"My lord, something is wrong!! Yugris ran over in a panic, looking like something big was happening. Even if the login was blocked, or the camp was destroyed, he had never been so panicked. Even the Roman soldiers who stood in his way were pushed aside by him, causing a few people to complain.

"Panicked, what a system! Remember, you are the lieutenant general of this legion, and tens of thousands of people will be affected by your emotions. Stirrico was unhappy with Ugris's performance at this point, but if it wasn't for something particularly important, Jugris wouldn't have been so flustered.

"What the hell is going on? Didn't we get into the nearby village to rest? Stilico asked, he needed to know what was going on.

The southern part of Britain is rarely inhabited near the coast due to years of war. Even the southern plains were just regaining their vitality and popularity in peace when King Arthur expelled the invading Saxons. So, with great difficulty, the Romans found a larger village.

As they had already learned of the invasion of the Roman legions, the people living in the south responded to Artoria's call to move to the north. The crops were also exhausted, and the Romans could not afford to consider the problem of obtaining food on the spot, at least not until the British fortress was breached.

This is the trick often used by the defending side of ancient wars, the wall is clear. To make matters worse, the thatch above the village houses was burned before the villagers left, and the Romans were able to live here without any problems, so they quickly harvested the thatch and pasted it with mud. Barely able to live in, the Roman soldiers were crammed into small rooms to sleep.

It was already night, and apart from the soldiers on duty, only Stirico's camp was still lit. Here the generals of the Roman side are intensively preparing for tomorrow's attack. The Romans would not have been able to gain a real foothold in the south unless the British fortress in the south was not captured as soon as possible. These improvised villages alone could not accommodate Roman soldiers, and were too rudimentary. Only a quick capture of the British's dense castles in the south would not stop the Romans.

"My lord, very bad news, hundreds of soldiers have vomited and even diarrhea just now." Yugris reported the situation: "I wonder if the insidious Celtic barbarians have poisoned the water. The soldiers' companions can testify that they drank water from the village well in the evening. ”

Yuglis's suspicions were not unreasonable, and once such a thing happened, the water in the well would be undrinkable. The nearest source of water is a small river near the British fort. If there was a problem with the village's water supply, the Romans had to risk the arrows that Celtic archers could shoot at any moment to get water.

The supply lines of the Romans were very difficult to transport grain and grass from the sea, and it is estimated that they did not have the spare capacity to transport fresh water.

"I think it could be more serious, take me there." Stillico frowned, ignoring the arguing generals around him, and went with Yugris to check the well.

There were already a lot of soldiers around the well, probably because Yugris was worried that the unknown soldiers would come to fetch water again, so he stayed here to guard them. Seeing that Stirrico was coming under the leadership of Yugris, the soldiers tacitly moved out of the way.

"Look, my lord!" As he spoke, Yugris took a torch from one of the soldiers beside him and peered forward to check the well. The well is still quite clear, and it is impossible to tell if it has been poisoned. Only, Stirico seemed to hear the sound of flies flying, which was evident in the silent night.

Stirrico patted Yugris, pointed to the place where the voice came from, and instructed, "Look carefully at the place where the flies gather." ”

As the light of the fire continued, Stirrico's eyes became more and more close. Doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with that............ Wait, what's that whitish object! Stirrico noticed something was wrong. The firelight lit up and it turned out to be a dead pig blistered white, and a pair of flies buzzing around.

"It's so ruthless!" Stirrico exclaimed, no wonder there were soldiers who had an adverse reaction. The Britons put slaughtered cattle in the water of the evacuated villages, intending to let the plague drag down the Romans.

Dead corpses produce plague, because the gas and liquid produced after biological decay carry a large number of toxic substances, and also carry a huge number of pathogenic bacteria, such as Gram, dental cospora and other highly lethal bacteria will exist. After the corpse is liquefied, toxic substances and a large number of pathogenic bacteria will seep into the aquifer or spread to the air with the corpse water, polluting the water source and the atmosphere of the disaster area. At the same time, flies and other organisms attracted when the corpse is decomposed, can also carry a large number of pathogenic bacteria to spread around.

Historically, there is another theory for Huo Quzhi's death. In order to take revenge on Huo Quai, the Huns sent people to sprinkle the seeds of the plague in the water source of Huo Quai's army, and they discarded the cattle and sheep of the plague to pollute the water source. Huo Quai's army passed by and ate the polluted water, and many soldiers contracted the disease, and the hussar general Huo Qubing also contracted the disease. Huo Qu died shortly after returning to Chang'an.

On the British side, Mordred was the one in charge of the relocation of the people, and when he saw that some of the domestic animals could not be taken away, Mordred took charge of the slaughter and threw them into the water source. Unexpectedly, it really worked.

"Tell the order to go down and block the polluted water source. Dig other wells on the spot, and the rest of the water will be far away. Stirico said decisively.

"And what about the soldiers who accidentally drank the water from the well?" Yugris asked. If these soldiers are left alone, it will definitely be a big trouble.

"Dispose of it secretly, burn and bury it in the distance, don't leave any trouble!" Stirico made a wise choice, the plague was almost helpless at this time. If you don't deal with it quickly, hundreds of people will die when the plague spreads.
