Chapter 10 Bloodless Soldiers
After the caravan entered the port, the person in charge of the caravan quietly came to the cabin and knocked on the door, he knocked on the door very rhythmically, two short and one long, three times in a row, at this time Han Xin's voice came: "Come in." ”
After entering the cabin, the captain knelt down on one knee and said, "General, we have come to the port of Marina City from Yuliang Town, whether we will directly occupy the port next or what should we do, please give the general an order." ”
Han Xin was silent for a while and then said: "Don't be in a hurry to occupy the port first, you first let people unload the goods, and say, herald brothers, tonight's third watch, start to do it, we have to blow up all the ships in this coastal city first, by the way, tell the brothers not to blow them all up at once, blow up half of them first, and wait for my order." ”
The captain was ordered to go down to arrange, and Han Xin asked someone to bring food, and after he was full of wine and food, he had a beautiful sleep, this time Han Xin slept very soundly, and was woken up by his entourage when he was on the second watch, and Han Xin woke up and asked: "What time is it now?" ”
The attendant said: "It's already two watches, and it will be three watches in a while." ”
Han Xin got up from the bed and said, "Gather the brothers, you can start acting." After saying that, Han Xin got off the boat and came to the warehouse at the dock, and the others also entered the warehouse one after another, and after a while, the warehouse was crowded with about 2,000 people.
Han Xin stood on the high platform and said: "The time has come for the brothers to make contributions, now I order, the whole army is divided into a team of ten people, each team is responsible for two ships, these are explosives, your task is to secretly install these explosives on more than four hundred boats in the port, wait for my order, but I order, you will detonate all the ships, okay, you don't need to answer, hurry up and prepare." ”
After all the soldiers went out, Han Xin said to the guards beside him: "You will arrange the remaining thirty or so ships, all of them are loaded with explosives, and then wait for my orders to act." ”
The captain of the personal guard immediately took half of the personal guards down to make arrangements, leaving half to protect Han Xin's safety.
After giving the order, Han Xin hurriedly took the remaining guards to a square on the dock, this square was originally used for fishing boats to dry goods, at this time the square was densely packed with people, black and pressing, after Han Xin came in, everyone just knelt down on one knee and did not speak, it was obvious that this was ordered in advance.
Han Xin nodded with satisfaction, and after motioning for everyone to get up, he said: "Brothers, the plan has begun, now you all have sharpened the knives on your bodies for me, and when I give the order, we will immediately occupy the dock, remember, you must not destroy everything on the dock at will, let alone set it on fire, you can arrange the rest yourself, as long as it is not too excessive, General Ben should not see it, but if someone takes what I say as air, then I will make him regret being born in this world, okay Now wait quietly for me." ”
Although these people have been transformed into puppet people, Han Xin can still see from their unstable core that they are not stable at this time, and the core is flickering and dimming, which proves that their hearts are very excited at this time, Han Xin smiled slightly, he knows what kind of things these soldiers will do then, but, does it matter? These soldiers have been lonely for more than two thousand years, and it is good to be able to make them feel some emotions now, as for what kind of losses those people in Marina City will have, what does it matter to him Han Xin.
Don't underestimate these puppet soldiers, although they have been transformed into agency people, but their hearts and minds are still there, they have been silent for two thousand years, they have been suppressed for two thousand years, they have long felt hopeless about the lonely life, if it weren't for Qin Lu and Meng Tian suppressing, they would have erupted a long time ago, and now Han Xin ordered that as long as they don't destroy the dock and can't set fires, they don't care about the rest, then it means that they will have many ways to vent the loneliness in their hearts.
Once humanity is released, it is a very terrifying thing, killing, robbery, torture, these negative emotions are all ways to vent, as long as it can be proved that they are still alive, not cold people, these soldiers will do it.
After Han Xin's order was issued, the deputy captain of the personal guard beside him said worriedly: "General, if... What if these soldiers go too far? ”
Han Xin knew what the deputy captain meant, and smiled slightly: "Then what does it matter?" These soldiers have been suppressed for too long, and if they don't vent, something will happen sooner or later, don't worry, Your Majesty won't say anything if he knows. ”
Although Han Xin was laughing, the vice captain's heart trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to look directly at Han Xin's smile, in his opinion, Han Xin's smile made him shudder.
Soon, a personal guard came to Han Xin's side and said, "General, let's get ready together." ”
Han Xin nodded and said, "Okay, then let's start, pass the order, and order all the team leaders to detonate the ship." ”
The guard hurriedly went down to give the order, and after a while, the sound of "boom, boom, boom...", the dock suddenly burst into flames, Han Xin stood on the high platform and watched the ships in the harbor explode one by one, sinking to the bottom of the sea, the flames soared into the sky, and suddenly smiled slightly, and the explosion woke everyone up.
The guards of the port hurriedly rushed to the port, but when they came to the port, all the ships had been blown up, and they were slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea in the raging fire.
At this time, the guard's personal guard said to him: "General, look, there are still more than thirty ships that have not been destroyed. ”
The guard looked in the direction pointed by the guard, only to see more than 30 ships drifting alone in the harbor, in this blazing port is so eye-catching, the guard's eyes suddenly burst into starlight and said: "Quick, quick, quick, everyone give me board, the thieves must still be on those ships, everyone give me on, I must catch these thieves, quick." After saying that, he rushed over first.
When the defenders saw that the generals had rushed over, they all followed, and soon the army of 20,000 men rushed to the thirty or so ships.
Han Xin saw the defenders rushing towards the more than thirty big ships, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he ordered: "Pass my order, and when those defenders are on the ship, they will be detonated, and I will take this port without blood." ”
The deputy captain of the personal guard hurriedly went down to give the order, and it was very soon, but after the two soldiers got on the boat, the captain of the personal guard hurriedly ordered the detonation, and suddenly the explosion of "boom, boom...", and all 20,000 defenders were killed, and no one survived.
Seeing that more than thirty ships had all sunk to the bottom of the sea, Han Xin pulled out the long sword on his waist and said: "Soldiers, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, occupy the port with me, and then join General Meng Tian, rush." ”
Han Xin stepped on his horse and rushed to the barracks of the port defenders, but when Han Xin came to the garrison barracks, there were only a few foot soldiers left, and they were quickly wiped out by Han Xin, and were killed by the Qin army in an extremely cruel way, and did not even give the opportunity to surrender.
Then Han Xin entered the city, the soldiers were more like a pack of hungry wolves, biting people when they saw them, many soldiers rushed into the houses to rob the property, killing those who dared to resist, after one night, the whole port, the number of people was reduced by more than three floors, until dawn Han Xin ordered all the soldiers to return to the camp.
When the news reached the hands of the First Emperor, it was already the evening of the second day, the First Emperor looked at the military newspaper in his hand, both happy and sad, he knew that Han Xin did the right thing, and also knew that Han Xin was doing this to kill the loneliness in the hearts of the soldiers, but this kind of approach, the First Emperor still did not support it, after all, these people will be the people of Great Qin in the future, and Han Xin's actions are really hurtful.
The First Emperor handed the battle report in his hand to Meng Tian and said, "What do you think about this matter?" ”
Meng Tian replied: "Han Xin is worthy of being a soldier immortal, this battle is enough to prove that what the history books say is true, then the matter of robbing the wealth of civilians is actually not irreparable, as long as His Majesty takes the coastal city, the relaxation of the policy on the port side, it should not be a big problem, but such a thing cannot happen again in the future, it is easy to destroy, but it is too difficult to build, fortunately, Han Xin still knows the importance and does not indulge the soldiers to kill innocents indiscriminately, otherwise what we receive at this time is that the port side has become a dead city." ”
The First Emperor nodded and said: "Well, then deal with it like this, all the staff will be demoted by one level, the military merits will be counted according to the calculation, impartial, and at the same time, the order will be passed on, such a thing will never be allowed to happen again in the future, if the order is violated, it will be dealt with according to military law." ”
Meng Tian bowed and said, "Hey, I respectfully follow Your Majesty's decree, and the ministers will pass on the order when they arrive." ”
The First Emperor nodded and said: "The next thing is Marina City, now that the port has been taken by us, the next thing is to attack the front and rear, and order Han Xin to march into Marina City, and tomorrow he will join the army and attack Marina City before and after." ”
Meng Tian hurriedly went down to give the order, and soon the letter was delivered to Han Xin by the trap bird, after reading the letter in his hand, Han Xin hurriedly came to the map, looked at the map in front of him Han Xin thought for a while and said, "How many explosives do we still have in our hands?" ”
The captain of the guard hurriedly said: "Back to the general, we still have more than two dozen explosives bags left in our hands. ”
Han Xin pointed to the map and said: "You rush to Binhai City as fast as possible, Binghai City and the port are blocked by a low wall less than ten canes high, not three meters to install two explosive packs for me, you must arrive as quickly as possible, Binhai City has not received the news from the port side yet, we can catch him off guard." ”
The captain of the personal guard hurriedly set off with more than 20 people with more than 20 explosives bags, and each of them switched back and forth with three war horses, and rushed to Binhai City as fast as possible.
Immediately after that, Han Xin hurriedly wrote down his thoughts on the paper and asked the bird to take it to the First Emperor, and he hurried to the Chinese army's big tent, mobilized 10,000 troops, left 1,000 people to guard the port, and took the rest of the men and horses to the coastal city.
And here, after receiving Han Xin's reply, Meng Tian also hurriedly ordered the Chinese army to gather, and he hurried to the first emperor's tent, at this time the sun had set the last ray of light, and the coastal city was shrouded in darkness, as if foreshadowing the next fate of the coastal city.
