On the banks of the Liao River, tents are rising and falling to form a huge camp. Looking up, it looks like a sea of ​​tents. There are wooden fences on the edge of the outer edge as a wall, and arrow towers on the inner side. There are also many cavalry wandering around the outer side, alerting the surroundings.

Many of the tribes of the Marine tribes that lived in northern Liao and even further north, at the request of the southern power Goguryeo, sent troops south to assist in the war, and joined forces with the Goguryeo army to repel the Zhou army that raided Liaodong.

Goguryeo is a great country and has been the overlord of the Liaodong region for more than a hundred years. Therefore, many Marine tribes have either been helpless or obeyed the orders of the other party in order to seek protection, and occasionally sent troops to fight as the other party's hawks and dogs.

This time, the various divisions of Marine went south to participate in the war, and Goguryeo promised a heavy reward, which was also one of the reasons why the leaders of each division were attracted.

Reward is one, and spoils are the second.

It is said that the Zhou army was well-equipped and had a lot of materials for armor and weapons. Goguryeo promised to appropriately divide the captured iron armor and weapons to tribes that had made military achievements after the war, so many tribe leaders were ready to fight and had high fighting spirit.

They decided to perform well, strive to obtain more spoils, and enhance the strength of their tribe.

The battle lasted for several months. The Goguryeo and the Marine Alliance fought dozens of battles with the Zhou army that raided various parts of Liaodong. After bloody battles, relying on their superiority to force, they finally repelled the Zhou army and its accomplices "Short Hair".

The Zhou army retreated to Liaokou City, a stronghold at the mouth of the Liao River, and used this as a barrier to struggle. Now the two sides are confronting each other in the Liaokou area. The coalition forces hope to "pull" Liaokou City before winter comes.

The offensive and defensive battles around Liaokou City were going on intermittently. The coalition forces were not yet at the city. The two sides continued to fight outside Liaokou City. The war was in a stalemate, and there was no way to decide the winner for a while, and it was even more impossible to attack the city directly.

Even so, the fight was still necessary. The Goguryeo army camped east of Liaokou City, while the troops of various Muhe were camping north of Liaokou City, and the upper reaches of the Liao River were camping on the banks of the Goguryeo army, echoing left and right.

Although the Marine Camp is crowded with people today, what everyone is doing is not pre-war preparations.

In the camp and on the river bank, there were dead people lying on piles of firewood. Most of the dead were men, and there were a lot of purulent herpes on their faces. It seemed that they died of a bad disease.

Several bonfires were lit in front of the firewood pile, and some witches in strange costumes danced and sang loudly from time to time. Their voices were gentle and ups and downs, just like howling lonely wolf in the wilderness, or like howling night owls in the forest.

Behind Wu Zhu was a large group of people, all of whom stood solemnly, listening to Wu Zhu's chanting, praying silently in their hearts.

I pray that the gods will bring down magical powers to peace of the souls of those who die of illness, so that the sick will recover as soon as possible, and that the unsick will not be infected with the disease.

Eliminate plagues in the camp and keep people and animals safe.

Nearly half a month ago, an epidemic broke out in Daying. After many people got infected, they had rashes on their faces and bodies, and then the rash gradually turned into herpes, and then turned into pustipes. The patient began to have a high fever and finally fell into a coma and died.

At the beginning, people did not realize that this was a plague, so they did not take any quarantine measures. They just asked a witch doctor to do it, and then picked some herbs and boiled them for the patient to take it.

When many people's condition worsens and more people get sick, everything is too late.

Fortunately, the leaders of various tribes were cruel and isolated all those who had symptoms of illness, so they barely controlled the situation. However, many people died of illness every day, which made other soldiers feel anxious about this.

In order to calm people's hearts, the leaders of various tribes asked the witches with endless magic power to do the tricks to eliminate the plague and ensure the safety of the people of the tribe, and cursed the Zhou army and "short hair" downstream of Liaokou and the "short hair" who would not die well.

Wu Zhu, who has infinite magic power, wants to fight with the other party's Wu Zhu, and "bomb" the curse imposed by the other party on his own camp.

Of course, the other party cursed, otherwise how could the plague break out for no reason in one's camp?

The various tribes of the Marine have lived among the white mountains and black waters for generations and have never seen such a strange epidemic. Even in various disaster stories passed down from word to word, there has never been a mention of such epidemics.

Therefore, the people of the Marx who participated in the war believed that the outbreak of the plague in the camp must be the result of the curse imposed by the Zhou army.

They have been respecting ghosts and gods recently, and the affairs of ghosts and gods can only be handled by Wu Zhu.

The ceremony lasted for unknown amount of time, but it was finally time to ignite the fire. Fires ignited one after another, and the bodies of the deceased gradually deformed in the flames.

After the fire was extinguished, the remains and firewood turned into ashes together. Many men who covered their mouths with cloth pushed the cart, picked up wooden shovels and shoveled the ashes into the truck's bucket, then pushed them to the edge of the Liao River, pouring them into the river.

At the same time, many people carried baskets and poured the clothes, utensils, bedding and other items contained in the deceased's life into the river.

Wu Zhu said that these people who died of cursed and the items they used during their lifetime must still be carrying plagues, so as long as the method (curse) is completed and these things are poured into the river, the plague will flow downstream and float to the Liaokou Zhou army stronghold several miles downstream.

At that time, Zhou Jun and his accomplices who were absorbing river water to cook, bathe, and drink would definitely be infected with the plague and then die.

When many people of the damn enemies were covered with herpes on their faces, they all had high fevers and fainted, and finally died in desolation. Many people couldn't help feeling very happy.

In the past few months, they have been unable to gain advantage from each other with real swords and guns on the battlefield. On the contrary, they have suffered a lot of casualties. Now, with the help of ghosts and gods, they have the opportunity to take revenge, causing serious casualties on the other side. This kind of thing just makes people excited.

However, while excited, many people were a little confused. They followed the leader south and followed the Goguryeo army to deal with the Zhou people. Now the war is not going well, and the spoils are not as many as imagined. Everyone worked hard and could not go back empty-handed.

Many people were killed, leaving behind lonely and helpless families, and their families were waiting to share some spoils to make ends meet. If there was no such benefit, how should we live the next cold winter?

As I thought about it, many people in Marx missed the great victory half a month ago.

In that great victory, they attacked the Zhou army's baggage team. The other guards and horses turned around and ran away when they saw that the situation was not good, abandoning a large amount of cloth, silk, clothes, and bedding. So the various troops of the Marine Army had some decent gains, so that they would not have left their hands until the war started.

However, Wu Zhu now said that these cloth, silk, clothes, and bedding were cursed by the Zhou army, so they could not be kept and they had to be handed over and burned. This statement made many people skeptical.

They finally got some spoils, so they naturally cherished them very much. The silks and silks were very clean and had a nice smell, so many people were reluctant to hand them over.

But he was afraid of curses from the enemy, so he did not dare to leave them in his residence. So many people buried the spoils secretly in the ground and waited for a while to take them away when they withdrew their troops.

These little thoughts are not known to others, so at this moment everyone is praying, praying that the curse will take effect, causing the Zhou army downstream to be infected with plague and then all die.

Looking downstream direction, many people were thinking that when the Zhou army died, they would have left a lot of supplies. By then, everyone would be able to have a happy winter when they returned with a full load.

So, the curse will take effect soon!
Chapter completed!
