Chapter 57: Wrong Answer
readx; Could it be that Amy is playing with the idea here again?
Dahaino and Reynolds, as well as His Excellency the Chief of Staff, finally landed in one place: the Sangan River Theater -- Now that the small mercenary group cluster has made dumplings in the Sanggan River Theater from the southeast, north, and south, as long as they can seize the opportunity to eat the main army of Count Raybaton in one fell swoop, the entire Sangan River Theater will definitely surrender without a fight. The chiefs of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info still remember that half a year ago, just when everyone's attention was focused on the upcoming battle between the two kings of the Sangan River, the small mercenary group suddenly gathered all the dragon knights and phantom beast knights to brave the rain to attack Count Raybarton.
If that's the case, then attacking Scambray again would undoubtedly be a repeat of Amy's old trick.
The eyes of Reynolds, Dahaino, and His Excellency the Chief of Staff were full of wisdom after seeing through the next attack target of the fierce enemy, and a pleased smile appeared on their faces at the same time.
There is a famous saying that is like thunder: "The ignorant are fearless." At this time, several giants of Scambrai City are obviously interpreting another meaning of this sentence.
In the end, Hai Shuai's proposal was approved by everyone: "The greatest significance of the existence of the Sanggan River back then was to defend the Chi Hantong cluster and the later Alcatraz army to the south, and now, there is no strategic need for existence, and when the small mercenary group finally stabilizes the southern Xinjiang, it will definitely solve the internal Sanggan River theater first." In this case, it is better to abandon the Sangan River theater and order General Raybaton to lead the main force and take a boat or merge north into the Scambrai theater or south into the southeast base camp, so as to preserve a new force. In order to avoid encountering a small mercenary group dragon knight from the air on the road, it is recommended to send His Highness Shuda and General Yemoda to escort him all the way. As for the upcoming siege troops, it is very likely that the Jingrui troops are less than 10,000, and they will strive to find the right time to swallow them in one fell swoop. ”
His Royal Highness Delaware, the former Vice Minister of the Empire, was the last to see this proposal, and giving up the Sangan River meant losing the only territory within his own power, and the old man, who was nearly fifty years old, finally sighed softly: "Just as your lordship wishes." ”
Of course, at night, the two dragon knights, Shuda and Yemoda, held the double transfer orders of the base camp and the Delaware lord, and drove the dragon all the way south from the west coast. And this move eventually led to the almost total annihilation of the regular army in the Sanggan River Theater.
Because of this various associations, in later generations, a considerable proportion of pure military scientists believe that the theft of Yi Hailan's small porcelain vase is definitely a wonderful move arranged by Amy, the golden brain, and it is this chess piece that activates every chess piece laid by Amy in the eighth, nineth, and tenth years of the magic calendar. If you rigidly believe in the canonical history and think that this theft was an accident, then it is impossible to explain the connection between the front and the back to the perfect layout. And don't believe that anything is going to be wrong -- how can anyone be wrong to the point of being in the realm of flowing water.
This is another kind of enlightened wisdom of the benevolent.
The news of the Horns Legion's heading north brought new troubles to Dark Qiusheng: more than a dozen small towns in the area around Scambrai were empty, and they fled to Scambrai City with their families - in the seventh year of the Magic Calendar, the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force had implemented an iron-blooded policy against the former inhabitants of the empire in the northern plains of the Sangan River, and the authorities in Scambrai repeatedly publicized the heinous brutality of the small mercenary group on various occasions, and under such a premise, it is not difficult to understand the actions of the residents of the surrounding towns.
In order to avoid similar incidents, Scambrai simply opened up a huge refugee area on the south side of the city, isolating all the refugees and non-residents of Scambrai in the refugee area, and using towns and villages as units to screen them one by one, implement the joint sitting method, and the whole city was allowed to enter but not leave.
Neither Marshal Dahainor nor Emperor Renor of Burmese Yang ever thought of rejecting these refugees, and in Dahaino's eyes, these refugees were undoubtedly the best people to defend the city in the future, and His Majesty Renaud, as the Holy King of Zhongyāng, could not refuse the help of the people of the world.
Dark Autumn Sheng spent three days sprinkling the remaining half of the porcelain vase green sè powder on dozens of Fanos silver humans, but he himself was trapped in the refugee area as an unidentified outsider, and the situation was not good, from time to time a pseudo-officer came in with the residents of Didu to correct him, and people were constantly being taken away - from two different exits, of course, which apparently led to heaven and hell.
Fortunately, the total number of unidentified people will not be less than 40,000, and the process of correcting them one by one is relatively long, and the area where he is located is relatively backward, in the few days that he was imprisoned, Dark Qiusheng knew from other people's mouths that Deputy Captain Horns was leading troops north, so Captain Amy has agreed with his opinion, but, now it is definitely impossible to hope that the deputy head of the regiment will save himself, and in the end, Dark Qiusheng used the dragon flute in the middle of the night to summon the dragon from dozens of miles away, and in full view of everyone, the young man turned over and jumped on the back of the dragon, and by the way, he commanded the dragon to send a series of dragon breath balls to the military camp outside the screening areaThe other unidentified people trapped in the screening area took this opportunity to disperse in a hurry.
By the time Marshal Dahaino and Renor were awakened from their dreams by the dragon's groans and shouts of killing, the bald-tailed dragon had swayed dozens of miles away.
Don't...... This time, the little mercenary group really had Scambray in mind? The two superiors had the same thought floating in their heads, otherwise, how could they send dragon knights to do the work of scouts? If this is the case, then the two dragon knights should not be sent out...... Alas...... Facing Amy, a little fox, is really a very troublesome thing.
It's a pity that there are all kinds of medicines in any parallel world, but there is no precious medicine called "regret".
The next day, about the matter of the dragon knight scout, several of the highest authorities of Scambray also held a special meeting, analyzed and analyzed, all kinds of possibilities were listed seven or eight, each of which may mean that each of them is impossible, and finally, Hai Shuai put forward the eight-word principle: "Be cautious and wait and see what happens" He also proposed to expand the reserve establishment, Scambrai had more than 200,000 reserve troops before, and on this basis, another 100,000 reserves were reorganized among the homeless people, and once there was a real urban offensive and defensive war, the new 100,000 reserves would be put into full use in the first batch.
Reynolds would never have imagined that Marshal Dahaino would also kill people with a knife. The old marshal saw through the blue eyes of the young emperor, and smiled faintly bitterly: "Your Highness, if you really encounter a siege war, only with the help of their flesh and blood can you stimulate the fighting spirit of the displaced people, and only if the displaced people have the determination to fight to the death, we don't have to worry about excessive casualties that may cause abnormal changes in the indigenous people of Scambrai." ”
At this time, instead of blaming the old marshal, it is better to simply accuse your own conscience.
The young emperor sighed in his heart, from the moment this war began, everything became uncertain, and everything could not be measured by common sense. War is really a fast school of higher learning, only those who have been shaped successful can be fortunate to leave, and everything in this institution is built on the bones of losers.
In order to prepare for the possible siege battle, Dahaino sent all the phantom beast knights and flying knights in his hands to monitor the Horns Legion and the two hundred miles around Scambrai at night.
More detailed news was sent back one after another, first of all, Horns's command was really a real Jing Rui army, at least two to ten thousand - the last time Horns swung his army north, his command was mainly mercenaries, and some peasants could also fool the scouts, and this time all of them were the regular army of the empire and more than half of them were the Colorful Dragon Knights, and the standard armor weapons of the regular army, especially the equipment of the Jing Rui Iron Cavalry Force, could not be mixed with a drop of water at all; According to the regulations of the Ministry of Marching, one pavilion is sixty miles, and at this rate, it will take at least more than 20 ri to drive to the city of Scambrai, which violates the common sense of the soldiers' gods and nobles to use troops quickly?
What are these little mercenary groups going to do? Could it be that the purpose of recruiting doctors and priests is really to prepare to storm Didu? The whole of Scambray is puzzled, and at the same time they are puzzled, the plague ...... It flowed quietly right under their noses.
Those who can be called plagues have three common characteristics:
First, the routes of infection are diverse, and they can be quickly cross-infected through physical contact, air movement in breathing, and regular equipment; secondly, the outbreak is rapid, extremely deadly, and there is no specific medicine, and the mortality rate of the infected is as high as 50 percent or even higher; third, the incubation period is long, and the longer the incubation time, the more terrible it is. No matter how deadly an infectious disease is, if the incubation period is only a few days, it is not a plague in the true sense of the word.
On the twelfth day after Dark Autumn Sheng left Scambray, the first signs of the plague appeared: the first patient was a hundred people named Fu Chu, the only flaw of this poor werewolf officer in this life was that he was relatively kind, and it was precisely because of this that Dark Autumn was taken a fancy to on the street, and he came to pat him on the shoulder under the old routine of pretending to recognize the wrong person.
In the first few days, the patient was covered in fever, especially in the morning and evening, and during the day it was normal, such symptoms were very similar to colds, and Chun Tian happened to be the most prevalent season for colds, in addition, the Phanos continent was hot all year round, while Scambrai was in the temperate zone, and the temperature was very different, so in the past few years, as long as it was Chun season, there was generally a flu in the barracks. The two doctors were not surprised at all, they just prescribed a cold medicine, not to mention, this medicine really had an immediate effect, and after taking it, the temperature on the patient's body quickly dropped. However, two days later, Fuchu's body temperature rose again.
Time is passing minute by minute, and every minute, every sick person is unconsciously in contact with other soldiers.
On the morning of the 21st day, the two chiefs under the tent of the hundred people of Fu Chu hurriedly invited several doctors in the barracks, just last night, Fu Chu suddenly appeared up and down a large pimple, each with a diameter of one centimeter, the face is blood-red, extremely itchy, Fu Chu scratched all night, except for the back, the other pimples were scratched, and the thick liquid of yellow and red sè flowed out.
There is a difference of tens of thousands of years between the Great War of the Demon God and the Great War of the Gods, and unless it is a history professor in various universities, no one remembers that there was a large-scale plague in the early days of the Great War of the Demon God. The four physicians were all worried about such a difficult disease, and finally, they went to invite the two high-ranking priests who accompanied the camp, and the two priests continuously chanted all the known healing divine magic, such as healing, double healing, moonlight, and huichunju, but unfortunately...... There is not the slightest sign of improvement.
The doctors decided to isolate and treat the 100-year-old Fuchu first, and to send a special person to supervise them -- this is also a right that only officers with more than 100 people enjoy.
On the twenty-seventh day of the third month of the ninth year of the Magic Calendar, there were nine cases in Scambray City that were exactly the same as those of the Hundred Men of Fuchu, and more than half of them were mid- and low-ranking officers, and until this time, the doctors still did not pay attention to it - after all, there were no deaths.
Four days later, the 100-year-old Fuchu died of illness and death, and on the same night, the other three soldiers exhaled their last breath in the same attitude, and the number of soldiers with fever in the same period had exceeded 200.
It was only at this time, in the summer and January of the ninth year of the Magic Calendar, that several of the attending physicians and priests of the Scambray barracks officially reported to the Legion Commander His Excellency Merlin that there might be a contagion or ...... in the barracks Pestilence.
Seeing the words of the plague, Marshal Dahaino, Emperor Mianyang, His Highness Delaware, and His Highness the Holy Son were cold! Almost at the same time, they remembered the previous information: the Horns Legion went all the way north to Zhongzhong and forcibly recruited physicians and priests, and the four superiors absolutely did not believe that there was no inevitable connection between the two.
At this time, the Northern Expeditionary Legion led by Horns was less than 400 miles away from Scambray City, and on the same day, the Dwarven Warhammer troops sent by the Mountain Dwarven Kingdom were only more than 500 miles away from Scambray City.
After learning the news of the plague in Scambrai City, the Northern Expeditionary Legion and the dwarven troops suddenly exerted their strength, on the seventh day of the summer month, the 4600 iron horsemen of the Light Knight Brigade of the Colorful Dragon Knights drank the horse Beihai Lake, and after two ri, the two legions of 170,000 horses and horses met under the city of Scambrai, and the joint camp was rooted from the southeast gate of Scambrai to the northwest gate, stretching for eighteen miles.
The second offensive and defensive battle of Scambrai, which is famous for its cruelty and bloodshed, has officially kicked off!
