At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 332

That's right.

Xu Mu intends to use it.

It is the epidemic war.

In the Turkic grasslands, large-scale wind and cold spread...

That is the flu.

In this era, people's resistance is generally weak.

In the Wanmin City Medical Office, after day and night research, Chao Yuanfang and Sun Simiao had already developed a weakened version of the epidemic virus.

The fatality rate has been reduced by more than half.

But it will make people dizzy, weak, and drowsy all day long.

The spread is also extremely strong!

It's not that Xu Mu didn't think about spreading it among the Turkic army.

But this kind of thing is obviously unrealistic.

Jieli and Tuli are not fools.

Once an epidemic occurs in the army, it will be strictly controlled as soon as possible.

and so……

The direction he chose was the various ministries of the grassland!
It is the rear of these Turkic soldiers!
Their families, sheep and horses are all behind the grassland.

And 30 troops are going to attack Taiyuan...

The grassland ministries hardly formed any effective organization.

Once a disease breaks out...

The consequences can be imagined.

Can't control it at all!

I just want half a month.

Then it can spread to the entire grassland tribe!

Hearing Ling Qian's words, Princess Yicheng was a little confused.

Why don't you seem to understand.

But he still obeyed Ling Qian's instructions and put on the "mask" similar to a veil.

……

Mayi City.

Now Wang Cong is under a lot of pressure.

As a veteran, although he fought in the north and south, he has rich experience in serving the army and defending the city...

But the lord really thinks highly of him.

He was actually asked to guard Mayi!
At this time, he was standing on the tower of Mayi City, holding a telescope, and looked at the Turkic army ten miles away.

The corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

30 million troops!

Jieli 20, Tuli [-], all Chen Bing is ten miles away.

Eyeing Mayi.

The army's war horses formed a row, black and dense, looking very scary.

Even if he...

I have been in the army for most of my life, and I have never seen so many troops.

Moreover, these are the prairie army.

The combat power of the Turks is much stronger than that of the Central Plains.

Recalling what the lord said to him, Wang Cong couldn't help but smile wryly.

The lord let him persist for half a month.

half a month later.

The Turks will inevitably withdraw their troops.

But under such pressure, let alone half a month, he felt that it would be difficult to last for three days.

"General, my lord ordered someone to bring over the city defense equipment, and the inner city wall has already been built, and the city gate is completely blocked with cement!"

A partial general hastily climbed up the city wall and cupped his hands.

Hearing this, Wang Cong's nervous expression eased.

Fortunately, worry about these things.

With this Mayi, he still has the confidence to stick to it for fifteen days.

Then, he began to check the defense status of the various ministries on the tower.

Eliminate all possible mistakes and dangers.

In the battle of defending the city, the comparison is who is the best.

As long as he has few flaws and covers everything, there will be no situation where the city tower is climbed or the city gate is broken.

It didn't take long.

The Turkic army ten miles away seemed unable to hold back.

At sunrise, they began to charge, built ladders, and tried to climb the city wall.

And Wang Cong also sacrificed the mace and other equipment, frantically harvesting the lives of the Turkic warriors.

however……

One fell, and there was a second.

The Turkic soldiers are still stepping forward bravely.

From Jieli and Tuli's point of view, this city...

Very easy to break.

As the first city to invade Taiyuan, neither of them took it too seriously.

Their more attention is still on Jinyang City.

Only by breaking Jinyang City can Taiyuan be considered captured!
however……

This battle started in the morning and lasted until evening.

As a result, under the city of Mayi, blood and corpses were everywhere.

But the so-called Turkic warriors have never even gone up the tower.

No matter how they attack, the opponent seems to be prepared and firmly holds down their attacking momentum.

Against this watertight defense...

At night, Jieli and Tuli could only retreat angrily.

Didn't take it down during the day, let alone at night.

On the city floor.

Wang Cong looked at the Turks who did not continue to attack the city, and showed a touch of contempt: "The Turkic barbarians really don't know how to attack the city. This kind of method is even inferior to Dou Jiande!"

Actually.

Siege is all about energy.

As long as you keep attacking the city, the defenders will be exhausted and have no time to rest, and sooner or later there will be flaws.

Once a flaw appears, it is almost time for the city to break!

After all, the defenders of the city are generally the weak side.

There are fewer staff.

When defending the city, one person is almost used as two people.

Although this time Wang Cong adopted a shift system on the tower, there will be no such exhausting defensive situations.

But the Turks stormed for a day and withdrew their troops so hastily...

It has been completely exposed that they do not understand the art of war.

They may be strong on the grasslands.

But in the city's offensive and defensive battles, even Dou Jiande really can't compare.

Recalling the Hejian where he guarded for three years...

Wang Cong was deeply moved.

This is why the Xiongnu since the Qin and Han Dynasties and the current Turks have been unable to invade the Central Plains for a long time.

The Central Plains is full of cities!
Like steel teeth, embedded in the land of the Central Plains.

It is as difficult as climbing the sky to conquer.

……

prairie.

In these few days.

The witch doctor of the Turkic tribe discovered something.

Many people suffer from headaches.

and……

Almost every day more and more.

From one or two cases at the beginning, to dozens of cases every day!
The witch doctors realized that there might be a problem, and hurriedly gathered to discuss it.

"Could this be the wrath of the gods? The Great Khan is dead, but he has been unable to avenge the Great Khan?"

"Should we build an altar and ask the gods to calm down?"

"The usual medicinal materials are useless, it seems that I can only pray to the gods for forgiveness!"

"..."

They huddled together in a big tent and discussed for a long time.

at last.

came to a conclusion.

A disease that cannot be cured by medicine must be the anger of the gods.

Compared with the common people in the Central Plains, the grassland tribes have not yet accepted the advanced Han culture, and are still ignorant to some extent.

For example, ethical marriage...

In the grassland tribe, once someone gets sick, they are treated by witch doctors.

The witch doctor's treatment generally uses some commonly used medicinal materials.

Then add some so-called spiritual water.

Treat well.

If you can't cure it, ask God for forgiveness.

There are even many tribes who are still living a life of bare hair and blood, and naked clothes.

That's why the entire Turks are eyeing the Central Plains.

The Central Plains in their eyes...

Wealthy, fertile.

What the grassland does not have, the Central Plains has.

The tribes that are close to the Central Plains will go to the Central Plains to plunder every now and then.

And this time.

The ignorant steppe tribe.

It has never been discovered, but the disease is actually coming.

They started building altars and begging the gods for forgiveness.

until……

A witch doctor also fell ill.

They were even more frightened.

In the past, it was only ordinary people who were angered. Now, doesn't it mean that the gods are also dissatisfied with them?
