The feat of burning thousands of Japanese people in one fell swoop proved Hou Junji's murderous nature from another angle, making everyone, including his own, silent about him.

However, the old man had no intention of changing his ways, and early the next morning, another group of Japanese soldiers were again escorted to ...... battlefield.

The difference from yesterday is that this group of widows is no longer calm, crying and begging for mercy are one after another, and some of them are lying on the ground, although they are beaten by the Tang soldiers who are in charge of escorting them, they still refuse to get up.

These Japanese prisoners of war were ignorant, ignorant, and savage, but this did not mean that they were not afraid of death, especially by fire.

Yesterday I saw the miserable fate of those companions, and today I see that I am walking on that desperate road again, how can they obediently obey.

And just when those Japanese people were desperately struggling, a young man appeared in front of them, stopped the Tang soldiers who were responsible for escorting them, and finally waited until these Japanese people calmed down before slowly asking: "Do you want to die or live?" ”

Needless to say? As long as it's a person, you don't want to die, right? Some Japanese people who knew a little about the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty nodded their heads and screamed meaningless language in their mouths, which resulted in another beating.

"Since you want to live, I can give you a chance to live." The young man waited until the scene had quieted down before speaking again.

It's just that this time those widows learned smartly, and even if they understood, they just nodded quickly and closed their mouths tightly.

The young man seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of the Japanese people, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then said: "Give you half an hour to capture this city, and those who can complete the task can be freed, otherwise...... Die! ”

There was no nod from the Japanese now, and the prisoners of war looked at each other and didn't know how to choose.

But it was evident that the young man was not asking for their opinions, and without waiting for them to reply, he continued to himself: "In about a quarter of an hour you will set out, so that you may know for yourselves!" ”

Those prisoners of war did not know what it was to know what it was, and in their impression it should not be much different from asking for more blessings.

Do you really want to attack the capital of your own country? Although each of them hated the nobles in the city, they really made them resist, and when Xinzi broke the national capital, the prisoners of war still hesitated.

However, the young man did not give them time to think about it, and just as he had left his position, several 'water dragons' were pushed up, and someone began to shake at the crank behind him.

The so-called 'water dragon', the meaning and function are almost the same as the modern fire truck, roughly a large water tank, connected to a bamboo pipe, where there is a fire when people have no way to approach, will get this thing out, someone in the back of the shaker, through the inside of the pump-like mechanism will be water through the bamboo pipe discharge, play a role in extinguishing the fire.

But this time, instead of clean water, the water dragon spewed out, but the kind of water that burns, which made the people tremble in the following demonstration.

The water is inextinguishable, and the unending water has been sprayed by the 'water dragon' just now, which means that as long as there is a little spark now, they will immediately go to see Amaterasu.

Poisonous enough, ruthless enough, the Japanese prisoners of war who originally planned to take the opportunity to escape for a while were all desperate at this time, and they knew very well that at this time there was no second way except to obey the arrangement, unless they wanted to be burned to death by fire.

Not far from them, another group of people who spoke the same language and were of the same height were receiving different orders.

It was still the same young man just now, but at this time he had already put away the smile on his face and changed into the standard armor that belonged to the Tang Army.

"General Yang. It's time for us to go to war, right? Qin Jisheng, the leader of those naturalized people stood beside the young man and asked with some concern.

"Yes, in a moment you will be following the prisoners of war to attack the city, and after they have broken a way, you will be responsible for expanding the victory." The young man nodded and said without a smile.

"But General, we ......"

"Don't say anything, if you don't want to die, if you don't want to be used as cannon fodder, then do as I say." The young man surnamed Yang said with a cold face.

These uncompetitive guys always want to take advantage, but they don't want to think about whether Datang's advantage is so easy to take advantage of.

I don't want to pay the price, but I want to be able to get a higher status, I really don't know what these naturalized people think, have their brains been washed by those widows?

Yang Tian thought about it, recalling the performance of these naturalized people some time ago, and only felt that his old face was flushed.

After all, he brought the people, but he didn't work hard, he immediately retreated when he encountered a battle, and rushed forward desperately when he encountered benefits, which made Yang Tian very embarrassed in front of Li You and others, if it weren't for the lack of troops in the expeditionary legion, and they still needed to replenish the number of people on the side, they would have the intention of killing them all.

……

Time passed little by little, and a quarter of an hour had arrived almost in the blink of an eye.

The drums unexpectedly made a dull percussion sound, as if they were the drums of those Japanese prisoners of war.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The Tang soldiers with rockets in all directions forced up with neat steps, and the prisoners of war kept moving to the middle of the battlefield.

"Ah......" Finally, someone couldn't stand such a stir, grabbed the ladder assigned to them, and roared wildly and rushed through the clouds towards Heijokyo.

If you don't want to die, take Heijojing, and if you take Heichengjing, you will be free, as for what will happen after Heichengjing is defeated, this is not a question that the prisoners of war need to care about.

……

Li You no longer knew how to describe his mood at this time, watching the prisoners of war on Pingchengjing frantically entangled with their own compatriots, and then seeing those naturalized people rushing to the city wall of Pingchengjing, he suddenly realized that he did not seem to be a qualified general.

Or maybe he is really not suitable to be a general, at least his heart is not hard enough to look at such a tragic scene and remain indifferent, compared to the thin little old man next to him, Li You smiled bitterly in his heart.

I really don't know what kind of battles those old men have experienced, how can their hearts be so hard, how can they watch countless people die without changing their faces.

Although Li You also hated those Japanese people very much, what he thought about the most was to cut off the heads of these people to avenge Song Heimian, and as for burning them alive...... This was something I never thought of.
