Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 274 The Struggle Between Conscience and Reason (Second Change)

After day and night preparations, Hu Hai finally issued an order, and the main force of the Great Qin Empire secretly marched towards the Western Wei Dynasty.The war is imminent, and the war between Qin and Wei has become urgent.

On May [-], the fifth year of Emperor Qin Empire II, Hu Hai finally launched the war to destroy Wei.

Due to the news from the Black Ice Terrace and Hu Hai's preparations for more than a year, he has always been very clear about the topographical fortresses and military deployments of various countries.

Even if there is a slight change in any country, he will mark it on the map.

Because he knew that the Great Qin Empire could not reduce ten meetings with one force, so it could only do it step by step and plan carefully.Only by making all the preparations can he stand out among the kings of the world.

He is even more familiar with the Western Wei Dynasty, because he knows that a good start is half the battle.

As soon as the army left Hangu Pass, Qin Emperor Hu Hai gave the order to stay day and night.Before the main force arrived, he didn't dare to act presumptuously.

Fengling Ferry.

Qin Emperor Hu Hai stood on the top of a mountain with a dignified expression.After all, he has not experienced the tempering of one battle after another. At this moment, Hu Hai is a little flustered, far from being as calm as he imagined.

"Han Tan, how many troops are there in the Western Wei Dynasty?" Qin Emperor Ying Fei sighed quietly: "Are they all in various places?"

Hearing this, Han Tan hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, according to the news from the Black Ice Terrace and our country's eyeliner in Wei, the whole conclusion is that there are [-] people outside Pingyang City and [-] people inside the city. "

"Daliang has 20 troops stationed, the eldest son of Shangdang County has [-] troops stationed, and Taiyuan County has [-] troops stationed. The entire Western Wei Dynasty has [-] troops, but most of them are mobs and their combat effectiveness is not high."

……

"20 troops?"

Hearing this, Hu Hai was still a little shocked. An army of 20 is quite a lot for the three counties.Even if it is a mob, if the number reaches a certain number, it will be able to break the rules.

Turn decay into miracles and achieve the impossible!

An army of 20 guarding the State of Wei was a great disaster for the Great Qin Empire.Because this battle broke out in the Western Wei Dynasty, the Wei army could be replenished at any time.

Both the source of soldiers and supplies can be continuously replenished.And once the Qin army goes east, it means that it loses support and becomes a lone army.

In addition to being able to get food and grass support, whether it is reinforcements or others, it is impossible to have any more.

After a long silence, Hu Hai finally issued an order: "Sima of the Central Army, immediately send out scouts to send an order: "The defenders will go north and join our army immediately before the [-] soldiers arrive. "

"At the same time, [-] elite infantry led by Lin Feng secretly blocked the upper reaches of the Fenshui River, turning the moat of Pingyang into a dry ditch."

"Order Mengbai to serve as the chief general of the [-] cavalry of the new army, and immediately drive out from the Taolin Heights, go out at night and day and rush forward, suddenly inserted between the [-] Korean army outside Pingyang City and Pingyang, launched a fierce attack, and killed [-] troops. The Han army outside the city was defeated in one fell swoop."

"I ordered [-] heavy armored infantry to go north, led by Zi Cheheng, to guard the three main roads outside Pingyang City, and snipe at the [-] infantry troops who might come to rescue from the surrounding fortresses."

……

Speaking of this, Qin Emperor Hu Hai's gaze was like a torch, and he glanced at the major commanders around him, and said: "I personally command the main force of [-], and Baili Shou as the deputy general will attack Pingyang from the east like Mount Tai."

"Yes—" Nodding in agreement, Meng Bai and the others turned and left.

In order to avoid confusion and lack of military orders, Hu Hai did not wait until the army forced Tianyang before giving orders, but issued a large combat order as soon as the army left Hangu Pass.

This was done by Qin Emperor Hu Hai as a last resort.The [-] cavalry of the new army and the [-] defenders who set out for the expedition have not yet set out in Taolin Heights.

Qin Emperor Hu Hai had conducted detailed investigations, and he knew that it would take three days for the army to reach Pingyang. In order to avoid leaking news, the Qin army had to go out day and night.

In this way, the time for the Qin army to reach Pingyang will be infinitely extended.

At first, Qin Emperor Hu Hai didn't want to attack Pingyang in one fell swoop.Because Pingyang is the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty, there are [-] troops inside and outside, and reinforcements from all around can arrive at any time.

But there is a saying in the art of war: by surprise, attack by surprise.It is the best choice for the Qin army to go east for the first time, and attacking Pingyang is the best choice. The same art of war also says-soldiers, tricks!
Attacking Pingyang is of great benefit to the Qin army.As long as Pingyang is defeated, it is equivalent to the return of Hedong County to Qin.At that time, even if the people of the world oppose it, they will not be able to stop the sharpness of the Great Qin Empire.

After thinking about it, Qin Emperor Hu Hai absolutely put all his eggs in one basket and sent troops to attack Pingyang.

Qin Jun came out day and night, advancing along the avenue towards Pingyang.At the time of departure, Qin Emperor Hu Hai gave an order: kill all the people you meet along the way, regardless of gender, age or age!
This is an extremely cruel military order, because along the way north, the Qin army not only killed countless passers-by, but also wiped out one or three caravans.

……

"Your Majesty, there is a village one mile ahead, and the hunters in the village have noticed our army!" Sima of the Chinese army rushed over, his tone extremely anxious.

With a burning gaze, Hu Hai ordered decisively, "Kill the hunter, and the army will detour—"

Along the way, the caravans and passers-by encountered, you can't do without killing them.What I met now was a village, and Hu Hai couldn't be as ruthless as Tucun.

Hearing this, Sima of the Chinese army showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. He said to Hu Hai, "Your Majesty, due to the negligence of the scout battalion, only five of the eight hunters were killed."

"After interrogation, it was found that there were eight people in the group. The fish that slipped through the net may have returned to the village!"

The words of Sima of the Chinese Army shocked Hu Hai.There has been a fish that slipped through the net, which means that the traces of the army will be exposed.

At this time, the army he personally led was only [-].Once the traces are exposed, it will be a huge disaster, and even this time, it will come to naught.

At this moment, Hu Hai was very troubled.Conscience and interests stand at the two ends of the balance, which makes Hu Hai suffer a lot.There is nothing wrong with killing on the battlefield.

But the massacre of villages and cities made him uneasy.Rationally, it is clear that the whole village must be massacred to prevent the news of the army from spreading, but emotionally, Hu Hai can't accept it.

The education of later generations had a great impact at this moment. After all, the education Hu Hai received was patriotic education for later generations, and killing was even more taboo.

He is far from being insane to the point of massacring a village!

At this moment, his eyes finally fell on Qin Emperor Hu Hai.Because Hu Hai's decision is related to whether the traces of the army are leaked, and whether it is effective for the army to hide at night these days.

Thoughts flickered in his mind, Hu Hai fell silent for a while.Reason and conscience are like two villains fighting in Hu Hai's body.

……

"call……"

A quarter of an hour later, Hu Hai let out a long breath, and ordered decisively, "Mi He, lead the former army into the village immediately, and don't leave behind!"
