Chapter 20: Fear of the Epidemic
"Chu He, you lift the door panel and let me see the situation outside."
Chu He lifted the door panel in harmony.
Song Nian looked out along the gap between the door panel and the arrow stack.
Sure enough, I saw the Hu people outside, although they were extremely fierce, everyone had bows and arrows, and they looked vicious...... However, they are all two or three feet away from the city.
Even the city gate did not dare to approach, only dared to stand far away on the sand dunes.
"Huo, it should be ......" Song Nian just understood it, and another rain of arrows fell below.
Song Nian's neck shrank and shrank behind the arrow stack.
Chu He held the door panel, ready to resist the arrow rain, but he didn't expect that this wave of arrow rain was extremely powerful, and Chu He's hands trembled slightly.
The next moment, his hand trembled, and he couldn't hold the thick plank half an inch thick, and let it slide down to the top of the city and slam heavily on the sand outside the city.
The Hu people outside the city suddenly shouted excitedly.
Then, there was a sudden swishing sound in the air.
"Let's go!"
Song Nian pulled Chu He and Su Qi'er and jumped down from the city.
Fortunately, the ancient city of Longyou has been abandoned for a long time, and the city wall is full of floating sand several feet high.
The three jumped from above, and although they ate a mouthful of sand, they did not fall.
It's just that the sound of puff and puff sounded overhead, making the three of them palpitate.
"Master, what now...... If the Hu people rush in, we won't have a place to hide......" Su Qi'er said with a crying voice.
"What to cry about! Speak up to me! Hu people can hear it! Song Nian slapped Su Qi'er's smooth head.
"Let's go, let's change places first."
The three of them had just changed corners, and the place where the three of them stayed was a rain of arrows.
"Master...... What now......" Su Qi'er asked pitifully.
Song Nian glanced at Chu He, and Chu He was silent.
In the current situation, unless Chu He brings the Black Armor Army, it will ......
"Why, without the Black Armor Army, you can't defeat these Hu people?" Song Nian sneered.
Chu He's face changed slightly, but he was also resolute: "Song Nian, I really can't think of a way...... But do you have any good ideas? ”
Song Nian smiled and looked at the city gate: "Do you know why they don't dare to enter the city?" ”
"Don't dare to go into town? Don't...... Are you afraid that we will be in ambush? Chu He frowned.
Song Nian sneered: "Wufu! ”
Su Qi'er rolled her eyes: "Master...... Could it be because of the dead bodies ......? ”
Su Qi'er pointed to the dozen or so dead bodies with strange black spots that had just been dug up in the sand on the other side.
Song Nian snapped his fingers silently...... Pretending to be forced should also pay attention to safety...... He laughed in a low voice: "It is worthy of being my apprentice, but it is smart." ”
Chu He gritted his teeth and arched his hand at Song Nian: "I want to hear about it." ”
Song Nian said with a smile: "I don't blame you for this, after all, you are not a fool." ”
Song Nian pointed to the corpses next to him: "Chu He, do you know why the corpses of the General's Mansion were buried in the ground and rotted, but these corpses were scattered on the ground. ”
Chu He was stunned for a moment and shook his head slightly.
Song Nian smiled and said: "Because, these two groups of people are not the same ......"
"Not the same batch? But the clothes they wore were all those worn by the previous dynasty......"
Song Nian smiled: "They are all soldiers of the previous dynasty, but ...... These are two groups of people...... Or rather, they are the ones who buried the General's Mansion......"
"The group of people who buried the General's Mansion......" Chu He suddenly understood: "You mean, they buried those people from the General's Mansion, so ...... Die here yourself? ”
Song Nian nodded, looked at those dried corpses, and sighed, "You should understand now...... The people of this city died in ...... Epidemic disease. ”
As soon as he said about the epidemic, Chu He's face changed greatly.
What are you most afraid of when you march to war? Except for the mutiny of the soldiers, it is ...... Epidemic disease!
As long as the epidemic is together, most of the soldiers in this army will be reduced by half, and the remaining soldiers are basically panicked and have no intention of fighting.
Therefore, during the march, the water source, the cooking, the camping, and even the location of the thatched hut were all very particular to avoid epidemics.
No wonder Song Nian didn't let him and Su Qi'er come into contact with these bones.
"Epidemic ......" Chu He glanced at the black corpses with some horror: "According to the rules of the army of the previous dynasty, after these people buried the corpses of the General's Mansion, they should be cleaned immediately and then leave the ......"
Song Nian nodded: "Yes, you are right, these soldiers are indeed preparing to leave...... But when they disposed of the corpses of the General's Mansion, they were already infected with the epidemic, so they ...... All of them were buried here. ”
Chu He was stunned: "This epidemic is so dangerous? ”
Song Nian sneered: "It's not just that. 'M afraid...... From now on, anyone who goes out of this city will die and spread it on the grasslands! ”
"So...... The Hu people in this vicinity, as long as they see someone entering this ancient city, then ...... Whatever the reason, all those who enter the ancient city must be shot in the ancient city! ”
Chu He's brows furrowed slightly, if so, then ...... The Hu people will never let them go! This is a matter of life and death for the entire race! Never let anyone go!
"Master...... That...... That ......" Su Qi'er nervously asked a question that made Chu He also feel a little chill in his heart.
"We ...... Will we get sick too? ”
Song Nian smiled and touched her little head: "Don't worry, Master is here." It's okay. ”
