Due to the change of route, the Han army walked through the jungle for more than ten days, and still did not get out of the jungle.

Before entering the forest, the dry food and water carried by the soldiers had gone from ten pavilions to nine pavilions, and many Han soldiers had even run out of water and dry food.

I didn't see any miasma for days, but the humidity in the jungle was very moderate, and even the air was filled with a damp heat.

Many soldiers could not stand the scorching heat, took off their clothes and armor, and followed the team, moving forward weakly.

The Han army has been on the battlefield for many years, and the morale of the soldiers has always been high, and there has never been a time when they are as depressed as they are now.

Riding a war horse, Zhuge Jun couldn't stand the hot air in the forest, so he took off his armor and hung it on horseback.

As he walked forward, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, looked ahead, and asked the guide walking beside him: "How much time is there to leave the forest?" ”

Although he grew up on the border of the Southern Barbarians, the guide has entered the jungle countless times, but every time he enters the jungle, the distance he walks is the shortest trip, and he has never followed the Han army around the road.

"Three or four days to go!" Looking up at the canopy of the tree, the guide said to Zhuge Jun: "General, we have traveled a long way, and it stands to reason that we can get out of the forest today......

Knowing that the detour was because the soldiers were afraid of many things in the mountains and forests that they had never seen, Zhuge Jun didn't say much, but he waved his hand to the guide and didn't ask any more questions.

"Water! Water! As he was walking, there was a sudden cheer of Han soldiers in front of him, and Zhuge Jun saw many Han soldiers running towards the front quickly.

"Don't drink water!" The Han army in front shouted that there was water, and the Han army behind immediately wanted to follow, but the guide was startled and hurriedly shouted.

After all, he was just a guide, and the soldiers of the Han army, who were already extremely thirsty, would heed his shouts and still swarm towards the water source.

Hearing the shouts of the guide, Zhuge couldn't stop the soldiers rushing forward, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't go to drink!" ”

His voice was obviously more useful than the guide's shouting, and many of the Han soldiers in front of him stopped, and the Han soldiers behind did not dare to continue to move forward.

"Let's go! Take a look! Stopping the pace of the army, Zhuge Jun shook the reins and gave an order to the soldiers and guides behind him.

A group of pro-soldiers surrounded him and his guide, and ran quickly towards the front.

They hadn't gone far when they heard the sound of gurgling water in front of them.

Hearing the sound of flowing water, the guide's face was already pale, and he said to Zhuge Jun: "General, it's not good, there is a poisonous spring ahead!" ”

"How do you know it's a poisonous spring?" While walking quickly, Zhuge Jun asked.

"The water flows gently, but there is a spring flowing through the forest!" Following him, the guide explained: "The fallen leaves in the forest have accumulated for many years, and there are many toxins under the leaves, and the mountain spring flows through the ground, and all the toxins enter the water. ”

Hearing the guide's explanation, Zhuge Jun hurriedly shouted: "Pass the order, no one is allowed to drink water!" ”

His order was not too late, but for the soldiers of the Han army at the front, it was still too late after all.

The elephants were driven to the water's edge, and the elephants waved their long noses and said nothing to drink the clear spring water.

When the elephant soldiers on the back of the elephant saw that the elephant refused to drink, they were busy driving the elephant to the water's edge, and no one had time to drink it.

Next to the war elephants, many soldiers of the Han army have rushed to the mountain spring, picking up the spring water and pouring it non-stop.

Seeing that many soldiers had already begun to drink water, Zhuge Jun rushed over on horseback, waving his horse whip, and he didn't care that the Han army had a rule that generals could not whip soldiers, and they pumped violently towards the soldiers who were drinking water.

"Don't drink! No drinking! He shouted and cursed as he whipped the soldiers.

Many Han soldiers had just taken two sips, and under Zhuge Jun's whipping, they stopped and continued to drink, looking at the clear spring water one by one, but their eyes were still full of reluctance.

More Han troops, because they were far away from Zhuge Jun, although they were afraid of the general's might, but they couldn't restrain their thirst, they still lay on the water's edge and poured it violently.

The soldiers who followed behind Zhuge Jun, although they were also unbearable and thirsty, the general ordered that they were not allowed to drink water, and when they heard the words of the guide, they also hurriedly followed behind Zhuge Jun and drove the Han soldiers who had run to the edge of the spring.

Patches of Han troops were driven away from the springs, and as they retreated, a group of Han troops poured up from behind.

These Han troops who came up from behind did not rush to the spring to drink water like the previous ones, but set up a human wall in front of the Han army by the spring.

The drinking water had been drunk, and the lips of many Han soldiers were chapped, but they did not look back at the clear spring water.

It has been a long time since Zhuge Jun left Luoyang, and the soldiers of the Han army have also won successive battles under his leadership, and most of them are convinced of this general from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhuge was able to wield a horsewhip to whip the Han army to drink water, so that the soldiers behind them discovered the severity of the situation, and it was impossible for them to lie down to the water's edge like the people in front of them to pour the clear mountain spring.

"Uh......" Many of the Han soldiers who were stopped drank a mountain spring to their heart's content, and their thirst was dispelled by the spring water, but they didn't feel comfortable for long, and they felt a sharp pain in their stomachs, and many of them stood for a short time, then let out a low moan, and fell to the ground.

Quickly running to the side of a fallen Han soldier, the guide rolled his eyelids, looked at his pupils, and shook his head back at Zhuge Jun.

Seeing the guide's expression, Zhuge Jun felt as uncomfortable as being strangled.

led the army into the mountains and forests, in order to crusade against the barbarians, but unexpectedly, before the army got out of this forest, someone was actually knocked down by the poisonous spring!

More and more Han soldiers fell, and those who fell at first, because they drank too much, they foamed at the mouth after too much, and then they fell, and they drank not a lot of spring water, and after they fell to the ground, they endured the severe pain in their stomachs one by one, rolling and moaning on the thick dead leaves in the forest.

"Is there a way to heal?" Seeing the fallen soldiers rolling in pain, Zhuge Jun hurriedly asked the guide.

Squatting beside a fallen Han soldier, the guide shook his head, and said with a sad face: "I have already reminded them just now, don't drink water......"

"Is there really no cure?" The incident has happened, and Zhuge Jun's greatest concern is not whether the guide had reminded the soldiers of the Han army earlier, but whether there is a way to save the soldiers, and asked again.

"There is no cure!" Shaking his head, the guide said with a painful face: "Jiang Jun can prepare for the aftermath for the soldiers......

The soldiers of the Han army who rushed to the spring to drink water were five or six hundred, to say the least.

When he entered the forest earlier, he encountered miasma, although more than 100 Han soldiers were also attacked by miasma, but the guide found herbs to suppress miasma.

In the mountains and forests, there are countless toxins, and there are certainly not a few medicinal materials that contain toxins.

Traveling through the mountains and forests all the year round, the guide is no stranger to these medicinal materials, since he said that there is no medicine to cure the toxins of the poisonous spring, Zhuge can do it, just choose to watch the soldiers being poisoned alive.

The soldiers of the Han army who fell to the ground gradually lost their breath, and many more were moaning in pain, and some even began to vomit.

The scene was chaotic, the forest was filled with the unpleasant smell of vomit, and the soldiers standing nearby, seeing their Tongze so uncomfortable, did not avoid the unpleasant smell of vomit, but looked at the Han soldiers who fell to the ground with worried faces.

It was only at this time that the soldiers understood why Zhuge Jun was so angry that he waved his horsewhip and whipped those soldiers who drank water.

Riding on horseback, watching the Han soldiers who fell to the ground one by one cut off their breath, Zhuge Jun had no way.

He slowly closed his eyes, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and two lines of cloudy tears rolled down his cheeks.

Zhuge Jun took the lead in shedding tears, and the soldiers of the Han army standing on the side couldn't hold back their emotions one by one, and some even sobbed.

Conquering the battlefield, they watched Tongze fall countless times on the battlefield.

But that's fighting the enemy!

But there is a fight, there must be a loss, in the killing on the battlefield, the soldiers were stirred by a blood, they have ignored death, and they will not feel too much sadness in the expedition.

But at the moment, there were no enemy troops, and the soldiers were still walking through the mountains and forests.

Tong Ze, who died in front of them, did not die on the battlefield of shouting and killing, but because of unbearable thirst, he fell after drinking the clear mountain spring.

Just to take a sip of water, they paid with their lives.

The price was too heavy, too heavy for all the Han troops who entered the forest to bear!

All the Han soldiers who drank the mountain spring fell down one by one, four or five hundred people fell on the ground full of fallen leaves, the dead had stopped breathing and lay quietly, and those who had not died were still rolling and moaning, waiting for death to come.

They were surrounded by Tong Ze, who had lived and died together, but none of them could give them any help.

The soldiers of the Han army who surrounded them could only watch them die and become cold corpses.

Zhuge Jun on horseback finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted to the guide: "You want to think of ideas!" ”

"Unthinkable!" Although he already knew the answer in his heart, hearing the guide's answer, Zhuge Jun still felt his heart twitch for a while.

As a general, he actually led the soldiers into this mountain forest full of death, and these fallen soldiers may only be the first group to die on this journey, and the next three days will be the moment when they will face the most severe test!
