Chapter 242: The Struggle Between Conscience and Reason (Part 2) (Page 1/1)

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

On May 17, the fifth year of the Second Emperor of the Great Qin Empire, Hu Hai finally launched a great war to destroy Wei.

Due to the news from the Black Ice Platform and the preparations Hu Hai has made for more than a year, he has always been very clear about the terrain, 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 he could only take it step by step and make careful calculations. Only when he is ready for everything can he stand out among the kings of the world.

He knows the Western Wei Dynasty well, because he knows that a good start is half the battle.

As soon as the army came out of Guguan, Qin Emperor Hu Hai issued an order to go out day and night. He did not dare to be presumptuous until the main army arrived.

Fengling Ferry.

Emperor Hu Hai of Qin stood on the top of a hill with a solemn expression. After all, he has not experienced the tempering of one big war after another, and Hu Hai at this moment is a little flustered, and he is far from being able to be as calm as he imagined.

"Han Tan, how many troops are there in the Western Wei Dynasty?" Emperor Qin Yingfei sighed faintly: "All in various places? ”

Hearing this, Han Tan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, according to the news from the Black Ice Platform and our country's eyeline in the Wei State, the conclusion reached by the whole group is that there are 30,000 outside Pingyang City and 20,000 inside the city. ”

"Daliang has 20,000 troops, the eldest son of Shangdang County has 30,000 troops, and Taiyuan County has 50,000 troops. There were 200,000 troops in the entire Western Wei Dynasty, but most of them were rabble, and their combat effectiveness was not high. ”

……

"200,000 troops?"

Hearing this, Hu Hai was still a little shocked in his heart. An army of 200,000 is already a lot for the land of the three counties. Even if it is a rabble, when the number reaches a certain number, it can break the convention.

Turn decay into magic, and achieve the impossible!

The 200,000-strong army guarding the Wei State was a great disaster for the Great Qin Empire. Because this battle broke out in the Western Wei, the Wei army could be replenished at any time.

Both the supply of soldiers and supplies can be continuously replenished. And once the Qin army went east, it meant that it lost support and became a lone army.

Except for the support of food and grass, whether it is reinforcements or others, it is impossible to have any more.

After being silent for a long time, Hu Hai finally issued an order: "Sima of the Chinese army, immediately send a scout to order: "Before the 20,000 defenders arrive, immediately go north to join our army." ”

"At the same time, Lin Feng led 10,000 elite infantry soldiers to secretly block the upper reaches of Fenshui, turning Pingyang's moat into a dry ditch."

"Ordered Meng Bai to serve as the commander of the 50,000 cavalry of the new army, immediately drove out from the Taolin Heights, marched at night and by day, and suddenly inserted between the 30,000 Korean troops outside Pingyang City and Pingyang, launched a fierce attack, and defeated the 30,000 Korean troops outside the city in one fell swoop."

"Ordered 20,000 heavily armored infantry soldiers to go north, led by Zi Che Heng, to guard the three main roads outside Pingyang City, and snipe the 40,000 infantry cavalry army that may come to the rescue from the surrounding fortresses."

……

Speaking of this, Emperor Hu Hai of Qin looked at him like a torch, glanced at the major commanders around him, and said: "I personally commanded the main army of 20,000, and Baili Shou was the deputy general to attack Pingyang from the top of Mount Tai in the east. ”

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

In order to avoid confusion and poor military orders, Hu Hai did not wait for the army to approach Pingyang before giving orders, but issued a large battle order as soon as the army sent a letter to Guguan.

This was done by Emperor Hu Hai of Qin. The 50,000 cavalry of the new army and the 20,000 defenders who went out to fight were still not out of the Taolin Heights.

Emperor Hu Hai of Qin had made a detailed investigation, and he knew that it would take three days for the army to arrive in Pingyang, and in order to avoid leaking the news, the Qin army had to go out day and night.

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

At first, Emperor Hu Hai of Qin did not want to attack Pingyang in one fell swoop. Because Pingyang is the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty, there are 50,000 troops inside and out, and reinforcements can be sent at any time.

But there is a cloud in the art of war: surprise and attack unprepared. The first time the Qin army went east, attacking Pingyang was the best choice, and the same art of war also said - soldiers, treacherous ways!

Attacking Pingyang was of great benefit to the Qin army. As long as Pingyang is attacked, it is equivalent to Hedong County returning to Qin. At that time, even if the people of the world oppose it, it will not be able to stop the edge of the Great Qin Empire.

After thinking about it, Emperor Hu Hai of Qin was absolutely desperate and sent troops to attack Pingyang.

The Qin army rose day and night, advancing along the avenue towards Pingyang. On the occasion of departure, Emperor Hu Hai of Qin ordered: All people encountered along the way should be killed, regardless of men, women, and children!

This was an extremely cruel military order, because all the way north, the Qin army not only killed countless passers-by, but also annihilated one or three caravans.

……

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

With his eyes like a torch, Hu Hai resolutely ordered, "Kill the hunter, and the army will detour——"

Along the way, the caravans and passers-by encountered will not be able to kill them. Now he is encountering a village, and Hu Hai can't do the ruthlessness of slaughtering the village.

Hearing this, the Chinese army Sima showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, he looked at Hu Hai, and said, "Your Majesty, due to the negligence of the scout camp, the hunters and his party of eight people only killed five. ”

"After interrogation, I learned that there are eight people in the group, and I am afraid that the fish that slipped through the net at this time have returned to the village!"

The words of Sima of the Chinese army shocked Hu Hai's heart. There is a fish that has 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 20,000. Once the traces are exposed, it will be a huge disaster, and even this time the eastward exit will be in vain.

At this moment, Hu Hai's heart was very entangled. Conscience and interests stood at both ends of the scale, which made Hu Hai suffer in his heart. The killing on the battlefield is understandable.

But the slaughter of the village and the slaughter of the city made him uneasy. Intellectually he knew that he must slaughter the whole village to prevent the news of the army from coming out, but emotionally Hu Hai couldn't accept it.

The education of later generations had a great impact at this moment, and in the final analysis, the education that Hu Hai received was the patriotic education of later generations, and killing was even more taboo.

He is far from being mad enough to slaughter the village!

At this moment, his eyes finally fell on Emperor Hu Hai of Qin. Because Hu Hai's decision is related to whether the traces of the army are leaked, and whether the army has a role in going out day and night these days.

The thought flickered in his heart, and Hu Hai was silent for a while. Reason and conscience are like two villains, fighting in Hu Hai's body.

……

"Hoo ......"

A quarter of an hour later, Hu Hai let out a long breath and gave a resolute order, saying: "Mihe, immediately lead the front army into storage, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”
