The weather has begun to get hotter now, and people who are infected and die from the plague will infect more diseases. This is not a good thing for both the warring parties or the whole world.
Therefore, Liang Sicheng guessed that the plague in Luoyang should also be caused by Lin Biao's instruction. Isn't he afraid of the destruction of life?
If the plague in Luoyang City can still rely on Zaka's judgment on population mobility to effectively control it, then this time, no matter how powerful Zaka is, it will be difficult to stop the spread of the disease in the world. .
This is not a question of will, but of ability.
If Zaka's spread of plague on a large scale is considered by Lin Zhu as a measure that can be used to fight the enemy, then what's the point of everyone in the team fighting desperately to lead the troops?
Liang Sicheng didn't dare to think further. In other words, he knew that he couldn't figure it out.
Then as soon as it comes, make peace with it.
That night, Liang Sicheng temporarily stayed in the governor's mansion. During this day, he felt that there was something wrong with his body. His throat was fine, but he kept sneezing, and he felt that he had begun to have cold symptoms.
Liang Sicheng had not experienced the game Plague Company with Qi Zhen, so he naturally did not know that the spread of the virus was attenuated.
The first wave of infected people must be the Bingzhou Army under Zhao Yun. There may also be secondary infections. After the virus spreads to this county, it may already be the third or fourth wave of infected people.
When it comes to the army that captured the county, it may have been the fifth infection. The virus is much more powerful than the previous epidemic that broke out in the Bingzhou army.
But it has to be said that for ancient people who had never received a flu vaccine and whose immunity was not as good as that of modern people, it was still a disaster.
The spread and onset speed of this plague was still terrifying at this time, and most soldiers in the army had begun to suffer from coughs or other symptoms of colds to varying degrees.
Even Chu Shan was not spared.
Just when Liang Sicheng could no longer restrain his anxiety and was preparing to rush to Luoyang for eight hundred miles, a figure came to his room.
"You're finally here. If you don't come again, I won't fight this fight. I'll fight whoever I love." Liang Sicheng glanced at him and said angrily.
Xhaka stretched out his right hand and gestured towards Liang Sicheng.
A lilac aura visible to the naked eye spread along Liang Sicheng's body, gradually gathered in the center of Zaka's open fingers, and then slowly dissipated in his palm.
Liang Sicheng took two deep breaths and said, "Does this thing have any side effects? Also, will I not be infected again?"
Zhaka shook his head: "It's just an ordinary flu virus, not that scary."
"What you said is easy!" Liang Sicheng stood up suddenly, stared at Zhaka and said, "Brother, this is ancient times, okay? What do you think of the 21st century? Can we still give antibiotics to these ordinary people?!"
Zhaka spread his hands and looked innocent: "Go and tell Lin Biao."
Liang Sicheng was suddenly discouraged, sat down on the ground with a sullen expression, and started chewing his nails again.
"What do you think Lin Biao is thinking? How long will it take to wait until people in this world develop antibodies to the flu? I'm afraid everyone will be burned into idiots by then." He murmured.
Zhaka still shook his head, saying that he didn't know.
"Then you quickly give me hundreds of thousands of troops to eliminate the plague first, otherwise even if Bingzhou is captured, there will only be a bunch of defeated soldiers left." Liang Sicheng urged.
Fortunately, there is no possibility of secondary infection with this influenza virus, otherwise Liang Sicheng would have gone crazy.
However, what made Liang Sicheng unbelievable was that.
"I can't do it." Zhaka shook his head with a grimace.
"What? What do you mean you can't do it?" Liang Sicheng asked with wide eyes.
"If you can't do it, you can't do it. If you collect so many viruses at once, I will be done with it." Xhaka replied.
"And even if I try to detoxify part by part, I'm afraid it won't spread as fast as the virus..." Zhaka continued to hit Liang Sicheng mercilessly, blocking his last path.
"Then why fight? Don't plan on it! We have to work hard to do what the virus can do. Is that reasonable?!" Liang Sicheng said angrily.
"I'll help Chu Shan detoxify, and you can let it out slowly." Zhaka showed a smile that he thought was honest, turned around and disappeared into the room.
…
The three-day siege period remained unchanged. After a brief rest, Liang Sicheng and Chu Shan continued to lead their troops on the journey to siege the city, but this time there was an additional Zhaka in the army.
In addition to poisoning Liu Yu of Youzhou and spreading plague among Zhao Yun's army, Lin Biao did not give Zaka any other tasks, so he was treated as a strong man by Liang Sicheng as a matter of course, and he routinely assisted the generals in the army every day. And ordinary soldiers choose the virus that has been infected.
It's just that the progress is indeed a bit slow.
Deaths gradually began to occur in the army, especially among soldiers with similar infection levels and who belonged to the same battalion. From dying one by one to the entire team dying of the disease, it only took about a week.
During this period, the army captured three more cities, and without exception the virus in the generals was brought to the local people.
The entire Bingzhou began to become smoky.
In fact, ever since Liang Sicheng guessed that most of Zhao Yun had returned to Bingzhou, he had already anticipated the inevitability of this happening.
However, neither he nor Chu Shan, nor even the instigator Xhaka, could do anything about this situation.
The virus has mutated countless times during its spread. To recover the virus from Zaka's body, his body must first digest it before it can adapt, and then it can successfully absorb the same virus.
This explanation from Xhaka earned Liang Sicheng a big eye roll.
Liang Sicheng said that you seriously want to explain such metaphysical things in a scientific way. Do you think I can understand it?
Zhaka said that I can only explain it this way anyway, and you can’t blame me if you don’t understand.
The army continued to move north, but as it went north, Liang Sicheng found that the plague situation in the captured cities became more serious.
Liang Sicheng understood that this was because Zhao Yun's army had already passed by.
Bingzhou is over.
It was not destroyed by Chu Shan's long guns and short guns, but completely destroyed by an epidemic.
Recalling that the final victory in the Battle of Chibi in history was not so much the result of Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's tricks, but rather an epidemic, Liang Sicheng gave a helpless smile. The so-called fate tricks people, but that's it.
There was a sickly atmosphere throughout the entire army. Both the attacking and defending sides lacked morale to fight. In the end, the victory or defeat of the war was all attributed to the cannon.
After all, lighting a fuse is always much easier than fighting in close combat.
This forward momentum is completely different from the previous overwhelming momentum. If it felt like sharp arrows piercing through hard iron plates before, now it is more like a wooden chopstick being stabbed by water. of rotten paper.
The results achieved are the same, but the process is completely different.
Chu Shan and Liang Sicheng discussed it and decided that it would not work if this went on. If the army could not reach Bingzhou City, all the soldiers would fall ill.
As for the first total, come on, while they still have the strength, don't just go to the city in three days, and go directly to Bingzhou City!
So after three days, this huge army, which had conquered several counties along the road and had a total number of 200,000 people, arrived at Bingzhou City!
Liang Sicheng knew very well that villains die from talking too much, and the key is not to hesitate. The army had just set up camp, and he immediately asked Chu Shan to order his soldiers to start attacking the city.
The thundering sound of artillery fire exploded outside Bingzhou City, and the city walls and towers were instantly submerged in a sea of smoke and fire.
Along the way, Liang Sicheng and Chu Shan played many "unruly" styles.
When the two armies are fighting, they can either chat with each other in front of the formation to undermine the other side's morale and confidence, or show off the general's riding skills and show off his power in front of the opponent's formation, or simply the two armies will engage in a life-and-death battle and decide first. Hi, have you ever heard of such an immoral way of playing?
Just push up the cannon, ignite it, and blast it. Even if it is really neat and clean, this style of play is too shameless.
Adhering to the attitude of don't push if you can, Bingzhou's city wall was soon devastated by artillery bombardment.
Liang Sicheng also understood. Anyway, it was either the cannon or the plague. He was going to die on both sides, so it was better to let the cannon give him a happy death.
The shells that had been saved along the road were all poured onto the city wall of Bingzhou as if they were free of charge. The shelling did not stop until the roots of the gun barrels were slightly red.
It took a stick of incense just to dissipate the smoke from the explosion.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses took a closer look and were happy.
The wall of Bingzhou City that appeared in front of them again was violently blown down.
That's an entire city wall!
The army began to advance forward. Without the city wall, naturally there would be no more soldiers guarding the city wall. The army slowly walked to the front of Bingzhou City as if there was no one around.
Liang Sicheng pursed his lips at Chu Shan.
It means you go up, my lung capacity is not enough.
Chu Shan rolled his eyes at Liang Sicheng and muttered: "Your young master is quite free."
However, the horse under the seat still slowly stepped forward and shouted loudly at the ruins of the city: "People in the city, listen! You have been surrounded by us. Now there is a chance of surrendering out of the city. If not, we will continue to blast!" "
Chu Shan felt that the words he had managed to hold back were particularly domineering, especially the word "bang", as if he had really fired a cannon.
What was unexpected and reasonable was that no one responded to his bold words.
It was quiet inside and outside the city walls.
Liang Sicheng frowned and shouted to Chu Shan: "Brother Chu, come into the city!"
