Chapter 40: 1,000 to 100,000 (Medium)

Through a simple temptation, Xu Kang discovered that the corruption of the Yellow Turban Army was much more serious than he had imagined.

But it's no wonder, after all, the peasant uprising had great limitations, and Zhang Jiao was just an opportunistic man, without any eloquence, so it led to the former Yellow Turban Army becoming the current "Yellow Turban Thief".

And this also made Xu Kang's mixing plan much smoother.

After he disguised himself as a small leader who embezzled military rations, he immediately dispelled the other party's vigilance, and successfully deceived the door of the Yellow Turban Army.

The other party obviously didn't take the more than 200 of them into account, and after putting them in the camp, they only sent a dozen or so to escort them.

As for the baggage they brought, no one turned it over, and it seemed that they were going to report it to the local Qu Shuai after dawn, so that he could personally deal with Xu Kang and these "embezzlers".

It's a pity they don't have that opportunity.

After leaving the range of the arrow tower, as Xu Kang shouted "do it", more than two hundred baggage soldiers immediately waved the spears in their hands and slashed towards the more than a dozen escorted Yellow Turban soldiers!

With or without intention, more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers were hacked and killed on the spot before they had time to resist, but their screams also alarmed the nearby Yellow Turban Army.

Someone immediately shouted.

"Enemy attack!"

"The Han army has mixed in!"

"Come on, people......"

Then there was the sound of gongs and drums.

Seeing this scene, Xu Kang's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly shouted to the baggage soldiers around him again.

"Set fire!"

As he spoke, he used the torch in his hand to ignite the hay on the baggage cart beside him, and then raised the spear in his hand and stabbed the butt of the horse pulling the baggage cart hard!

"Sigh ......"

The stabbed pony neighed, and then pulled the lit hay cart and galloped through the Yellow Turban Army's camp.

Seeing Xu Kang's approach, the other baggage soldiers also followed suit, and soon, more than 70 burning baggage carts were pulled by the wounded horses to all directions of the Yellow Turban Battalion.

In the process of galloping, one after another the baggage carts overturned because they hit the tent of the Yellow Turban Army, and at the same time, the top of the tent was set on fire, and the tent ignited the weeds next to it, and the fire suddenly became bigger.

The Yellow Turbans, who had just woken up from their sleep, were stunned, and while they were gathering people to put out the fire, they were carrying weapons and looking for the arsonist.

Seeing this scene, Xu Kang immediately made a decision, directly summoned his war horse, and then swung the spear in his hand forward.

"Target North Gate, everyone rush with me, the pig is strong and opens the way for me!"

"Whew!"

With Xu Kang's order, Pig Jianqiang suddenly let out a high-pitched and loud howl, and then shook off his four hooves and ran forward.

There is a proverb in the mountains called "one pig and two tigers", which does not mean that wild boars are more powerful than tigers, but that the probability of casualties in the mountains is higher than that of tigers!

The wild boar is reckless, and even the tiger is afraid of three points!

Especially for a big guy like a pig with more than 500 kilograms, the average tiger is not its opponent, which Xu Kang can be said to have a deep understanding of.

But now, it's the turn of the Yellow Turbans to feel it for themselves.

A squad composed of five Yellow Turban Army, because they blocked the strong front of the pig, only one of them took a face, and there was a result of one death, one cripple and three serious injuries, which frightened the dozen or so Yellow Turban Army next to them to drop their torches and turn around and run.

Shouting while running.

"Wild boar...... Wild boars eat people! ”

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Help me...... Help me......"

For a while, the Yellow Turbans who were responsible for searching for the arsonists ran away, the Yellow Turbans who were responsible for extinguishing the fire also ran away, and even the Yellow Turbans who were responsible for patrolling with torches also ran away, and the entire camp suddenly became chaotic.

Seeing this scene, even Xu Kang, the initiator, was a little stunned.

However, he quickly reacted, the reason why such a situation occurred was all because of one person, that is, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army - Zhang Jiao!

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the plague was rampant, nearly two-thirds of the people died because of the plague, ten rooms and nine empty, and many villages and even every household died, which can be described as miserable.

And of all the plagues, typhoid fever is the most terrible disease!

At that time, there was no specific medicine for fighting typhoid bacilli, and the sanitary conditions after natural disasters were extremely poor, and even 7 out of 10 people died because of it!

In the face of such a terrible disease, can people just sit back and die?

The answer, of course, is no, because according to the history books, at least two people had a way to deal with typhoid fever.

One is Zhang Zhongjing, who is known as the "Medical Saint", and the other is Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army!

However, there is a fundamental difference between the two approaches.

In the face of the ravages of the plague, Zhang Zhongjing was very sad and indignant, he hated the corruption of the rulers, so he devoted himself to the study of the diagnosis and treatment of typhoid fever, and finally brought the great "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" to the world, saving the people from fire and water.

As for Zhang Jiao, after he found a way to deal with typhoid fever, he founded Taiping Dao, and then relied on the means of "Shi Fu Shui" to gather believers, and finally rebelled under the banner of "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand"!

This method is obviously effective, and it has successfully established faith for the Yellow Turban Army, so that this army, which is composed entirely of peasants, bursts out with great combat effectiveness!

Even Dong Zhuo, who beat the Qiang and Huns to a loss of temper in the north, suffered a big loss in the face of the Yellow Turbans and fled!

But as the saying goes, it is called "striking iron depends on its own hardness", and because of Zhang Jiao, he got the "buff" Yellow Turban Army, and once he encountered an emergency, the collapse was a matter of an instant.

For example, now, because of Xu Kang's appearance, their "buff buff" has disappeared and has been replaced by two "negative buffs" - "night blindness" and "panic".

In this era, it is a luxury for ordinary people to even have enough to eat, let alone nutrition, so most people are malnourished.

Malnutrition is not fatal, but vitamin A deficiency can cause people to suffer from a problem - night blindness!

Night blindness is the inability to see at night, if it is normal it is fine, but once there is an emergency, something will happen!

The current Yellow Turban Camp is full of burning military tents, and there are huge wild boars running rampant in the camp, as well as the Yellow Turban Army shouting and running.

Faced with such a scene, but unable to see anything, panic quickly swept through the entire Yellow Turban camp.

Under the control of this panic, their instincts made them clench their weapons and stab anyone who came near them without hesitation!

The Yellow Turban Army, the camp has been bombed!
