I have to say that the execution ability of the Julu Army was absolutely top-notch at the time. Wen Yuan gave the order and the entire army immediately took action in an orderly manner. All those with symptoms of physical discomfort were immediately picked out from the brigade and accepted by Hua Tuo and During the diagnosis and treatment of his disciples, those who were found to have infection symptoms were immediately sent to a separate isolation area for closed management.
In addition, the military's Xuanwei assistants took on the work of health inspectors. They were responsible for preaching the health regulations formulated by Wenyuan and inspecting the personal and environmental hygiene of the sergeants. After a lot of busy and unhurried work, finally... It is to implement the will conveyed by Wenyuan.
After two days of busy investigation, the rules for checking infected people were finally completed. After inspection, a total of more than 4,000 people were confirmed to be infected with the plague. This is because it was discovered early. According to Hua Tuo, if the epidemic is If it had been discovered a few days later, the number of infected people would have increased several times. By that time, even if Hua Tuo and the dozens of doctors under his disciples separated it into eight parts and used them, they would not be able to cure the outbreak of the plague.
After the investigation, Wenyuan ordered that all the Julu sergeants who were seriously ill with the infection be sent to a separate area for isolation treatment. Those with mild symptoms were given medicinal decoction prepared by Hua Tuo. Areas were also designated for isolation treatment.
In addition, all members of the army are wearing masks and gloves that were made overnight. They wash their hands and faces frequently every day. Tableware and utensils are washed and disinfected with boiling water...
Hua Tuo told Wen Yuan privately that sergeants with mild symptoms can basically recover after taking decoction for ten to eight days. But those with more severe symptoms can only rely on their physical constitution to fight death. If they can take the medicine, After surviving the outbreak of the disease, you can recover after a period of rest. If not, the only thing waiting is death. In short, whether these severe patients die or live can only depend on their fate.
In short, everything that needs to be done has been done. Now Wen Yuan can only pray to God that too many of his most precious soldiers will not die in this disaster. As for how many people will die, Wen Yuan really doesn't dare to think about it...
Sure enough, as Hua Tuo said, on the second day, the symptoms of the plague broke out in the army. On the second day and night, the first Julu soldier who was severely infected with the plague died because the infection was too severe and the medicine was ineffective. Then the second one, The third... Overnight, more than 700 Julu soldiers who were sent to the critical isolation area died due to their severe illness and lack of treatment...
These people were covered with sackcloth, carried on stretchers, and taken to an area on the ceiling to be burned.
In addition to people, horses were also infected with the plague to varying degrees. For these sick horses, Wen Yuan reluctantly ordered them all to be killed. The horse corpses were also piled together and burned.
The cavalrymen and their horses in the Valiant Cavalry Battalion already had feelings for each other. They watched helplessly as their closest companions were brutally killed. Many people shed tears and cried out in pain...
Unconsciously, it was already dawn. Wen Yuan was standing outside the isolation tent. Every time he saw a stretcher being carried out, his expression twitched. His heart felt like he had been stabbed hard by a sharp knife. These were all for him The most elite soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died of this damn plague. Not to mention Wen Yuan's heartache, even they themselves were not willing to die.
Bai Datong was also standing by the passage where the corpses were transported. He stared blankly as the corpses of his colleagues were carried out one after another. His eyes were as red as two red cherries. He strongly requested the leader of the team to come and check on Chen Si's condition. .But he begged for a long time at the door of the quarantine area and was not allowed in. He insisted that the brother guarding the door tell him immediately if there was any news about Chen Si. He just stood stupidly at the door for a whole day and night. .
But at this moment, the brother guarding the door told Bai Datong that Chen Si could not survive the night when the disease broke out and died.
Bai Datong's body trembled and swayed as if he had lost support.
He and Chen Si were brothers who served as soldiers together in the same village. Although they were not relatives, although they often had a close relationship together, they were just like they were born from the same mother's womb.
"Chen Si, come back to life with me..." Bai Datong's eyes widened suddenly. He was about to rush forward. He wanted to see the last face of his dead brother. Seven or eight giant deer soldiers couldn't hold him back. He didn't know that Wenyuan was standing in front of him, so he collapsed on the ground like a deflated ball.
"Chen Si, it's all because you are so damn skinny. If you are as big as me, how can you not survive such a minor illness?"
"Chen Si, you damned said you were going to buy me a drink after this fight, but in the end you defaulted on the bill. You said you wouldn't default on the bill, but you did. You're such a coward. You even bought me a drink. I don’t even have the courage…”
"..."
Bai Datong sat there and muttered to himself in despair. What he said made Wen Yuan feel sad. Several soldiers wanted to come forward to persuade him, but Wen Yuan drove them away. At this time, any persuasion was useless. Let him Let's vent properly. It's better to pour out all the bitterness in your heart than to keep it blocked in your heart.
Bai Datong suddenly stood up suddenly, startling the sergeant beside him. When he saw him, he pointed to the sky and cursed angrily: "Who is it? Who is it? Chen Si, I will definitely avenge you. Just wait. I will definitely kill the person who harmed you. If I know who harmed you, I will stab you a thousand times or ten thousand times."
Bai Datong's words moved Wen Yuan's heart. His face felt cold. Cold murderous intent suddenly filled his body. He gently patted Bai Datong's shoulder and said: "You wait. This revenge. I will definitely repay it for my brothers."
Wait until dawn. The results of the first day's death toll come out. A total of 837 people died of plague symptoms. However, Hua Tuo said that the disease outbreak occurs sooner or later. This number will inevitably continue to rise. And the disease The later the outbreak occurs, the higher the possibility of death. According to Hua Tuo's estimate, the death toll should be at least 1,500 people...
The only good news is that the conditions of those soldiers with mild symptoms have been significantly relieved after taking the medicinal soup prepared by Hua Tuo. And Wenyuan's preventive measures have played a significant role. There were very few people in the military camp newly infected with the plague on this day. Very few. Since we use the right method, I believe the epidemic will be completely controlled in a short time.
only……
"Fifteen hundred people..." This was a number that made Wen Yuan feel so distressed. He only felt that there was an evil fire with nowhere to vent. At this moment, Zhang Jaw, who took over the overall command of Wen Yuan, reported another update. Bad news. The front stronghold can no longer be defended.
