Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 563 557 Biological Weapons

Chapter 563 557. Biological Weapons
"General, we have investigated clearly. The generals from the Wei army should be from Guanzhong, namely Wang Shuang and Hao Zhao. But Wang Shuang was injured by me today, and I think he can only use 40% or 50% of his martial arts. And Hao Zhao seems to be seriously ill, and the arrow he shot seemed to have drained his energy."

Bao Feng returned to the Han army's tent outside Yique Pass and told Feng Xi about the challenge before sunset, especially about Hao Zhao's final arrow and his weakness.

"Haha, it's Hao Zhao indeed. If he is really here to guard Yique Pass, I'm afraid we'll have to put in some effort."

Feng Xi lowered his head, thinking about how to face this famous expert in city defense. In the original timeline, Zhuge Liang was blocked by Hao Zhao at Chencang Road during his second northern expedition, and he was unable to advance an inch during the third northern expedition. He also took advantage of Hao Zhao's serious illness to capture Chencang with a blitzkrieg.

But it seems that Hao Zhao also has a chronic illness, or he has a low immunity.

This kind of physical condition is not uncommon. When it rains and the temperature drops a bit, most people may be fine. However, some people may get seriously ill because they are born with low immunity.

However, this physical condition will only be a bit troublesome in the future, but it is somewhat difficult to deal with in this era of underdeveloped medicine.

But no matter whether Hao Zhao has this physique or not, now that he is seriously ill, Feng Xi also has a way to deal with Hao Zhao.

It’s not that Feng Xi didn’t want to use explosives to blow up Yique Pass directly, but after the previous battle of Wancheng, Feng Xi didn’t have much gunpowder left. Considering the reinforcements from Luoyang City and Cao Zhen, Feng Xi still planned to use it sparingly. If Hao Zhao was in good health, Feng Xi might have directly overturned the table and forcibly blown up Yique Pass.

But now that he knows Hao Zhao is seriously ill, Feng Xi is going to make trouble.

"Bao Feng, let Bao Yi, Shamoke and the 20,000 soldiers rest early. Prepare to attack the city in shifts tonight."

For a seriously ill patient, the most important thing is to rest. Only by sleeping and resting can the human immune system function at the highest efficiency. If you don't get a good rest, let alone recovery, there is even a risk of worsening of the disease.

Feng Xi was the best at making trouble.

At night, Hao Zhao had only been lying down for two hours when he heard shouts and screams of killing. Although Wei Ping and Zhu Shu repeatedly reiterated that they would be responsible for the subsequent defense, Hao Zhao was still worried. How could he sleep peacefully in such an environment with swords and guns clashing and shouts of killing?

"Ahem...what happened?"

Hao Zhao struggled to get up, put on his armor with the help of the guards, and was supported to the city wall. At this time, Hao Zhao had already started to have a fever, which made him a little weak and unable to stand steadily.

"Bo Dao, go back and rest. The Han army only attacked us at night. Now it is dark and windy. They will definitely not be able to defeat our army."

When Wei Ping saw Hao Zhao coming to defend the city despite his illness, he quickly advised him to go back and rest.

"Yes, yes, General Hao, General Wei and I are here tonight, so you don't have to worry."

Zhu Shu also hurriedly spoke up.

"Ahem... I've heard that Feng Xi is unconventional in his use of troops. I'm afraid... ahem, he has a brilliant plan. If you guys are a little careless... ahem, Yique Pass will be lost."

Hao Zhao shook his head. It wasn't that he looked down on these two people, but he was extremely wary of the notorious commander-in-chief opposite him.

From Cao Ren and Lu Xun a few years ago to Man Chong recently, no matter if they were ordinary people or famous generals, no matter if they had flaws or not, they would always be defeated by Feng Xi with some incredible means. So Hao Zhao didn't dare to gamble. In his opinion, as long as he could wait until Cao Zhen's army arrived, Yique Pass would be safe. He could rest as long as he wanted after Cao Zhen arrived, but before that, he had to do everything himself and be there every time he defended the city. Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee whether the Han army would be able to break through Yique Pass this time.

"General Bao, I see. There is a Wei general on the tower who keeps coughing and looks pale."

A soldier holding a monocular telescope next to Bao Yi reminded Bao Yi.

"Let me see."

Bao Yi took the telescope and saw Hao Zhao, who was walking unsteadily, had difficulty standing, and coughed violently from time to time. This man was the one the Grand Commander had told him about before he went to the battle.

"Tell the grenadiers in front to shoot that gas bomb at the city wall! Since the commander-in-chief said it would work, use it!"

Bao Yi remembered the arrangements Feng Xi had made before he came. Although he didn't quite understand the reason behind them, he and Bao Yi felt the same way. Since the Grand Commander had given the order, they just had to follow it even if they didn't understand.

The grenadiers who had been silent and hidden in the darkness appeared from the darkness. The tool they used was something like a large slingshot, nearly as tall as a person, and the range was only 200 meters, which was considered a close distance among the Han army.

After all, their grenadiers were just auxiliary soldiers, and the advantages of this giant slingshot were that it was cheap, easy to make, and easy to carry. In fact, each grenadier only needed to carry it on his shoulder or back, and it was not too heavy.

Moreover, in places like today where catapults and large siege equipment are difficult to enter, their mobility advantage is also highlighted.

Hundreds of grenadiers had already fixed their giant slingshots. When they heard Bao Yi's order, they immediately ignited the ammunition on their waists and shot at the city wall.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Wei Ping saw something flying towards the city wall and shouted a warning, while ordering the guards to carry Hao Zhao to the rear to prevent him from being accidentally injured.

The Wei army already knew about the various weapons of the Han army. They could throw all kinds of strange ammunition by hand, shoot with slingshots, and launch catapults, ranging from kerosene to explosives, so Wei Ping didn't dare to bet on what this thing was.

"Be careful, this is kerosene!"

Wei Ping saw a small bottle fall to the ground and explode, and the ground immediately caught fire. He thought it was just an ordinary kerosene bottle, and quickly called for the soldiers nearby to come and put out the fire to prevent further losses.

"Ahem, what's that smell? It's choking me!"

As a result, the soldier next to him started coughing and looked very painful.

Needless to say, this was naturally Feng Xi's preparation. Ever since the Wuling Man and Nan Man people joined Jingzhou, Feng Xi asked them to classify all kinds of strange plants. Toxic, pungent...Now, in addition to kerosene and plant powders that produce pungent odors, these kerosene bottles also contain traditional gold juice and urine.

There is no other way. These things are the easiest to make and the effect is not bad. Anyone who knows what ammonia smells like knows it. These excrement are already disgusting after burning, and when combined with some sulfur and daylilies, the smell is as bad as it can be. It will also irritate people's respiratory tract, which can be called a biological weapon.

Feng Xi asked Bao Yi to use these things tonight, which was naturally the right medicine for the disease. Even the healthy soldiers of the Wei army were vomited by the smell of these odors, so what would happen to Hao Zhao, who was already seriously ill and weak?
