Chapter 379: Withdrawal of troops

In the face of the Qin army's artillery attack, the Jizi army could not see any hope.

Half of the soldiers have already been killed, and they don't want to be cannon fodder anymore, so they simply flee in all directions!

"Come back...... Get back to me, get back to me......! ”

Seeing all the soldiers fleeing everywhere like a plate of scattered sand, General Morse was furious, waving the scimitar in his hand and roaring.

But no matter how much he shouted, no one paid attention to him.

Even his lieutenant ran away!

"General! Forget it, we're defeated! ”

The other lieutenant shook his head and said helplessly.

As a lieutenant general of Mikokoku, he also did not want to admit defeat.

But there was no way, they lost this battle, and they lost it very completely!

"Defeated? If we are defeated, what will we do with the kingdom of Miko? ”

Morse laughed angrily.

He has fought a battle for half his life, and he has never fought such a battle!

Even before touching the other party's hair, he already lost!

"Boom ......"

Another cannon fell behind the two of them, and a heat wave mixed with smoke and dust rushed towards the two of them.

"General, don't worry about it so much, let's retreat first!"

The adjutant covered his face with his hands and shouted loudly.

"Alas......!"

In desperation, Morse had no choice but to agree to retreat.

If you don't leave, the next explosion will be on the two of them!

Now that the soldiers have all run away, the two of them are still not moving, and if they don't leave, will they be the target of the Qin army?

"Little boy, I'll lead the troops to catch up now and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"

Fan Hao licked his lips and took the initiative to ask for help with great excitement.

"Lao Fan, this merit has been taken up by the artillery, you can't grab the second merit, if you want to chase it, let's all go together!"

"That's it! There are only a few thousand of us in total, and we have to do it together! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, Lao Fan, you can't eat alone......!"

As soon as Fan Xu's words fell, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Peng Yue, Wang Li and others.

Although Great Qin has undergone a series of reforms, the area of military exploits has not moved.

The more enemies you kill, the more rewards you'll get!

Everyone came to the battlefield to work hard, in order to make war exploits and seal their wives and sons.

If all these feats were robbed by the artillery and Fan Xu, wouldn't they have come in vain?

"Okay, don't fight, no one has to chase this time!"

Ying Feiyu sat upright on the horse, looked at the Jizi army like a plate of loose sand, and raised his hand to stop everyone.

"Now that the weather is very hot, we have to clean up the battlefield first, otherwise bacteria will breed, and it will cause a strong infectious disease!"

In this era, medical conditions are very backward, and once an infectious disease is caused, it is difficult to cure it.

"Hmmm! Then let them go first and let them live a few more days! ”

"Yes, anyway, they are all grasshoppers after autumn, and they can't jump for a few days!"

Fan Xu and Wang Li replied, nodded, and then led his troops to clean up the battlefield and bury all the enemy soldiers who had died in battle.

……

In the city of King Keiko, Morse led his lieutenant general and fled back like a lost dog.

The 200,000 army, even the face of the Qin army was crushed when it was seen, and only a few hundred people were brought back to the royal city.

When Wei Man learned the news, he was shocked!

He failed because of the light enemy and the lack of troops!

But the country of Jizi had him to report the news, and he had made sufficient preparations to bring all the troops of the country together, but he still couldn't stop the attack of the Qin army!

"King! What do we do now? ”

At this time, Wei Man's face was full of horror.

If even the Kezi Kingdom couldn't stop the Qin army's attack, then what should they do?

"King, the Qin army is coming soon, why don't we retreat quickly?"

At this moment, an old minister stood up and made a suggestion.

"Yes, Your Majesty, although the number of the Qin army is very small, it is fierce, it is better for us to avoid the limelight for the time being, and then come back after the Qin army retreats!"

Another minister also came forward to second.

"Retreat? The road ahead of us is blocked, where else can we retreat? Is it difficult to go to Donghu? Or go to the Huns ......? ”

Ji Zhun laughed at himself, and then slapped his head, "I almost forgot, now even the Xiongnu are the territory of Daqin, let's go, isn't it the same as throwing ourselves into the net?" ”

"But if you don't leave, when the Qin army attacks, the king won't be able to leave!"

The old minister said eagerly.

"This king didn't want to leave at all! This king will live and die with the subjects of the kingdom of Miko! ”

Ji Zhun sat on the throne and glanced at the crowd.

At his age, he already sees life and death very lightly!

But if you want him to give up the entire Minzi country, it is absolutely impossible!

"If the king leaves, even if the Qin army occupies the royal city, sooner or later the army will have to withdraw, and we will be able to kill it back then! But if the king doesn't leave, when the Qin army comes in, we will be in trouble! ”

The old minister persuaded him bitterly.

Even Morse, the first general of the Kezi Kingdom, personally led his troops to defend against the enemy, but he did not succeed, and it seems that the strength of the Qin army is indeed very strong.

Retreat is their only way out!

"Needless to say, this king will never leave!"

Ji Jun's attitude is very resolute.

"The King...... The King ......"

Just when everyone's faces were full of sadness, a soldier in ordinary armor suddenly ran in, looking very panicked.

"Could it be that the Qin army has already come in?"

Without waiting for Ji Zhun to speak, Wei Man hurriedly ran over, grabbed the soldier's collar and asked.

If the speed of the Qin army was really so fast, then he would definitely not say a word, ignore anyone, and flee directly through the back door.

The people of any family and country have nothing to do with him, and it is important to save his life!

"No...... No...... No! ”

The soldier was so out of breath that he had to shake his head again and again.

"What's that?"

Hearing that it was not the Qin army that entered the city, Wei Man breathed a sigh of relief and pushed him aside.

"Yes...... It's the day...... Sky...... Smallpox! ”

At the mention of smallpox, the soldiers' faces were full of horror, no less than seeing the Qin army.

There is no way, smallpox, which has disappeared in later generations, is an incurable disease in this era!

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and soon it will spread to the people of a city!

So, in this era, if smallpox was found, better people were isolated in a separate room and died.

If it is more serious, it will be directly burned to death by the villagers in the firewood pile!

The goal is to prevent spread as much as possible!

"Smallpox? Where is it? ”

Like the soldiers, after hearing these two words, Ji Zhun's face changed instantly, and he was dozens of times more panicked than when he heard that the Qin army was coming.

"It's ...... It's in a people's house in the city! ”

The soldier stammered.

"When did you find out? Why is there a sudden smallpox in the city? ”

"I heard that it has been found for more than ten days, and it is the local officials who are afraid of being held accountable, so they cover up the news and do not report it!"

"Damn it...... guys!"

Ji Zhun suddenly became furious, "Execute the official immediately!" ”
