we can finally grow crops

Bian Ziping, who was installing faucets at the foot of the mountain, seemed to hear cheers from the mountain.

He turned on the faucet.

A sweet and refreshing spring water gushed out.

The water really came. He scooped up the water with both hands and couldn't wait to drink a sip. It was moist and sweet, with an endless aftertaste.

It was better than the water in the manhole!

The people and soldiers who helped dig the ground saw this scene. They were all stunned.

They were stunned for a few breaths, put down the tools in their hands, and rushed towards the faucet. They rushed to taste the sweet spring water.

Is it water?

Drinkable cool spring water!

Great, in the future, as long as we turn on the faucet, there will be a constant flow of water.

The people cried with joy.

Even the soldiers were moved by this scene.

After tasting the water, the people all knelt down and kowtowed to the water.

"God, you finally saw the cries of the people of Zhenguan and brought water down from heaven so that everyone can drink water."

"Mom, it's water, it's sweet and delicious! Will we all have water to drink in the future? Will my brothers and sisters never die of thirst again?"

"Grandpa,there is water, drinkable water. We don't have to walk several miles under the scorching sun to get water from the Zhenguan military camp."

"God, thank you for giving us the holy water!"

All the people knelt down and kowtowed to thank God.

The soldiers wanted to kneel down to thank him, but Bian Ziping stopped them.

"Hurry up and dig a hole to bury the water pipe so that the military camp and the people can get water!"

The soldiers heard this and happily picked up their hoes and continued to bury the pipes extending into the military camp.

The people also stood up quickly, waving their hoes and continued to dig the ground.

It was dark, and four pipes were buried.

Two for the military camp, one connected to the cook's kitchen.

One connected to the tent area where the soldiers lived.

The tents were all set up. Fortunately, there were enough oilcloth and canvas to accommodate 40,000 people.

There were many soldiers, so Bian Ziping used a night lamp to divide ten pipes in different directions from the military camp water pipe, and installed faucets in the southeast, northwest and northeast corners .

Ten large vats were placed under each faucet.

Soldiers needed water and could just scoop water to wash.

It was enough for 40,000 people to wash at different times, and it wouldn't be crowded!

Tonight, everything went as expected.

Chen Kui and Chen Wu led a team of dozens of people and pulled out 20 horses carrying fodder and buckets.

They came to the outside of the Chu army tent in black night clothes.

Chen Wu brought a few skilled grooms and directed the horses to the Chu camp.

After the horses entered the camp with ease, the sleeping Chu horses lying on the ground stood up immediately when they smelled the fragrance of fodder.

They ran towards the horses of the Zhan family army!

A large group of them came at once, and a few of them were bold enough to put their mouths into the bucket and drink water.

Chen Wu saw that there were more horses running, and he was afraid of alerting the enemy.

He blew a whistle.

Ten strong horses turned around and ran, faster and faster.

The Chu army's war horses had not eaten a few mouthfuls and had no time to drink the water.

They ran out.

The ten horses lured out hundreds of horses.

It also alarmed other horses, and all followed suit and ran away.

At first, the Chu army's horses were just following the trend, but they ran even more happily when they smelled the grass and water in the air.

The Chu soldiers found that the horses ran away by themselves, and they wanted to stop them in a rage.

Unfortunately, there were too many horses running away, and they were too late to stop them.

Chen Wu took a dozen people, jumped on the horse's back, and hurried back to the city.

Zhan Chengyin had been observing with a drone.

Seeing that they succeeded, he ordered: "Open the city gate and prepare for support!"

There were too many horses following, and there were thousands of them.

When Chen Wu and Chen Kui led the horses into the city, there were tens of thousands of horses in total.

These horses were very thin and hungry, even thinner than the horses of the Barbarian Army.

They entered the city, found a river by themselves, and went down to the river to drink water.

The prepared hay had already been laid out, and after the horses drank enough water, they all ate the hay.

They ate quickly and anxiously, as if they had not eaten hay for a long time.

The hungry horses ate while crying.

They probably knew that if they could not drink water and eat grass, they would starve to death.

After starving to death, their bodies would become the food for the Chu army.

Now they have enough water and good grass, this kind of life is too good.

The stables surrounded by steel pipes have added tens of thousands of horses.

Chen Wu found people with barbarian blood among the people, who are good at raising horses and take care of the war horses full-time. Now , Zhenguan has 25,000 war horses!

They will not lose to the most brutal cavalry of the barbarians.

Li Yuanzhong, Lin Dajun, and He Hong went to burn the barbarian army's west gate garrison.

They lit the kerosene and pulled the Qin crossbow to shoot arrows.

Countless arrows came through the air with sparks.

The tents of 30,000 people caught fire quickly, and countless barbarians were shot and killed.

There were also soldiers who wanted to resist, but they were shot and killed before they could escape from the tents.

The five siege vehicles were burned to ashes, and the Zhan family army retreated.

Three thousand people were dispatched, and more than half of the hundreds of thousands of arrows were shot.

Now, the Zhan family army has few arrows left.

This time, Mo Fan also participated in the operation.

He flew a drone to look down at the ground, check the camps of the Chu and Qi armies, and monitor whether there is support for the barbarians at any time.

Fortunately, Chu and Qi did not go out.

The main force of the barbarian army did not come to support.

The Zhan family army shot arrows to burn the tents and siege vehicles, and immediately retreated back to the city.

Arriving at Zhenguan City, it was almost midnight.

Everyone was excited about today's gains.

The Zhan family army had 25,000 horses, and at least 5,000 of the 30,000 barbarians were wiped out.

All the siege vehicles were burned.

According to Zhan Chengyin's prediction, the barbarians would retreat from the west gate.

Sure enough, someone came to report in the second half of the night that Ximen had directly abandoned the garrison, and all the barbarian troops were incorporated into the main force.

Many wounded soldiers shot by arrows were directly abandoned and left to fend for themselves.

This group of people will most likely die.

Given the brutality of the barbarians, the next step will be to become the rations of the barbarian army.

Perhaps this is cruel. There is a severe drought in the world, and cannibalism is not uncommon.

Even if the deserters know that after escaping, the dryness everywhere and no water and grass are a dead end.

The town has been attacked for a long time, and the explosives of the Zhan family army broke their last fantasy.

If you are lucky enough to escape, find a river that has not dried up, hunt wild wolves, rabbits and mice... maybe there is a chance to survive.

Zhan Chengyin divided the wounded into the number of deaths.

In this battle tonight, at least 8,000 barbarian soldiers were shot and killed.

Since knowing Ye Mumu, even luck is on their side, and the Zhan family army has won battle after battle.

Not only are there a large amount of food and grass, drinking water, weapons, war horses...

even the soldiers have clothes and shoes.

Everything went incredibly smoothly!

Since there was water, the soldiers and civilians in the city have been more active in their work.

There are still four pipes that have not been buried.

The next day, the people of the city went out to help dig the ground.

Bian Ziping connected forty taps in different directions to the four pipes in the residential area.

Residents do not have to crowd in one place to get water.

The ten generals' mansions were perfectly designed by him, with one tap installed in each mansion.

The general's mansion has two taps, and the porridge shed is installed with one.

Two pipes were buried in the military camp.

One was buried at the city wall to facilitate the construction of the city wall and cement.

Another one was arranged in the training ground, with ten taps installed, so that the soldiers could drink water at any time.

Ye Mumu sent water again from the stream reservoir at the foot of the mountain that night.

The water level in the Zhenguan River was raised again.

Now, Zhenguan has sufficient water.

There is so much water that it has overflowed and flowed to the dry fields.

When the people saw the river water flowing to the cracks in the ground, they all knelt at the head of the field.

There is water!

Oh, God, the water is finally here.

People can finally grow crops.
