Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2501 Cut off the water source
At the end of the twelfth lunar month, Qin Tian brought soldiers and horses to the territory of Dihua City.

At this time, the weather in Dihua City was already extremely cold, and there was heavy snow everywhere, and these heavy snows covered the sky and the earth for a long time.

After Qin Tian came to Dihua City with his troops, he was not in a hurry to attack the city, but ordered people to set up camp ten miles away.

When Qin Huaiyu saw this, he was a little puzzled, and said, "Brother Qin, we are stationed so far away, don't we plan to attack the city in a while?"

Under normal circumstances, if they are stationed ten miles away, there is no meaning of attacking the city. If they are five miles away, there is. Now that they are stationed ten miles away, the possibility of attacking the city is very small.

Qin Tian nodded: "The weather here is too cold. We have to wait until spring at least before we can attack the city. Otherwise, the situation will be very unfavorable to us. We will have to wait at least a month. If there is an accident in the weather, it may take Wait for two months, and the soldiers from Yumen Pass have not yet arrived, so we might as well wait for them, and in the meantime, we can do one more thing."

Without full confidence, Qin Tian would not easily attack the city.

At this time, Qin Huaiyu quickly asked, "What are you doing?"

"Cut off the water source in Dihua City, so that the soldiers and people in the city will not be able to use water."

This method is not easy to use in some other cities. Many cities actually have their own wells. They don't need the water in the moat to survive.

But Dihua City is not good. There is no such well here. The water that the people here need is basically the water left from the snow-capped mountains. The water there is very clean, and there is no need to worry about eating and drinking.

But if this is the case, there is also a disadvantage. If someone blocks these rivers from entering the city, the water needed by so many people in the city will not be enough. If there is a shortage of water for them, the city will definitely be chaotic.

At that time, the enemies in the city had no choice but to go out of the city to fight.

Qin Tian seldom resorted to the method of cutting off the water source, but now, he had to try it.

After hearing this, Qin Huaiyu understood, he nodded quickly, and said: "Brother Qin's method is absolute, I will arrange for people to do it, and we must cut off their water source, so that they can't last long."

After Qin Huaiyu took the order, he went down to make arrangements, and it was not difficult for them to cut off the water source of Dihua City.

After Qin Huaiyu found a good place, he ordered people to cut off the water source. It took only one day for them to block the flow of the river.

After doing this, they did some protective work before going back to report.

In Dihua City, Song Zan Buge brought his soldiers and horses back from Cheshi King's City.

After he came back, he found that Tang Jun had no intention of attacking the city at all, which made him a little nervous.

He still has a little understanding of Qin Tian. He thinks that Qin Tian is a very treacherous person. If he doesn't come to attack the city, he must have a plan. If he doesn't realize it, then when Qin Tian attacks the city, Nothing happened to him.

Thinking of this, he quickly ordered: "Investigate, let me investigate the matter clearly, I need to know anything related to Qin Tian."
-
The spies who praise but don't sing are very fast, and it didn't take long for them to investigate the matter of the water source.

"Young master, Tang Jun has cut off our water source, that is to say, there will be no usable water in our city soon."

Tang Jun cut off the water source, but the remaining water can sustain them for a while, but there are too many soldiers and people in the city, and they need a lot of water every day. Once these people run out, they will have no water to use No, unless you go out of the city to fight for water.

The situation is better now. There is snow in many places. After melting the snow, they can still use it. It is a bit bad to eat, but there is no problem with washing your face or something.

But as long as the water source is cut off, they will always have a day of water shortage.

After the news came, everyone was a little worried and nervous.

"Young master, Tang people are really treacherous, they can even do this kind of thing, they are simply not human."

"Yeah, without water, this place will soon be messed up."

"Young master, in this situation, what should we do?"

Everyone asked, they were also a little scared, should they fight for the water source? Obviously it is impossible, as long as they go out of the city, they will be wiped out by the Tang army. Only when they hide in the city can they have the capital to spend with the Tang army.

Chan Zan Buge walked back and forth, he knew all these situations, and what he had to do now was how to solve the current predicament.

In his opinion, if there was water in the city, he would not have to worry about anything. However, apart from the water on the snow-capped mountains in Dihua City, there was no water in other places at all.

They are actually on a plateau, and indeed on the plateau, it is not easy to drill wells. If you can't drill wells, there will be no water.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zan Zan Buge suddenly stopped and said: "Everyone, in this situation, we can only go out of the city to fight the Tang army, otherwise we will definitely mess up here if we don't have water , the soldiers are going to mutiny, and if it takes too long, it will be more unfavorable to us, and by that time, the soldiers and horses of Yumen Pass will probably all come here."

Although Praise and Buge had wiped out other countries in the Western Regions and controlled these soldiers and horses, the loyalty of these soldiers and horses to him was not very high. Once they were short of water, they would definitely turn against him.

That being the case, it is necessary to fight the Tang army before they rebel, so that they can maintain the most favorable combat effectiveness, and the longer the delay, the worse it will be for them.

After Chan Zan Buge said this, all the soldiers suddenly felt a little scared.

Don't look at how brave they were when they attacked other small countries in the Western Regions, but they were frightened by the Great Tang. When they really wanted to make an enemy of the Great Tang, they felt a little timid in their hearts.

But at this moment, they have no choice.

Therefore, although some people were very scared, they still responded quickly.

"Fight with them, revenge and revenge."

"That's right, fight them hard and get revenge."

A crowd of people shouted, Chan Zan Buge nodded, and said: "Okay, let our soldiers prepare well. Three days later, we will go out of the city to fight the Tang army. In this battle, we must win. Only if we win, we will win." Only then can we enjoy everything here, if we lose, we will have nothing.”

When the praises and songs are finished, everyone agrees.
