Chapter 202: Epidemic Prevention on the Battlefield

After Wang Huaqiang pacified these people defending the city, when he looked outside the city, the battle was nearing the end, I don't know when, Huang Fu Ji's more than 1,000 elite soldiers who defended the Assassin Mansion were all killed, and they rushed to kill as much as they wanted, Shen Xue Shen Neng's more than 10,000 people were already rushed to pieces by the defeated soldiers, and then they were killed by the tigers and wolves in the city, and almost none escaped.

The remnants of the sun were like blood, the Sui army on the battlefield was cleaning the battlefield, gathering piles of corpses together, the small soldiers cut off the heads of the enemy they had killed as a reward, and the rebels who surrendered were all gathered together, sitting in a group of hundreds of people, bowing their heads and waiting for the unknown fate.

Wang Huaqiang saw that the smoke and dust in the distance had also stopped, and tens of thousands of Sui army ironclad cavalry were walking around the battlefield, under the banner of the word "Yang", Yang Su, who was in bright armor, was standing on his horse with a majestic face, and Huang Fuji followed his handsome banner, accompanied by dozens of personal guards, and rushed to Yang Su.

Wang Huaqiang knew that this battle was over, and took a cursory glance at the battlefield, the rebels ambushed more than 50,000 corpses, and the rest all surrendered, and there were rebels coming to attack from the west of the city, so it can be known that the rebels should also have ambushes in the east of the city, but just now Wang Huaqiang saw General Li's troops coming from the east of the city, and obviously did not join the rebel ambush in the east of the city.

Wang Huaqiang sighed and walked down the tower, now he is more concerned about the fate of Gu Ziyuan and his dog-headed military division, especially the dog-headed military division, there are endless poisonous tricks, if he is allowed to run away this time, there will be another disaster in the future.

Wang Huaqiang got on a horse. galloped out of the city gates. Walk to the suspension bridge of the moat. A bloody breath choked his eyebrows, and outside the city of Suzhou, a radius of more than ten miles, there were rivers of blood, and there were broken limbs and corpses everywhere, and many rebel prisoners had been instructed to dig some big pits outside the city, and some prisoners loaded the corpses of those who had been cut off to receive merit on carts, and transported them to these big pits for burial.

Quite a few hungry dogs with red eyes began to wander back and forth among the corpses. And a large number of crows also landed on some corpses and began to peck at them, and the stench and death smell of the battlefield was disgusting.

Wang Huaqiang didn't want to stay in this ghost place for long, he patted the horse's buttocks, ran directly, and soon, he ran to the place where Yang Su and Huangfuji and others were talking on the horse.

Yang Su and Huang Fuji were obviously in a good mood, and their laughter could be heard from afar, and the captain of the guard in charge of the perimeter guard knew Wang Huaqiang, and Yang Su had an order today. Seeing that Wang joined the army and wanted to bring it over immediately, the captain took Wang Huaqiang directly to a small dirt slope where Yang Su was.

Wang Huaqiang went downhill. gave a military salute to Yang Su: "Marshal, Wang Huaqiang, a Chinese soldier joining the army, will return to you!" As he spoke, he took out the military order that Yang Su had given him from his arms and handed it back to Yang Su.

Yang Su smiled and nodded, took the military order, and said: "Wang joined the army, you have made a great contribution this time, and this commander will definitely play the emperor and ask for credit for you." ”

Huangfu Ji also helped on the side: "Yue Guogong, this time thanks to the resourcefulness of Wang Senjun's army, the rebels were firmly nailed to this Suzhou city, and your subordinates are really elite soldiers, and Huangfu is envious." ”

Yang Su waved his hand: "Alas, Wang joined the army and was recommended by a high-ranking servant, and he was only temporarily seconded to me, how can Yang be virtuous, can there be such a handsome man as Wang joined the army!" By the way, Wang joined the army, the thief marshal Gu Ziyuan has been awarded the head, according to other captured rebel generals, he has a dog-headed military division under him, resourceful, most of Gu Ziyuan's poisonous plans this time are from this person's hands, do you know who this person's surname is, and where is he now? ”

Wang Huaqiang thought of the scribe dressed as a personal soldier, and sighed: "The last general also has a few connections with this person, but unfortunately I don't know who his surname is, but when I met him for the first time, although he pretended to be Gu Ziyuan's personal soldier, I could see at a glance that he was Gu Ziyuan's think tank, and today Gu Ziyuan's army was partially ambushed in the east of the city, as if he slipped away without entering the battle, it was expected that it should be the think tank that led the team, let him run away." ”

Li Ping, who was standing beside Huang Fuji, said: "Wang joined the army and said well, when the general opened the city at the end of today, I saw that there was a troop movement in the woods in the northeast direction, smoke and dust were everywhere, birds and beasts were walking, it seemed that there were 10,000 or 20,000 people, the last general had few soldiers, and there was easy ambush in the forest, so there was no rash pursuit, and then the enemy army withdrew, and the last general left some men and horses on guard, and the other main forces entered the central war to encircle and annihilate Gu Ziyuan's army.

Hearing Wang join the army and say this, it was indeed the last general's negligence, letting go of an enemy army, and being willing to accept the punishment. ”

Yang Su smiled and waved his hand: "Today's victory of our army, General Li has done a very good job, the enemy army is not from you, but the army that was ambushed in advance is intimidated by the military might of our army, and does not dare to engage in the battle and flee, the so-called general of the defeated army, can not be said to be brave, this enemy army has become a frightened bird, there is no need to worry, I am afraid that they will not escape from Songjiang, and most of them will be scattered, General Li can block the retreat of the remnants of Gu Ziyuan's army to the east, and there is no fault!"

Li Ping's heart fell to the ground with a stone, he also knew that Yang Su had always been strict in governing the army, and he really wanted to compare with himself, and he let go of the enemy's 20,000 ambush soldiers, this sin was enough to lose his head, and when he heard Yang Su say this in public, he turned his surprise into joy, and after thanking Yang Su, he stepped back and stood up.

Wang Huaqiang glanced at the battlefield and asked, "The last general has the courage to ask, where is the head of Gu Zi?" ”

Yang Su waved his hand, and a small soldier behind him brought over a head, his hair was scattered, and his face was covered with blood, it was Gu Ziyuan, the leader of the rebel army in Suzhou.

Wang Huaqiang took a closer look at the head, and then nodded: "Yes, it is Gu Ziyuan himself, how did he die?" ”

Yang Su smiled slightly: "This Gu Ziyuan began to organize his subordinates to resist, but it didn't take long for him to find that these rabble of his were difficult to stop my Great Sui Iron Cavalry, so he took the initiative to put down the handsome banner, changed into the clothes of a small soldier, and tried to slip away in the thief army, because the rebels have few horses, and the goal of his escape on horseback is too obvious, and it is impossible to escape."

It's just that people are not as good as heaven, the rebels want to live, and his personal guard named Zhu Xie, in order to save his life, took advantage of Gu Ziyuan's unpreparedness, beheaded him, and then held his head high and surrendered, and it was precisely because this person killed Gu Ziyuan first that the rebels collapsed so quickly. Wang joins the army, do you want to say that it's a pity that you can't ask the true identity of that military advisor from that Gu Ziyuan's mouth? ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Yes, this rebel uprising, as far as I know, many people use fake names in order to prevent harm to their families, and the real identity is only known to their respective leaders, that dog-headed military division is Gu Ziyuan's most trusted person, and when I negotiated, all the other rebel generals were sent away, leaving only this person, so I expect that only Gu Ziyuan knows the origin of this person, once this clue is broken, it will be difficult to find this military division again." ”

Yang Su waved his hand: "Nine times out of ten people in the world are unsatisfactory, our army has won a big victory today, and we can't force everything to be perfect, Wang joins the army, you should remember the first merit in this battle, come, let's go into the city and hold a banquet to celebrate." ”

Wang Huaqiang glanced back at the battlefield and frowned: "Dashuai, the last general thinks that the most important thing we should do now is probably not to enter the city to celebrate, but to step up cleaning up the battlefield, such a big battle today, forty or fifty thousand dead, one or two thousand wounded, and it is the height of summer, the weather is hot, if it is not handled properly, it is very easy to have a major epidemic, this is too close to Suzhou City, once there is a plague, I am afraid that even my army to conquer the south will lose its combat effectiveness." ”

Yang Su's face changed: "Hua Qiang, is there an inevitable connection between this plague and the weather and corpses?" ”

Wang Huaqiang sighed in his heart, although Yang Su, the prince of Yueguo, used soldiers like a god and learned to be rich and rich, but after all, he had no knowledge of later generations, and he knew nothing about viruses, infections and bacteriology, and it was impossible for him to explain these to him.

So Wang Huaqiang laughed: "Yue Guogong, this is also what I mentioned in an anonymous ancient book I used to read, saying that the reason why the ancient famous generals wanted to kill the prisoners and bury the corpses quickly was because the corpses would have corpse poison, corpse water, and corpse worms, these are the sources of epidemics, and corpses are more likely to decay in summer, which will accelerate the spread of epidemics, so don't be careless."
