Book of Disaster

“There is a river here.”

Zhou Ning was the first to notice something unusual on the map.

Everyone turned around and looked at Bai Qi, wanting to get confirmation from him.

So the reason why Bai Qi was able to determine the location of Pei Yuankui and the others so quickly without leaving his house was because there was a river here?

Bai Qi did not deny it, but nodded instead.

"You have all seen that there is a Qinshui River here. The reason why I can determine their location is because of this water source."

"The entire southwest region is hilly, with many mountains and very few water sources. After a long raid, they will definitely not be far away from water sources when they need to rest during the retreat. This water source is their only choice within a thousand miles."

"However, warriors are different from ordinary people. Even if they don't drink water for four or five days, it won't have much impact. It doesn't necessarily have to be near a water source."

Someone spoke up, but still felt a little unconvincing.

As a warrior's strength increases, his body functions will also undergo earth-shaking changes. For an action like this, not drinking water for four or five days will have no effect at all.

"hehe."

Bai Qi just smiled when he heard this and glanced at the captain in the crowd:

"When did I say their base is near a water source? Is it because warriors cannot stand thirst and need to rest and drink water during the retreat?"

"What do you mean, Master?"

Xu Xuansu, Zhou Yixian, Zhou Ning, Zhang Chi and others looked at Bai Qi, becoming more and more confused.

They knew every word Bai Qi said, but when they put them together, they still couldn't understand.

If it weren't for the warriors, how did Bai Qi determine that their base was nearby?

Seeing this, Bai Qi just smiled.

This is called being confused by the players. Seeing everyone looking at him in confusion, Bai Qi shook his head and said only one sentence:

"A warrior can go without water for a long time, but...what about a horse? Can a horse also go without water for a long time?"

"horse?"

Everyone frowned and looked thoughtful.

At first, no one reacted, but when they came to their senses, they understood what Bai Qi meant.

boom!

One stone stirs up a thousand ripples. Xu Xuansu was shocked all over and was the first to understand.

Then Zhang Chi, Zhou Ning, and Zhou Yixian all understood what Bai Qi meant. They looked at Bai Qi with shock and admiration in their eyes.

Great skill is not skillful, and a heavy sword has no edge!

During this period, all the troops in Hanyang City were dispatched to search for the traces of the Blood Shadow Cavalry, including the water source marked by Bai Qi on the battle map. In fact, everyone paid attention to it, but no one gained anything, let alone found the real base of the Blood Shadow Cavalry.

However, Bai Qi did not leave his house, but he grasped the key to the whole matter in one sentence.

Yes! Warriors have surpassed the physical limits of ordinary people and cannot be guessed by common sense, but war horses are not like that.

There are peerless strong men who are called kings and saints, comparable to gods and demons, but I have never heard of a horse that can transform into a human and cultivate to the extreme.

No matter how powerful a horse is, it cannot transcend the scope of horses.

Especially the Blood Shadow Cavalry, they are incredibly fast, much faster than many elite cavalry, which makes them extremely maneuverable.

But on the other hand, it also means that the physical energy consumption of their war horses is far greater than that of ordinary war horses, and they need to drink water afterwards to replenish their physical strength in time.

Bai Qi was right. The Blood Shadow Cavalry of Dayu Kingdom had been harassing the vicinity of Hanyang City for a long time. If they wanted to keep their war horses in peak condition during the long-term harassment strategy, they would never be able to leave a stable water source.

Just as Bai Qi said, within a radius of a thousand miles, the Qinshui River is their only choice.

"But, kid...even if what you said is right, this Qinshui River stretches for hundreds of miles and covers a huge area. How can you determine their exact location? Why can't they be upstream or somewhere else, but must be here?"

Zhou Yixian asked doubtfully.

The others nodded as well, this was also their doubt.

Bai Qi marked an entire river on the map, not a well. Especially for a primitive river like the one in the southwest region, the area it flows through is too large, and it is still very difficult to search, and the position of the Blood Shadow Cavalry still cannot be located.

Bai Qi did not answer directly, but looked at a regular cavalryman beside him who came with them from the southwest training base.

"Let me ask you, given the situation in our Yuan Dynasty, if a warhorse runs at full speed without stopping, how far can it run in a day?"

"This... is about eight hundred miles."

The soldier said.

Bai Qi nodded. This data was not much different from the war horses in the other world.

Obviously, although the two worlds have many differences, they also have many similarities. At least the war horses in this world and the war horses in the other world are still within the normal range.

"I have listened carefully to your report just now. During this period of time, we have sent out all the cavalry to search for them everywhere. Although we did not find their base in the end, it is not without results."

Bai Qi paused, then continued:

"With more than 100,000 troops searching at full strength, under normal circumstances, even if they can't find them, there should be some useful clues. But the current situation is very unreasonable. The situation you are searching now can only prove one thing, that is, the distance and area you are searching are still far away from Pei Yuankui and his real base."

"In other words, after each attack by the Blood Shadow Cavalry, the distance behind them was extremely far, not dozens of miles, not a hundred miles, but... at least hundreds of miles."

When Bai Qi said this, he glanced at the people around him and found that everyone was attracted by him, and each of them looked focused and listened attentively.

"Pei Yuankui is very cautious and cunning. Based on his style of doing things, I judge that their base should be... 800 miles away."

At the end, Bai Qi said solemnly.

"what?!"

One stone can cause a thousand ripples. Even Zhang Chi was shocked when he heard Bai Qi's words.

Eight hundred miles?

So far!

This distance is too terrifying. Under normal circumstances, no army would search such a long distance.

"It seems that you have understood, but this is exactly what Pei Yuankui wants to achieve. Never underestimate your opponent."

Bai Qi said in a deep voice:

"The reason why we are sure it is 800 miles is because this is exactly the distance a warhorse can travel in a day. The Blood Shadow Cavalry of Dayu is better than us and can travel faster, so it is probably around 800 miles, not much more."

"Eight hundred miles on foot, one day to go, one day to return, a total of one thousand six hundred miles, this is their maximum attack distance. Only in this way can we ensure that no matter how hard we search, we will not find the base of this Daewoo army."
