Chapter 105: Peach Blossom Miasma

Now Wang Han can't laugh anymore!

Tigers were scared to pee by dogs, and many fierce beasts were directly scared to death. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This dog, what a good dog!

Mo Qilin was proud in his heart, and said in his heart what is the point of a dog barking! Labor and management can also bark at a cow! Facts have proved that many comics have mastered several foreign languages, and sometimes they have even forgotten their original native language!

Wang Han jumped down from the tiger's back, and shouted with a swing of the spear in his hand: "Withdraw!"

After saying that, he didn't even care about his own mount, so he just ran away.

The same is true of the main generals, let alone those ordinary soldiers. Originally, they had a shadow on the name Wen Zhong in their hearts, but now that the Lord would call for retreat, naturally no one resisted anymore, and retreated directly towards the city.

Lin Xing only shook his head when he looked at this messy scene, he was really a soldier, and he was a nest of bears. Did I chase you? Even if I wanted to, I didn't give the order! Why are you running so fast?

Lin Xing did not order the pursuit, now that the vanguard of the barbarian rout has not yet entered the city, he now orders the pursuit of the generals who are afraid that the defenders of the city will raise the drawbridge and close the city gate. In that way, the plan to seize the city by taking the opportunity failed, and it could only be regarded as a small victory, and it could not maximize the benefits and expand the fruits of the victory.

And if they are too far away from the barbarian army, the defenders will have a chance to close the gates, and may even be attacked by a rain of arrows. This time had to be mastered, and if necessary, Lin Xing even planned to personally eliminate some of the soldiers on the city's head, in case they raised the drawbridge.

"Shock!" The vanguard of the barbarian army has entered the city, and the follow-up people are in a steady stream, and even if the defenders want to close the city gate now, they will definitely be hindered by these people: everyone else has entered, why don't they let me in?

And the barbarian army running at the back was only a few dozen zhang away from the merchant army, and the cavalry could catch up with it in a few sprints. The two armies were mixed together, and the defenders at the head of the city did not dare to release their arrows: there may be their brothers among them, and they may injure their own people by mistake if they release arrows.

The barbarian guards at the head of the city saw the form clearly, and couldn't help but praise Wen Zhong in their hearts: this guy's vision is really poisonous, and his grasp of the fighter plane is too accurate!

Knowing that the general situation was gone, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers in the city to retreat. Those who have achieved great things, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, the wilderness is very big, and he is confident that he can drag the merchant army to death in it.

The speed of the retreat of the barbarian army in the city was very fast, and even if the merchant cavalry followed the scattered barbarian army into Ezhou City, they could only see their backs from a distance.

Lin Xing looked at the empty city, and couldn't be happy in his heart. He knew that he had met an opponent this time, and the general who could leave behind an empty city and retreat so decisively, he was afraid that his wisdom would not be under him. It is even possible to surpass him, at least not on his own.

In fact, Lin Xing didn't think he was too smart, at least he didn't have any talent in marching and fighting. All he relied on was his knowledge of history, his mastery of many war technologies that did not belong to the present, and the supernatural powers of monks.

Ezhou City was not too big, Lin Xing only left a few hundred people to guard, and by the way, let some wounded people recuperate here, and when the imperial court reinforcements arrived, they would point out the direction.

The direction of the army's advance is naturally Yongzhou City, where the barbarian king is located, which is also the direction of the barbarian army's retreat. Nanban is too big, there are as many as seven countries, and he is unwilling to conquer them all one by one, Lin Xing does not have the energy or the time.

As long as the barbarian king is allowed to submit, it is equivalent to subduing the seven southern barbarian countries, and there is no need to fight one country after another.

Although it is said that it is advisable to chase after the poor man, Lin Xing thinks that there is no need to chase too quickly. It was really forcing the enemy army into a corner, turning around and biting back, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, but it was not what he wanted. Just hang it slowly, put pressure on the barbarian army's spirit, let them collapse their nerves all day long, maybe they will collapse that day!

In fact, even if you want to chase it, you may not be able to catch up. The wilderness is mountainous, and the merchant army is not as familiar with the terrain as the barbarian army, so if you blindly pursue, you may fall into the trap of others, so it is better to be safe.

Just chased and caught up for about half a month, and there were no obstacles along the way. Nanban is originally vast and sparsely populated, and there are not as many cities as the Central Plains. Even if there are mountains in the middle, there are few checkpoints, and the Seven Kingdoms are already a leader, and there is no war between them, so naturally there are few fortifications.

Their biggest enemy was the Yin Shang, whether they symbolically set up an Ezhou city only on the border with the Celestial Empire, or whether they were temporarily built with mountain stones, and they had no defense at all.

There is no obstacle, the speed of the march is not slow these days, and it seems that it has entered the Bashu region, and it is only a few hundred miles away from Yongzhou.

At this time, the terrain is even more precipitous, and there are no proper roads in many places. Fortunately, there were barbarians leading the way, and as long as you followed their marching route, you would not lose your way.

However, as the merchant army went deeper into the wilderness, the problem gradually became apparent. It's okay to say that even if the logistics troops can't keep up, the existence of a cornucopia will not make the soldiers hungry.

The biggest problem was that the soldiers of the merchant army began to be unaccustomed to the water and soil, and the weather in the south was humid and rainy, which also made the soldiers in the north not very accustomed to it. Coupled with the harassment of mosquitoes, snakes and ants, these merchant troops, who were accustomed to the northern weather, were miserable.

Especially after camping for this day, most of the soldiers suffered from nausea and vomiting. Even Lin Xing himself felt slightly unwell, and the army had to stop to rest.

"The situation is a little wrong!" Lin Xing frowned and paced back and forth in the tent of the Chinese army, it stands to reason that his cultivation has reached the realm of earth immortals, and his physique is different from ordinary people, so there will be no ordinary diseases at all.

Now even he feels unwell, let alone these ordinary soldiers.

"It's really not right!" Zixia opened the door from outside the tent and entered: "I carefully observed the situation around me, it may be that we have entered the miasma swamp!"

"Miasma swamp?" Lin Xing stomped on the ground under his feet, feeling very real: "What are you kidding? If it's a swamp, won't you leak the army?"

Zixia said with a straight face: "I don't have the heart to mess with you! This place was originally supposed to be a swamp, but it was covered by the mud washed down from the mountain, and the vegetation below gradually developed a miasma!"

"Miasma?" Lin Xing scratched his head, as if he had heard of this name, but it usually appeared in martial arts novels, but he didn't expect to experience it in person this time.

Zixia nodded: "That's right! This miasma is in spring and autumn, like fog at night, and the sun melts, so it is not noticed by us." Judging from the performance of the sergeants, it should be peach blossom miasma, I asked carefully, and someone did smell a strange fragrance last night!"

"Don't talk nonsense! How to deal with it?" Now is not the time to show off your knowledge, once you have figured out the cause, you naturally have to find a way to deal with the aftermath.

Zixia sighed: "There is no solution! I can only leave here first, let them rest for a few days and get better naturally!"

"No solution?" Lin Xing's head is a little big, now so many people have been hit by miasma, in case the barbarian army comes over, don't they stretch their necks and wait for death?

Besides, the sergeants have long since lost their strength from vomiting and diarrhea, and how long will it take to get out?
