Chapter 325 Emergency Isolation
On the third day, the number of sick Golden Wind troops began to surge, and the number of them expanded several times, even to tens of thousands, and even the medical officers who treated the soldiers also fell ill.
At this moment, Jin Jun was shocked, and the news couldn't be suppressed, and finally reached Lin Haotian.
Originally, people just thought that the sick Jin Jun was infected with the wind cold, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, the sick Jin Jun soldiers not only have a high fever that does not go away, but also have begun to appear lumps on their bodies, which is a symptom they have never seen before.
It was Chu Lianyu who reported the matter to Lin Haotian, and after hearing about it, Lin Haotian was also quite puzzled, and he asked: "When did this disease start to appear in the army?"
"Two days ago!"
Chu Lianyu said: "According to the soldiers, two days ago, the enemy army threw a lot of corpses into the city recently, and the first group of brothers of our army who fell ill were all people who had carried corpses, and the soldiers were suspicious...... It is suspected that this may be the witchcraft of the You Yan coalition army......"
"Witchcraft, nonsense!" Lin Haotian had never believed in such a thing as a cow, a ghost, a snake or a god in his life.
He glanced at Chu Lianyu, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What are the symptoms of the sick soldiers?"
Chu Lianyu replied: "Continuous high fever, weakness, feeling extremely cold, and ...... lumps on my body"
The more he said, the deeper Lin Haotian's brows wrinkled, Jin Ren had never seen such a symptom, but it didn't mean that Lin Haotian didn't know.
Before Chu Lianyu's words fell, Lin Haotian interrupted: "The lumps are mostly concentrated under the neck and armpits, and you will feel stinging pain when you touch it?"
Chu Lianyu was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Lin Haotian knew. It is true that the lumps on the sick soldiers are mainly concentrated at the base of the neck, armpits and thighs, and he does not know whether it will sting to the touch, but it is true that people reacted violently.
He was surprised: "Have you ever seen a sick soldier?"
I've seen it, but it's not in this world!" Lin Haotian clenched his fists. Raise your head and think about it, and everything is clear.
The You Yan coalition army will not throw corpses for no reason, they will throw the corpses of the plague into the city, and use the plague to slaughter their own soldiers.
This should be considered the earliest biological weapon!
It is rare in Chinese history, but it is often found in the history of foreign wars. Unexpectedly, the You Yan coalition army would use this trick against their own side.
Lin Haotian didn't answer, just stared at Chu Lianyu directly, his tiger eyes shot a terrifying light, and he asked sharply, "Why didn't you report it to me earlier?"
Chu Lianyu was scolded by Lin Haotian and lowered his head, speechless.
In fact, Chu Lianyu was very aggrieved, he had just heard about it, and he came to see Lin Haotian as soon as he knew about it, but it was useless to talk about it now. He didn't say anything.
Lin Haotian narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said: "This is the plague, there is no cure at all, all soldiers who are sick must be isolated immediately, and all soldiers who have been in contact with or close to them must also be isolated." ”
In the Chinese medicine books he read. There was a prescription for the plague, but Lin Haotian did not remember it carefully. Moreover, there are many types of plague, different prescriptions, and different amounts of medicine required, so it is impossible for him to name several medicinal materials for the prevention or treatment of plague for a while.
Plague does not refer to a specific infectious disease. Rather, it is a general term for highly contagious viruses, including plague, which can be transmitted through the air.
After listening to his words, Chu Lianyu was dumbfounded, and stood in place, speechless for a long time.
The present era. The word plague has not yet been born, and Chu Lianyu doesn't understand what the plague means, and at present, there are more than 10,000 sick soldiers in the Jin army, and there are 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers who have come into contact with or even approached them.
Seeing that he was still standing motionless and looking at himself, Lin Haotian hurriedly said: "What are you two still doing in a daze? Go quickly! This is the plague, anyone who comes into contact with or approaches may be infected, if you can't isolate it immediately, the soldiers of the whole army will be finished!"
Chu Lianyu came back to his senses, screamed, and didn't even bother to say the words of the order, turned around and ran out.
When Chu Lianyu sent people to isolate the soldiers infected with the plague and the soldiers who had come into contact with and approached them, he didn't know what to do, but as soon as he did it, almost 60,000 soldiers in the Fifth Army were not spared, and even Song Yu, the deputy commander of the army, was isolated.
This is also due to the fact that the Jin army is divided into corps and stationed in different places, the defenders near the city wall are basically the Fifth Legion led by Song Yu, while the other legions are stationed elsewhere in Twin Peaks, and the core of the plague infection is the Fifth Legion.
If there is no division of the Jin army and the whole army is mixed together, then I am afraid that few people will be spared.
Now Shuangfeng City is bounded by the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the city, and all the south of the City Lord's Mansion is a quarantine area, and the other corps have all withdrawn to the north of the General's Mansion, and the interior of each army has also carried out an inventory one by one to see if there has been any contact with the soldiers of the Fifth Legion, and if so, they are all isolated.
For a time, there was chaos in Shuangfeng City, and the people were panicked, especially the Fifth Army Corps, where the whole army was isolated, many soldiers didn't know what was going on, but they only knew that the adults gave them an order, ordering them to stay in place and not to go to the north city without authorization.
Jin Jun, the Chinese military account.
Lin Haotian convened all the generals in the army to hold urgent consultations on the current situation.
Due to the plague, the southern city has become a Jedi, and their own soldiers can't get close at all, and now it seems that it is unrealistic to defend Twin Peaks again, and the whole army must retreat.
Now that all the generals also know that they have fallen for the poisonous scheme of the enemy's plague tactics, Twin Peaks City really can't stay any longer, otherwise there is a risk of annihilation of the entire army.
Chu Lianyu asked the most relevant question to everyone, if his own side withdraws his troops, what will happen to those infected soldiers in the Fifth Army led by Song Yu? Will they continue to stay in the city, or will they retreat with their own side?
After listening to Chu Lianyu's words, the eyes of the generals turned to Lin Haotian to see how he decided.
Lin Haotian took a deep breath, put his back in his hands, and paced back and forth in the hall in an upset and contradictory mood.
With more than 60,000 soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Army is not very good, but in any case, it is also Lin Haotian's guards, and he also wants to take them all away, but can he do this?
When he pondered for almost a pillar of incense, he finally stopped, raised his eyes and slowly swept over the people present, then closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Leave all the patients in the Fifth Legion, the rest of the people, and the Fourth and Sixth Legions, ready to retreat." ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed.
Doing so is tantamount to ignoring the infected people in the Fifth Legion and leaving them to fend for themselves in Twin Peaks.
"My lord......" people exclaimed.
But before they could speak, Lin Haotian had already stared at his scarlet eyes, his face turned red, and he roared loudly: "Leave 60,000 soldiers alone, do you think I am willing? Do I feel good in my heart? Take them away, and the plague will spread, not only to the whole army, but also to the whole country, and countless Jin people will be infected and will die! That is not a cold and cold, it is a plague that kills people, do you understand?"
Lin Haotian's shouting was very loud, and the echo lingered in the hall for a long time.
Under his reprimand, people hung their heads and stopped talking. Everyone understood that Lin Haotian's distress at this time must be far greater than theirs.
Until this time, people did not know what the plague was, but people could remember the name deeply, and the price of more than a thousand corpses cost them the lives of 60,000 soldiers, which was too great.
After the meeting, Lin Haotian didn't bring anyone with him, and went to Nancheng alone to meet Song Yu, the deputy commander of the Fifth Legion.
At this time, Song Yu was visiting the sick soldiers in the barracks.
There were hundreds of people lying in the huge barracks, and the sound of violent coughing and painful moans came and went.
Song Yu has been with his soldiers for a long time, and the relationship between them has long been like a family.
Hearing that the adults were coming, Song Yu was also startled, he had a hunch, it might be that he had been hit by the plague released by the enemy, otherwise how could he be isolated? But now that the adults are here, it doesn't seem to be like a plague, otherwise how could the adults personally get into danger?
This thought swept away the haze in Song Yu's heart, and he walked out of the barracks quickly and greeted him. (To be continued......)
