Chapter 185: A Sharp Turn
After this battle, Liu Gouyu did not love war, and let Wang Du go!
Of course, such a feat cannot be accomplished at all with the strength of the dog's remnants, after all, the water in the river valley was changed by the militia......
Long before that, Gou Yu contacted the local militia organization and asked the peasant association to organize a militia of 50,000 people, first to build a dam at the mouth of the valley, and then, according to the situation, to divert a large river......
Then, the dog left to arrange this ambush!
The old and weak women and children in this area have all been evacuated to the south and resettled in a centralized manner, and the young and strong people who remain are in the militia organization, and now the militia is elusive and can cooperate with the regular army to fight at any time, so it seems that Wang Du is uninhabited here, and the possibility of him asking for directions is completely eliminated!
And his military map is almost at the level of a child's drawing, and in this kind of ghost place that is completely unfamiliar with life, it is better to have it than not to have it......
Wang Du began to stop and fight with the rest of the dogs, all the way to the south, in fact, to Jingnan......
He missed Xiangyang, and even went far away...... Everywhere he went, he was deserted, he didn't know where it was, there was no compass at this time, and in this foggy, lush vegetation mountain, the mountains all looked almost identical, so people couldn't even distinguish the direction, so he quickly got lost in the mountains!
Wang Du walked around the mountains for a few days, and found that he would always find his footprints when he went around and around, and it seemed that he was not advancing at all!
I have already eaten all the things I can eat, but fortunately, there are more animals in this big mountain, and I can satisfy my hunger when I call, but the soldiers have generally begun to starve! The soldiers were also very depressed, thinking that if they continued to turn around, they might not be able to get out of the messy mountains and rivers even if they became savages!
Wang Du always asked the scout: "Can't you find a common man to ask for directions?" ”
The scout had no choice but to say: "After searching all around, the people are still distributed here, but they are all gone!" ”
Wang Du sighed and said, "This trick of clearing the wilderness is really good!" In this foggy mountain, tens of thousands of troops can be trapped without moving a single soldier! It's unexpected! ”
One day, one of the scouts will come back! said that unfamiliar footprints were found, and they were the footprints of a large group of people!
"Catch up! Revisit! ”
After the scout revisited, he reported that the team had no banner and was marching fast!
After some analysis, Wang Du and several partial generals all thought that it was Liu Qi's team.
Wang Du said: "It is definitely the thief soldier of Liu Qi who once ambushed us, and he has designed a trick for us to flood!" Now they must be trying to confuse us again and plan to ambush us! Hum! These cunning thieves! Follow me quietly, the vanguard must leave immediately, do not be discovered by it, as long as we reach the favorable terrain, we will kill it together and annihilate this group of thieves! ”
In front of the Jingzhou army beheaded 4,000, everyone is robe, there must be anger in their hearts, coupled with the nest fire that has been lost in the past few days, everyone is holding back their strength, thinking of finding the enemy to slash and kill, so this idea has been unanimously approved by everyone!
Of course, it is very difficult to get out of here now, only by following the Jingzhou army is the right way, after all, people are the masters here, they are very familiar with this place, and they will definitely not get lost! The only bad thing is that this group of people will disturb the beasts in the road ahead, their own people will keep up, it is more difficult to hunt, and now they have a food crisis, and they are hungry and follow the people, which is really a bit unsophisticated. The royal capital decided to set up a special hunting camp for the army to prepare food......
Wang Du, as a somewhat famous general, if it is spread out and get lost in the mountains, he will trap the army, isn't this a joke, so although Wang Du feels that the enemy's traces appear a little strange, but at this time, he has to follow them, as long as they can walk, they can still walk, they can still drink, they can still drink......
So, the people and horses of the royal capital followed the footprints for a few days, and they felt that it was getting hotter and hotter, and the black fog could be seen in the valley from afar, and there were more poisonous insects and beasts!
"Did you find anything?" Wang Du felt more and more strange.
"There were no major discoveries, just that the thieves looked dirty and covered in mud! Even the face is not spared, it looks like a clay sculpture of the person! The scout reported back.
"Even your face is covered in mud?"
"Yes, with mud all over my face!"
"How many days has this been the case?"
"It was like that four or five days ago, but I thought they were hunting or fishing, and they got dirty, and after a few days, I thought it was deliberate! So, this is also a change in the thief army......" Scout said.
"It's been like this for many days, and that's weird! It's certainly a way for them to protect themselves! Ordered the whole army, covered in mud, don't even let go of your face! Wang Du was very flustered when he arrived, and he vaguely felt that something bad was going to happen!
He reached out and slapped a mosquito to death! Seeing the mosquitoes buzzing around in front of me, my heart became more and more irritable and flustered!
The army continued to advance, and in the early morning of the next day, the newspaper reported that many people in the army had begun to have violent diarrhea! There are many people who can't get up anymore!
"Huh?" Wang Du jumped up and said, "It's bad, it's bad!" The thieves were covered in mud, and they didn't even let go of their faces, in order to prevent diarrhea! Definitely! If you go down, you must be smeared with thick mud! ”
However, there is no use for eggs! Another three days passed! The people of the royal capital began to have a lot of diarrhea, and someone had already died!
"Oh no, we're got the plague!" Wang Du quickly made a judgment!
He ordered the healthy soldiers to dispose of the corpses quickly, set them on fire, and gathered together those who had chills, fever, diarrhea, and cold sweats, and let the door follow the large army, which was still asymptomatic people, and quickly began to retreat the same way!
However, it was already too late!
Another day passed, and almost everyone in the army had symptoms, including Wang Du himself! Wang Du is still just shivering, which makes him very unable to figure out how to shiver in such a hot place!
He looked at the more and more checkmates who had begun to convulse, and saw that several of the military doctors had died, and his heart was already desperate!
They are not familiar with the land, they don't know what it is, how they get it, and they certainly don't know how to heal it! So now, it's all here!
By the time another five days had passed, thousands of the army had died, and in desperation, some had fled in all directions, burrowed into the woods, and most of them had to die!
Almost all of them were sick, and by this time there were no sick people, all of them should not be killed, there were only more than ten people in the whole army, and the king called them.
