Chapter 788

The army of the Western Expedition pushed all the way.

The group of orcs apparently fled back to the base camp just like that.

All the castles in front were abandoned in one go.

Concentrate the troops in one place.

This approach is indeed quite straightforward.

Luo Ji pondered, many players probably wouldn't be able to let go of that cruel heart.

Along the way, two 100-strong teams of human infantry were dispatched to gather up the human natives who had fled in all directions.

If you can close it, close it up.

The more cheap labor, the better for Luo Ji.

On the premise of maintaining the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

Braving the scorching sun, the army of the Western Expedition arrived in the savannah area behind the Orc Alliance in midsummer.

Luo Ji raised his hand slightly, wiped a handful of sweat, and motioned for the army to rest.

And let the soldiers replenish water in time.

Now the temperature is probably close to 389 degrees.

Luo Ji couldn't wear that thick armor anymore.

What are you kidding him about?

Under the scorching sun for a while, the surface of his armor can be used for barbecue!

That suit is really unbearable to wear.

He directly put on a set of fairly cool light armor for himself.

It just felt a little better.

However, Luo Ji could do this, but the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army couldn't do it.

Facing the scorching sun overhead.

The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, at most, took off the visors on their faces to breathe.

As for the armor on the body, it is absolutely inescapable.

Once it is dragged off, in case of any unexpected situation, they will not have time to put it on again.

So, no matter how hot it is, you can only endure it.

I couldn't help it, so I unscrewed the water bag and poured some water on the armor.

Listen to the sound of 'ZizzZZZZ' to cool off the heat.

"Your Majesty, you can't go on like this. Many soldiers in the army have already suffered from heat stroke."

Du Yuanzhi, a staff officer with the army, wiped his sweat and said to Luo Ji...

"At the same time, in the past few days, the efficiency of the march is obviously getting worse and worse."

Hearing this, Luo Ji nodded.

Apparently he was very clear.

After all, it was said a long time ago.

Of the four seasons of the year, summer and winter are the least suitable for marching and fighting.

One is too hot and one is too cold.

The former is prone to heatstroke and the latter is prone to wind-cold.

However, wars in this world do not always bring you into good times.

Counting the time, the battle in the west, he has been from the late autumn of last year to the midsummer of this year!

Rounding it up, it can be directly counted as a year.

To pacify the West within this year.

Then you can't avoid summer.

Otherwise, it will be too late to wait until the fall to open the game again.

I want to wipe out the Orc Alliance in the west in one go.

There is always a risk to take, and a price to pay.

He looked up at the fireball in the sky that was a little too enthusiastic.

Luo Ji, who was standing in a shady place at this moment, couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead again.

Then he said...

"Go on the order, rest here for half a day, and from tomorrow, change your work and rest time, avoid the hottest time at noon, and travel in the early morning and evening."

Speaking of which, Luo Ji, who seemed to have thought of something, spoke again...

"By the way, in the supplies sent from the rear, there should be herbal tea for the summer, right? Brew it and distribute it."

Luo Ji originally wanted to order to travel at night.

But then I thought about it.

After all, there are many people in his westward expedition.

At night, the light is insufficient, and the vision is blocked.

Traveling at night, if something unexpected happens.

It is also very troublesome to deal with.

Thinking of this, Luo Ji gave up the idea of ​​traveling at night.

After half a day of rest, the soldiers recovered a little.

At the same time, during this period, those soldiers who have confirmed heat stroke.

is also concentrated.

There are forty-seven people in total.

Not much.

But it was terribly hot.

It was obvious that he couldn't continue on his way.

Fortunately, heatstroke symptoms are not contagious.

At the rear of the Western Expedition Army, there is also a logistics force transporting materials.

Between the two troops, there is about a difference of four to five days' journey.

Let the soldiers suffering from heat stroke stay where they are.

Send a small group of soldiers to look after them.

In a few days, they will be able to reunite with the logistics behind them.

Basically don't worry.

The Western Expedition Army continued to advance.

Follow the markers on the map.

The base camp of the Orc Alliance is in the deepest part of this savannah.

Originally, if the normal marching efficiency could be maintained.

Marching in a straight line, to get there, it is about a week's journey.

After all, in the grassland area, the road is not difficult to walk.

But the problem is that the impact of this climate is too great.

The marching speed of the Western Expedition Army inevitably began to decline.

Originally, when the army set out on the expedition, he skipped the time to camp every day to rest and eat.

A day is about 11 to 12 hours on the road.

And now, because to avoid the hottest time of noon.

So, a day's rush time becomes seven to eight hours.

During this time, he also had to let the soldiers pay attention to their own hygiene.

In order to avoid the breeding of bacteria and the outbreak of deadly diseases in this sweltering environment.

This question can be said to be the most important thing to pay attention to in the summer march!

Infectious diseases are much more terrifying than heatstroke.

Especially in the outbreak of the disease in the army that amassed thousands of troops.

That's just a nightmare!

At that time, in just a few days, he will be able to bring down a large number of his soldiers.

Even he himself may be implicated!

In this way, in order to prevent problems before they happen, the efficiency will be slowed down, which is also a helpless thing.

When it comes to life.

Luo Ji has always asked for the word 'steady'.

Efficiency is secondary.

He didn't want to play any character in this matter.

What if you face black?

Man, you can't be too confident.

Those who were overconfident eventually overturned.

"Your Majesty, a natural lake was discovered ahead!"

Hearing Zhou Cang's report, Luo Ji's expression brightened.

"Have a rest in the camp, remember to let the soldiers pay attention to clean up their personal hygiene, this matter must not be careless!"

While speaking, riding a prairie fire, he ran to Luo Ji by the lake.

He also intends to take off this light armor and flush the sweat stains on his body.

Who knew that at this moment, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind...

System prompt: Player 'Liu Zitao' is invading your civilization!

At the same time as this system prompt sounded, Luo Ji's expression froze completely.

What are you kidding? Is he the 61st player in the Bronze Rank Ranking now?

Under normal circumstances, who is so boring to invade him? !

and many more! Liu Zitao?

The name sounds a bit familiar...

After thinking for a while, Luo Ji's entire face was instantly gloomy, almost dripping with water.

"Number 16 on the list..."

"Depend on!!!"

For the leader of the "Sponge Sponge", the second one is sent!
