Chapter 74: Dangerous Moves
In the end, I can only focus on Wei Jun, the coach, and see what he says.
Looking at Huo Wuxie, who was having a temper, and a group of generals who were scratching their ears and cheeks, Wei Jun also had no idea, and after thinking about it, he made a very bold decision., only to hear him say: "I decided to support General Huo's idea, and he will lead a team of elite troops to enter the interior of Great Qin to carry out destruction, as for Bai Fengmian is now guarded by us, if he wants to slaughter the city, he must pass our level first!"
When the people heard this, they were terrified, this is easy to say, but will they be able to do it? Now they have a city to defend, but the casualty rate is getting higher and higher day by day, and God knows how long they can hold it. It's hard to guarantee that one day, it will be broken by his Bai Fengmian, and at that time, it will be too late to say anything.
Naturally, they could lead the army to retreat, but what about the people in the city? There are still about 50,000 people in the city at the moment, once the city is lost, and Huo Wuxian will carry out operations within Daqin. Then the fate of these 50,000 people can basically be decided, of course, unless they transfer the people first and escort the people to retreat, which is not good for morale, and the current Han soldiers are all afraid of Bai Fengmian.
If it weren't for the presence of the generals and the Overseer's brigade, there would have been deserters among them, so now is the time to fight to the death, and escorting the civilians will inevitably alarm the troops. People have a herd mentality, and if they see the people evacuating, they will definitely know that the upper leaders are also not confident in this battle, so there will be soldiers who will blend in with the people and run away together.
Of course, not everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, and there will be people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the country, but in this world, there are still more mortals, and as long as they are mortals, they will inevitably be afraid of death. What kind of family and country are righteous, they don't care about it.
The premise of wanting to keep these things is that there is a life to live, and the life is gone, what is the use of talking about it, waiting for one's own life to die, at most it is a condolence from the state, and the remaining orphans, widows, and elderly parents, who will take care of them?
It is ridiculous to ask the soldiers to do what they could not do on their own. Therefore, although they had already decided to retreat, they did not dare to retreat, lest they be discovered by the already frightened soldiers, and their morale fell greatly, and finally it turned into an unstoppable rout.
If it really comes to that time, everything will be over, and some of them would have wanted to have some people oppose it, but there is no good way, so if they don't send people to attack the interior of Great Qin, then these 50,000 people will definitely be able to survive? The answer is obvious, it is simply impossible.
From the order of the Great Qin Emperor to Bai Fengmian leading the troops, this is already doomed, not a war for the sake of fighting for the enemy's territory and occupying the enemy's resources, but the simplest revenge. Now that the purpose of both sides has been very clear, isn't the best way to take revenge is to kill? Now that the outcome has been decided, then they have nothing to hesitate about, and they all keep silent, obviously acquiescing to this somewhat crazy order.
Wei Jun was old and serious, and he didn't dare to give him all the Red Dragon Army, besides, even if he infiltrated, if there were too many people, it would be easy to be discovered, so he thought about it again and again, and finally transferred 30,000 people to him, and handed him over to conduct secret training, striving to complete the training within three days. He will also send scouts to check out, and try to find out the planned route of the base, the defense of the other party, and the blind spots of Bai Fengmian's army within three days, so that Huo Wuxian can enter the Qin State smoothly.
In this way, everything is going on tensely, and the army of Bai Fengmian outside is still attacking the city day and night, but the number and intensity of attacks in the past three days are not as good as at the beginning. However, this did not arouse the French intention of the Han army, and they all thought that the Qin army was too tired, so they slowed down the attack.
After all, the besieging side must be more difficult than the defender, and even the defenders of the city are tired and vomiting blood, so how can his besieging side have nothing to do?
said it was three days, but in fact, it only took two days, Huo Wuxian finished the training, after all, it was an ace army, with a good foundation, and the obedience and execution of orders were impeccable. It's just that there is inevitably some arrogance in their bones, let them wear ordinary military uniforms, and even this set of clothes like night clothes, which makes them feel a little unhappy in their hearts.
But for the sake of the country, they did not complain, and all of them carried out the order perfectly. Huo Wuxian was very satisfied with them, and the horse exploration side had also been explored, the route would be a little far away, but it was absolutely safe, if everything went well, in about ten days, they could bypass Bai Fengmian and reach the border of Cliff Mountain, which was about five hundred miles away from here.
The steep terrain of the cliff mountain is the natural defense line of Daqin, and there is no one to defend it on weekdays, of course, no one will attack from here, after all, such a high cliff is not a joke. If you want to go up from here, it is as difficult as the blue sky, but they have equipment, plus they have an internal line in the Qin State, so they can prepare the iron rope to go up the cliff for them in advance.
With these multiple conveniences, the cliff is not so terrible, and I believe that with their skills, it is no problem to go to the cliff. After everything was ready, Huo Wuxian led the army to say goodbye to everyone and immediately set out on the road.
And the people present, including Wei Jun, all looked at the direction of his departure with a kind of martyr's gaze. There is no way, no matter whether he succeeds or not, it will be difficult for him to come back alive, and if he fails, he will naturally be surrounded and annihilated, and he will die in a foreign land.
But if it succeeds, then he has to face Bai Fengmian and the double encirclement of the generals in Qin, he doesn't know others, but judging from Bai Fengmian's daily behavior, it falls into his hands, and it is very luxurious to want a happy death.
In short, it was a plan to die, and whether he won or lost, he would be very miserable. But that's how he went. No matter how much dissatisfaction and contempt they had for Huo Wuxian before, from this moment on, in their hearts, they had already begun to admit that Huo Wuxie, this young man, was a general who could stand alone.
But then, they couldn't wait for Huo Wuxian to come with good news, because they themselves were going to face a very difficult big problem. And no matter how you deal with this problem, it is very fatal.
On this day, Huo Wuxian has been off for a day and a night, the weather is bright, the sun is very abundant, it is rare and quiet outside the Yinshan Pass, the two sides seem to have made an appointment, Daqin does not attack and shout to kill, Dahan does not scold and defend angrily, and they are quiet to each other. Everyone also enjoyed this hard-won tranquility, and it wasn't until the evening that there was movement on the Qin army's side.
A team of men and horses, with a team of open-air carriages, came towards Yinshan Pass, seemingly without any equipment, just like ordinary farmers. When the Han side saw someone dressed like this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
However, these people are all from the Great Qin side, and they must be traps, so everyone is alert, and when they approach, they can see that the car is full of wounded people, and the clothes are all Han soldiers, but their current appearance is really miserable.
There was blood all over his body, his clothes were almost stained red with blood, and he was completely incapacitated, except for some necessary respiratory organs on his face, and his mouth, there was no good place for the rest. The whole car was littered with stabbed bones and foul-smelling carrion.
After the Great Qin side crippled them, they were not in the mood to give them medicine to bandage, and this medicine was also money! Besides, the two sides were undying enemies, how could they give the enemy a good life and heal them, and then they would beat their own idiots?
After these few days of torture, some of the soldiers who were already weak died in the carriage. But Qin Jun didn't care about them at all, but when it was time, he gave them some porridge and dry food, so that they could all catch a breath and barely die.
So much so that now, after a period of inhuman torture, nearly 100,000 Han soldiers have died on the way to Laishili. The rest of the people are barely getting through the day. And as time drags on, the mortality rate also increases.
At the beginning, only a few people died a day, and now eight days have passed, and people are dying almost every moment, and it has risen exponentially, until now.
Looking at these people, Bai Fengmian's original intention was to kill them directly, the reason was naturally too cruel, from being cruel to the point that he, the big devil who kills people without blinking, is a little unbearable. Killing people is not enough to nod to the ground., and a knife goes down cleanly., so that people suffer less pain., which can be regarded as accumulating virtue.
But like now, it is a bit too much to let them live worse than die and be tortured. In the past, he killed people cleanly, and he did not bother to torture the weak. But today, when he saw a bunch of people, piled up on an open-air carriage, yes, a bunch, they with their hands and feet were scattered, and they were stacked together like cattle by the soldiers of Daqin.
The most obvious thing on a car is the white bones of Sen Sen, the iconic human head, which has been mixed with the rotten flesh of the car, and it is completely impossible to distinguish how many people there are in this car. In short, they are all piled together, exuding a rancid stench full of malice to this cruel world. Occasionally, there are those who are not dead, but they are howling unwillingly.
The screams, like the horns of hell, torment people's fragile heartstrings all the time, facing such a group of people who are like hellish demons, feeding them is undoubtedly the most stressful job.
But now, according to the instructions above, let Bai Fengmian send these people back., so as to drag the big man back, so that the big man has to transfer a large number of people to take care of them. As a result, they will attack from inside and outside, drag down the financial, manpower and material resources of the Han Dynasty internally, and intensify their attacks externally, striving to defeat the Han Dynasty in a short period of time.
I really don't know if it was the madman's idea to Emperor Qin, Bai Fengmian glanced at them from a distance, and felt that his stomach was a little upside down, and he felt uncomfortable.
And their taste is even more unbearable, and even the soldiers of Daqin have been affected, which is why the attacks in the past few days are not as good as before. Now they can be regarded as being able to send these "biological weapons" out, and they are all happy.
At the same time, Bai Fengmian also realized that this was an opportunity. When you send someone back, the other party is bound to open the door to greet you. Once the other party takes the initiative to open the door, it will be a godsend for Daqin! Although it is somewhat despicable to use the wounded, war is what it is, it is a game without rules, and you are the one who is on the right side only if you win in the end.
Regarding those injured, Bai Fengmian also has a plan, that is, when the city is broken, he will give them a good time, let them ascend to bliss as soon as possible, and use everything they can use to create opportunities, which is his Bai Fengmian's way of using troops. As for reputation, he doesn't care anymore, anyway, no matter what he says, everyone will think that this must be done by him Bai Fengmian, and no one else will be so perverted except him.
The person who thought of this poisonous plan, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, actually let Bai Fengmian carry this pot, which also made Bai Fengmian Zhuoshi depressed for a while.
On the other side, there are people who are more depressed than him, such as the Han generals who defend the city, since he is Wei Jun, his hair is going to turn white, and Wei Jun is in a dilemma for the injured outside. Let them in? In this way, the gates of the city will be wide open, and Bai Fengmian, who has done such a shameless thing, will definitely call the opportunity to attack.
When the city is breached, their fate will definitely be similar to that of the wounded.
Second, although the food, grass, and medicine in the city were supported by the state, they were barely enough to deal with their new forces, and there was still a surplus there, which was distributed to the wounded who had no medicine at all. Their arrival is useless except for the diversion of important strategic resources and the care of personnel.
The third is the morale of the army, and the fierce battles have made the Han exhausted, and even become a frightened bird. And now, such a group of people suddenly appeared, God knows, this is the fuse that will trigger the collective rout of the Han people, in case the soldiers are frightened and bent on escaping. Then he, the general, is afraid that he is going to do it to the end, and the above reasons fully explain how high the risk factor is for accepting these people.
But it's very simple to refuse them, that is, to kill them directly, and they will be killed. Treating these people as if they were enemy troops was a bit ruthless, but it was the best way.
Let's just say that all this is Bai Fengmian's trick, intending to use some dummies to deceive them, or that Bai Fengmian is insidious and vicious, intending to use these people to give them a plague, so that the plague in the Han Dynasty is rampant, and so on.
Anyway, his reputation in the past was not very good, and he often waved a knife at civilians, such dirty water is naturally easy to believe. Now there is only one question, that is, will Wei Jun do this?
He Wei Jun is not Bai Fengmian, Bai Fengmian's family background is a middle-class nobleman, and his father is a general. Due to his small position and low status, he was often sent to do dangerous and unmeritorious tasks.
It is precisely because of this that his father will desperately accompany Bai Fengmian to help him get ahead. So whenever there is a kind of battle that is not dangerous and the battle is cruel, he will take Bai Fengmian with him.
Bai Fengmian was only six years old when he first saw a dead man, and when he killed someone for the first time, he was only eight years old. That time, under his father's stern gaze, his immature little body, holding a sword taller than him, trembled and walked in front of an enemy soldier whose hands and feet were tied.
Under the cries and pleadings of the enemy soldiers, he was also frightened, frightened, and even looked back helplessly, hoping that his father would stop this absurdity, but what he got in exchange was his father's extremely harsh scolding, and the ridicule of those present.
In the end, he didn't know how he had stabbed the sword, but he just felt himself roar, and then swung it with all his might! Then he closed his eyes, and in the midst of the exclamations of the crowd and the desperate cries of the soldier, a sword stabbed into the ground as if an ordinary man were driving a stake.
Blood flew up in an instant, splashing on his little face, the man's unwilling cry before he died, and his struggle, all went further, stimulating Bai Fengmian's young heart. From beginning to end, Bai Fengmian had his eyes closed, and he was young and couldn't face all this, although he had been on the battlefield since he was a child and was used to seeing dead people, it can be seen that dead people and murder are completely two different concepts.
One was a bystander, the other was an executor, and when he opened his eyes and looked at the person he had killed, the whole person was stupefied! The first thing that caught his eye was the unwilling, desperate, and resentful face of the man before he died!
He had never seen a person's face make three expressions at the same time, and do it so realistically and so terrifyingly. But what's even more terrifying is that the man's eyes are staring at him!
What kind of eyes are they! The eyeballs protrude, the white of the eyes are blood-red, and the black pupils reflect flashes of light, as if there are still a pair of eyes in that person's eyes! They are staring at him deadly! Remember him! In the future, they will turn into a terrible ghost! As if they want to ask for his life!
And then there was blood, blood all over the ground, and a small pool of blood was formed at his feet, and he was standing in this pool of blood, and at the same time his body was covered with blood, and at first he only felt that the blood was hot, and it hurt all over his body.
But now he felt that his blood was very cold, cold like the cold of eternity, and it was about to freeze his whole body, and even freeze him to death! A chill surged up his brain from the soles of his feet at a very fast speed.
It was a feeling he will never forget, and then he let out a terrible scream, and he fainted as a young man. I don't know how long it took for him to wake up leisurely, and when he woke up, he didn't say a word, just sat quietly and thought like that.
But his father apparently did not give him time to rest, and when he heard that he was awake, he went in and slapped him in spite of the obstacles of his family!
made his father lose face in front of people, and then he was beaten again. Poor Bai Fengmian, who was only eight years old at the time, was not comforted by his family after being stimulated so much, but instead scolded, which made his young mind twisted to the extreme.
When his worldview was not fully formed, he learned to kill, and believed that it was right to kill, and that only by killing would he gain the respect of others and the praise of his father. It was at that time that in his eyes, people were no longer humans, but animals.
Killing has also become a habit for him, and everything he does after that is to prepare for killing, learning kung fu and killing people in battle.
Learn the art of war, kill people for the country, even perverted, kill the people in the house when you have nothing to do, only to be stopped by his father, and at the same time instill in him the meaning of the enemy.
Then, when he was twelve years old, he led his troops to attack a small village in an enemy country for the first time. At that time, he brought a hundred people, and most of the people in the village were old people and children.
As for the young men and middle-aged men, there were less than fifty men, all of them were unarmed civilians, and most of the ordinary generals threatened them with force, and then the soldiers collected them bloodlessly. The people are naturally timid and eat this set.
Moreover, wars are frequent, and they are also accustomed to this kind of life, no matter who comes, as long as they lead the troops, they will surrender immediately. But this time, they never had a chance to surrender to anyone else.
The young Bai Fengmian didn't even look at them, and directly ordered the slaughter of the village and the collection of available strategic materials., this is simply a bandit!
After that, he climbed up step by step, and in a key battle, in order to ensure a complete victory, he gave up rescuing his father, so that his father died tragically. Afterwards, he was personally summoned by Emperor Qin, and praised him for his loyalty to the country.
But only he knew that even if nothing else, he didn't want to save his father. For so many years, his father, like an iron chain tied to his neck, always controlled him, pressed him, and prevented him from killing like crazy.
Now that his father is gone, the tiger in his heart is out of the cage, looking at the world, no one can stop him anymore, and the endless desire to kill in his heart has been completely released. Only then did people really realize that he Bai Fengmian was a perverted madman, "killing people like hemp", these four words.
He could not answer one ten-thousandth of the people he had killed, and now he had developed a habit of being angry if he didn't kill, and killing more in his life, but whenever night came, he was alone. I always think of the nightmare when he was eight years old, the man's face, his eyes, always lingering, and he no longer folded his head all the time.
This kind of psychological torture has evolved to the present, making him not angry with reality, and it seems that only when he kills can he forget the nightmare of that year.
But Wei Jun is different, he was born as a civilian, he has been in the army since he was a child, from a small soldier, and has accumulated little by little to his current status. As a result, he was also appreciated by Han Zaixing, and received Han Zaixing's guidance, which laid a solid foundation for his future.
But now he saw that so many Han soldiers were hovering on the line of life and death, and every time he hesitated, more soldiers would die. The death of these people has caused a lot of psychological pressure on Wei Jun, if it weren't for Bai Fengmian outside, always ready to attack the city, he would have ordered the city gate to be opened and the heroes go home!
Although these people are pitiful, the people behind him are even more pitiful, and once this city is lost, more people will die, for the sake of the people behind him. He couldn't open it, and he didn't dare to open it, so he could only turn his heart sideways and endure the pain in his heart and the tears in his eyes. He ordered: "Someone is coming! Order! The enemy is coming!. Counterattack in an all-round way! If they are within range of the attack, they will attack with all their might, leaving no mouth alive!"
"Yes," the man below replied to his order strictly.
There is a way to be merciful and not to be in charge of the army, and when necessary, some sacrifices must be made. For this order, the other generals also collectively supported it, which was also the best choice. If these people can be saved, and there is still a certain combat effectiveness.
Then if he gives this order, there will definitely be people who oppose it. But now it's different, they have become completely crippled, even if they can come back alive, they can only become a burden on the Great Han Kingdom, rather than let them live rather than die, it is better to let them die happily.
At the same time, the big Han up and down, after seeing Bai Fengmian's methods again, became more united, this is also because the pressure outside is too great, so big that they don't have the mind at all, and they don't have time to fight, for such a result., Wei Jun is very happy. The morale has risen, and the next battle has some chance of winning.
Outside the city, a group of carriages had just arrived at the city, and they were violently attacked, and in order to prevent future troubles, he used rockets, fire oil and other flammable materials. Even if you can't shoot them, you can burn them alive, the Great Qin side just paid, some thin horses and wooden carriages, and the rest is nothing.
As a victorious general, Bai Fengmian naturally has his own unique views on the psychological character of enemy generals. He had long expected that the other party would definitely kill the killer and keep the city. In that case, why did he let his soldiers die in vain? It's just that he still has a glimmer of expectation in his heart, expecting that the other party's general will be a soft-hearted guy, so that he can be more relaxed.
But it turned out that he was not, and after a few days of fighting, he could basically analyze that the enemy general should be a decent veteran, have good war literacy, and have experienced a lot of wars, and may even have fought with him before, so he has a certain understanding of himself.
The best way to deal with such people is to surprise them, because in previous wars, they were all rules and regulations, and there was no novelty. It's all the old ways of arraying, attacking, etc. And these veterans are also used to such wars. Only such a war can give them a sense of control.
But as soon as something happens that they can't control, then they will make mistakes, and they will make mistakes again and again, and finally they will be defeated and die. Regarding this battle, Bai Fengmian has a plan in his heart. Now he has to dispose of all these burdens that have been transported from the country, and there are nearly 500,000 people in total.
Even if they keep killing and burning, they will have to burn for a few days. Moreover, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and more and more people are dying.
For the sake of the health of the Daqin soldiers, he also had to stop the siege plan in his hand, and instead began to transport people.
However, the daily attrition of the army is very staggering, and the consumption of three meals a day for millions of troops is an astronomical amount. He couldn't afford to spend it on Bai Fengmian, and the Great Qin State couldn't afford it! This didn't even count the pensions for the soldiers and the fallen soldiers, etc., so he wrote a letter to the country for this purpose. Tell them that this send-off operation can only run for three days, and if it exceeds three days, let them not have to send it and deal with it on the spot.
First, the road is long, time-consuming and laborious.
Second, the rotten flesh deteriorated, and there were too many epidemics, and after passing through the towns, many people with weak physiques got sick, and it was necessary to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to control the disease.
Thirdly, the people they sent with great difficulty were of no use at all, and could only waste some arrows of the enemy, and the others did nothing. As for their desire to use these people to make a fuss, with the intention of overwhelming the other party in public opinion, it is unlikely that they will be able to do so.
Who let them go on this expedition The general is Bai Fengmian, a general who is notorious all over the world, and the person who passes through his hands, if there is no problem, I am afraid that even a three-year-old child will not believe it.
All in all, transporting these people will not benefit at all, but will cause a lot of trouble, but they still have to symbolically transport a group of people. After all, everyone knows that Dahan has nearly a million troops and is still in Daqin. If these people died inexplicably, it would also be a blow to the prestige of the Qin State.
It seems that these high-ranking people are keen to do this kind of thing, obviously being a bitch, but they still have to set up a memorial arch to prove their justice and innocence. Always lift yourself to the moral high ground, wanting both face and victory. It never seems to be a time to be satisfied.
Bai Fengmian has nothing to say about their approach, and sometimes the party who takes advantage of it will receive a lot of preferential treatment. For example, now, some of the surrounding small countries of Dahan are in a state of silence. The main reason is naturally because they can't beat Bai Fengmian, but they will bring trouble to themselves.
In terms of reasoning, Daqin is avenging the prince, but Dahan used despicable methods to kill other people's princes.
It is also in response to that sentence, those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. Without the harassment of neighboring forces, he can concentrate more on fighting, so he is happy to cooperate with them, act well in this play, and be a good person.
This situation lasted for three days, during which there were horse-drawn carriages that sent people to the city of Yinshan Pass, and then the Han soldiers burned them in a unified manner. At the same time, the Great Qin side is also preaching.
He said, "They had good intentions and sent those million soldiers back to the motherland for free, but in exchange for the merciless shooting of the Han Dynasty! All the millions of soldiers were burned to death at the Yinshan Pass! Such a ruthless act made people angry!"
As soon as this remark came out, the whole world was in an uproar, of course, the water in these words was bigger, that was more than a million people, not more than a million dead pigs, let him burn casually, and he didn't resist, they burned in the past few days, and tens of thousands of people died, and they burned day and night.
In order to burn them all, in Yinshan Pass, all the oil and firewood that can be used to fuel the fire were taken away by the soldiers, so that in the current Yinshan Pass, there is not even a little cooking smoke. Whether it was the people, the soldiers, and even the generals began to eat raw food, and it was the kind of raw food that had no oil or water at all.
Everything that could make a fire was taken away. Fortunately, such days were short-lived, and it was over after only about two days, but the next battle was even more brutal.
