Battle for hegemony at the end of the Qin Dynasty in the military god system

Chapter 266 The Vanishing Huns
Li An's departure left a ruined camp, and when the scouts from the Liangshan Army arrived, it was already a piece of scorched earth.

Fortunately, these scouts were personally trained by Meng Tian in Liangshan, and their abilities are quite good.After the Liangshan scouts discovered the ruins, they entered in groups of three to look for clues.In the end, they came to the same answer. This must be the camp of the escaped Huns, but the strange thing is that the dead bodies found in the ruins were all burned alive.Judging from the signs left in the camp, it doesn't look like a sudden fire or being attacked by the enemy to death, but it seems that he took the initiative to hide in the camp and was burned to death.

The scouts couldn't make up their minds. After all, the situation they discovered this time was too weird, so they decided to report back to the coach immediately.

Soon Sha Pojun and others received the scout's report. Sha Pojun was very surprised by the scout's statement. He looked at Meng Tian who was also surprised and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think is the reason?"

Meng Tian shook his head, and replied slowly: "I don't know, the Huns in my memory will never sit still. I think we should go to the scene to have a look."

"In this case, let's go now without further delay. I think this matter is even more bizarre than Devil's Valley. I really can't figure out why the Huns came here." Sha Pojun is also a vigorous person, heeded Meng Tian's suggestion After that, Sha Pojun immediately decided to rush to the scene of the incident with a small number of guards.

Zhou Tong, the commander of the cavalry army, naturally took the initiative to follow. Jin Zi, the commander of the guards, didn't want to go, but under Sha Pojun's order, he mounted his horse and followed behind with an expression of displeasure.

As for why Jin Zi didn't want to go, that's another question. The unnatural death incident reminded Jin Jin of the scene of the seaside formation.The seaside formation left an indelible impression on Jin Zi, and Jin Jin would often dream of zombies when he had nightmares.So when encountering this kind of thing, Jin Zi's first reaction is to stay away from him. Although he likes the thrill of killing on the battlefield, it doesn't mean he likes this mysterious power.

As a member of the guard battalion now, Yingbo must go there.But he doesn't care about this kind of thing, it's just burning the camp, what's so strange about it.

Liangshan's army moved quickly, and Sha Po's army arrived at the scene with all the generals in a short time.The scene was indeed the scene after the fire raged, the pitch-black camp, the charred trees, and the charred Huns.Sha Pojun looked at the camp carefully and came to a conclusion that the camp was at least ten thousand people.That is to say, there were about [-] Huns stationed here, and according to the corpses found, there were tens of thousands of them. What's more frightening is that these people had no resistance before they died, and they were burned to death by the fire.

Sha Pojun asked the left and right if they could see other clues. After all, it was impossible to find out the reasons for these people's deaths based on their own deduction just now.

Meng Tian still shook his head, even though he came to the scene, he still couldn't see any more useful information.Sha Pojun frowned. Could it be that there is no clue?Whether all the Huns died or some fled, it is difficult to judge based on the messy scene.

However, Meng Tian's sudden answer made Sha Pojun a little excited: "My lord, come and see here, we may have found the direction of the answer." As he spoke, Meng Tian pointed to the messy marks on the ground. left by traveling east.

Sha Pojun asked suspiciously, "East?"

Meng Tian nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Looking at the traces, there should be a team of about a thousand people passing here, and the direction should be the same as ours. They are all going to Zhao."

"Is it the murderer who killed these Huns?" Sha Pojun asked uncertainly, staring at the horseshoe prints and human footprints left on the ground.

Meng Tian shook his head again, and replied indifferently: "I don't know, it is very likely that they are escaped Huns."

However, Wang Li objected. Wang Li touched the soil on the ground and said in surprise: "My lord, general, have you noticed that these traces are quite organized, and they don't seem to be fleeing in a panic. And these The soil has not completely solidified, which means that the people who left traces should not have left for a long time, at most it was yesterday afternoon."

Under Wang Li's reminder, Sha Pojun and Meng Tian also noticed the dirt on the ground.Both of them were suspicious, then this group of people might not be the Huns, maybe they were the murderers who killed the Huns.But how did they do it so that the Huns would not resist?
When Sha Pojun and Meng Tian were full of doubts, Zhou Tong who checked the corpse seemed to have a new discovery.Zhou Tong found that these Huns had gastrointestinal discomfort, wind-cold and other diseases before their death.Zhou Tong inspected more than a dozen corpses, and was surprised to find that these people had some kind of disease before they were burned to death.In order to verify his conjecture, Zhou Tong inspected hundreds of corpses.Sure enough, these people all suffered from some kind of disease before they died, and this disease took away their fighting power. Maybe these people were even unable to resist when the fire came.This was an incredible discovery, and Zhou Tong quickly sent someone to report the discovery to Sha Pojun.

After hearing this, Sha Pojun and Meng Tian didn't bother to study the footprints, they hurried to the camp and saw Zhou Tong who was examining the corpse.

Zhou Tong stood up from the pile of corpses, walked slowly in front of Sha Pojun, pointed to the hundreds of corpses on the ground, and said indifferently: "These corpses may have been infected with some kind of stubborn disease before they were alive, and lost their combat effectiveness. The serious point is that these people are already unable to act on their own before being burned to death by the fire."

Zhou Tong looked at the two people who were surprised, and added: "I'm talking about everything. Maybe these Huns who were burned to death all suffered from the same disease. That is, this disease is extremely contagious, and the onset speed is very fast. Extremely fast, even potentially fatal."

Looking at the dismembered corpse, Sha Pojun seemed to have more thoughts in his mind.Looking at Meng Tian, ​​he asked, "General Meng, how do you think the Huns died?"

After many years of fighting, Meng Tian thought of a possibility after hearing Zhou Tong's explanation, and said in a deep voice, "General Zhou, do you think there is a possibility of a plague?"

"General Meng Tian has a good opinion. I also guess that it is very likely that the Huns have encountered a plague. There may be people who understand the plague among the Huns. These infected people were quarantined and cremated."

Meng Tian clapped his hands and replied, "Good! That's how it should be."

"That is to say, those thousand people's footprints are the Huns who narrowly escaped from death." Sha Pojun replied with a smile. Hearing Zhou Tong and Meng Tian's explanation, Sha Pojun was relieved, and his mood relaxed a lot.

"It must be so. We should evacuate our people quickly. I can't guarantee that the fire has killed these plague sources." Zhou Tong said quite rationally.

Sha Pojun nodded, and ordered the left and right to order everyone to evacuate quickly.Zhou Tong added again: "After I go back, I'm going to make a medicinal soup for the whole army to drink to prevent the plague."
