Volume 1 Chapter 33 Playing with the Xiongnu Khan
"There's water, there's water!"
"Bai Qi can really draw water out of thin air!"
"Miracle, this is a miracle!"
The soldiers cheered wildly. Even though the water in their helmets was only enough for them to drink, the shock it brought was unparalleled.
This has completely overturned the soldiers' cognition.
Now they believe whatever Bai Qi says.
Yang Paifeng's eyes were full of excitement. She looked at Bai Qi excitedly, then suddenly knelt on one knee and said to Bai Qi:
"On behalf of 10,000 soldiers, I thank you for saving my life!"
"Thank you, Lord Baiqi, for saving my life!"
In an instant, all the thousand generals and centurions knelt down and saluted.
"Thank you, Lord Baiqi, for saving my life!"
Ten thousand soldiers knelt down in unison. This scene deeply shocked Erniu, Dazhong and others.
They seemed to see Bai Qi's god-like figure in the recruit training camp.
The movement in the Great Zhou military camp immediately attracted the attention of the Huns.
"Report——"
The Hun spies immediately reported back to the First Khan.
"What happened? Why are you so flustered?"
The eyes of the First Khan of the Xiongnu were full of displeasure. At this time, he had already secured victory and was just waiting for the soldiers of the Great Zhou to die of thirst.
But the spy's next words stunned all the Hun leaders.
"Report to my king, there is water over at the Great Zhou military camp!"
"And it's water taken out of thin air."
What! ?
When the Hun general and the first Khan heard this information, they immediately wanted to draw their scimitars and kill the spy who spread the rumors.
"Drawing water out of thin air? Are you kidding me like a three-year-old?"
The Hun general kicked the spy down with one kick.
"Really, it's true!"
"If my king doesn't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. The Great Zhou military camp has already started celebrating."
"I didn't believe it at first, but this kind of thing can't be faked!"
"And I'm not the only one who saw it."
The spy quickly reported to the Xiongnu classroom and called out a few of his men, and everyone said the same thing.
They basically all understood Chinese, and the noise from the Great Zhou military camp could not be hidden from their ears at all, and no one tried to hide it from them.
The Xiongnu Khan ran out of the tent without even putting on his shoes. When he saw the soldiers of Dazou walking over there happily, he felt sick.
"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
"They must be lying!"
"This is a tactic from Sun Tzu's Art of War. They deliberately pretended that there was water so that we would give up controlling the water source."
A gleam of wisdom flashed in the First Khan's eyes, and he ruthlessly exposed the conspiracy of the Dazhong military camp.
"I am Wang Yingming!"
"I see."
"These continental people are really cunning and treacherous."
"We almost got fooled."
The surrounding Hun high-ranking officials all began to flatter him. Of course, they also thought so in their hearts. The idea of taking water out of thin air was completely nonsense!
If water can be obtained out of thin air, why do we need to control the water source?
This is not the means that a human should possess, that is what a god should have!
Xiongnu said with certainty:
"Just wait and see. In less than three days, they will all die of thirst!"
"I just don't believe they can keep pretending."
As he spoke, he also ordered the army to strictly control the water source and never let a drop of water flow from upstream to downstream so that the soldiers of the Great Zhou could drink water.
At the Dazhong military camp, Yang Paifeng watched the soldiers cheering and celebrating as if it were New Year's Day, but she felt a sense of worry in her heart.
-He pulled Bai Qi and several relatives aside, frowned and asked:
"Bai Qi, your method of drawing water out of thin air is effective, but it is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure."
"We can only drink a small sip of water a day. In 10 days or so, we will still die of thirst!"
The other generals also looked unhappy.
The truth is, the soldiers are now shocked by this incredible miracle.
So I haven’t come to terms with it yet.
But when they realize after a few days that the problem of hunger and thirst has not been solved, their mentality will explode again.
Bai Qi smiled and said calmly: "Don't worry, after five or six days, I will put on a big show for everyone, which will definitely make Xiongnu Ke Han's mentality explode."
"Then he won't be guarding the water source anymore."
Yang Pai Feng Dong Ren was very curious and asked, "What drama?"
Bai Qi uttered three words calmly: "Water Splashing Festival!"
What?
Yang Paifeng and others’ eyes widened. They now even had trouble getting drinking water, so why were they still holding the Water-Splashing Festival?
What the hell is this?
Bai Qi smiled without saying anything. He had 5 cubic meters of water stored in his personal space, which was equivalent to 5,000 liters.
How much water should a person drink in a day?
1000 ml is enough for one person to drink a full cup.
Many people drink less than 800 ml of water a day.
5 tons of water, if used sparingly, is enough for the army to drink for three days.
But Bai Qi didn't intend to use it this way. He wanted to provoke the first Khan of the Huns.
The first Khan of the Xiongnu had been extremely anxious these days. Every morning when he woke up, he wanted to listen to the spies' reports on military intelligence, hoping to hear the news of the Zhou's bombing of the camp.
But the military reports he received every morning were that the soldiers in the Great Zhou army camp were cheering because they had gotten water from the air again.
Even when these soldiers were drinking water, they would show off to the Huns.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
"They must be faking it."
The first Khan of the Xiongnu was very confident in his judgment. He believed that this must have been anticipated by Yang Paifeng and others. He wanted to cut off the water supply, so he asked the soldiers to live frugally.
That's why only a little water is accumulated.
"But if you use it sparingly, I'll wait for you for five or six days, and you'll definitely drink up all the water!"
"Let's see how you pretend then."
Amidst this anxiety and expectation, Xiongnu Kehan's confidence was gradually eroded, and every morning he received bad news.
Finally, on the sixth day, the first Hun Khan could wait no longer and wanted to go and see for himself to see what else these people could pretend to be.
Bai Qi also saw the Xiongnu Khan driving his troops forward but not making any attacking gesture, so he laughed.
Then Bai Qi ordered everyone to take out their water bottles, and he distributed all the water stored in his portable space to all the soldiers.
"Everyone, feel free to drink. We have plenty of water!"
"Let the enemy see that our water is inexhaustible."
Bai Qi waved the kettle towards everyone, then took a big gulp, and finally poured the remaining half of the kettle of water directly into the sky.
Damn it!
When the Xiongnu Khan saw Bai Qi's actions, he almost fell off his horse.
The surrounding Xiongnu high-ranking officials were also discussing:
“Don’t they really lack water?”
“Is it still possible to waste water like this?”
"Did our plan fail?"
In an instant, this emotion of doubt and pessimism spread to the hearts of every Hun. They had originally vowed to defeat the enemy without fighting.
I want to watch the soldiers from Dazhou die of thirst.
But now, everyone felt extremely disappointed with the First Khan's strategy.
"Impossible, this is definitely a scam on us."
"Even if they have water, they can't waste it like this. Besides, it's just one centurion sprinkling water in there. How much water can it consume?"
Although the First Khan had a bad feeling in his heart, he still needed to maintain his face at this moment.
When the Huns around heard their Khan's analysis, they immediately thought it was possible.
So everyone's self-confidence returned.
But the next moment, the Huns couldn't close their mouths.
After Bai Qi distributed the water to all the soldiers, these soldiers didn't know that Bai Qi only had so little water. They saw Bai Qi pouring the water directly into the sky, so arrogant.
In an instant, the soldiers no longer worried about the problem of water shortage.
Because they had previously established that Bai Qi could draw water out of thin air, it was no longer a problem for them to think that Bai Qi could just make water appear out of thin air, so they could easily accept it.
The soldiers were all immersed in the excitement of having water to drink, and when they saw Bai Qi sprinkle water into the sky, they followed suit.
After taking a big gulp, it also sprinkled the remaining water into the sky, squandering water resources to its heart's content.
Ten thousand soldiers collectively sprinkled water into the sky. How magnificent it was. Under the sun's rays, a gorgeous rainbow appeared above the heads of the ten thousand soldiers.
What! ?
When the First Khan of the Xiongnu saw that more than 10,000 soldiers dared to waste water resources like this, the last bit of his persistence was instantly destroyed.
“Impossible, impossible!”
Xiongnu Ke Han's body swayed and he fell off his horse again. People around him hurried to help him.
The other Hun high-ranking officials looked at each other, their eyes filled with disappointment.
It seems that wanting to kill the enemy with thirst is a joke.
The soldiers on the border of the Xiongnu territory were talking about this plan, and they despised their king's strategy to the core.
"You also said that we can kill the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty with thirst without fighting. Isn't this nonsense?"
"Look, now people can not only drink the water, but they can even take a bath with it."
"We Huns should use knives, but Ke Ke insists on using our brains. Do you think our knives are not sharp enough, or do you think your brains are enough?"
"I've told you before, don't play tricks on the people from the Great Zhou. We all learned our military tactics from them. How can we possibly outwit them?"
"I've been slapped in the face this time!"
"How much distance have the enemies traveled in the past ten days? They only held out for a few more days before retreating directly back to Honghua City."
From the beginning of the war, the Huns were led by Bai Qi. The huge casualties made them have great doubts about the command ability of the Huns' first Khan.
As a result, the First Khan had made another big mistake, and his prestige in the hearts of the Huns plummeted.
In the Xiongnu tent, someone quietly asked, "My king, should we continue to send troops to cut off the water supply?"
As soon as he asked this question, the First Khan picked up the kettle in his hand and smashed it on his face.
Aren't you rubbing salt into my wounds?
Haven't I embarrassed myself enough?
"Get out. Get out!"
"If anyone asks me to fetch water in the future, I will chop him up!"
The First Khan always thought that he was the smartest man on the grassland, no doubt about it.
Even his IQ can crush the Emperor of the Great Zhou. In the past, it was he who played the emperors and empress dowagers of Dazhong around.
But today, he was fooled by a small centurion.
For a moment, the First Khan found it hard to accept.
The most important thing is that Bai Qi's move has broken his psychological bottom line. Wouldn't it be a futile effort to divide the troops and cut off the tax source now?
The cavalrymen who were sent to cut off the water supply were simply recalled.
Without these people to cut off the water source, the stream on the grassland quickly broke through the simple dam built by these people, and the stream water flowed through the dry riverbed again and flowed to the feet of the soldiers of the Great Zhou.
The water crisis was directly resolved by Bai Qi!
When Yang Paifeng saw the clear river water flowing under her feet, she could no longer bear the excitement in her heart and gave Bai Qi another warm hug.
The shy young player was envious.
Yang Paifeng used to think that she didn't have even a 10% chance of bringing this army of 10,000 men back to Honghua City safely from the encirclement of 200,000 main cavalry of the Huns.
But now, she is 100% sure.
This is all because of Bai Qi's existence, who helped her solve the most difficult problems.
Yang Paifeng had already made up her mind at this moment. After returning to Honghua City, she would report the achievements to her superiors and would definitely give all the credit to Bai Qi.
She hopes that Bai Qi can be promoted to general in one battle!
At the same time, the murderous intent in the heart of the First Khan of the Xiongnu had reached its peak.
The more outstanding Bai Qi is, the greater the shock the Great Zhou army brings to him, and the more he wants to kill them at all costs.
The existence of these people posed a huge threat to the Xiongnu royal court.
The First Khan clenched his golden scimitar and roared:
"Pass on my order. Starting tomorrow, the 200,000-man army will be divided into 10 square formations. Except for eating and sleeping, attack madly!"
"I will exhaust them to death on the grassland, no matter how many warriors I lose!"
The Huns knelt down and saluted one by one.
"promise!"
