"Boom, boom, boom......" countless bombs bloomed among the enemy army, blooming everywhere, in the vast dark night, you can clearly see the violent fire when the bomb explodes, with the earth-shaking explosion, it is really like a thunder from the sky, and Li Hao also temporarily added a loud speaker this time, spreading his voice to the entire battlefield, even if he said lightly, it is like a fairy heavenly sound, all the enemy troops can hear it, which is also a miracle for the ancient people with low knowledge.

This time, Li Hao was more ruthless, and asked the special combat team members to throw out all the thunderbolts and bloom everywhere, creating an illusion of magnifying the move, he wanted to deter the enemy army and let them feel what a catastrophe was, because the trick of jumping the god had already been used twice, and it must not be used a third time, so he simply used up all the bombs at once.

Li Hao's big move version of the Divine Sword and Thunder True Trick really scared the enemy's courage, and tens of thousands of troops broke up and fled, which really responded to the sentence that the army was defeated like a mountain, and when they fled, there was a stampede, and hundreds of people died under the trampling of their own families.

Tian Long had never believed in the true trick of the Divine Sword and Thunder before, thinking that this was a trick used by the enemy, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was stunned and speechless for a long time, and when the public would report back to him, he came back to his senses, at this time, he suddenly remembered what Zhang Meng said before leaving, it turned out that this Tingzhou was really a hard bone.

Now the morale of the army is completely gone, Tian Long had no choice but to collect the troops and return to the camp, after returning to the camp, he counted the battle damage, and the 70,000 army lost more than 13,000 people, of which the Gaochang soldiers will lose 4,000, and the Western Turkic soldiers will lose nearly 10,000, which shows that the battle tonight is really too tragic.

When Tian Long collected his troops, Li Hao also sent people to clean the city wall and count the battle damage, and it didn't take long for the battle damage to be counted, 1,500 soldiers were killed, more than 500 people were seriously injured, and nearly 2,000 people were slightly injured.

When Li Hao heard this battle damage report, his eyebrows were about to be broken, and he lost nearly half of the city's troops overnight, which was simply fatal, and he could only hope that the enemy army was really scared this time, and he would not attack again in the near future, otherwise this Tingzhou City would really not be able to hold it.

From the next day, Tian Long summoned the commanders of the various armies to the tent for a military meeting to discuss how to take Tingzhou.

In fact, Tian Long himself did not have any hope for this military meeting, after all, the picture of Li Hao's actions in the city yesterday caused thunder everywhere was too shocking, and their morale had been seriously damaged, and the generals would definitely not support the continued siege of the city.

Sure enough, the result of the final negotiation was that the siege was wasted, and when the food in Tingzhou was exhausted, Tingzhou could be easily taken, which was also the only feasible way at present.

From the day of the war, Li Hao will be collected from the big household 500 stone grain handed over to the Longchang grain shop, not let him sell, but free distribution, Li Hao to every household in Tingzhou issued a grain certificate, with this certificate can go to the Longchang grain shop once a day to receive grain, according to the family population, a person a day three or two grain, no matter full, but to ensure that starvation does not die, every time the grain is received, in the Longchang grain shop must be stamped on the grain certificate, and the corresponding date will be written, to ensure that there will be no repeated grain phenomenon.

Zhu Su Lao has the heart to do his part for the country, but he is old, he can't lift his hands, he can't carry it on his shoulders, so he went to Longchang Grain Store to help Li Shopkeeper, Zhu Su Lao is a cultural person after all, and it is still okay to settle accounts, he helps keep accounts, and he has to be busy until late at night every day, and he really shares a lot for Li Shopkeeper. More and more people in the city have cut off grain, and more and more people come to the grain shop every day to receive grain, and the grain in the warehouse is getting less and less.

Li Hao once told him that as long as the corn in the field matures, the food crisis can be alleviated, because Li Hao has demolished many houses and cleared out 200 acres of vacant land to plant corn.

The demolished houses were all used to make stone rolling wood, and the original residents were arranged by Li Hao to live in temporary tents.

Zhu Su Lao specially went to meet Li Hao and informed Li Hao of the results of his calculations, and Li Hao also calculated it himself, it is true, the food crisis has come again, and this time, there is almost no solution.

Although Li Hao was sad in his heart, he didn't show it, he just frowned, and then pretended to be relaxed and said to Zhu Sulao: "Su Lao doesn't have to worry about food, I am the assassin of Tingzhou, and the food problem should be solved by me." ”

Although Zhu Su Lao was suspicious, he couldn't say anything more, so he could only sigh lightly, nod yes, and then leave.

On the third day after the military meeting, Tian Long received a report from the military medical captain that many people in the army were suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and more than a dozen soldiers had very serious symptoms and had died of excessive diarrhea.

Tian Long was in a bad mood, how could he have time to take care of vomiting and diarrhea, let him watch it, and then drive him away.

The next morning, as soon as Tian Long got up, the military medical captain brought several military doctors to report that the matter was not good, that thousands of people in the army had symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting, and that more than 500 people had died of excessive diarrhea and dehydration overnight, and that more than a dozen military doctors had begun to have symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting, and they suspected that it was cholera.

Cholera is a kind of ancient plague, it is an acute diarrheal disease, the peak of the disease is in the summer, the clinical manifestations and symptoms are mainly diarrhea, and then cause vomiting, which can make people die of diarrhea and dehydration within a few hours or ten hours, the most terrible thing is that cholera is extremely contagious, otherwise it can not be included in the list of plagues.

Tian Long was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly went to the medical tent with these military doctors to check, and when he came to the door of the medical tent, Tian Long suddenly stopped, he didn't dare to go in, the reason why he came here was because he was worried about his army, but along the way, he realized that the army was not as important as his own life, if the army died of the plague, he could completely shirk the responsibility, after all, this was a natural disaster, but if he accidentally contracted cholera, then everything was over, he was sitting on a huge wealth and power of Tian Chenggong, and his life was very expensive.

Tian Long stood at the door of the medical tent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Ben Shuai doesn't understand medical science, so I won't go in to see it, you are all experts, how to treat it, it's up to you to make your mind." ”

Hearing this, the military medical captain said with a bitter face: "Dashuai, this is a plague, please forgive my subordinates for being incompetent and unable to come up with a cure." ”

Tian Long frowned when he heard this, and wanted to get angry, but he held back, but his words were obviously unhappy: "Can't be cured?" If you can't cure it, don't let other disease-free sergeants get infected, do you have to teach you this? ”

"Yes." The captain of the military medical academy bowed his head and said, "However, the subordinates need the authorization of the commander, otherwise the subordinates are afraid that some generals in the army will rely on their military positions and will not listen to the arrangements of their subordinates." ”

"It's simple, Ben Shuai will go back and write a warrant to you!" After Tian Long finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the tooth tent.

Soon, the military medical lieutenant got Tian Long's warrant and began to order the isolation of those infected with cholera, and as soon as a person suspected of cholera is found in the army, report it immediately, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law.

The medical skills of the Tang Dynasty are not particularly developed, but the Tang Dynasty is outstanding, and there are still many famous doctors, but Gaochang is not outstanding, even the medical skills of the imperial doctors in the Gaochang Palace are estimated to be inferior to the doctors of any medical hall in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention these military doctors, it is already great for them to recognize that this is cholera, as for isolating cholera patients, their proposal is right, but the approach is not right.

Cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which has a certain incubation period, not that there are symptoms as soon as they are infected, but they only isolate the sick person, so that they cannot completely cut off the infection of cholera, and a large number of soldiers are infected with cholera every day and sent to the quarantine zone.

What's even more terrifying is that the feces of cholera patients are extremely contagious, and the quarantine area is already full of cholera patients' feces, and the soldiers who go to send cholera patients back to the camp often carry Vibrio cholerae, which is simply a mobile source of infection.

Li Hao had to go up to the castle tower every day to observe the movements in the enemy camp, and when he saw that the enemy army began to transport cholera patients, he knew that his plan had succeeded.

The appearance of cholera in the enemy camp this time was not accidental, but was planned by Li Hao, and the origin of the plan lies in Jintang.

Boiling feces scalded many enemy soldiers, in this hot summer, the feces are most likely to breed Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio cholerae along the wound or hand mouth food into the human body, will naturally cause cholera, and then spread ten, ten to hundred, so that it will form a large-scale plague in the enemy barracks, once the plague is formed, it is very terrible, not to mention the densely populated barracks, conservative estimates, tens of thousands of people are sorry for the word plague.

Knowledge changes fate, Li Hao is the use of his own knowledge, successfully triggered a large-scale plague in the enemy camp, although artificially caused the plague is a very inhumane act, but Li Hao has no choice, because he wants to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty, is the Chinese nation with a high degree of civilization, not those greedy and tyrannical barbarians, he has no racial discrimination, but history is a mirror, the Chinese civilization has been ruthlessly trampled by the iron hooves of the barbarians countless times, resulting in the slow development of the Chinese nation, this is an indisputable fact, So Li Hao was ruthless and used the most primitive biological and chemical weapons without hesitation.

In just a few days, the Gaochang camp was empty, and there were nearly 60,000 people when the troops were last collected for rectification, but now there are only more than 20,000 left, and the others have died of cholera.

Tian Long almost collapsed, he still didn't know that all this was done by Li Hao, and among the remaining 26,000 people, there were 10,000 Gaochang soldiers and 16,000 Western Turkic soldiers.

The generals of the Western Turks were stunned, frightened, and trembled, when they set off to leave the Western Turks, there were 50,000 people, when they heard that it was to attack the small city of Tingzhou, they thought that they must be captured, 50,000 people were too many, but now there are only 16,000 people left, and the city of Tingzhou has not yet been captured, and it is still there in good shape, guarded by the Tang army, which is like God is joking with them.

Zhang Meng, the Duke of Jiaohe, has been sending people to pay close attention to the battle situation in Tingzhou, because he wants to take revenge, the revenge of being robbed, when he learned that the plague broke out in the army, he was very happy, and made a very bad thing, he reported the news of the outbreak of the plague in the military camp to Gaochang City, not only that, but he also publicized the matter in Jiaohe City.

Dili Larna has been living in the post house of Jiaohe City, as soon as she heard that the plague broke out in the military camp, she was shocked, and immediately took Fan Shui and her own hundred guards to Tingzhou, of course she did not go to Tingzhou, but to the Gaochang military camp, after all, she was the general of the Western Turks, naturally worried about the lives of her soldiers, if the soldiers lost too much, she decided not to fulfill any promise to borrow troops, and must bring the soldiers back to the Western Turks, even if the Great Khan punished, she was not afraid, because for her, the lives of the soldiers were ten million times more precious than gold and silver.
