Now, Qingji can only choose to believe in Xiong Zidan.

Compared with Gou Jian, Qingji trusts Xiong Zidan more.

This is secondary.

Because Qingji knew that Xiong Zidan had fought against the Dian people in the area of Yunnan in his early years.

The topography of Yunnan is actually similar to that of Luoyue.

Xiong Zidan is brave, resourceful, courageous, and has rich experience in mountain warfare, which is enough to make Qingji believe that he can handle this important task.

Early the next morning, after Xiong Zidan led 3,000 elite soldiers into the 100,000 mountains, Qingji took the remaining more than 40,000 Wu soldiers and soldiers and continued to march towards the Lishui (Lijiang River).

On the way, the Luo Yue people continued to invade the Wu army, causing a lot of casualties to the Wu army.

The attack of the Luo Yue people caused casualties to the Wu army was secondary.

The most serious is the case of non-combat attrition.

Even the Wu army in the south had difficulty adapting to the harsh environment in Guilin County and Xiang County, and there were some conditions of unadaptability.

Coupled with the poisonous insects and beasts, as well as the threat of swamps, the officers and men of the Wu army began to reduce their personnel in non-combat, and there were many wounded soldiers.

"Winter! Winter! Winter!"

The dull and murderous sound of war drums resounded in the sky.

On the Lishui side, tens of thousands of Wu soldiers stood there, giving people a kind of momentum of Mount Tai.

Across the bank were thousands of Luo Yue soldiers.

Compared with the stubborn and almost fully armed Wu army, they did not wear armor on their bodies, and they were mostly bare-chested, shirtless, and their capes were scattered.

The weapons in the hands of Luo Yue are also varied.

Mainly swords, halberds, spears, Ge, in order to deal with the Wu soldiers wearing heavy armor, Luo Yue people also took out a lot of axes, sledgehammers.

Seriously, wearing armor in such a hot and humid weather is not unpleasant.

Armor can play a certain role in protecting the soldiers of the Wu army, but it can also sometimes restrict their movements.

"Attack!"

With Qingji's order, the soldiers of the Wu army, who had long been ready to go, rushed towards the boat on the bank of Lishui with the momentum of Menghu going down the mountain.

It is said that it is Lishui, but it is not accurate.

Because Lishui directly leads to the Xiangjiang River and Lingqu, Wu's warships can arrive here in a few days.

Luo Yue people will not be stupid enough to play up their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

"Kill!"

After boarding the boat, the soldiers of Wu immediately rowed their oars and quickly approached the enemy on the opposite bank.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Hugh Hugh!"

Wu Jun and Luo Yue fought round after round of shooting.

Compared with the soldiers of the Wu army who did not have cover, the Luo Yue people who hid behind the rocky mounds could minimize their casualties.

"Poof!"

"Ahh

When an arrow misses, it can penetrate a person's body.

After being hit by the arrow, the Luo Yue people all fell into a pool of blood and died of anger.

On the Wu side, thanks to the strength of the armor, there were few casualties.

Unless it is shot in the face or limbs, the armor with a certain protective effect is still impenetrable with the simple bow and arrow of the Luo Yue people.

Luo Yue people are also aware of this, so they don't plan to entangle with it.

"Ah! It's flooded!"

A soldier of Wu couldn't help but exclaim.

I saw that the boat they were carrying was suddenly punctured, and then a large amount of water began to seep.

From under the sparkling river, Luo Yue people reluctantly came out one after another.

These Luo Yue people were like water ghosts, and they stabbed the throats of the Wu soldiers with a spear, causing them to fall into the river.

Some of the Wu soldiers were also knocked over into the river, and they swallowed the water directly......

is also a southerner, a soldier of the Wu army

The water is good, but all of a sudden, they can't react at all.

So, in this tributary of Lishui, there was a tragic fight.

Screams, fights, laughter, scolding, etc., all kinds of sounds are intertwined, forming a purgatory-like scene on earth.

The originally clear water of the river was stained red with blood.

A large number of corpses, accompanied by fragments of the ship, floated above the river.

However, in the face of the stubborn resistance of the Luo Yue people, the soldiers of the Wu army still did not admit defeat.

"Kill!"

"The more barbarian! Die!"

"Straight thief, I'll fight with you!"

"Rush over!"

More and more boats landed on the other side and engaged the Luo Yue people there.

Under the tragic battle, Luo Yue was invincible, and once again fought and retreated.

And, this time they did it even harder!

In order to prevent the pursuit of the Wu army, the Luo Yue people directly set fire to the mountain, and set a fire in the mountains and forests along the Lishui.

The raging flames quickly engulfed patches of dense forest.

Towering trees that are hundreds or even thousands of years old have been burned.

This fire also formed a barrier, isolating the Wu army on the shore of Lishui.

……

It's June, and it's very hot.

The Wu army pursued the Luo Yue people all the way to the junction of Xiang County and Hanoi (Yue Nan), that is, the area of Jiming Pass in the country of Wen Lang.

Jiming Pass is not a male pass, it is barely a fortress, the low city wall is less than a zhang, it is solidified with rammed earth and bamboo chips, and it has a certain defensive nature.

The biggest problem facing Wu Jun now is not the rooster pass, nor the stubborn Luo Yue people, but the harsh environment, the scorching hot weather, and the epidemic.

Including Qingji, all the soldiers of the Wu army were already physically and mentally exhausted, and had to take off their armor to resist the sweltering weather.

Seriously, in this kind of weather, it is not possible for ordinary humans to fight with helmets and armor.

I'm afraid that before the Luo Yue people continue to attack, the Wu soldiers themselves will be suffocated and killed by heat.

In addition, the speed of the Wu army's attack was too fast, and the terrain of Xiangjun was too complicated, and the pressure on logistics and supply increased, and the Wu army had to temporarily stop at Jiming Pass.

"Ahh

In the camp of wounded soldiers, the wails were endless.

The doctors brought by Qingji's southern expedition were all covered with face towels and were applying medicine, bandaging, and feeding soup to the wounded soldiers.

The scarred soldiers of the Wu army were lying there, wailing.

The injuries on their bodies are either sword wounds or axe wounds, and if their internal organs are damaged, even if they are lucky enough to survive, I am afraid they will live too long......

There are also some wounded soldiers, who were injured by poisonous insects and beasts, and if they can't get timely treatment, I'm afraid they will also hate the northwest and die with a whimper.

Seeing this scene, Qingji's mood was very heavy.

At this time, Qingji, accompanied by Sun Li, Gou Jian, Bo Biao and other generals, covered his veil and patrolled the wounded barracks.

The huge wounded barracks was also divided into three parts.

One part is the wounded with minor and serious injuries, which are external injuries, some are the wounded with internal injuries, and the other part is the one that has been eroded by the epidemic and is basically incurable.
