Chapter 200: Biochemical Weapons
"Boom boom boom boom boom..." Countless bombs bloomed among the enemy and bloomed everywhere. In the vast dark night, you can clearly see the violent flames when the bomb exploded. Cooperating with the earth-shaking explosion, it was really like a divine thunder from the sky. Moreover, Li Hao temporarily added a large sound this time to spread his voice to the entire battlefield. Even if he said a gentle word, it was like a god's voice, and all the enemy troops could hear it. This was also a miracle for the ancient people with low knowledge.
This time, Li Hao was more ruthless, asking the special forces team members to throw out all the sky-bombing thunders and bloom everywhere, creating the illusion of using the big move. He wanted to shock the enemy and let them feel what a catastrophe was. Because the jumping master has been used twice, and he must not use it for the third time. He simply used up all the bombs at once.
Li Hao's ultimate move version of the Divine Sword and Thunder Demonic Art really scared the enemy's courage. Tens of thousands of troops fled and fled. He really responded to the saying that the army was defeated like a mountain. Moreover, when they fled, there was a stampede, and hundreds of people died of the trampling of their own people.
Tian Long had never believed in the Divine Sword and Thunder Control True Art before, thinking that this was a trick used by the enemy. However, when he saw it with his own eyes, he was stunned and could not speak for a long time. When he escaped in public and reported it to him, he turned around. At this time, he suddenly remembered what Zhang Meng said before leaving. It turned out that this Tingzhou was really a hard bone.
Now that the army is completely unhealthy, Tian Long had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the camp. After returning to the camp, he counted the battle losses. The 70,000 army lost more than 13,000 people, of which Gaochang soldiers were lost 4,000, and Western Turkic soldiers were lost nearly 10,000. It can be seen that this battle was really too tragic tonight.
After Tian Long withdrew his troops, Li Hao also sent people to clean the city walls and count the battle damage. Not long after, the battle damage was counted out. One thousand,500 soldiers were killed, more than 500 were seriously injured, and nearly two,000 were slightly injured.
When Li Hao heard this report of war damage, his eyebrows were almost broken, and he lost nearly half of the city's troops overnight. This was simply deadly. I can only expect that the enemy would be really afraid of being beaten this time and would not invade again in the near future, otherwise this Tingzhou City would really not be able to defend.
From the next day, Tian Long summoned the chief generals of the army to the tent to hold a military meeting and discussed how to take down Tingzhou.
In fact, Tian Long himself did not expect any hope for this military meeting. After all, the scene of Li Hao's actions on the cityside yesterday caused thunder everywhere. Their morale has been severely damaged, and the generals from all walks of life will definitely not support continuing to attack the city.
Sure enough, the final result of the negotiation was that the siege was wasted, and when the food in Tingzhou was exhausted, it could easily take down Tingzhou. This is the only feasible solution at present.
From the beginning of the war, Li Hao handed over the 500 stones of grain collected from the large households to Longchang Grain Shop. It was not for him to sell it, but was distributed free of charge. Li Hao issued a grain certificate to every household in Tingzhou. With this certificate, he could go to Longchang Grain Shop to get grain once a day. According to the family population, a person would have three taels of grain a day, regardless of his fullness, but he would not starve to death. Every time he received the grain, he would stamp the grain certificate once in the Longchang Grain Shop, and the corresponding date would be written to ensure that no one would receive the grain repeatedly.
Zhu Su Lao wanted to do his part for the country, but when he was old, he could not carry his hands or shoulders, so he went to Longchang Grain Shop to help Manager Li. After all, Zhu Su Lao was a cultural person and it was okay to settle accounts. He helped him keep accounts and was busy until late at night every day, which really shared a lot of money for Manager Li. More and more people in the city were out of food at home, and more and more people came to the grain shop to collect grain every day, and there were less and less food in the warehouse. Zhu Su Lao calculated carefully. If this continued, the grain would not last until the corn matured. Ten days before the corn matured, it was estimated that the grain in the warehouse would be distributed.
Li Hao once told him that as long as the corn in the field matures, the food crisis can be alleviated, because Li Hao has demolished many houses and cleared out 200 acres of open land to grow corn. In the middle, as long as the corn produced in the previous 50 acres of land is used to transition, the grain problem in Tingzhou can be solved.
All the demolished houses were used as stone rolling wood, while the original residents were arranged by Li Hao to move into temporary tents. Since it was an extraordinary period, these people were all very well-off, which shows that the people of the Tang Dynasty had a very high awareness.
Zhu Su Lao went to see Li Hao and told Li Hao about his calculation results. Li Hao also calculated it himself. Indeed, the food crisis has come again, and this time, there is almost no solution.
Although Li Hao was worried, he showed it, but he just frowned, and then pretended to be relaxed and said to Zhu Su Lao: "Su Lao doesn't have to worry about food. I am the governor of Tingzhou. The food problem should be solved by me."
Although Mr. Zhu Su was suspicious, he didn't want to say anything more. He could only sigh, nod, and then say goodbye.
On the third day after the military meeting, Tian Long received a report from the military lieutenant that many people in the army had symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, and more than a dozen soldiers had very serious symptoms and had died of excessive diarrhea.
Tian Long was in a bad mood, so he had no time to deal with vomiting and diarrhea. He asked him to do it and drove him away afterwards.
The next morning, Tian Long had just gotten up, and the military lieutenant brought several military doctors to report that the big thing was wrong. Thousands of people in the army had symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting. Overnight, more than 500 people died of excessive diarrhea and dehydration. More than a dozen military doctors had begun to show symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting, and they suspected that it was cholera.
Cholera is an ancient plague and is a disease of acute diarrhea. The peak of the disease occurs in summer. The clinical symptoms are mainly diarrhea, which then causes vomiting. It can cause diarrhea and dehydration within a few hours or more than ten hours. The most terrifying thing is that cholera is extremely contagious, otherwise it cannot be included in the plague.
Tian Long was shocked when he heard this and hurried to the medical account with these military doctors to check it out. When he arrived at the entrance of the medical account, Tian Long suddenly stopped and did not dare to go in. The reason why he came here was because he was worried about his army. However, along the way, he realized that the army was not as important as his own life. If the army died of a plague, he could completely shirk responsibility. After all, this was a natural disaster. However, if he accidentally infected with cholera, then everything would be over. He was a man of Tian Cheng, who had huge wealth and power, and his life was very expensive.
Tian Long stood at the door of the medical tent for a long time and suddenly said, "I don't understand medical principles, so I won't go in and see. You are all experts. How to treat it is up to you to decide."
The military medical captain said bitterly: "Master, this is a plague. Please forgive me for being incompetent and unable to come up with a treatment method."
Tian Long frowned when he heard this, and wanted to get angry, but he held it back, but his words were obviously unhappy: "If it cannot be cured, then don't let other sick-free soldiers get infected. Do you also need this coach to teach you this?"
"Yes." The military medical captain nodded, "But his subordinates need the authorization of the general, otherwise his subordinates would be afraid that some generals in the army would rely on their military positions and would not obey their subordinates' arrangements."
"This is simple, I will go back and write a handwritten letter for you!" Tian Long said that, and turned around and walked towards the den.
Soon, the military lieutenant obtained Tian Long's warrant and began to order the isolation of those infected with cholera. If the patient was found in the army, he would report it immediately, otherwise the military law would deal with it.
The medical skills of the Tang Dynasty were not particularly developed, but the Tang Dynasty had outstanding talents and many famous doctors, but Gaochang was not outstanding. Even the medical skills of the imperial doctors in the Gaochang Palace were probably not as good as those of the doctors in any medical clinic in the Tang Dynasty. What's more, these military doctors were very amazing to make them recognize that this was cholera. As for isolating cholera patients, their proposal was right, but the approach was wrong.
Cholera is caused by Vibrio cholerae. This thing has a certain incubation period. It does not mean that symptoms appear once it is infected. However, they only quarantine the onset. In this way, it is impossible to completely cut off the transmission of cholera. Every day, a large number of soldiers are infected with cholera and sent to the isolation area.
What's even more terrifying is that the feces of cholera patients have extremely strong infectious ability, and the isolation area has long been filled with feces of cholera patients. The soldiers who sent cholera patients often carry Vibrio cholera after returning to the camp, which is simply a mobile source of infection.
Li Hao has to go up the city tower every day to observe the movements in the enemy camp. When he saw the enemy starting to transport cholera patients, he knew that his plan had been successful.
This time the cholera appeared in the enemy camp was not accidental, but was planned by Li Hao, and the origin of the planning lies in Jintang.
Boiled feces burn many enemy people. In this hot summer, Vibrio cholerae is the most likely to breed in feces. Vibrio cholerae enters the human body along the wound or the diet of the hand or mouth, which will naturally cause cholera. Then one spreads ten to ten, ten to hundreds, which will lead to large-scale plagues in the enemy camp. Once the plague forms, it will be very terrible, let alone a densely populated military camp. Conservatively estimates that tens of thousands of people will not die, but the word "plague" is sorry.
Knowledge changes destiny. Li Hao used his knowledge to successfully trigger a large-scale plague in the enemy camp. Although it was inhumane to cause plagues, Li Hao had no choice because he wanted to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese nation with a highly civilized Chinese nation, rather than those greedy and tyrannical barbarians. He did not have racial discrimination, but history is a mirror. The Chinese civilization was ruthlessly trampled on by the barbarians countless times, causing the slow development of the Chinese nation. This is an indisputable fact, so Li Hao was able to put his heart down and used the most primitive biological and chemical weapons without hesitation.
In just over a dozen days, the Gaochang camp was hollowed out. When the troops were withdrawn last time, there were nearly 60,000 people, but now there are only more than 20,000 people left. The others are suffering from cholera and die of death.
Tian Long was almost collapsed. He still didn't know that all this was done by Li Hao. Among the remaining 26,000 people, 10,000 Gaochang soldiers and 16,000 Western Turkic soldiers.
The generals of the Western Turks were stunned, frightened, and trembled. When they set out to leave the Western Turks, they thought they would be able to capture the small city in Tingzhou. At first, they heard that they were attacking the small city in Tingzhou, but they thought they would be able to capture it. There were too many 50,000 people, but now there are only 16,000 people left. Tingzhou City has not yet been captured and is still there, guarded by the Tang army. It is like God is joking with them.
Zhang Meng, the Duke of Jiaohe, has been sending people to pay close attention to the war situation in Tingzhou because he wanted to take revenge and was taken away by the general. When he learned that the plague broke out in the army, he was so happy that he did something very irresistible. He reported the news of the plague broke out in the military camp to Gaochang City. Not only that, he also publicized the matter in Jiaohe City.
