Chapter 226: Killing Prisoners on the Battlefield
When Lu Shi arrived with a spear brigade to reinforce him, the battle was already over, and what he saw was Guo Tianxing's triumphant black face and the sign lying on the ground
Looking back at the hellish Shura field-like battlefield by the river, Lu Shi couldn't help but retch, and whispered to Guo Tianxing, who wanted to report: "Why bother killing like this", but without waiting for Guo Tianxing to explain, he said again: "Okay, quickly organize people to bury these corpses."
Guo Tianxing swallowed his saliva, and then said loudly to Li Li, who was following him: "Go to those captives and choose some unconvinced companions who come out to bury the spittle."
Li Li immediately hit his horse, turned around, ran over Tianxing, grabbed him, and after walking a few steps with him, he whispered under his ear for a while, Li Li opened his mouth wide when he heard this, looked at Tianxing for a while, and then kept looking at Lu Shi
"What else do you want to see, don't do it," went up to the sky and star, and it was a horsewhip, and Li Li immediately hugged his head and ran away
Li Li summoned a group of brothers to jump off their horses, carry sabers and whips, and rush into the crowd in front of the pile of captives gathered in a group of hedgehogs
As soon as Li Li led people to rush into the crowd, he immediately caused a commotion, and Li Li ignored those who were cowering, and went up to those who resisted and scolded, and when he turned his eyes, forty or fifty unruly guys fell to the ground
Lu Shizheng was talking to Zhao Xing, and suddenly heard a scream from the group of prisoners, and hurriedly looked up, and saw that the saber was already flying, and there were dead and wounded
Lu Shi was stunned and raised his hand and shouted: "Li Li can't kill the prisoner if he stops"
But the matter was irreparable, but the eyes of the more than 3,000 captives who looked at Li Li and Guo Tianxing were full of fear, and the eyes that looked at this white-robed gentleman were full of gratitude
Lu Shi turned his head and stared at Guo Tianxing for a long time before gritting his teeth and said, "Did you just order?"
Guo Tianxing didn't quibble, and said with a smile: "It's my arrangement"
"Why don't you see that they are all poor people like us," Lu Shi asked sharply with trembling lips
When the captives heard this, they immediately shouted together: "Sir, help, we are all poor, we were all signed by the yamen, sir, save your life."
Guo Tianxing ignored the cries of the captives and begged for mercy, and said to Lu Shi very seriously: "They are indeed poor people, but as long as they resist us, they are our enemies", this is the first time that Guo Tianxing did not hesitate to contradict Lu Shi
That's right
"But they are now captives, they have laid down their weapons, they are no longer our enemies," Lu Shi glared at Guo Tianxing and argued loudly, this was the first time Lu Shi yelled at Guo Tianxing like this
"But just now he wanted to rebel against our conscription, then he is still our enemy, they have laid down their weapons, but they still have hands and feet, and teeth, as long as they use the language of teeth against us, they are enemies, we will kill him, at this very moment, I can't let there be an enemy around me, even a possible enemy"
Lu Shi was speechless
So the two of them looked at each other like cockfights for the first time, which made the thousands of Black Tiger troops present at a loss, which made the hearts of more than 3,000 captives worried
Finally, in Lu Shi's firm gaze, Guo Tianxing's eyes wandered, and he slowly shrunk his neck, and then turned his head to Li Li and said loudly: "You bastard, what are you doing, don't you hurry up and take someone to bury the body."
"Alas," Li immediately agreed and shouted at his brother beside him: "Hurry up and pick someone to bury the body"
So in a burst of pushing and shoving, three hundred men were selected, picked up tattered knives and guns, and began to bury the corpses, and with knives and guns in hand, those captives could no longer afford to resist at all, and worked honestly
It was difficult to bury thousands of corpses in the cold, so Li Li drove these captives on the Wuding River, carved out countless ice caves with knives and guns in his hands, and pushed those corpses and internal organs into the ice caves
Lu Shi was still there, panting for breath, like a child who made a mistake, smiling, licking his face, and diligently surrounding Lu Shi, constantly saying a word of gossip from east to west, and diverting Lu Shi's goal
At this time, Zhao Xing, who was following behind Lu Shi, opened his mouth and whispered to Lu Shi: "The military advisor dissipated his anger, in fact, this matter was done right by the Great Commander of the Heavenly Star."
Lu Shi glanced at Zhao Xing and didn't speak
Zhao Xing continued: "Judging from the whole process of the Great Commander's speech, every step of the Great Commander has been well thought out."
"Yes, yes, yes, it is far-sighted," Guo Tianxing hurriedly put gold on his face
"That's it," Lu Shi shook his head
"The first step of the commander of the military division is to give those signatories time to tidy up, this is not playing with children's temperament, this is to give the opponent an absolute blow in a dignified battle, such a victory makes the other party completely see our strength, and can no longer afford to resist the idea of three hundred against five thousand, or a dignified battle, anyone will be afraid, so that you are now inviting Suide's officers and troops out of the city, he will never dare to come out, so that our army will save a lot of trouble."
Lu Shi nodded, agreeing with Zhao Xing's analysis, but he only agreed with Zhao Xing's analysis, and definitely did not agree with Tianxing's blind work
In fact, this is a risk, this is bullying, signing Ding is in a hurry, there is no training, plus he is exhausted from running a long way, and he has caught signing Ding's lack of understanding of his own strength, blind self-confidence and blind contempt for the Black Tiger Army, in case people don't have these shortcomings, three hundred to five thousand, then the Black Tiger Guard is a god and the lower realm is a dead end
"And it is also of great significance to stop the rout soldiers in the place along the river and not bury the corpses in time."
"You can help him blow it," Lu Shi said angrily
"No, no, no, this is exactly a move with great meaning," Zhao Xing retorted to Lu Shi with a smile
"The tragic corpses in this place once again shocked those who surrendered, and let them see that our Black Tiger Army not only has a benevolent side, but also an iron-blooded side, as long as they dare to resist us, they will die without a place to be buried."
Lu Shi couldn't help but nodded
"This killing of prisoners is not only innocent, but also has great merit," Zhao Xing took the opportunity to say
"According to you, I'm going to reward our Grand Commander."
"Of course," said the star of the sky, kicking his nose and face
Lu Shi glanced at him, and Tianxing immediately shrunk his neck and smirked
"Military advisor, now we have so many prisoners, what should we do next, we can't let go, we can only be detained, once our brigade passes through these prisoners, those unruly guys take the opportunity to break out, then our losses will be great, so the commander ordered Li Li to cut those unruly guys in front of these prisoners, not only eliminated the hidden dangers, but also once again showed our thunder and heavenly might, once again shocked the prisoners, so that the only little resistance in their hearts was also extinguished by fear, then we really completely eliminated the hidden dangers, and the commander let those dishonest guys bury the corpses and once again let them feel the end of resisting us, this is really great wisdom, military division, this is an extraordinary period to be usedIt is a great merit to do extraordinary things."
Lu Shi was completely speechless, and then looked at the brothers around him, who were praised by Zhao Xing like this, and they all began to be impressed by this great commander, if it was really according to Zhao Xing's words, then Guo Tianxing really changed his appearance and made great progress, if this was the case, it would really be a great fortune for the Black Tiger Army
"Actually, sir, I still have an idea," Guo Tianxing stepped forward to explain
"What do you think?" Lu Shi began to pay attention to Tianxing's opinion
"I think these captives have taken them in and strengthened us"
This made Lu Shiyi frown, when is this the time of infinite crisis, at this time, you put these unstable elements by your side, once you start a large-scale battle with the official army, these unstable factors may fall into the army and never recover
Seeing Lu Shi's hesitation, Tianxing explained: "Actually, these guys are all good soldiers, as the old saying goes, Mizhi's mother-in-law and Suide's Han are the most capable of killing and fighting, this time I defeated him, it was really a fluke to recruit them, and it is definitely an enhancement to our strength."
"This idea is good," Zhao Xing was the first to echo
Guo Tianxing continued: "Sir, I asked just now, these captives are also poor, and those who can't afford to eat are all enthusiastic to sign up for a full meal in the official mansion, as long as we give them food, we are using the set of military advisors to persuade them, I think there will definitely be no recurrence."
Lu Shi couldn't help but nodded, it doesn't matter who these poor men fight for, what matters is who can feed them and who can let them live
"I was intentional just now, I suppressed them with a black face, scared them, and let Mr. be a red face to buy them, this is called that and that"
"Grace and power are equally important," Zhao Xing said: "The Great Commander is a good means, and this Great Commander is really both civil and military."
"It's not like I've been learning from a gentleman with a belly of intrigue all day long, what is the so-called near Zhu?"
"Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black," Lu Shi also began to help Guo Tianxing speak, "But the word conspiracy is inappropriate, don't talk about me in the future," Lu Shi warned Guo Tianxing seriously
Guo Tianxing nodded again and again, but he still wondered, I always heard Chen Ce say this, and I am familiar with this word to others, isn't it good, very good
"The Great Commander has thought it through, this is very good," was praised by Lu Shiyi, and Tianxing immediately laughed happily
"But according to the three disciplines and eight points of attention, military regulations, killing prisoners is a major crime and must be severely punished" As soon as he heard this, Guo Tianxing couldn't laugh at that time, but his eyes rolled and he said with a smile: "Fortunately, it's okay, this killing of prisoners was done by Li Li's kid."
Li Li cried at that time, "Commander, you are too inauthentic, how can you let me carry the black cauldron?"
Guo Tianxing glared at the time, "Why do you still want to evade responsibility?"
Lu Shi said to Guo Tianxing solemnly: "Don't shirk your responsibilities, the commander, you are the one who gave the order, Li Li is just the executor."
At that time, Guo Tianxing stopped talking
"Everyone is equal in front of military regulations, you are the commander, and you have to set an example, you order to punish yourself."
As soon as Tianxing's neck changed, he immediately said to Zhao Xing: "How can I supervise the sergeant, my commander, ordered the commander to be punished for violating military regulations, and the commander removed him from the position of commander, and then gave him ten lashes."
The decision stunned everyone at the time
