Zhang He's face was cold to see Zhang Xiu lead more than 30 cavalry to leave, although after fighting and fighting, the speed of the Lieyang Bow Cavalry is still very fast, Zhang He just ordered someone to chase for a while, then retreated and returned, in his heart for the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the princes' coalition army, is disappointed to the top, if the cavalry in the army can be more tenacious, dragging Zhang Xiu's pace to death, not only the Sun Bow Cavalry, even Zhang Xiu has a great chance of being captured.

At this time, cleaning the battlefield is a thing that excites the cavalry of the princes, and now the blades used by the Burning Sun Archers are made of 100 steel, which is no secret among ordinary soldiers, without Zhang He's orders, the generals of the cavalry have begun to lead the cavalry to clean up the battlefield, of course, the scimitars they get also belong to them.

"General, the cavalry under Yuan Shao and Sun Ce is too much, I didn't see them on the battlefield, and I didn't want to fall behind others when I took advantage." The lieutenant looked angry.

Zhang He waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the Burning Sun Archers will not leave the battlefield so easily, as long as the enemy is still there, they are useful, I hope that under the stimulation of excellent war horses and blades, they will work harder on the battlefield." ”

Zhang Xiu broke through in the opposite direction of Huang Zhong, and inevitably separated from Huang Zhong, Hanoi said that it was not big, it was not small, and now the ruling power of Hanoi was in the hands of the princes, and it became more difficult to find out the news.

After a fierce battle of more than 200 cavalry, only thirty-six people remained, which is definitely a huge loss for the Burning Sun Archer, every Burning Sun Archer is extremely unfavorable to train, if today's things are put on the body of the flying horse, the damage will definitely be smaller, and the best thing for the flying horse is to charge and kill on the battlefield.

Of course, the Sun Archers who died in battle inflicted more damage on the cavalry of the princes.

When night fell, in the big tent of the princes outside Huguan, Cao Cao's face was as low as water, and among the wounded soldiers, there was a phenomenon of soldiers fever, and several soldiers died, and the answer given by the military doctor was the plague.

This situation made the princes completely panicked, they were not afraid of the danger of Huguan, and they were not afraid of the strong combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the state army, but the plague of this era is definitely a terrible existence, under the rule of the plague, let alone an army of more than 100,000, even if it is a million army, the final outcome is very likely to be the annihilation of the whole army.

"There is a high probability that there is a plague in the army, and this matter must not be taken lightly." Cao Cao said.

"With the intention of Ben Hou, directly kill the feverish soldiers and burn them with fire to avoid the spread of the plague, our army has more than 100,000 people, once the plague spreads, it is a joke to want to break through and merge the state." Yuan Shaodao.

Although Cao Cao's face was unbearable, he still nodded, the fever is not necessarily infected with the plague, such as the wounded soldiers, there will also be a fever, as long as the wounds on the body gradually improve, the fever will be reduced, this is what ordinary generals understand, but now for the safety of the entire army, they have to choose a cruel method.

"The defenders of Huguan are the most elite part of the Bingzhou army, if you find a way to make the defenders in Huguan have a plague, why not break Huguan and sweep away the state." A fierce color flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes.

Sun Ce frowned slightly and said: "The two armies are fighting, what do they have to do with ordinary soldiers and civilians, if this is the case, even if they break through the Huguan, we can only be called brutal." ”

Zhou Yu on the side shook his head secretly after hearing this, in terms of being a person, Sun Ce yearns for being more upright.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Bo Fu said this is not true, if you can't break the pot pass, how can you kill the rebels, and the people of Bingzhou are grateful to Lu Bu, even after the army enters, the people will also rise up to resist, I think you must have experienced it when you were in Hanoi." ”

"In this way, if the Bingzhou army in Huguan can be infected with the plague, it will be easier for our army to win." Yuan Shao's eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Sun Ce could only nod helplessly.

That night, the princes' coalition army did not stop attacking Huguan because of such a thing as plague infection in the army, after the end of the army's attack, more than ten soldiers quietly let five corpses be placed outside Huguan under the cover of night, and then the princes' army directly chose to temporarily evacuate Huguan.

It has been a month since the princes' army attacked Huguan, from the initial continuous attack to the current scattered attack, the Bingzhou army in Huguan has gradually adapted.

At this time, among the princes' coalition army, there are about 100,000 warriors who can fight, and the state army is also 40,000 people, although it occupies a geographical advantage, when the princes' coalition army attacks the city, it is still inevitable that there will be casualties, and now, the loss of soldiers in Huguan has reached more than 10,000 people, especially when the princes' thunderbolt can hit Huguan during that time, the loss of soldiers is extremely powerful.

"My lord, the alliance of the princes suddenly retreated ten miles." Jia Xu hurried over, yesterday the princes still launched a fierce attack on Huguan, but he didn't expect to leave Huguan today.

"How can such a thing happen?" Lu Bu questioned that the army of the princes was not in a weak position at this time, and the possibility of withdrawing was very small.

At this moment, Hua Tuo hurriedly walked in under the leadership of Dian Wei.

"Marquis of Jin, today two doctors from the medical hall found wounded soldiers suspected of being infected with the plague in the army." Hua Tuo's tone was a little eager, too, in this era, the plague is something that changes color.

Lu Bu's face changed greatly when he heard this, due to the hot weather during this time, and the number of wounded soldiers was increasing, he was extremely concerned about the situation of the defenders in Huguan, as long as it was a means that could prevent problems that later generations thought of, all of them were used.

"Yuanhua, how many people are suspected of being wounded by the plague now?" Lu Bu asked.

"So far, only two people have been found, and they are wounded soldiers who were carried down from the battlefield today." Hua Tuo said truthfully.

"It is imperative to let these two wounded soldiers live alone in one place first, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach, but anyone who has been in contact with the two wounded soldiers will be held separately in another place, and they must be investigated carefully in the army, and Yuanhua should lead the doctors in the infirmary as soon as possible to deploy medicines that can fight this plague." Lu Bu ordered.

Hua Tuo said: "Marquis of Jin, once the plague spreads, it is extremely difficult to control it, and it is also extremely difficult to cure the plague with medicine. ”

Lu Bu said in a heavy tone: "At this time, there is Lao Yuanhua, if the plague cannot be completely controlled, once the plague spreads, it may extend to the entire state." ”

"Whoa." Hua Tuo also felt the weight of his responsibility.

Jia Xu said: "My lord, could it be that the soldiers in the princes' army are also infected with the plague, so the princes' alliance will choose to temporarily retreat?" ”
