Chapter 128 Preparing to Capture a City (1/2)

"My Lord!"

The group of soldiers came on horseback, then jumped off their horses one by one, rolled and crawled to the front of Lord Fu and Fu Yanting and knelt down together.

Although they were all wearing armor, their faces were pale, their lips were cracked, their hair was messy, and they looked extremely ferocious: "My Lord! General! You are finally back!"

Lord Fu immediately stepped forward and helped the leading soldier up, "What's going on? Where are our soldiers?"

The man's surname was Cao, and he was his former deputy general. "My Lord, there are disasters everywhere in Dayong State. The soldiers are worried about their families at home, so they have stolen food and left the barracks! Now, except for me, there are only these fatherless and motherless children left."

Having said that, he pointed to the soldiers behind him.

Chu Chenyin looked up and saw that there were only about twenty people in total.

They were all young men in their teens and twenties, with only Lieutenant General Cao being older.

I only heard Deputy General Cao continue to say: "My Lord, fire has fallen from the sky in the capital, and the soldiers all thought that you and the generals had died in the fire. The soldiers' morale is unstable, and we can't persuade them to stop even if we want to."

As he spoke, he picked up a pile of sand from the ground and said with a slightly trembling tone, "The sand in Mobei is getting more and more every day. In the past, there was an oasis every ten miles, but now we have walked for two days and two nights and haven't found a drop of water."

Lord Fu then asked, "Where are the barbarians?! They are all gone, what should we do with them?!"

Deputy General Cao looked into the distance and said, "My Lord, the barbarians are also busy now. The yellow earth rain there is more serious than ours."

Lord Fu sighed deeply.

Fu Yanting took out two water bags from the carriage and handed them to them, "Drink some water first."

When Lieutenant General Cao saw the water bag in his hand was excited, his eyes sparkled with stars, but he hesitated to take action.

Fu Yanting shook the water bag and continued, "Drink it."

Lieutenant General Cao quickly took the water bag and excitedly passed it to the other soldiers behind him.

"Water! Finally, there is water!"

“Water!”

They were all ecstatic. They caught the water in the water bags with their hands and drank it carefully.

If these people were thirsty for another two or three days, they would probably die.

Chu Chenyin was glad that they arrived in time.

She looked towards the tent in front of her that was corroded by sand, raised her head slightly and looked into the distance. Now she had to find a place to settle down.

At this time, Fu Yanting suddenly asked Deputy General Cao: "Where is Deputy General He?"
