Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 694
More than a month has passed since the siege of Jingxing. The Liao army had already run out of food and had to rely on killing horses to satisfy their hunger. The continuous high-intensity offensive also caused extremely heavy casualties to the Liao army. The 12 troops trapped in Jingxing were left with only a few. When it reached [-], the accumulation of too many bones and the spread of animals, the demon that most frightened the army finally came out, and an unknown plague spread rapidly among the Liao army.

The combat effectiveness of the Liao army was quickly weakened, and the continuous high-intensity offensive was forced to stop. At this time, the Song army also discovered the abnormality of the Liao state.

Song Army coach Di Qing issued five emergency orders.

First, soldiers with symptoms of fever, vomiting and diarrhea should be isolated immediately.

Second, all Song Army soldiers must take Tiezhou Quyansan every day.

Third, it is not allowed to touch the animals in the well, and it is not allowed to drink raw water. The water must be boiled before drinking.

Fourth, it is not allowed to touch the enemy's corpses. After the battle, the corpses and mountain roads should be burned with kerosene, and the roads and latrines should be covered with quicklime.

Fifth, any form of surrender of Liao soldiers is not allowed. Any Liao soldier who approaches the pass must be shot immediately.

The five emergency orders made the Song army highly nervous. At this time, everyone knew that the plague broke out in the Liao army, and the nature of the war began to change. From the initial prohibition of the Liao army breaking out of the siege, it became that the plague soldiers were not allowed to leave the valley.

Before dawn, Niangzi's defenders noticed the movement on the mountain road, and a group of more than a thousand soldiers from the Liao army came towards the pass with white flags.

General Cao Wenjing rushed to the pass immediately when he got the news. He looked up the mountain road with a binoculars, and saw three or four hundred paces away, a large group of soldiers from the Liao army were holding white flags and were walking feebly towards the pass. Come on, everyone has dull eyes and sick faces.

"Damn it, let the patient surrender!"

Cao Wenjing gritted his teeth in hatred. He could see very clearly that these surrendered soldiers were clearly sick. Obviously, the Liao army wanted the Song army to be infected with the plague, so that they could no longer defend the pass.

"Stop them with fire oil!"

Dozens of large pots of kerosene fell down on the city, and the clay pots shattered. The black kerosene gathered on the ground and slowly flowed down the mountain road. When the enemy army was two hundred steps away from the city, Cao Wenjing shot it out with his own hands. A rocket suddenly ignited a fire on the mountain road.

The soldiers kept throwing kerosene down the city one by one. The raging fire blocked the way of the surrendering soldiers and continued to spread. The soldiers of the Liao army who surrendered were frightened and retreated. Soon, hundreds of soldiers dodged in a hurry, were hit by the rolling logs, fell directly into the raging fire, and were quickly engulfed by the fire.

The other soldiers were scared to shit.They stumbled and fled down the mountain, but before they could get there, the soldiers at the foot of the mountain fired arrows at random, shooting and killing the remaining hundreds of sick soldiers on the mountain road.

It was also Yeluna who was also in Niangziguan. Seeing that his strategy of diverting disasters to the east failed, he was extremely depressed.

The severe epidemic has infected [-]% of the soldiers, including his deputy Yelu Hulu, who has died of tens of thousands of people due to the disease, and more than [-] people have no cure and are waiting to die of illness.

No one knows how the plague broke out. Many soldiers speculated that the plague of the dead soldiers was infected when the beasts bit the corpses, and then the beasts were hunted by the soldiers as food, and the plague began to appear.

Of the 12 troops under Yeluna, there are still 3000 troops left. Among the 4 troops, more than 70 people have suffered from the epidemic. The remaining [-] people do not know whether they have been infected. They are divided into ten battalions. More than [-] miles long mountain road.

Every day there was news of a newcomer getting sick, and the entire Liao army was in extreme panic. Once someone got sick, he would be kicked out of the barracks immediately, his belongings would be burned, and he would be driven out without food or medicine.

Therefore, many soldiers were seriously ill, and they tried their best to hide it, lest they would be kicked out. As a result, more people would be infected, and a vicious circle had been formed.

Yeluna also didn't know what to do. He knew very well that once Yelu Hongji knew that the Jingxing soldiers had a plague, he would not send anyone to rescue him.

"Your Majesty, the plague is raging here in Niangzi Pass. If you stay here, your entire army will be wiped out sooner or later. Why don't you go to Jingxing Pass!" More than a dozen generals begged him one after another.

Yeluna also took a look at the high pass city on the mountain, so he sighed and ordered: "Take the deputy general, and the other sick soldiers can stay here!"

Yeluna also finally made an unacceptable and cruel decision to abandon [-] sick soldiers, take Yeluhulu alone in a carriage, and lead the army to evacuate to the east.

In a long and narrow valley, more than 3000 sick soldiers were isolated here. There was no military doctor or medicine, and the dead soldiers could not be treated.

Many people want to rush out of this valley of death, but the entrance of the valley is blocked by heavy soldiers. If they get close to the entrance of the valley, they will be shot to death by random arrows, and hundreds of dead horses will be thrown into them every day to satisfy their hunger.

All the soldiers were desperate, sitting scattered in the canyon waiting to die.

This afternoon, dozens of sick soldiers accidentally discovered that the soldiers guarding the valley mouth had disappeared. They walked slowly out of the valley mouth, only to find that the Liao army outside the valley had disappeared.

"They left us and went!"

Dozens of soldiers rushed back to the valley, yelling, and the news spread quickly. The main force left them and retreated eastward. Fear and anger caused the soldiers to explode completely. The soldiers of the Liao army went desperately to catch up with the main force.

In the darkness of night, dozens of bonfires were lit in an open space in Jingxing, and more than 4 soldiers gathered around the bonfire to eat horse meat and drink soup. Sounds and screams.

Yeluna also stood up and said angrily, "What happened?"

A soldier ran to inquire, and after a short while, he ran back in panic and said, "Report to Your Majesty, tens of thousands of sick soldiers have caught up."

Yeluna was also stunned. He suddenly turned around and glared at a general, "How did you arrange it?"

The general was also at a loss, and quickly explained: "The humble post left 300 people guarding Taniguchi. I don't know why they didn't defend it?"

Yeluna was also furious, "Bastard! It's messed up now, what should we do?"

The chaos that Yeluna also mentioned refers to the fact that sick soldiers mixed in and would infect other soldiers.

All the generals knew what to do?They looked at Yeluna together, waiting for his decision.

Yeluna also gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want to kill each other, since they don't want to die, don't blame me for being cruel."

He immediately ordered: "Those who disturb the army without authorization can be executed on the spot!"

Several generals were startled, and quickly persuaded: "It's better to gather them first, killing people will be more chaotic now!"

Yeluna also shook his head, "They won't be fooled anymore, since they haven't mixed into the army yet, isolate them and kill as many as they can!"

Yeluna didn't hide anymore, and immediately passed on the order, "All soldiers who suffer from the disease are quarantined, and those who disobey will be executed!"

In fact, the situation is out of control. Soldiers who experienced the fear of isolation in Death Valley are unwilling to be isolated again. No one is willing to obey orders. Infected by the epidemic, they have poisoned their former companions one after another.

But the commander's order made the fearful normal soldiers of the Liao army no longer taboo and started killing. In their eyes, these soldiers infected with the epidemic were no longer their companions, but were possessed by demons, and they began to ruthlessly kill the sick Soldier.

Tens of thousands of sick soldiers originally wanted a way to survive, but unexpectedly they were massacred. Their anger was uncontrollable, and they exploded. They roared and snatched weapons and fought with normal soldiers. A serious internal strife broke out in the Liao army. They couldn't see each other clearly at night, and the panic made all the soldiers of the Liao army lose their minds. They hacked and killed each other indiscriminately, and Jingxing Road was in chaos.

It was getting brighter, and the exhausted Liao army finally calmed down. Jingxing Road was full of blood and blood. More than 3 people died in the internal strife, and countless others were injured. The armor of the remaining [-] soldiers was stained red with blood. , It is no longer clear who is a sick soldier and who is a normal soldier.

Yeluna was also covered in blood. He felt that he was also infected by the disease. Only half of the dozen or so generals were left, and the other generals died in the chaos.

Yeluna was also desperate, and he had no choice but to send a few soldiers to Jingxing Pass with his own letter to ask the Song army to surrender.
