Chapter 644: Poisonous Mist
readx;
There was a poem that said: "The north wind swept the white grass and folded, and the snow flew in August." "Writing, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info "This shows how long and cold the winter is in the north. Besides, it's still the winter moon, and it's basically the coldest time in the north. Therefore, as soon as I got out of Juyong Pass, it was snowing all over the sky every day, and the marching speed of the army became very slow.
Out of Juyong Pass, all the way north is Yanqing Prefecture. It was still the territory of the Bactrian Dynasty, but Yanqing Prefecture was connected to the Tatar territory and had long been plagued by Tatar raids. Therefore, there is no guarantee of whether there will be Tatars here.
Jiang Xia's 200,000 troops were mighty and entered Yanqing Prefecture directly. At the beginning of the first year, the journey was relatively smooth, and most of the cities along the way were greeted by people, and a round of supplies was also carried out along the way.
But when the army arrived in Iriyunzhou, it seemed a little abnormal. Although the name of Yunzhou has a state character in it, it is actually a military city. Behind it is the Thursday Gou Fort and the Heihanling Fort, which are the first places to pass through if you want to enter the territory of Tatar from Yanqing Prefecture.
If you don't pass here, you'll have to take a detour from Yunchuan. Not to mention the distance, the key is to enter the territory of Tatar, and you have to face a Tang River. If the Tatar army stood on the bank of the Tang River and sniped at the soldiers and horses of Great Xia, then forcibly crossing a Tang River would probably bring a lot of losses to Jiangxia.
Therefore, Jiangxia's troops and horses must pass through Yunzhou, and then exit from Heihanling Fort. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Jiang Xia sent someone early to send an edict to Hu Wei, the general soldier of the city defense in Yunzhou, and asked him to take his generals to Baguanli to meet him. Not long after the edict was sent to Zhuyunzhou, Hu Wei sent someone to send a letter back, saying that he would definitely wait for the holy car in Baguanli.
But now that the Jiangxia people have arrived not far from the Baguan Lipu, Tanma came back and forth, saying that there was no one in the Baguan Lipu. The generals who entered Yunzhou did not see it, and the people in Baguanli were not alone.
Such an abnormal situation naturally proves that something happened to Baguan Lipu and Iruyunzhou. After thinking about it, Jiang Xia decided to send a vanguard of 5,000 people to Yunzhou to check and make a decision after figuring out the specific situation.
This vanguard was led by a cadet from the Lecture Hall, and all of them rode forward on war horses, so that in case of an accident they could easily retreat. But this was only five days, and there was no news of the vanguard force.
From Baguanli to Zhuyunzhou, it should only take three days to come and go. Now there has been no news for five days, something must have happened. The Jiangxia people couldn't wait in Baguanlipu, and finally decided to take the army straight into Yunzhou to see what ghosts were in Yunzhou.
The location of the gate city in Iriyunzhou was very cleverly chosen, and when I didn't enter Iriyunzhou, it was Qingshui River on the left and Henggou Camp on the right. But the more you go into Yunzhou, the left of it is Daling Mountain, and the right is Shibi Mountain.
The Guancheng of Yunzhou is arranged in the middle of the two mountains, directly connecting the mountains of the two mountains. If you want to pass the level, there is no other way to go out and storm this road.
I don't know why, the more I walked towards the Guancheng in Yunzhou, the thin fog along the road became thicker and thicker. At the beginning of the year, Jiangxia thought that this fog was only formed here because of the cold weather. But when Jiang Xia estimated that according to the marching map, there were only less than twenty miles left before entering Yunzhou, and the fog along the way began to color. There seems to be a hint of scarlet in the tender green.
The soldiers in the army were a little sluggish when they first entered Iriyunzhou, but now many soldiers began to vomit, convuls, and fall into a coma. Some soldiers with weak constitutions died directly within an hour or two of being unconscious.
How could Jiang Xia not understand that the "fog" along the way was not an ordinary fog, but a poisonous fog containing highly poisonous. As we all know, if it is poisonous, it will always be weakened because it is too diluted. For example, if you put a highly poisonous Broken Gut Scatter in a certain water source, you can poison a few people in an hour or two at most.
After a few hours, the water will dilute the poison and the poison will be gone. And this poisonous fog has been maintained from the entrance to Yunzhou to the place where it is only less than twenty miles away from the Yunzhou Guancheng, and the toxicity has changed from weak to strong. It is enough to prove that there is a master of poison in the Guancheng of Yunzhou.
Among the rivers and lakes, Jiang Xia only knows two people who use poison so badly, one is Yi Crab, and the other is Ghost Three Needles. But neither of these two people could help the Tatars against him, so Jiang Xia could only guess that the poisoner in Yunzhou was from the Tatars.
The poisonous mist end is extremely powerful, and if you stay here, the soldiers will definitely suffer heavy casualties. So Jiang Xia had no choice but to retreat, and the army withdrew outside Ruyunzhou.
After encamping outside Yunzhou, Jiang Xia ordered someone to check the casualties of the soldiers. After a while, Qianjue Xing sent the statistics of the people below. Just now, more than 900 soldiers were poisoned by the poisonous mist, and even more were poisoned, more than 3,000 soldiers.
Faced with such data, Jiang Xia was also taken aback. If it weren't for the timely announcement of his retreat just now, could it be that the poisonous fog just now could have caused him to lose more than 10,000 troops?
In the camp of Jiangxia's main generals, all the generals in the middle army are here. The expressions on everyone's faces were a little solemn, their mid-lane army was responsible for the main battle, and the ideal situation was to destroy all the way, kill directly to Uliangha, and then join the other two armies.
But now, the army has encountered such a big problem before it has left the customs, which is really demoralizing.
Zhang Meng, who was standing behind Jiang Xia, scolded in his mouth: "Niang Xipi, do those barbarians know any demon methods, that fog is too evil." ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Hai Dayou hurriedly stopped Zhang Meng, he knew very well that if this kind of ghost and god theory reached the ears of the soldiers, it would definitely become more and more intense. In the end, the morale of the soldiers will plummet, with unmanageable consequences.
Zhang Meng has always been more frightened of the sea, after all, Haidayou's achievements are unfathomable, and he is too much higher. As soon as Haida said this, Zhang Meng hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and stopped talking.
Jiang Xia glanced back at Zhang Meng, and then said, "That's right, it is definitely not a demon technique, but a poisonous mist arranged by a poison master. You don't have to worry, I immediately sent someone to use the flying pigeon to inform the senior of the Hundred Herbs Wang Yi, and asked him to come here to help me. ”
"The emperor is wise. The generals said in unison.
The flying pigeon passed to the Beijing division overnight, and Yi Crab, who is now in charge of the entire Tai Hospital, did not delay at all after receiving the flying pigeon transmission from Jiang Xia, and immediately set off for the Yunzhou side. r1058
