Chapter 687: Response
Li Ru hurried out of the tent, and as soon as he lifted the curtain, he smelled the stench of the wind blowing in. That smell of, the thick smell of, as soon as he smelled it, his face couldn't help but change.
This is a smell that can only be smelled near the thatched pit, but the kind of thatched pit is piled up by I don't know how many people and how much time it takes. But now, in the midst of the camp that had been built, a clearing in the woods, and the wind that kept blowing, turned into a foul-smelling place.
I can't imagine.
"When did it become like this?" Li Ru asked the cavalry who came to report the news.
"Just now, just now." The cavalry hurriedly replied, his face full of joy.
It wasn't schadenfreude, he just felt extremely lucky that he didn't get confused like the rest of his companions. He had heard the continuous sound of fart, and he had seen the backs of those squatting behind the bushes, but he didn't see anyone getting up, but the smell of the wind blowing in him was getting heavier and heavier.
Poisoned, this must have been poisoned. Li Ru can confirm this, but what is very strange to him is that he has carefully explained the part of the cavalry that obviously takes water, and he has also seen the river that takes water, it is flowing living water, why he is still hit, he is very puzzled and extremely confused.
This is not the key, this question can be left for later and slowly thought about, the key now is, what about the casualties? Since the enemy can poison him, he will definitely not spare his hands, and what kind of casualties will occur in the army is the question he should be most concerned about. After all, things have already happened, and it is useless to think about how things happened, and we must quickly find ways to deal with them and remedy them.
"Strategist... There were no casualties. The horseman's face became a little strange, as if he was constipated, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know why he didn't say it.
"No casualties? How so? Li Ru became more and more strange, he turned his head, and only then did he notice the strangeness on the face of the cavalry.
"Tell me everything you know!"
After speaking, Li Ru felt that the whole person was a little out of breath As a scribe, he also likes clean places, and the same is true for ordinary people. How can a normal person stand next to the pit for a long time when there is nothing to do, and smell the filth coming out of the pit? At most, when you need to, go to the latrine and then leave quickly.
The current camp, in the smell that filled Li Ru's nose, was undoubtedly the big latrine. That kind of smell is still very fresh, but the fresh one will make people want to gag more and more, fluttering in the wind, with a hint of warmth?
Li Ru hurriedly covered his nose with his sleeve, and after filtering, the smell was no longer so strong, so he was relieved and breathed heavily. If it weren't for the fact that he was in the camp now, he belonged to the people who had to come forward, Li Ru really didn't want to stay here for a moment.
If there is another reason, it is too smelly and spicy to the eyes.
Just after glancing around, he saw many cavalrymen with distorted expressions sitting on the ground, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and his strength was weak. With a long fart sound, a relaxed expression appeared on the face of the cavalryman, but then it tightened again, and the expression became solemn again.
Looking at the water trails and the wet soil under them, Li Ru already vaguely understood something. Fortunately, he has strong concentration, otherwise he would have vomited out under the triple stimulation of sight, smell, and hearing of his eyes, nose, and ears.
Li Ru didn't wait for an answer for a long time, and saw the expression of the cavalry next to him, and reprimanded: "Twist and pinch, say it quickly!" ”
"Yes." Only then did the cavalryman clench his fists, take a deep breath, and halfway through the inhalation, he quickly slowed down his breathing. This breath really made him feel like he wanted to die, it stinks, it stinks, the smell is everywhere, and he feels that he also has a smell of on his body.
"There were no casualties in the army, it's... It's just..."
"What's it?" Li Ru didn't know what was going on with the embarrassed expression on the cavalry's face.
"But there are many brothers who vomit up and down, and have no strength anymore, and they cannot even stand firmly. There are still some brothers who have not returned to the camp until now, and are still staying in the woods, and they do not know when they will be able to return, and how much combat strength they still have. After speaking in one breath, while Li Ru turned his head, the cavalryman covered his mouth and nose with his palm, and then he felt much better.
"Spitting up and down?" Li Ru was chattering, still very confused. If it's just a laxative, then laxatives are a matter of course, but what's the deal with vomiting?
He was about to ask the cavalryman again, and when he was about to speak, his eyes caught a glimpse of the horseman's expression, and he thought thoughtfully. Spit out because of the smell, right?
Standing in the camp tent some distance away from those cavalry, Li Ru had an urge to vomit when he smelled the stench, and the restlessness in his throat from the beginning had finally subsided. He's like this, not to mention the cavalrymen who are in it, smelling that stench, it's so close, how many people will not vomit?
What you see, hear, and experience will have an impact on your body, allowing your body to react naturally.
Seeing this scene, Li Ru felt that it was so absurd. It turned out that the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, which had won a hundred battles in Liangzhou and made many Qiang tribes frightened, did not fall in the flesh and blood battlefield, but silently became what it is now. If the enemy saw this scene, I don't know how to feel, and the enemies who died under the iron lance.
His eyes were glazed and his face was pale, like a shell that had lost his soul. In addition, I don't know how long it has been pulled, and how long it will take, whether it is the cavalry sitting in the camp or in the woods, I don't know how much strength is left in the end.
Li Ru also once had a stomach, this is human nature, there is nothing funny. The taste of diarrhea is very uncomfortable. Especially when you have just come out of the latrine, feeling very comfortable and complacent, the feeling that something is about to erupt out is like a shadow, which makes you tense and hurriedly run to the latrine again at a fast speed, and have a good time.
Once it's exhilarating, then when the number of times gradually accumulates, it becomes a second, a third, and more often, it's a torture, a cruel torture. The whole body will lose strength, the lips will be dry, the complexion will be dull, the eyes will be dull, and every step will seem to be floating, step by step.
He had experienced it, so he knew very well that after a series of tortures, basically the whole person collapsed and could no longer accomplish anything.
After that, when he returned to the room where he usually managed the paperwork, he picked up the pen again, and his hands were constantly shaking, and so was the brush, and he could not write a word. I barely wrote it, the words were extremely ugly, and the ink was splashed so that there were countless ink spots on the paperwork.
He was able to write with a pen, not to mention the cavalrymen, who were going to fight, to fight the enemy. If there is an enemy to kill now, Li Ruzhen doesn't know how powerful these elite cavalry can show to kill the enemy back.
He will not be blindly confident, no matter how elite the cavalry is, they are still people, and everyone has weaknesses that cannot be resisted. In more down-to-earth words, if there is any invincible victorious general, it is Xiang Yu, if he pulls through before going to the battlefield and goes to the battlefield, he will also be cut off by someone.
It's not Li Ru's delusion, it's really like this. In this situation, if the enemy kills him, basically most of the cavalry has no way to resist, and it can resist only a weak resistance, and it is inevitable to be killed.
"How many battle-ready cavalry are there in the army?" Li Ru asked.
"There are still five or six hundred people, not counting scouts, so to be specific, there should be more than eight hundred people." The cavalryman hurriedly replied that he could not give an exact number either.
"More than 800 people?" Li Ru groaned.
Fortunately, there are more than 800 people, which is a little better than he expected, and it is better if the whole army is not wiped out. If there are 800 or so, when an enemy comes, he will be able to have the strength to contend with it.
It's just that Li Ru suddenly thought of a crucial question, and it was unforgivable that he would omit this key!
He hurriedly asked, "What about the war horse?" ”
"In the case of war horses, there are hundreds of them foaming at the mouth, but there shouldn't be any major problems, and it should be fine after a while." The cavalry thought for a moment and replied.
Li Ru was completely relieved, which is more important, cavalry or war horses? He can give an answer, all of them are important, to be honest, it should be the most important thing about the war horse. Good cavalry, no good war horses, war horses can not only carry the cavalry into battle, but also lead people to escape at critical moments.
It can be said that there is no problem with the current situation of the cavalry. As long as the war horses are fine, as long as these cavalrymen still have the strength to climb on the war horses, let them climb on the war horses, and let the war horses run, the enemy will basically not be able to catch up.
This camp is no longer available, it has been discovered by the enemy, and another camp needs to be found. At the same time, more scouts need to be sent to guard the various places, and it is necessary not to let this situation happen again.
"Then give the order to go down and move the camp at once. In addition, I don't need to know anything about the scouts sent out, but if there are people, I definitely can't give him a chance to get close! ”
"In addition, send another team of scouts to General Xu and order him to march a little faster." Li Ru's eyes were cold.
"Yes!" The cavalry clenched their fists, quickly left, and went to convey Li Ru's military order.
Li Ru put down his hand, the smell was finally no longer so stinky, and he felt a little better. People can adapt to a certain environment, and the same is true for welcoming cold arrows from the underworld.
Since those guys in the secret are still delaying their departure, then don't blame him for being polite! Because, this time, the initiative is in his hands!
