Chapter 157: The Plague God

What is the best way to deal with nomads?

Plague!

For example, when we dealt with their steppe brothers in the Qing Dynasty later, they liked to send people infected with xing disease to the Mongolian steppe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, Yang Wangye is a good person, he won't be so shameless, and this is not on the prairie, this is in the pass, he doesn't want to release a anthrax or something like that to create a Resident Evil, the virus against people is definitely not good, but the virus against horses is completely fine, and there is no need for anything too advanced, ordinary horse flu is fine, other powers are too strong, it is easy to cause trouble to yourself.

Well, inside his box was a whole box of small vials filled with equine flu virus cultures.

There are countless small germs that can be described as vast, swimming around happily, waiting to go out and show their skills, and now this season is their favorite, this kind of little thing is an explosive infection, a sick horse can go out millions with a random sneez, and the infection rate is as high as 80 percent, once they are released, according to this ratio, it will not be long before the 250,000 war horses in the south have to lie down 200,000.

Yang Wang Ye was looking forward to seeing that spectacular scene.

Can the steppe cavalry gallop on the battlefield without horses?

What's even happier is that the fatality rate of this disease is not high, only five percent, it is just a higher pathogenic rate, but even if it is not treated, pay attention to hygiene, let the horses rest for half a month, basically they are better, if they are calculated according to this ratio, that is to say, at most 200,000 sick horses 10,000 died, so what about the war horses that did not die?

Of course, he laughed it off.

"Live, ha, ha......!"

Thinking that he would not only be able to destroy this most powerful enemy, but also be able to pick up their 190,000 war horses, countless cattle, sheep and livestock for nothing, and possibly a large number of free laborers, especially the strong and hard-working free laborers, Yang Wangye was so happy that he touched his beard and laughed wildly like a villain in Peking Opera.

"Take it and do as the king says!"

In the stunned eyes of the members of the Jinyi Guard Special Operations Team behind him, he pointed to the box and said solemnly.

Those rangers immediately saluted, quickly stepped forward to distribute these weird-looking small bottles, a total of ten groups of team members divided up all the virus culture liquid, and then quickly rushed out of the warehouse deep in the palace in the dark, until they ran to the square in front of the Taihe Hall to board a hot air balloon, and then slowly took off and went straight to the control line of the Qing army in Baoding and Cangzhou with the help of the small north wind.

This kind of thing can only be sown from the sky, otherwise the operation cannot guarantee safety, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops there.

The distance of more than 100 kilometers is only an hour or two for a high-altitude hot air balloon, and soon a pile of corrals appeared in the east and west on the vast plain under the moonlight.

Because the common people in this area have run out, the vacant houses are just cheaper for the Tatar cavalry, and the wheat seedlings that have just grown in the fields, the dense autumn grass in the wilderness, and even the stolen grain have become the fodder for their horses, and according to some basic establishments, all the Tatar cavalry are scattered on this vast plain of 20,000 square kilometers. The southern boundary of the deer, Hengshui, Dezhou line, the northern boundary of Yixian, Dingxing, Bazhou line is all the Tartar control area, like a small tribe scattered, with the village as the center, each tribe set aside a sufficient area of pastoral area, anyway, their speed of maneuver is fast, once the Ming army launches a large-scale attack, even the southernmost Tatar cavalry in the area of Deer, the speed can be put into the battlefield in twenty-four hours.

At this time, these Tartars were all lying comfortably in the house where they lived, drinking the wine of Yinzhi and Zhou Peigong's filial piety, gnawing on the beef and mutton they raised, and hugging the Ji girl who was also sent by the third elder brother and the governor of Zhou......

Because the green battalions and regimental training in various places have closed the city and defended it, and the people outside the city have fled, it is difficult for these Tartar cavalry to capture the woman they dream of, and they can't cause a fire with the green battalion and regimental training before defeating the Ming army, after all, there are nearly 200,000 green battalions and regimental training in this area, and it is not so simple to fight.

So you can't break through those cities to rob women, but what about their spiritual life?

In desperation, during this time, Yinzhi and Zhou Peigong could only do their best to collect those girls from all over the country to comfort the grassland brothers, but in order to take care of the overall situation, the third elder brother even had to give several of his own women to those Great Khan uncles, as for Zhou Peigong's current nickname, they have become Zhou Guigong!

Fortunately, these tartars are not picky eaters, anyway, as long as they are women, they are better than their wives with skin as thick as sandpaper.

And now these guys who enjoy a happy life didn't expect that at this time, a group of plague gods had floated above their heads.

"Release, keep put!"

In the sky thirty feet above a village in the south of Baoding, a hot air balloon with a stove turned off fluttered gently, and on the hot air balloon, two brocade guards were holding on to the rope and slowly lowering it, while an officer next to them gave a low command.

"Okay, open!"

Suddenly, he shouted, and one of the brocade guards quickly pulled the string that was side by side with the rope.

At the end of this rope, ten zhang high from the ground is a special container, with a thin pull, the side lid quickly opened, and then lifted the thick rope, the inside piece by piece was stirred, and the feed block sprinkled with the virus culture liquid was immediately poured out, directly fell in a fence full of war horses below, after a slight commotion, those war horses were immediately attracted by the aroma of feed, and then leaned up to smell it, and then ate it.

At this time, on the hot air balloon above their heads, the brocade guard retracted the spreader, quickly loaded another bag of feed, and then flew to the next fence.

As for the horses that ate the feed of the virus......

This virus is infected through the respiratory tract and digestive tract, and there is an incubation period of several days, so including these war horses themselves, they don't know that the flu virus in their nasal cavity and stomach is multiplying wildly, and it will soon attack their immune system, making them have a high fever, cough and sneeze constantly, and their limbs are weak and they just want to lie down and don't want to stand up, and of course they don't want to run, as for charging into battle, it's a complete joke.

I can't stand on my feet and charge a fart!

And after dawn, their owners will let them all out and gallop across the vast pastures, to play freely with the horses of other herds, and then unscrupulously spread more viruses with their snorts, and then those infected by them will infect the next batch of unlucky horses, until finally all the horses in the whole area have enjoyed the virus bath and become a herd of unstable waste.

Of course, it takes time.

Therefore, the plague gods of Lord Yang need to poison as many horses as possible.

Ten hot-air balloon rangers floated from north to south through the Tartars' control zone, then spread virus-stained feed among every herd they could fly, and even as many horses as they could once they found the right wind. When they finally couldn't find more targets, the men simply landed, separated up and carried all the remaining virus culture to find the nearest herd, touched it and splashed all their brains inside, and then returned to the hot air balloon and quietly continued to fly south.

Because of the direction of the wind, they could no longer fly back to Beijing, so they could only continue to fly south to the Ming army-controlled area south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, this is not important, the important thing is that they spent one night sowing the seeds of the plague among more than fifty horses, and at least five thousand horses ate the virus feed they sown, and in this night's work, a huge army of virus horses was ready to go.

And their owners, without the slightest notice.

When the sun rose the next day, the Tartar cavalry, as usual, rode their horses that were still in the latent period and did not show any abnormality, just as they had done on the steppe, riding their horses and whipping on the vast North China Plain.

And then the owners of the war horses who were not infected also rode their war horses, galloping on this vast plain, competing with each other, hunting, drinking, their war horses were also chasing each other, snorting at each other, enjoying the grass stained with virus saliva, breathing the air of countless viruses, one horse infected a bunch, one group infected a group, one group infected another, like a chain reaction of an atomic bomb kept spreading......

"Wait, we just have to wait."

Yang Wang Ye said very reservedly.

"War is to destroy the enemy by any means at its disposal, as long as it can kill the enemy, we can set them on fire, we can poison them, we can also spread plague on them. Now it's just a plague against their horses, and if necessary, we can spread plague against people, which is not an invention of this king, when the Mongols went west, their favorite thing to do was to use trebuchets to beat the dead bodies infected with the plague into the enemy's cities. ”

Then he added.

A bunch of officers in front of him humbly made a study statement.

"Lord Wang, what should I do next?"

Gao Huai asked excitedly.

"Fierce troops, waiting for the attack on all fronts!"

Yang Feng said.

"How many of our infantry can ride horses?"

Then he asked.

"The vast majority of them will, there is no shortage of horses here, after our soldiers came to the north, because there is basically no decent war, there is a content of horseback riding in ordinary training, but it can't be compared with those in the cavalry brigade, it is a little difficult for them to ride on horses and cut people, let alone keep speed and charge with spears."

Gao Huai said.

"That's fine, this time we are not only going to attack, but also to keep attacking, this time the king will come to the Yellow River and unify the Central Plains!"

Yang Wang Ye said. (To be continued.) )
