Tomorrow, a war against the Shi people in Toad Ridge was going to start. At this time, Abuda and others couldn't sleep. Several people gathered in the tent to pass the time by chatting.

Abuda asked: "Mr. Dong, do you say that when Prince Gu led a 300,000 army here, why didn't he take over the Shi Kingdom in one go?"

Dong Shucheng sighed and said, "It's a fate. When I was in the capital, I read the information about the battle in Wanling County. When Prince Gu led a large army to attack Wanling County, he had been smooth sailing. He defeated the army of Shi Kingdom and almost made the people of Shi Kingdom bow down to their superiors.

However, the officers and soldiers who participated in the war with Prince Gu were all northerners. Because they were not accustomed to the soil and water, many of them lost their combat capabilities less than two months after the war started.

In fact, it is not the most terrifying thing to be unacceptable to the local environment. According to the military records of that year, a great plague occurred in Wanling County, and many people lost their lives. The ancient prince had to let the army retreat as soon as possible, but in the end it was still one step too late, and the plague had spread in the army.

That year, not counting the officers and soldiers who died in the battle in Wanling County, the deaths caused by the plague alone amounted to more than 300,000, including more than 100,000 migrant workers.”

"Where did the plague come from?"

Abuda asked.

"No one records where the plague came from. It is said that the plague came very suddenly and neither side of the war expected it.

After the war, people were talking about it, some people said it was God's punishment for the Great Jin Dynasty, and some people said that the Shi Kingdom deliberately put the plague on the battlefield in order to resist the Great Jin Dynasty's army.

Of course, some people say that at the beginning of the war, some people were not adapting to the local environment, which was probably the initial manifestation of the plague, but no one paid attention to it at that time.

In that war that year, the Jin Dynasty not only lost more than 200,000 troops, but also more than 100,000 migrant workers. The pace of expansion of the Jin Dynasty to the south had to be stopped.

The locals in Wanling County also suffered heavy losses. At that time, the locals in Wanling County claimed to have 100,000 warriors, but after that war and plague, the locals in Wanling County lost two-thirds of the population.

Many people saw that they could not resist the plague, so they had to hide deep in the mountains. Until now, many people dared not come down from the mountains."

When Abuda heard Dong Shucheng talk about the plague that year, he felt a numbness in his body and asked carefully: "Mr. Dong, how is the epidemic prevention situation in our army now? Don't happen again in the past."

Dong Shusheng smiled and said, "When the army set off, County Magistrate Li brought a lot of lime. After the camp was settled, I had someone sprinkled quicklime all around the camp.

In addition, the army is equipped with a large amount of alcohol and medicine. Once someone is found to be in poor health, they can immediately reduce fever and prevent inflammation.

If it really doesn't work, take the Wuwei Qingwen Powder that Dr. Liu just developed, which is said to prevent the spread of the plague."

"If Dr. Liu is here, I'll be relieved!"

After hearing this, Abuda felt a little relieved, looked around, and then asked, "Why haven't you seen Dr. Liu these days?"

Dong Shucheng smiled and said, "You have been too busy recently. I guess you have forgotten. Doctor Liu is going to the prisoner-of-war camp to see someone. He even said to you at that time, and you agreed."

"Yeah?"

Abuda smiled, "Maybe I'm too busy!"

Dong Shucheng remembered another incident and said to Abuda: "When the army set off, County Magistrate Li and Lord Zhang also told me that the weather was hot, so the body would be exposed for too long. If the harm of burying the soil cannot be damaged, try to burn it with fire."

Abuda also knew the horror of the plague and said to Dong Shucheng: "If you arrange this matter, you must not act carelessly. If someone disobeys, it must be enforced."

Dong Shucheng nodded in agreement, "The war will start tomorrow. I wonder how many people will lose their lives because of this war?"

The next morning, the two thousand vanguard troops of the Shi Kingdom came over. Due to Abuda's order, everyone watched the vanguard troops of the Shi Kingdom pass through Toad Ridge, and then turned a corner, and disappeared.

Many people couldn't help but wanted to jump up several times, but when they thought of the military rules of the Wanling County army, they sat down again discouraged.

Seeing that the vanguard of Shi Kingdom had disappeared, Abuda began to ask Tuhu who had returned from exploring the way, "Where has the army of Shi Kingdom been?"

Tuhu scratched his head and said, "Tong A, these Shi people are not very real. The vanguard army has passed, but I am still worried.

Now the entire army is divided into two parts. The first part is almost at Toad Ridge and is about to enter the ambush circle.

But another part of the army was still five miles away, waiting for the previous part of the army to pass before coming over."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. This was different from what they had originally expected. Even Abuda and Dong Shucheng sighed: "The people of Shiguo are not just stupid people!"

Seeing the many generals looking at them, Abuda and Dong Shucheng looked at each other, and then said in unison: "No matter what the Shi Kingdom army is behind, we will destroy the former part of the Shi Kingdom army first!"

After saying that, Abuda asked people to go to Toad Ridge to pass orders, and then attacked after hearing the military order.

Because there was a vanguard army exploring the way forward and passing by, nothing happened.

So the army behind also relaxed and someone took action soon.

In front were more than 200 elephants. Driven by elephant soldiers, they walked towards Toad Ridge step by step with steady steps.

Behind the elephant soldiers are more than 2,000 cavalry in leather armor, followed by swords and spearmen, and shield soldiers surround the army.

Finally, there are tens of thousands of people who transport baggage.

The entire army dragged on for a long time. If these people were allowed to go like this, it would probably be that after the people in front passed Toad Ridge, the baggage troops behind might not all enter Toad Ridge.

"Don't worry about the baggage army behind, and then eliminate the front army first."

Abuda immediately made a decision, and then someone sounded the order to attack.

There was a roar of roaring sounds on the opposite hill, and thick smoke rolled. All the officers and soldiers of Wanling County knew that this was the divine cannon that began to show their power.

Soon, the shells shot out from the Shi Kingdom's army, leaving behind long blood channels.

On the passage of Toad Ridge, there are steep peaks on one side and deep canyons on the other.

Many people in Shi watched the shells fly over, trying to hide without a place to hide.

The generals of the Shi Kingdom's army were very anxious. On the one hand, they made the elephant army and cavalry in front rush, and on the other hand, they shouted loudly that the people behind were retreating quickly.

After the cannon, many stones were thrown from the cliff, which directly killed many people in the Shi Kingdom.

And the thrown stones suddenly blocked the retreat behind.

Many people in Shi were stunned. Now they are moving forward but cannot move forward. Is there a way to retreat?

If you can't move forward, it's better to have no way to get back, so the generals of the Shi Kingdom Army were anxious and jumped off the horse and led all the Shi Kingdom army forward, no longer afraid of the cannons in front.

The cannons in Wanling County continued to roar, and a large number of shells exploded in the Shi Kingdom army. The people of Shi Kingdom were killed and injured, and many war horses rushed down the valley in fright.

Even the elephant army in front was not easy. The elephant soldiers went to dodge bombs, leaving only the unmanned elephant, still rushing towards him like crazy with his loud voice.

In dealing with such a behemoth, the traps and tripping ropes set up by tribes are of no use at all.

Seeing that these elephants were about to rush across Toad Ridge, Abuda shouted directly.

"Shoot the arrow!"

With Abuda's shout, thousands of arrows were shot at the elephant herd and the Shi people behind them.

Although the sharp crossbow shot the elephant all over his body, it could not stop the crazy elephant from rushing forward.

The leader of the Shi people behind also saw the opportunity and let the cavalry behind him also dispatched.

The war horses of these Shiguo people have been with the elephants for a long time, and are not afraid of the elephants. They launched an offensive under the whipping of the Shiguo people.

For a moment, the Shi people really seized the opportunity, and a small number of elephants and cavalry rushed across Toad Ridge.

Seeing this situation, Abuda had to prevent the officers and soldiers from jumping out, isolate the Shi people's army, and then divide his troops to deal with the Shi people's army in front and behind.

Suddenly, Toad Ridge turned into a large slaughterhouse, with bloody scenes everywhere, and everyone's ears were filled with the screams of soldiers' death.

At the end of the battle, both the people of Wanling County and the people of Shiguo began to fight hand in hand, simple and rough, and the death and injury rate rose sharply.

The people of Shi Kingdom were anxious, and Abuda was even more anxious. He saw that there were already cavalry coming to Toad Ridge behind the Shi Kingdom army. Once the Shi Kingdom army behind him entangled the army in Wanling County, the situation would be extremely unfavorable to the people of Wanling County.

Abuda roared and rushed down the hill. Now he didn't care about so much, so he wiped out the Shi people who fell in Toad Ridge first.

With the addition of officers and soldiers of Abuda and other people, the Shi people were outnumbered, most of them were annihilated and captured, and the remaining people jumped down the valley regardless of the danger.
