Chapter 274 Victory! Zheng Tuo Was the Most Miserable!

The incubation period of the smallpox virus is usually around ten days.

In fact, two days ago, there were already infected people, but it was very rare, and the infected people themselves did not think it was smallpox, they thought it was just ordinary hives and chickenpox.

Because there were 20,000 troops in the castle and these soldiers were not very clean, it was normal for them to have a rash or chickenpox, and there were more than dozens of cases every day.

It was not until yesterday that a large-scale outbreak in the army attracted the attention of the military doctors.

They could tell at a glance that it was smallpox, and then their souls were blown away because they themselves were afraid of being infected.

However, these military doctors were smart enough not to disclose the news but to report it directly to Zheng Tuo.

"How could this be? How could it be?"

"Shen Lang, it must be a trick by this beast Shen Lang?"

"No, it's not Shen Lang. It's Su Nan. It must be Su Nan."

"I wonder why he gave up the castle so easily to me."

Zheng Tuo could only feel the dizziness in his head.

He was careful enough to send in the death squad, then his son Zheng Long, and finally himself.

Moreover, any fruits, vegetables, food and meat in Marquis'mansion were given to the old and weak women and children of the Su family family to eat first, and the water was also given to them to drink first. After two or three days of complete absence, the army was allowed to eat the food in Marquis'mansion.

Zheng Tuo was not defenseless against smallpox.

After checking every corner of Marquis'mansion, there were no living smallpox patients.

"Gone, gone..."

Zheng Tuo slapped his head in pain.

He should have thought of that. He should have thought that Su Nan would not easily give him the castle.

But he really couldn't refuse.

The zheng family was a modern aristocrat with no real fiefs or castles.

So when Marquis of Zhenyuan, the world's leading castle, was placed in front of him, how could he not occupy it?

How attractive was Qiang palace's gold to Su Nan.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan castle was more than ten times more attractive to Zheng Tuo.

Of course, Zheng Tuo and Zheng Long were not worried because they had been vaccinated and were able to defend themselves against smallpox, but they did not spread in the army.

Apart from The qiang kingdom and the Su family family, there was no large-scale vaccination in the world.

First, the health of the eastern countries was much better. Even if someone was infected with smallpox, there were few large-scale outbreak of smallpox.

Second, the whole army was not in charge of vaccination and smallpox defense, which required the approval of the court, and this proposal was not the most important in the court's eyes.

He even said that it was hard to listen to. Recently, the court in Yue kingdom was in a mess. Who had the time to pay attention to vaccination?

In any case, the previous smallpox outbreak was in The qiang kingdom, but not in Yue kingdom.

What to do? What to do?

Zheng Tuo was covered in ice.

What a disaster!

"Is it too late to be isolated now?" Zheng Tuo asked.

The army doctor shook his head. Every camp had smallpox patients, which meant that basically everyone was infected, but it hadn't erupted yet, or someone had smallpox before, so they had immunity.

Zheng tuo said, "How many people will die?"

The military doctor said, "If it was in The qiang kingdom, it would have killed more than eighty to ninety percent. If it was in the previous White night pass barracks, it would have killed about seventy percent, but it should have lived half of its life in Marquis of Zhenyuan."

The most important thing for a smallpox patient to survive depends on fate and whether he is infected with severe smallpox.

The second is the medical environment.

If there were enough drugs and a good environment, the chances of death from complications would be greatly reduced.

Marquis of Zhenyuan's conditions were good.

Half dead?

Zheng tuo closed his eyes, and the result was not bad.

And the short period from the outbreak to death of smallpox may be good news.

It won't be long before the results show up.

If he still had ten thousand troops, he would still be able to defend Marquis of Zhenyuan.

In just a few days, it was too late for Ning Yuanxian to send an army to exterminate him.

But the most urgent thing was to kill Shen Lang immediately.

Otherwise, a small animal like Shen Lang would have taken the opportunity to stir up trouble if a ceiling like a castle erupted.

And by the time the smallpox broke out, every soldier would have a high fever, and the itching was unbearable, so they could not fight at all.

Zheng Tuo asked, "How many people are infected with smallpox now?"

The army doctor said, "Hundreds of people have been found, but they are still increasing."

Zheng tuo said, "Don't tell anyone about this. Just tell the soldiers that they have chickenpox and hives."

"Yes!"

Zheng tuo roared, "Has the large catapult been installed yet?"

Zheng long said, "About two more days."

Zheng tuohan said in a voice, "We must install the catapult tomorrow, or we will kill all these craftsmen. They are all sneakers."

"Yes!"

"We only have one day to fight Shen Lang tomorrow. We must kill this little beast!"

...

Under the butcher's knife, the progress of the hundreds of craftsmen was indeed much faster.

The next day, more than a dozen catapults were fully installed.

Zheng Tuo ordered all the soldiers who had gotten the blisters and chickenpox to recuperate in their barracks. He personally led 5,000 troops to protect more than a dozen catapults from Marquis of Zhenyuan.

This damn terrain.

There was really only one road outside the castle, completely unoccupied. This seven-meter-wide road could only be arranged side by side with two catapults at most.

And there was no room for five thousand troops.

Zheng tuoqin threw a thousand sharp stones in front of him to protect the catapults behind him.

After the ten catapults were set up, they opened with all their strength.

It wasn't easy to finish all this.

This haunted place was so narrow and cramped that it was like making a path in a snail.

Now that it's finally installed, it's time to kill.

Finally, it could be smashed.

At the front entrance, Shen Lang's army was so dense that if he hit a huge rock, there would be huge casualties.

"Get ready!"

Zheng Long ordered.

All the catapults entered the final adjustment, and the hercules placed hundreds of kilograms of stones on the tray.

He had to be ready to throw.

But at this moment.

Suddenly, whistles were heard from Shen Lang's army.

Then, they scattered and quickly retreated!

In a few moments, they immediately withdrew from the range of these catapults and went straight to the next intersection to guard.

"Shit!" Zheng Long yelled.

"The army advanced three hundred steps!"

"Put away the catapult!"

Then the zheng army advanced 300 steps.

More than a dozen catapults followed.

Once again, he opened it, and once again, he put a boulder on it, ready to throw it.

However...

Once again, Shen Lang's army dispersed and retreated to the next intersection.

And so on.

Zheng Tuo and Zheng Long were almost furious.

Shen Lang's army was like teasing them.

When they finally got all the more than ten catapults ready for launch, they immediately retreated.

Five or six hours later, four or five shots were fired, but the result was almost zero.

All day long!

Just being teased by Shen Lang's army.

More than a dozen catapults were unfolding and closing, unfolding and closing several times, and they were going crazy.

But this was Zheng Tuo's goal, to drive Shen Lang out of this narrow area and into the open.

In this way, his 20,000 troops would be able to engage in large-scale encirclement and annihilation.

But today was obviously not a good day, because it was already dark!

Zheng Tuo ordered 5,000 troops to camp in the same place and the following troops to gather far away.

Groups of zheng's army came out of the castle and gathered in the open area below the mountain.

In the end, a total of fifteen thousand troops formed an absolute advantage over Shen Lang's two thousand horsemen, and even the number of horsemen was two times that of Shen Lang.

It would only take one day to launch an attack on Shen Lang.

Even Zheng Tuo's 4,000 cavalry were on standby, and as soon as Shen Lang's army ran, they immediately chased after them.

Night was not conducive to battle, but it was also not conducive to escape.

Zheng long said, "Father, will shen lang run away tomorrow?"

Zheng tuo said, "Now I hope he escapes and let us zheng survive this smallpox crisis."

The The qiang kingdom cavalry had one advantage: they were very good at riding and shooting, but they also had one disadvantage: the horses were short and had strong endurance, but their sprinting speed was not fast enough.

The main cavalry in Yue kingdom were all big and tall horses, and they were sprinting very fast.

Zheng Tuo's main cavalry had an advantage in the short and medium range. Once the The qiang kingdom cavalry revealed their back to the Zheng Tuo cavalry, it would be very disadvantageous.

Therefore, Shen Lang's The qiang kingdom cavalry kept a relatively long distance from Zheng Tuo.

Bad news kept coming from camp Zheng Tuo.

Today's outbreak of smallpox suddenly became violent and concentrated.

Yesterday there were only over 300 people, but today there were a thousand.

And the army doctor told Zheng Tuo that there would be more tomorrow.

Although they did not know the incubation period of the smallpox virus, the general rule was known.

And the scariest thing was that a few military doctors were infected with smallpox.

Although Zheng Tuo had repeatedly stated that it was a rash that was contagious, it was not life-threatening.

But there was still some fear in the army.

And at this very moment.

Shen Lang's barracks suddenly heard a roar: "Zheng Tuo's army, you have smallpox, you have smallpox!"

This is Dasha's voice.

Then, two thousand people shouted in unison, "You have smallpox, you have smallpox."

All of a sudden, there was chaos in Zheng Tuo's army.

Some soldiers were afraid of death and had long suspected that they had smallpox.

Now that Shen Lang's army had broken through, he was filled with fear.

Zheng tuo was shocked.

How did Shen Lang, the thief, know?

During the day, all the troops he brought with him were in good health.

Immediately after that, the Shen Lang barracks shouted stupidly, "Su Nan poisoned the food and water in the castle with smallpox. More and more people will erupt with smallpox. More and more!"

"Each and every one of you has eaten the food and drank the water in Marquis of Zhenyuan, so each and every one of you will be infected!"

"Did you know about the outbreak of smallpox in The qiang kingdom? Do you know who cured it?"

"It's me, Shen Lang!"

"Brothers of the Zheng Tuo army, do you want to live? It's very simple. As long as you take off your armor, throw away your weapons, and come to me, Shen Lang, I can give you divine medicine that can cure your smallpox."

It was really hard for Dasha to memorize so many words.

Zheng Tuo, on the other hand, was desperately trying to dispel the rumor.

"Brothers, don't fall for Shen Lang's trick. You don't have smallpox at all. It's just a common poison rash. If it's smallpox, why am I not afraid of it? Why don't I run away?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little relieved.

A moment later, however, Dasha's voice was heard again from the Shen Lang barracks.

"Of course, Zheng Tuo and Zheng Long aren't afraid of smallpox, because he's been vaccinated for a long time, and everyone in Marquis of Zhenyuan has been vaccinated, so he won't be infected with smallpox for the rest of his life."

"Brothers in the Zheng Tuo army, your commander, Zheng Tuo, has hidden the truth and has not treated you. He wants you to die!"

Zheng Tuo's army, which was already in a state of panic, was now even more terrified.

Next, two thousand people from Shen Lang barracks shouted in unison, "Smallpox, smallpox, smallpox!"

Zheng Tuo could not bear to shout, "All the cavalry mounted and killed Shen Lang's bandit army."

Zheng long said, "Father, it's not good to fight at night."

Zheng tuo said, "Can I not know?"

But now the army was in a panic, and if they did not take advantage of this last bit of morale to kill for a while, when the outbreak of smallpox became more serious tomorrow, it would be even more unbearable for a war.

However, Zheng Tuo's cavalry had just gathered.

Shen Lang's side lit countless torches, and all the The qiang kingdom cavalry mounted their horses and began to run away.

"Chase, chase, chase..."

Zheng Tuo ordered, and his 4,000 cavalry chased after him.

Their horses were indeed much taller, and their sprints were much faster.

But at night, the horses could not see the road clearly and instinctively did not dare to run at full speed.

And the Shen Lang cavalry had escaped a long time earlier.

Although Zheng Tuo's cavalry was getting closer and closer.

But soon the horse ran out of strength and slowed down.

As for the wretched Shen Lang, they slowed down when they saw the slow down of the Zheng Tuo cavalry and remained within a distance.

Then, two thousand people shouted in unison, "Smallpox, smallpox, smallpox!"

Many of the 4,000 horsemen had not had an outbreak of smallpox, but they were already infected with the virus.

Shen Lang's cries for smallpox over and over again gave rise to strong psychological hints.

Many people felt that their bodies were itchy, and when they scratched them, they actually found a rash, which almost drove them crazy.

After a short rest!

Zheng Tuo ordered the cavalry to charge again.

But Shen Lang's cavalry began to run away again, never to fight.

So he chased and ran all the way.

One night was like a game of hide-and-seek, chasing for hundreds of miles, but there was no battle.

Both armies were exhausted.

But Shen Lang's army was flirting, while Zheng Tuo's cavalry was anxious and almost broke down!

It's almost dawn!

Shen Lang's army suddenly stopped teasing the Zheng Tuo cavalry and began to charge towards a place.

"Father, are you still chasing me?" Zheng Long asked.

Zheng Tuo shook his head and said, "We can't chase him anymore. It's almost dawn."

As soon as daybreak broke, his cavalry would find that many people had chickenpox on their faces, and the fear of smallpox would be completely overshadowed.

By that time, the morale would have completely collapsed.

"Go back, hurry back!" Zheng Tuo trembled.

Of course, he was not reconciled. He had been holding back a lot of anger that night.

Shen Lang, you little beast, will one day break you into pieces, into pieces!

"Return to the barracks, return to the barracks!"

Zheng Tuo ordered.

Four thousand tired cavalry slowly returned to the camp.

A moment later.

It's dawn!

Many of the cavalry were horrified to find that some of their faces were already covered with chickenpox.

"You too, you too!"

"Oh my god, there's so much on your face."

"Smallpox, this is smallpox."

When the incubation period arrived, quite a number of people had an outbreak of smallpox.

Zheng tuo roared, "Go back to the castle and treat it."

But at this moment.

A strange shriek sounded from behind.

Shen Lang's The qiang kingdom cavalry came after him crazily.

And it was incredibly fast.

Because all of Shen Lang's cavalry had been changed, not far from here, he had prepared a battalion with more than two thousand horses in it.

Although the horses in The qiang kingdom were short, they were numerous, so it was normal for them to ride two horses per person.

"Kill, kill, kill..."

"Smallpox, smallpox, smallpox..."

Two thousand The qiang kingdom cavalry charged after them.

Zheng long said, "Father, what should we do? Turn around and fight?"

Zheng Tuo looked at his cavalry. His horse was exhausted and his morale was about to collapse.

But never leave your back to the enemy.

"Turn around and fight, fight!"

Zheng Tuo ordered the 4,000 horsemen to turn around and prepare to fight Shen Lang.

But this bitch Shen Lang, his cavalry stopped again.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

They began to shoot in the air.

Zheng Tuo ordered, "Shoot, shoot!"

However, zheng's cavalry was not as good at riding and shooting as The qiang kingdom's cavalry, let alone bow and arrow.

Shen Lang was able to shoot the Zheng Tuo cavalry, but the Zheng Tuo cavalry was still a little short, and even if they could shoot it, they were at the end of their tether.

This round of shooting, suffered a great loss.

Zheng Tuo's cavalry was so angry that they couldn't help but rush forward and try to shoot again when they got closer.

But the Shen Lang cavalry retreated again. Their horses were new and powerful, and the Zheng Tuo cavalry could not catch up with them.

"Stop chasing, go back, go back!"

However, the Zheng Tuo cavalry had just returned.

Shen Lang's cavalry chased after him, harassing him with another wild attack and shooting at him.

Zheng Tuo is really going crazy!

He had never met such a lowly opponent before.

He ran as soon as he was beaten and chased after him as soon as he retreated.

Endless sneak attacks, endless harassment.

He swore that he had never hated anyone as much as he did today.

Three or four times later.

The horses of Zheng Tuo's cavalry were exhausted to the extreme. He completely gave up fighting back, and his cavalry's morale nearly collapsed because of the massive outbreak of smallpox.

"Don't turn around, return to the castle, return to the castle!"

"Full speed!"

All of a sudden, Zheng Tuo's 3,000 horsemen did not turn their heads back and ran furiously towards Marquis of Zhenyuan.

And at this very moment!

Shen Lang suddenly ordered, "Kill, kill!"

Then, his two thousand horsemen began to charge wildly.

Full of physical strength, the horse galloped crazily, the speed was extremely fast.

After approaching the Zheng Tuo cavalry, they fired in unison.

Dasha found a tree trunk together, spread his legs, and rushed into the Zheng Tuo cavalry formation.

"Brush, brush, brush..."

Sweeping through a large area.

Zheng Tuo didn't care anymore, just ran away with his head buried.

That's it!

Four thousand fallen cavalry, chased by Shen Lang two thousand The qiang kingdom cavalry.

It was a total pressure hit.

The real defeat was like a landslide.

Countless deaths and injuries!

When Zheng Tuo returned to the barracks, he found that the number of cavalry around him was less than two thousand.

More than half of the casualties were lost!

It makes people vomit blood!

After returning to the camp, the situation became even worse.

Although he was prepared, he knew that smallpox would break out in the army today.

But I didn't expect so many.

At first glance, countless people had chickenpox and hives all over their faces.

And many people began to throw up and down, and began to have a high fever.

Zheng Tuo's scalp went numb and ordered, "Everyone return to the castle, return to the castle!"

After that, more than 10,000 troops returned to the castle in Marquis of Zhenyuan.

Instead of killing Shen Lang that day and night, thousands of troops were lost.

Zheng Tuo's army, all retreated into the castle.

Once again, the Shen Lang cavalry returned to the intersection and blocked the exit to Marquis of Zhenyuan.

Everything seemed to be back to the past.

Zheng Tuo almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Shen Lang, I fuck your mother, I fuck your mother!

...

The next few days!

The Zheng Tuo army in Marquis of Zhenyuan deteriorated day by day.

In the end, more than eighty to ninety percent of the soldiers suffered from smallpox and died in patches.

The whole castle was like hell.

The military doctors were optimistic that Marquis of Zhenyuan was in good condition, with enough medicinal herbs and the best environment, so half of the people infected with smallpox survived.

However, the optimistic doctor himself died.

Because all the herbs in Marquis of Zhenyuan are not clean.

Shen Lang was always shouting outside the castle.

"Food is poisonous, water is poisonous."

"Smallpox, smallpox!"

In this way, the soldiers in the castle did not dare to drink or eat at all.

As a result, the immune system dropped rapidly.

There were no medicinal herbs to ease the inflammation, not enough food to eat, and not enough water to drink.

In fact, they didn't know that as long as they boiled the water and drank it, nothing happened.

And since it was already infected with smallpox, food could be eaten boldly.

But Zheng Tuo's army didn't know.

More and more people die every day.

Because most of the people were infected with smallpox, almost no one carried the bodies and no one guarded the city.

Shen Lang's army became even more arrogant and went directly under the castle gates.

"Brothers in the castle, Shen Lang is a miracle doctor who can cure smallpox."

"Shen Lang is a miracle doctor who can cure smallpox."

In the end, dozens of large pots were arranged in a row and started to boil the so-called miracle medicine.

"God's medicine for smallpox, god's medicine for smallpox!"

"Brother who wants to live, escape."

Zheng Tuo immediately ordered a very small number of people who did not have smallpox to guard the castle gate and kill anyone who dared to escape.

However, how could Marquis of Zhenyuan be so big?

Many soldiers with smallpox used ropes to climb down the city wall at night, then frantically rushed to Shen Lang's camp.

"Divine medicine, I want divine medicine, I want divine medicine!"

Then, each of them really got a bowl of divine medicine.

This drink is really amazing.

It's really not itchy at all. It's so comfortable.

Shen lang roared, "Brothers, is the divine medicine really real?"

Everyone shouted, "The real medicine, the real medicine."

In fact, this is not a god's medicine, it is just a chinese medicine soup with ingredients.

After drinking it, the whole person was excited first, then anaesthetized, of course, it didn't itch.

The people in the castle were completely shocked to see this!

There really is a miracle drug!

How could it really cure smallpox?

In the face of survival, what loyalty vanished.

Inside the castle, Zheng Tuo's army tried their best to escape.

At first, he used ropes to climb down.

In the end, it directly hit the gate.

Zheng Tuo's direct line refused to open the door, so the two sides fell out.

The internal strife became more and more serious and turned into a big fight.

The whole situation was completely out of control and completely turned into a mess!

Zheng Tuo watched the scene from the top of the castle.

He could no longer control this army.

At first, the army was just a scuffle between those who wanted to break out of the castle and those loyal to Zheng Tuo.

But the relationship between us and the enemy is blurry. Who knows who is from which camp.

Hence, a great scuffle broke out.

In fear, he would kill anyone he saw.

Within the beautiful castle, it was like hell.

...

"Empty, empty!"

Zheng Tuo looked at all of this with a cold body, tears gushing out.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Zheng Tuo really regretted it. If he had not been selfish in the beginning, he would have led 20,000 troops out of White night pass to support Zhang Chong.

Then he would be the real hero now.

However, who in this world can not be selfish?

"I hate it, I hate it!" Zheng Tuo said bitterly, "Little thief shen lang, I will break you into pieces, into pieces!"

Then, Zheng Tuo asked, "Long er, do you think the king will forgive me if I go to the capital to plead guilty now?"

Zheng Long shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Your majesty is so petty and unkind. How can he forgive you?"

Zheng Tuo trembled and said, "Then where can we go?"

Zheng long said, "Go to Chu kingdom! Even if you buy bones with a thousand gold, Chu kingdom will give you a title. Although there may be no military power, there is no problem with prosperity."

Zheng Tuo shuddered and said, "Yes, to Chu kingdom, to Chu kingdom!"

Zheng long said, "Father, we have to leave quickly. If we climb out of the wall in the clothes of ordinary pawns, Shen Lang will not find out!"

"Okay, okay, go now, go now!"

Then, Zheng Tuo and his son put on the clothes of ordinary soldiers and climbed down the wall from the back of Marquis of Zhenyuan, not daring to walk at all. They climbed down the cliff crevices bit by bit.

These two men were extremely skilled in martial arts and actually climbed down the cliff like this.

Two and a quarter minutes later!

The two men returned to the ground.

"It's finally safe. It's safe."

"Go, go to Chu kingdom, go to Chu kingdom!"

Zheng tuo looked at the chaotic Marquis of Zhenyuan and was extremely infatuated and unwilling to give up.

This magnificent castle belonged to him for half a month.

He was close to replacing Su Nan as a great nobleman with a fief and an army, a great warlord.

The zheng family was about to rise.

"Shen Lang, remember, from now on, we will not die, we will not die!"

"Shen Lang, one day, I will break you into pieces, into pieces!"

Then, Zheng Tuo was about to run west.

Suddenly...

His stomach cramped and he collapsed to the ground.

A moment later!

A shadow appeared in front of him.

Princess ning jie.

Zheng Long suddenly knelt down and trembled, "Princess chang, under his majesty's secret decree, I have done my best for a crime. I have done my best for a crime."

Zheng Tuo looked at his son in disbelief and hissed, "You, you poisoned me?"

Zheng Long trembled and said, "Father, I'm sorry, I have no choice. The emperor gave me a secret decree. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can't be both. I can only kill my family with justice!"

A moment later, Shen Lang appeared beside princess ning jie.

Zheng Long knelt down to Shen Lang and said, "Young master shen, did you say that my sister Zheng Hongxian is in your Marquis xuanwu's mansion? From now on, we are in-laws. I am willing to kill my family for justice, and I am willing to take credit for my crimes!"

Shen Lang stepped forward and patted Zheng Long on the shoulder, "Well done, well done!"

Zheng Tuo looked at his son in disbelief and let out a shrill howl.

"Poof!" A mouthful of blood gushed out!
