"General! Why are you massacring the Yue people here?"
Zhang Han couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the Yue village that was devoured by the raging fire, the land stained red with blood, and the corpses scattered everywhere.
The Qin army never massacred a city, let alone wielded its weapons against unarmed people.
Because of their inner pride, they are not allowed to do this!
The Xuanjia Legion, which has been victorious in every battle, disdains this!
But today, Tu Sui actually set such a bad precedent.
Even though the Baiyue tribes were uncivilized barbarians, after the Qin army captured this large area of land, they should be the unarmed people of Qin!
How can you wield a butcher's knife against them?
Tu Sui had a standard military appearance of the Qin Dynasty.
The square face with Chinese character is very majestic, and the thick mustache is even more majestic.
In his deep eyes, the flames burning in the village danced, and he said lightly:
"This battle is extremely dangerous, you should know that.
After all, the Baiyue clan has different intentions from us.
Now that the decisive battle is imminent, if these Yue people are allowed to stand behind our army.
What if they are bewitched by the Vietnamese army and attack our food route?"
Zhang Han wanted to say something else, but Han Xin grabbed him and dragged him back.
Zhang Han plunged his sword into the muddy water and sat under the tree, sulking.
Han Xin sighed:
"Boss Qin said that there must be sacrifices in war. It is a cruel thing in itself."
Zhang Han took a long breath and said with depression in his heart:
"I know, but... I, the Qin Army, have never done this before wielding a butcher's knife at ordinary people!"
Han Xin shook his head:
"Boss Qin also said that people who are not of my race must have different minds!"
Zhang Han looked at the young man in front of him, somewhat dumbfounded.
He is really a loyal believer of Boss Qin, and he remembers these words exactly.
"Then you mean that anyone who is not a descendant of Yan and Huang will die?"
Han Xin shook his head:
"Boss Qin said, anyone who wears my clothes, speaks my words, eats my food, and performs my courtesy is the descendant of Yan and Huang, the people of China!"
Zhang Han couldn't help but look solemn.
Han Xin smashed his mouth and said:
"As expected of Boss Qin, it feels so good to say this!
It feels really good to show off!”
Zhang Han immediately couldn't laugh or cry, but what he said did make sense, and it also reflected the tolerance of Chinese civilization.
No matter where you are from, as long as you learn from me and be like me, you are one of your own.
Zhang Han thought for a while and asked:
"What do you think of this battle?"
Han Xin shook his head:
"It doesn't look good, I'm too anxious.
The environment in the south is too dangerous, and food and grass are unsustainable.
Once the grain road is attacked, I'm afraid the army will be in chaos.
Moreover, these Yue people are like monkeys and never fight head-on.
He crawled into the woods and blew poisonous arrows, causing heavy casualties to our army."
Zhang Han nodded and said solemnly:
"Yes, although our army occupied a large area of land, it did not actually engage in a decisive battle with the Vietnamese army.
The 50,000-strong army they mentioned was never damaged from beginning to end.
They just kept sending out small groups of troops to sneak into the woods for sneak attacks.
Even so, our army has suffered more than 5,000 casualties.
If we really force our way through Yuecheng Ridge, we might encounter an ambush..."
But what Zhang Han didn't expect was that Han Xin's bright eyes were full of strange excitement.
He murmured:
"I'm afraid? I'm afraid it will be a big defeat!
But why can’t it be an opportunity for us?
The Yue people don’t want a decisive battle, so why can’t we fake it and lure them out for a decisive battle?”
Zhang Han was startled and lost his voice:
"What you mean is that the army will be truly defeated, and then the Vietnamese will believe it and pursue our army with the main force.
Then our army can have a decisive battle with it?"
Han Xin nodded heavily:
"Yes! Only in this way can this war be ended quickly!"
Zhang Han looked at him as if he were a madman:
"Are you crazy? The army is defeated, trampling on each other, and cannot be restrained at all!
When the time comes, a rout will be a rout, and I’m afraid you and I will also die in the chaos!
You must understand that the defeated army cannot be restrained!"
Han Xin was so excited that he almost trembled. He lowered his voice and said hoarsely:
"But I can! The ten thousand soldiers and horses under my command will carry out orders and prohibitions!
As long as you put it to death, you can survive!"
Zhang Han punched Han Xin on the shoulder and cursed:
"You brat! You're so young, I didn't expect you to be so dangerous!
If Boss Qin finds out, I'll have to whip you!
Just think about this. The 100,000-strong Chinese army camp was composed of the children of Guanzhong. How could it be defeated by the Yue people?
Let’s go! The army has been assembled!”
After saying that, Zhang Han left.
Han Xin stood alone, looking up at the still rainy sky that refused to clear up, and murmured:
"Won't one hundred thousand Guanzhong disciples be defeated? Soldiers are crafty.
Everything is possible!”
Even if the weather is bad, the Chinese army camp moves extremely quickly.
After all, one hundred thousand Guanzhong disciples are veterans of hundreds of battles.
No matter how difficult the war against Vietnam was, they were advancing with great success and their morale was not diminished.
Three days later, the army was ready.
As the captain of the transportation brigade, Jing Ju prepared the dry food for the army in a short period of time.
As for how he oppressed the people of Chu, that's not important.
After all, it was him who the people hated. Jing Ju didn't care, so why should the others be worried?
The commander-in-chief, Lieutenant Tu Sui, stood on the high platform and promised all the soldiers that this battle would be the end!
Defeat Xiou, destroy the Baiyue Alliance, and then you can go home!
For a time, morale was greatly boosted and the voice was loud!
Ten thousand soldiers and horses led by Han Xin were assigned to protect the Chinese army camp.
The mighty army of 100,000 troops began to march southward along the rugged dirt road.
The rain is still pouring down, and it keeps falling.
The consequence was that the strong crossbow strings that the Qin army relied on became damp and could not be used.
Moreover, the soldiers could not wear heavy iron armor. The heat forced them to wear light armor or even no armor at all.
But the morale of the team is still high. The word "go home" is really very attractive to the Chinese people who have been fighting abroad for a year.
Three days later, Yuecheng Ridge was in sight.
Looking at this steep mountain, Han Xin couldn't help but frown.
He subconsciously looked around at the dense woods and shrubs as tall as a man, and he always felt something was wrong.
However, the forward troops replied and after searching around to explore the route, no one found an ambush.
Moreover, 10,000 forward captains have passed through safely.
Tu Sui was riding on a war horse, still wearing armor and had not taken off his armor.
He quietly looked at the steep Yuecheng Ridge, as if passing through it, he saw the Xiou tribe.
Victory is close at hand!
"Send the order, the Chinese army camp must quickly pass through Yuecheng Ridge!"
"promise!"
Han Zhixian looked up at the rustling trees and murmured:
