However, for the soldiers of Zhenla and Linyi, it was not so lucky, the elephants turned their heads and trampled on their soldiers, so that they suffered heavy losses unprepared, but the trampling of the elephants was only a part, and more casualties were caused by the pushing and crowding between the soldiers, causing many soldiers to fall and be trampled to death.

While the two countries were hurriedly dealing with the elephants, the Tang army quietly advanced, forming a crescent-shaped encirclement, and behind them came the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves, and five thousand elite iron horsemen blocked their back road.

"Damn, rush out, this group of northerners is a mess!" Wu Cheng said angrily, he rode on the Dian horse, and then took the guard battalion to prepare to break through, and now he has obviously fallen for the tricks of the Tang army, leaving Qingshan here, not afraid of running out of firewood.

Without a commander, the two coalition forces rushed like lambs, but they were greeted by merciless bullets and arrows.

The Tang army had the most bows and arrows, and the government soldiers stipulated that each person should carry at least one good bow, and almost 120,000 troops did not carry bows and arrows.

On the other side, the cavalry also began to kill and kill, and this pair of elite cavalry was sent by Li Shimin to help the emperor.

Compared with the backward cavalry warfare in the south, the cavalry in the north is the elite of the world, and fighting this group of miscellaneous soldiers is like entering a no-man's land and wantonly slaughtering.

The massacre lasted an afternoon, and by the time it was almost dark, there were only a few thousand of the coalition remaining, dazed and traumatized, and only a few of them were left of the army of 70,000 men.

It was a complete slaughter!

"Let them lay down their arms and raise their hands in surrender without killing!" Li Xiaogong rode his war horse and galloped in front of them.

"The king of Chu asked you to put down the weapons in your hands, and our prince will not kill prisoners!" The interpreting soldier shouted.

When these remnants of the two countries heard this, they were like being amnestied, their faces flashed with happy smiles, they knelt on the ground, and kept saying flattering words to Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong turned the head of the war horse under his crotch, his face showed a hint of mockery, and he commanded in a low voice: "Dig a pit and bury them!" ”

"King of Chu...... This is killing prisoners, you can't kill them, it's ominous to kill prisoners. The civil servant next to him persuaded.

"Can't be killed? The situation of these barbarians defending the city today, this king has observed it clearly, and everyone is stubborn in resisting, if they are allowed to go back, it will be a great harm!

This king also knows that killing prisoners is ominous, but if you don't kill them, you are ashamed of the country, you are ashamed of Your Majesty, and you secretly set up personal favors, which is also a taboo for ministers!

Back then, Wu Anjun Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao troops in Changping Pit, just like this king, did not kill prisoners make it difficult for King Qin Zhaoxiang? Li Xiaogong said in a low voice.

These people must be killed, they can't be kept, anyway, they have already surrounded and suppressed 70,000 troops, and they are not inferior to these thousands of people.

And the most important thing is that these barbarians have antipathy in their hearts, if he doesn't kill him, after returning to Diancheng, it will be a big problem to leave it to the emperor, whether to let it go or stay?

Thousands of allied troops from the two countries consciously tied them up with straw ropes to each other, and as prisoners, they should have these consciousnesses.

Then he stared blankly at the Tang army who were baking cakes and eating cakes around the campfire next to the camp, and they were also hungry for a day and a night, and they did not eat a drop of water.

I can only hope to leave them with some leftovers after eating.

After the Tang soldiers finished eating, they dared to go south with their spears, but the captives did not dare to speak, thinking that they were giving them food.

Some are happy, some are sad.

After one of the captives stepped on the air, he was startled by the sound of gravel rolling, and he made a loud noise.

Thousands of captives seemed to understand something, and hurriedly tried to break free of the straw rope, but in front of the Tang army's neat guns, they kept retreating in horror.

One by one, the captives fell into the pit like dumplings.

"Shoot them and kill them." The general of the Tang Army said.

After the dense rain of arrows, thousands of captives wailed all over the field, but to no avail, they were buried in the ground, and their moans turned into ghost howls.

Thousands of living human lives slowly turned into dead corpses!

The next day, the city was occupied.

With the news of the defeat of the coalition army and the annihilation of the entire army, the entire Linyi country was desperate, believing that the day of the destruction of the city was not long.

The king of Linyi wanted to sacrifice the city and beg for his life, but the prince Abe also stopped him, "Yesterday, the Tang thieves have been defeated and thousands of captives of our two countries have been killed. ”

So Lin Yiguo built urn cities in the city while fighting, demolished the houses near the city wall, requisitioned the houses, and connected the walls with the city walls to form three or four city walls, and each time the city wall was breached, it was transferred to the next city wall.

The beams and pillars on the beams were dismantled and made into rolling logs, and all the latrine feces were collected and boiled into gold juice to defend the city.

The people in the city of Champong, regardless of men, women, old and children, went into battle together, and after the prime of life was killed, the women resisted, and after the women were killed, the young people resisted, and slowly consumed the confrontation.

In order not to bear huge losses, the Tang army only surrounded the city and waited for the food in the city to gradually run out, and then attacked the city.

This kind of play made the Emperor almost think that they were unrighteous teachers in the Tang Dynasty.

"I attacked them to save this group of barbarians, but I didn't expect them to know each other." Li Yuan held a telescope on the earthen fort built by the Tang army opposite the city of Zhancheng and looked at the scenes and objects in the city of Zhancheng, and sighed.

Champa's stubborn resistance was due to Li Xiaogong's mistake in killing the prisoners.

But in fact, Li Yuan didn't think that Li Xiaogong had made a wrong move, the Indochina Peninsula was a small barbarian country with many tribes, and lacked reverence for the Tang Dynasty.

Zhancheng is a hard nail, gnaw down Zhancheng, who would dare to disobey the orders of the Tang Dynasty?

First hard, then easy!

Bloody colonial rule was not fought at the negotiating table, but fought with a knife and a gun.

However, Li Yuan also symbolically punished Li Xiaogong's guilt and cut off 3,000 households.

Perfunctory.

But suddenly there was an urgent report, "Your Majesty, there is a plague among 800 soldiers this morning, according to the diagnosis of the military doctor, it may be malaria!" ”

"Malaria?" Li Yuan's face changed slightly, after all, he still came, in order to prevent the epidemic, he let the army be stationed in Annan Province for two months, just to adapt to the humid and sultry climate, but he didn't expect it......

"Yes, Annan Province has also been developed by the Han people, but the further south the Indochina Peninsula is, it is really rampant with miasma, and malaria is normal, and the climate and environment here are equivalent to the Lingnan ...... in the pre-Qin period" Li Yuan muttered to himself, when the first emperor sent Zhao Tuo to expedition to Lingnan, he encountered miasma, and now there is not much miasma in the Tang Lingnan, but the miasma is almost everywhere in the Indochina Peninsula.

"The infected soldiers were quarantined, lime powder was sprinkled in the camp, and the soldiers were told about the malaria...... I can heal!

Don't forget my other name, the disciple of the Taiqing Sage, I can cure smallpox, don't be afraid of malaria! Li Yuan said.
