Dalong Li, early July of the first year of Taichu

The war outside Nanchong City has been stopped for a month. The deafening shouts of killing disappeared, and replaced by a dead spirit.

It’s not that Liang Jun doesn’t want to fight, it’s because the weather is too hot.

The sun in the sky was so hot that the defenders couldn't raise their heads at all, without any wind, and they would sweat profusely even if they stood still.

In this weather, the Liang army would not only attack the city, but it would be difficult for them to raise their heads to look at the city.

The Liang army could only adopt the strategy of siege but not attacking, and they would also trap the Long army on the city.

Also, the veterans who would occasionally turn a few dirty jokes shut all their mouths.

Now they can say one word but never say two words. Why waste those spitting stars?

Xun An, wearing a cloth clothes and lifting his sleeves, patrolling the city, his eyes constantly sweeping around.

There were many weak civilians and soldiers leaning against the corner of the wall. In the past, they would say hello with great energy when they saw Xun An, but now they can only work hard to move their eyelids.

The soldiers in the Arrow Tower were a little better, at least there was a sunshade on the top of the dock, but they were also facing the dilemma of water shortage.

Xun An's lips were chapped and there was a feeling of powerlessness in his eyes.

It didn't rain that day, and he really had no choice.

Qiu Jin, who was following Xun An, was also weak all over. He even took off his armor and only wore a single piece of clothing. He walked every step very hard.

Qiu Jin frowned, and was extremely anxious in her heart, and said carefully:

"Sir, look, this won't work~"

As the defenders nowadays, they can't fight bad battles, and at most they can hold on for a while.

"Oh~" Xun An sighed deeply: "A good lady cannot cook without rice. I just hope that now there will be a bolt from the blue and then a heavy rain will kill me."

Faced with the siege of 100,000 Liang troops, Xun An never said a word from beginning to end, but now he was worried that he could not sleep all day and night because of the lack of water.

Qiu Jin lowered his head silently, he knew that Xun An had done his best.

Before the Liang army had siege, Xun An prepared for the future and asked the soldiers to dig more deep wells and store water as much as possible.

Because Xun An knew that once the Liang army besieged the city, all the water sources flowing in from outside the city would be cut off and he could only rely on his own supplies in the city.

As expected, the Liang army really cut off all the small rivers entering the city, and even some ditches were spared.

The well became the only source for the people and soldiers in the city, barely enough.

But after all the calculations, Xun An did not expect that it had not rained for so long, some wells had begun to dry up, and the water supply in the city became increasingly tense.

"There is water! The water is water!"

A loud shout sounded, and several soldiers carried the bucket to the top of the city, shouting loudly.

There is not much water source in the city, so Xun An can only give priority to ensuring the needs of the soldiers guarding the city, supplying drinking water regularly and at a certain time every day, and distributing it in a unified manner, which can barely ensure that the soldiers will not die of thirst.

When all the soldiers saw the bucket, they were lit up and immediately became energetic. They hurriedly surrounded the bucket, fearing that they would fall behind others.

"rub!"

The soldier guarding the bucket pulled out his knife at once and shouted angrily:

"Don't squeeze me! Line up! Come one by one, each person has half a bowl, no one can escape it!

If anyone squeezes it again, I guarantee that you will never drink a drop of water in your life!”

This roar was indeed useful. The soldiers who were still in a mess just now lined up honestly, waiting for the half bowl of well water anxiously and expectantly.

There is no way. If you don’t use a knife to scare these thirsty soldiers, you won’t know how much water you will waste when you push each other.

I saw the big-headed soldiers looking at the half bowl of water in the bowl, and they were cautious and tasted it bit by bit.

As the well water entered the abdomen, a cool feeling rushed straight from the chest to the sky spirit cover.

Cool!

So cool!

This half bowl of water is now more precious than gold in their eyes, for fear of sprinkling a drop.

The scene makes people look funny, but sad.

"Sir, you can drink some too~" Qiu Jin also brought Xun An a bowl of water.

It's also half a bowl, without any preferential treatment.

When drinking water ration was first implemented, Qiu Jin put a whole bowl of water for Xun An, thinking that Xun An would have to treat it better, but Xun An was scolded for half an hour.

As a result, all the soldiers knew that Lord Xun drank as much water as they did, so there was nothing to say.

Xun An smacked his lips and picked up the water bowl. Before he could drink it, he could feel a chill pouring into his nose.

"Plop!"

Before the water entrance, a soldier standing not far from Xun'an fell to the ground without warning.

Xun An was stunned and immediately walked over and helped him up, touched his forehead and then snoring before breathing a sigh of relief:

"I'm not dead, I'm still angry."

Qiu Jin looked at it twice and muttered, "It should be because of lack of water and dizziness."

There are too many people who have this situation. Few people can afford such a little drinking water every day.

After resting for a while, the soldier tried hard to open his eyes and called out weakly.

"Come on, don't move first, drink some water~" Xun An put his water bowl to his mouth. Qiu Jin next to him blinked his mouth when he saw this scene, and swallowed the words he vomited to his mouth.

The soldier looked at Xun An with some gratitude, took a big mouthful without much refusal, and went halfway, saying thank you sir.

The reason why the defenders in the whole city listened to Xun An was because he could inadvertently make the soldiers feel warm.

Seeing that there was only half of the drinking water left, Xun An was not feeling any distressed. He looked up and poured the remaining water into his throat.

Comfortable ~

After the whole inspection, Qiu Jin looked out of the city with a wry smile:

"Sir, if this continues, we will die of thirst if the Liang army does not attack the city~"

Xun An said coldly:

"At this time, we will lose if we give up, and the efforts we have to stick to for several months will be wasted.

Send people to continue digging more wells! We have a chance to survive the summer.”

"Yeah~" Qiu Jin nodded and responded.

Xun An murmured:
