With the gradual rise of the summer temperature, the sea of corpses and blood under Hedong City has long been rotten into a stinky swamp of flesh and blood. Don't say it's the can't see or touch the plague of cholera; Even the flesh-and-blood rats and vicious dogs have begun to make up the idea of living people.

If it weren't for Wang Yi's thunderous means to force the Northern Yan captives to take water from the salt pond and repeatedly go to the battlefield to splash it; I am afraid that the main force of the Qin army, which is hundreds of thousands, has already turned into a delicious meal for the beasts and crows. And it is foreseeable that if the Qin army continues to be stationed here, it will not be more than seven days at first, and those lucky people who are not infected with cholera may not be able to escape the clutches of the plague.

By the early hours of yesterday morning, the wounded battalion, which was the first to break out of cholera, had died of eighty percent of the disease; And the remaining two percent are difficult to stand alone, but they are still surviving; As for the prisoner of war camps, which were forced to leave the camp to sprinkle salt water and fight man-eating dogs, it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out; A small number of Qin Jun's veterans also began to have typical symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea; All the changes are being staged in an orderly manner according to the trajectory predicted by Mr. Kang before.

In desperation, Wang Yi, who was temporarily in charge of commanding the whole army, could only announce that the whole army would pull out the camp and go straight to Woniucheng, three hundred miles away, for rest and recuperation without Chen Ziling's order; As for the twelve military medical officers led by Mr. Kang, they also disappeared without a trace after Chen Ziling left the camp......

Things have developed to this point, and Wang Yi was finally forced to choose a strong man to strangle his wrists and abandon all the soldiers of the Qin army who were infected with a vicious disease, so as to prevent the cholera virus from ravaging the whole army; But after a few days of delay, the number of people who have given up has increased by an unknown amount.

It is understandable that Chen Ziling, who was in command for the first time, did not realize the horror of cholera; And Wang Yi, who can understand the stakes, suffers a big loss from the constant interruption and the kindness of the woman. The mistakes made by novices are worthy of forgiveness, but Wang Yi's indecision is the most typical man-made disaster!

The words that the generals are incompetent and tired to death have nothing to do with benevolence or tyranny.

At the beginning of the Qin army's camp, due to the limitations of the terrain, the camp was built into a long serpentine shape. Therefore, after Mr. Kang discovered the spread of the plague, he immediately made a statement to Wang Yi and prompted him to change the layout of the entire camp.

The camp for wounded soldiers and prisoners of war was relocated to the forward camp closest to the battlefield; The elite veterans of the Northern Army were arranged in the camp of the Chinese army; As for the 150,000 reinforcements who finally rushed to the battlefield, the foundation was the cleanest, so they were temporarily arranged near the baggage camp.

Because they were the farthest away from the Hedong battlefield, and the distance between the front and rear battalions was too long, the water source was not shared; Therefore, the 150,000 reinforcements of the Second Route were also the least affected by the plague.

Hedong City is less than 300 miles away from Woniu Mountain; Even for the most ordinary cavalry, a trip back and forth is only a matter of hours. But now that the Qin army has set up camp, the material has been greatly dragged down, so the specific time cannot be measured according to the speed of the infantry or cavalry.

In order to prevent the main battle soldiers from contracting the plague, they are unable to continue to fight and kill the enemy; Therefore, Wang Yi was forced to mix the 150,000 new army with the remaining 35,000 healthy veterans of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and immediately set off for Woniucheng; And he and all the remaining auxiliary soldiers and civilians sorted out all the logistics baggage, and then followed the official road and slowly went to Woniu City.

This kind of marching strategy is a taboo from the perspective of soldiers. Although the auxiliaries are not completely incapacitated, they have the advantage of being outnumbered; But there are no elite veterans in the army who are not afraid of death to take the lead in the charge, if they really encounter an enemy attack, whether it is a wolf pack or a sheep flock, Wang Yi can only resign himself to fate.

However, the rapid spread of the plague is far more harmful than the Northern Yan Army, which is currently powerless to attack!

After suffering an indecisive loss, Wang Yi didn't think anything else. He took the 40,000 people and auxiliaries left behind by the Northern Army, and sorted out all the logistics overnight; In the early hours of this morning, they quietly left the old brothers, who were suffering from a terrible disease, in their carts and horses......

Wang Yi, who was very thoughtful, rode an old horse, followed by the close pursuit of two guards, and followed the advancing Taoist team and repeatedly inspected. In fact, it is no wonder that he is so careful, because this load of grain and forage, a truckload of ordnance parts, and daily application materials are all the dependence of hundreds of thousands of troops.

At present, he only led more than 40,000 people and auxiliary soldiers to escort this huge amount of supplies, and his swagger was no less than that of a three-year-old child, holding a golden ingot, and going alone to a relative's house three hundred miles away!

Whoever sees their batch of "soft persimmons" has to move their hearts!

The procession had been about fifty miles north, when a heavy sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance. It seems that such a group of horses are galloping, after Wang Yi heard this, his brows furrowed, and his heart immediately settled down! First of all, it's not going to be a bandit in the neighborhood, because they can't afford to buy so many horses!

It is true that there is indeed a cavalry establishment in the Northern Yan Army, but the 8,000 Tianyou cavalry have just been almost wiped out under the "close cooperation" of Zhou Chang'an; Therefore, the cavalry that can appear in the land of Sanjin now must be the black cavalry army responsible for completely clearing the grain road a few days ago!

The 8,000 black cavalry are heavy cavalry, and they are well-deserved kings of soldiers! With that unworthy Zhang Dianchen, plus a group of bandits and bandits who came out of nowhere, it may be possible to resist the iron hooves of the Black Cavalry!

Wang Yi, who was worried all the way, finally put his mind at ease. He wanted to meet the "triumphant" Black Cavalry, so he left the brigade with two escorts and galloped forward. As soon as he walked out of the five-mile road or so, he crossed a low slope, and the figure of the cavalry appeared in front of him.

Wang Yi is a little old, and coupled with the hard work he studied day and night in his early years, his eyes are not very helpful. Now he had come from west to east, and rode his horse on a low slope, and was dazzled by the summer sun and the gentle breeze; With tears in his eyes, he couldn't see people clearly:

“…… The old man's eyes are dazzled, you two look carefully, the person who fought the horse first, is it Wang Zhengling, the commander of the Black Cavalry? ”

One of the guards opened his eyes wide, looked at them carefully, and then said with hesitation:

"Mr. Wang, the sunlight is so dazzling that I can't see it very clearly...... Wrong...... Doesn't seem right! Our black cavalry should be a black horse and a black armor horse; But this group of cavalry is dressed in brown leather armor, and the horse breed is also a lot shorter......"

This group of cavalrymen who suddenly appeared was not an outsider, it was the menacing Zhou Chang'an's department! Their more than 700 cavalrymen, full of determination to avenge the shame and die generously, have just come out of Yanping County, and they haven't walked out for half an hour!

Now Wang Yi and the others are backlight, but Zhou Changan and the others are smooth sailing, and as soon as they raised their eyelids, they recognized Wang Yi who was wearing a wide robe and big sleeves and a scribe's crown!

Zhou Chang'an, who was sitting on a horse, saw the enemy who had a grudge in his heart, and suddenly fell from the sky, and he couldn't believe his eyes at all! But no matter how you look at it, Wang Yi is clearly riding a tall horse, standing on a low slope not far away, looking at himself eagerly!

And the most gratifying thing is that there are only two guards by his side!

In the face of this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, Zhou Changan thought that his body had just recovered, and he hallucinated, and almost strangled the horse's reins! And a lieutenant riding a horse behind him did not have as much emotion as Zhou Changan.

As soon as this person raised his eyelids, he saw Wang Yi on the low slope. Then he stepped on the stirrups with both feet, raised his hips slightly, and shook his waist slightly with the bumps of the horse's back; And his left arm had already raised a horse bow, and his right hand had two feathered arrows from the quiver......

Just listen to the "pop...... Whoosh", this person completed a full set of equestrian movements with a bow and archery in just a moment, which is really smooth! And Zhou Chang'an, who was in the lead, only felt that after a sound of a bowstring plucking in his ears, Wang Yi was the only one left of the three figures in his eyes......

"Zhou Shuai, the old rules on the battlefield, soldier to soldier, general to general, so this civilian official will be handed over to you! The brothers are watching the work! ”

Zhou Changan, who was shocked, turned around and saw a man who was not good-looking; He instructed himself in his mouth, but his eyes were still locked on Wang Yi who was not far away.

Zhou Changan grinned innocently, reached out and pulled out a horse chopping knife hanging on the side of the saddle, opened his mouth to shout at the horse, and shook the reins in his hand......

With the neighing of the war horse, Zhou Changan seemed to turn into an off-string arrow, and quickly killed the enemy of the Tianyou Cavalry - Wang Yi!

After two guards were hit by arrows at the same time and planted under their horses; No matter how bad Wang Yi's eyes were, he had already "guessed" that the other party was definitely not the Black Cavalry in his heart!

Wang Yi wanted to dismiss the horse's head and quickly fled back to his team; But he made a mistake in his busyness, and the way he shook the reins and the command of the horse were in trouble; This hysterical roar also succeeded in throwing the big food horse under his crotch and directly shouted stunned!

Just when Wang Yi rode his horse repeatedly and completed the third lap on the low slope; The perimeter wind, which is full of tears and murderous intentions, has already arrived!

"Poof!"

The war horse swept past Wang Yi's side at a rapid pace, and a fresh head flew high in the air!

Zhou Chang'an's left arm quickly reined in the reins of the horse, and the heart of the Mobei horse under his crotch immediately raised his front hooves high, turned out a half circle lightly, and successfully resolved the force of the forward rush; And Zhou Changan, who was riding on horseback, also happened to wave his hand to catch the head that fell from the sky!

Zhou Changan cut off Wang Yi's head with a knife, temporarily relieved the stuffiness that had accumulated in his chest for many days, and also felt an unprecedented pleasure!

This is the taste of revenge!
