Chapter 310: Huaishui Slaughters Good and Evil
Two days later, on the edge of Huaishui.
More than 3,000 Beifu soldiers and tiger troops were in phalanx, with a big shield in front, a long lance like a forest, and foot archers followed closely behind, standing upright on this field with an indomitable momentum.
And more than two hundred steps in front of them were more than a thousand Qin soldiers who were already panicked, although they were dressed in leather armor and holding weapons in their hands, but from the panicked eyes of these soldiers, there was no desire to fight.
Behind them, the surging Huai water rolled by, and on the rushing water, there were bodies floating that had been soaked and swollen, and as far as the eye could see, the broken places of the three pontoon bridges were emitting black smoke, and anyone could see at a glance that the retreat of these remnants of the Qin army no longer existed!
Liu Yu was heavily armoured, standing in the first row behind the big shield, a smile was hooked at the corner of his mouth, and he said loudly: "Brothers, are you thirsty? ”
Tan Yizhi stood in front of the garrison next to Liu Yu, and he laughed: "I just drank water, how can I be thirsty?" ”
Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "We have just drunk water, but it seems that these Qin troops on the opposite side have escaped so far and are quite thirsty, you see, their lips are chapped, it is not easy for people to come from afar, everyone said, for these northern guests, should they be well entertained?" ”
All the sergeants laughed, and Liu Jingxuan said loudly: "Let them drink our Huai water well, and they will not dare to offend my Dajin again in the next life!" ”
Liu Yu's eyes flashed with murder, and he said in a deep voice: "Brothers, line up and drive the enemy down the river!" ”
All the sergeants shouted violently, and the military formation, which had not moved like a mountain just now, slowly moved forward and pressed towards the Qin army on the opposite side from three directions.
These Qin troops also looked like some stragglers, and they didn't even have any strength, and they couldn't see any command, and the popularity of an officer-like person was shouting in a hurry: "Release the arrows, release the arrows!" ”
More than two hundred arrows were shot out of the array of the Qin army, and they were weak, hitting the shields of the Beifu army's formation, and they couldn't even insert the wooden shields, so they fell one after another, and in response, there were two waves of arrow rain in the array of the Beifu army, densely packed, like dark clouds flying towards the dense crowd on the opposite side, many Qin soldiers tried to raise their shields to resist, but the people around them were so crowded that it was difficult to lift the shield above their heads, the arrow rain swept over, a large number of soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and the wounded rolled in pools of blood, And these screams deprived the living of the last bit of courage to resist.
Dozens of people did not believe in evil, took off their armor, turned around and jumped into the boiling water, a big wave hit, and soon these people disappeared. The rest of the men threw away their weapons, took off their armor, fell to their knees, prostrated themselves on the ground, and cried out: "I will surrender!" ”
Liu Yu's brows stretched, he smiled slightly, took off his mask, and was about to speak, but Liu Gaozhi's cold voice came from behind him: "Jingxuan, you know what to do!" ”
The corners of Liu Jingxuan's mouth hooked, and with a wave of his hand, the tiger soldiers of the two squares behind him rushed out from behind the shield and walked in front of the captives, as everyone else did at this time, each of them untied a long piece of hemp from his waist and tied up the captives in groups of ten, and soon, the remaining nearly a thousand captives were tied up in a string and sat by the river.
Liu Yu walked to Liu Gaozhi's side, smiling, and was about to salute and report, but he saw Liu Gaozhi's purple face, a murderous opportunity, he waved his hand, Liu Jingxuan in the distance raised a big knife, and with a single wave, the heads of the two captives in front of him were separated from their necks and fell in a pool of blood.
The hundreds of soldiers who followed him were also like this, and the captives sitting on the ground were immediately cut down by six or seven hundred, and the rest of them all jumped up, crying and crying for mercy, and a few tough guys desperately tried to resist, but their hands were tied, and how could they still be used, and soon, these people were killed by the tiger sergeants like wolves and tigers, chopping melons and vegetables, and the blood flowing out of the severed head was like a stream of blood, which merged into the rushing Huai Shui, and the angry waves sent out by the water hitting the shore, Just like the last angry cry of the dead, there was a deathly silence on the battlefield.
Liu Yu gritted his teeth, it happened too suddenly, and it was Liu Gaozhi who personally ordered it, which made him too late to stop it, he said in a deep voice to Liu Gaozhi: "General, our military discipline has clear regulations, you can't kill prisoners, why do you want to ............"
Liu Gaozhi said coldly: "Liu Yu, on the first day you entered the Tiger Army, you should know that you can only carry out the orders of your boss, and you must not disobey them!" ”
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, as a subordinate, you should obey the general's order, but this order itself is not in line with military law, so the subordinate dares to ask, why did the general give such an order?" ”
Liu Jiaoyi pointed to the corpses floating in the river and said calmly: "You say, where did these corpses come from?" Was it a Qin soldier who threw himself into the water and died? ”
Liu Yu was slightly stunned, and then shook his head: "If the head is gone, it can't be thrown into the river, it should be the corpse of the enemy killed in battle, and it fell into the river." When he said this, he suddenly found that many of the corpses were tied together with ropes like the captives just now, and many of them were still tied with their hands, and he immediately realized that these people, like the captives just now, were slaughtered after being taken prisoner.
Liu Gaozhi sneered: "See, other troops have disposed of prisoners like this." This time we fought too fast and too smoothly, the enemy general Peng Chao and Ju Yan almost fled on horse, throwing down the army, and after the 60,000 Qin army lost its command, it broke up overnight, we didn't have time to catch it, rushed to the river, just these thousands of prisoners, it was useless to bring them back, kill them on the spot, and they could also be used as the first class to report their merits, as a general, if you don't behead your subordinates, how can you be worthy of your own soldiers? ”
Speaking of this, Liu Gaozhi said in a deep voice: "The whole army is disbanded, go up to the leader, first come, first served!" ”
His order was quickly conveyed, and the various formations that had not moved like a mountain just now immediately dispersed, and thousands of soldiers rushed to the riverside to pick up the heads on the ground, for fear that they would not have their share if they were too late, and that the enthusiasm could not even be compared to the daily meal.
Liu Yu silently watched these sergeants run over at a speed of 100 meters and shook his head: "Since ancient times, it has been ominous to kill and surrender, don't you let the soldiers get benefits if you don't do this?" ”
