Chapter 52: Halfway to the mountain city

As soon as Alayanzong woke up, the sky was already dawning, and he walked out of the grass nest to stretch his muscles and bones.

He vaguely heard the sound of people shouting and neighing, and when he looked at the mountain town of Vikchi, he was stunned for a moment.

The black press was full of people, surrounding the castle. What an army!

Seeing the Centaur Army Flag moving, it must have been just arrived, and the Vikchi Mountain City was in a catastrophe!

Fortunately, all the displaced people fled yesterday evening, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!

The army has only arrived now, so why did someone say yesterday that an army was coming?

It is impossible for the Central Plains to be known by the Alayanzong, and the army that came was the army of the royal division led by the old general Mo Humoer.

The old general Mommor left from Allah's coastal city-state and headed north.

The mountain roads were rough and narrow, the march was slow, and heavy rain on the road forced the army to stop and find shelter from the rain.

There was a torrential rain in the spring, and Mo Hu Moer lived for nearly seventy years, and he still didn't remember meeting it.

And that's not all, and then there was another rainstorm. After encamping, lightning and thunder roared, and for two days and two nights, the army could not march, and all the supplies were soaked.

After the weather clears, the whole army will dry the supplies, especially the military rations, if they are not dried, they will inevitably become moldy and deteriorate.

Heavy rain delayed the trip, and colds became prevalent in the army again.

Perhaps because of the heavy rain, many soldiers sneezed and had runny noses, and some even had a high fever. This is too busy for the accompanying military doctors.

The biggest headache is that the old general Mo Moer also caught a cold. At first it was just a headache, and the person had no spirit. On the first day he could march on horseback, but the next day he could sit in a carriage.

The key is that the cold of the soldiers greatly affected the speed of the march, and it was difficult to march on the mountain road, but now it can only walk twenty or thirty miles a day.

The old general Mo Er began to have a fever and fell asleep, so Mo Hu took over from his father to lead the army.

The current situation is extremely grim, and more and more soldiers are suffering from colds, and if this continues, the whole army may be infected.

Mo Hu divided the army into two parts, those who had a cold and those who did not have a cold, separated from each other, and decided to camp and rest.

A few days later, General Mo's condition finally improved, and the high fever had subsided, but he was still not very energetic and still sleepy.

After the garrison rested, the condition of the soldiers suffering from the cold also improved, a small number of them were fine, and most of them still had a cough.

At this moment, the royal decree came from the city of Moxu.

The purpose is that because of the exiles entering the city, the plague broke out in the mountain city of Vikchi, and many Li people died, and their lives were difficult, bandits and bandits were repeated, and order was chaotic. Prince Mohu Moer and the general of the protector led the army to go and have full authority to rectify.

1. Prevent displaced people from fleeing again and settle down the people's livelihood.

2. Treat the sick and resume production.

3. Garrison the city-state and maintain law and order.

In addition, dozens of imperial doctors are already on the way to treat diseases and prevent epidemics, and save people from fire and water.

The old general Mohumo Mor received this royal decree with unusual confusion, which was completely different from the attitude of the king who had dealt with the epidemic in the coastal city-state of Allah.

That time was a slaughter of the city! He once tried to persuade the imperial court not to slaughter the city, but he was strongly opposed by his own nephew. Why did you change sex this time?

Although the old general Mo Humo Moer was still weak, his mind was unusually clear.

What he was worried about before, those people who had been let him go on purpose, their lives were saved, at least they would not be slaughtered again, which made him feel a little relieved. It would be even better if we were lucky enough to survive the pandemic.

He also inquired about the current situation of influenza in the army. Mo Wei is infinitely truthful.

The old general Mo Humo thought for a moment, and then adjusted his previous plan to divide his troops.

Let the fourth son, Mo Hu, lead 2,000 soldiers without worry, including those who have been suffering from the flu, and stay behind, and then lead the team to return north after his condition improves, go to the East Sea City of Accra, and garrison there.

Let the eldest son Mo Hu and the third son Mo Hu walk with him without worry, and lead the army to the mountain city of Vikchi to carry out the king's decree.

Mo Wei received the order infinitely, and went out to make arrangements.

The old general Mohumo Moer brought his own entourage and asked them to go to inquire about the situation of the mountain city of Vikchi, and informed the people that the army of the royal division would arrive later to take over and manage the mountain city, and the imperial doctor would also arrive to treat the people.

A few relatives followed the order and rode away first.

The crowd dispersed, and Mohumo went about in his tent, puzzled by his nephew, who was the king. Why do you have two different attitudes towards the same thing, can it be said that he has a good heart and has changed his previous violent style?

Perhaps he felt that the massacre of the city was unpopular with the people, and according to his previous thoughts, it was absolutely effective in controlling the epidemic, but it was extremely detrimental to the stability of the country, so he changed his approach?

Believing that his analysis was correct, General Moumore firmly believed in his conclusions and believed that this was the case.

The army set up camp and marched westward. Only Mo Hu was left to lead the troops to temporarily stationed on the spot.

On the march, the old general Mohumo was very tired on his horse on the first day, and after walking less than ten miles, he returned to the carriage. On the third day, he was fine, and he was finally able to march on horseback again.

The army had already left the mountains, and in front of it was the plain of Mowh. Seven or eight days to the north is the Bearded King.

Turn west to south, and walk for another four or five days to reach the mountain town of Vikchi.

After walking on the plains for less than two days, they turned south into the mountains.

Because he was concerned about the safety of the people, he accelerated the speed of the march, was hungry and thirsty, stayed overnight, camped late and got up early, much faster than usual, and could shorten the journey by two or three days.

The retinue sent has not yet returned.

On this day, when the sun was about to set, the army caught up with the imperial doctor.

The old general Mohumo Moer ordered to set up camp, bury the pot and cook, rest early, march early, and arrive at the mountain city of Vikchi tomorrow morning.

At midnight, several fast horses took advantage of the moonlight to come from the southwest, and it was his personal entourage.

When he listened to the report of his own soldiers, the old general Mo Mo Mo sighed.

It turned out that the pro-soldiers rushed to the outskirts of Vikchi Mountain City near evening, which was about the same time as the arrival of several people from the Alayan Sect.

It was also surprising to see thousands of displaced people gathered outside the city. In order not to cause panic, they led the horses into the woods and hid them, changed the clothes of the people, and then went to the crowd to find out the news.

The news soon arrived, but when they said that Wang Shi's personal soldiers would soon arrive here to solve problems and arrange livelihoods for the people and restore production order, the surrounding displaced people did not believe it at all.

They did not know that these exiles had fled from the city-state of Allahweihai, and before fleeing, they knew that the king's own soldiers had gone to slaughter the city.

This time, the displaced people still thought that the army was coming to slaughter the city, so they ran to tell each other, and the rumors spread suddenly, causing panic among the people.

So the people began to flee again.

When the people knew that the officials and soldiers were coming from the nearest road to the royal city, they all avoided it and ran to the most difficult mountain road.

Several pro-soldiers were very helpless and felt that the situation was extremely serious, so they returned overnight and made a report.

The old general Mo Humo was even more anxious, he commanded a large army, and he couldn't control the panicked homeless. Afraid of another accident in the mountain city, he set off for the mountain city of Vikchi overnight.
