Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 126: Throwing corpses! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friend 2023…3357~)

Jiangxia, Yundu County.

Sun Ce stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the soldiers rushing towards him from the direction of Nanyang, with a calm smile on his face.

The enemy army really came to attack Jiangxia as the brocade bag said.

In this way, Gongjin, who is far away in Runan, will not get into trouble.

However, Kuai Liang, who was beside him, looked at the enemy's catapults in the front and the army some distance behind, with a look of confusion on his face.

Normally, catapults, as powerful and precious siege resources, are usually heavily protected.

Plus, since the siege distance is far enough, there's no need to put them at the front of the army...

Kuai Yue pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the reason.

As a strategist who was not considered to be vicious, how could he have thought of the thoughts of a top vicious strategist like Cheng Yu?

Until I saw the soldiers pushing the catapults had thick face cloths covering their faces.

When the catapult was followed by a trailer covered with white cloth, a word suddenly popped into Kuai Liang's mind:

plague!

Instantly, Kuai Liang's face turned pale, and he said to Sun Ce in a trembling voice:

"The enemy...the enemy is going to throw plague-infected corpses into our city!"

"what?!"

Sun Ce turned his head and looked at Kuai Liang, also horrified!
No, throwing corpses infected with the plague?

Is this the kind of dirty trick a human could come up with?

No wonder Cao Cao liked to massacre people wherever he went.

How could it be intended to intimidate opponents and suppress aristocratic families?
It's simply to satisfy the twisted and perverted desire to kill and destroy in one's heart!

Although he had already greeted Cao Cao's ancestors for eighteen generations.

However, Sun Ce and Kuai Liang could only watch helplessly, unable to stop the enemy's actions.

However, at this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded behind them, and the two people's anxious mood instantly changed from worry to joy:
"If it's about the plague, even though I'm not very talented, I do have some knowledge of it!"

……

Below the city.

At Cao Cao's command, the soldiers immediately untied the body wrapped in white cloth.

Suddenly, a foul odor hit my face!

Even with a thick face cloth covering it, one could still smell the disgusting, strong stench of corpse.

Although they were afraid that they would be infected with the disease, their lord had promised them a generous reward.

And promised that if they died of the disease, their families would be treated well.

For the sake of their families and their own future, they are naturally willing to seek a little wealth in this danger!
As the body tied with stones was placed on the large wooden spoon of the launcher.

Countless corpses were thrown towards Yundu City like meteors!
Some bodies crashed into the city walls, while others flew directly into the city.

Before long, hundreds of corpses were thrown into the city or on the city walls!
Cao Cao in the back watched this scene, his mouth twitching slightly:

“Then, once the plague breaks out in the city, the enemy will surely abandon the city and flee to Jingling.

"We only need to rob and kill them halfway, and we will win a great victory!"

Cheng Yu on the side also stroked his beard and chuckled:

"I am really looking forward to seeing the panicked expressions of the enemy, but unfortunately we are too far away and can only imagine it in my mind."

After saying that, Cheng Yu and Cao Cao looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Only Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu behind him showed guilty expressions on their faces...

……

On the tower of Yundu City. When Zhang Zhongjing's voice sounded behind Sun Ce and Kuai Liang.

The two of them just felt that each other's voice was as beautiful as the sound of nature!

Kuai Liang clapped his hands and laughed:
"That's right! How could we forget our best doctor who is good at preventing and treating plague?
"With the miraculous doctor Zhongjing here, how difficult is it to break a mere plague scheme?"

But as he was laughing, Kuai Liang's face suddenly darkened:

"Fortunately, we listened to the advice and invited Dr. Zhongjing here in advance.

"If we hadn't made preparations in advance, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to deal with the enemy's vicious plan now!"

Sun Ce's smile also froze:
"That is to say, the letter sent by Liu Bei's army had known that Cao's army would use this plan more than ten days in advance...

"Who on earth could even think of this?
"Even with Gongjin's wisdom, I'm afraid he wouldn't have thought of this...

"I suddenly believe that the blizzard they talked about might really come in more than 20 days..."

Zhang Zhongjing reminded:

"Now that we know the enemy's strategy, we need to respond immediately!

“The most critical point in epidemic prevention is time.

"As long as we solve the source of the plague before it spreads, we can effectively stop the spread of the plague!"

Sun Ce nodded immediately:

"Sir, you are absolutely right. Now our army will obey your orders!"

Zhang Zhongjing said "hmm" and was about to say something when he heard a loud bang!
The first plague-carrying corpse has already hit the city wall.

However, the accuracy of this first corpse was a bit poor, and the catapult also needed to be adjusted in terms of distance and projection force.

Zhang Zhongjing immediately sped up his speech:
"We must first ensure the safety of the soldiers on the front line.

"When I have nothing to do, I have prepared a lot of masks covered with medicine powder and placed them in my residence.

“This was also the inspiration given to me by the black turban that the lord wore when I first met him.

"I will go back and get the mask immediately. General, have the other soldiers keep an eye on the location of every body that falls in the city.

“Don’t let anyone near these bodies until I get the masks.

“In addition, the general needs to immediately clear out the crowd within a hundred meters of where the body fell.

"And have someone prepare a large amount of boiling water. I have a wonderful way to use it!"

After hearing Zhang Zhongjing's instructions, Sun Ce immediately went to carry out the order himself, leaving Dong Xi and Kuai Liang to watch the other side.

To prevent the enemy from making a feint and taking the opportunity to attack the city.

As plague corpses were sent into the city by catapults, panic inevitably broke out in the city.

There were even corpses flying directly towards Kuai Liang, but the quick-eyed and quick-handed Dong Xi blocked them in front of him and cut them into two pieces with one sword.

However, some of the broken corpses hit Kuai Liang's face, but it did not cause any injuries, only slightly scratching his skin...

In addition, corpses continued to fly into the city and smash into the houses of residents, causing considerable casualties.

Fortunately, Sun Ce was in charge personally and remained calm in the face of danger. All those who had direct or indirect contact with the corpse were isolated in a separate room.

As hundreds of corpses were sent into the city, even with Zhang Zhongjing's command, the city was inevitably in chaos.

Fortunately, the military and civilians were united in the end and the situation was finally stabilized.

Sun Ce put on the mask brought by Zhang Zhongjing and personally went forward to deal with the plague-infected corpses.

The soldiers were greatly encouraged when they saw this scene, and they also bravely helped their commander without fear of death.

It was not until dark that people gathered all the corpses in an open space in the corner of the city and burned them with fire.

The soldiers on the city walls were ordered to lift high and thick curtains to drive the smoke out of the city to prevent it from spreading into the city.

After doing all this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief...
