Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

The sudden and violent spread of the plague made Sun Jian feel a little unprepared. It stands to reason that the plague is not easy to spread in winter, but this time the plague is indeed fierce. Sun Jian is eager to capture Yunwu City, so the disposal of the corpses is really There are some places that are not in place, and the plague is likely to be caused by these corpses that have not only increased but have not been dealt with.

Not only Sun Jian, but also Han Sui and Dong Zhuo also had serious problems with corpse disposal. Before Dong Zhuo was besieging the city, he asked catapults to throw some corpses directly into the city from outside the city, but those who invested The corpses in the city were mainly concentrated in the outer city. Later Dong Zhuo broke through the outer city, and as a result his own soldiers were standing among the piles of corpses that hadn't been dealt with in time.

Even though Dong Zhuo took some actions to deal with these corpses, in fact the handling of the whole corpses is still relatively bad. Along with the decay of the corpses, many mosquitoes and rats that can spread diseases became active, which greatly accelerated the progress of various diseases. However, many of Han Sui's soldiers had been infected with certain diseases before, but as time went by, the infection of these diseases became worse, and the situation began to get out of control.

The key siege battle has been going on in full swing. Even though the physical and mental state of many soldiers are already very bad, the orders they received are to attack, attack, and attack again, as if their lives are all Those that are worthless, like ants on the ground, can be discarded anytime and anywhere, and can be wiped out anytime, anywhere, and no one will feel sorry.

Finally, when the plague became severe enough, Dong Zhuo's soldiers took the lead in abandoning the attack, and no matter what orders Dong Zhuo gave them at this time, they would all die anyway, and I would kill them. Honor!

Of course Dong Zhuo was very angry, and immediately ordered the execution of many soldiers and generals who did not want to continue to attack, but this situation has not been reversed at all, and more soldiers have been ruined. Seeing that if Dong Zhuo continues like this, there will only be two situations Either he killed all the soldiers under him, and then he took the weapons to attack the city, or he aroused the anger in the hearts of the soldiers and made them decide to completely resist him, then there would be camp screams or even rebellion. Either situation is not going to be good for Dong Zhuo.

So Dong Zhuo, who gradually calmed down, could only order to stop the siege first, find a way to clean up the corpses between the inner city and the outer city, and then wait for the plague in the army to get better.

The situation on Han Sui's side may be slightly better than that of Dong Zhuo, probably because many soldiers infected with the plague were killed or escaped during the battle with Dong Zhuo, which made Han Sui's army less infected with the plague. But this does not mean that Han Sui's situation is very good, because if the time continues, the food and grass in the city will become less and less. Unless the soldiers and people in the city die because of this plague, the consumption of food and grass will Still big.

Moreover, many people lose their mobility after falling ill, which makes the remaining slightly healthy people have to bear more work, which makes their already tense emotions even more tense. On the verge of collapse, many people feel that they are not as good as being sick, at least they can rest.

Under such circumstances, some people actually took the initiative to try to infect themselves, and this phenomenon was of course very scary to Han Sui. He had to order some soldiers or ordinary people who were seriously infected to be killed directly, or quarantined in a certain place. In fact, isolation is equivalent to abandoning them and letting them fend for themselves.

Every day, a large number of corpses are discarded and buried in dug holes, or gathered in a certain open space to light a fire and burn them. There are fewer and fewer people carrying corpses. Many people were carrying corpses on the ground one moment, and they became corpses that need to be carried by others the next moment.

Under such circumstances, the efficiency of dealing with corpses continued to decline, so that even though Han Sui thought of various methods, the actual implementation was quite poor. There were always more and more corpses, and the plague seemed to be getting worse and worse. Seriously, it seems that without waiting for the food in the city to run out, the city will become a completely dead city because of this plague.

Many people don't even have the strength to eat, and simply lie on the ground or in a corner, quietly waiting for death to come. Perhaps for many of them, death is really a relief .

But even so, there are still some soldiers under Han Sui who have not completely given up hope, did not give up resistance, and are still guarding the city tenaciously. They are unwilling to surrender or become prisoners of the Eastern Han Dynasty. For them, dying in battle is a much better way of dying than dying in the plague.

The situation on Sun Jian's side is actually the best in comparison, but it's not much better. The key is that the living space of the soldiers on Sun Jian's side is the narrowest, and the overall terrain in the north of Yunwu City is very complicated. Camps must be built on complex terrain, which makes it very inconvenient for soldiers to perform various actions on weekdays. In some places, there is a large difference in height and height. Places that seem to be close in a straight line often need to go around a long way. This is undoubtedly a very headache situation.

Because this makes it difficult for his army to continue to advance in complex terrain after being attacked by the plague, because more soldiers will lose their physical fitness and even lose their ability to move, so even if the soldiers infected by the plague in Sun Jian's army It is the least, but the impact is not too small. Many soldiers who were forced to camp in relatively remote and steep areas died quietly in these places after being infected with the plague. There will be no other soldiers until a period of time Come to them to find their bodies.

But their corpses can't be taken away, they can only find a way to bury or burn them in situ. Compared with Han Sui and Dong Zhuo who can centralize a large number of corpses in a relatively flat area, the dead soldiers like Sun Jian It is difficult to carry out centralized processing, so the efficiency of corpse processing will be greatly reduced.

After going back and forth, the combat effectiveness of Sun Jian's entire army continued to decline. Many soldiers who landed by boat later were reluctant to come because they were also afraid that they would be affected by the plague, so they could only go after landing. Camp on the river beach.
