Chapter 244 Are You Worth It?

As they spoke, the two sides had reached the stage of close combat.

However, there is a wall between the two sides as a barrier.

With the help of shields, the soldiers in the shield array directly piled prepared grease and dry fire starters under the wooden piles.

Bursts of black smoke suddenly rose, and the shield array took two steps back.

Use spears and bows to prevent the Chu troops in the camp from approaching and put out the fire.

It is far from possible to burn down the wall with just this kind of fire.

The wooden piles were thigh-thick and were newly felled trees. Although the outside looked dry enough, the inside was still wet.

The fire only burns the dry outer parts, and then burns some of the burnt parts, giving the entire wooden pile a round of slimming down to facilitate subsequent impact.

"Hit the wood!" Seeing that the fire in front was almost done, Han Xin continued to give the order.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers carried the wooden logs that had just been prepared and rushed forward quickly relying on the cover of their shields.

If there is enough time, the crash car with greater impact will naturally be used.

You don't even need to light a fire, just go ahead and get started.

But Han Xin didn't have time to create a crash, so he could only use the most basic wood bump to solve the problem.

A few pieces of wood that are strong enough are built into a crash platform, with the crash log hung below. Once it reaches the place, it is fixed, and the same rocking and impact method as a crash car is used to hit the burned wooden piles.

Soon, several huge holes were opened in the originally strong wall.

Five holes about seven meters wide and one meter high appeared on the wall of the village.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers who had been prepared immediately rushed forward with some soldiers.

Relying on the cover of the shield array in front, they quickly approached the village wall, then got in through this small gap, and firmly defended the place.

Large troops followed closely.

Although the place that can be passed is not large, it is simply impossible to imagine tens of thousands of people passing through.

However, the Han army gradually stabilized the breakthrough through these loopholes. As more and more soldiers came over, the soldiers who came later no longer had to worry about being attacked by bows and arrows.

At the same time, a commotion suddenly broke out in the military camp.

Immediately afterwards, the gate of the camp was opened.

Han Xin smiled slightly and immediately ordered the troops to quickly enter through the gate.

If I guessed correctly, it was Shan's companions who took action.

Although this time is a bit late and the significance is not too great, being able to let the soldiers in quickly through the main gate still reduces some pressure on them.

The wall of the stronghold was broken, and thousands of Han troops poured in, but the Chu army was unable to drive them out.

The gate of the village was opened from the inside again, and more Han troops came in. The Chu troops were instantly confused.

Some people advocate fighting without retreating, while others advocate escaping through another door.

However, these were meaningless. When the Chu troops who were planning to leave through the back door found that there were Han troops all around, they had no choice but to put down their weapons and choose to surrender.

They seemed to have no other choice but to surrender.

Standing in the Chu army's camp, I looked at the Chu soldiers who had laid down their weapons.

Han Xin sighed helplessly.

This is not the situation I want to see...

"The Han army is unstoppable, and the general uses his troops like a god. We are defeated today, and we are heartily convinced. We are willing to take our subordinates and families to the general's tent..." Wu Yi stood in front of Han Xin, speaking humbly with a hint of arrogance.

"Whether or not to surrender is your business, but whether to take people with you or not is not your decision!" Han Xin said directly.

"General, what does this mean..." Wu Yi and others were a little confused.

Han Xin glanced at the crowd and said, "How can the Han army use the rules of the Chu army?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they understood what Han Xin meant.

In other words, you can surrender, but if you want to fight with your subordinates, that is impossible.

When you arrive at the Han army, you must follow the rules of the Han army.

And what are the rules of the Han army?

To sum it up simply, it can be summarized in eight words.

The soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers!

Don't misunderstand, this does not mean that the generals and soldiers do not know each other when marching and fighting.

Rather, it means that before the troops go on an expedition, the soldiers do not know which general will lead them, and the generals do not know which troops they will lead on the expedition.

The only troops he knows are the general's own soldiers.

These are taken with the generals to protect their safety and assist in the management of the army when necessary.

In a certain sense, the general's personal soldiers can be regarded as the private soldiers given to you by the country.

Because from another level, the troops must obey the commands of the emperor and the king, while the soldiers must obey the dual commands of the emperor, the king, and the generals.

"General, this is the land of Chu. It will be more convenient for the general to act according to the rules of Chu for the time being." Wu Yi and others said reluctantly.

"Do you think that without your help, this general will be unable to move forward in Chu?" Han Xin said disdainfully.

According to the original idea, this battle was to be fought fiercely.

Han Xin didn't care how many prisoners he could receive, he didn't lack manpower now.

The most lacking thing is weapons.

Therefore, it is also within Han Xin's goal to temper his troops through this battle and kill more Chu troops at the same time.

However, the intensity of the fighting did not reach the level expected, and the Chu army was not united enough. They actually chose to surrender directly after the camp was broken.

Now, he has to use his soldiers as capital to exchange for his position of power.

"General, that's not what we meant. I hope General..."

Han Xin waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Wu Yi's words, and said bluntly: "There is no need to say more. When you enter the Han camp, you must abide by the rules of the Han. You are not from a wealthy family like the Xiang family, nor are you a prince, or even a county."

The land cannot be guaranteed, but with hundreds or thousands of people under your command, you dare to negotiate terms with the Han State?"

"General, we are not negotiating terms with the Han State, we just want to act in accordance with the general's rules..." Wu Yi quickly explained.

"Follow my general's rules?" Han Xin sneered. He was well aware of his opponent's thoughts.

When the fight doesn't start, continue to be domineering. When the fight starts and you find that you can't beat them, then surrender.

Anyway, this is the general trend of the world. The Chu State has already nervously assembled its main force and is almost going to fight the Han army with all its strength.

To put it bluntly, Han Xin is right, they are those people who can't even keep their word in the county, so they are left here alone to delay the strategic pace of the Han army.

If the battle is won, the main credit lies on the decisive battlefield. If the battle is lost, it may be that the people responsible for delaying the battle did not complete the task, which led to the failure of the decisive battle.

To put it simply, they are the abandoned little powerful people.

How could Han Xin lower his attitude towards these little people?

"Previously, I was just following the king's orders and doing special things. Is it still necessary now? Now there are only two choices before you, abide by the rules of the Han Kingdom, or come and try the swords and guns of the Han Kingdom.
