Chapter 704 The Change of the Azure Dragon
Chapter 704 The Change of the Azure Dragon
In the jungle, there are too many terrains that these natives can use.
If it weren't for the backwardness of these indigenous equipment, just the ambush yesterday would have caused heavy losses to the entire Daqin advance team, and even wiped out the entire army.
These are all bloody lessons, which were paid for by hundreds of soldiers of the Qin army in exchange for their lives.
Therefore, Qinglong did not dare to be careless this time, and would rather slow down his marching speed, and find out all the surrounding conditions to ensure that he will not be ambushed by the enemy.
It was at this time that the messengers with Ying Yu's orders rushed up following the marks.
After seeing Qinglong, the messenger hurriedly handed Ying Yu's handwritten letter to him.
After reading the contents of the letter, Qinglong had no choice but to admire from the bottom of his heart.
Before Ying Yu came to the front in person, he had already anticipated what might happen.
Although Ying Yu ordered it, it was too late when it was delivered, and they had already been ambushed by the enemy.
But it is precisely this kind of order that makes Qinglong more able to thoroughly remember that His Majesty, who is hundreds of times more talented than him, is so careful in doing things. The underestimation of the enemy caused those soldiers to sacrifice their lives in vain.
So Qinglong secretly made up his mind that no matter what kind of enemy he faces in the future, he will never underestimate the enemy.
On this day's journey, there was no sign of trouble.
However, there were still many soldiers on the way who couldn't adapt to the climate in the tropical rainforest.
Bad reactions began to appear. They came to Brazil from Daqin, and it is the most normal phenomenon that they are not acclimatized to the environment.
Especially deep in the tropical rainforest, this phenomenon is just particularly serious.
Symptoms were getting worse for many soldiers, at first only a small number of soldiers, and over time, a large number of soldiers began to develop symptoms.
At this time, Qinglong panicked a little.
Since this day, they haven't found even a single native, but he doesn't think those natives will leave so easily.
They must be watching secretly in a place where they can't find it.
If there is a situation in the army now, it happens to be their opportunity.
If they took advantage of this opportunity to attack again, there might be another loss, but now they have gone deep into the rainforest.
Even if you want to quit now, it is too late, and what to do next has become a very big problem.
Qinglong also thought about setting up camp on the spot, but this did not solve the problem.
The soldiers with symptoms were not because they were too tired, but because they were not used to the climate in the jungle.
This is not something that can be solved by resting for a day or two.
On the contrary, after staying in this jungle for a long time, their symptoms may become more and more serious, and more and more people will have the same symptoms.
If he can't stay longer, he can rush out in one go, but they don't have a detailed topographic map of this place, and he doesn't know how big this jungle is.
If you rashly choose to march at full speed, it will be a good thing if you can rush out of this jungle in a short time.
But if they couldn't rush out, the soldiers would be overtired and their symptoms would definitely get worse.
At that time, if those natives come to attack again, it will be dangerous.
Now Qinglong has fallen into a dilemma.
Qinglong knew that he could no longer hesitate at this moment.
Things don't get resolved because of his indecision, it just gets more complicated and unmanageable.
After pondering for a moment, Qinglong sighed helplessly.
At this time, he has realized his own shortcomings.
In the past, he was able to make a decisive decision in everything he did, and he would never procrastinate or hesitate.
But after leading the troops alone this time, he realized that being a general is really not that easy.
Therefore, every decision he makes at this time is related to the lives and deaths of thousands of people.
The advance team of 3000 people, the future, life, and wealth of these brothers are all in his hands.
Under such a heavy burden, it is difficult to make accurate judgments. One can imagine the difficulty.
In the past, when he saw Ying Yu make these decisions, it was extremely easy and simple.
Almost all problems are not a problem for Ying Yu at all.
At this moment, he could finally deeply understand Ying Yu's mood.
He firmly believed that Ying Yu was not without pressure, but that he was too tough, and he absorbed and digested all the pressure without showing it.
Under such heavy pressure, he can still accurately make the most correct judgment every time.
At this moment, Qinglong could no longer imagine what kind of military talent Ying Yu possessed.
How strong is the heart to be able to do it, to remain calm and calm at any time.
"If it was His Majesty, what would he do?"
Qinglong muttered to himself, and then he tried to think about the problem with Ying Yu's thinking.
Although he can't reach Ying Yu's unrestricted and unfettered thoughts, it's always good to move closer to that direction.
Finally, he made a decision.
He sent three waves of pathfinding teams to investigate in the designated direction as quickly as possible. He wanted to see how long it would take to get out of this forest.
But the time given to these teams should not be too long, just give them one day.
If they advance at full speed, they will not be able to return within a day.
It shows that it is impossible for the army to walk out of this jungle within a few days of departure.
During the day when the team explored the road, the large team stayed in place and rested as much as possible.
Soldiers who have not yet had any symptoms cut down trees, and in this jungle, artificially created an area where the sky can be seen.
Because in such a jungle, the climate is humid and hot.
There was hardly any sunlight, so he wanted to cut down where the trees shaded the sky.
In this way, within a certain range, fresh air can be absorbed.
Or let the soldiers bask in the sun, which of course he knew might not have any effect.
At least it was an attempt, it was much better than doing nothing and waiting to die.
After making a decision, Qinglong immediately issued an order.
At this moment, all the soldiers knew what the situation was like, so naturally no one dared to delay.
The army camped in place, and those with serious symptoms of acclimatization were sent to tents.
It is hot summer now, and in such a jungle, there is another big problem, that is, there are many small insects such as mosquitoes.
The tent cannot be completely closed, because the weather is too hot.
At this time, the gauze tent that Ying Yu asked them to prepare came in handy.
After those soldiers with symptoms got rest, the situation improved slightly.
The remaining soldiers who had no physical problems also started to cut down trees.
In this jungle, there are many thicker trees, and the difficulty of cutting them down is not small.
It took half a day to achieve the effect Qinglong wanted.
