Chapter 1258: It's better to be more troublesome
The encirclement of Cao's army is getting smaller and smaller.
The Huns, who tried to break out of the encirclement, were either killed by random arrows or fell under the incessant stabbing spears.
Watching the battle, Chen Zhi said to Cao Shuo: "Gongzi said that I don't have a chance to fight, and I don't think the generals have a chance either." This is a war, it is simply a massacre. ”
"They should be very helpless at this point." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said, "Let the soldiers continue to advance, I don't want too many prisoners to be left in the end." Killing people on the battlefield and killing prisoners are two different concepts entirely. ”
Before Cao Shuo finished speaking, a cavalryman rode his horse and galloped over.
When they arrived, the cavalry said: "Prince Qiyu, King Zuoxian of the Huns is willing to surrender." ”
"Childe." Tian Feng on the side said to Cao Shuo: "The Huns are willing to surrender, do you want to ......?"
"The Great Han is not strong enough, not strong enough to make the Huns fear through a battle." Cao Shuo said: "To tell you the truth, I didn't plan to leave anyone alive in this battle. ”
He instructed the cavalry: "Tell the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, don't do anything that makes me look down on the Huns." Since he is a Hun warrior, since he dares to come to our Central Plains, he should have prepared to die. I do not accept surrender. ”
The cavalry rode away.
The Hun warriors around him fell one by one, and the corpses of the Huns on the battlefield had piled up.
With each advance of Cao's army, more Huns and war horses would fall.
"Gongzi has an order, not to accept the surrender of the Huns, and to move on." A voice came from behind Cao Jun's array.
Hearing this voice, Qubei suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fell off the horse.
The battle has been fought like this, and it is not accepted to surrender, it is nothing more than to want to kill them all......
"Hun warriors, kill me!" Already in complete despair, he went to roar and led the Hun cavalry to launch a final charge......
More than an hour later.
The Cao army array has dispersed.
Many Cao soldiers were cleaning up the corpses.
They separated the corpses of the Huns and the horses.
If it is the war horse of its own cavalry, it will be buried by the soldiers after death.
However, the dead on the battlefield were all Hun horses, although there was no shortage of meat in the barracks, these horse meat should be left as dry meat, which could also be used as dry food when marching.
Among the piles of corpses, some of the Huns were not dead.
They wailed and begged Cao Jun to save their lives.
However, the help given to them by the soldiers of the Cao army was to draw their short swords and relieve them of their pain.
There were almost no battles of prisoners.
The 20,000 Huns, after a whole day of fighting, were all buried in the Central Plains, and from now on, they never had the opportunity to return to the Hetao that gave birth to them.
With Tian Feng and the generals, Cao Shuo walked on the battlefield full of corpses.
"In the past two years, I have followed Gongzi to fight, and today's battle should be the most tragic." Looking at the soldiers of the Cao army who were carrying the corpses, Chen Zhi asked, "What does Gongzi plan to do with the corpses of the Huns?" ”
"Is King Zuoxian of the Huns still alive?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Alive." Chen Zhi said: "I was seriously injured, but I didn't die. If you put a little effort into it, you should be able to save life. ”
"Then bring him back to life." Cao Shuo said: "Originally, I planned to leave a few captives to return to Hetao to tell their Da Danyu, and in the future, the Huns will not interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains." Since King Zuo Xian is alive, it would be better for him to bring his words. ”
"I'm going to have someone call in a healer to heal him." Chen arrived, and instructed the guards on the side to ask for a doctor to save King Zuoxian, and then said to Cao Shuo: "20,000 people, piling up here and stinking will definitely cause a plague." If you bury it, it will take a lot of effort. ”
"What do you mean?" Cao Shuo asked him.
"I think the body should be burned." Chen Zhi said: "A fire is clean, but it is also worry-free." It's just a matter of burying our own soldiers who died in battle. ”
"It's just as hard to burn a fire." Cao Shuo said: "It's all troublesome anyway, so it's better to find the most troublesome one." ”
"Childe means buried?" Chen Zhi asked.
"No!" Cao Shuo said: "The Huns are not from the Central Plains, this is our home, as a foreign race, they should not appear here, let alone use swords against our Central Plains." Since they have done it, they have to bear the consequences. Ordered the soldiers to use the corpses of 20,000 Huns to build a Beijing Temple, so that the Xiongnu Zuoxian King could take a good look at what kind of scenery he brought us this time. ”
"I see!" Chen arrived, and then shouted to the soldiers: "Gongzi has an order to build a Jingguan with the corpses of the Huns." ”
The order was given, and some Cao soldiers began to carry the corpses of the Huns and pile them together.
They spread the corpses in one piece, then sprinkled some dirt on them, splashed them with water, and stacked a second layer of corpses.
Clearing the battlefield and building the Kyoto Temple are carried out at the same time.
Cao Shuo was leading everyone to watch, and a soldier ran to his side: "Childe, there are a few living people over there, saying that it is the Xiongnu Aries King and several tribal leaders, we dare not decide how to deal with it without authorization, so we specially came to ask Gongzi for instructions." ”
"Take me to see it." I heard that there were still Huns alive, and they all had some status in the Huns, so Cao Shuo commanded.
The soldiers led him and the others to the front of more than a dozen Huns surrounded by Cao's army.
One by one, the Huns were bound and knelt there.
"Childe is here!" The soldier leading the way shouted.
The Cao army surrounding the Huns got out of the way.
Walking in front of these Huns, Cao Shuo asked one of them with a gloomy face, "Who is the Aries King?" ”
"Me! I! A Hun kneeling there hurriedly answered.
He looked up at Cao Shuo and pleaded: "Please General Cao spare our lives, we will definitely honor our son in the future, and never come to the Central Plains again......"
"I don't want you to worship me." Cao Shuo interrupted him coldly: "As long as you are afraid of me and mention my name, you Hun children will not dare to cry." ”
"Yes, definitely!" The Aries King hurriedly said: "The general is the eagle of the Central Plains, how can the rabbit on the grassland not be afraid of the eagle?" ”
"Empty mouth and white teeth, you said I would believe it?" Cao Shuo suddenly laughed very weirdly, he walked behind the Aries King, pulled out his short sword and grabbed the Aries King's hair: "The only way to be afraid on the battlefield is to kill people, the more you kill, the more the enemy will be afraid of me." ”
Before the words fell, the short sword in Cao Shuo's hand wiped over the neck of the Aries King.
After killing the Aries King, he instructed Cao Jun who was present: "Leave two, and kill all the others!" ”
Several Cao soldiers stepped forward in response, leaving two of the Huns behind, and wiped the necks of the other Huns who were still begging for mercy one by one.
"Leaving you two behind, I'm worried that your Zuo Xian King will be too lonely on the way back to Hetao." Cao Shuo turned around and left, leaving a sentence to the two frightened Huns: "When you return to the Huns, I can tell you that Da Danyu killed everyone by the sons and daughters of the Cao family." ”
