Chapter 84: The General's Sword Doesn't Cut Ants
After the closure of the city gate, the 100,000 soldiers of the Qin army were killed by the 80,000 troops of the Qin army, except for less than 20,000 soldiers who fled back to the city, and the remaining more than 80,000 soldiers became lambs to be slaughtered, and were eaten up by the Qin army, a division of tigers and wolves.

If it is said that in the early stage of this battle, the Qin cavalry covered up and beheaded a lot, then the subsequent phalanx of the Qin army's soldiers was a veritable meat grinder.
Once the sergeant of the Warrior State was driven by the cavalry to the range of the Pawn Phalanx, the Qin Army's Pawn Phalanx used a complete set of killing methods. If you are far away, you will shoot with a crossbow, if you are a little farther away, you will be stabbed with a spear, and if you are close, you will use a Qin sword to cut it down.
It's not that there are no soldiers of the Saluo Kingdom, who want to gather and attack the phalanx of the Qin army, but once they get close, it is like a drop of water falling into an oil pot, except for a little wave, it will disappear in a short time.
Sima Zhi even rode a horse alone to the foot of the city, and scolded: "Bi Liuli, don't you want to skin the little master and cramp? Aren't you going to kill all of my Qin army? Now that the master is here, you are coming down! How did you become a turtle with a shrunken head"?
Sima Zhi pointed at the military advisor Hong Chou and scolded: "And you, you dog traitor!" Aren't you going to set up a formation? How did you escape? If you come down, I can pinch you to death with my bare hands! You're coming down!"
When Bi Liuli and Hong Chou saw Sima Zhi so insulting, their faces flushed with anger. But let them go out of the city to fight, forget it! Are you kidding? Just let the soldiers in the city shoot bows and arrows, and forced Sima straight away.
This slaughter lasted for 3 hours, and I saw that the heads of the soldiers of the Qin army were hung under the belly of the horses, and the same was true of the waist of the Qin army's soldiers, and the heads were tightly hung around them, so that they couldn't hang it anymore, so they cut off their left ears as evidence. As for the number of beheadings registered by Lord Gongcao, whether these left ears can be counted or not, let's talk about it when the time comes. Now everyone only cares about killing the enemy bravely, who can control so much!
In these three hours, 60,000 of the 80,000 soldiers of the Kingdom of Kansara were beheaded, and the rest was less than 20,000. On the ten-mile-long plain outside the city, the originally brown land was now soaked in blood, muddy, and a swamp watered with blood. Because of this battle, this plain was called the Bloody Plateau by later generations.
Biliuli and the military advisor Hong Chou on the city of Kasaro, looking at everything that happened outside the city, were speechless. What else can they say? What can we say at this time but fear and amazement?
Tens of thousands of soldiers in the city of Kansaro, looking at the Qin army under the city like a god, they were all terrified. At this time, they were not thinking about how to avenge their dead compatriots, but glad that they were hiding in this tall and solid city of Kansaro, and that they were not those unlucky ghosts outside the city.
In their eyes, these Qin troops were not people at all, but devils, devils who specialized in harvesting life. But everyone will be tired, and these Qin troops are running and slashing for three or four hours in the wilderness, and the sword blade is afraid that it has already collapsed, but it is still full of energy, isn't this the devil? No matter who it is next, even if it is the lord of the country, even if it is the god of heaven who descends to earth and lets himself go out of the city to fight the Qin army, he would rather die than go. Where are these Qin armies that mortals can defeat?
It is indeed as they thought, the Qin army slashed and killed indiscriminately for three hours, and the physical strength of the sergeants had long been overdrawn, and now what supported them was just a faith. A belief in avenging the dead Qin army! A belief in clearing the obstacles on the way back to the East! A belief that even if I die thousands of times, I will return my Daqin to my homeland!
The remaining 20,000 remnants of the Salo Kingdom, seeing that they couldn't run away and couldn't fight, threw away their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy. The cavalry was better, and when they met the soldiers of the Kansaro Kingdom who surrendered on their knees, they often galloped past and chased the remnants of the soldiers who were still resisting.
And the Qin army soldiers are not so polite, seven days ago in the siege battle, the Qin army was burned to death, most of them were their own soldiers and horses, and some were their own flesh and blood relatives. They saw these remnants of soldiers who surrendered on their knees, but they didn't care if you really surrendered, who knew if you were playing some kind of trick like that day. As long as you meet it, don't say anything.
Only the dead are safest, and only the dead can be trusted! This is the rule on the battlefield, this is the way to survive on the battlefield!
Excessive hatred will really turn people into beasts that only know how to kill, Qin Feng looked at all this in front of him, sighed and ordered: "Pass the order, those who descend will not be killed"!
According to the "Chronicles of the Great Qin" written by later historians, in the first year of the Great Qin, Shangheng was born, and the remnants of the Tianzhu Qin people were accepted as the army, and the city of Harappa was the foundation. In October, the state of Biliuli insulted the Qin people very much, and the Shang was furious, and raised 100,000 troops to attack them. On the first day, the ambush was not completely annihilated, and the next day the city was attacked, and the enemy chieftain burned the city, and the Qin army retreated. On the seventh day, he led 80,000 troops and won a decisive victory with Biliuli outside the city. On the great victory, Biliuli retreated into the city, most of the soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, and the blood flowed like a river and there was almost no place to stand. The rest knelt on the ground and begged, and the mercy was granted!
After the Qin army received the order, they no longer slashed and killed the soldiers of the Ssaro Kingdom, but sent people to guard them. Those soldiers of the Saroguo Kingdom, who were still conceited and stubbornly resisted, were overjoyed when they saw that the Qin army allowed them to surrender, and they abandoned their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
When the other generals saw that Qin Feng ordered not to be killed, it was nothing. Sima Zhi was the first to figure it out, and rode straight to Qin Feng. Before the person got closer, he immediately shouted: "Second brother, don't you avenge the death of the Qin army"?
Qin Feng looked at Sima Zhi who was huffing: "Ah Zhi, there are no less than 50,000 soldiers of the Saluo Kingdom beheaded today, and if you want to talk about revenge, it should be almost the same!" As for these people, it's better not to kill"!
Sima Zhi lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "Second brother, the killing and surrender are unknown since ancient times, you are the commander of the three armies, I am afraid of being scolded, I am not afraid!" Go back to the camp, and leave it to me!" I'm going to cook it cleanly!"
Qin Feng saw that Sima Zhi had a rare brainstorm, but today he came up with such an idea, and laughed in his heart: "Ah Zhi, who are you as your second brother?" Am I the kind of person who is afraid to do what I dare not do"?
Qin Feng saw that Sima Zhi opened his mouth and wanted to distinguish, so he raised his hand to stop him and continued: "Ah Zhi, as a general, he is armed with a sharp weapon, and his murderous intent arises, so he needs to be cautious!" The brutality of the army is not terrible, what is terrible is that this brutality becomes habitual. Our Qin army is advancing thousands of miles eastward, and there are more than a million enemies in front of us, can they all be killed? For the sake of the way, when it should be brutal, it must be brutal, and when it should be gentle, it should also be tender! You get the idea"!
Although Sima Zhi didn't understand it in his heart, his second brother made it clear that he was not allowed to kill and surrender, and he was not good at disobeying.
Sima Zhi smiled: "Second brother, I know!" I will go and let them encircle these soldiers, lest they be in trouble."
What is Sima Zhi's mind, Qin Feng can see it clearly at a glance, this is to go to the trap and confine the pawns, obviously he wants to take advantage of the chaos and kill a few more by himself.
Qin Feng smiled slightly: "Ah Zhi, you have worked extremely hard in this battle, why do you need to do such a trivial matter yourself, and leave it to the soldiers!" It's good for you and your second brother to talk here"!
Sima Zhi saw that Qin Feng would not let him go, and he was reluctant in his heart, but he couldn't refuse. It's just that when he was talking to Qin Feng, he muttered to himself.
Qin Feng was quite amused when he saw Sima Zhi like this, his third brother said that it was a child's temperament, and to put it bluntly, it was a child's temper. I had no choice but to say comfort: "Ah Zhi, you are the general of my Qin army, since ancient times, the sword of the general does not cut ants, why should you be indignant for the lives of these soldiers!" Besides, these pawns, I have a lot of use, can I save the two thousand Qin people who were detained, but it will fall on them"!
Sima Zhi came to his senses at this time, and said with a grin: "Second brother, you didn't say it earlier, you said earlier that you would exchange these pawns for our Qin people, how could I not be willing!"
Seeing him laughing like this, Qin Feng said with a straight face: "Ah Zhi, you are the one who wants to do great things, and you don't cut ants between generals, you have to keep this sentence in mind from time to time!"
Seeing that Qin Feng was so serious, Sima Zhi scratched his head and said, "Second brother, what big can I do?" Second brother, you are the one who does great things, as long as I follow you, I will do great things"!
