The Feng army, which was unprepared and had never seen such tactics before, fell into Zhen Ren's poisonous plan. Many soldiers did not hesitate and directly reached out to carry the corpse.
Nothing happened that day, but on the second day, a large number of people in the army began to fall ill. They had high fevers and were bedridden. The medical officers in the army were very busy. They gave people anti-fever medicine, but there was no improvement.
Instead, people's faces began to turn pale.
On the third day, the number of sick soldiers began to increase. The number expanded several times, even reaching tens of thousands. Even the medical officers who treated the soldiers fell ill one after another. This time
, Feng Jun was shocked from top to bottom, and the news could not be suppressed anymore, and finally reached Tang Yin.
Originally, people just thought that Feng Jun fell ill because he was infected with wind-cold, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. Not only did the Feng Jun soldiers who fell ill have a high fever, but they also began to develop lumps on their bodies, which they had never seen before.
symptoms.
It was Qiu Zhen and Su Yelei who reported the matter to Tang Yin. After hearing this, Tang Yin was also confused. He asked: "When did this disease start to appear in the army?"
"Two days ago." Qiu Zhen said: "According to the soldiers, the enemy threw many corpses into the city two days ago. The first batch of sick brothers in our army were all people who had carried corpses. The soldiers suspected
...I suspect this may be witchcraft performed by the Sichuan-Zhen coalition..."
"Witchcraft? Nonsense!" Tang Yin had never believed in things like ghosts and monsters in his life. He rolled his eyes at Qiu Zhen, thought for a moment, and then asked, "What are the symptoms of the sick soldiers?"
Su Yelei replied: "I have a persistent high fever, I feel weak all over, I feel extremely cold, and there are lumps on my body..."
The more she spoke, the deeper Tang Yin's brows furrowed. Feng Ren had never seen such symptoms before, but that didn't mean that Tang Yin didn't know about it. He was a martial arts practitioner himself, and martial arts practitioners had to have some contact with traditional Chinese medicine, and this
He has actually seen this disease.
Before Su Yelei finished speaking, Tang Yin interrupted: "The lumps are mostly concentrated in the neck and armpits? Will it feel tingling when touched?"
Su Yelei was stunned and didn't understand why Tang Yin knew. The lumps on the fallen soldiers were indeed mainly concentrated at the base of their necks, armpits and thighs. As for whether it would sting when touched, she didn't know, but people reacted violently.
Really. She said in surprise: "Has your Majesty ever seen a sick soldier?"
I have seen it before, but not in this world. Tang Yin clenched his fists, raised his head, and thought about it carefully, everything became clear. The Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces would not throw corpses for no reason. They were throwing corpses infected with the plague.
Throw them into the city and kill your own soldiers with plague.
This should be regarded as the earliest biological and chemical weapon. It is rare in Chinese history, but it often happens in the history of foreign wars. Unexpectedly, the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces actually used this trick against their own side.
Tang Yin did not answer Su Yelei, turned to look at Qiu Zhen, his tiger eyes shot out with terrifying light, and asked sternly: "Why didn't you report such a big thing to me earlier?"
Qiu Zhen lowered his head after being scolded by Tang Yin and was speechless. In fact, Qiu Zhen was very aggrieved. He had just heard about it. After learning about it, he came to see Tang Yin as soon as possible. But it is useless to talk about it now, so he might as well
Just said nothing.
Tang Yin squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "This is plague, there is no cure. All soldiers who are sick must be isolated immediately, and all soldiers who have been in contact with or have been close to them must also be isolated."
There were prescriptions for treating plague in the Chinese medicine books he had read, but Tang Yin did not memorize them carefully. Moreover, there were many types of plague, with different prescriptions and different dosages of medicines. He was asked to name several prevention or treatment methods at once.
It is also impossible to find medicinal materials to treat the plague.
Plague does not refer to a specific infectious disease, but a general term for those highly contagious viruses, which naturally includes plague that can be transmitted through the air.
After hearing what he said, Qiu Zhen and Su Yelei were dumbfounded and stood there, speechless for a long time.
In the current era, the word plague has not yet been born, and Qiu Zhen and Su Yelei do not understand what the plague means. Moreover, there are currently more than 10,000 soldiers in the Feng Army who have fallen ill, and there are few soldiers who have been in contact with or even close to them.
With a crowd of 40,000 to 50,000, is it possible that all these soldiers must be isolated?
In addition, as a medical officer, Su Yelei naturally had contact with sick soldiers. According to Tang Yin, she was also one of the targets of isolation.
Seeing that the two of them were still standing there motionless and looking at him, Tang Yin said anxiously: "What are you two still doing? Go quickly! This is the plague. Anyone who comes into contact or is close to him may be infected. If you don't immediately
If we isolate them, all the soldiers in the army will be dead!"
Qiu Zhen came back to his senses, screamed in surprise, turned around and ran out without even bothering to speak to the leader.
Su Yelei didn't walk away, she just took two steps back to distance herself from Tang Yin.
Tang Yin stared at her and asked in a solemn voice: "Is there anything else?"
Su Yelei murmured in a low voice: "I...I have also been in contact with sick soldiers..."
"Damn it!" When Tang Yin heard this, he was startled at first. Then, a ball of anger suddenly arose in his heart. He was holding it in his chest. He had nowhere to vent it and didn't know who to vent it to. His fists clenched and he looked at it.
Su Yelei, after a while, he said: "You go to the side courtyard of the General's Mansion to live first, there is no one there now!"
Su Yelei met Tang Yin's eyes, sighed quietly, and said while walking out: "Forget it, I have already been exposed to it anyway, and I don't care about more contacts. Even if I can't cure their disease, I at least have to find a way.
Alleviate their pain."
Before she could walk out, Tang Yin had already stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her towards the side courtyard without any explanation. At the same time, he said: "The best way to alleviate their pain is to kill them with one knife."
His words may sound cold and cruel, but they are also true. People infected with the plague may not all die, and there is a possibility of survival, but that chance is so small that it can be ignored. Instead of letting people suffer in pain
It is better to kill them directly than to die slowly from torture. That can be regarded as a kind of redirected kindness!
Seeing Tang Yin grabbing her wrist without restraint, Su Yelei shivered in fright. While struggling violently, she screamed: "What are you doing? Let go quickly, I will also infect you..."
"Then let it be infected, I'm not afraid." Tang Yin said coldly, his palms like iron pliers, tightly clasping Su Yelei's Haowan, no matter how hard she struggled, nothing came loose. As a spiritual cultivator of the dark inner sect
, Tang Yin is indeed not afraid of the plague. This germ comes from animals and cannot withstand the internal combustion of his dark fire.
Tang Yin dragged and dragged Su Yelei to the side courtyard of the General's Mansion. On the other side, Qiu Zhen began to send people to isolate the soldiers infected with the plague as well as those who had been in contact with them. If you don't do it, you won't know, but the result will be different.
Only then did we discover that almost all of the more than 60,000 people who defended Baguan were completely wiped out and isolated.
This is also thanks to the fact that the Feng Army is divided into legions and they are stationed in different places. The defenders near the city wall are basically Baguan troops led by Yingbu, while other corps are stationed elsewhere in Baguan. The core of the plague is infected.
It's the Baguan Army. If the Feng Army is not divided into legions and all the soldiers live together, then I'm afraid not many people will be spared.
Now Baguan is bounded by the General's Mansion in the center of the city. The entire south of the General's Mansion is an isolation area. All other corps have withdrawn to the north of the General's Mansion. Internal inspections of each legion have also been carried out to see if they have come into contact with the Baguan Army.
If there are any soldiers, they will all be isolated.
For a time, Baguan City was in chaos, and people were panicking, especially the Baguan Army, which was completely isolated. Many soldiers were confused about what was going on. They only knew that the king had given them a royal order, ordering them to stay where they were.
We are stationed there and are not allowed to go to Beicheng without authorization.
General's Mansion.
Tang Yin summoned all the generals in the army to conduct an emergency consultation on the current situation. Due to the raging plague, Nancheng has become a desperate place, and his own soldiers cannot get close at all. Now it seems that it is unrealistic to continue to defend the hegemony.
, the entire army must retreat.
Now all the generals know that they have fallen into the enemy's plague tactics, and Baguan really cannot stay any longer, otherwise the entire army will be in danger of being annihilated.
Qiu Zhen asked the most relevant question for everyone. If our own side withdraws, what will happen to the Baguan Army led by Yingbu? Should we continue to stay in the city, or retreat with our own side?
After hearing Qiu Zhen's words, all the generals looked at Tang Yin one after another to see how he would choose.
Tang Yin took a deep breath, put his hands on his back, and paced back and forth in the hall in a troubled and contradictory mood.
There are more than 60,000 soldiers, the Baguan Army that is best at defending in the Feng Kingdom and the most senior force. He also wants to take them all away, but can he do this?
After he had pondered for almost a stick of incense, he finally stopped and raised his eyes to slowly scan the people present. Then he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Leave the Baguan Army behind.
Other legions, prepare to retreat."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed. Doing this was tantamount to ignoring the Baguan army and letting them fend for themselves in Baguan.
"Your Majesty..." People exclaimed in surprise.
But before they could speak, Tang Yin had already opened his scarlet eyes, and roared loudly with his face flushed: "Do you think I am willing to leave 60,000 soldiers alone? Do I feel good? Take them away, the plague will
If it spreads, it will not only spread to the entire army, but also to the whole country. Countless people will be infected and die! That's not a cold, that's a deadly plague. Do you understand?"
Tang Yin's shout was so loud that the echo lingered in the hall for a long time.
Under his scolding, people lowered their heads and stopped talking. Everyone understood that Tang Yin must be far more distressed than them at this time.
Until this time, people did not know exactly what kind of disease the plague was, but people remembered the name deeply. A mere thousand corpses cost the country the lives of 60,000 soldiers. This price was too high.
