Hearing the boss say this, the surrounding rebel soldiers drew their swords one after another, raised their spears, and the atmosphere suddenly became murderous.

Most of the Ming prisoners were frightened, and some hurriedly expressed their desire to join the rebels. The rebel soldiers on one side immediately dragged them aside to distinguish them from the captives who had not yet moved.

The rest of the Ming army captives looked at each other with uncertain expressions. Seeing that the companions who had already surrendered had almost left their pile, he became a little anxious and panicked.

Wang Jiayin looked at about 400 people who did not move, and his expression became more and more cold. After he waited patiently for a while, and still did not take prisoners to surrender again, he shouted coldly: "I ask one last time, is there anyone else who is willing to join our rebel army?" ”

The coldness in the voice can be heard by anyone. At this moment, there was a reaction among the Ming army captives, and an older prisoner near the side of the mound begged for mercy: "King, please let us go, there are old and young in the family, if you let the government know that we are thieves, no, no, no, we are with the king, and it will affect them!" ”

"Ask the king for mercy, the family is counting on the villain to eat and live, if you don't go back, the whole family will suffer!"

"Ask the King for Mercy ......"

Someone took the lead, and other Ming prisoners also hurriedly begged for mercy. All of a sudden, the cries of begging for mercy in the pile of captives rang out one after another.

Hu Guang on the side couldn't help but be silent when he heard this. Originally, he gathered these captives together to do ideological work for them and let them join the Righteous Army, so that with the participation of Ming soldiers and soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the Righteous Army would definitely be greatly improved.

But now, he understands that things are not as easy as he thought. These people have their own difficulties, and they don't necessarily just do ideological work and play tricks to solve them.

Of course, it is not denied that among these captives, there are still some people, and there are not necessarily family members who are dragged down. But judging from the details such as their age and clothing, most of them should have been forced to join the rebel army.

After all, once you join the rebel army, you will be against the government and rebel, which will inevitably affect your relatives and friends.

Thinking so about him, Wang Jiayin snorted heavily, interrupting the begging for mercy of these Ming army prisoners. He shouted coldly: "I want to let you go, that's a dream!" Since ancient times, soldiers and thieves have not been separated, since you don't want to follow us, then don't blame me for being rude! ”

Speaking of this, he shouted: "Come on, behead them all, hang their heads on the city, and let others see how good we are!" ”

The purpose of his doing this was to tell the victims who came to receive food that he had the strength to fight against the government, so as to attract more victims to join the rebels.

When Hu Guang heard this, his brows furrowed, but he felt that Wang Jiayin should scare them.

The surrounding rebel soldiers received the order and immediately went forward, ready to kill people.

The Ming army captives saw that something was wrong, and dozens of people hurriedly begged for mercy and asked to join the rebels.

But there were more than 300 people, although they were also begging for mercy, but they still refused to join the rebels.

The rebel soldiers stood in the pile of prisoners, turning their heads to look at Wang Jiayin, waiting for his final order.

At this time, the scene was quiet, only the north howled, blowing the flames on the torches flickering and dimming, making a gurgling sound.

I saw Wang Jiayin wave his hand, and at the same time ordered with a little anger: "Kill!" ”

At the sound of the order, the rebel soldiers did not hesitate at all, immediately raised their knives and slashed at the prisoner's neck.

"Stop!" There was a burst of shouts, like thunder, so that the righteous soldiers who carried out the order almost stopped, and turned their heads to look over in confusion.

Of course, there were also a few quick righteous soldiers who didn't have time to stop and cut off the heads of the Ming prisoners on the spot.

Hu Guangtie blushed and looked at the head that fell to the ground. Although he couldn't see that face clearly, he could also think that that face must have been scared, unwilling and missing his family.

He turned his head with a "Huo" sound, there was already a trace of anger on his face, but he still suppressed and asked Wang Jiayin: "Why did you really do it?" ”

Wang Jiayin was a little curious when she heard this, smiled at Hu Guang, and replied puzzledly: "Is this still fake?" ”

Even Hu Guang's eldest brother looked at his younger brother helplessly. It stands to reason that the second brother who is full of wisdom should not be so naïve, thinking that he is playing at home, right?

Seeing Hu Guang's childish questioning, he didn't get stuck behind Wang Jiayin, and laughed directly. However, when he saw Hu Kuan looking at him, he immediately stopped talking, but the ridicule on his face could not be concealed.

Hu Guang listened to Wang Jiayin's answer and paused for a moment. Then he became angry, and pointed at the Ming army prisoners under the knife and said: "Now they have no power to fight back, they are just prisoners, and killing them at this time is not what we should do!" ”

The killing of prisoners, not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, is a frequent occurrence. However, those who killed the prisoners naturally did not have a good evaluation. For example, Japanese devils, German devils, and so on.

As a later soul who was born and grew up under the red flag, Hu Guang could not accept this kind of killing, especially if he was also a Han Chinese.

Wang Jiayin looked at Hu Guang in surprise, he really didn't expect Hu Guang to say such a thing. After a while, he pointed at the Ming army prisoners and said, "You don't really want to let them go, do you?" ”

After asking, he felt that Hu Guang's answer must be negative, and he might say some unexpected arrangements. This is also the characteristic of readers, who have a lot of ghost ideas.

Those prisoners of the Ming army who were supposed to die also watched this scene very quietly. Even they have puzzled faces written on their faces, but there is still a hint of expectation. Their thoughts are similar to Wang Jiayin's, they have to shed their skin if they don't die anyway!

No one expected that Hu Guang would nod his head and reply loudly: "Since they are unwilling to surrender and refuse to join us, then they can only let go!" ”

This time, not to mention Wang Jiayin, including Hu Kuan, they couldn't believe their ears.

"You...... You don't have a problem with your brain, do you? Wang Jiayin asked in surprise.

At the beginning of the uprising, the strength of the rebels was still very fragile, and he cared about one more enemy and one less enemy.

Hu Kuan looked at his younger brother a little worriedly, thinking in his heart that this would be the consequence of becoming smarter, and he would become stupid, right?

Hu Guang saw their expressions and understood that his own concepts had once again conflicted with the ancients. He glanced at the more than 300 Ming prisoners, and saw the expectation and desire for life in their eyes, and made a decision in his heart.

He stood on the mound, facing Wang Jiayin, who was sitting on a horse, pointed to the group of Ming army prisoners, and said righteously: "Look at it, these are all human lives!" Behind every human life, there are still their wives and children. If they were killed, how many families would be torn apart? How many people will not even be able to live in this world because of this? ”

"Yes, they are the soldiers of the Ming army, they are our enemies, they are here to capture and kill us! On the battlefield, between us and them, it is a life-and-death relationship! But ......"
