Chapter 110: Disposing of the Captives
Due to the shouting and killing on the field, and the Wu army was too concerned about the battle situation in front of the camp gate, they didn't pay any attention to it, and three hundred paces behind them, a Han army was quietly approaching.
A hundred steps forward, Jiang Wei unfurled his spear and shouted:
"Yu Linwei flew with both wings, directly took the left and right archers, and the Shangyong soldiers attacked the enemy's middle army! Soldiers, kill! ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The Han army received the order, shouting and suddenly speeding up.
As the speed changed, the cavalry and foot soldiers split into three.
Jiang Wei and Jufu each led a cavalry, and on the way, they suddenly changed formations and scattered, all the way to the Wu army archers on the left, all the way to the Wu army archers on the right.
Wang Ping led 3,000 Shangyong soldiers to attack the Wu army's main formation.
Sun Jiao noticed the movement behind him, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and there was a "buzz", and his head suddenly went blank.
"Where did you come from to get so many Shu troops?"
He turned around and looked again, his own formation had already opened, where could he adjust in a hurry? Right now, it's empty!
Just when his mind was in a mess, the Yulin Guard cavalry led by Jiang Wei and Jufu had already slammed into the archers on both wings of the Wu army.
Attacking an archer with a loose array, wearing only cloth armor, and almost no defense in a dense formation is like cutting vegetables with a knife, and there is no resistance.
The Wu archers screamed and were rushed into the air one after another, and after only one charge, they immediately dispersed.
Guan Xingfang followed Jiang Wei to charge, but his mind only fell on the main general of the freshly clothed angry horse in the Wu army's main formation. After slashing for a while, seeing that the archers were wiped out, he couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately slapped his horse and rushed straight towards Sun Jiao.
At this time, Wang Ping's Shangyong soldiers had also been connected with Sun Jiao's Chinese army.
Sun Jiaojun's elite ironclad infantry are all in front of the camp gate to protect the siege team, but the ordinary infantry around him, seeing the enemy attack from behind, has long been robbed of courage, if it is not for the desperate resistance of his own soldiers, I am afraid that one will be scattered.
At this moment, the camp gate of the Han army was wide open, and Guan Ping, Zhao Lei, and Xiang Pet each led a group of men and horses, rushed out of the camp to attack, and shouted on the field for a while!
With mental calculations and unintentional, under the front and back attacks, the battle fell into a one-sided situation from the beginning.
Sun Jiao saw his subordinates fall into chaos, and saw a brave green-robed young general coming quickly, he couldn't help but look like ashes, and said in his heart: "My life is over!" ”
The battle lasted only two quarters of an hour, and Guan Xing was furious, and after cutting down Sun Jiao with one sword, he cut off his general flag. He held Sun Jiao's head in one hand and the general flag in the other, rode his horse and galloped around, shouting loudly:
"The enemy general has been defeated by Wu Guanxing!"
"The enemy general has been defeated by Wu Guanxing!"
His actions became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
When the soldiers of Wu saw that the main general was dead, and there were Han troops in all directions, their fighting spirit suddenly disappeared, and they knelt on the ground and asked for surrender.
In this battle, the Han army won a complete victory, and the damage was minimal. The 5,000 Wu troops killed more than 1,000 on the spot, 1,500 were seriously wounded, and the rest surrendered.
The Han army won two battles in a row, and there was thunderous cheers when they landed. Although the soldiers were tired, there seemed to be a pride in their chests that could not be suppressed.
"Dahan Wansheng!"
"Dahan Wansheng!"
I don't know who took the lead in shouting, causing the soldiers to chant in unison, and the sound of cheering and victory soared into the sky and resounded in the sky.
******
The morale of the soldiers outside the camp was like a rainbow and they shouted wildly, but several of the main generals in the main tent were red-faced and almost quarreled.
The content of the dispute was about what to do with the group of more than 3,000 captives.
Guan Ping believed that it was impossible for these captives to be used for his own use, and that it was not only useless to keep them, but also had the possibility of turning against each other; But if it is released, it will undoubtedly return to the mountain, which will only increase the enemy's strength. He hated the Wu army's sneak attack against the alliance and proposed to kill them all.
Xiang Lang said that the killing was unknown, it was against the way of heaven to kill so well, but he didn't obey.
The two had tried to convince each other. Unexpectedly, both of them are resolute people, but neither of them can convince each other.
Angry together, they even quarreled about it, and they quarreled so much that their faces were red, and they still came to a conclusion.
At the end of the quarrel, the two suddenly closed their mouths together, and both looked at Guan Yu on the main seat, but they threw the problem to the main general for ruling.
Guan Yu also hated the sneak attack of Dongwu, but after all, he was from the bottom of the people step by step to today's status, and he knew the suffering of the people.
The masterminds of the sneak attack were Sun Quan, Lu Meng and others, and these soldiers were just acting on orders, and all the crimes were not to death.
He hesitated in his heart, couldn't make a decision, pondered for a long time, suddenly turned to Jiang Wei, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Jiang Wei moved to the rescue, and offered a plan to win two battles in a row, and invisibly, he has been relied on by everyone. Although Xiang Lang and Guan Ping's official positions are above him, the weight of his words at the moment is not below the two.
Therefore, as soon as Guan Yu asked him, everyone turned their heads to look at him.
Jiang Wei fell into deep thought.
In fact, in his heart, he is not inclined to kill. After all, the Shu people and the Wu people are all Han people, with the same Chinese lineage, the same root and the same species.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the princes continued to attack each other, and the household registration was greatly reduced. The war has caused the Chinese people to suffer too much. The reason why the Wuhu Rebellion occurred a hundred years later was the most fundamental reason for the great reduction of the Han people's household registration.
Therefore, in Jiang Wei's view, every population is precious, not to mention that there are more than 3,000 people here.
It's just that if you don't kill it, the consequences will indeed be as Guan Ping said.
His brows furrowed, his mind raced, and after a while, he had a plan in his heart:
"The words of Xiang Taishou and General Guan are all reasonable. According to the general's opinion, it is better to compromise. ”
"What's the compromise?" Xiang Lang and Guan Ping asked in unison.
"The captives were all given a leg as punishment. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones. At least for half a year, it is impossible for these wounded soldiers to go into battle again; In addition, Soochow also had to spend a large amount of medicinal materials and grain to treat them for them to return to their hometowns. Why don't we do it? ”
When everyone heard this, they all felt polite, and in the unanimous affirmation of everyone, the fate of this group of captives was decided.
Guan Ping immediately got up and left his seat and went to gather people to dispose of this group of prisoners.
At this time, the Wu army captives knelt on the school ground, they were already fish on the chopping board, and their hearts were worried, and suddenly they heard that they could survive by breaking only one leg, so they knelt on the ground and shouted in unison:
"General Rende, General Rende!" Many people even shed tears on the spot.
Hearing the tsunami of the mountains outside, Jiang Wei couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, he still has some thoughts that he has not spoken, after these prisoners recover from their injuries, many of them cannot join the army again, but the life of farming in their hometown is not hindered. In this way, it can be regarded as leaving thousands of fires for the Chinese lineage.
It was a civil war between the three countries, not a war of conquest, and the extermination and massacre of compatriots should not be used as a means. This is also an important reason why Jiang Wei chose to serve Liu Bei, after all, Liu Bei regards himself as benevolent and righteous, and has never slaughtered the city.
What's more, in the short term, Shu and Wu are hostile to each other; In the long run, Shu Wu must cooperate in order to withstand the pressure from Cao Wei.
The relationship between the three kingdoms is complicated, and after half a year, it is difficult to say whether it will be war or peace!
After disposing of the prisoners, Jiang Wei once again ordered his troops and horses, and took Guan Xing, Jufu, and Wang Ping to the stone mouth to ambush.
Sun Jiao is just the first fish, and there are Zhuge Jin, Sun Huan, and Jiang Qin behind him.
Jiang Wei always firmly believes that as long as Guan Yu's bait is still here, he will not worry about these fish not being baited.
