After Liu Juntao's discussion with everyone, it was not until two days later that the various units of the Tiance Army began to act.

The more than 60,000 captives in the camp were first divided into seven teams, each with less than 10,000 people, and were settled in various camps by the officers and soldiers of the Tiance Army.

This move made the hearts of the more than 60,000 Tatar prisoners fluctuate, and many people were secretly discussing, all rumors were rumored that the Tiance army would kill the prisoners, and for a while, the prisoner camps of the large battalions everywhere were in turmoil, and the officers and soldiers of the Tiance army also strengthened their vigilance when they saw this, and sent additional troops around the prisoner camps everywhere.

In the space of a few days, the atmosphere in the camp of the Tiance Army became tense, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Tiance Army and more than 60,000 Tatar prisoners secretly confronted each other, and everyone understood that once something happened, a large-scale conflict would occur.

At this time, the flood waters in the Yuma River basin have basically receded, and there are muddy wastelands everywhere, and many human and animal corpses can be seen everywhere.

In addition, the weather has become hotter and hotter at this time, and if the army continues to stay here, there is a high probability that there will be an outbreak of plague in the army.

So Liu Juntao ordered the army to prepare to pull out the camp and march north, towards the Tatar Khan.

However, before that, Liu Juntao still had to deal with the more than 60,000 Tatar prisoners in the army first, otherwise there would be an incident sooner or later.

As soon as Liu Juntao gave the order, the generals of the Tiance Army personally led their troops to act, gathered all the prisoners who had been divided into seven teams, and gathered in the wilderness outside the Tiance Army.

As a result, all the Tatar prisoners were nervous, many of them were emotional, and even pushed each other with the soldiers of the Tiance Army who were guarding the prisoners, Yan Hu, the general who was supervising the army, did not hesitate when he saw this, and directly mobilized a thousand bird guns to step forward, and a row of guns rang out, and dozens of prisoners were shot at once, and those Tatar prisoners who were arrogant just now lost their temper in an instant.

"If there is any more troublemaker, it will be killed!"

After General Yan Hu gave the order, he turned around and left, and went to the Chinese army to wait for Liu Juntao's order.

The surrounding officers and men of the Eagle Yang Army were assigned additional men, and all the bird men on duty were equipped with bayonets and kept a close watch over the Tatar prisoners.

After the smoke of gunpowder, all the Tatar captives were silent, sitting quietly in place, these more than 60,000 Tatar captives gathered together, surrounded by the Eagle Yang Army, the Tiger Army, the Trap Army, and more than 50,000 soldiers of the three armies formed a huge circle, and all the more than 60,000 Tatar prisoners were surrounded inside.

Little by little, the time passed little by little, and soon it was noon, and the weather became hotter at this time, and the scorching sun sprinkled the heat to the fullest, and continued to scorch more than 60,000 Tatar captives.

At the same time, this wilderness has been completely submerged by the flood of the Yuma River, and the flood has just receded, and there is mud everywhere, and there are puddles and small ponds in many places, and then exposed to the scorching sun, all the water vapor has steamed, which makes people very uncomfortable.

After a long time, these more than 60,000 Tatar captives will be sweating profusely and panting, and once people have been steaming for a long time, they will feel tired and weak, and the water in their bodies will also evaporate faster!

Unlike these Tatar prisoners, the officers and men of the Eagle Yang Army, the Tiger Army, and the Trap Army, who were responsible for guarding the more than 60,000 Tatar prisoners, were very comfortable.

The officers and men of the Eagle Yang Army, the Tiger Army, and the Trap Army drank the cold water sent by the soldiers of the Zhichong Army and ate the meals prepared by the heavy soldiers, which was very comfortable, in sharp contrast to the more than 60,000 Tatar prisoners.

After an hour, all the more than 60,000 captives were complaining, and many of them could not bear it anymore and began to shout loudly.

These captives made a commotion in the blink of an eye, and the officers and men of the Eagle Yang Army, the Tiger Ben Army, and the Trap Army saw this.

Because of the previous lesson, these Tatar captives retreated one after another when they saw the soldiers of the Tiance Army coming forward, but they began to beg for water and food, but the soldiers of the Tiance Army did not react to this.

After another half hour, some of the captives had begun to faint, and the rest of the captives were also weak.

At this time, Liu Juntao, surrounded by the generals of various departments, led the officers and soldiers of the Longxiang army to arrive, and more than 60,000 Tatar captives suddenly rioted when they saw Liu Juntao's handsome banner, and they knew that their fate was about to be announced.

Liu Juntao rode his horse, looked at the dejected Tatar captives, sneered, and waved his hand to Yan Hu, the general next to him, Yan Hu immediately stepped forward and roared loudly: "Now my emperor's soldiers have completely annihilated the 400,000 iron cavalry army of the Tatar department, and the desert is already in the pocket of my emperor, and there are only two ways in front of you today: first, all of them will be killed here!" Second, serve our emperor's conquest! ”

There were already hundreds of soldiers with loud voices in front of them, ready to shout out Yan Hu's words one by one, and the more than 60,000 Tatar captives all heard it very clearly.

But no one responded, and the more than 60,000 captives were silent.

In the hearts of these Tatar captives, they can surrender to other tribes if they are defeated, and they can fight for other tribes, but such a large-scale campaign for the Ming State is unacceptable in the hearts of all Tatar captives.

This is the same as the surrender of the Tatars in the hearts of the Han people, it is all betrayal.

Liu Juntao had already expected the situation in front of him, and Yan Hu also looked at Liu Juntao, waiting for further orders.

Liu Juntao did not hesitate, and immediately nodded, and Yan Hu continued to roar: "Since you can't make up your mind, then General Ben will make this decision for you!" The soldiers of each department listened to the order: kill one out of five! ”

When the more than 60,000 captives heard it clearly, there was an uproar, and everyone didn't expect the Tiance Army to act like this.

When the Mongol army swept through all countries, they would carry out a strategy of killing one out of ten to the captives to deter the captives and think it was for their own use, they didn't expect that the Tiance army would also use this method, and it was even more five to kill one!

Immediately, many Tatar captives shouted loudly, willing to fight for the advance of the Tiance army, and even the most determined diehards began to waver at this time.

However, Liu Juntao said coldly: "Are you willing to surrender now?" Finished! Pass the order down and continue to implement the strategy of killing one in five! The loyalty of these captives must be watered with blood! ”

Zhang Yuqing, who was next to him, felt a little unbearable when he saw this, after all, he was not on the battlefield at this time, and the killing of prisoners was still a little unacceptable to Zhang Yuqing, a literati.

"Duxian, since those captives are already willing to be used by me, is this matter postponed for a while?"

Liu Juntao said: "These people are all Tartars, and their hearts will be different if they are not of my race!" Even if it is used by me, it is forced by the situation and will never be sincere, so Minister Zhang does not pay too much attention to it. It doesn't matter if these Tartars live or die, even if they are all killed here? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yuqing was also silent, after all, he was a Han Chinese, and he had no obsession with the life and death of these Tatar prisoners, but he just felt that it was ominous to kill the prisoners, since Liu Juntao had already said so, he would no longer advise.

At this time, under the deterrence of more than 20,000 Tiance Army Bird Men of various departments, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Tian Ce Army stepped forward with sharp blades in their hands, urging all the more than 60,000 prisoners to form a team.

Under the high pressure, the more than 60,000 Tatar captives took more than half an hour to line up, and everyone's faces were pale, and everyone's hearts were full of anxiety.

Yan Huce stepped forward immediately, walking in front of the captive queue very casually, letting his war horse walk forward, and after a while, the war horse stopped in front of a captive.

Seeing this, Yan Hu pointed at the prisoner with the war knife in his hand and said loudly: "Someone! Let's start with him! ”

After saying that, Yan Hu slashed down, and the captive fell in despair, and the captives around him were screaming again and again.

Immediately afterwards, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Tiance Army flocked to the city, starting from the captive to count one by one from west to east, killing one for every five people, in the continuous screams, some people in the captives kept falling, and the surrounding captives were shocked by tens of thousands of Tiance Army soldiers, and they did not dare to act rashly, they could only pray that they were not the unlucky ghosts who were killed.

An hour passed, and more than 10,000 of the more than 60,000 captives were killed, and blood flowed freely across the muddy wilderness, staining the original black-brown mud into a black-red color.

Before the remaining 50,000 Tatar captives could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard Yan Hu say loudly: "Now report all the leaders, nobles, and generals among you, and limit it to half an hour, otherwise you will continue to kill one of the five points!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the more than 50,000 Tatar captives exploded with a bang, and everyone began to search for the leaders, nobles, and generals around them, and pushed out all these high-ranking figures on weekdays.

At this time, Yan Hu returned to Liu Juntao to return to his life.

Liu Juntao looked coldly at the more than 50,000 Tatar captives, and then said to Yan Hu: "Okay, since these are willing to be used by the Ming Dynasty, then leave their lives for the time being and reorganize them within five days!" ”

"Order!"

"However, the lives of these people remained, but they were enemies of the Ming Dynasty before, but they can't go unpunished!"

"Please advise the Governor!"

"Chop off the thumb of their right hand of all of them as punishment!"
