Nearly 5,000 soldiers had already been disarmed at this time, like countless ants densely packed on the streets, waiting for the ruler to slaughter. The tradition of the Lin family army was to send them to remote places to work until they died, and none of them could walk out of the mountains intact.

At this time, Lin Ji's tempting proposal obviously surprised everyone.

"As long as we don't go to the mountains, it's okay. "Obviously, the captured men did not know the true intentions of the expeditionary force.

But Lin Ji didn't care about this.

"So let's make a very simple game. Lin Ji pointed to the city gate that was about five hundred zhang away from him, and said playfully: "The first hundred people who rushed through that city gate can live." The others will be buried with the male. ”

"What...... You...... Are you going to slaughter the pawns?" the reckless soldiers, who had already thrown away their weapons, turned back in disbelief after hearing this only condition that they could live.

Even if he was cold-blooded as blue sky, he was taken aback by Lin Ji's sudden decision. Cold sweat instantly spread all over his forehead.

"Shizi ......" Bi Kongqing hurriedly stepped forward to say something, but Lin Ji directly stretched out his hand to stop him. There was no intention for him to continue.

Even if he is as fierce as Lin Jinrong, he has never immediately killed the surrendered soldiers, and even if he used various excuses to clean up the surrendered enemy in the end, there are no moral problems and accusations.

"Slaughter pawns?" Lin Ji looked at the small soldiers who looked at him with fearful eyes, and there was a hint of contempt in his tone.

"After all, there are still a hundred people who can survive. It's already good. Lin Ji subconsciously looked at the north, his eyes were a little dim, and he said, "After all, you still have a choice." ”

"If anyone objects, I can kill him first. Lin Ji's tone instantly became extremely cold, and with a wave of his hand, the archers of the Lin family's army, who had already climbed the city wall, had already stood up, pulled their longbows full, and aimed them at the soldiers who had no blades.

The soldiers finally fell silent, and they no longer asked any questions, for they finally realized that the person standing behind them was not a soldier, or at best a demon.

And he fell into the hands of this demon who is not a soldier, what is the point of resisting.

"Now that everyone agrees with this decision, let's start the game. ”

Arrows burst into the sky.

The frightened crowd was stunned for a moment, and watched the soldiers in front of them take off their bows from their backs, and then suddenly woke up. The soldiers, almost all wounded, rose in fear at the same time, and stumbled towards the open gates.

Lin Ji turned his head and didn't look at the scene he could already imagine in his mind next, and his fair face still showed a trace of unbearability.

Canghai City has been on the border of Han Mang for decades, and the Lin family army also has the same long history, but such a large-scale massacre of soldiers is still unprecedented. It's a pity that this is the war, for the Canghai City Expeditionary Force, entering the Great Mang, it means that they are all enemies in front and behind, there is no supply line, there is a little tolerance for any soldier, there will inevitably be a series of resistance, casualties to a certain extent, the entire expeditionary force will definitely die without a place to be buried.

This truth, although Lin Ji didn't say it, but the veterans who went out with the army all understood this, they were a lone army, a lone army without any assistance, so.

There are many things that are not based on personal feelings, and at this point, all morality no longer exists, and the only thing that makes the expeditionary force exists is two words: "revenge".

"Shoot!" the brief command squeezed out of Bi Kongqing's mouth with a sigh.

The brown arrows in the soldier's hands rained down, and there was no place to dodge on the narrow street, and there was no defense on the body of the soldier, and the brown afterimage instantly solidified, and then the iron tip came out from the chest, and blood flowed out.

The slower soldiers became the first to die on the way to escape.

Blood instantly stained the long street.

Crowd after crowd collapsed in tears, wailing out a dying wail.

After all, the iron-clad men were still afraid of death, and many of them shed tears, like a sharp steel knife hanging above their heads, not knowing when it would fall.

The short bluestone pavement has become a temple of the Grim Reaper.

With the south gate of Shiling Pass as the dividing point, those who walked out of the city gate walked out of the sky, and those who failed to get out of the city gate fell forever in the blood wave and lost their heartbeat.

Finally, the rain of arrows beside the hundred soldiers who had exhausted all their strength and rushed out of the southern city gate finally disappeared.

Fortunately, he was a good talker, and most of them had lost all their strength, squatting on the ground and panting loudly, and even worse, they were already convulsing and retching.

The smell of blood wafting from the city finally blew out with the breeze, and it seemed to cover the entire grassland with a layer of blood red.

Thinking that they had escaped, they didn't dare to look back at the hell city they had just escaped, but each slapped their chests happily.

"How does it feel to be alive?" the creepy voice rang in the ears of a hundred people again.

Those who were happy just now finally fell into despair again.

The man in white ignored their reactions and said calmly: "Remember, tell all the cities that wherever my expeditionary force passes, those who surrender survive, and those who resist slaughter all the defenders, and only a hundred people in each city can leave alive." ”

Their breathing was very rapid, and after making sure that Lin Ji had no intention of repenting, they finally let go of all their tense spirits, but for some reason, their bodies couldn't help but tremble, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't stop.

This is a fear from the heart.

Each of them remembered the last words of the conqueror.

"Isn't it too cruel for you to do that? Yi Hanlan appeared behind Lin Ji at some point, standing side by side with him, looking at the backs that were gradually moving away. Turned into a mass and scattered in different directions.

"Not really. Only by doing this can we live, and I can only protect myself at best. Lin Ji didn't think so, although his face was not good-looking, but he still said stiffly.

"Then why let a hundred people go?"

"I want to use their mouths to tell the rest of the reckless people that surrender can live, but if you die, you can only die. Lin Ji said affirmatively, without a trace of hesitation.

"You still can't bear it. Yi Hanlan looked at the seemingly cold-blooded young man beside him, but was actually helpless, and smiled.

"I'm scared if the master will blame me. Anyway, I killed too many people. "Lin Jixiang is a child who has done something wrong, and after mentioning the old man on Youxian Mountain, he became cramped.

"If you think it's right at the right time, do it. I think this must be what the old gentleman wants to say to you. "This is encouragement from Yi Hanlan.

The late winter wind was a little softer, especially in the south, where the temperature was not very low, and the gentle wind seemed to have the smell of spring, but this spring seemed to have some smell of blood.

"With me, you should have learned a lot, right?" Lin Ji suddenly returned to the rogue state he had when he first met Yi Hanlan, and asked jokingly because he felt the slight changes in her mood.

"Yes, for example, how to kill people shamelessly, and then give the name of righteous Ling Ran. Yi Hanlan's figure had already fallen to the top of the city in a flash, Lin Ji looked at the beautiful back and smiled to himself.

Sending the dying soldiers to the point of no return, and then busily transporting the grain out of the warehouse in bags, the first thing the expeditionary force did after defeating the guards of Shiling Pass was not to rest, but to replenish the dry food they had already consumed.

The expeditionary force did not carry any weight, so if they wanted to have food, they had to grab it in the land of Damang.

The reckless cavalrymen were accustomed to robbing people of their property and food on the borders of the Han Dynasty, and it seemed that it was time to repay them.
