"How far did the team go today?" Shen Changwen asked Xu Yan.

"35 kilometers," Xu Yan looked at the map in his hand, "mainly because the elderly and children walked too slowly, the weather was hot, and there were many sick people." He pointed to the camp marked by the red cross in the distance: "Those were hot, there was so little water on the road...we thought of everything, but forgot to bring more plastic bottles of water."

There is no shortage of rivers on the marching route, but because of the limitation of water containers in this era, the marching team still inevitably encountered the challenge of water shortage.

Now Shen Changwen had to send a special team to find water around, which even affected the support to Wu Xiaoqing on the front line.

In fact, strictly speaking, it is not a lack of water, but a lack of clean enough water.

By the standards of the era itself, water is available to all.

water?Isn't it simple?

Just find a shady place in the forest on the side of the road, there are small puddles full of water everywhere, and you can drink as much as you want if you squat down.

Even if you pay attention to it, there are still many villages along the way, almost every household has large clay pots for water storage, and many wells can be found in the villages.

However, for a large-scale team, there are undoubtedly too many hidden dangers in the quality of the water. Shen Changwen had to ask all the soldiers looking for water to gather and disinfect the water before it can be used by people. greatly reduced.

The lack of water will naturally bring about diseases. It is impossible for so many people to manage them. When they are thirsty, they will drink raw water to save trouble. In addition, it is hot and they drink a lot. Water, will soon become a pile of sick people.

"Wang Youquan," Shen Changwen yelled through the radio, "From today onwards, you will be responsible for managing the water. Bring plenty of bleach, so I don't need to teach you the disinfection procedures... If you don't have enough bleach, boil the water... and tell everyone below. Say, let’s say that the enemy has poisoned the water, and drinking the water will poison you... What kind of poison? Any poison is fine! The water is already poisonous!”

The other end of the radio equipment responded.

"Xu Yan," Shen Changwen said again, "you can put aside the matter here for now. Wu Xiaoqing has a situation and needs a group of reinforcements. You lead the team. There is no danger along the way, but you still have to be careful. By the way, You remember, when you see someone, you run into the team, don’t run around alone... Learn to ride a horse along the way, it’s really useful for your life.”

Xu Yan didn't think that the current battle situation was as bad as Shen Changwen said: "Didn't Angkor already beat them up? This way, we didn't even see a single person harassing us on the way."

After Wu Xiaoqing left, the command of the entire army was actually carried out by King Elis himself.

According to King Elis' initial estimation, they will definitely encounter harassment from enemies from all sides along the way.

According to King Elis' understanding of the Kingdom of Louis, in the original plan, not to mention getting supplies along the way, he might not even see a living person.

However, judging from the present, let alone scorched-earth operations by the enemy, even the basic detection and harassment have disappeared for a long time. ——Judging from the situation of Xiaoyang City reported by Wu Xiaoqing, it is obvious that the enemy has been scared out of their wits now.

"That's what I said, but a war is a war, and the worst outcome is always considered. How much electricity do you have?"

"I just charged it yesterday, and it's all full."

"Then you can leave tomorrow, and help put on a movie tonight. It will be difficult for us to make movies after you leave."

The so-called playing movies is to pull a white cloth and use a projector to relay various videos downloaded from the laptop.

The content of the video is some clips prepared in advance by Shen Changwen and others - when mobilizing in the city, this method has received unprecedented welcome and praise from everyone.

The modern entertainment methods from the earth in the 21st century are naturally lethal to the medieval aborigines.

During the march, these movies had a very positive effect on improving morale. The only flaw was that these things were only used by the four modern people, and they were very power-intensive—in this era, it was labor-intensive.Shen Changwen spent several hours every day just to charge the battery pack.

Shen Changwen is a dignified professor, and now he has almost become an electrician and supervisor. After the circuit is built, a group of people are arranged to generate electricity with a hand generator.

"There are also leaflets. While the electricity is still available, let's use them together. The leaflet about not stealing food that was mentioned in the meeting yesterday will print another [-] copies tonight... How many meals did the king eat today?"

"Two meals, the record of the injection time is here." Xu Yan handed Shen Changwen a small notebook.

Now that the king was mentioned, Xu Yan also felt the need to say something else: "There is also him, this king... isn't it a little too much? Just today, more than 40 fingers were chopped off."

What Xu Yan was talking about was about stealing food, because most of the food was carried by people, but they were not allowed to steal food by themselves.So it is inevitable that someone wants to steal these grains.According to the plan, Shen Changwen set up a whistleblowing system in the team, as long as he reported others stealing food, he would be rewarded heavily.Those who were caught were handed over to the king, and his method of disposal was to throw dice and chop off their fingers according to the law of Elis.

Shen Changwen looked at Xu Yan: "I can't see that you are quite soft-hearted."

Xu Yan smiled awkwardly.Shen Changwen then sneered and said, "You'd better get used to it now, it's just a finger now, and when Wu Xiaoqing's affairs are over, I'm afraid you'll be beheaded every day."

……

"Angkor, you're looking good now!" Seeing Wu Xiaoqing's blood-stained armor and mighty uniform riding on a tall horse, Xu Yan felt a little regretful.

When the meeting was held to discuss, I should have taken the initiative to fight for the position of the forward commander!

How risky is it to fight against the ancients... Walking along the road behind Wu Xiaoqing and the others, it is said that it is an enemy territory, and there is not even a shadow of a ghost along the way.

Wu Xiaoqing took a look at the more than 1000 people brought by Xu Yan. They gathered together with the original 500 people. It was like going to a market in a mess.

The new soldiers who came to support were even more excited than Xu Yan. They were all enviously looking at the heavy spoils of the vanguard cavalry, and many soldiers even started to talk about the trade of spoils now.

Looking at the scorching sun above his head, and then at the densely packed human heads on the city wall in the distance, Wu Xiaoqing felt extremely irritable.

Xu Yan had just arrived and didn't know the situation. Right now, in Xiaoyang City opposite them, there were already more than 5000 troops, and the follow-up reinforcements were still coming.

And Wu Xiaoqing can only use 500 people.

If the enemy hadn't been scared out of their wits now, the search and rescue team would never have considered camping so close to the city.Wu Xiaoqing didn't dare to delay for a moment now. Even when he was sleeping during the day, he had to set the alarm clock and come out to patrol every two hours on average to ensure that the enemy did not gather in the city to prepare for a counterattack.

Wu Xiaoqing is now worried about his life safety at any time, and these medieval natives will always cause him some unimaginable things.

"It's more than three times ours?" Xu Yan was a little scared by the news, but he soon felt relieved, "That's not scary, don't we still have explosives?"

"Explosives are only useful for siege...the field effect is very poor." The search and rescue team is still urging the main force to send a larger reinforcement army as soon as possible. Only under the premise of sufficient strength, blasting and siege is meaningful.

If the strength of its own troops is far worse than that in the city, the meaning of the blasting is at best to kill 200 people on the city wall.

"So we are in danger?" Xu Yan looked at the city wall in the distance and couldn't help worrying.

"It's always been very dangerous, but we're not afraid. We'll hang it up." Wu Xiaoqing wanted to keep Xu Yan on guard, but he didn't want to scare him into thinking wildly. He pointed to his glasses and said, "If they want to come out, I will Know it in advance."

Xu Yan looked at the glasses, and couldn't help asking again: "Angkor, can you lend me a look... I heard that the search and rescue team gave it to you in person? Did it come from an alien spaceship?"

Wu Xiaoqing was a little strange: "Who did you listen to?"

Only he and Shen Changwen knew about this.

"Professor Shen made a slip of the tongue once... Uncle Wang heard it, and Uncle Wang told me," Uncle Wang is obviously Wang Youquan, "We are all on the same boat at Angkor... Don't you worry about me?" ?”

Wu Xiaoqing shook his head: "The search and rescue team specifically said that I can't give the glasses to others." People like Xu Yan really can't make people feel at ease.

"All right……"

"Others", this word makes Xu Yan feel a little sad. The experience of being an official during this period of time makes Xu Yan feel that he is now a core member. "Then let me ask, can this thing see a Human past and future?"

"Past and future?" Wu Xiaoqing frowned, "What's all this mess?"

"No such thing?"

"No."

"Really not?"

"Of course not! Who did you listen to? What do you think about the past and the future?"

"Ah..." Xu Yan's face was full of disappointment. He originally wanted Wu Xiaoqing to use this alien high-tech glasses to give his future a fortune.

"Talk back to the matter at hand," Wu Xiaoqing said, pointing to the city wall in front of him, "Let your people go to sleep now, we all fight at night."

"Ah, why at night? A night raid?"

"That's what it means," Wu Xiaoqing didn't want to explain to Xu Yan, pointing to the messy and noisy soldiers in the camp, "Let your people go back first, the search and rescue team asked us to camp separately at night. Let them all do their best." Get ready, there may be a war at night...they probably haven't seen any explosions."

"Tch, where are they going to see explosives..." Xu Yan said, just after he finished speaking, he realized that he had never seen it himself.At least I've heard of it, Xu Yan hastily comforted himself like this.

"Then tell them in advance, don't scare them all," Wu Xiaoqing already has experience in this regard, "Also, make your camp bigger and farther away from the city, about two kilometers away. It can be repaired in a few days, and it can release tens of thousands of people."

"Tens of thousands of people..." Xu Yan suddenly realized, "Ah, is this a bluff to scare them?"

"Why are you talking so much, you'll be done after you execute the order." When Xu Yan didn't come, Wu Xiaoqing still felt strangely deserted, and when he came, Wu Xiaoqing felt that this person was really annoying.

These orders are all from the search and rescue team, Wu Xiaoqing now knows not to ask about everything, especially this kind of level that they don't understand at all, because asking too much will only make him appear mentally retarded.

But Xu Yan obviously didn't have this awareness yet, just like when he was in the city before, Xu Yan always liked to talk more every time he held a meeting.
