Chapter 275: Captive

The army of the Eastern Departure Country, when the crystal cannon was suddenly bombed, had already been blown apart at the same time, because the crystal cannon was originally their reliance, with these extremely lethal weapons, they were full of confidence that they could crush the enemy army at once. But unexpectedly, they were attacked halfway, disrupting their position.

Subsequently, the enemy army also launched a full-scale attack, and the intensity of the offensive made their hearts tremble. All of a sudden, most of the Dongli soldiers thought that they had been completely defeated, and turned around and ran for their lives. The entire army of the Eastern Departure Kingdom suddenly showed a situation of collapse. Only a small number of them were just panicked and panicked, and the generals of the Dongli army even wanted to fight to the death, and wanted to reorganize this small group of soldiers to fight back, but they were frightened by the grenades thrown by the Xinghua Legion, and they forgot whether they still resisted, and they only remembered to flee for their lives immediately.

"Attack!" Yi Xingchen saw the defeat of the enemy army, immediately grasped the fighter plane, and ordered the Royal First Legion to attack to prevent problems with the Second Legion and defeat any organized Dongli Army.

In a short time, the entire battlefield was in a one-sided situation. Seeing that more than 10,000 people left the army without the slightest strength to resist, let alone the heart to resist the enemy, the soldiers only cared about scattering and fleeing for their lives, eager to run faster than their colleagues in the army. At this point, the Dongli Army no longer posed a threat to the Xinghua Army. More than a dozen soldiers of the Xinghua Army were able to easily capture hundreds of soldiers who left the army.

Yi Xingchen saw that the overall situation had been decided, and the rest of the finishing work naturally didn't need him, so he left the battlefield. Return to the makeshift camp.

An hour later. The officers sorted out the chaos on the battlefield. Gather together in the king's tent and report on the war.

In this battle, a total of 12 soldiers were killed and 38 soldiers were wounded. Yi Xingchen first asked about the casualties, and the officer in charge of statistics immediately stepped forward to report.

"Soldiers who died in battle, properly collect their bodies, bury them in the scenery, and send them back to China in the future. Establish an ancestral hall to worship. Wounded soldiers should be treated with all their might. Yi Xingchen replied.

Subsequently, Yi Xingchen asked the statistician again about the situation of the surrender army in the east.

"The legion took a total of three thousand five hundred and sixty-one soldiers of the Eastern Departure, of whom five hundred and sixty-one were wounded. On the battlefield, a total of 2,220 corpses of Dongli soldiers were found. About 3,000 soldiers fled from the East. May I ask Your Majesty, how to deal with the surrender?" the statistical officer continued.

Yi Xingchen thought about it seriously. These Dongli captives are quite numerous, and they really need to be properly handled. After all, it was impossible for the Xinghua Legion to disperse its forces to guard these prisoners. It is even more impossible to carry them with you. This will affect the mobility of the Xinghua Legion, which will not be conducive to the next battle that the Xinghua Legion will face.

"Your Majesty. We are in Nantu City, and there are still 350 soldiers in Nantu City, so it is better to hand over the prisoners to them. One of the officers stepped forward and proposed.

"No!" another officer immediately objected, "Wouldn't it be troublesome if Nantucheng released these prisoners?"

"Do we still need to be afraid of a group of captives? Even if they are given the opportunity to rearm again, what tricks can they make again?

"Okay!" Yi Xingchen saw that the officers were arguing, and the scene was starting to be a little uncontrollable, so he immediately spoke out to stop the argument between the officers. Seeing that Yi Xingchen's face was a little angry, the officers didn't dare to argue, and waited quietly for Yi Xingchen to give the order.

After a while, Yi Xingchen made up his mind and said to the officers: "Send the five hundred and sixty-one injured captives to Nantucheng, and in the name of the king of Xinghua Kingdom, ask the doctors of Nantucheng to treat them." As for the remaining 3,500 or so prisoners, they must be broken up and reorganized, and then divided into separate custodys. Give them only one meal a day, and if they can't die, they won't have the strength to rebel. It is also necessary to form a competitive atmosphere within them, and ask them to understand a very simple truth: those who perform well have something to eat, and those who perform badly have nothing to eat. Prisoners who resist must be executed without hesitation!"

Captives have no human rights, and if they surrender voluntarily and heartily, Xinghua can of course accept them with an open mind, but for those who are disobedient, they can only be executed.

Because the captives are the ones who were captured because of the defeat on the battlefield, it is not that they intended to surrender to the enemy, which means that they always have different intentions. This is very dangerous, and it is necessary to prevent them from backlashing. If they can't completely give up their original obsession, they can only cut off their lives, and only then can they cut off the possibility of inciting resistance in the army.

"In addition, the generals of the Eastern Departure Army, who are willing to accept the official position of Xinghua State and swear allegiance to Xinghua State, can continue to take it for their own use, and even for those who have enough battlefield experience, they can be assigned a certain amount of real power to let them lead the army; otherwise, those who are still stubborn and stubborn will be imprisoned in Nantucheng first. ”

Yi Xingchen did not miss any omissions, and ordered the different types of prisoners to be arranged one by one. Of course, he was not a king who completely rejected the advice of his subordinates. Any of his decisions, if most of his subordinates will oppose them, Yi Xingchen will also seriously think about whether there are any loopholes in his approach.

The battle of Nantucheng has been settled, and in the next step, after a short rest of the Xinghua Legion, Yi Xingchen will lead the Xinghua Legion back to Xilin City.

Outside Xilin City, the east is away from the army commander's tent.

At this time, Qi Hu, the marshal of the Dongli Army who was in the tent, exuded a strong aura of slaughter from all over his body. He was listening to his generals and strategists, analyzing the battle situation in Xilin City for him. Just listened more and more, Qi Hu's face became more and more ugly.

Originally, Qi Hu, who had returned from the Great Xia Kingdom and was in high spirits, was almost empty-eyed. The huge Great Xia Kingdom is not their opponent, and this victory will definitely make them even more famous when they leave the country, and Qi Hu himself will be rising step by step.

Qi Hu felt unprecedented confidence. Therefore, when he returned home and learned the news of the loss of Xilin City, he was almost unimpressed. Qi Hu didn't think that just this small country in the Western Regions could pose any threat to their departure from the country.

Therefore, in Qi Hu's view, the loss of Xilin City is not because of how powerful the military power of this small Xinghua Kingdom is, but because of the turmoil of the mob in Xilin City, which gave Xinghua Kingdom the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. (To be continued......)
