Chapter 911 Invisible Monsters
"Why do you need to connect the ship with chains?" After another five days, Cao Ren could no longer hold it back because Cai Mao's behavior had already made her angry.
Cao Cao wrote to him that the enemy might attack with fire, so he ordered them not to connect the ships. At the same time, he told them to be careful that Zhou Yu used tricks to kill each other and clean up the camp to avoid being hurt by fire...
Cao Ren actually wanted to complain at that time. It was not the first time she led a army. Is it necessary to be so detailed? As a result, looking at what good things did the Jingzhou Legion do?!
The isolation belt was not done well, and now her soldiers were not allowed to approach the military camp. The key is that they have also started to connect all the warships with iron ropes in the past two days, saying that the ships are more stable and the soldiers are more controlled.
"Where does a group of well-trained naval soldiers need to use this method?" Cao Ren directly swears. He got lost in Dongting Lake, which led to having to set up a formation on Wulin. Later, he was all kinds of independent people. Why do he feel that the enemy did not intend to use fire attack, but he was constantly inciting the other party to use fire attack?
"Captain Cao Army, General Cai asked you to enter the account and talk." Zhang Yun walked out slowly, his face not very good.
"What the hell is going on?" Cao Ren felt something strange, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Some things can't be hidden... I don't let you come over to our side, it's for your own good." Zhang Yun sighed and led the way. "It started for about ten days. A few soldiers in the camp felt uncomfortable. At that time, they just thought they were not suitable for the local conditions. Who knew that the situation became worse and worse, and more soldiers felt uncomfortable..."
After following Zhang Yun in, he just saw the soldiers inside and knew that what Zhang Yun said was not false. Most of them looked panicked, afraid that they would get infected with the disease. Some of the tents were isolated and separated from each other. I think that the soldiers inside were infected.
"You are here..." When I came to the side of the coach, Cai Mao was also lying on the camp bed. In recent days, he always vomited and had diarrhea, which was very uncomfortable, and he lost a lot of weight because of this.
"Why haven't you seen each other for a few days..." Cao Ren looked at Cai Mao in surprise.
"I don't know... I thought it was a cold at first, but who knew it was getting worse and worse." Cai Mao held back, but suddenly his stomach churned. He took a basin and vomited it out with a "wow".
"The general vomited and had diarrhea these days, and he couldn't eat much, and his body became weaker and weaker..." Zhang Yun had to explain.
"Have you ever contacted a doctor?" Cao Ren asked immediately.
"I looked for it, took the medicine, but it was useless..." Zhang Yun shook his head.
"Sorry..." Cai Mao said weakly, "Too many... the navy... fell ill... so..."
"Because too many naval soldiers fell ill and could not control the ship, we had to urgently arrange some infantry to try to control it. But there was no way. They had no experience in controlling the ship before, so we could only make this decision." Zhang Yun knew that Cai Mao had worked hard and had to help explain it clearly.
"It's just like that, how can we fight this battle?" Cao Ren was a little annoyed. She advocated joining the Jingzhou Legion to attack Sun Quan's power. As a result, the decisive battle has not begun. At most, there were several small-scale water battles on the river in the past few days.
Although each has its own victory or defeat, it cannot determine the general trend of this battle!
"But, aren't you worried about the other party using fire attack?" Cao Ren knew the problem of the Jingzhou Legion, but she also expressed her concerns, "If you connect the ships like this, if Zhou Yu uses fire attack at that time... I'm afraid it will be impossible to deal with it!"
"Haha..." Cai Mao smiled, "Where does the southeast wind come from in winter..."
"I discussed with the general..." Zhang Yun helped add, "There will not be southeastern wind in winter, it will be northerly wind. If the other party uses fire to attack, it will probably burn itself."
"What you said seems to make some sense..." Cao Ren didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
"This time, the invitation to Commander Cao's army is mainly to explain the situation. If the epidemic further expands, our Jingzhou army may have to leave first... If possible, it would be better to have a general attack in the next few days. Otherwise, we would probably have to use up our own consumption before the attack has been fought..." Zhang Yun said helplessly.
"I'll go back and discuss it with them..." Cao Ren sighed, then turned around and left. As for the current situation of the Jingzhou Army, if it worsens, it will probably be a complete combat power. If it takes ten thousand steps, it will even involve the Yangzhou Legion...
"Southeast wind? Yes, I guess in another ten days, there may be a gust of southeast wind!" Back at the camp, I found Gan Ning and told Cai Mao's statement, but she directly rejected it, "I used to be cruising here on the Yangtze River. In winter, it was indeed this period, and there would be occasional southeast winds, mostly in the middle of the night."
"In other words, the other party may really use fire attack?" Cao Ren was shocked. He didn't expect that Cao Cao was far away from Xu Du, and had already anticipated the possible changes here!
"To be honest, just like the Jingzhou army at present, if there is really a southeast wind and if the other party does not know how to attack with fire, there is no need to continue to resist. It is better to surrender directly." Gan Ning thought for a while.
"But what kind of epidemic is actually spreading so quickly, the key medicine is helpless..." Cao Ren couldn't figure it out.
"Sir!" At this moment, the military officer came out with the military officer. Originally, there was no such position in the army, but since the establishment of the Dahan Medical College and the marching doctor began to appear, the position of military officer appeared.
"Oh, is there anything?" Cao Ren was stunned at first, then realized something, and asked quickly, "It's not that there is an epidemic among our soldiers, right?"
"The epidemic? Our army has been in Yangzhou for a while, and the problem of unacceptable weather and local conditions has long been overcome. And in winter, where will there be a large-scale plague? But the problem is indeed, it is a problem of parasites!" The military doctor replied, and then took it over and took a water tank, "Please see, General!"
Cao Ren looked down and saw that there were a few slight bugs in the water jug, squirming there.
"Is this... a parasite?" Cao Ren also knew a little about this, but she was surprised, how did these bugs come from and why the military doctor brought them over.
"Today, a medical officer from the Jingzhou Legion came to me for treatment and said he had suffered a plague. However, the result of my diagnosis was that he was not ill, but his body was weak, but his abdomen began to bulge slightly and there was a sound of water. So I tried to take him to lacquer Yeqing Jiansan according to the regulations, and successfully induce the insects to vomit." The medical officer replied.
"The source of these parasites is unknown at present, but it is very likely to be related to water... The key is that in a similar situation, it is said that the Jingzhou Legion..." said the medical officer slowly.
"Don't tell me that the soldiers infected with the plague in Jingzhou Legion are actually parasitic diseases?" Cao Ren exclaimed.
