Located in the east of Jeju, located in the camp of Xiao Tang and Zongze, between the mountains of several thousand peaks and ten thousand halberds, ten thousand people open the screen, it is the middle of spring, but see a few withered vines and old trees between the mountains, and the source is clear. After passing through these mountains, the eyes suddenly opened up, but I saw that the green grass was like the ocean and stretched straight to the horizon.

Under the quiet night sky, there are several teams of soldiers and horses dressed in soap-colored strongsuits, and horses with hooves wrapped in hooves haunt the mountains and meadows here. When Chang Boda, who covered his mouth and nose, was also quietly dispatching his manpower back and forth, scraping down the white ash scabies from the war horse that had been infected with the tribal plague and lying on the ground with a neighing cry, and then mixed it with warm water and a medicine paddle mixed with a few herbs to smear it everywhere on the densest weeds......

In fact, this kind of suspected use of biological weapons is not uncommon in ordinary seasons, Liu Qi in the official history of the Yan Wushu Department of the elite cavalry built the Shunchang victory, there is a theory that he also had poison in the upper reaches of Yingshui and grass, Jin soldiers and horses after eating water and grass caused illness.

According to Chang Boda, once such an epidemic occurs, it is extremely contagious, and a large number of war horses gathered in one place are more likely to be infected in groups.

Most of the logistics supplies of the Jin army were also like many nomadic tribes in the north that were thriving for a while, relying on the support of grain and straw from various counties, towns and villages in various counties, towns and villages in the rich Song Dynasty along the way, and the daily coarse grain and forage of war horses reached one or twenty catties of food consumption. The infection of the war horse plague in the Song Jin army was originally a rare and accidental phenomenon that broke out once in decades, once the epidemic occurred like a wind and fire quickly spreading, how could Ren Jinjun be careful, but how could he predict Xiao Tang's plan to take advantage of such a rare livestock epidemic?

At first, I heard that Xiao Tang's plan was somewhat reluctant, but they also knew the overall situation, involving thousands of brothers involved in danger and desperately fighting with foreign captives, Huangfuduan and Chang Boda should immediately take it down, and use their means to know the symptoms of cold and heat of the six animals and horses, and know how to diagnose and treat pre-epidemic diseases, and they also know how to promote the epidemic......

"Teach the brothers to be careful, this place is very close to the place where the Jin army Tartar sentry goes, and the men who want to feed their horses will definitely find this place. Unless the true Sect Tartar breaks it, according to the brother's order, don't startle the snake. ”

Among the leaders of the outposts in the lower reaches of the Sixia Mountains, Lu Fangfang instructed his subordinates, and not long after, Guo Sheng also led a team of Yongjian to sneak over, and said: "The two brothers Huangfuduan and Chang Boda have been drugged in Sixiali, and if the Tartars come, the free-range war horses will inevitably be hit." Now that the brothers on patrol can be ordered to return home, they must still be careful on the way. ”

Lu Fang nodded when he saw this, then whistled, and after leading the crowd with Guo Sheng to meet Chang Boda, Huangfuduan and others, he took advantage of the night to leave the endless grassland of the green fields and lush fields, and returned to the army garrison to hand over orders to Xiao Tang......

A day or two later, a large number of fierce and light Jurchen knights suddenly appeared between the grasslands and mountains, and many cavalry patrolling the horses were reined in. It seems that there is no Song army and Xiao Tang's rebel army around, and the leader of the team immediately shouted, most of the Jurchen knights turned over and dismounted, took off the saddle bridles on the horseback, the vest and all kinds of ordnance hanging on Anshan, and then hiked to the hillside mound, found a place to chew Hu biscuit jerky, and drank the water in the skin bag to recuperate and recuperate.

As for the horses, which were stripped from head to toe, the number of several thousand horses, like a huge herd of wild horses, all sought the most dense place for the wild grass near the mountain range, bowed their heads and graze. There were still Jurchen light horsemen patrolling the sentry around, and there was no change in the slightest, but of course they didn't know that Xiao Tang had sent several teams of men and horses to arrive here first, and had quietly left......

In the next few days, not far from the wilderness, patches of black and oppressive Jin Army barracks have been set up. The whimpering wind sounded like a ghost crying, and from time to time there were bursts of heart-rending screams and cries from the tent in the company camp, which was immediately accompanied by the wanton laughter and scolding of the Jurchen Hulu, and I don't know how many plundered Song people were suffering from concoction torture in the camp.

In the night, surrounded by countless burning torches, many Jurchen military horses stood solemnly, and there were also groups of bound soldiers kneeling on the ground, accompanied by a Jurchen general shouting fiercely, the knife and axe hand waved the butcher knife in his hand, and cut off the heads of rows and rows on the spot. Accompanied by the night breeze, the air was filled with the smell of blood, and the scene made people feel palpitations and fears.

The defeated soldiers who were corrected in front of the Shuai tent were not only many captured Song soldiers, but also Zahu and Jurchen soldiers in the Jin army who came ashore during the water battle because of the ineffective crossing of the water to conquer Liangshan.

Blood flowed in all directions, and wails and screams resounded through the night sky. Most of the Jurchen soldiers who witnessed the military execution at the scene had chills down their spines, and many of them had cold sweat oozing down their foreheads and backs.......

Although he personally led the elite divisions such as Tiefutu and Abduction Horse to defeat the Song army one after another and won several big victories, it was because he had been besieging Liangshan, the base of Xiao Tang's culprit, for a period of time, not to mention that among the troops stationed on the waterside, there were still people who were familiar with the topography and water conditions of Liangshanbo to provide information, but the battles of the beach-grabbing landing were unfavorable, and they were repeatedly defeated by the three water armies of the Ruan clan led by the three heroes of the Ruan family, and they were still unable to attack Liangshan on the other side of the mountain... At the same time, Xiao Tang led the army to advance to the left area. It was the decisive battle that was imminent, and the commander of Fang Jin's army, the fourth prince, seemed to be angry and impatient, not only becoming more and more brutal and vicious towards the enslavement of the captive Song people, but also treating the military justice of the various armies more and more harsh.

And in the tent, all the generals of the Jin Army didn't even dare to take a breath, they all looked sideways at the big man who was in the middle of the tent, but these days the leaders of the army who were often full of anger on their faces, at this time there was a very rare smile on their faces, he playfully looked at the Song General prisoner who was kneeling in front of him, the gray face, and the face had already revealed fear and horror, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Zhang Zhongxiong, you said you are willing to surrender?" ”

Zhang Zhongxiong, who was defeated and captured with his father and brother, and was also the most hostile to Xiao Tang's Green Forest Rebels in the past, did not have the same flamboyant appearance as before at this time, and it seems that the terrifying scene of being crushed by the Jin army's heavy cavalry is still vivid. Zhang Zhongxiong, who was already depressed and frightened, knew that even if he had to bear the infamy of being afraid of death, he thought of the terrible scene he witnessed after being captive, and his idea of supporting himself to be a loyal minister and martyr loyal to the Song court finally collapsed......

After only thinking about it for a while, Zhang Zhongxiong finally gritted his teeth fiercely, fell to his knees with a puff, and immediately begged for mercy from the commander of the Jin Army who was sitting in front of him: "Lord Mengwushu has mercy, and the last general will be born with the grace of not killing, and he is willing to do his best to devote himself to the kingdom!" ”
