Chapter 170 narrow road

Under the shock of this iron-blooded method, the situation was immediately controlled. Although some of them may not be able to die, in such a time when disaster breaks out, there are some things that need not be cared about.

Once the turmoil in the city eased, a large-scale immigration wave began. Crowds of citizens, regardless of whether they were ready or not, rushed to escape from the city.

It seems that there is something terrible in the city that you will catch up with them.

Dimit did not stop these people, nor did he stop them. Their spirits were in a state of tension for a long time. Now they finally saw the last straw and could never give up easily.

If anyone stops them at this time, it may cause greater riots and cause a large number of deaths.

Nearly 100,000 disaster-stricken refugees fled San Marino, some of which escaped from Rome and Pescara and other places. They gathered together to form a huge refugee wave.

From here, it is three days to the Pohe Line, but this refers to the speed of riding a horse. If you only walk, the time will be extended to ten days.

Ten days are not long or short. If it is the National Day holiday, it feels like it has passed in an instant, and there is no time to reminisce.

But these ten days will appear extremely long when placed in the cold wilderness.

The refugees who escaped from San Marino and those who escaped from Florence gathered first, and then spread out, scattered in the mountains at the northernmost end of the Italian Peninsula.

Including the fleeing crowds in the village, the total number reached 300,000, including men and women, old and young, most of which were moving forward together.

Three hundred thousand, this is a huge number, which can be scattered in the vast mountainous area under your feet, but it seems scattered and there is no gathering of too large people.

In this way, the thugs were given an opportunity to take advantage of.

Dimit's iron-blooded method in San Marino did not kill all the thugs, and a large part of them disappeared into the mountains outside the city as the crowd left the city.

Then, these thugs began to gather and quietly killed the ordinary people who were rushing alone, plundering their property and food. Those who dared to resist would directly kill them on the spot, and their bodies were thrown on the side of the road.

Countless poor people were rushing to the road in the cold, hunger and worry about robbery, and were in panic all day long. However, the robbers lived a very comfortable life, eating and drinking every day, living a comfortable life, and at the same time, they also accumulated considerable wealth.

Gold coins shine in people's eyes. Most of these robbers were at the bottom of society in the past and could not see any day of turning things around. Now, taking advantage of this great disaster, we have seen a good opportunity to make a fortune.

Therefore, for them, this was not a disaster at all, but rather a good opportunity given by heaven. The disaster area has also become a rare treasure land for them.

After Dimitro handled the San Marino incident, he began to lead the team to the Pohe defense line. Along the way, he also noticed the traces of these robbers. Unfortunately, the land was vast and sparsely populated. Even if he wanted to get rid of these robbers, he had no way to find them.

The threat of robbers is getting bigger day by day. Sometimes dozens of corpses are even seen neatly arranged on the roadside. Those corpses are tragic in death and have many scars on their bodies.

They were all ordinary citizens, but now they were all killed by robbers. This was an unforgivable crime. Dimit was so angry that he shivered all over when he saw it, but he could only order his subordinates to burn and bury the bodies. As for the robbers, they had long disappeared.

Under the threat of robbers, the refugees on the road had no choice but to gather spontaneously to form a huge crowd to fight against the hateful robbers.

However, although the weather is cold, the Black Death does not stop completely. When the crowd gathers to a certain number, the disease will quietly stretch out its claws and entangle these poor people.

The more dense the population, the faster the disease will spread.

In a crowd of thousands of people, as long as there is a Black Death patient inside, all of these thousands will be infected with the disease in three days.

Diseases and robbers are like two walls covered with spikes, slowly closing in to the middle. Refugees are moving on the narrow road between them. If they are not careful, they will lose their lives by spikes.

The day of snowfall was the eighth day when the refugees moved towards the Pohe River defense line. The first group of people who set out had arrived near the Pohe River defense line.

The defense line was prepared for the arrival of these refugees, and many people were immediately isolated, but the quarantine time was relatively short, only three days.

After all, there are many refugees expected to arrive, and there are only a limited number of rooms available for isolation. Although the three-day quarantine observation is short, it can be determined whether it is infected with the disease.

After three days of quarantine, these people will be transferred to the inside of the defense line. The Pohe defense line is not just a "line", but an area where multiple defense lines are superimposed.

There are three areas: frontier area, isolation area, and evacuation area.

After the frontier area is subjected to a short three-day quarantine, the refugees will be transferred to the remote quarantine area for a longer period of time. Only after they are completely confirmed that there is no problem will they be sent to the evacuation area in the rear for resettlement.

Those who enter the evacuation area will be much more free. They can choose to stay in the local area for a temporary stay, or leave the Pohe area and go to inland cities. The disaster relief forces will no longer restrict their movements.

Among these three areas, the frontier area is the most important and dangerous place. Eugen arranged 70% of his subordinates and nearly 35,000 soldiers in this area to control the upcoming refugee wave.

The other 15,000 people were arranged in the isolation area. The most important requirement for the isolation area is stability. As long as the isolation area is stable and there is no major unrest, the situation will not be too bad.

Verona City is located at the center of the isolation area. Eugen's design of the Po River defense isolation area revolves around Verona City.

So he must ensure that Verona City can fully cooperate with him to ensure that everything goes smoothly, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

The frontier area has prepared isolation rooms and the supply of materials is also sufficient. These materials are provided by large merchants from all over the rear, including the former merchant Owen Rose.

With the example of Owen Rose, these merchants' quotes are all very reasonable. Even if someone wants to take advantage of it, he will not dare to go too far.

After all, Eugen had the blood of an earl in his hand, and his reputation was widely circulated.
