Chapter 233 The end of the hero
Smoke was rising from the sky above the Mutual Aid Medical Center, and it continued to stop for more than one day for a month. Only a few people know that the smoke was produced by burning corpses.
"Miss Tang, Miss Tang has finally become" Zhang Han ran to Huo Tang with an excited face, and the person was still under the cloister and shouted excitedly.
"It's done? Is the antidote made? Hearing this, Huo Tang hurriedly walked out of the house, she has been living in the Mutual Aid Medical Center these days, and she is constantly staring.
Zhang Han trotted all the way and said a little breathlessly: "It has been confirmed just now, and the effect on this plague is obvious." Patients with mild symptoms can recover within a few hours, and those with severe symptoms can also contain the disease, and as long as they persist in taking medication for a few days, they can be completely cured. ”
"Okay, prepare immediately, come and prepare horses, I'm going to Qianwei." Huo Tang hurriedly instructed the maid beside him, three days after sending the messenger to Qianwei, Huo Tang actually went to Qianwei County in person after waiting for the plague antidote to be developed.
Outside Longdi Pass, Du Song Ruozan and Mangbu Luo Zhi will stare into the distance every day, and the gate of Longdi Pass is still wide open, but the Qiang people have not taken a step forward.
"Captain Wang, you said that no new cattle and sheep have been sent by the Qiang people in the past seven days?" In the Han military camp, Dongfang Shuo frowned and asked Captain Wang.
"Yes, our people have long figured out their rules, and usually in about five days, thousands of cattle and sheep will be rushed by the Qiang people, and these are their food. Originally, there should have been another batch of cattle and sheep to the Qiang camp seven days ago, but I haven't seen it, and there should have been a batch of cattle and sheep two days ago. "Captain Wang is also quite appreciated by Dongfang Shuo now, and many things are arranged for him to do.
"So Hou Ye should have succeeded. So how long can their remaining cattle and sheep last? Dongfang Shuo's face showed a hint of joy, but then he asked with some concern.
"It should only be enough for them for six or seven days." Wang Xiaowei has long figured out the habits of the Qiang people, and can judge the daily consumption of the Qiang people from the daily decrease in the number of cattle and sheep.
"Oops, the whole army is ordered to form a formation, I'm afraid we have to fight to the death." Dongfang Shuo's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly ordered.
Then he didn't care about the army in the camp, and ran directly towards the Guanlou alone. Captain Wang didn't know why, but he still followed behind Dongfang Shuo with a few personal soldiers, this is the battlefield Dongfang Shuo is the main general, no matter what the situation, Captain Wang has the duty to protect him.
Dongfang Shuo climbed the gate tower of Longdi Pass again after more than a month. Sure enough, when he looked at the Qiang camp from afar, he saw that the Qiang army had been assembled, and they were pouring out of the nest towards Longdi Pass.
"Da Lun, are you saying that something happened on the grassland? Then Cangyang will be fine, right? Mangbroch rode beside Dusong Ruozan and asked with some concern.
"How many times have I told you, Cangyang is our king, and you, as a general, have to call him king." Instead of replying to Mangbroch immediately, Dusong Jozan corrected his misnomer.
When Du Song Ruozan met Cangyang Liangyuan and Mangburozhi, Cangyang Liangyuan was only the son of a small tribe leader at that time, and Mangbrozhi was only Cangyang Liangyuan's followers, both of them were only eleven or twelve years old, and Du Song Ruozan was already sixteen or seventeen years old at that time.
Later, Du Song Ruozan went to Shu County to learn the cultural knowledge of the Han people, and when he returned to the Qiang grassland again, Cangyang Liangyuan and Mangburozhi were also adults, so the three of them led the weak tribe to slowly dominate the grassland.
The three of them have a very deep relationship, but after Dusong Ruozan created the Qiang system, the requirements for the symmetry and other aspects are also extremely strict, in his opinion, only a regime can establish a supreme king, so that the entire ethnic group and the regime can have cohesion, and Cangyang Liangyuan is the king of the Qiang people.
"I don't know who is behind us, but the cattle and sheep have not been delivered for several days, and it is certain that something has happened to the grassland at this time, but the location of Stone Town is hidden, and it is impossible for the Han people to find it." Du Song Ruozan's expression was a little grim, but he didn't believe that there would be any accidents in the Qiang people's royal city.
"Then we're going to fight the Han people now?" Mang Brozhi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he and Kura Ryohara were closer than brothers, as long as Kurao Ryohara was fine, he had no scruples.
The thought of a possible decisive battle with the Han made him even more excited.
Seeing that the Qiang people were about to arrive outside the Guan Tower, Dongfang Shuo suddenly ordered his subordinates to plant the flag on the Guan Lou again.
"Huh? What's going on? Du Song Ruozan was about to answer Mangbroch, but he saw that the Guan Tower was suddenly full of flags.
The flag fluttered on the upper floor, but the door downstairs was still wide open, and there was no Han army in sight.
Du Song Ruozan stretched out his hand and motioned for the team to stop. The tens of thousands of troops that were originally rolling with iron hooves stopped abruptly in an instant, standing in front of Maguan Tower.
"In the Lower Han Hanoi County, Taishou Dongfang Shuo, I have seen His Excellency Da Lun!" Above the gate, Dongfang Shuo was hunting in robes, and shouted loudly at Du Song Ruozan.
"Dongfang Shuo? Your Excellency is not Huo Guang? Du Song Ruozan felt that he seemed to have heard the name Dongfang Shuo, but he didn't know what specific impression he had, he was more curious why it wasn't Huo Guang who was on the upper floor?
Although Dongfang Shuo is also famous, it is not famous in the world after all, and it is all praised
"Under the order of the marquis, I am here to greet Da Lun, and I have been lazy in entertaining for more than a month, and I hope that Da Lun will forgive his sins." Dongfang Shuo stood on top of the Guan Tower and shouted from afar, his tone humble and polite.
"What do you say? Huo Guang is not here? Du Song Ruozan's expression changed drastically, and the bad premonition became more and more obvious.
Dongfang Shuo looked at the change in Du Song Ruozan's expression, and then stepped up and said: "There is a saying that comes and doesn't be rude, Da Lun came from afar, and the Hou Ye naturally wants to give you a big gift." Dalun should have discovered that there have been no cattle and sheep on the grassland for a long time, right? The last sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Du Song Ruozan tightly pulled the horse rope with one hand, and clenched the other into a fist.
He still doesn't understand how Huo Guang has not been here from beginning to end, but has gone to the grassland of the Qiang people, and in the name of Huo Guang's butcher, Du Song Ruozan no longer dares to imagine what the grassland behind him has become.
In an instant, anger occupied reason, and Du Song Ruozan issued a reckless order for the first time without hesitation: "Kill me to Chang'an City, I want the people of the entire Chang'an City to accompany the burial" Du Song Ruozan's order, the Qiang army rushed into Longdi Pass in the flood that burst the embankment.
This time, Mangbrozhi took the lead, and when he crossed the Longdi Pass, he encountered the Han army that was already in battle.
10,000 against 90,000, this is actually a battle without suspense. Even though the Han army had been prepared and arranged for a long time, it still could not make up for the huge gap in numbers.
One by one, the Han army's defense line was breached, and more and more Han troops were killed, and in less than an hour, the Han army, which originally had more than 12,000 people, was less than 3,000.
"Set it on fire, hopefully a few more days." Dongfang Shuo did not participate in the battle, still standing on the Guan Tower, watching the battle in the rear.
The position on the upper floor is extremely high, and you can see the entire battlefield. Now the Qiang people have destroyed all the defensive lines arranged by the Han army at the mouth of the valley.
As Dongfang Shuo's order was given, the valley full of firewood soon burst into flames. The valley was full of trees, and the Han army had already piled up firewood, and the fire spread all over the valley at once, as if the sky was burned red.
Together with the fire, the only way to Guanzhong was temporarily blocked by the fire, and the Qiang army could only watch the fire from the other side for a while, unable to cross the sea of fire for half a step.
Blocking the passage with fire, although this method is effective, will not last long after all. When the fire was extinguished, the Qiang were able to continue their march.
It's just that Dongfang Shuo really doesn't have any way anymore, this is already his last means of delaying time.
When the fire ignited, Dongfang Shuo had already quietly left. After the sea of fire, Dongfang Shuo took the remaining more than 3,000 people and began to arrange the last line of defense, which will also be the place where he fought to the last soldier.
The fire in Longdi Pass was so bright that thick smoke billowed into the sky, and even dozens of miles away could see the obvious celestial phenomenon. When Du Yannian was about to arrive at Longdi Pass with 20,000 young people, he also saw all this.
While the Qiang people waited for the fire to be extinguished, Dusong Ruozan also began to come to his senses. At this moment, he already regretted that he was too cautious, there were only more than 10,000 people in Longdi, and he had wasted more than a month here.
And now the situation in the rear is unclear, and most of the times there are many bad lucks, he doesn't know whether to withdraw his troops or really attack Chang'an City.
While Du Song Ruozan was waiting for the fire to be extinguished, the Dian State sent a flying horse to convey the news of the destruction of the Qiang Wangcheng and the destruction of Cangyang Liangyuan, and the news was sent to Mobei and Dahan at a faster speed.
Almost at the same time, Dusong Ruozan finally received the news that the steppe had been invaded and that the plague was raging.
When he learned these news, Du Song Ruozan's eyes were black and he fainted, Cangyang Liangyuan was killed, and the great changes in the grassland made Du Song Ruozan know that his life's work was over, and he would not wake up under the anger of his heart.
"Withdraw the army" Mangbrozhi had no choice but to order, although he had not yet fallen, but the bad news of Cangyang Liangyuan made Mangbrozhi also lose his soul, and he knew that they who lost the rear of the grassland were like lone wolves who left the wolves, although fierce but in the end they could not escape death.
Even if he has the heart to fight again, these tens of thousands of Qiang people are worried about the grassland, and they have no intention of fighting again! The fire, which seemed to connect the heavens and the earth, made the footsteps of the Qiang people's eastward march become history, and the Qiang army, which was originally with high morale, hurried back to the grassland as if they had lost the battle.
When Du Song Ruozan returned to the familiar grassland, he saw the corpses of cattle and sheep all over the ground, most of these corpses had rotted, clusters of mosquitoes and flies were flying, and the stench emitted by the rotting corpses permeated the entire grassland, which became more and more serious in the situation, and even more and more Qiang corpses began to appear, and the grassland on which the Qiang people depended for survival had become a purgatory, and became a desperate area where people and animals could not survive.
"Now it's over, it's over," Mangbroch watched helplessly. This time they took away 100,000 Qiang people, and now there are still 70,000 or 80,000 people who have returned, but this all-male army cannot thrive at all, and now the grassland can no longer survive.
"Go to the snowy region, where is there still a glimmer of life, those surviving clansmen must have migrated to the snowy region," Du Song Ruozan didn't know whether he was exhausted after being hit or infected with the plague, the whole person became extremely weak, his forehead was sweating like rain, his face was pale, he was already lying on the back of the horse, and made the last decision for these Qiang people.
Birds and birds in the snowy region are difficult to cross, and apart from some extremely hardy animals and plants, this is almost barren land.
However, it was precisely the harsh conditions, extremely thin air, and extremely low temperatures that prevented the plague from spreading.
Millions of Qiang people migrated towards the snowy plateau, which was a road of survival, a road made of bones piled up, and in the process of migrating to the snowy plateau, a large number of Qiang people died, even exceeding the number of plague deaths.
These Qiang people who are trying to survive, in addition to the will to survive, the only thing left is Huo Guang, the culprit who constantly curses all this.
It seems that there is no endless road, and although the conditions on the snowy plateau are bitterly cold, there are also some places that are barely suitable for human survival.
However, after losing the leadership of Cangyang Liangyuan, the Qiang people once again split into many tribal forces of different sizes in the process of continuous migration.
In the end, in order to compete for survival resources on the snowy plateau, these forces began a centuries-long internal annexation and conquest.
Zhuang Buqian said that this plot originally had a lot to write, but in order to enter the main event of the book earlier, the pace was a little faster.
