The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 97 Cut off the water source, trapped in the desert

A few days later, just as the Yanmen Army was about to return to the grassland.

Suddenly, a piece of news like a turbulent wave spread like a wave of thousands of waters.

The water source in the army is cut off!

This news spread quickly to the Yanmen Army like a plague.

For a moment, people were panicked, and the morale of the army suddenly rose.

Water is the foundation of all things, without water, no living thing can survive.

Therefore, even if the elite soldiers are cut off from the water source, they will not fight.

Gao Qi soon found out about this news, and finally with the efforts of Gao Qi and his generals.

The fluctuating military spirit in the army has stabilized a little.

But it won't last long. If they don't walk out of the desert before the water source is completely cut off, mutiny may be inevitable!

…………

"Uncle Zhi, how much water is left in our army?"

During the march, Gao Qi turned his head and asked Chen Daowan, the captain of the personal guard.

"There are not many left!" Hearing this, Chen Dao clasped his hands and reported truthfully.

"Where is the guide, guide!"

It's just that Gao Qi was allowed to call for a long time, and there was no guide.

"Oops!" After a long time, Fazheng exclaimed and said.

"Kyoko, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Fa was losing his composure, Gao Qi also knew that something was wrong, so he couldn't help asking quickly.

"My lord, I'm afraid our army has fallen for it!"

"A trick? Why did Mr. Fa say that?" Hearing this, Chen Dao asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

"My lord, all generals, our army is in the middle of the desert and the water source is extremely scarce, but the guide suddenly disappeared. What is the problem?"

"That means this guide is a fake. From the very beginning, Temujin deliberately stayed behind to lead our army into the desert."

"Then Temujin can sit and wait for our army's water source to be cut off, and let us fend for ourselves!"

"In this way, Temujin can easily occupy the Hetao Plain without a single soldier."

After hearing Fazheng's analysis, all the generals came to their senses, and couldn't help scolding Temujin for being shameless.

Gao Qi did not agree with this.

The battle between the two armies is the end of your death and my death. On the battlefield, it is not too much to use any tricks.

Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Soldiers are deceitful.

That's what it means!
"Since the guide was arranged by Temujin, it seems that the news that he is about to leave the desert is also false."

After hearing Fazheng's words, Gao Qi was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice.

"Not necessarily. Wen thought that the exit was not too far from our army, and it could even be said to be very close. It's just that we haven't found it yet."

Gao Qi sighed, and before Fazheng could speak, Liu Bowen on the side spoke slowly.

There was an affirmative tone in his words and deeds.

"Why is Bowen so sure?" Hearing this, Gao Qi asked.

"Although the guide was arranged by Temujin, Wen guessed that the direction our army is moving in is generally correct for two reasons."

"One is that our army is not a fool. If the false guide wants to lead our army astray, we will definitely be able to see it."

"So, the guide led us in the right direction, but we may have deviated at a small intersection."

"Secondly, it is impossible for Temujin to lure our army into the desert and leave it alone. He will definitely gather a large army to build a defense line at the exit of the desert."

"Therefore, Wen thought that as long as our army saw the Turkic cavalry, it meant that our army had walked out of the desert."

Hearing Liu Bowen's words, it was as if a bright light suddenly lit up in the dark night to illuminate the road.

After thinking for a long time, Gao Qi finally arranged for the whole army to camp on the spot.

As for the desert, Gao Qi knew very well that if he lost his way in the desert, he should not walk blindly as soon as possible.

Because the direction in the desert is very unstable, you may go to the wrong place, and you may go around hundreds of thousands of miles away.

So, after getting lost in the desert, walking just keeps going farther and farther!

Although temporarily camping in place, it's not that Gao Qi is doing nothing.

It only said that Gao Qi used the method of emergency water fetching in the desert learned by later generations to explain it face-to-face to his generals and soldiers.

Gao Qi spoke and demonstrated. After a long time, the generals could barely understand.

Immediately, under Gao Qi's personal guidance, the [-] Yanmen Army under his command began to get busy in full swing.

The emergency water intake method adopted by Gao Qi is to dig a pit about 90 cm wide and 45 cm deep in relatively wet ground.

A water collector is placed in the center of the bottom of the pit, and an arc-shaped plastic film is hung on the pit surface.

The light energy raises the temperature of the moist soil and air in the pit, evaporates to produce water vapor, and when the water vapor contacts the plastic film, it condenses into water droplets and slides down into the container.

However, the entire army was busy all night, and in the end only a small amount of water was dug out.

In this regard, the entire army is almost desperate, and the mentality of collapse is already on the verge of heart.

It can be said that Gao Qi saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it.

The power of nature cannot be resisted by human beings. Even if future generations have so many high technologies, wouldn’t they be helpless against deserts?
What's more, what about today's ancient times with backward technology?

Di, the Summoning Stone detected that the host was in danger, so it issued a warning notification.

"Drip, drip!"

In an instant, two clear and clear voices rang in Gao Qi's mind, and the elf, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, also explained with his voice mixed in.

Tick, the summoning stone has a way to solve the current difficulties of the host, please invite the host to enter the body of the gem.

Suddenly, just as Gao Qi was thinking wildly for a while, a series of screams appeared in his mind.

When asked about the question, Gao Qi suddenly felt like weeping with joy, and walked quickly towards the tent alone, regardless of urging the soldiers.

Immediately, Gao Qi ordered Dian Wei to stay outside the tent, ordering that no one was allowed to enter without his own permission.

After entering the tent, Gao Qi took out the summoning stone and muttered a few spoken words silently.

In an instant, Gao Qi disappeared completely!

…………

In the gemstone body, it is only said that this time the gemstone body is not the first time Gao Qi entered the palace like a fairy tale world.

I saw that the picture shown this time is in the jungle, under the mountains, and beyond the ocean.

The most striking thing is that there are countless water sources distributed here.

Gao Qi watched this scene, his thirsty throat could no longer hold back.

Rolling up his sleeves, he took a sip of water and drank it.

After a long time, Gao Qi finished drinking the water, stood up and said, "What a good place!"

"There are so many water sources, if I can bring me back to reality, I won't have to worry about the lack of water anymore."

It's just that after Gao Qi's thirst problem was solved, he couldn't help but forget about the boundless water source, and sighed with regret.

"Hello host, I'm an elf! Let's meet again!"

"Welcome to the water park."
