Chapter 812: To Kill or Not to Kill?
Langri Zampu ordered people to move away from the mountain pass boulders and kill in the direction of the camp, but at this moment, a rapid horse knocked on the earth, like a frightened bird, Langri Zampu looked around, but saw that the person who came was actually the banner of their Tibetan people, led by his eldest son Dazan Gampo, and Meng Zhong, who was wounded in the army.
When Datzen Gampo saw Langri Zampu, his face suddenly showed a relieved smile, and he shouted, "Father, we have saved you. ”
In the surprise of everyone, Langri Zampu was furious and said like thunder: "Why are you here? Who asked you to come? ”
Dazan Gampo was a little confused, and said with a confused face: "Just now someone said that my father was trapped, please come to the rescue, I asked General Geer to bring 3,000 people to guard the camp, and everyone else brought it." ”
"Boom"
As if he had been hit hard, he only felt dizzy and shouted, "Quick, go back to the camp." ”
Yang Tong blocked the exit to death, they were the first people to escape, even if there were still routs, it was impossible for anyone to be earlier than them, this was clearly a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
Dazan Gampo, a foolish thing, actually left only 3,000 people to the half-dead Lu Dongzan to guard the camp, isn't this a large camp with hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep in vain to the Sui army?
The army rushed back and came to the outside of the camp, but when they saw that it was pitch black in front of the camp, Dazan Gampo stepped forward and said, "Zampu has returned to the camp, and he has not opened the camp gate yet." ”
"Hahahaha... Do you dare to come in? ”
Suddenly there was a heroic laugh in front of the camp, and countless torches fought as if they had received orders, illuminating the camp gate as bright as day. I saw a young general standing in the open space in front of the camp with a neat group of men and horses, and the leader was Pei Xingyan.
"Shoot the arrows!"
With Pei Xingyan's order, the honeycomb crossbow that had already been prepared was shot out in an instant, and the dense crossbow arrows formed a network of arrows, shooting towards the coalition soldiers like a storm, and the iron arrows fell in a parabola, and the heavy iron made it produce a powerful impact force that penetrated the leather armor of the coalition army, and the overwhelming crossbow arrows caused a large number of cavalry to be shot, and the coalition soldiers screamed and fell off their horses.
The first round of crossbows had a great effect, and the two-mile-long impact was littered with tumbling cavalry.
One round of crossbow bolts was fired, and the second round was fired in a storm.
Dazan Gampo, who rushed to the front to call the battalion, was lucky enough to avoid the first round of shooting, but he didn't have time to retreat, only to see the cold light flashing in front of him, several crossbow arrows had arrived in front of him, he couldn't hide, and screamed in despair, dozens of crossbow arrows hit the people and horses at the same time, and died on the spot.
Then several rounds of crossbow bolts were fired,
This undoubtedly caused the coalition soldiers to encounter the most fatal blow, and the little resistance they had was also completely destroyed, and they turned around and retreated, and the army collided with each other in a mess.
"Woo woo woo woo ......" The huge horn sounded suddenly, and a dense elite cavalry committed suicide on both sides of the barracks.
Pei Xingyan also killed the front head-on, the three roads of men and horses killed the heads of the coalition soldiers, the blood flowed like a river, the torches lit the bonfire, and the raging fire went straight to the sky, reflecting the night sky.
The three Sui armies cooperated tacitly, outflanking the coalition soldiers who had long lost their fighting spirit in a "concave" shape, forcing the soldiers led by Langri Zampu to retreat step by step.
"Yang Tong?"
Looking at Yang Tong, who was in the lead and standing proudly, Langri Zampu only felt a wave of depression rushing into the sky, letting out a heart-rending roar, and a mouthful of blood spurted out wildly.
The frightened bird-like coalition soldiers fled here, only to see that the nest had been overrun, and the remaining morale was beaten by a storm of crossbows.
"Soldiers, kill Yang Tong, and we will win." Langri Zampu relieved himself, and saw that his soldiers were driven to Yang Tong's side like cattle and sheep, and resolutely ordered.
"Mo knife, cut them to complete despair!" Seeing the stubborn enemy army coming, Yang Tong had a cold smile on his face.
The horn sounded, and the Modao army marched towards the enemy step by step, every step was as dignified as a mountain, and the snowy sharp blades were dense like a forest, and this powerful Modao array made the enemy feel deeply frightened.
Lang Ri Zampu's face was pale, when he was fighting against the Sui army outside the pass, he had seen the power of this devil's army, and when he faced this powerful army again, he was flustered and didn't know how to deal with it.
In the face of the enemy cavalry who launched a desperate charge, the Modao soldiers were indifferent to the long blade slashing, only killing the enemy's head and flying, the torso was torn apart, and the corpses on the ground were piled up layer by layer, like the bloodiest hell, and the horse's legs and heads could be seen everywhere, which was unbearable.
The Modao Army advanced like a wall, compressing the enemy's living space step by step, like the Grim Reaper wielding a sickle to cut the grass, sweeping everything and destroying all the enemies in front of it.
More and more soldiers were either killed or were so frightened by this devil's army that they fell to their knees and asked to surrender, and fewer and fewer people were able to stick to Langri Zamp's side.
"God don't bless me!" Lang Ri Zamp looked up at the sky in despair, raised his arms and sighed.
"That's a must!"
Pei Xingyan stepped forward, one by one, cleaned up Langri Zampu's personal guards, and pulled Langri Zampu and Murong Xiaojun off the horse with one pole, and saw a Han man standing on the side like a chicken, thought about it, and pulled a lance into his face, and then asked people to tie them up.
"Deliver an order to tie up all the captives and take them into custody for the time being, and dispose of them again tomorrow. Tonight, I'm going to treat the whole army. Seeing that Pei Xingyan had caught the king of Ertu, Yang Tong laughed loudly.
"Long live the saint!" When this order spread throughout the army, the officers and men of the Sui army thundered with joy and shouted long live.
Yang Tong asked Wang Xiongdan to be in charge of guarding the military camp, leading tens of thousands of soldiers to celebrate here, and he and Pei Xingyan and others led a group back to Jishi Pass.
The gate of Jishi Gate was wide open, and Shui Tianji, Du Ruhui, Li Shimo and others went out of the city to greet them.
It's just a few days away.
Reunited in one place.
……
Back at the gate, everyone watched the steady stream of captives being escorted back.
Li Shimo turned his head to look at Yang Tong and said in a deep voice: "Holy Lord, there are too many of these captives, if they are put in one place, they will definitely become a scourge, and the end will be ......."
Although there is an ominous saying about killing prisoners in ancient times, it is not superstition, but it is afraid that the future enemy soldiers and civilians will hate the enemy and resist stubbornly, bringing unnecessary losses to themselves, so they treat the prisoners well, and the manpower is priceless, so the general generals are not like Bai Qi and Xiang Yu.
Whether to kill prisoners or not is also considered by the generals according to the actual situation, if they are sure to control the prisoners of war, they will not kill prisoners; If you can't control it, and there are strong enemies outside, in order to avoid being joined by the enemy, killing prisoners is undoubtedly a very effective method. In fact, Bai Qi's situation at that time was that there were more prisoners than his soldiers, and if the prisoners rebelled, his army probably couldn't suppress it, so it was better to do it once and for all!
Li Shimo's hatred of these bastards is certainly one reason, but it is mainly considered from the overall situation.
After all, the war has come to an end, Yang Tong will definitely lead the first army to return to the dynasty next, and the defenders of Heyuan can't take care of the nearly sixty or seventy thousand prisoners captured before and after, these prisoners are all warriors, and the shepherds who were sold to the Great Sui as slaves are completely different.
To kill or not to kill?
When Yang Tong saw the blood-stained monk robe of Xuanzang who was being watched by a group of Shura guards, he made a decision in his heart.
