the situation and stand guard.

Lin Hai settled down first and was not in a hurry to attack.

Soon Wang Dayong found Lin Hai on horseback.

"Sir, we have found a well. There is a lot of water in this well and it is definitely not poisoned. It can be used by our army.

It's just that so many people rely on one well and have to keep fetching water. "

Lin Hai nodded slightly and said: "Actually, this is pretty good. It would be troublesome if the enemy destroyed the well while we were attacking the city.

At least now we don't have to transport water from so far away and can ensure basic supplies. "

"I have asked people to take turns to fetch water non-stop, and there will definitely be no problem with the water source."

“Send out scouts to check the situation according to our map, and then improve our map.

At the same time, check to see if the surrounding cities are the same as here, and whether they have all been evacuated. "

"Understood, I will make arrangements right away!"

"This place is really hot and dry. I really want to take a bath!" Princess Chenxi kept fanning herself with a fan.

But the air here is very hot.

The sweat that comes out will also evaporate immediately.

The whole person felt very uncomfortable.

I kept drinking water along the way and still felt very thirsty.

"We only have one well, and water is very precious. We must first ensure that the horses and soldiers have enough water to drink.

It's better to bear with it a little longer and don't waste it like this.

After the attack, seize a few more wells and take a bath as you wish. "

Lin Hai persuaded.

Lin Ruoxue took Princess Chenxi's hand and persuaded her: "We should be more patient when we follow the army.

When we arrived, Lin Hai told us that the conditions here were very difficult.

It would be unfair to the soldiers if we used up such precious water for bathing.

If the soldiers are made unhappy, their morale will be shaken. "

"Of course I know about such an important matter, and everything agreed will be obeyed.

Since you can't take a shower, just endure it for a few more days.

I believe that our soldiers will be able to capture a few more cities soon. By then, won’t we have as much water as we need? "Chenxi Lord is not an unreasonable person, and he happily agreed.

Shaoyao was still wearing a suit of leather armor, ready to fight at any time.

She is different from other women. She was already leading troops to fight at the age of 16.

This kind of environment is not intolerable to him.

"Why don't you also give me a team of soldiers and make sure that my troops are no worse than Dayong and the others."

Shaoyao couldn't help but eager to lead his troops to fight.

Lin Hai was startled and said quickly: "You should just stay with me and protect me. Leave the fighting to others."

Shaoyao looked a little lonely after hearing this.

“I just want to catch Mo Han with my own hands and avenge our Turkic people.

Seeing that he was close at hand, he could not lead his troops to fight.

I feel really uncomfortable. "

Lin Hai sighed helplessly, knowing that bringing these women here would definitely be troublesome.

I really don’t want Shaoyao to risk it.

But seeing Shaoyao's depressed look, if she was not allowed to take revenge with her own hands, she would definitely feel uncomfortable in the future.

"Let's do this, although Daxia's soldiers cannot be left to your command.

I can send someone to notify other Turkic cavalry to come over. These people are all your old subordinates.

I'll send you 4000 people and let you command them. That's it. "Shaoyao was so surprised that she immediately became energetic.

Her beautiful eyes looked at Lin Hai closely: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you? Let the scouts take the news back and send you two armies.

But we have to agree on the rules in advance. Even if you lead the troops, you have to obey orders.

You cannot attack at will. "

Shaoyao happily hugged Lin Hai's neck: "I will definitely obey your orders and will never use troops indiscriminately!"

"Okay, okay, don't let others see it! You should pay more attention to the impact in the military camp.

If a soldier saw me, they would think I had some special hobby!

Then my reputation will be completely ruined! "

Lin Hai said quickly
Only then did Shaoyao notice that he was wearing the clothes of a male soldier, which could easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

He quickly took a step back and stood aside.

"I got it!"

Daxia's scouts were very efficient, and soon they had clearly investigated a two hundred-mile radius.

This kind of place is vast and sparsely populated, and there is only one city two hundred miles away.

And it is also a road to the Turks.

If they didn't want to do business with the Turks, this kind of city might not be built.

The main thing is to buy some sheepskins from the Turks every year and make fur coats. After all, the winter in the Western Regions is very cold.

And they are not suitable for grazing here, so the number of cattle and sheep they raise is naturally much smaller.

This can be regarded as a specially built trade route.

It was only used for supplies and did not take much effort to build.

"Some wells have been destroyed! These people from the Western Regions have very sinister intentions and don't want us to get enough drinking water." The scout's face was full of murderous intent.

I really want to find all these Western Region soldiers and kill them all.

Lin Hai was not angry after hearing the news reported by his subordinates.

He said: "Take a team of soldiers and dig the well again.

We brought special digging tools, and it is not difficult to dig a well.

In fact, destroying the well is much better than poisoning it.

If poison is really thrown into the well, the entire well will be destroyed.

Now in this case, we can dig it out and continue to use it! "

After listening to Lin Hai's analysis, the scout felt that it made sense.

"Your subordinate will make arrangements now!"

Suddenly my mood became much better.

The more people in the Western Regions don't want Xia Jun to get the wells, the more they want to dig these wells again and make those people angry to death.

In fact, the Western Regions also attach great importance to the water sources within the territory. After all, they still have to think about how people will still live in these places after defeating Daxia.

Without water, it becomes a dead end, and even caravans cannot pass.

If it really comes to that point, it is purely self-destruction.

People from the Western Regions are not willing to poison wells.

But they didn't expect that all Daxia's tools were made of fine iron.

Even if they fill up all the wells, they can easily dig them out with just a little effort.

As long as there is enough water, the Xia army can be stationed here for a long time and continue to advance step by step.

Lin Hai also has a big killer weapon, which is the Turkic cavalry still remaining on the grassland.

As long as this side stabilizes, these Turkic cavalry can also come to fight together.

These Turks were holding their breath in their hearts and wanted to defeat the rebels with their own hands.

There is no need to worry about whether they will serve wholeheartedly.
