Fortunately, Gu Nanji and others issued a series of orders, which stabilized the morale of the army.
Fortunately, several wealthy families in the city had their own private wells, and some were willing to tell others that their wells were not poisoned, so if you really had no water to drink, you could go to their house to draw water. However, there were also wells that were hidden and kept tightly closed, and no one would open them no matter how hard you tried.
On one hand, there was the crisis of lack of water, and on the other hand, Murong Tianqi launched an siege.
While Gu Nanji was organizing people to resist the attack, he also had to organize people to maintain the water-drawing order and defense of the few wells that were not poisoned to prevent more Sals people from poisoning them.
After three days of siege, the soldiers inside the city could occasionally get a drink of water, but since the groundwater in those wells was interconnected, drinking from them would cause varying degrees of damage. Therefore, they tried to avoid drinking water whenever possible.
The soldiers' eyes were dry, the corners of their mouths were cracked, and some of the blood had solidified into scabs.
Gu Nanji hadn't had a sip of water for a long time, and his throat was so hoarse that he could hardly speak.
"Report!" The soldier who came to report was not as loud as before.
"What's wrong?" Gu Nanji asked.
"The cavalry led by Lieutenant General Tianqing has returned with some water, and discovered that the Sals people have set up ambushes at the water sources." The soldier who came to report mentioned the water and swallowed.
When Gu Beijian learned that the well had been poisoned, he immediately sent Tianqing with a group of cavalry to the Salsi water source outside the city to fetch water. They also had someone sneak into the Salsi camp and burn their food supplies. If the Salsi hadn't discovered it quickly, they would probably have been out of food by now. However, this also relieved the anger of Yin Weiguo's army.
"Well done!" Gu Nanji showed a long-lost smile.
"Report!" A young soldier rushed in to report the news.
"Speak!" Gu Nanji put away his smile.
"King Xiaoyao is here!" The soldier who came to report could not hide his excitement.
The next second, a deep and powerful male voice rang out, "Son! Your father is here!"
After hearing this, Gu Nanji was about to leave the tent when he was hugged by an equally tall man. "Oh, my dear son! Long time no see!"
Gu Nanji blushed a little and pushed him away, but he couldn't. He accepted his fate and let King Xiaoyao hold him. "Dad, can you let me go? This is a military camp, I still have to save some face..."
"Hahahahahahahaha, it's been a while since we last met, you should be happy. Why do you need face? You've almost lost all your substance!" King Xiaoyao rolled his eyes at him.
King Xiaoyao let him go, regained his composure, and said, "Come on, come up, Xiaoyu." King Xiaoyao waved his hand, and Yu Xiaofu hurried forward from behind.
"General Gu, this is a letter from my sister Xiaomi. We also brought 60 jars of special juice. She said that after reading this letter, you will understand." Yu Xiaofu handed the letter to Gu Nanji tremblingly.
Gu Nanji looked confused, but still took the letter.
