No matter how fast the horse runs, there is no flood that swept the world faster. Fortunately, Jiang Shangyan and his cavalry clearly knew that there was a barren mountain on the road they walked. The mountain was not too high, but at this time, it was enough to become their refuge.

When the last Yan on the river rode his horse up to the barren mountain, the flood roared past behind his butt. On the barren mountain, all the soldiers watched all this in a daze, but still did not come back from the shock. In the surging flood, there was naturally not just water, and the soldiers could see everything they could imagine.

Of course, the most common ones are people, dead people.

"I'm so crazy!" Jiang Shangyan sat on the ground without any image, pounding the ground with his hands, and said angrily. He knew very well that this was not a normal dam break, but a man-made dig and destroying the dam and releasing water.

The issue of Qingxiang River was naturally considered in the Ming Dynasty's prior war plan, but because the densely populated areas of Xiangzhou were under the threat of Qingxiang River, everyone naturally ignored this matter. From the king Qin Feng to ordinary generals, they didn't think that the Chu army would do such a thing.

The matter was obvious. When digging the river, the only function for the Ming army was to delay the speed of the Ming army's advance, but for the Chu people in Xiangzhou, this was a catastrophe. This was not a problem of tens of thousands of people, but tens of millions of people would suffer from disasters.

How could Jiang Shangyan not be angry if she thought the most impossible happened alive in front of her?

The whistling flood lasted for a whole day, and then slowly slowed down. After a night, the Qingxiang River finally returned to the river after pouring out its excess water flow. However, the northern part of Xiangzhou was already in the country.

The Yan of the River was riding a horse and trekking through the mud with difficulty. The horse's hooves were sank half a foot deep. The Qingxiang River broke the dam not only brought water, but also endless mud and sand. The original fields and roads disappeared. The most common ones were yellow, and then the corpses of people who fell to the ground were strangely shaped and fell to the ground. There were too many people dead, so many that the Yan of the River gave up the idea of ​​burying them. In such mud, digging a pit was not a simple thing, and they could only let them scatter their bodies outside.

In slightly lower-lying places, lakes with irregular shapes are now formed. In some places with special terrain, countless corpses of people and animals are piled up in these small lakes.

"General, we are very close to Fengcheng now. Do you want to attack them?" The deputy general walked to Jiang Shangyan's side and asked in a low voice. "I guess there is a lot of chaos now. The city will not be as severe as the disaster outside. If we attack with a surprise attack, we can grab the supplies we urgently need."

A flood naturally looted the Yan on the river. Now, he and his soldiers are really clean except for war horses, weapons, and some dry food they carry.

Jiang Shangyan shook his head: "If you don't fight, retreat, let's go to meet with Suqian first. Such muddy land will greatly limit our mobility and combat capabilities. For the infantry of the Chu army, the impact will be smaller. One rises and the other falls, which will be detrimental to me. In addition, if such a disaster occurs, the surviving people will inevitably concentrate in the city. When we go to Fengcheng now, we are afraid that what we can see is the people who surround the city densely!"

"I'm afraid that the person outside will die too much!" The deputy general looked at the scene around him and shrugged.

"There are indeed many deaths, but most people will survive in the end." Jiang Shangyan sighed, "This is another big trouble!"

He stopped under a big tree and looked up at the branch. There were two dead people there. A woman with clothes that was almost uncovered was holding the trunk tightly with one hand, while the other was holding a child about three or four years old, riding on the branch. The two had been dead for a long time, but the woman's hands were still holding the trunk and her son tightly, and she did not let go until her death.

"Take them down and bury them!" Jiang Shangyan sighed and left.

"I was crazy!" Qin Feng fell down anger and beat the big case in front of him into pieces. He had just crossed the Gaoliang River before he set up his camp and received news that the Qingxiang River had broken the dike and the entire northern part of Xiangzhou was completely affected.

"Your Majesty, the northern part of Xiangzhou is almost all the country. Wherever we see, there are corpses everywhere. Some villages and towns are almost dead. The flood comes too fast and too sudden, and there is not much room for escape. The terrain in Xiangzhou is originally flat, and the river breaks the dam, like wild horses that break out of borders and are out of control. Based on the information we have collected in the past two days, I am afraid that there will be 100,000 people who are killed or injured." Tian Kang said with a gloomy face.

"Sun Chenglong, I must cut you into pieces!" Qin Feng's face was so gloomy that water almost dripped out. "How about Jiang Shangyan and the others?"

"General Jiang's troops were lucky enough to escape, and they were not seriously injured. However, now they no longer have the power to fight again and are slowly withdrawing. It is expected that they can return to the camp the day after tomorrow." Tian Kang said.

Qin Feng nodded. This flood was indeed beyond his expectations. He never expected that Sun Chenglong would really do this. Of course, this flood was not only delayed the speed of the Ming army, but also hidden something even more sinister.

Spring is the season when all things grow and grass grows and flys. It is loved by literati and poets. But at the same time, this season is also a season when epidemics are rampant. If you do not respond properly after a flood, it will inevitably be epidemics. Compared with the losses caused by battlefield fighting, epidemics are the biggest enemy.

"Tian Kang quickly sent a message back to Yuejing City and told Shu Chang about the situation here, so that he must draw more doctors, raise more herbs, and arrive in Xiangzhou as quickly as possible. For all other things, make way for this matter first." Qin Feng ordered.

"As for the order." Tian Kang immediately turned around and left the tent.

"Suqian, you have been here for a long time and are more familiar with the situation here. Send people out to find if there are any kilns for burning limes around. If not, your army will build a few for me by themselves, and burn more limes in the shorter the time. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Suqian nodded.

"Send the order to Jiang Shangyan so that he does not have to rush back to the base camp. The supplies he needs will be sent to him. From now on, his troops will quickly collect all the bodies he saw and bury them." Qin Feng knocked on the table and said, "At the same time, tell him to be careful that the disease will infect his soldiers."

"Ruijin Camp and Canglang Camp are moving forward slowly. Wherever they pass, the first priority is to prevent epidemics. During this period, each army must collect as much herb as possible and pay attention to health and epidemic prevention as much as possible. Every general soldier must open his eyes to me. As long as the first case of epidemics occurs, it will grow like weeds after spring. If one is not prevented well, it will be a disaster."

"Abide by the order!" All the generals in the tent obeyed the order with stern apology.

"In order to delay my advance, Sun Chenglong ignored his bad reputation for not paying attention to his tense for thousands of years. Well, I fulfilled his wish. Ruijin Camp, Canglang Camp, and Miner Camp are advancing towards Xiangshan Fortress. I want to flatten Xiangshan Fortress and then flatten his Xiangzhou City." Qin Feng said sharply.

The current situation has caused the Ming army to quickly split the defensive base in Xiangzhou to lose its plan. The harsh natural conditions have become the biggest obstacle to the Ming army's advance, and the most suitable attack is also the place where Sun Chenglong wants the Ming army to go, which is Xiangshan Fortress.

Sun Chenglong originally planned to let the Ming army shed enough blood in front of Xiangshan Fortress.

On the north bank of Gaoliang River, the logistics camp in Suqian has been rebuilt and has become the logistics camp of the entire Ming army. Of course, the wounded barracks are also established here. The captured Chu soldiers have now become coolies, and under the surveillance of the Ming army, they have built a logistics camp. This logistics camp is naturally no longer just a simple wooden fence, but is built with earth walls and truly built it into a fortress.

The consultant walked into Ji Cheng's tent with a bowl of black medicine. He put the medicine into Ji Cheng's hand with an extremely ugly face and said angrily: "Drink it!"

Ji Cheng looked at him with some confusion and smelled the smell: "It's different from what I had done a few days ago!"

"I'm afraid I'll poison you!" the consultant said angrily.

After hearing what the consultant said, Ji Cheng tilted his neck instead, Gudu Gudu drank a bowl of medicinal soup cleanly.

"You know your identity!" The consultant snatched the bowl.

"What happened?" Ji Cheng asked. These days, consultants often came to chat with him. Their two mortal enemies have become friends who can talk to you. "Earlier, someone had some lime spilled into our house." He pointed to the white residual seals in the house.

"Thank you, Marshal Sun!" The consultant sneered: "He dug up the Qingxiang River and a flood rushed over. I heard that no less than 100,000 people died in Xiangzhou. Tsk, corpses are everywhere. Now our army is busy burying the bodies! You Marshal Sun is really poisonous. You can do this kind of killing one hundred enemies and losing ten thousand of them."

Ji Cheng's face turned snow-white in an instant.
