Chapter 1501 The Pitz Kingdom withdraws its troops
There is a saying that when the house leaks, it rains all night long.γγ
For Conlett, who took over the army of Pitz, God seemed to be full of hostility towards him.
First he took over the mess thrown at him by Hensar, and then malaria broke out in the camp.
Just as the Pitz soldiers were working together to fight malaria, rebel attacks appeared in many places in the rear.
Most of the leaders of these rebels are the former members of the generals of the Muyue Kingdom. Since the Qingyuan Pass was sealed, they have not been hiding among the people in the countryside, waiting for opportunities to sneak attacks on the Pitz people.
The signal that made the rebels active was the destruction of the granary of Yuanhe Fort. Since then, the rebels have begun to take action, either by sneak attack on the barracks of the Pitz people, or to intercept their caravans. In short, they are not letting Pitz.
The Chinese people are extremely troubled.
After the granary was destroyed, Conlit urgently used his connections and power to transfer another batch of food and supplies from behind Yuanhe Fort. However, he did not expect that this batch of food would be targeted by the local rebels as soon as it was transported on the road.
.
As a result, before the food supplies could be transported to Yuanhe Fort, the rebels intercepted them halfway.
When Conlett heard the bad news, he was so angry that he cursed people and threw things. He completely lost the mentality that a military coach should have.
But it's no wonder that this batch of food and supplies was what Conlit was waiting to save, and it was a help in times of need. But he didn't expect to be robbed by the rebels. He really wanted to cry without tears, and even wanted to die.
But Conlett's troubles didn't stop there. On the evening of the second day after the malaria outbreak, a heavy rain came unexpectedly.
The heavy rain was accompanied by lightning strikes, which killed fifteen Pitz soldiers on the sentry post that night.
Death by lightning is just an appetizer, heavy rain is the main point.
It rained for three or four days at a time, and the water drained out of Pitz Campground was slower than the accumulated water, so the campground soon turned into a puddle and quagmire. Let alone walking, even if you step on it, the mud will be submerged.
ankle.
There is already a shortage of medical care and medicine in Pitz, and such extreme weather has made the situation even worse.
In just a few days, malaria claimed the lives of more than 500 Pitt soldiers.
Conlit has been anxiously waiting for a reply from the royal capital these days, but every day ends in disappointment.
At this time, Conlett had completely fallen into despair and collapse. Seeing the constant illnesses and the soldiers in pain in the camp, he no longer wanted to wait.
So, on the fifth day when the heavy rain continued, Conlit finally issued an order, ordering the entire army to evacuate Qingyuan Pass.
On the pass defense city.
The sky was filled with dark clouds and the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping.
But at this time, the Fangcheng Trail was filled with excited-looking Luna Army soldiers, some holding weapons high in their hands, some waving general flags, cheering and shouting excitedly.
Chai Yan, Jimo Qiao, Cheng Jiu, and Yu Tie also stood among the soldiers, shouting and cheering, celebrating joyfully.
Chai Yan felt that he had stood in the rain for long enough, so he said to Jimo Qiao: "It's time to go down, so as not to catch the cold."
Jimo Qiao shook his head and said unwillingly: "No, I have to stay for a while. I don't want to miss such a happy moment."
Chai Yan couldn't persuade her, so he had no choice but to let her go.
But the next moment, Chai Yan conjured an oil-paper umbrella from behind, opened it and held it on Jimo Qiao's head.
Jimo Qiao looked up and was stunned for a moment, then asked quickly: "Where did you get your umbrella?"
Chai Yan replied: "I borrowed it from someone."
"Who borrowed it from?" Jimo Qiao looked behind Chai Yan.
Chai Yan also looked back and said pretentiously: "Strange, where is the person? He was here just now..."
Jimo Qiao didn't think too deeply, so he continued to look north and stopped asking this question.
In this way, Chai Yan stayed with Jimo Qiao on the pass defense city for more than half an hour, and did not leave until she got tired of watching the Pitz people break camp and withdraw their troops.
After getting off the pass, Jimo Qiao asked expectantly: "Brother-in-law, the Pitz people have withdrawn their troops, can we go back?"
Chai Yan nodded and said, "It should be."
"Great, great, I can finally go back." Jimo Qiao jumped up and down happily, like a happy little rabbit.
Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie, who were following behind, looked at each other when they heard this, their eyes full of expectation.
"A sneeze!"
Suddenly, Jimo Qiao sneezed.
Chai Yan said solemnly: "Look, you're caught in the rain, you must have caught a cold."
"It's okay." Jimo Qiao didn't care.
But Chai Yan was worried and immediately urged Jimo Qiao back to the camp and told her to change into dry clothes.
But even so, Jimo Qiao still fell ill, and fever and dizziness followed him.
Chai Yan hurriedly asked Cheng Jiu to go to the military medical camp and invite a military medical officer to see Jimo Qiao. After examining Jimo Qiao's pulse, the military doctor told Chai Yan that it was best to find a dry and warm place for her to recover. It had been raining for days in the camp recently, and the temperature
The descent was so fast that I had to put on a mattress at night, and the humidity here was too heavy, which was not conducive to Jimo Qiao's recovery.
After seeing off the military medical officer, Chai Yan asked Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie to take care of Jimo Qiao, while he immediately went to find Fan Xingwang.
Inside the tent.
Chai Yan told Fan Xingwang about Jimo Qiao's situation, and then said: "General Fan, please prepare a carriage for us. I have to send her back to Haoyue City to find a more comfortable place to recuperate."
After hearing this, Fan Xingwang did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered his soldiers to make arrangements.
In less than a minute, the carriage leaving the camp was ready.
Chai Yan immediately carried Jimo Qiao onto the carriage. At this time, there was actually a temporary small bed set up in the carriage for Jimo Qiao to lie down properly, so that he would not be so tired along the way.
After Chai Yan let Jimo Qiao lie down on the small bed, he immediately ordered Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie to drive off.
The next moment, the carriage drove out of the Luna Military Camp under the pouring rain and headed towards Haoyue City.
On the road, the carriage was bumpy, and the continuous shaking made Jimo Qiao very uncomfortable.
Chai Yan tried many methods, hoping to make Jimo Qiao lie down more comfortably, but none lasted long.
It wasn't until the end that Jimo Qiao fell asleep with his head on Chai Yan's lap.
Seeing that Jimo Qiao fell asleep, Chai Yan felt more at ease. With the shaking of the carriage, he also felt sleepy.
So, Chai Yan leaned against the car wall and closed his eyes unconsciously.
This sleep lasted more than an hour...
After a big bump, Chai Yan suddenly woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the carriage was still moving forward, but the rain outside had become lighter, but the sky was still dark.
At this time, Chai Yan felt that his thigh was numb, but Chai Yan did not move. He did not want to wake up Jimo Qiao, and hoped that she would sleep as long as possible to avoid being tortured by the bumps of the car again when she woke up.
But what happened was counterproductive, Jimo Qiao woke up after a while.
Jimo Qiao opened his eyes and looked around, and found that he was still resting on Chai Yan's thigh, and immediately felt a little embarrassed.
However, she did not move out of embarrassment, but continued to lie quietly with her head on Chaiyan's thigh.
Upon seeing this, Chai Yan asked: "How are you, do you feel better?"
"Well, I feel much better after sleeping for a while." Jimo Qiao responded softly.
Chai Yan said: "Continue to sleep, it will take a while to reach Haoyue City."
Jimo Qiao then closed his eyes obediently.
But after a while, Jimo Qiao opened his eyes again: "Brother-in-law, I can't sleep..."
Chai Yan thought for a while and said, "Then get up and sit down to get some air."
Jimo Qiao was not happy, and said with a hint of coquettishness: "No, I feel very comfortable like this."
Chai Yan smiled speechlessly: "You are feeling comfortable, but what about me? You have put a sleeper on my leg. If I don't get up and move, I will be completely crippled in the future."
After saying this, Jimo Qiao reluctantly sat up.
Chai Yan quickly began to move his thigh, and it took him a while to feel that the leg belonged to him.
"Would you like some dry food?" Chai Yan picked up a baggage from the side, which he brought with him before coming out.
Jimo Qiao shook his head: "I have no appetite, I don't want to eat these."
Chai Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then just be patient and wait until you get to Haoyue City. I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."
Jimo Qiao nodded immediately and smiled.
After being quiet for a while, Jimo Qiao suddenly said: "Brother-in-law, I heard from my sister that the braised beef you cook is particularly delicious. Is it true?"
"Of course it's true! That's my specialty dish. If you don't believe it, I'll cook it for you myself once I have the chance." Chai Yan said.
Jimo Qiao immediately said: "Then I want to eat it now!"
"Now?" Chai Yan hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "Let's go back to Haoyue City to settle you down first, and then I'll go find the ingredients. Once I find them, I'll cook them for you right away, okay?"
"Okay!" Jimo Qiao's face instantly burst into laughter.
