Schemes of the Noble Households Chapter 87

Huan Wen's army evacuated Fangtou, and sent out more than a hundred scouts along the way to conduct scouts day and night to prevent the pursuit of the enemy. After two days of patrolling, the scouts did not find any Xianbei pursuers, but brought back the news that Murong Chui had poisoned the water source.

As Murong Chui had expected, Huan Wen became suspicious and did not dare to let the soldiers drink local well water. Instead, he sent out three teams to dig wells along the way to supply water to the army.

Because we are not professionals, we inevitably do useless work in the process. Basically, out of ten wells dug, only two or three can produce water.

Low work efficiency will naturally slow down the army's progress.

Originally, they could walk 50 to 60 miles a day, but now they could only walk 30 to 40 miles a day. In addition, most of the supplies were burned, and the soldiers could only eat the steamed cakes prepared in advance, and even the number of steamed cakes was very limited. Tired and hungry, the army quickly lost members.
