Wang Xuanjun, who was chasing Qingqi, didn't even bring any baggage and struggled to set up camp. How could he have the ability to deal with Chen Cang's affairs?
While Wang Xuan asked the cavalry to patrol three miles away from Chencang 24 hours a day to prevent anyone from entering or exiting, Wang Xuan notified the baggage train and infantry behind him to move forward quickly.
It took more than two days for the logistics of the urgent march to catch up. With sufficient supplies, a super-high-standard camp was set up in just one night with the efforts of 30,000 people.
Only now did Wang Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.
After the supplies were all in place, Wang Xuan began to arrange matters in Chencang City. He first ordered 30,000 masks to be made from fine silk, and then turned the 'disease-repelling charms' he had prepared in the past few days into water. Part of them was used to soak the masks, and part of them was used to soak the masks.
Used for drinking.
Everything was ready, and 20,000 people, led by Wang Xuan, Zhao Yun, Gao Lan, and Dian Wei, entered Chencang City directly.
With a general in the army taking the lead to enter the city, ordinary soldiers have nothing to fear. In comparison, their lives are not that valuable. Big men are not afraid of death, so they have nothing to fear.
How can ordinary soldiers understand that when they enter an epidemic area, the bosses will receive the same strict protection as them~ (manual funny)
As soon as I entered the city, the air in the city seemed to be gray, and a strong putrid smell hit my nose. It was unbearable even if I wore a mask.
"F*ck!" Dian Wei, who was smelly, swore. He was so excited that the air blast from his mouth blew the silk mask into pieces.
"Fuck!" Dian Wei covered his mouth in fear, his voice muffled enough for people to hear clearly.
Dian Wei, who was heartless and fearless, was also scared. Wang Xuan made it clear that the plague was caused by breathing into the body.
"Idiot!" Wang Xuan rolled his eyes fiercely. He was so impressed by Dian Wei that he took out a mask from his arms and handed it over.
To be honest, Wang Xuan doesn't know if the five-layer silk mask is useful. There is no testing method. Anyway, it is not enough for N95. However, it is better than nothing. The psychological effect alone is also
Okay, not to mention soaking it in the water of the 'disease-repelling charm', I think it will be useful!
Holding my breath, I entered the city and saw corpses everywhere. I don’t know how many days the corpse had been dead. From the mouth, nose, eyes and ears, you could clearly see insects crawling in and out, and green-headed flies were flying around.
The corpse kept flying up and down, the wounds rolled open, rotted to the point of turning white, next to it was dried to purple-black blood, and the belly was bulging high.
Before anyone could get closer, the bulging belly suddenly exploded with a loud roar, and rotten corpse liquid was sprayed everywhere along with a large amount of white insect repellent. Everyone exclaimed in low voices and couldn't help but take two steps back.
Zhao Yundianwei and others had killed many people, but it was never their turn to clean the battlefield and dispose of corpses. I had never seen such rotting corpses before. It was not that they were frightened, but more that they were disgusted.
Even Dian Wei's dark face turned pale from disgust.
Wang Xuan waved his hands as usual and said: "Everyone starts carrying the corpse from the city gate. Try to be careful. If the corpse is highly decomposed, it will break when touched. Don't get the rotten corpse liquid into your mouth and nose."
Cleaning up the corpses was the first step. Wang Xuan arranged for people to build a crude incinerator outside the city and prepared a large amount of kerosene prepared by the army. After the corpses were transported out, they would all be burned to completely eliminate the source of the plague.
It is not possible to dig holes and bury them at this time. There were too many wild animals in ancient society, especially scavengers. Even if they were buried deeply, they could not hide them from their noses. Just now, Wang Xuan had seen crows and other scavenging birds circling around, as well as some scavenging animals.
The animals were startled.
If the body was dug out, the consequences would be disastrous.
It is a place that is often mentioned in history.
Just as Wang Xuan was leading his troops to clean up the rotting corpses in Chencang day by day, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Han Sui divided their troops into three groups with a total of 80,000 cavalry, and drew a large circle to surround them from three sides. On the other side, Zhang Lu simultaneously sent troops
Take the Baoxie Road and secretly send 10,000 troops to kill Mei County.
Mei County, as a node connected with Chang'an, is responsible for the important responsibility of grain and grass transit and transportation, but the defenders only have a thousand people. The long-term victory and the escape of Li Jue and Guo Si made Liu Beijun relax his vigilance and face the sudden attack.
The tens of thousands of troops and thousands of people stationed in Mei County demonstrated the tenacity of Liu Bei's army. No one surrendered until the end of the battle. When the entire army was wiped out, they even set fire to all the food stored in the city, leaving absolutely no trace of the enemy behind.
Chencang, Chencang who secretly assassinated Chencang, Liu Bang was the king of Hanzhong back then. It was after secretly assassinating Chencang that he occupied Guanzhong in one fell swoop, which laid the foundation for the future to sweep the world and establish the Han Dynasty. Today, Han Sui also designed a palace for Liu Bang's descendant Liu Beijun in Chencang
A fatal trap.
First, the city of Chencang was massacred early, leaving Wang Xuan to face a dilemma. He could either lead his army to escape and let all the corpses rot. Whether or not a plague would eventually break out was up to God's will. Or he could suppress the army in chaos, risking the risk of being infected by the plague, and forcibly command the army to clean up the mess.
.
In Han Sui's plan, Liu Beijun's usual behavior was probably to stay where he was to deal with the corpses all over the city. In this case, he was pinned to the spot. He sent an army to surround him from three sides, and then Zhang Lu
Cut off his food route from the rear, and he didn't believe that Wang Xuan could still escape under the dragnet!
It would be better if Wang Xuan's army was infected with the plague. If they were seriously ill and lost most of their combat power, it would be easier to massacre them!
Wang Xuan was still unaware of all this. It was not because he was righteous and did not set up a cordon, but because Han Sui was too careful. In addition, all the surrounding people were relocated to form a large no-man's land. This was only possible due to many factors.
Second major siege.
In Chencang, all the corpses have been disposed of at this moment. Those in the city that should be demolished are demolished, those that can be burned are burned, and those that cannot be burned are also splashed with lime water, trying their best to eliminate all hidden dangers.
In the past ten days, no one in the army has fallen ill. It seems that the water-soaked masks of the 'disease-repelling charm' are still very useful. This is the only good news among the bad news.
In the camp outside the city, Wang Xuan looked at the soldiers who came from Mei County to report. They were listless and weak. Their bodies were covered with purple-black marks left by dried blood. He raised his hand to stop the soldiers who were about to speak, and held a gun in his hand.
He turned over a 'Sword and Soldier Talisman' and threw it directly on the soldier, and then threw a 'Ganlin Talisman'. After two talismans were put down, the soldier who reported the news became visibly energetic.
"Thank you so much, Sir!" With tears in the eyes of the soldier, he gratefully performed the standard military salute to Wang Xuan, and then continued: "Reporting to the Imperial Guard, four days ago, Mei County was attacked by Zhang Lu's army, and our army was completely wiped out.
