Chapter 820: No Forgiveness for Killing
At this moment, the Huainan soldiers staying on the bank of the Huai River are particularly helpless, the main general has run away, these soldiers are leaderless, facing the Sima army that is several times their own, they have no hope of victory at all.
And behind him is the wide Huai River, fighting against the water, this is definitely a desperate battle, not anyone can be Han Xin, let alone the Huainan army that is now scattered.
Surrender seemed to have become the only hope for the survival of these Huainan troops, and many began to throw away their weapons, raised their hands, and were no longer ready to resist.
According to the normal battlefield order, for these troops who are not ready to resist, the army in the general attack will not be killed, but Sun Li has received instructions from Sima Yi in advance, and the first battle of Zhunnan must be fought crisply, resolutely, and must completely annihilate the enemy, so as to show the momentum of Sima Jun's army, so as to deter the rebels in Huainan.
Therefore, Sima Jun turned a blind eye to the surrender requests of these Huainan soldiers, and rows of random arrows were about to pass by, no matter whether they were ready to surrender or not, they would all be killed!
The Huainan soldiers, who were originally trying to avoid death by surrendering, completely collapsed this time, and this is the rhythm of forcing them to death!
Many Huainan soldiers who threw away their weapons were forced to pick up their weapons again, but after recovering their weapons, did they have the ability to fight?
The answer is, of course, no, if the current Huainan Army still had the strength to fight, they would not have taken the initiative to throw their weapons just now, and now they found that Sima Jun had no intention of accepting the surrender of troops at all, so they were forced to fight again.
However, it makes people deeply doubt that in the face of a strong enemy, there is no difference between having weapons and not having weapons, and in any case, resistance is death, and failure to resist is also death, and what they are facing is a dead end after all.
Under Sun Li's command, Sima Jun advanced in an orderly manner, like a sophisticated and cold-blooded machine, crushing all the way, and the originally white snow was completely dyed red at this moment.
The Huainan army was defeated and retreated, not because they didn't want to resist, but because they were unable to resist, and the layers of oppression of the Sima army made them have less and less foothold, and they were gradually compressed to the only remaining narrow strip of land by the ferry.
At this moment, those ferries have sailed to the center of the river, and the whip is beyond their reach, according to the current situation, even if these ferries reach the south bank, it is impossible to return again, so these Huainan soldiers who remain on the north bank of the Huai River have been disposed of as outcasts.
Sun Li continued to order Sima Jun to move forward, he was expressionless, cold-blooded and cruel, maybe this is the cruel nature of war, Sima Yi asked Sun Li to use iron-blooded means to suppress these people who dared to participate in the rebellion in the battle of Ping'a, since they dared to follow Wang Ling to participate in the rebellion, then they had to pay the price of blood, otherwise if they wanted to rebel, they would surrender if they couldn't rebel, wouldn't the price of the rebellion be too low, and it would not play a role in deterring others.
Of the remaining more than 2,000 people, Sun Li didn't plan to let go of one, since they had their backs to the Huai River, he simply drove them all into the Huai River to feed the fish and shrimp of the Huai River.
In desperation, someone shouted, "Let's swim through the water!" Then, several people took the initiative to jump into the Huai River.
The icy and biting water is clearly chilling, and this is not a good time to swim, even many good swimmers are afraid to take on such a challenge.
What's more, most of the people in the Huainan army are landlubbers from all over the north, and they don't know water at all.
But it was impossible not to jump, and the Sima army continued to advance, and the position of the Huainan army became more and more narrow, and finally they had to go into the water, because there was no place for them on the shore.
Sun Li completed the task, he stood on the bank, looking at the Huainan soldiers struggling to survive in the river, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, this is the price of rebellion.
Although there is no shortage of winter swimmers in winter, there are only a few people with such perseverance and courage, so the people who can swim across the Huai River to escape at this time are few after all, and most of the people who fall into the water struggle helplessly in the river, and soon they sank, and when they floated again, they were already a dead body.
The entire surface of the Huai River was full of floating corpses, which rushed downstream with the flow of the river.
Yang Hong fled to the south bank, this is a little frightened, just now there were two ferries sailing to the center of the river, was overturned by the turbulent river, the whole boat was not spared, all fell into the water and died.
The main reason for this is that the ferry is overloaded, so many people crowd the entire cabin, and the whole boat is wobbly, and it is inevitable that it will capsize when it encounters a rapid.
The surrounding ferries did not have any rescue action for the people who fell into the water, because none of the ferries crossing the river were not overloaded, and now they themselves are difficult to protect, who would dare to rescue the people who fell into the water? If Dora gets on the ship, it means that the ship may also be destroyed.
When a catastrophe comes, it is difficult to protect oneself, who will take care of others.
After arriving at the shore, Yang Hong counted the number of people, and only five or six hundred people were left who escaped the Huai River, six thousand defenders, ninety percent of whom were killed or drowned, and suffered heavy losses.
Unable to mourn the deceased, Yang Hong led the remnants of this army to rush to Shouchun, Ping'a's loss made Shouchun no longer have a barrier available, I believe that Sima Yi's army will soon cross the Huai River and approach Shouchun, Yang Hong must quickly pass on the news to Wang Ling no matter what, so that he can prepare and plan early.
After taking Ping'a and annihilating the defenders, Sima Jun did not seem to be satisfied with the current results, in fact, the battle of Ping'a was just an appetizer before a meal, Sima Yi's goal was naturally Shouchun, an important town in Huainan, where the rebel Wang Ling was hiding, only by breaking Shouchun and eliminating Wang Ling could this rebellion be truly quelled.
Sun Li barely rested, and after expelling all the Ping'a defenders into the Huai River, Sun Li immediately threw himself into the construction of the pontoon bridge.
If you want to let the 200,000 people of Sima's army cross the Huai River as quickly as possible, it is impossible to use ferries, unless you can find a sufficient number of boats, for the Wei army, which has insufficient naval army, it is simply impossible to make up so many boats, so building a pontoon bridge has become the most ideal tool for crossing the river.
Nowadays, the construction of pontoon bridges is made of ready-made materials, and the technology is quite mature, which can be completed in a very short time. ... Friends who read books, you can search for "Blue Chinese Network", you can find this site as soon as possible.
