The difficulty of marching in the Daque Mountain was far beyond Yang Yi's expectations, and even if he had made sufficient preparations, the prestige of the Death Demon Domain would not disappoint the world.

There was a smell of rot in the humid air, which was disgusting. The shoes were always wet, and within two days of entering the mountain, everyone's feet had already broken their skin, and because of the dampness, they began to fester, and the itchy people were eager to poke them with knives.

Every time they arrived at a supply point, the soldiers would immediately find a place to sit down and take off their shoes to let their festering feet breathe, but Yang Yi ordered that no one should pick their feet, and once infected, they would stop thinking about walking.

Yang Yi pinched his nose and opened the iron bull that took off his shoes, the big feet of this wild cow were surprisingly smelly, and after only sitting next to Yang Yi for a while, Yang Yi felt that it was a little difficult to breathe.

Monkey Jian'er brought Yang Yi a bowl of boiling water with his hands and feet, Yang Yi drank it in one gulp, wiped the water stains on the side of his mouth, and scolded: "Damn, this road is too difficult to walk." ”

There are no roads in the primeval forest, and wherever people go, there is a road. Yang Yi and others are still in the rear army, and the road on the ground has been trampled by 10,000 or 20,000 people in front of them, but it is still difficult to walk.

Thankfully, both difficult roads and athlete's foot are problems that can be overcome.

For the army marching long distances in the field, the most terrible thing is the epidemic, once a large-scale epidemic breaks out, the million-strong army can be wiped out in a blink of an eye, and Da Luo Jinxian can't save it.

The biggest breeding points of epidemics are water and mosquitoes, these two things are absolutely astonishing and absolutely devastating, one is necessary for people to use, the other is difficult for people to guard against, and the slightest carelessness is a catastrophe.

The problem of mosquitoes is relatively easy to solve, and sulfur powder and sulfur paste are very useful things, which is one of the most primitive insecticides. However, the water source really made Yang Yi distressed for a long time, and the biggest task of Hu Shou and Dong Yuan's advance team entering Daque Mountain in advance was to find a safe water source for the army to drink.

Fortunately, when Dong Yuan and the refugees from Qianzhou Prefecture crossed the Daque Mountain before, they found several safe water sources, and after repeated confirmation by Hu Shou and others, it was determined that several of them were still edible.

Yang Yi took the march map drawn by Hu Shou and others from Monkey Jian'er's hand, and the map was very detailed, even a small stream and a small valley were accurately marked. In addition, there are more than a dozen circles drawn on the map, most of which are black, and only six or seven are marked in red.

These circles represent the existence of a water source, black indicates inedible, and when passing through the black dots, the officers and generals of the army will strictly warn the soldiers not to touch the water, even if it looks cool. Only the red water points are absolutely safe, and these are also the places that Shamanagu believes can be stopped for repairs.

At this time, the army has reached the center of the map, which means that the road has been halfway and the army has also come to the deepest part of Daque Mountain.

Yang Yi pointed to the map and said, "Go and tell Shama Nagu that after leaving here, it will take three days to reach the next supply point, and it is important to let the sergeants bring enough water and food." ”

The herald was ordered to leave, Yang Yi closed the map, and asked, "How are our casualties now?" ”

Monkey Jian'er said: "General Naigu only made statistics at noon, since we entered Daque Mountain for more than ten days, a total of 372 people have been reduced, more than half of them are sick because they are not adapted to the environment, and the others have been attacked by wild beasts, bitten by poisonous snakes, and injured by falls. ”

Yang Yi nodded, for an army of more than 20,000 people, such casualties are already very gratifying, and the most important thing is that the morale of the soldiers is still relatively high, and after gradually adapting, the fear of the Death Demon Domain has been basically eliminated.

Monkey Jian'er hesitated, and said: "But we encountered a lot of corpses of refugees from Qianzhou on the way, and I also went to see them, it was very tragic..."

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, behind the seemingly bland sentence of "very tragic", there was a hoarse wail of tens of thousands of refugees.

After seeing the power of Daque Mountain, Yang Yi can fully imagine how the group of refugees moved forward in this barren forest, and previously thought that it was a very cruel thing for tens of thousands of refugees to survive only two or three thousand people, but now Yang Yi thinks that those two or three thousand people must have been favored by the mountain god to be lucky to get out alive.

And the people who died, the despair they experienced, I am afraid no one can imagine.

Yang Yi sighed and said, "Tell the sergeants that if you encounter the corpses of refugees, bury them properly." ”

It is always a cruel thing to die without a place to be buried, most of the time wild beasts will not eat those dead corpses, only maggots will like to attach to it, breeding diseases, and the probability of polluting water sources is also very large.

"Immortal Sect..."Yang Yi looked at the misty mountains and forests in the distance, and said softly, with a hint of indifference in his eyes.

Monkey Jian'er shuddered, and secretly said in his heart: The people of the Immortal Sect are going to be unlucky.

There are many kinds of rulers in this world, and there are many forms of governance, and Yang Yi, as a modern person, is not opposed to the existence of religious states. However, the Immortal Sect has already departed from the sanity of a ruling power by forcing people to death in this way.

In agrarian countries, the peasants are actually a very docile ethnic group, and most of the time they are content with the destiny of heaven, preferring to blame God for their miserable fate rather than being too willing to consider who is wrong.

It is only when they are desperate that they ask for an explanation from their superiors, and although it may seem rude, it is actually a choice made after a great deal of tolerance.

For the rulers, rebellion is undoubtedly the greatest crime, but for the people, rebellion is also their most helpless choice, which comes from the last cry of an unjust fate.

The army continued to move forward, and the further it went, the more corpses of the refugees were seen.

It is not difficult to understand that tens of thousands of refugees were at a loss when they first entered the Daque Mountain, and they didn't even know how to move forward on the layers of dead leaves.

In the evening of the sixteenth day of entering Daque Mountain, the army that was marching forward suddenly stopped.

Yang Yi, who was walking in the rear army, was a little worried, because they had not investigated the road in front of them, and they were moving forward completely based on the memories of Dong Yuan and other refugees from Qianzhou, and suddenly stopped, I am afraid that the front army encountered some unexpected situation.

Sure enough, in just half a pillar of incense, the herald from the front rushed to the rear and brought Shamanaigu's order: "The enemy has been found ahead, everyone is ready to fight!" ”
