Zhao Nian bent his body into a shrimp, half kneeling and half lying on the ground, he was already in pain, but he couldn't breathe. The five hundred men could not think of a way, nor did they dare to stay in the tent for a long time, but withdrew to the tent. But the soldiers outside the tent were writhing in pain, and the wails were incessant. Looking further at the neighboring camp, there seems to be no place of tranquility, but the camp is relatively quiet. And they came to the wounded camp.

Although it was called a wounded battalion, in fact, in addition to the seriously wounded, those soldiers who were knocked down by the epidemic were also sent here. There is no cure here, in fact, it is a place to wait for death. The location is under the North Mountain, set up by the mountain, and it was originally located here because it is close to the last line of defense of Changping and is relatively safe. But after Beishan was occupied by the Qin army, it became the front line. - But there was also a tactical significance: if the Qin army went down the mountain to attack, it had to pass through the wounded camp, thus weakening its own strength.

There are new and old people lying here, there are long ones, and there are even wounded soldiers who participated in the battle of Taniguchi, and his companions have either recovered from their wounds or died, but they have been lying in the wounded camp without death, watching one life enter and then disappear, which makes them desireless; Even the recent food shortage did not move them a little. They lay quietly on the ground, waiting for the last day to come. The shortest ones had just participated in the battle commanded by Zhao Kuo a few days ago, and their number was the largest, reaching thousands. Since entering the wounded camp almost meant death, the number of 10,000 men was to be reduced to a minimum: most of those who could still perform some duties in the camp were not allowed to come, and almost all the soldiers who came in were seriously wounded and dying. They have not yet gotten used to the oppressive atmosphere of the camp, making loud noises from time to time, and retaining curiosity about the news from the outside world.

Seeing these dozen or so healthy people come in, someone immediately inquired about the situation outside and asked, "Why is there such a noise in the camp?" ”

A 500-person general said: "I accidentally ate Qin Su, and I have pain in my abdomen." ”

One soldier said: "True, true! We ate its millet, but we didn't realize it at first, and when we were in battle, our abdomen ached, so we were defeated. Otherwise......"

A soldier next to him said: "Today, the abdomen will not be painful, and the intestines will also come out!" ”

These five hundred people will look around, all of them are disemboweled, panting and unconscious, although quiet, but even more depressed, they can't stay at all, and they will come out immediately. Battalion by battalion watched, and all the battalions were in a predicament of abdominal pain.

More and more people are experiencing abdominal pain symptoms, and at night, almost all people have abdominal pain; And those who had begun to have abdominal pain at noon no longer had the strength to howl, and curled up on the ground in resignation, panting heavily, and some even fell asleep.

The wailing in Zhao's camp was so loud that the surrounding Qin troops also heard it, and there were constantly military envoys flying to report it. Bai Qi only ordered the battalions to strengthen their vigilance, so as not to let the Zhao people escape, and there was no need to attack. Pi Wan also understood that his trip was in vain: it was impossible for the Zhao army to enter Qin, nor to return to Zhao, and they would be buried here. He wisely said no more, and only gossiped with him when Bai Qi was free.

Because the voice in the Zhao camp was so loud, the soldiers in the Qin camp in the mountain also stayed awake all night, and everyone stared at the bottom of the mountain in horror, obviously hoping to know what was happening, but there was nothing they could do. Wang Yi's military camp was nearly ten miles away from the Zhao camp, and the terrifying sound of the Zhao camp could still be heard, but the sound was smaller and the lethality was not as great as that of the nearby place.

The small hill by the Danshui was clear about Zhao Ying's movements, and all the sounds were clearly audible, and those experienced swordsmen felt a little frightened, but Bai Qi still slept soundly.

In the second half of the night, the voices in Zhao's camp gradually subsided, replaced by an unsettling silence, and the daily snare drum did not sound as usual.

Each army of the Qin army sent envoys to report their situation to Bai Qi, and Bai Qi instructed each army to send a battalion after breakfast to inspect the Zhao camp.

The Zhao camp was almost empty, and the soldiers of the Zhao army lay on the ground horizontally, most of them cold and delirious; The few who can still move are only gasping for breath, and it is difficult to even stand up. The Qin army has been patrolling the tent of 10,000 generals, and all the generals are dying.

The Shangjun army was close to the water and took the lead in entering Zhao Kuo's big tent. Zhao Kuo's camp had been completely lost on the shore of Danshui, and there was an empty camp around the big tent.

The Northland army also came down to inspect it, and in some of the camps they were surprised to find that there were women and children; They were not eligible to eat yesterday's fried millet and were able to save their lives, but they were already dying of hunger. The sudden arrival of the Qin army did not cause much commotion, they looked at the indifferent Qin army who broke in, and there was no difference between life and death for them.

It took about a day to inspect the entire Zhao camp. Each battalion reported that there were no more capable men in the Zhao camp, and that those who were either dead or about to die.

Li Bing heard that there were still women and children in his jurisdiction, so he hurriedly went over with Meng Fu to check. Meng Fu found a woman who could still speak and asked, it turned out that they were the people of Shangdang, and the whole family was conscripted into the army. They were not sick or injured, but they had been without food for several days, and almost all the plants and animals around them had been eaten by them. Li Bing couldn't bear it, and asked Meng Wei: "How can you save it?" ”

Meng Fu looked at it and said: "Immediately order the three battalions to settle in, and Shen Ling said, don't harm them, but if there is a living, it will be given!" ”

Li Bing immediately asked the military envoy to transfer three battalions from the back valley to garrison them. When they arrived, he personally instructed them to feed the women and children carefully, starting with only a little fried millet and rubbing it on their lips no more than five times a day.

The wounded battalion was in the area of the Guanzhong Army. This is the most vigorous area in the Zhao camp. When the wounded saw the Qin army breaking in, they sat up from the ground one by one, and some even tried their best on the spot, causing the wounds to burst and blood to flow all over the ground. Guan Zhongjun was very calm, and anyone who rushed over would stab him with a spear; If you fall halfway, you don't care. Five hundred men divided into five teams and paraded around the wounded camp. It was so crowded that it was impossible to get off the foot, and it was impossible to distinguish the boundaries of the camp, so it could only be roughly circumferential around them. When the wounded and sick saw that the Qin army did not come to invade them, they watched their movements with suspicion.

The Qin army entered one Zhao army camp after another, and then came out of it, and they were all looked at by the wounded. They felt the bitter howls of their companions most deeply in the night, and despair had already struck them. The Qin army's casual entry and exit in the Zhao camp shattered their last faint hope, and many of the wounded began to cry in pain.

Compared with the Qin army in Beishan, which could easily enter the Zhao camp, the Qin army in Taniguchi had to work a lot harder. It took them a lot of strength to break open the gate of Qin Bi and enter the Qin Wall, which they had been watching for a long time, but could not reach. Wang Yi was more cautious and sent a thousand men, half of whom occupied the fortresses along the wall, and half entered the Zhao camp to check.

It hardly took much trouble to find that Zhao Yingzhong was already dead. This is the first line of defense of the Zhao army against the Qin army, and the elite of the Zhao army is guarded here, and they are fully manned. But now, they have been tormented by the severe pain of the night, most of them have gone into shock, and a few who are still gasping for breath have also indifferently watched the Qin army enter.

The public doctor who patrolled the camp counted the number of people very carefully, and there were less than fifty people at each stove. He went to ask where else had gone, but the person being questioned just looked at him with indifferent eyes and didn't say a word. After counting, about 10,000 of the 100,000 people opposite Wang Yu's army were missing, and it is not known whether they were injured and left, or fled, or hid in a place where they could not find it.

Bai Qi did not let Danshui's swordsmen enter the Zhao camp, and the Qin army in Dongling only let them enter the formidable southern camp. Bai Qi had tried his best to occupy this camp, but now that he was really going to occupy it, he was not interested at all, as if a fun toy had been brought to his hand, but he could no longer play with it. Those camps that had been captured by Bai Qi but were forced to withdraw were rebuilt by the Zhao army, but the high arrow towers did not have the strength to rebuild. Originally, after the Zhao army ran out of food, Bai Qi had the opportunity to attack, but a plague disrupted all this. And after the plague, the entire Zhao army fell by itself like a ripe fruit, so smooth that even Bai Qi couldn't believe it. He only let the soldiers of Dongling go to the camp to patrol, and locked himself in a big tent alone, and sat for a day.

At sunset, the reports of various battalions gathered to him: more than 400,000 Zhao troops had completely fallen into the hands of the Qin army, not only had no combat effectiveness, no resistance, and even no power to bind the chickens! Most of them are dead!

Bai Qi listened silently to the reports from one military envoy after another, his face was expressionless, and after they finished speaking, he simply said: "Good! "There are no instructions for further action. Only the Northland Army sent people to say that they had found thousands of women and children, and had ordered Qin Shi to help them, and if they lived, they were willing to give them soldiers. Bai Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Accurate!" "It's a different word. Wang Ling's Guanzhong army was the farthest, and the last one came to report, saying that there were still tens of thousands of wounded at the foot of the mountain, all of whom were unable to walk and were dying. Bai Qi still only replied with one word: "Good!" ”

When the envoys of the various armies came to report, Pi Juan sat beside Bai Qi and recorded the reports of the armies on the bamboo slips. Wang Di's report was the most accurate, and the report of the Northland Army was the most distinctive, they even wanted to give a group of women and children to the soldiers, and some soldiers were willing to give them food for this purpose. Guan Zhongjun's report is the most troublesome, what to do with the tens of thousands of wounded? Originally, according to Pi Juan's plan, these wounded were consumables that perfectly consumed Zhao Guo's national strength, but the premise was that someone had to carry them back to Handan. Now that all the Zhao troops have fallen, who can carry them back? I'll have to solve it for them myself.
