1322: Cutting Huang Song, Dongqing Unification (63)

"This place is Changye?

Jiang Pengji was worried halfway, but Huang Song didn't mean to ambush halfway, but she thought too much.

Changye is a small place near Hu County, the terrain is flat and wide, although there are mountains, but the ups and downs are very flat. If this place is well renovated, drains the river water, nourishes the soil fertility, and is carefully operated for three to five years, it may also be an excellent grain-producing county.

Marching along the road, Jiang Pengji found that there were many wrecks of houses here, and she could faintly see the appearance of a village or a small town.

The ruins are crawling with green vines and weeds, and many snakes, insects, rats and ants are hiding here.

After marching for miles into the Changye Realm, she couldn't see a single human being.

Jiang Pengji couldn't help but complain, "Choosing this place as the location of the battle, Bo Gao dislikes that his cemetery is not desolate enough?"

Changye was even more desolate than the place where the Tsing Yi Army and the Red Lotus Sect had ravaged back then, as if it had been forgotten by the whole world.

"There have been several plagues here, and the people have moved everything they can, and most of those who have not had time to move have died of disease. ”

Changye was also a county town with abundant grain production back then, and the rain poured back, washing away the floating corpses left by the war elsewhere, the plague was rampant, and the town with a population of tens of thousands died cleanly. Many years have passed since this incident, and the people who moved away still dare not set foot in the scope of Changye.

While talking, a column of scouts arrived on horseback.

"Newspaper - the enemy army is encamped fifteen miles away. ”

"Keep investigating!" Jiang Pengji said, "Let's also pick a place to camp." ”

Camping is a science, not only to choose a good place, but also to take into account the structure of the entire camp.

Both aspects are satisfied, not only to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, but also to control the initiative on the battlefield.

However, Huang Song came before them, the other party must have thought carefully and picked a good place, it is difficult for Jiang Pengji to take advantage of this aspect.

Prioritizing proximity to water sources is one of the most basic principles of camping.

[The first beauty in history]: Why don't you set up camp on a nearby hillside? Anyway, you can still take advantage of the terrain, and if you have a water source, you can also have mountain spring water? To meet the needs of the terrain and the needs of the water source, this place chosen by the anchor is very convenient for the enemy to charge.

[Seven Stars Borrowed Life]: The anchor should not listen to the nonsense upstairs, is it ashamed for the layman to guide the insider? If the anchor really does what you say, the anchor will immediately become the next horseman. At present, it is autumn, and the spring water is gradually drying up, even in spring and summer, the spring water on the mountain can supply hundreds of thousands of troops? Choosing flat land to build a camp is not a complete disadvantage for the anchor, after all, the cavalry under her account is not raised to eat dry food.

Jiang Pengji didn't pay attention to the live broadcast room, so naturally she didn't see the barrage of these people.

"Newspaper - a large number of bones found near the camp - "

Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows and smiled at the person next to her, "Could it be that we have set up camp and landed on the grave of other people's families?"

Because of the burial in ancient times, some places still like sky burials, and it is normal to dig up people's graves or something.

Jiang Pengji has been out fighting for so many years, and she often encounters such embarrassing things.

However, she will not change places just because the camp is located at the head of other people's graves, at most let the owner of the grave move.

"Probably not. During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, Changye was the capital of a small country. There have been several major wars here, and it is not uncommon for a large number of bones to be exhumed from the ground. When Han Yu saw that the bones were all headless corpses, he was even more convinced of his judgment.

During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the calculation of military merits in battles was counted as heads, and it was normal to cut off the heads of prisoners in exchange for military merits.

Now it has changed, the human head is not convenient to carry, and it is generally to cut the ears or nose of the enemy's corpses. Jiang Pengji also took a look, the corpse pit was full of dense corpses, and they were all headless corpses, and a corpse pit full of heads was found nearby-

Jiang Pengji said with emotion, "It's better to deal with the corpses in a war or directly burn them, and it's also convenient to deal with them, it's better than such a violent corpse wilderness." ”

Han Yu secretly glanced at his father-in-law.

Fire means that there are no bones left, and I really can't see anything better than the Violent Corpse Wilderness.

However, his own lord has always liked to use fire to dispose of enemy bones, and this habit has been used to it for almost ten years, and the big guys are also used to it.

The camp area is huge, and in addition to these corpse pits left by the ancient battlefields, there will always be inadvertent impact on the tombs of ordinary people.

She found that the bones of the people had no heads.

"Why, someone dug up the grave and stole the corpse, cutting off the head of the corpse to pretend to be a military meritor?"

"There is this possibility, but Changye once had a funeral custom of separating the corpses, and these tombs look very complete and have not been touched, so they should have been made by the people themselves. Han Yu said eloquently, "The lord also knows that Changye is the burial place of the prime minister of the previous dynasty, right? In the years when the plague broke out in Changye, it happened to be the time when the prime minister's tomb was offended by bandits. Many people thought that the plague was a disaster brought down by the prime minister, and that only after death could the bones be separated to appease the anger of the other party—hence this custom. ”

"I can't see the logic in it. "When an epidemic breaks out, instead of looking for the source of infection and controlling the infection channel, it makes some secret letters and alarmist rumors, and it is ridiculous to hear it, "These bones are all disposed of, remember to stay away from the water source-"

There is no need for Jiang Pengji to remind them, and the soldiers will not make such mistakes.

Jiang Pengji had high hygiene requirements, which caused the soldiers under her tent to get sick due to water and soil adaptation to the situation far less than other princes.

The first night of encampment is also a good time for the enemy to sneak attack. Jiang Pengji has just arrived with the troops, and he is busy setting up the camp, the energy of the soldiers is very depleted and the enemy has finished cultivating, the enemy can take advantage of the camp is not formed and the soldiers are not energetic to sneak attack.

Jiang Pengji said firmly, "Bo Gao will attack the camp tonight, test us, and tell the soldiers to patrol carefully, don't take it lightly." ”

Han Yu and the others were only sure whether Huang Song would attack the camp tonight, but Jiang Pengji knew that he would definitely come.

The opportunity must not be lost, and Huang Song will not miss this opportunity.

The situation in the battle was very unfavorable for him, so he naturally wanted to find an opportunity to boost his morale, and a night attack was a good choice.

On the frontal battlefield, Huang Song's soldiers and horses are not as many as Jiang Pengji, the combat power is not equal, and the chance of victory is not great, so he can only find another way.

Towards the third watch, the scouts sent out to keep an eye on the enemy's camp did not find any signs of the enemy's camp being transferred.

"No movement?"

Everyone was quite surprised, could it be that Huang Song gave up this opportunity?

Jiang Pengji stayed in the main tent, and the sound of candles bursting in the air was heard from time to time, and the flickering candle flame illuminated the main tent.

She didn't take off the armor on her body, but meditated upright, closed her eyes and stretched her spirit, and her knees were still flat with the sword of the gods.

Will Huang Song let go of this opportunity?

Of course he won't!

"Inevitably, there are still some victories—"

Jiang Pengji muttered, her gaze aimed in a certain direction.
