The officers and commanders of the brigade headquarters whose command was handed over were all standing behind Zhao Hu obediently at this time, and the current rotation battle did not require them to be the brigade commanders at all, and the wing commanders below could naturally be responsible.

The commanders of the five brigades of the First Division looked at the battle situation in the distance in a comfortable mood, and from time to time they talked with their colleagues at the brigade headquarters to give their views. Only Li Haoran looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, but his colleagues in the brigade blocked him intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhao Hu, who noticed Li Haoran's strange appearance, couldn't help asking, "Lieutenant Colonel Li, do you have any proposals?" ”

Li Haoran stood up and saluted, and his colleagues could only retreat to the side with a bitter face, there was no way, they were all seen by the overseers, and what else could they block.

Li Haoran maintained a respectful demeanor and said, "Lord Overseer, my subordinates want to know, is it true that the last sentence of the surrender notice just now, the whole city will be destroyed after the city is broken?" ”

Hearing this, the officers of the five brigades of the First Division looked at Li Haoran suspiciously, while the officers of Li Haoran's brigade looked at Zhao Hu cautiously. As for Zhao Hu, he didn't take it seriously, nodded naturally and said, "It's true." ”

Li Haoran's body was shocked, he gritted his teeth, and then said loudly with a resolute face: "Lord Overseer, my subordinates implore your Excellency to change this order!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the brigade officers of the 1st Division were immediately in an uproar, what was this newcomer talking about?

Asking the Overseer to change orders?

Doesn't this idiot know that all big people do what they say, because this already involves the issue of prestige, so even the wrong orders must be implemented strongly.

Besides, this order is not wrong, since you refuse to surrender and plan to resist desperately, then you must have the consciousness of death, and anyway, there is a word in advance, and it is normal to kill all the resisters after breaking the city to make an example.

Zhao Hu was also stunned, and he asked a little strangely, "Is there anything wrong with this order?" ”

Seeing that except for the people on his side, everyone else, including Zhao Hu's beautiful female guard, looked puzzled, Li Haoran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He settled down and quickly continued: "Lord Overseer, there are hundreds of thousands of people in this city, isn't it too much to kill them all after the city is broken?" ”

When the officers, who had been talking a lot, heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they all laughed.

A brigade commander jumped out directly and said: "Lieutenant Colonel Li, you don't understand this, just now the Overseer has told the people in the city in advance how to keep their lives safe, since they have been given a choice, then they will have to bear the consequences of the choice." After the city is broken, the whole city is slaughtered, so that our future enemies will understand how to choose! ”

"But when we break the city, it is tantamount to victory, and it is not better to reduce them to slavery and servitude for us? Why do you have to kill them all? Li Haoran said anxiously.

He knows very well how strong Zhao Hu's army is now, I'm afraid it won't take a day to break the city, if Zhao Hu doesn't change his order at this time, hundreds of thousands of people in the city will become wild ghosts!

"Hey, I said Lieutenant Colonel Li, why are you so soft-hearted? Don't you know how many soldiers we killed in this siege? If we have to gnaw like this in the future, even if we have the strength of a legion, we don't want to quickly recover the entire coastal province!

"Now, as long as we kill everyone after the city is broken, the next time we attack the city, do you say that the people and officers and soldiers in the city will surrender or resist to the end? It's a great way to lighten our burden! Zhou Wen suddenly jumped out and said, he was very reluctant to Zhao Hu to change his order.

Zhou Wen didn't care about the life and death of the people in the city, what he cared about was that Zhao Hu's prestige could not be weakened, so he absolutely couldn't change the order!

Seeing that the officers of the other brigades, especially the beauty who was said to have a lot of power, all looked indifferent, Li Haoran's heart was cold for a while, he didn't expect the officers of Zhao Hujun to be so cold-blooded!

However, if he knew that Zhao Hu's army had already slaughtered many cities on the southeast peninsula that had resisted to the end, he would understand that it was normal for them to have such a mentality.

Although Li Haoran had no hope in his heart, he couldn't help but shout at Zhao Hu very sadly: "Lord Overseer! ”

At this moment, Li Haoran had already decided in his heart that if Zhao Hu kept the original order, then he would take the initiative to abandon his post and leave Zhao Hujun alone.

Although he was a little reluctant, he didn't dare to lead people to rebel, for fear that Zhao Hujun would be angry and slaughter his own city, so he could only choose not to serve Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu was silent, he felt as if he was too cold-blooded, because he had slaughtered the city in the Southeast Peninsula? Or is it because he doesn't treat the enemy's people as human beings?

Seeing that Zhao Hu was silent, Li Haoran shouted again, this is the last chance, if you haven't reacted yet, you can wait and leave.

Zhao Hu, who was woken up, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll change this order." ”

"Ahh Not the Lord (Lord Overseer)! Zhou Wen and those old ministers of Zhao Hu immediately changed their faces and dissuaded.

The newcomer on Li Haoran's side hurriedly complimented with a happy face: "Lord Overseer is wise!" These words made Zhou Wen and the others stare at them fiercely.

Zhao Hu waved his hand to stop the people who were likely to quarrel, and said with a little sigh: "Then let's do it, after the city is broken, all the enemy soldiers, regardless of the officers and soldiers, will be executed, since they will be soldiers against us, then they must have the consciousness of being killed."

"As for the people in the city, all men, women, and children were reduced to slavery, and their generation was not allowed to rise in rank for the rest of their lives, that is, they were slaves until death, but the offspring born after they became slaves were the same as other slaves, and they could be promoted in rank."

Hearing this, Zhou Wen and others, who understood Zhao Hu's temperament, were very reluctant to accept the order, and Li Haoran and the others originally wanted to dissuade them again, but they thought that the soldiers were the main force of resistance after all, and they had nothing to say if they were killed.

At least the hundreds of thousands of people in that city were always saved, and although they were slaves all their lives, their descendants could be promoted after all.

And besides, being a slave under the Overseer is no worse than being a slave under another warlord. After thinking about this, they also know that they can't go too far and not see that the other officers are eyeing them? And he followed the order.

Attacking the city is a very difficult job, even if it is equipped with hundreds of catapults, hundreds of arrow towers, hundreds of siege vehicles, elite veterans of a division and regiment, plus 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers, such an army has to attack a city with only 30,000 or 40,000 people defending, and the materials and defensive equipment have been consumed about the same, without throwing a lot of blood and lives, it is also very difficult to capture, after all, the geographical advantage is not so easy to eliminate.

It's just that today Zhao Hujun showed the world why there is no law of war, and Zhao Hujun, who had Zhao Hu's suppression of the formation, actually broke through the city in a short period of a few hours, making all those who paid attention to this battle stunned.

Not long after seeing that Zhao Hu's changed order came out, some soldiers reported that they had broken through the city and were now destroying the remnants of the enemy, and all the people in Li Haoran's brigade opened their mouths and were stupid.

Is there any mistake? It's only been a long time! After he was authorized, he commanded two brigades in addition to his own troops, but he fought like this for several days, and he didn't even stand firm for an hour, and now he broke through the city in a few hours?

It can't be a lie about the military, right? Could it be that with three more brigades and regiments, the combat effectiveness of the troops can quickly climb several levels, which is unreasonable!

It's just that when Li Haoran secretly noticed the faces of the officers of the other brigades and regiments of the First Division, he was stunned at first, and then extremely shocked!

Because Li Haoran found that the people of the First Division all took this for granted, and they all thought that it was normal to capture a city in a few hours!

From this point of view, the two brigades that let themselves command at the beginning did not give full play to their strength, and they were simply cooperating with themselves in training!

After learning this, Li Haoran looked at Zhao Hu with reverence, it was this young man who trained his troops to such an extent, which was really admirable!

Zhao Hu turned on his horse and went to the newly conquered city accompanied by all the officers.

Soon after Zhao Hu entered the city, Zhao Hu's army neatly pressed all the officers and soldiers who had been hunted and captured to the outside of the city to be executed collectively, and then moved all the remains of the officers and soldiers who defended the city to the wilderness outside the city gate that was the first to be breached.

Then, these corpses were built into a pyramid-shaped hill by layer of corpses and soil, and finally a large number of trees were planted on the hill to build the so-called "Wuwei", which is the "Jingguan" customarily called in the Far Eastern Mainland.

As for Zhao Hujun's behavior, Li Haoran did not dissuade them, but watched the completion of this Wuwei with great interest.

The reason why there is such a completely different mentality before and after is that this has been the habit of the mainland for a long time. The victorious side will use the corpse of the loser to build a pyramid-shaped hill to deter future generations, and because it is the product of showing off force, it is called Wuwei.

The pyramid, made of the remains of 40,000 or 50,000 people and earth, is huge, and the shadow of this earthen tower can be seen even in the city. Seeing this Wuwei buried with their relatives and friends, the people in the city immediately turned their eyes away, they are all slaves now, where is there time to feel the fate of others.
