Before the evacuation, the Qin did not leave any prisoners.

It's not a "revenge for the dead" outrage killing, this idea may come up when you are still fighting, but after the fight, it is gone. Their comrades died at the hands of the Chu people, but more Chu people also died at their own hands, and this account cannot be calculated.

Killing prisoners is out of the habit of the Qin army all along, out of safety considerations, and also because of everyone's desire for beheading. Including the military judge Qiu Xiao, no one raised objections, only that Qin Mo Chengshang stood up and objected a few words.

"The Chu people didn't kill the Qin prisoners, why did the Qin people kill the Chu prisoners? Killing prisoners is ominous......"

This person was afraid that it was the first time to follow Qin Jun abroad, and everyone looked at him with strange eyes.

"Soldiers need first-class credit."

Li You, who was lying in the car, replied as a matter of course.

Cheng Shang's eyes widened: "First merit...... There have already been quite a few beheadings to capture the flag, isn't that enough? Besides, they have laid down their arms, so what if they do? Didn't you say that the Qin army didn't kill innocents indiscriminately? ”

Zhai Chong on the side said: "Innocent is relative to the unarmed common people, and those who have raised swords and soldiers against us are not among the 'innocent'. Besides, if we let them go, someone will definitely reveal our whereabouts. If it's a weekday, forget it, now we are still in a predicament, and the Chu people don't know when they will send troops to pursue, and they must not be merciful! ”

Cheng Shang was still a little unacceptable, since he couldn't persuade him from the point of view, he could only persuade from the emotional point of view: "Li Duwei, you used to be a native of Shangcai Chu, a hundred generals of Heifu, and you are from Nanjun." Nanjun and Huaibei are both Western Chu, although you and others belong to two countries, but the language is the same, the customs are similar, these Chu prisoners, but also you and other township party, why can't they love each other, but to be evil, they must be killed and then quickly? ”

Li You's face was suddenly unhappy, Heifu knew that Qin Mo had stabbed Lou Zi, although Li You used his hometown to win over the Nanjun soldiers, but he was very taboo for others to say that he was from Chu.

So Heifu smiled: "Mr. Cheng, don't be entangled in the truth, for us, Wang Yuxingshi, cultivate my spear halberd, just act on orders, there is no choice." Now that Qin Chu has started a war, before the end of this war, the soldiers on both sides will be undying enemies (chou), loving the enemy like their own robes? This kind of love and non-aggression of the Mo family cannot be imitated. Besides, since the Mo Scholar still adheres to the concept of both love and non-attack, why do you want to help Qin attack Chu? ”

Cheng Shang's face was a little gray, and he muttered, "Because Qin Mo has figured out a truth...... Only when the world is fixed in one can war be eliminated, and only then can we achieve both love and non-aggression, and the world will be in harmony...... We just want to speed up the process of reunification, I didn't expect it...... ：”

"I didn't expect that the war was so cruel, the Chu people's resistance was so fierce, and the Qin State still lost the battle?"

Heifu shook his head, idealists are always naïve, but Qin Mo is already a more realistic and rational faction among this group of idealists.

Cheng Shang bowed: "In this way, I don't know when the war in the world will end completely, and how many people will die." If we continue to kill like this, won't Qin and Chu become more and more hostile, and the hatred will become deeper and deeper, which seems to be completely different from our original intention. ”

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, he looked ashamedly at the hundreds of Chu soldiers squatting in the distance, turned back and walked towards the city, and sighed: "I'll continue to make stretchers." ”

Although the chariots and horses left behind by the Chu people were captured, sometimes, they might have to abandon the chariots and walk into the wilderness and forests, and the wounded who could not walk had to be carried by hand. So Heifu drew a sketch, asked Cheng Shang to look for materials in the city, and took the soldiers to help make a batch of common stretchers in later generations, so that there was no need to remove the door panel to carry people.

After Cheng Shang left, Heifu asked Li You again, but Li Duwei still did not change his mind.

So with the order of the soldiers, the killing began. Everything was in order, first forcing the Chu people to take off their armor, and then, the Qin people stepped forward silently, indifferently raised the crossbow machine, and followed by people with swords to mend their swords......

Only a moment later, the last screams came to an abrupt end, and more than a hundred corpses were found on the ground, and the military judge made a stroke of the pen and recorded the number of people beheaded.

Looking at this scene, Heifu could only sigh: "Cheng Shang is right, the chain of hatred between Qin and Chu is a little tighter."

Heifu turned his back, looked at the soldiers and chariots who came out of the city one after another, Dou Ran, who was also thrown on the car, and looked at the Chu prisoners who were slaughtered, his eyes were red, only the two Chu military officials who were still useful survived, and they would be taken back to Qin with Dou Ran as trophies.

Tu Si and Man came over to report: "Fake five hundred lords, the people in the city have come out, plus the dry food captured from the Chu army, they are all five days of food!" ”

"Good." Heifu ordered Zhai Chong, Tu Si and others: "Let everyone change their clothes into the red armor of the Chu people, hide the flag, and play the banner of the Chu people!" ”

This is also the reason why Li You wants to exterminate the Chu people, because they have to disguise themselves.

Dou Ran's mouth was very hard, and he couldn't ask anything, and the other two Chu soldiers couldn't say clearly, only that a general was leading a large army to storm Pingyu. There are only 3,000 Qin soldiers in Pingyu, and I am afraid that it will not be able to hold it for long, and the Chu people may have all been killed outside Xincai City at present......

The worst plan is that Xincai will also be occupied by the Chu people, and the Heifu and their men will have to cross the Rushui to the southwest, walk another two or three hundred miles in the area controlled by the Chu army, pass through the entire Huaixi region, and reach the boundary of Nanyang County to be safe.

Heifu has no idea of opening up a base behind enemy lines, and these people are definitely crossing the street in Chudi, and everyone shouts and beats them. In the direction of Shangcai and Yangcheng, in the battle of more than 100,000 people, these hundreds of remnants of their soldiers should not join in the fun, and it is important to hurry up.

While everyone was busy stripping the Chu people of their clothes, Heifu took his descendants who had completed the costume change and stood by the big pit that originally detained the prisoners of the Qin State......

They were going to say their final goodbyes to the dead robes.

……

There were only 70 people left in the original neat 100 people, many of whom were wounded, or wrapped in their ears or hanging their arms, and the remaining 20 or so had been sacrificed in the battle and buried under their feet.

The corpses of the Chu people were thrown outside, horizontally and vertically, while the corpses of the Qin people were carried to the pit and displayed neatly, and the Chu captives were forced to shovel the soil and refill the place.

More than 100 dead people shared a grave, and there were no tombstones, only dozens of broken swords neatly inserted in the soil. The sword of the locust wood is also there, located in the very center, and the silk silk tied to the ring of the hilt flutters gently in the wind......

Liham sighed: "When I was born, my parents gave me names, but after I died, I became nameless." Not even a tombstone. ”

"Who said there is no name?" Heifu asked rhetorically.

"I can't name the other hundred deceased, but as long as they are under my command, no matter their name or nationality, I remember them clearly!"

Because they are the soldiers of the Black Husband.

Hefu even remembered how the young faces looked and what they said when he wrote letters to them.

"Zheng, you greeted your sick parents in a letter at home, apologized for not returning for a year, and told the bride to take good care of the second elder."

"Slow, you complained in your letter that life in the barracks was too boring."

"Dove, you have repeatedly worried about whether the field house of the knighthood will be implemented."

"Father Chao, you look forward to the first meal you will eat when you return home."

"Que, you ask the sisters in the family to help you greet the person you like, and worry about whether she is married to someone else."

"Zhongliu, you promise that you will go back during the Layue sacrifice, take the reward, and shine in the township."

Standing here, listening to the wind, Heifu seemed to hear those chattering but simple words again, echoing in his ears.

Among them is the sound of locust wood.

Heifu still remembered that Huaimu's expression was still a little awkward at first, as if it was more difficult to write a letter to his family than to take the city first, but he couldn't hold it back when he said it, and this warrior as strong as iron said warm words in his mouth.

Huaimu said with concern, his wife washed his clothes in winter, did he freeze his hands again? He also told her not to go too far to chop wood, and to watch out for wild beasts, and at the same time asked his wife to scrape together the family's money and send it to her two younger brothers, who were serving as vassals, if they were still not free...... In the end, Huaimu said that his wife would do his best, and Huaimu would return, and he would never break his word......"

As Heifu read the contents of the deceased's letters to his family one by one, among the people behind him, Dongmen Leopard raised his head high, this fearless, reckless man who was proud of shedding blood and ashamed of tears, was trying to keep the tears in his eyes and not to fall.

The rest of the dozens of people also looked solemn, and some even began to sobbed softly.

After a year and a half of military life, everyone has become brothers who are not brothers, and they have missed their hands and sisters.

Ji Ying came over at this time, and said with red eyes: "Bai General, when you didn't come, Huai Mu said that his last wish was to be buried in Jingling and buried on the hill, if he couldn't do it, he could be buried back in Nanjun." ”

The bird flies against his hometown, and the fox will die on the first hill...... This seems to be Qu Yuan's poem, right? But regardless of the Qin people and the Chu people, it is everyone's simplest wish when they die.

Heifu nodded, he squatted down, picked up a handful of soil, and apologized to Huaimu and these robes lying on the ground: "We are leaving, and we can't take you home with us too late, so we can only leave us in this foreign land." ”

"But I'm not going to break my word! I said that if I want to take you home, there will be no one missing! Life or death! ”

Heifu looked at the tombstone composed of dozens of broken swords and swore: "Although the battle has stopped, the war is not over yet, and the king will not give up until the fall of the Chu State." Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers! I will regroup, return here, and plant this city and this land with the Qin flag! At that time, 100 coffins will be used to move the corpses of you back to your hometown! ”

"Second and third sons, leave it at that!"

"This is Heifu's last military order for you, as a hundred generals!"

The earth was silent, and neither were the graves, only the remnant sword stood in the north wind, like a warrior who was still alive even though it was dead, and the whining that shook slightly was like a final answer to the black man......

"No!"
