At the beginning, there were only a few such situations, and the herdsmen did not pay attention or pay attention to them. It was normal for a few dead sheep to appear in such a large flock.
Gradually, more and more sheep had problems. The herdsmen were afraid of losing their heads, so they chose to conceal the problem, did not report it, and secretly dealt with the sheep that had problems and died of illness.
But later, the plague of the sheep completely expanded and when it could no longer be concealed, the plague began to burn and spread like a fire throughout the sheep.
The herdsmen could no longer hide it and began to report it, but it was too late.
When Fan Di received this report, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately led the crowd to the rear logistics area to inspect the situation in person.
When he saw a large number of sick and dead sheep appearing among the sheep, Fan Di finally couldn't hold back the anger on his face.
"Dai Xuantong, please explain to me what is going on?" Fan Di angrily asked Dai Xuantong, the official responsible for logistics under his command.
Dai Xuantong knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Lord, coach, I, I am the only one who knows about these situations. Below, the untouchables below did not report the knowledge. They couldn't hide it, so they dared to tell me. After I knew the situation, I immediately
Reported to you." .??.
Fan Di was so angry that his chest boiled with anger. He resisted the idea of killing this guy and gritted his teeth and said, "Incinerate all the dead sick sheep immediately. Separate the sick sheep with symptoms. We can't let the plague continue to spread!"
"Yes Yes."
Dai Xuantong kowtowed quickly, and then retreated in a pissed off state.
By the time Fan Di started to remedy the situation, it was already too late. The plague had already spread and was difficult to control.
Anyone who has raised pigs knows that when a pig gets swine fever, almost all the pigs in the pig pen will be spared, and the final result may be that a year of hard work in breeding is in vain.
When Fan Di's people were only over a hundred kilometers away from Tianming City, the sheep supplies of the entire logistics force completely collapsed.
Fan Di made a desperate move and began to lead his men and horses to directly attack Xiang Chen's Tianming City, hoping to capture the Tianming City before the food supplies were exhausted, otherwise they would lose.
Xiang Chen led three million soldiers to launch a fierce defensive and siege battle with Fan Di's people in Tianming City.
On the other side, Yunxia.
On the river, a mighty fleet of ships moved slowly forward on the river.
Zhong Fu'an sailed on the river with thousands of large transport ships and nearly 10,000 small ships, with a navy of millions.
The ships escorted mainly food, and the larger number of troops was infantry. The infantry took the land route, just on both sides of the river, following the ships and the navy.
The ship entered a mountainous waterway. There were high mountains and cliffs on both sides of the river, which were extremely steep.
"Commander, after passing this more than 30 kilometers of Yunxia Gorge, the terrain ahead will be relatively flat. Our army troops can quickly follow up and enter Li Wangchen's southwest defense zone."
Zhong Fu'an's lieutenant pointed to the majestic Yun Gorge in front of him and said.
Zhong Fu'an said, "Fan Di's men will probably advance to Tianming City soon. I hope Li Wangchen won't be too fragile and be captured by this guy."
The deputy general said, "This time, tens of millions of troops from both sides are pressing down on the border. No matter how powerful Li Wangchen is, he can't stop such an overwhelming force with absolute superiority."
Zhong Fu'an snorted coldly, "This guy is arrogant and arrogant. Your Majesty the two think too highly of him. I don't believe that our eternal
Heavenly Palace cannot do without this guy!"
In the dense forest at the top of the cliff above Yun Gorge, Sun Xiangzhao was lying on the cliff, looking at the ships approaching in the distance, and said, "Let the people upstream be prepared. The enemy will enter Yun Gorge soon, and you can throw barrels."
"yes!"
Soon, the order was conveyed to the upper reaches of Yunxia, and many soldiers pushed huge wooden barrels into the water. The barrels were covered with grease.
A large number of wooden barrels were pushed and dropped into the water, densely packed and countless in number.
A large number of wooden barrels slowly floated downward along the river and entered Yun Gorge.
Zhong Fu'an's warship is mainly driven by manpower. Many people in the disembarkation cabin of the warship are stepping on the water wheel-like pedals. Through mechanical transmission, the wooden propeller under the bottom rotates, driving the warship to slowly go upstream against the current.
If there is wind assistance, the speed is very fast.
In some open areas on both sides, folk men will be recruited to help pull the boats.
Gradually, the entire fleet entered the Yun Gorge, forming a fleet of ships more than ten kilometers long. When the warship at the front was halfway through, it discovered that dense wooden barrels were floating on the river in front.
"General, many unknown wooden barrels were found floating towards our army ahead!"
After discovering this situation, the person at the front immediately reported it to Zhong Fuan, the commander in the center.
Zhong Fu'an said, "Barrel? Take it out and take a look."
"yes!"
The wooden barrel in front floated down and entered the river between the boats. Someone went to salvage it and dragged the barrel up for inspection. They found that the outside of the barrel was covered with grease.
Opening the barrel and checking, it was found that there was kerosene emitting a strong and pungent smell. This was a flammable and explosive liquid refined from tung oil and rosin, and was used when defending the city.
"It's kerosene!!"
"Report, it's kerosene!"
"What, kerosene!"
The general in charge of the salvage at the front was stunned for a moment, and then he realized something and shouted, "Quickly, salvage all these barrels and throw them on the shore!"
On the cliffs on both sides of Yun Gorge, Sun Xiangzhao sneered and said, "It's almost done, let the brothers do it!"
"yes!"
Someone immediately fired a cloud-piercing arrow into the sky. The cloud-piercing arrow soared into the sky and then exploded, forming fireworks.
The soldiers who saw this scene on the cliffs on both sides appeared one after another and pushed the barrels to roll down the cliff. On the cliffs on both sides, a large number of barrels suddenly rolled down towards the river below and rolled down the cliffs.
Some barrels were broken and cracked by impact, and a large amount of kerosene appeared inside.
This scene immediately alerted the sailors of the ship.
"There is an ambush, there are ambush on both sides of the cliff!!"
The alarm bells of the boat team suddenly rang. Zhong Fu'an's expression changed when he saw the many barrels rolling down the cliff, and he shouted, "Speed up and leave this canyon and move forward at full speed!"
Many wooden barrels rolled on the river, making a roaring sound.
A large number of people appeared on both sides of the cliff, holding bows and arrows. The arrows were wrapped in burning oilcloth, and they aimed at the boats below and the wooden barrels on the river.
In an instant, countless rockets shot like raindrops at the boats and barrels on the river. After the rockets hit the barrels, the grease on the surface of the barrels immediately burned, and the flames quickly covered the barrels.
Soon, the kerosene inside the burning barrel exploded, the kerosene exploded in all directions, and the surrounding area of the river turned into a sea of fire.
