C836

Without any precautions and having never seen such a tactic before, Feng Army was poisoned by the People of Zhen Country, so many of the soldiers did not avoid it and directly reached out to carry the corpse.

There was nothing on that day, but on the second day, the large scale Feng Army began to fall ill, with a high fever that refused to leave, and even as they laid in bed, the Medical Officer s of the army were extremely busy.

On the third day, the sick Feng Army started to increase rapidly, the number of people increased by several times, to the point that it had reached to the point of numbers of tens of thousands. Even the Medical Officer who were treating the soldiers began to fall sick one after another. This time, the entire Feng Army was shocked, and the news could no longer be suppressed, it had finally reached Tang Yin.

Originally, people only thought that the Feng Army had caught wind of the cold, but now it seemed that it was completely different. Not only was the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army with a high fever, he was also starting to show signs of swelling, a symptom they had never seen before.

The ones who reported the matter to Tang Yin were Qiu Zhen and Su Yelei. After hearing about the matter, Tang Yin also felt confused, and asked: "When did the disease appear in the army?"

"Two days ago." Qiu Zhen said: "According to what the soldiers said, two days ago, the enemy army poured many corpses into the city. Our first batch of brothers who fell sick were all people who had moved the bodies before, the soldiers suspected that ? "I suspect that it was a spell cast by the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country ?"

"Witchcraft? Nonsense! " In his entire life, Tang Yin had never believed in anything like the likes of Ox, Ghost, Snake and God. He rolled his eyes at Qiu Zhen, and thought for a moment, then asked: "What are the symptoms of the soldiers who are sick?"

Su Yelei answered: "I have a sustained high fever, my entire body is weak, I feel extremely cold, and there are still lumps on my body."

The more she spoke, the deeper Tang Yin's frown deepened. Feng Ren had never seen this symptom before, but it did not mean that Tang Yin did not know about it. He was a martial artist himself, so martial artists would at least need to come into contact with some traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover, he had truly seen this sort of illness before.

Before Su Yelei even finished her sentence, Tang Yin interrupted him and said: "Are most of the lump beneath the neck and under the armpit? you will feel pain if you touch it? "

Su Yelei was startled, she did not understand how Tang Yin knew about this. The bumps on the soldiers' bodies were indeed concentrated at the base of their necks, armpits, and thighs. She wasn't sure if a touch would hurt, but it was true. She asked in surprise, "Has the King ever seen a sick soldier?"

He had seen it before, but not in this world. Tang Yin clenched his fists, he raised his head and thought about it, and everything became clear. Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country would not throw away corpses for no reason. They threw corpses that had been infected with the plague into the city, using the plague to kill their own soldiers.

This should be the earliest biological weapon. It was a rare occurrence in the history of China, where foreign wars often occurred, but they never thought that Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country would actually use such a method to call upon their own side.

Tang Yin did not reply Su Yelei. Instead, he turned and looked at Qiu Zhen, his tiger eyes emitting a shocking light as he asked sternly: "Such a huge thing happened, why didn't you report this to me earlier?"

Qiu Zhen was scolded by Tang Yin until he lowered his head, he could not say a word. In fact, Qiu Zhen felt wronged, he had only just heard of this matter and came to see Tang Yin the first thing he knew, it was just that there was no point in saying any of this now, he was just not going to say anything.

Tang Yin squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "This is a plague, there is no cure, all the sick soldiers have to be isolated immediately, any who have come into contact with or come close to the soldiers, they have to be quarantined as well."

In the books he had read in Chinese medicine, there was a prescription for treating plague, but Tang Yin had not memorized it carefully. Furthermore, there were many different types of plague, different medicinal formulas, and the amount of medicine required were also different.

Plague is not a particular infectious disease, but a general term for highly contagious viruses, including, of course, the airborne plague.

After hearing what he said, Qiu Zhen and Su Yelei were both dumbfounded, they stood in place for a long time, unable to speak.

In this era, the term plague has yet to be born. Qiu Zhen and Su Yelei also did not understand what plague actually meant, and currently, there were more than ten thousand soldiers that had fallen ill in Feng Army. There were even at least forty to fifty thousand soldiers that had come close to them.

In addition, as a Medical Officer, Su Yelei naturally had officers who had come into contact with her, and according to Tang Yin, she was also one of those who were isolated.

Seeing the two of them still standing there and looking at him, Tang Yin asked anxiously: What are you two standing there for? Hurry up and go! This is plague, and anyone who comes into contact with it or approaches it can be infected. If they are unable to get away immediately, all of the soldiers in the army will be killed! "

Qiu Zhen regained his senses, cried out, and did not even bother to speak about the orders, turned and ran out.

Su Yelei did not leave. She only took two steps back, and increased the distance between him and Tang Yin.

Tang Yin stared at her and asked: "What else do you want?"

Su Yelei muttered: "I ? "I have had contacts with soldiers who were sick ?"

"Damn it!" Upon hearing this, Tang Yin was first stunned, but quickly after, a ball of anger emerged from his heart. He held it in his chest, with no place to vent it out, nor did he know to whom to vent it on. His fists were clenched so tightly that it crackled, as he looked at Su Yelei. After a while, he said: "Go and live in the side courtyard of the General's Mansion first, there's no one there right now!"

Su Yelei looked at Tang Yin, sighed, and said while walking: "Forget it, since I have already touched them, I do not mind touching them a little more, even if I cannot cure their disease, I have to at least think of a way to alleviate their pain."

Before she could even walk out, Tang Yin had already shot forward like an arrow, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her towards the side courtyard without any explanation. At the same time, he said: "The best way to alleviate their pain is to kill them with a single slash."

His words sounded ruthless, but they were also true. People infected with the plague might not all die, but there was a possibility for them to survive. However, that probability was too small, so small that it could be ignored. Rather than letting people suffer and slowly die from the plague, it would be better to just kill them.

Seeing Tang Yin fearlessly grabbing onto his wrist, Su Yelei trembled in fear. She struggled intensely and screamed at the same time, "What are you doing? "Let go, I will infect you too ?"2

"Then spread the infection, I'm not afraid." Tang Yin said in a cold voice. His palm was like a Iron Forceps's, dead set on Su Yelei's Hao Wan. As the Spirit Cultivator of the Inner Sect of Dark, Tang Yin was not afraid of the plague. This disease came from the body of an animal, and was unable to withstand the internal combustion of his Fire of Darkness.

Tang Yin quickly dragged him, and brought him to the side courtyard in General's Mansion. On the other side, Qiu Zhen sent people to isolate the soldiers who were infected with the plague, as well as those who had come into contact with and gotten close to them. If they didn't do it, they didn't know. But when they did, they discovered that the sixty thousand people defending the Ba Pass had all been annihilated, and were all separated from each other.

It was all thanks to the fact that the interior of the Feng Army were separated into different legions and their locations were different as well. The defending troops near the city walls were all basically led by Ying Bu, while the other divisions were all stationed elsewhere in the Ba Pass. If there was no division of troops within the Feng Army, and all the soldiers lived together, then perhaps not many people would be spared.

Right now, Ba Pass was bounded by the General's Mansion in the center of the city, and all the soldiers south of the General's Mansion were isolated areas. The other divisions all retreated to the north of the General's Mansion, and the insides of the various legions also began to investigate the situation to see if there were any officers who had come into contact with Ba Pass Army, and if there were, all of them were separated from each other.

For a moment, the Ba Pass City was so chaotic that everyone was panicking, especially the entire army that was isolated. Many soldiers were clueless as to what was going on, and only knew that the King had given them a king order, ordering them to stand in place and not walk towards the North City without authorization.

General's Mansion.

Tang Yin summoned all the generals in the army to carry out an emergency consultation on the current situation. Due to the plague's rampage, South City had become a dead end. Their soldiers could not even get close, and now it seemed that wanting to defend Ba Pass to the end had become unrealistic, and needed the entire army to retreat.

Now that all the generals knew that their side had been poisoned by the enemy's plague tactics, they really could not stay any longer.

Qiu Zhen asked the most important question that concerned them the most. If their side were to withdraw, then what about Ba Pass Army that was led by Ying Bu? Should he continue to stay in the city, or should he retreat with them?

Hearing Qiu Zhen's words, all the generals turned to look at Tang Yin, waiting for him to decide.

Tang Yin took a deep breath, with his hands on his back, he paced back and forth in the hall in a troubled and contradictory mood.

With more than sixty thousand officers, Feng Country was the best at defense, and it was the most senior army. He also wanted to bring them all away, but could he do this?

After pondering for almost an incense stick of time, he finally stopped, lifted his eyes and slowly swept across everyone present. Then, he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a sentence from between his clenched teeth. "Leave behind Ba Pass Army, the other legions, prepare to retreat."

The moment he said this, everyone's expressions changed. Doing this, was tantamount to leaving the Ba Pass Army behind and letting them fend for themselves.

"Your Majesty ?" Everyone cried out in alarm.

But before they could say anything, Tang Yin had already glared with his scarlet eyes as his face flushed red and roared loudly: "Leaving sixty thousand soldiers behind, do you think I am willing? Did I feel good? If they were taken away, the plague would spread not only to the entire army, but to the entire country as well. Countless people would be infected and die! It's not a cold, it's a plague that wants to kill people, do you understand? "

Tang Yin's shouts were loud, the echoes echoing in the hall for a long time.

At his rebuke, everyone lowered their heads and no longer spoke. Everyone understood that Tang Yin's degree of heartache definitely far surpassed them.

Even now, people still did not know what kind of disease the plague was, but they still deeply remembered this name. A mere thousand or so corpses had caused their side to pay the lives of sixty thousand soldiers. The price was truly too great.
