A team walked on the winding road in Laifeng County with difficulty. The leader was Xiao Xin, the son of Xiao Qiang, the guardian of Hulao Pass of Qin. The fastest update. As the vanguard of the entire army, Xiao Xin led 3,000 troops out of Hulao Pass for seven days, but he had not yet walked out of Feng County.

The Ming Dynasty Battle broke out early, and everyone was caught off guard. For Xiao Qiang, he was even more busy, and his food, grass and weapons were not fully prepared. Fortunately, his opponent was Yongping County, where there were no regular field troops of the Ming Dynasty except the county soldiers. So although all kinds of supplies were still in short supply, Xiao Qiang still handed over the only supplies at hand to Xiao Xin, and he would attack Yongping County first.

In Xiao Qiang's opinion, this is a game of holding hands. Even though he had received information, several field battalions under Qin Feng were heading towards Zhongping County. But what does this have to do with him? He would not go to Zhongping. He would take Yongping, where to get the food and other supplies he needed, and then go directly to fight Shunping. As for Zhongping, let Qin Feng and Deng Pu fight to death.

This time, Qin Feng was doomed. This was the conclusion that Xiao Qiang came to after carefully analyzing all aspects of information. In Zhongping County, it is impossible for Qin Feng to defeat Deng Pu alone. After this battle, the Ming Kingdom would probably be destroyed. The Deng family's limelight will inevitably be gone for a while. However, he will be one of the winners of this battle. Even if he only won the two counties of Yongping Shunping, it would be a fruitful result for him.

Xiao Qiang was still trying hard to raise food, grass and weapons in the rear. He knew that opposite him, Cheng Weigao had noticed his movements. The barely-passed business road had been cut off. In nearly a month, no merchant came from where he came. The spy rewarded him and the road he had already built was cut off. This shows that the other party had begun to guard himself.

In Xiao Qiang's view, this was just the last struggle of the dying person.

He thought so, but his son, Xiao Xin, is now struggling to move forward in Feng County, not so.

Xiao Xin was cursing at this moment.

The mountain roads are rugged and the roads are coming. Marines are originally a very difficult thing. The army of 5,000 people is not only 5,000 people, but also logistics supplies, mules and horses, and various heavy weapons. People are easy to leave, but these things are difficult to leave. What is even more frustrating is that a heavy rain has completely turned this marching into a disaster.

Xiao Xin turned into a clay man. When he set out from Hulao Pass, his body had a new armor, which had now turned yellow. When he wore it, it had become a burden. The boots on his feet were filled with mud. Every step he took, it made a squeaking sound. The effort it took was more than twice as much as usual. If you don’t have to take off your boots, Xiao Xin knew that his feet must have been soaked in miserable light now.

This is true for me, let alone other soldiers. When they set off, the soldiers were wearing straw sandals, but now almost all of them have become barefoot boards, or they will walk more easily, but they are more likely to be injured. The sharp stones and plant thorns buried in the mud can easily pierce the soles of their feet.

If all these can be overcome, then another thing will make Xiao Xin helpless. Even if the Qin army is the most hard-working soldier in the world, it will not be able to withstand the invasion of diseases.

A heavy rain fell for several days, ruining the already poor road and wet his soldiers. Then there was another scorching sun. Before everyone could get used to it, the continuous rainy days followed. The drastic changing weather made the soldiers fall ill and get sick from one after another. This was a fatal thing for the Qin army.

"Major General, a mountain torrent broke out in front of him, blocking his way, and he couldn't walk!" A general staggered over. Like Xiao Xin, he also turned into a mud monkey.

"Isn't there a bridge here marked on the intelligence?" Xiao Xin was furious, "What kind of shitty information?"

"Major General, you blamed them wrongly." Yajiang smiled bitterly: "The bridge was originally there, but it was destroyed by Ming people. Now that the mountain torrent has occurred, we may not be able to get through today."

Listening to the words of Yajiang, Xiao Xin was stunned for a while, turned around and looked at the soldiers who were tilting around, and sighed: "Camp on the spot, let's take a day off! We will set off again when the mountains and rivers fade away."

The Qin ** team is not like the Ming ** team. Apart from their Thunder Army's well-equipped Thunder Army, the rest of the army and military tents are luxury for them, especially the border troops, which have always been used as beds for the ground. Of course, their skills are also good. After the camping order was issued, the Qin army, who had struggled for several days, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. The entire team burst into cheers. It didn't take long to take materials on the ground and shacks appeared on both sides of the road. Even so, this could only be better than nothing. The ground was still extremely muddy, and the shacks were wet and dripping water down. However, the Qin army was already very satisfied with such a temporary habitat.

A pile of fires were burned. It was really hard to burn these wet wood and leaves. There was thick smoke rolling over the entire station. Fortunately, there was no enemy on their side, otherwise even the blind man would know where they were now.

Taking off his armor, put on a set of dry clothes, and sitting on the stool, Xiao Xin placed his feet in the hot water that his personal soldiers had just burned. He was so comfortable that he just wanted to moan. Things that he felt ordinary in this place became a rare enjoyment.

As expected, big bubbles were ground on his feet. Boots were good boots, but they were filled with mud, slipping and twisting, so how could they not be ground? I had a war horse, but where could I ride on such a road? The horse would break its hooves if it accidentally.

Holding a peppercorn thorn found by his personal guard, Xiao Xin carefully picked up blood blisters, grinning in pain. He started a lot of fire and roasted his close clothes for him. In this ghost place and in this ghost weather, no piece of clothing on his body could be dry. He lifted up his clothes and saw a layer of red rash on his body, Xiao Xin looked at his soldiers with some worry.

The army at Hulao Pass is not an inexperienced new recruit, but the difficulties encountered in this marching are still seriously insufficient.

"Go and call Medical Officer Hao." He ordered.

Seeing the fifty-year-old medical officer Hao Min squatted in front of Xiao Xin with a frown, she said to herself without waiting for Xiao Xin to ask questions: "Major General, this is not possible. Today, more than fifty soldiers fell down. They were all extremely severe typhoid fever, and there was no medicine for Beiyi. They could only go to the mountains to collect some fresh herbs temporarily, but this is far from enough. Some of the symptomatic medicinal materials can not be found at all. Whether these soldiers can survive depends entirely on luck."

"How many soldiers have fallen down in total?" Xiao Xin asked.

"To this day, more than 200 soldiers have entered the injured camp. This is not the case for those with mild symptoms and cannot be improved. I am afraid that the situation will become more and more serious." Hao Min shook his head and said, "Major General, this is just a serious illness, and there are countless minor illnesses. In this kind of weather, what I worry about most is the plague."

Xiao Xin's face changed slightly, "Thank you for your hard work in medical officer. No one expected that this time I would encounter such a big trouble. I will send you some soldiers and try to collect more herbs. Is the plague really possible to break out?"

"It's hard to say that it would be better if the rain kept falling. If the weather suddenly clears up and the weather gets hotter again, it's really hard to say. I hope the rain will continue to fall." Hao Min sighed.

Xiao Xin smiled bitterly. Hao Min was looking forward to the rain, but he was looking forward to the clear sky. If the rain continued to fall, how could he march?

Seeing Hao Min leaving with his back hunched over, Xiao Xin wiped his feet dry, put on a pair of soft boots, stood up, looked up at the sky, which was gloomy, I was afraid that the rain would not stop for a while.

For a moment, he suddenly lost the belief in winning the war and walked out of Laifeng, but there was also Xuan'en County, which was also a mountainous area. Only when he walked out of Xuan'en could he attack Yongping County. If he had an army like him, would he really have any attack power when he walked out of this mountainous area?

"Major General, Major General." A general rushed from a distance, stepped on the ground, and mud flew everywhere. Looking at the general's face, Xiao Xin's face couldn't help but sink. Good fortune was not done, and disaster was not alone. What bad news came?

Yajiang ran to the front, his face full of panic and panting, but he tried his best to lower his voice: "Major General, no, our logistics supplies have collapsed, and half of the entire logistics supplies have been buried under the mountain. Not only were hundreds of people killed, but half of the food and weapons were buried."

Just like the five thunders thunders, Xiao Xin's face turned pale. He was worried about this problem just now. Because the trip was greatly extended, the food and grass had become a big problem, but now half of it was lost. I really can't live this life.

"How long can the rest last?"

"Five days, Major General, up to five days." Yajiang whispered.

"This news is blocked first. You can immediately choose a reliable and capable person, rush back to Hulao Pass, report to the general about our predicament, and ask the general to make an idea as soon as possible." Xiao Xin said.

"I understand." Ya nodded and left.

Looking at the smoke rising in the garrison and the food brought to him by his personal soldiers, Xiao Xin, who was originally hungry, had no appetite at all. If there is still something to eat today, will he still have to eat in a few days? With such marching conditions, how can the subsequent food and grass be kept up?
