The First Tyrant of Daxia

Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone was waiting for Mu Le to come back with new discoveries.

About two hours later, the sky was already getting light, and the outline of the world above the plain began to emerge in the dim light.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the general's camp, as if they were in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed a problem!"

Before the Mu Le people entered the big tent, the voice had already come from outside the tent.

Hearing Mu Le's words, all the generals were suddenly shocked. His Majesty's guess was correct. The real purpose of Bachmann's night attack was not to defeat them in a desperate attempt, but to have other purposes.

And this purpose now seems to have been found.

Qin Yun quickly called Mu Le in. Seeing Mu Le's anxious expression, he quickly asked, "Ah Le, what went wrong? Tell me quickly."

Mu Le took a deep breath, and then said without delay: "Your Majesty, I just followed your instructions and immediately led the army to search from all directions with the military camp as the center. After our carpet search, we finally found some problems."

"What's the problem?" Qin Yun asked impatiently.

This problem is most likely where Bachmann’s conspiracy lies.

Mu Le wiped the sweat from his head, and then immediately said: "It's like this, I will lead the army to start searching everywhere. According to your majesty's order, we can stop at least three miles away."

"As a result, our soldiers found strange footprints of Bachmann's army two miles away. We followed the footprints and found that Bachmann's army seemed to have been to the nearby lake."

"What?! By the lake?!"

Hearing Mu Le's words, Qin Yun was suddenly shocked, and his expression was a little subtle.

When the generals in the big tent heard Mu Le's words, they were all shocked, and then a look of uneasiness appeared on their faces.

Cheng Fen said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the lake is where we drink water. If Bachmann's soldiers have been to the lake, will there be any problem with the lake water we usually drink?"

"There must be something wrong!" Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "That lake is where we drink water every day. Bachman must have known our diet. He ran over there and must have deliberately poisoned the water. If we drink the water from the lake, we will definitely be poisoned."

"That's right! Bachmann is really vicious!"

A group of generals couldn't help but start cursing.

Water is a very important thing. The human body can go without food for seven days, but it will die if it does not drink water for three days.

The only water resource nearby is that lake. If Bachman really put poison in the lake, then they can no longer drink the water there.

But it is impossible for people to leave and drink water. If the water in the lake over there is not drinkable, they can only go to a farther place to fetch water.

Qin Yun's face was a little gloomy: "Bachman really has a conspiracy. Poisoning the lake water is his conspiracy! If we drink the lake water there, even if we don't die immediately from the poisoning, we will lose our ability to fight because of the poisoning."

"By then, Bachmann will be able to successfully gain a lot of time to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, which is exactly the time he needs most."

"It's really insidious and vicious!"

Qin Yun looked at Mu Le and continued to ask: "Ah Le, besides the traces by the lake, are there any other traces of Bachman's army?"

Mu Le shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Except for the lake, we didn't find any traces."

"Well, it seems that Bachman really only tampered with the lakeside. The water there is no longer drinkable."

Qin Yun pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then asked the generals, "Generals, can you think of any water sources nearby?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Yun stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is an Almeria ferry near the royal city. There is a big river over there, and the moat of the royal city is diverted from there. There is a good water resource there."

Chi Yun once drove an iron boat to the vicinity of the Almeria ferry, but was stopped by Lu Bai at that time. Otherwise, he would have foolishly entered the moat of the royal city and would have been caught by Bachman.

When Qin Yun heard Chi Yun's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, that place is indeed a good water resource. How far is it from here to there?"

Chi Yun thought for a moment and replied again: "Your Majesty, it is about eight kilometers from here to the Almeria Ferry. However, the Almeria Ferry should still be guarded by the army. If you want to seize the water resources there, it will probably take a war."

Qin Yun frowned and said, "Lu Bai, tell me how many defenders there are at the Almeria ferry?"

Lu Bai said respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to my last observation, there are estimated to be about 5,000 defenders over there."

"But at that time, Bachman in the Royal City heard the news and specially sent a lot of additional personnel to intercept Senior Chi Yun at the ferry. Now we don't know how many defenders are left, but it is estimated that there will be no more than 5,000."

"Um……"

Qin Yun thought carefully for a while, then said: "Li Yuan, I will give you 5,000 defenders, can you guarantee to capture the Almeria ferry?!"

When Li Yuan heard Qin Yun's order, he immediately became excited and quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, as long as you give me 5,000 soldiers from the Divine Machine Battalion, I guarantee that I can definitely capture the Almeria Ferry."

At this time, Cheng Fen said, "Your Majesty, it's just a ferry, why do you need 5,000 soldiers from the Shenji Camp? Just give me 2,500 soldiers from the Shenji Camp, and I can take over the Almeria ferry."

Qin Yun was a little surprised when he heard Cheng Fen's words, and then he said in a deep voice: "If Bachman knew that I already knew that he had tampered with the lake water here, then he would definitely control the water resources in the near future."

"That is to say, if we want to take the Almeria ferry, we must be quick, accurate and ruthless. If we fail to take it in one go, Bachman will react and will definitely send a large number of troops to guard it. By then, it will probably not be so easy to take the Almeria ferry again."

Li Yuan said quickly: "Your Majesty is right. It would be the most correct and safest thing for you to give me 5,000 soldiers from the Shenji Battalion to attack the Almeria ferry."

Qin Yun had already thought about it in his mind, and then he said: "Li Yuan, you go and do this. You must take over the ferry and guard it. Don't throw away the water resources again."
