Li Di said with a solemn face: "There is no problem with the battle outside the Yumen Pass, but there seems to be a black sweat outside the Yumen Pass who is infected with the plague. Kou Shumian was checking this time.

Until this matter is verified, there can be no personnel contact between the two customs for the time being. ”

Di Qing's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Plague...... The plague was terrible...... How did the Black Khan get the plague? ”

The ancients were very afraid of the plague.

Because no plague the ancients contracted any plague, there was no possibility of cure.

So the ancients contracted the plague and almost died.

The ancients' means of preventing plague were simple, that is, blockade, massacre, and there was no possibility of research and treatment at all.

Often when a plague occurs in a place, the imperial court will send troops and horses to blockade the place, and then block the people in this place and leave them to fend for themselves.

If necessary, soldiers and horses will be sent to slaughter.

Li Di said solemnly: "In the official document sent by Kou Shumi, it was the Black Khan King Yu Sufu who drove hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers to one place, regardless of whether he asked. As a result, nearly 100,000 people died.

Nearly 100,000 dead people, and hundreds of thousands of dead people coexist.

After a long time, the plague was born. ”

Di Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Black Khan King Yu Sufu should be damned!" ”

Li Di nodded and said, "Chong Shiheng has already led his troops to chase after the Black Khan King Yusufu. ”

Di Qing said angrily: "I hope that the same knowledge can cut off the head of the black sweat king Yu Sufu." ”

The ancients were very afraid of the plague, and naturally hated the people who gave birth to it.

Li Di heard Di Qing's words and said with emotion: "Although the Black Khan King Yu Sufu suffered a fiasco, there are a lot of soldiers and horses left in his hand, and it is difficult to say if he can take him down. ”

Just when Li Di and Di Qing were thinking about Chong Shiheng, Chong Shiheng led the soldiers and horses to Suoyang City.

After the Black Khan King Yu Sufu led his troops to retreat to Suoyang City, he ordered his soldiers and horses to be stationed inside and outside Suoyang City.

Chong Shiheng led the soldiers and horses to Suoyang City, and saw that there were black sweat banners fluttering in Suoyang City, and it seemed that there were black sweat soldiers and horses stationed inside.

Outside Suoyang City, there are also a large number of black sweat soldiers and horses stationed around the city wall.

Suoyang City is only a small city, and there is no way to accommodate the 800,000 Black Khan soldiers stationed, so some of the Black Khan soldiers are stationed inside the city, and some of the Black Khan soldiers are stationed outside the city.

After Chong Shiheng led his troops to the outside of Suoyang City, he did not rush to attack, but was thinking about how to use the least number of troops to drive the enemy away from Suoyang City.

He's not going to go head-to-head with the enemy again.

Even if Kou Ji doesn't warn, he won't go head-to-head with the enemy.

Because he and Kou Ji had already laid out the backhand to devour 800,000 Black Khan soldiers, there was no need to go head-to-head with the Black Khan soldiers.

Chong Shiheng ordered the soldiers and horses to be stationed not far from Suoyang City, and was thinking about how to break the enemy.

Inside the city of Suoyang.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu was thinking about how to come to Yumen Pass again.

His generals hurriedly broke into the temporary residence of the Black Khan King Yusufu.

"King Khan, what's wrong?"

Black Khan King Yu Sufu furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" The Song people chased after them? ”

The general said solemnly: "The Song people are chasing after them, but there are more serious ones than them." ”

When the Black Khan King Yu Sufu heard this, his brows tightened even tighter, "What's the matter?" ”

The general took a deep breath and said, "There are soldiers in our army who are coughing up blood......"

Black Khan King Yu Sufu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "But you were seriously injured?" ”

The general gritted his teeth and said, "The seriously injured soldiers, we have been lost at the Yumen Pass. ”

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu asked, "Why is that?" ”

The general hesitated: "It may be...... Plague ......"

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu's face changed.

Koji was unfamiliar with the plague because he had disposed of the corpses of his enemies, the corpses of his own soldiers, during the campaign.

But the Black Khan King Yu Sufu was no stranger to the plague, because when he was fighting, he didn't care about the corpses of the enemy and the corpses of his own soldiers, so he often encountered the plague during his expedition.

Not only did he encounter plague from time to time, but he also occasionally used horses with horse plague to pollute water sources.

So he knew the plague very well.

"Quick! Quickly pull out the soldiers who coughed up blood and behead them, and incinerate the corpses. And the soldiers who were with them were drawn out with them. ”

"King Khan!"

The general shouted heavily.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu asked, "You want to keep them?!" ”

The general said in a deep voice: "I mean, we will leave those soldiers who are infected with the plague and let them fight the Song soldiers. ”

Black Khan King Yu Sufu raised his eyebrows and hurriedly said, "You mean, let the Song people be infected with the plague as much as possible?" ”

The general nodded, "Since we can't take the Yumen Pass for a long time, then let's just let the people in the Yumen Pass die." If they all die, then we can take the Yumen Pass without blood. ”

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu hesitated a little, "If Yumen Pass becomes a ghost city, how can we cross Yumen Pass?" ”

The general spoke: "Yangguan! ”

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu was stunned for a moment, and pondered: "The Song people have sent so many soldiers and horses to Yumen Pass, if they are all infected with the plague, they will fall in Yumen Pass." The number of troops holding Yangguan is very small.

If we attack Yangguan with the Liao soldiers, they should not be able to stop it. ”

Speaking of this, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu commanded: "Just do as you say." Leave those soldiers infected with the plague to deal with the Song soldiers. We led the Song soldiers to run behind, and when the Song soldiers were infected with the plague, we cut off our tails and turned around and went to Yangguan. ”

The general nodded, gave a salute, and went down to do things according to the instructions of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu ordered people to pack their bags and prepare to leave Suoyang City.

A long way outside the city of Suoyang.

As soon as Chong Shiheng ordered the soldiers to set up camp, he heard a report from the scout, saying that Yu Sufu, the king of the Black Khan, led most of the soldiers and horses, and began to pull out the camp and prepare to leave Suoyang City.

Chong Shiheng immediately rode his horse to see it.

Sure enough, I saw the Black Khan King Yu Sufu leading the army, rushing out of Suoyang City and rushing all the way to Guazhou City.

On the one hand, Chong Shiheng instructed the scouts to continue to chase, and on the other hand, he ordered the soldiers and horses to pull out the camp and rush to Suoyang City.

Chong Shiheng took the soldiers and horses to Suoyang City, and saw the soldiers infected with the plague left by the Black Khan King Yu Sufu guarding Suoyang City.

Chong Shiheng felt that the behavior of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu was strange, so he did not lead the army to attack Suoyang City directly, but sent a partial division to attack Suoyang City.

There were not many Black Khan soldiers left in Suoyang City, only a few thousand.

There are tens of thousands of teachers sent out by Chong Shiheng.

Relying on the power of artillery, they easily broke through Suoyang City, beheaded some Black Khan, and left some Black Khan behind.

The partial general who led the partial division, after taking Suoyang City, immediately rushed to Chong Shiheng's side to report.

"Seed marshal, when his subordinates captured the Black Khan captives, they found a trace of inappropriateness."

Chong Shiheng frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The general said in a deep voice: "There are many people coughing up blood!" ”

Chong Shiheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "When you capture the captives, can you use a blunt object to injure them?" ”

The general shook his head and said, "If the subordinates and others used blunt weapons, it would be impossible for them to come and think about this matter." ”

Chong Shiheng's face changed slightly, and he asked, "What are your guesses?" ”

The general said solemnly: "My subordinates suspect that they may be infected with the disease...... It's probably a human disease......"

Chong Shiheng secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, those black sweat soldiers were definitely not sick.

Instead, he contracted the plague.

But the word plague, Chong Shiheng can't say it directly, and it is easy to shake the morale of the army.

Chong Shiheng had a gloomy face, and instructed the general: "You take people to cut them off one by one, burn their corpses, and then take your people to guard Suoyang City." No one is allowed to enter or leave without my military order. ”

The general did not doubt him, and immediately led his soldiers to do what Shiheng ordered.

After the general left, Chong Shiheng stared at the place where the Black Khan King Yu Sufu left with a gloomy face, and scolded in a low voice: "The dog should have discovered that there is a plague in the army a long time ago, so he wants to use the plague to harm my soldiers and horses."

Or maybe it's the plague that Dog Day deliberately brewed.

The purpose is to break the jade gate. ”

People on the grassland often use horse plague to destroy water sources and use plague against enemies, and Chong Shiheng does not find it strange.

Chong Shiheng ordered someone to bring paper money, wrote a letter, and asked someone to send it to Kou Ji, and then led his soldiers and horses to chase after the footsteps of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu.

When Chong Shiheng led the army to Guazhou City, it was already two days later.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu concocted the same method, once again left thousands of soldiers infected with the plague, guarded Guazhou City, and then left Guazhou City with a large group of soldiers and horses.

Chong Shiheng sent a force of soldiers and horses to besiege Guazhou City, but did not attack Guazhou City.

Then he led the remaining soldiers and horses to chase after the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan King Yusufu.

Chased all the way to the edge of the Le River.

The world is happy.

He thought that he would have to waste a lot of means to drive the enemy to the Lehe, but he did not expect the enemy to take the initiative to run to the Lehe.

After Chong Shiheng arrived not far from the Le River, he found that the Black Khan soldiers were crossing the river.

Looking at the black sweat soldiers who crossed the river, Chong Shiheng sighed faintly and said: "Yu Sufu, Yu Sufu, there are some evil things, you shouldn't do them, if you do too much, you will be easily harvested by the sky." ”

Heaven seemed to respond to Chong Shiheng's words.

After the sound of Shiheng landed.

Somewhere on the Lehe River, a torrent suddenly gushed out.

The torrent was wrapped in some wood and rushed down.

The Black Khan soldiers who were crossing the river were cut in two sections from the middle.

Some of the Black Khan soldiers who were screaming in terror in the river were directly swept away by the water.

Immediately afterwards, I saw rows of rafts made of wood appear on the surface of the river above.

The raft was full of people, muskets in their hands, and they all aimed at the black sweat soldiers on both sides of the river.

On the raft at the forefront, stood a veteran with a heavy bow and a heavy arrow on it.

"Whoosh~"

As he approached the Black Khan, the veteran let go of his bowstring.

Heavy arrows flew out.

The soldiers and horses sitting on the raft opened fire one after another after the heavy arrows flew out.

For a time, there was a lot of gunfire on the river.

The Black Khan soldiers on both sides of the river fled in all directions.

"Ambush!"

"Song soldiers have an ambush!"

“……”

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu saw his soldiers and horses in chaos, his eyes widened, and his face was incredulous.

"Why? Why is this happening......"

The answer to him was the sound of Shiheng giving the order to charge.

On the raft floating on the river, sat the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty.

They cooperated with Chong Shiheng and attacked the black sweat soldiers who remained on the east bank of the river on both sides.

The Black Khan soldiers fled in all directions under the flanking attack.

Those who couldn't escape simply knelt on the ground and chose to surrender.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu could only watch dryly on the west bank of the river.

The soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty on the river, after floating to the place where the Black Khan soldiers crossed the river, flicked their hooks and locks, hooked the stones and other objects on the river bank, and then pulled the raft and floated to the river bank, rushing up to kill the Black Khan soldiers.

After a slaughter that lasted more than two hours.

The Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses on the river were successful and the soldiers and horses led by Chong Shiheng met the division.

Chong Shiheng and the veteran met, jumped off the horse together, ran to the front, and the bear hugged him.

After the veteran hugged Chong Shiheng, he laughed and said, "I waited for this group of rabbit cubs upstream for a full month, and I thought they wouldn't come." ”

Chong Shiheng said with a smile: "Are you afraid that I won't be able to beat them, so you will squat here for a month." ”

The veteran laughed and said, "Nothing......"

Chong Shiheng shook his head and smiled, not debunking the veteran's lies.

The veteran is none other than Chen Yaozhi, who was transferred from Yongzhou by Kou Ji.

His subordinates led the 50,000 Yongzitou forbidden army in Yongzhou.

After he arrived in Hexi, Kou Ji discussed with Chong Shiheng and ordered him to quietly lead people along the desert north of Yumen Pass to the upper reaches of the Le River.

Then build a dam to store water in the upper reaches of the Le River, and prepare to use the water power to give the Black Khan soldiers a head-on attack.

The Black Khan soldiers were so numerous that it was difficult to defeat them in one fell swoop with the constant encounters on the battlefield alone.

If you want to defeat them completely and cripple them, you can't do it unless you have a large number of forbidden armies, or with the help of fire and water.

Kou Ji couldn't dispatch a huge number of forbidden troops, so he could only rely on fire and water.

When planting Shiheng Jianbi and clearing the wilderness, the trees outside the Yumen Pass were cut down cleanly, so there was no way to use firepower.

The only thing that can be done is water.

It just so happens that there is a Lehe River at the junction of Guazhou and Shazhou.

They can just take advantage of the Lehe layout.

The three of them originally thought that they would drive the enemy to Lehe, and they would inevitably have to fight a few battles with the enemy.

But they didn't expect that in order to let them contract the plague, the enemy actually took the initiative to retreat to the Lehe River.

Actively drilled into the ambush circle.

Then, it turned into a bloody massacre.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu, as well as some Black Khan generals, were the first to cross the river.

Only a part of the minor commanders were left to direct the soldiers and horses to cross the river on the east bank of the river.

Therefore, the Black Khan soldiers on the east bank of the river can almost be said to be leaderless.

In the face of a sudden attack, in the face of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses strangled on both sides.

Except to flee, they surrendered.

Seeing his soldiers and horses running around to capture prisoners, Chong Shiheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Black Khan King Yu Sufu is simply a pig's brain, when he led people to cross the river, he didn't pay attention to the water level on the river that dropped a lot, and he didn't think about whether there was an ambush. ”

Chen Yaozhi heard Chong Shiheng's words, and laughed: "It's not that Yusufu is stupid, but because he has been blocking outside the Yumen Pass, and he didn't expect our soldiers and horses to appear behind him."

What's more, when I blocked the water, I didn't block the water, but only blocked part of it.

The water level has dropped, but it has not dried.

A certain amount of water and flow rate are still maintained.

The average person rarely cares. ”

Chong Shiheng looked at Chen Yaozhi with some surprise, and wanted to ask him how he controlled the amount of water.

But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them.

Because he remembered something.

Chen Yaozhi is from a famous family and has a family background.

And his brother Chen Yaozuo is a famous water conservancy expert in the Great Song Dynasty.

Since his brother is an expert in water conservancy, even if he is not proficient in water conservancy, he will understand more or less, and his use of water will naturally be more satisfactory than others.

As they spoke, the war was not over.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu probably left nearly 500,000 soldiers and horses on the east bank of the river, strangled and captured 500,000 Black Khan soldiers, but it took a long time.

The Black Khan King Yusufu stood on the west bank of the river, watching the Black Khan soldiers under his command being strangled and captured, and his heart was dripping blood.

Chen Yaozhi and Chong Shiheng finished talking about the old days, and watched the Black Khan King Yu Sufu leading the soldiers and horses on the other side of the river, Chen Yaozhi suddenly became dissatisfied, "Don't you leave yet?!" Waiting for us to invite him to dinner?! ”

"Go! Push the cannon up and give him a few shots! Let him fuck off! ”

Chen Yaozhi shouted loudly.

Immediately, some soldiers of the forbidden army pushed their artillery to the shore and bombarded the black Khan king Yusufu on the other side of the river.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu almost vomited blood in anger, and finally could only grit his teeth and leave the river bank with the remaining soldiers.

He lost, completely lost.

In order to fight against the Great Song Dynasty, he dispatched nearly 1.5 million soldiers and horses from the Black Khanate, almost emptying four-fifths of the Black Khanate's troops.

Now there are less than 300,000 Black Khan soldiers left.

He no longer had the confidence to fight with Song Jun.

Because if he continues to fight with the Song army, the 300,000 black sweat soldiers under his command may also be eaten by the Song army.

If he didn't have any soldiers and horses, then he, the king of the Black Khan, might not be able to sit firmly.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu led his people to retreat to Shazhou City in a hurry.

Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaozhi led people to capture the captives for the night.

After dawn.

Of the nearly 500,000 Black Khan soldiers, more than 400,000 became prisoners.

The rest either jumped into the water and fled, or were beheaded on the battlefield.

Chen Yaozhi decided to invite Chong Shiheng to celebrate together.

In the big tent of the Chinese army.

Chen Yaozhi, who had won the battle, smiled brightly, "Brother Xian, we have fought a rare victory, shouldn't we celebrate?" ”

Chong Shiheng wrote a letter and sighed: "I don't know where to go next, how can I still have the heart to celebrate." ”

Chen Yaoshi was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Chong Shiheng put down his pen and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid we won't be able to return to Yumen Pass for the time being." ”

Chen Yaozhi frowned, "What do you mean?" Is there an evil tiger in the way of Yumen Pass? ”

Chong Shiheng nodded and said, "It's almost ......."

Chen Yaozhi asked in a deep voice, "Who?!" ”

Chong Shiheng sighed: "Black sweat people ......"

Chen Yaozhi looked puzzled.

Chong Shiheng explained with a solemn face: "There is a plague among the Black Khan people......

"Hiss......"

Chen Yaozhi looked frightened and gasped.

Chen Yaozhi asked with some disbelief: "Really?" ”

Chong Shiheng glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "This matter was first discovered by Kou Shumi, and he has already ordered the Yumen Pass to be blocked. When I was leading people to chase the Black Khan soldiers, I found that many of the Black Khans were coughing up blood for no reason.

My soldiers felt that it was a human-to-human disease.

But I think it's a plague. ”

Chen Yaozhi inhaled, "If it's really a plague, then it's terrible. ”

Chong Shiheng said in a deep voice: "We have just captured hundreds of thousands of captives of the Black Khan soldiers, and we don't know if any of them have been infected with the plague, so we can't go back to the Yumen Pass now." ”

Chen Yaozhi gritted his teeth, muttered for a long time, and said: "When I was in charge of the place before, I saw the plague, and I also led troops to blockade the plague town, so I roughly know how to deal with it.

Let's start by separating our men and prisoners.

The captives were then subdivided into custody.

We're here for a few days.

Wait for the Black Khans of the plague to strike.

As soon as they had a seizure, we executed all the people in one of their tents.

In this way, the spread of the plague among the army can be prevented.

When we kill the plague in the army, we will be able to lead the Terracotta Club to close the Jade Gate. ”

Chong Shiheng thought for a moment and sighed.

"So far, that's all it can be......"

Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaozhi both knew the horror of the plague, so they decided to separate the captives from the soldiers, and immediately put it into action.

The execution of the army is very fast.

After the orders of Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaozhi were conveyed, the soldiers were immediately stationed separately in the unit of 2,051 battalions.

The same goes for the captives.

Even the captured horses, cattle and sheep were the same.

After the soldiers were divided, Chong Shiheng and Chen Yaozhi strictly ordered all the soldiers to guard the barracks and not to enter or leave.

In the days that followed, the two of them took people on patrol of the barracks and prisoners' camps.

After the Black Khan King Yu Sufu retreated to Shazhou City with his people, he had the intention of retreating.

Nearly 1.5 million soldiers and horses entered the Song Dynasty and nearly 1.2 million were buried.

Less than 300,000 remained.

A large number of elite soldiers of the entire Black Khanate were buried in the Song State.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu didn't dare to fight anymore, he was afraid that if he continued to fight, the capital of the Black Khan would be exhausted.

As for causing Song Jun to be infected with the plague, and then turning around to go to Yangguan, he has left it behind.

After the heart was retreating, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu sent someone to contact Xiao Pi's enemy.

Let's see if Xiao Pi is still alive.

If he was alive, he would inform Xiao of his rivalry, and if he was dead, he would decisively lead his troops and horses away.

Just as he was sending people to find Xiao Pi's rival, several horsemen came from the direction where the Black Khanate was located.

told a black Khan king Yu Sufu the news that he couldn't accept.

His princess got involved with a young man named Gargamel, and that guy named Gargamel somehow became the Zuoxian King of the Black Khanate.

After the Black Khan King Yu Sufu learned the news, he couldn't care about Xiao Rival's opponent at all, and immediately withdrew from Shazhou with his soldiers and horses, and went straight to the Black Khanate.
