Chapter 353: Attack and Defense of Guiyu City (3)
Since the dinosaurs threw corpses into the city, the dinosaur army has not attacked for several days, but has sent small groups of troops to harass them from time to time.
In the infirmary in the city, in addition to the wounded soldiers, there have been several new patients in the past few days, and the symptoms of these patients are basically the same, the high fever is not stopped, and these people have already been unconscious when they are sent to the infirmary.
In this case, the doctors immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
After isolating these people, they hurriedly found Lin Mu, the prefect of Yucheng, and reported the situation.
After knowing the seriousness of this matter, the prefect of Guiyucheng hurriedly ordered the officials in the city to search for patients with similar symptoms from house to house.
Although such a move made the people very dissatisfied, but when it came to the lives of the people in the city, Lin Mu could no longer take care of the feelings of the people.
While searching for the sick, he sent people to explain to the people the consequences of allowing the plague to spread.
People who are not sick naturally do not want to be infected with this terrible disease, and in order to ensure their own safety, people actively report patients infected with the plague.
In the past few days, dozens of patients have been identified.
Moreover, the mortality rate of this plague is extremely high, and the first patients who were found lost their lives in just two days after coming to the hospital.
In order to protect the safety of the doctors, Lin Mu locked these patients in a separate house, and forbade anyone to come near them, this disease, with Xia Guo's medical level, there is no way at all, and can only watch these patients fend for themselves.
While Guiyu City was in the panic of the plague, the dinosaur people outside the city were in the same trouble.
The few sick dinosaur soldiers who didn't pay attention to it suddenly became ill, and the red dots on their bodies spread rapidly, and after that, the dinosaurs in the same camp all had more or less similar symptoms.
The fall of a soldier finally attracted the attention of the dinosaur people's high-level leaders, and all these sick dinosaurs were killed, and the corpses were quickly burned.
At first, the dinosaur people thought that the plague was spread by the corpses of those humans, but after an investigation by the dinosaur people's military doctors, it was found that the disease was not transmitted through the corpses.
The sick soldiers had not been in contact with human corpses, but had been in close contact with humans when they were fighting, meaning that they had been in contact with human blood at some or less.
This discovery made the high-level of the dinosaur people suddenly shocked, if human beings are the source of the infection of this disease, then this war will be extremely unfavorable to themselves, how can there be no blood in the war.
As long as they are under siege, they believe that this fortified city will sooner or later fall into their hands, but now this situation makes them a little unable to retreat.
Whether to immediately withdraw from the New World and abandon the city and wealth that was about to be acquired, or to take a gamble, the generals of the dinosaur people engaged in a fierce quarrel over these two difficult problems.
After some deliberation, the dinosaurs decided that they would wait a while, as long as they dealt with the sick soldiers and controlled the speed of transmission, they could reduce the damage.
Both humans and dinosaur people are extremely vulnerable in the face of the plague.
The two sides were very similar in their prevention methods, but to the disappointment of both sides, the plague continued to spread rapidly among the population, even when the corpses were carefully disposed of or the sick were killed.
Dozens of people were killed and injured on both sides every day, and as time passed, the dinosaur people finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
If this literature and art continues, his army will collapse without standing.
Looking at the smoke rising from the human city, the commander of the dinosaur people was secretly hated in his heart, gritted his teeth and ordered the army to start retreating.
If you continue to stay here and wait for human reinforcements to arrive, you will be in a desperate situation.
Human beings have a natural advantage in fighting on their own soil, and if the war drags on, it will bring a fatal blow to their side.
The unexpected situation of the guards of Guiyu City appeared, only to see that the enemy outside the city began to retreat like a tide, and the enemy retreated so simply, which made the two of them puzzled for a while.
Just now, I was worried that if the plague in the city continued, it would bring great pressure to defend the city.
Seeing that the enemy was retreating, in order to prevent the enemy from cheating, Zhao Jian immediately sent dragoons to investigate, and soon after, the dragoons returned and reported: "General, the enemy has indeed retreated!" ”
Shi Zhao and the others looked at each other, and they both had an incredible look on their faces, the previous situation was obviously that the enemy had the advantage, as long as it dragged on for another half a month, whether this would be in their own hands or not, neither of them had much confidence.
Relieved, the two began to shift all their energy to the plague in the city.
Without the threat of external enemies, the pressure in the city suddenly lightened, and the whole city began to be comprehensively disinfected, and the number of people who died of disease in the past few days has approached a thousand, and if it expands, the people in the whole city will die.
The people cooperated with the soldiers to clean up the garbage in the city, and boiled all the dishes, chopsticks and clothes in the house with boiling water according to the doctor's requirements.
At ten o'clock in the evening, after making sure that the enemy was really far away, the soldiers opened the city gate and buried the corpses of the humans scattered outside, and those dead dinosaur people directly cut off their heads and piled them up outside the city, as if doing so could show the strength of the human race to those alien races.
After a great sweep of the whole city, after four or five days, the spread of the plague gradually slowed down.
At this time, after Lin Jianya and Lin Shupi gathered an army of 40,000 in the north, they finally arrived at the foot of Guiyu City.
When they saw the ruined city walls and smelled the smell of corpses in the air, the two of them were suddenly shocked, and the scene in front of them could imagine what kind of great battle had taken place here before.
When Shi Zhao and the others saw the arrival of the two marshals, they hurriedly opened the city gate and welcomed the two in.
After seeing the tragic situation of almost every house in the city hanging white cloths, Lin Jianya hurriedly asked, "What's going on!" ”
Shi Yue sighed and told the two of them in detail what had happened.
After hearing that the enemy had driven humans to attack the city and slaughtered the surrounding villages, the two of them were furious, and when they heard that the enemy had attacked the city with their dead corpses and caused a plague in the city, their hearts had reached the extreme.
Lin Jianya said angrily: "Has it been four days since the enemy retreated? ”
Zhao Jian nodded and said, "It's been exactly four days now!" According to the spies, the enemy is resting in the northern stronghold. ”
"Leave 5,000 men to defend the city, and the rest will chase after me." Lin Jianya said with a gloomy face.
"Marshal, our army is now traveling a long way, and now it is tired, so let's repair it for a few days before doing the pursuit!" Lin Shupi suggested.
Lin Jianya was silent for a while and said: "Something serious must have happened in a hasty retreat when the enemy has the advantage, the advantage is on our side at this time, and the enemy must not be allowed to retreat back to the sea." ”
Seeing Lin Jianya so persistent, Lin Shupi sighed and said, "Since the marshal insists on doing so, then I will lead 10,000 people to support the enemy first." ”
Lin Jianya nodded and said, "It's okay, you must support the enemy when you go, and you must not fight hard with the enemy." ”
"I understand!" Lin Shubark arched his hand, fiddled and turned over and rode on the giant deer, quickly went out of the city, and after gathering his troops and horses, he began to pursue by the north.
Zhao Jian and Shi Yue, after Lin Shupi left, each left five hundred people with Lian Qian, and took the rest of the army and the army to turn.
As the army passed by the dinosaur man's previous camp, the soldiers suddenly noticed a dark hole nearby.
Lin Jianya hurriedly sent people down to the cave to check, and soon after, where did the soldiers get up to report, after learning that this cave could lead directly to the city, Shi Zhao and the others were suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, if the dinosaur people did not retreat, but directly killed the city through this tunnel, then the consequences were unimaginable.
"Hmph, this group of monsters seems to have some brains, and they can actually come up with such a way to attack the city." Lin Jianya snorted coldly.
"Marshal, the dinosaur people are extremely brave, we must not underestimate them!" Shi Yue reminded.
Lin Jianya nodded, waved his hand, and motioned for the army to move on.
Tens of thousands of troops, marching in batches, long marches stretched for miles.
One field cannon after another was pulled by the Ceratosaurus and slowly followed behind the team.
Zhou Xiong, who has become a veteran, has been promoted to the general manager after three years of training and outstanding performance.
The defensive battle of the previous days had left a long wound on his face, which made his originally upright face look a little hideous.
"Mr. Boss, we should be able to defeat the enemy this time!" A soldier asked.
Zhou Xiong sneered and said: "Remove that word, we are so right to people this time, and we can also pile up the enemy to death with a pile of people, you all listen to me, but if anyone runs away without a fight, don't blame me for being polite." ”
When the soldiers heard this, they smiled disapprovingly: "Mr. Zong, you just put your heart in your stomach, we have been brothers for so many years, that is not a well-known man, we don't have soft eggs here." ”
"Okay, this is Lao Tzu's soldier!" Zhou Xiong said loudly.
Lin Shubark, who was one step ahead, led the army on a rapid march, and the team of 10,000 people trotted through the jungle, throwing the large army behind far away.
It was a five-day walk from Guiyucheng to the stronghold on the northern coast, but the march was much more complicated, and even if it was a rapid march, Lin Shupi only saw the stronghold six days later.
At this time, the army in the camp of the dinosaur people was disheartened, and the plague spread with an uncontrollable trend, and in just half a month, nearly 10,000 people had been infected with this terrible disease, and even some officers were not spared.
At this time, in their hearts, the hearts that were once full of illusions have become extremely terrifying, and the soldiers just want to escape from this world inhabited by the devil as soon as possible.
In the absence of a cure, there is only one fate for a sick soldier, that is, he is ruthlessly killed by his companions, his body is cremated at will, and the charred corpse can only remain in this foreign land forever.
Inside the camp, demoralized dinosaurs are carrying supplies to the ships of the sea, they have regretted coming to this continent.
Although life in the Old World is difficult, at least it can still be lived, and if you continue to stay here, you will only die.
Lin Shupi observed the enemy's situation with a telescope, and when he saw that the enemy was preparing to evacuate, as well as those burning corpses, he immediately understood why this group of dinosaur people would have the advantage and give up the attack and return to Fish City.
The situation that their expedition team was infected with an unknown plague when Fang Shao was in his mind came to his mind, and Lin Shupi estimated that this group of dinosaur people was likely to follow in their footsteps when Fang Shao.
Lin Shupi couldn't help but stand up when he thought of this, "This is really heaven for them to die!" ”
With that, he immediately ordered: "All ready, artillery in position." ”
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately went into action, and the field guns dragged by the Horned Dragon were unloaded, pushed by four or five soldiers, and the guns were erected on a hill.
Under the cover of the woods, the dinosaur people did not even notice that these enemy forces were approaching them.
Groups of soldiers lined up in formation and waited for the order to attack.
The dinosaurs were defenseless, scattered around the stronghold, and within artillery range.
The artillerymen quickly loaded the gunpowder shells, adjusted the angle, and quietly waited for Lin Shubark's order.
After observing for a while, Lin Shupi said in a deep voice: "Fire!" ”
Boom Boom!
More than 20 field cannons, spewing out fiery snakes, whistling cannonballs flew quickly towards the scattered dinosaur people.
The vision of thunder on a sunny day startled the dinosaur people, and their commander hurriedly ran out of the camp, the sound was all too familiar to it, and the moment the cannon sounded, it realized that the humans were coming.
A whining horn sounded, and the dinosaur people ran around like headless flies.
In such a huge target, which is the live target of artillery, the artillery roars incessantly, harvesting fresh lives.
Not a single shell could have taken the lives of dozens of dinosaurs, and the soldiers who did not die clutched their bloody wounds and wailed.
The dinosaur people in the wild ran desperately towards the stronghold, as if they could hold on to their lives if they only escaped behind that wall.
After firing hundreds of shells, the dinosaur people finally calmed down under the pressure of their respective officers' shells.
Unable to figure out the number of enemies, they could only huddle in a small stronghold, and panic hung over the hearts of each soldier.
The impact of the plague has greatly reduced the combat power of the dinosaur people, and at this moment they have long lost their previous arrogance.
Leaving 2,000 men lurking in the jungle, they were ordered to raise dust with branches, creating the illusion that there were a large number of ambushes.
He personally led 8,000 men to the city and surrounded this stronghold.
The fleet of dinosaur people on the sea can only watch helplessly as their army is trapped in the stronghold, and they are helpless.
The commander of the dinosaur people stood on the city wall and looked at the human army in the distance, his slender eyes couldn't help but narrow.
In the distant jungle, there was a figure that appeared from time to time, and it was obvious that there were a large number of ambushes hidden there, and as a battle-hardened officer, it thought that it would not fall for the rudimentary tricks of humans.
