The Annan Protectorate army’s water problem was now quite severe, with Dalun Ruozan’s surprise attack having proved highly effective On al’s arht now, even a high-ranking general like Luo Ji was finding his skin to be dry and his lips cracking Froine the severity of the ar fires lit by the Annan Protectorate army was not even one-tenth of what it used to be, and the drinking water for horses was under even stricter li to drop, and all the soldiers were concerned and fearful At this verywater to disturb the Annan Protectorate arh this a simple move, it’s rather effective We really don’t have any counterle worriedly said as he peered down the er any secret Even the lowest shield soldiers knew by now that the army didn’t have o up to the front every day and brashly use water to bathe and wash horses, provoking all the Tang soldiers
Already in dire need of water, every person only felt their lips getting drier, their thirst more intense
This was an instinctual reaction that was coh they all knew that this was a battlefield where life and death were at stake, they still could not control their reactions
Morale avering, and frole could sense the restlessness and unease
"Kill the horses!&8221; Wang Chong suddenly said
"What?&8221; Old Eagle asked in consternation, his brain still processing the order
"Kill a few of the warhorses and use their blood to temporarily relieve the thirst This is the only practical solution available to us right now,&8221; Wang Chong sternly said
"But if we don’t have warhorses, ill happen to Young Master’s plans? In addition, the Annan Protectorate army doesn’t have le was stunned He had never expected Wang Chong to propose this kind of plan
In the previous battles, the cavalry that Wang Chong had left in reserve on the summit had played an extre the course of the battle The on Son Corps led by Fengjiayi, had al ar’s sudden strike of cavalry that had seized upon their weakness and cut the Dragon Son Corps in two, robbing it of its sharpness A third of the Dragon Son Corps had died in battle, and even Fengjiayi hih the dedicated efforts and protection of his subordinates that he hadwould lose hter only a portion of the for one day is one extra day, and our coest Pass onfrom now, daily water consumption will be measured in drops Unless it is necessary, we can’t afford to waste a single drop of water,&8221; Wang Chong said
For an army of sixty thousand to measure daily water consuular ar else that could be done In the past, such an order would definitely have provoked a mass panic
But after all of Dalun Ruozan’s persistent efforts, the army was now fine with thisle nodded
"Besides, Dalun Ruozan’s situation won’t beunder the banner, Wang Chong looked at the opposing careat deal of effort, bringing pots, bags, and barrels of water to the base of the mountain In front of the Annan Protectorate army, he would have his soldiers pour the water away, or use it to take baths or wash horses
But Wang Chong didn’t need to do anything, as Dalun Ruozan’s own situation was already bad enough
When lacking water, one si every day was now five, six, seven, or eight drops of water distributed twice a day Though hard to endure, this was still bearable But ould one do if one didn’t have cow or sheep ricultural societies?
How could those people who used to eat cow and sheep every day eat rice? Eat vegetables? In their eyes, this was nothing but ‘grass’!
Other people h it, but the Tibetans were a fierce, courageous, and pugnacious people They weren’t the kind of people who could hold out
Fro could see that the front ranks of the ar in the rear of the Mengshe–Ü-Tsang ar could still hear the tur had personally seen seventeen or eighteen quarrels break out, all of the could guess that the Tibetans, lacking food, had ishe Zhao
After all, they were no out soldiers for the sake of Mengshe Zhao
Alas, the two sides spoke different languages, so this resulted in senseless quarrels, even evolving into brawls that served to only deepenwould only need to watch as Mengshe Zhao and Ü-Tsang tore at each other, injuring their own soldiers
Dalun Ruozan, even with your fiendish intelligence, you probably never thought that you would be attacked like this If you want to deal with the Great Tang, you have to pay the price! Nosilently thought as he looked into the distance
"I need a le, I’ll leave this place to you&8221;
With these words, Wang Chong turned around and left the summit
……
At the base of the mountain, in his tent, Dalun Ruozan’s situation was far worse than Wang Chong had i into Dalun Ruozan’s hands, all of them the countless reports sent back from the scouts he had dispatched to the border between the plateau and the Great Tang’s southwest The plateau was currently experiencing an unprecedented outbreak of plague
