Chapter 277: Ruthless Slaughter

What can you do if you stop everyone at this time?

Die of hunger and thirst, and then wait for the army to collect the corpse?

Losing Dongyang City, the border of Shengguo is equivalent to a gap being chiseled, and the Vermilion Bird Legion will soon be able to drive straight into the hinterland of Shengguo, and then there will be a combination of Xuanwu Legion and Qilin Legion, and within a month, Shengguo will be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Wang Lan sighed.

The general trend is inviolable, if you can save a life, you can save a life.

Looking at the soldiers who were about to move below, Wang Lan reluctantly issued an order to order the whole army to retreat from the back.

The so-called backside refers to the common means used by the army to siege the city, using the method of encircling three and one, so as to avoid the enemy falling into a desperate situation in his heart, give people a way to retreat, and eliminate the enemy's fighting spirit.

The back side that Wang Lan said refers to the north of Dongyang City.

The army came out of the city from the north, but fortunately, the army was ordered to defend the city, and there were not many military baggage, and most of them were equipment to defend the city, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they had already escaped a mile.

Just as everyone was relieved and basked in the joy of escaping death, a rumbling sound was heard, as if something was approaching.

Cavalry!

In an instant, many people reacted, and the experienced old soldier lay on the ground and listened attentively.

Really......

In an instant, everyone's faces changed drastically.

What is cavalry?

That's a real slaughtering machine!

As we all know, the cavalry of Cangguo is an invincible existence on the battlefield, and it is an army that does not take prisoners, once it is suppressed, it can only face the fate of being slaughtered!

"Coax-"

"Coax-"

"Coax-"

The Sheng army mutinied, and they didn't care about the formation, starting from the soldiers on both sides, they threw away their armor one by one and fled separately.

"Come back! Give me all back! ”

Wang Lan was in a hurry, he had seen the power of the Qilin Army, if there was any hope of survival if he escaped together in a formation, and escaped alone, it would be impossible to escape in front of the fast cavalry.

Moreover, the appearance of cavalry at this time was obviously premeditated by the Cang army, and they had made up their minds to annihilate everyone here, so how could they let the deserters leave?

However, the frightened soldiers could no longer hear his shouts clearly, and even the generals at the bottom found that they could not control their subordinates, and in the midst of a wave of flights, they could only follow others and flee in all directions.

"Woo-"

"Woo-"

"Woo-"

The standard charge signal of the Cangjun army, under the backdrop of the firelight, one banner after another emerged under the red sky, one side embroidered with a Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, and the other side wrote the word "Vermilion Bird".

It is destined to be the Suzaku Legion without a doubt.

The cavalry charged, the infantry besieged, and those who fled became the first to be slaughtered.

10,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry, besieging nearly 80,000 soldiers, it seems that there is not much difference in numbers, but when the two armies collide together, the contrast effect is immediately apparent.

Crying, screaming, begging for mercy...... Various sounds mingle together.

In half an hour, Han Tong led the main force of the Vermilion Bird Legion to press up, and the 140,000 army was mighty and mighty, tightly surrounding this large battlefield.

The soldiers of the Sheng army gave up resistance and only asked to surrender.

The fighting came to an abrupt halt.

Even the soldiers of the Suzaku Legion didn't know what to do next.

Do you accept surrender or continue to kill?

While collecting their weapons, the soldiers paid attention to the direction of the commander's chariot and waited for the order of Generalissimo Han Tong.

"Kill!"

Han Tong lightly spit out a word, none of these people can live.

Before the siege of the city, he made up his mind that the 80,000-strong army in the city would never escape.

Once they escape, they will be deployed in the city behind, and the pressure on the Suzaku Legion will be very great.

And when it came time to set fire to the city, he had no intention of accepting the captives.

Because it is obvious that even if the Shengguo army suffers a wave of massacres, there are still forty or fifty thousand people left, if they are escorted one by one, it will definitely slow down the advance of the entire army, as the first army that can attack the hinterland of Shengguo, it is impossible for the Suzaku Legion to arrange for people to escort the captives back to China in order to settle the prisoners.

Besides, since you have killed Shengguo, you also need a battle of Liwei, if you spare these tens of thousands of people, and encounter a large number of enemy troops again in the future, how can you deter them?

The enemy soldiers will have a kind of mentality, anyway, the city can be broken and you can surrender, everyone can resist with all their strength without any scruples, it is good to succeed, but you can surrender and save your life if you don't succeed.

The wind can't rise!

Since the two countries have entered a state of battle, there is no love to talk about, as long as all these people are killed, the news will not spread to the outside, thus ruining the reputation of the Cang army for not killing prisoners.

Obviously, the Sheng army also realized this, but helplessly, after the previous surrender, many people's weapons had been confiscated, and they were killed unarmed.

Faced with the Sheng army, which had no weapons or armor, the soldiers of the Suzaku Legion were like slaughtering a group of civilians, and some of them were already numb.

In particular, some recruits used it as a place to practice, and for the first time they experienced the feeling of killing people and overcame the fear in their hearts.

This time, it took only a quarter of an hour.

An army of 200,000, including 10,000 cavalry, slaughtered 50,000 or 60,000 enemy troops who had no power to resist, and it didn't take much effort at all.

Under the crimson sky, the ground was littered with corpses......

After doing all this, Han Tong ordered to rest in place, and the soldiers either ate dry food, or solved personal physical problems, and also helped the wounded comrades to bandage.

Half an hour later, Han Tong issued another order, sent someone to inform the Qilin Legion and the Xuanwu Legion, and left 3,000 soldiers to garrison Dongyang City to rescue the injured soldiers, and the rest of the people adjusted the queue and marched forward in the starry night!

The troops received the order and immediately prepared in an orderly manner, and the soldiers of the armor team also went outside the city to load the chariots with chariots for the next battle.

The Suzaku Legion did not suffer much loss in the first battle of Dongyang City, and did not damage a single soldier when attacking the city, and then the street battle was just to set fire, with few casualties, and there were less than 1,000 casualties when the 50,000 troops were ambushed and intercepted.

Despite this, this proportion can be said to be very small in the army of 200,000.

"Marshal, the soldiers have been busy all day, shouldn't they rest at night?"

Next to him, Gu Fengnan said a word, this person who was originally a prisoner of Zheng Guo and later became the leader of the rebel army, is now the general of the Vermilion Bird Legion, with an army of 30,000 under his command, and expressed his concern when he learned that Generalissimo Han Tong was going to continue to advance.
