Chapter 832
The reason why Nie Ze hesitated after listening to Guo Song's suggestion was that he was not worried that this would be too cruel to the Feng army in the Baguan, and he was happy that the Feng army was all dead, he was considering whether using the corpses of the soldiers as a medium for the spread of the plague would cause turmoil in the hearts of the army.
At that time, the dead were the most important and the earth was safe, even when the corpses were collected, they tried to collect all the corpses, but now they want to soak the corpses of the fallen soldiers in water, breed plagues, and then throw them all out, and end up with no place to be buried, what will the soldiers in the army think? What will they think of themselves as the commander?
Nie Ze hesitated, believing that although Guo Song's idea was good, it might cause dissatisfaction among the officers and men of the whole army.
He couldn't make up his mind, so he asked the generals on the left and right: "Generals, what do you think of Mr. Guo Song's strategy?"
None of ......the generals thought that Guo Song's idea was good, but if they were against it, they would have to come up with a better way to break the city, and if they were, they would have said it a long time ago, so why wait until now? The generals looked at each other, and no one spoke, that is, they did not agree or object.
Seeing this, Nie Ze looked annoyed and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter? Don't the rank generals have any opinions? It's time for you to become dumb when you speak!"
Listening to Nie Ze's reprimand, people's heads hung lower. In the end, Gao Jun spoke: "Plague...... Isn't that too dangerous? What if I get infected into the barracks?"
Guo Song had already thought about this, and continued: "Our army can dig a pond a little far away from the barracks and set up a fence to build it." ”
Gao Jun frowned and said, "Is it ...... to spoil the corpses of our army's fallen brothers like this It's too cruel, isn't it?"
This is exactly what Nie Ze is worried about, and seeing that Gao Jun asked for himself, he immediately looked at Guo Song as well.
Guo Song pretended to sigh, shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is also a way that there is no way. If the attack continues like this, I don't know how many days it will take, and how many soldiers will have to be killed. Our army is not comparable to the Sichuan army, which has a large population, and they can afford to die, but we can't afford to die. How to minimize the casualties of our army is the priority that the generals should consider, and as for the rest, it is secondary. He said this to Gao Jun, and actually said it to Nie Ze.
After hearing this, Nie Ze clenched his fists, smashed his palm, turned his heart sideways, and said, "Okay! Just do what Mr. Guo Song wants!" After a pause, he asked again: "Do you want to inform the Sichuan army about this matter?"
"Absolutely. It would be better if the Sichuan army could provide a part of the corpse. ”
"That's right!" Nie Ze nodded repeatedly.
Nie Ze listened to the advice of the strategist Guo Song, and prepared to breed a plague with a highly decomposed corpse, and use the plague to defend the wind army of the overlord.
This method is too vicious, in that extremely backward era at that time, once the plague broke out, there was almost no cure, and ten of the infected people would die, if the plague broke out on a large scale and spread to the whole army, not many of the hundreds of thousands of wind troops in the city could survive.
In the evening of the same day, Nie Ze went to Ren Fang's sleeping tent to report the matter to him, of course, his main purpose was to ask Ren Fang for the corpses of some Sichuan army dead.
After listening to Nie Ze's idea, Ren Fang retracted his smile and stared at Nie Ze with a frown. Nie Ze himself also understood that this idea was not very authentic and too cruel, and he said with a wry smile: "This is the only way to defeat the Feng Army as soon as possible and win the hegemony as soon as possible." ”
Let it be silent.
Nie Ze cut to the chase and said: "Ren Shuai, this strategy requires a large number of corpses, I don't know if Ren Shuai can mention it......"
Before he could finish his sentence, Ren Fang directly interrupted: "No! Not to mention that the bodies of our fallen soldiers have been cremated, even if they remain, they will never be defiled in such a cruel way!"
Unexpectedly, Ren Fang's refusal was so straightforward and thorough, Nie Ze said unwillingly: "Ren Shuai, we are a coalition army, and it is not my army's responsibility to break through the hegemony!"
"But your plan is not only a great humiliation to the fallen soldiers, but also a chill to the living soldiers. Ren Fang said resolutely in a resolute tone: "If you want to do this, you can, I won't stop it, but I will never participate." ”
Ren Fang's attitude was tough, no matter what Nie Ze said, he just didn't agree, and in the end Nie Ze had no choice but to get up and leave.
After he left, Ren Fang sighed softly and muttered, "How much hatred we have with the Wind Country...... which can make you come up with such cruel and vicious ideas. He didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Since the Sichuan army was not involved, Nie Ze decided to go it alone.
He dug a pond three miles south of the camp of the Sichuan-Zhen coalition army, which was ten zhang square, and after digging it, filled it with water, and then pulled out thousands of corpses from the army, stripped them naked, and threw them into it.
In order to speed up the breeding of the plague, Guo Song also deliberately asked the soldiers of Zhen to wear gloves and go to the wilderness and grassland to catch mice. He doesn't want any rats, but rats with brown fur and a stripe on their backs, which are the most susceptible to plague. After the people had caught all the rats he wanted, they threw them into the pool and soaked them in the corpses......
The Zhen army is secretly doing shady deeds, and the offensive against Baguan on the surface has not stopped, but the number of times that the generals and soldiers sent into battle to attack has decreased, and most of the time they use a stone throwing machine to throw stone bombs at Baguan.
The siege war gradually turned from a war of attrition between the two sides to a war of harassment by the combined forces of the Sichuan and Zhen coalitions.
Time flies, three days have passed, the siege of the Chuanzhen coalition army should have no progress, it seems that there is no way to overtake the pass, gradually, the nervous nerves of the wind army in the city of Baguan gradually relaxed, people began to be full of hope for this battle, thinking that it is not impossible for their side to rely on the danger of Baguan to resist the attack of the enemy's million-strong army.
However, if the Feng Army senses what the Zhen Army is secretly doing, I am afraid it will not be so easy.
On this day, Ren Fang was playing chess with the deputy general Jin Zhuo in the camp tent, and a Sichuan general hurriedly approached, and when Ren Fang approached, he intervened and saluted: "General!"
Ren Fang asked without raising his head, "What's the matter?"
General Chuan said: "The Zhen army sent many soldiers to the nearby Mozambican village to capture hundreds of civilians, and all of them were taken to the poison pool, it seems that ...... It seems that they are going to throw them all into the pool!" the Sichuan army called the big pond dug by the Zhen army the poison pool.
When Ren Fang and Jin Zhuo heard this, they both stopped playing chess, and their faces showed expressions of disbelief.
Jin Zhuo asked, "Are the people of Mozambique who have been arrested?"
"That's right!"
"Nonsense!" Jin Zhuo was furious, slapped down the table heavily, shook the chess pieces on the chessboard as high as he wanted, he gritted his teeth and said: "Isn't this an extraneous branch? We are fighting against the Wind Country in the territory of Mozambique, and we are doing such nonsense, which annoys Mozambique and makes Mozambique our enemy, and our army will become a lone army in danger!"
Ren Fang also couldn't sit still, he stood up, his face gloomy and ugly, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Jin Zhuo said: "General, you must stop those stupid pigs in Zhenguo!"
Ren Fang didn't say anything, walked to the armor, grabbed the saber on it, hung it on his waist, and strode out.
Jin Zhuo and Chuan Jiang glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.
Outside the tent, Ren Fang indulged his war horse and asked, "Can the poison pond be in the south of the camp?" Zhen Jun had dug the pond for three days, but Ren Fang had never been there once, and he felt sick to his stomach when he thought about it.
General Chuan replied: "Yes, General!"
Ren Fang didn't ask any more questions, and urged the horse to go to the southern camp.
Jin Zhuo and Chuan hurriedly gathered the guards, mounted their horses one after another, and quickly chased after them.
Ren Fang rode his horse all the way, went out of the Nanying Gate, and went straight to the poison pool. He hoped that before he rushed to the poison pool, the people of Mozambique had not been poisoned by the Zhen army, otherwise things would be in big trouble.
What to be afraid of, what to come. Although Ren Fang was in a hurry, he was still a step slower.
When he was far away from the poison pool, he saw a group of white-scarf-faced Zhen soldiers in front of him swinging knives and slashing a group of naked men and women.
Ren was in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Stop-"
I don't know if the Zhen army in front heard his shout, and people's movements stopped at all, and continued to slash and kill people frantically.
Ren Fang is more than 100 meters away from the poison pool, and he is in the upper wind, but even so, he can still faintly smell a foul smell. Drifting 100 meters in the wind, you can see the strong smell.
At this time, Jin Zhuo quickly caught up with Ren Fang and shouted repeatedly: "General, general-"
Ren Fang turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
"General, bring this!" Jin Zhuo held a white scarf in his hand and handed it to Ren Fang.
While Ren Fang took it, he also looked at Jin Zhuo and the soldiers who followed behind, and they had covered their mouths and noses with white scarves, revealing only two eyes.
Jin Zhuo said cautiously: "In order to prevent accidents, the general should also bring it first!"
Ren Fang sighed, could only restrain the war horse, tie the white scarf, and then continue to rush forward.
By the time they got closer, the hundreds of men, women, and children who had gathered around the poison pool had become the ghosts of the swords of the Zhen soldiers.
The corpses fell sideways and vertically, some of them were in different places, and some of them were directly cut in two, and the blood flowed like a river, which was unbearable to see.
Ren Fang clenched his fists, grabbed the reins with a rattle, and asked loudly, "Who is in charge of this place now?"
A Zhen general walked out of the crowd, looked up at Ren Fang on the horse, and asked, "Your Excellency is ......?"
Let the white scarf cover his face, General Zhen did not endure it immediately, perhaps General Zhen never thought that the commander of the whole army, Ren Fang, would come here in person. Ren Fang said in a deep voice: "I am Ren Fang!"
The Zhen general gasped, was stunned for a moment, hurriedly knelt down on one knee, intervened in the salute, and said, "The last general will be Hong, see Ren Shuai!"
"Tell me, who are these people?" Ren Fang asked coldly, pointing to the many corpses on the ground.
"Oh......" Zhen will hesitate for a moment, but still say, "They...... All of them were Mozambicans captured by our army from the vicinity. ”
Sure enough! Ren Fang closed his eyes and took a few breaths in a row before he forced down the anger and disgust and resentment in his heart.
He bent down on his horse, grabbed the collar of the general's coat, and then pulled him upward, and lifted him up directly, and asked, "Who made you do it, and who gave you the right to do it?"
