Seeing the floating cloth strips and the foul-smelling drinking water, the guards were shocked and immediately reported the news to Uhri.
Uhli's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried to the water tank. When he took a closer look, his heart dropped.
These three boxes of water are their only remaining drinking water, and they must be supported until the next material reserve point.
Although the water is still drinkable, it is contaminated and has an unpleasant stench. Once distributed, it will definitely anger the soldiers.
"broken!"
"Qin Feng indeed sent someone to infiltrate our team!"
Wu Cheng, whose expression was extremely ugly, said, "There are not many of us, we are all familiar faces. Even if Qin Feng's secret guards have great powers, there is no way they can infiltrate quietly."
"The only explanation is that some deserters were captured by the Anwu Guards, were instigated to rebel, and came back to cause trouble!"
Liu Biao's eyes also showed despair: "Our biggest problem is that we have no supervisory troops!"
These soldiers and horses are all bandits and have almost no loyalty to Uhri. Those who can serve as supervisors must be loyal soldiers.
Without a supervisory army, it is impossible to fully control the situation of the army.
and……
People's hearts are now in a state of flux. Even if there is a supervisory army, it is impossible to take a strict attitude towards the soldiers under their command, otherwise it is very likely to force a group of soldiers to rebel.
There are no worries in this deep mountain and old forest. The only thing that can suppress these soldiers is supplies.
Now that the drinking water is in danger, how can we appease the soldiers under our command? !
I'm afraid I won't be able to get through this hurdle today.
Liu Biao couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "I didn't expect Qin Feng's methods to be so vicious. Fortunately, he is still a prince!"
Hearing this, Wu Heli couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Qin Feng can use even more shameless methods than this. Although he is a prince, he has been active on the front line, and he is basically the same as those who are pampered and privileged. Two ways.”
"Even... Qin Feng is more shameless than ordinary ruffians!"
What's the use of abusing Qin Feng now?
Wu Cheng's eyes moved and he was ready to risk his life. He immediately asked the guards to guard the water tanks and postponed the distribution of drinking water.
At the same time, they stayed away from Uhli and Liu Biao to avoid hearing.
Wu Cheng's voice was very low: "In order to prevent the soldiers from rebelling, we also have a box of water, stored separately, and kept under my nose."
"This box of water cannot satisfy five hundred people at all. It can only hold a hundred people to the material reserve point."
"Brother, the matter has come to this, we can only abandon our troops to save our chariot!"
Before Uhli could respond, Liu Biao frowned: "Are we going to abandon the remaining four hundred people?"
Wu Cheng's eyes were determined: "Brother Liu, if we are not ruthless, we will definitely be chopped into pieces by these angry soldiers. This is not betrayal, but self-protection."
"Besides, since we entered the mountain, we have been on tenterhooks all day. Does this pressure come from Qin Feng or our own team? Do I need to say more?"
"These bandit soldiers are simply unreliable."
"Abandon four hundred, leaving only relatively loyal soldiers. The team depends on the quality, not the quantity."
"As long as we can keep our footing and make a comeback, it's not empty talk."
Although Liu Biao was unwilling to accept this fact, he knew very well in his heart that Wu Cheng was right. Instead of being in fear all day long, it would be better to streamline the army and keep only loyal subordinates.
Although the number of people has decreased, this is a deep mountain and old forest after all. With more than a hundred people, there is still a lot to do. At least Qin Feng will not send a large army into the mountains to encircle and suppress them, otherwise the cost will be too high.
The most important thing is that once the number of people is reduced, the marching speed will become much faster, and Qin Feng will no longer be bitten behind.
Even the distribution of materials will become extremely wealthy, and there will no longer be the worry of being trapped and dying in the mountains.
Liu Biao no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth secretly, and accepted Wu Cheng's suggestion.
Since fifty people had already been dispatched to go to the material reserve point before, only fifty more people needed to be dispatched.
It is not troublesome to screen these fifty people, and the soldiers guarding the supplies are completely trustworthy.
On the pretext of surveying the terrain and choosing an ambush point, the three of them took fifty soldiers and left without looking back.
The remaining four hundred soldiers did not react much.
The reason is simple. Uhri took away the soldiers guarding the supplies.
Everyone even laughed secretly in their hearts, feeling that Uhri had already been kicked in the head by a donkey.
Once Uhri was far away, they rushed towards the supplies with a clear goal, the most important one being the water tank.
But when they opened the water tank, they were all dumbfounded.
A stench rushed towards them. Looking at the turbid drinking water, the bandit soldiers were stunned for a long time, and then they burst into extreme anger.
"What a bastard!"
"Why did the water become like this?"
"That bastard Uhli, could he have run away?!"
"What do you mean, he must have run away. Damn, this bastard has clearly abandoned us."
"I'm going to kill him!"
"Brothers, Uhri took us into the mountains, but ended up abandoning his soldiers several times. He is worse than a pig or a dog. It would be fine if he just left. Before leaving, he actually polluted the water. Don't kill him. It’s not enough to calm people’s hearts!”
"You're right, catch up with that bastard and chop him to death!"
Four hundred bandit soldiers who were extremely angry, Wu Yangyang chased in the direction where Wu Heli left.
Unfortunately, they didn't understand the topography of the Qilian Mountains at all, and not long after running, they got lost in the mountains one after another.
Uhli, on the other hand, led his cronies to the top of the mountain opposite.
At the same time, Qin Feng led a group of soldiers to directly change direction and prepare to retreat.
Zhao Zhenhai was still puzzled at first: "King Qin, we have been chasing for so long, and if we go back now, wouldn't we give up halfway?"
"That bastard Uhri is only half a day away from us. As long as we step up our pursuit, we can still catch up."
Qin Feng obviously hated Wu Heli deeply, but he suddenly let him go. Zhao Zhenhai racked his brains and couldn't figure it out.
Qin Feng shrugged, looking very free and easy.
"This is a deep mountain and old forest. Don't use plain methods to estimate the distance here."
"Uhli is quite a hill away from us. As the saying goes, it takes only half a day to climb a hill. It might take two or three days!"
"This place is half a month away from the outside of the mountain. The Qilian Mountains will soon become humid. Uhli is guarding the mountains and can only resign himself to his fate."
"Uhri's team has dispersed. The four hundred abandoned bandits cannot survive more than five days in the mountains."
"Our goal has been achieved."
"A war does not necessarily have to be a military confrontation. As long as you push the opponent into a desperate situation, it will be considered a victory."
