Chapter 213 (18th Update) Seeing Du Qiuran away, Li Zhen was about to go upstream to take a look, when the stinky boy walked over: "Your Highness, we found a large number of footprints and felled trees in the woods by the river, the imprints are very fresh, definitely not more than half a month, which shows that there is very likely to be a small tribe nearby." ” "Tribes?
It's great to finally be able to take a break.
Li Zhen was overjoyed, although he had not encountered any danger along the way, but the climate in Nanyang was humid, and after walking in the jungle for a while, he felt that his clothes were wet and uncomfortable, if the situation was not clear, he would have found a place to roast the fire.
It's a surprise to find a tribe now.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen immediately ordered: "Find this tribe immediately, and then destroy them." ” "Yes."
The stinky boy replied loudly.
The tribe was soon found, and it was on a hillside not far from the river, with the mountains and water in the background, and the terrain was very advantageous.
It is a tribe that makes a living from hunting, and the men in the tribe are all strong warriors, and they are very strong in combat.
It's just that this toughness is relative to Nanyang, under the impact of the Young Army, it was almost crushed with one blow, and after a while, the Young Army retreated.
"Your Highness, those natives ran too fast, and the terrain was familiar, they all got into the woods, ran away without a trace, we didn't know the situation in the forest, we didn't dare to chase too deep, let them run away."
"It's okay, we're just here for a day's rest, there's no need to kill them."
Li Zhen said indifferently: "And what a pity to kill."
Make a note of this place, such a good place, after we leave, these natives should come back.
When we take possession of this place completely, these will be the strongest slaves. ” The stinky boy grinned: "Yes, the subordinates understand." ” After resting in the camp for a day, the Shenji Battalion has also driven out five hundred small boats, and put them in a group of ten, connecting them all in series, becoming a miniature version of the chain boat, such a chain boat is extremely buoyant, not to mention people, even elephants can bring it over.
With the help of a chain boat, the boys' army successfully crossed the Chao River and continued on their way.
But just as everyone crossed the chaotic river and prepared to march towards Yueshang City, dysentery broke out.
"Wait a minute, you're saying you're sick before you even get dressed?"
When Wang Can said this, Xue Rengui suddenly interrupted: "Since you are all infected, who beat Yueshang down?"
” "The subordinates haven't finished talking yet, please continue to listen to General Xue, and you will know the answer soon."
Xue Rengui also realized that he was a little anxious, and urged: "Then you can continue." ” "That's ......"
After the outbreak of dysentery in the army, only a small number of people were infected at first, but Li Zhen still realized that he had really been recruited this time, and when he ordered the troops to stop and rest in place, and isolate the infected patients, and then ordered the military doctor to start treatment.
It is said that Li Zhen's approach is correct, dysentery is not a big infectious disease, as long as it is detected and treated in time, it will basically not kill anyone.
But this time the dysentery is a little different from the previous dysentery, which was mainly transmitted through water and food, but this time the dysentery can be transmitted through the air, and the power is greatly increased, and the doctors who went to treat not only did not cure their disease, but were also infected themselves, and after coming out, they infected the pathogen to the rest of the people......
Caught off guard, most of the people in the army were infected, and Li Zhen was caught off guard at once.
But at this time, this army seemed to be discovered in the city of Yueshang not far away, so under the leadership of the city lord, an army of three thousand rushed towards the side of the young army.
"And the result?
You're all infected, who saved you?
Hearing this, Xue Rengui couldn't help but ask again.
"No one saved us, we saved ourselves."
"What do you mean?"
"As my subordinates said before, only most of the people infected with the plague were actually infected, and a small part was not infected, among which the most intact was the Shenji Battalion.
None of the more than 1,000 people in the Shenji Battalion were infected, and it was because of their existence that not only did we not damage the slightest, but instead killed all the city guards of Yueshang, and occupied Yueshang City. ” "Divine Machine Battalion?
yes, how did I forget that?
If any team is not infected, it can only be the Divine Machine Battalion.
Xue Rengui suddenly realized.
Unlike other battalions, the Shenji Battalion is a thermal-armed army with a large amount of gunpowder and explosives, which is very dangerous.
This also led to the fact that during the march, the Shenji Battalion basically could not walk with the main force, but hung far behind the main force, even if it was stationed in the camp, it had to be kept a certain distance from the main force, so as to ensure that even if the firearms in the Shenji Battalion exploded, it would not affect the safety of the main force.
However, now it seems that this regulation can not only ensure the safety of the main army, but also leave a breath of vitality for the young army at a critical moment - just think about it, according to the speculation of Gu Mingzi and other military doctors, the reason why the dysentery was infected this time, but the military doctors did not find it, it is very likely that the enemy planted the original body of dysentery on the indigenous people of the tribe and did not go into the water, so it was not observed by the microscope.
In the process of chasing and killing or transporting corpses, the boys' soldiers will inevitably come into contact with the natives, and in this way, they will be infected silently.
However, when other young soldiers were fighting with the natives, the Shenji Battalion was still working outside to make serial boats, not to mention resting in the tribe, and there was no time to catch their breath, so naturally they would not come into contact with the natives.
By the time the serial ship was finished, a day had passed, and the Boys Army had started a new journey, and the Shenji Battalion was once again hung far behind, still without contact with the main army, and was also not infected.
Under such circumstances, the Shenji Battalion became the most well-preserved army in the Young Army, and when the enemy attacked, it stood in front of all the brothers, successfully defeated the city guards of Yueshang City, and occupied Yueshang City, looting all the medicinal materials in the city.
With enough medicinal materials, coupled with the superb medical skills of the military medical battalion, it was only possible to delay the death of dysentery patients.
But it was just a matter of delaying time, and Li Zhen realized that if he didn't make a remedy, then maybe his five thousand people would really be explained here, but he was fighting deep into the enemy's territory, surrounded by enemies, isolated and helpless.
Li Zhen, who had no choice, had no choice but to give up Yueshang City, led the army to find a hidden place to lurk, and at the same time sent a book to Datang to tell the situation here, and on the other hand, he sent Fang Yiai to take a hot air balloon to Singha Buluo for help.

After saying what happened, Wang Can rejoiced: "That's the matter, General Xue is fortunate that you came in time, otherwise our losses this time would be great, I'm afraid even His Royal Highness will ......."
Xue Rengui said: "Anyway, the matter is over, with Dr.
Chen here, the lives of the brothers should be saved."
You take it to the quarantine area. ” "Yes, General, please."
