Chapter 948: A Misunderstanding

In the valley, where more than 10,000 Cao soldiers were originally stationed, dead bodies were piled up everywhere.

The blood on the ground has soaked the dirt, and walking in the valley, the slimy blood on the feet will make a soft "pop" sound.

Li Ji rode a war horse and walked in the valley one after the other with the generals who accompanied him to lead the army.

In front of them, there were pieces of Cao Jun who had been killed.

Broken arms and stumps were thrown everywhere, and because there were so many dead Cao Jun, it was no longer possible to identify who the owners of those broken arms were.

"General Qiqi!" Just as Li Ji was walking in the valley where a massacre had just taken place, a soldier of the Qin army covered in blood quickly ran up to him, clutched his fists, looked up at him on horseback and said: "There are still many Cao soldiers who were only seriously injured and did not die, dare to ask the general how to deal with it?" ”

"How many?" Looking down at the soldier, Li Ji asked lightly.

"About two or three thousand people!" Maintaining a fist-hugging posture, Qin Jun replied.

Turning his head to look at the partial general beside him, Li Ji groaned slightly, and then said to the soldier: "Kill them all, not a single one will be left!" ”

"No!" After getting Li Ji's order, the soldier answered.

Just as he turned around to leave, Li Ji stopped him again: "Wait! ”

Hearing Li Ji call him, the soldier hurriedly stopped turning around, faced him, clenched his fists and bowed quietly for further orders.

"Kill all these Cao soldiers and tell the soldiers, I can only say to the outside world that all the Cao soldiers were killed in this battle, and don't mention the slaughter afterwards!" His eyes narrowed slightly, and a touch of fierceness flashed in Li Ji's eyes, and he gave an order to the soldier.

"No!" Answering again, the soldier took two steps back, then turned and left.

"Kill them all?" When the soldier left, the general beside Li Ji whispered: "General Li is like this, but there are some ......."

"With so many Cao Jun wounded, our army has no food and grass to raise!" Turning his head to look at the partial general, Li Ji sighed lightly and said: "This general can't bear to kill them, but if you don't kill them, first, it will consume our army's food and grass, and if they heal from their injuries, they may stab me in the back." Rather than the soldiers being killed by them, it is better to clean them up! ”

Li Ji's words didn't say anything more about what the general said.

The general knew very well that Wei Yan led the army into Xuzhou in order to come to the rescue of Liu Bei.

If many prisoners of war are left in the army, in addition to spending a lot of food and grass to feed these prisoners of war, they must also be prepared for prisoners of war to rebel at any time.

In such a situation, there is really no way to kill all the Cao Jun's wounded.

Many Qin soldiers are cleaning up the battlefield, and the so-called cleaning up the battlefield is nothing more than digging a huge deep pit and throwing all those who died into the pit.

After Li Ji gave the order, some of the other Qin troops ran towards the Cao army who were wounded but did not die.

In the massacre carried out by the Qin army, many Cao soldiers were cut off their hands and feet, but they did not die, and more were chopped to the point of injury, but they did not die.

These Cao troops were found by the soldiers of the Qin army when they were cleaning up the battlefield, and they were gathered in one place, waiting for Li Ji's disposal.

For the captured Cao Jun, their lives were only at the mercy of Li Ji's thoughts.

Today, they are obviously not lucky, and Li Ji has already made up his mind to kill them all.

A pair of Qin soldiers ran towards these Cao army prisoners, and more than a hundred Qin soldiers ran to the captives, and they didn't choose, two people who were very random set up one and ran towards a little farther away.

The Cao army, who was erected by the Qin army, was dragged forward in horror one by one, waiting for the doom that was about to befall them.

Those who were not captured by the Cao army watched some of their companions being dragged away by the Qin army, and they did not know what the fate of those people was.

Dragging the first batch of Cao army captives, these more than 100 Qin soldiers dragged them to a freshly dug pit.

Seeing a deep pit appear in front of him, Cao Jun, who was already clever, knew that they would be slaughtered, and immediately let out a wail.

Regardless of the wails of the Cao army, the Qin army that supported them dragged them to the edge of the pit and pressed them one by one to kneel on the edge of the pit.

The Cao prisoners knelt in front of the pit in a straight line, and most of them were unable to move due to their injuries and fear.

However, there were still a few people who had just been pressed by the Qin army and knelt down on the edge of the pit, and immediately jumped up, shouting in despair, trying to escape from the edge of the pit.

A Cao Jun who had a leg cut off in the battle, just been pressed to the ground by two Qin soldiers, he got up with a bone, I don't know what kind of force supported him, he actually stood up on one leg.

The Cao Jun let out a terrible wail, and at the same time, he jumped on one of his only legs and tried to escape from the edge of the pit.

As soon as he jumped two or three times on one leg, a soldier of the Qin army had already rushed behind him, holding the Pu knife in both hands, and slashed the blade towards his leg.

With the slash of the soldiers of the Qin army, the only remaining leg of the Cao army was also cut off by the middle of the hard Qi with the sword light.

The one-legged was cut off by Qin Jun's knife, and Cao Jun's body hung in the air for a while, and then fell heavily to the ground under the action of gravity.

Lacking his legs, he had just fallen to the ground, and he grabbed the ground with both hands, trying to escape from the clutches of death.

But the Qin army had already decided to kill them, and where would they watch him escape.

The two soldiers of the Qin army couldn't help but speak, stepped forward, picked up the Cao army, and dragged him to the edge of the deep pit.

Without his legs, Cao Jun would definitely not be able to kneel, and a Qin soldier twisted him and let his head hang over the deep pit, but his body was still on the edge of the pit.

was twisted by the soldiers of the Qin army, and Cao Jun, who had lost his legs, was still wailing and struggling.

After only two struggles, a Qin soldier on the side had already picked up the Pu knife and slashed at his neck.

The howl came to an abrupt end, and a head tumbled and fell into the pit as a stream of blood shot out.

After killing that Cao Jun, Qin Jun, who had twisted him earlier, grabbed the corpse's wrist and threw it forward.

As Qin Jun pushed forward, the corpse, which had no arms and legs, rolled and fell into the pit.

Along with this Cao Jun, who lost his legs, several other Cao Jun who wanted to escape were also killed.

All the Cao soldiers who were killed had their heads cut off, and because they were taken to the edge of the pit, the corpses and heads were thrown into the pit along with their heads.

Several Cao soldiers who tried to escape were hacked and thrown into the pit on the spot, and those Cao Jun who knelt on the ground and did not flee only survived for a few more moments.

Killing Cao Jun who was trying to escape, the soldiers of the Qin army walked behind those Cao Jun who were still kneeling with their knives, picked up their knives, and cut off their heads one by one.

Cao Jun was taken to the pit in batches, and in a huge pit, it was soon filled with corpses with separated heads and torsos.

From launching the battle to cleaning up the battlefield, the Qin army only lasted for an hour.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the ground under his feet was still very sticky, but the corpses in the valley had already been cleaned up by the soldiers of the Qin army.

In the darkness of the night, as far as the eye could see, there was not even a single corpse in sight.

However, this does not mean that all the corpses have been completely cleaned up, after all, the slaughter was very fierce, and many Cao soldiers were cut to pieces in this massacre.

Their stumps were scattered everywhere, looking for arm by arm, and Qin Jun didn't have so much energy.

Riding on horseback and looking around the valley where the soldiers of the Qin army stood everywhere, General Li Ji waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Attack the Qin army stationed outside the city!" ”

When Li Ji shouted such a sentence, all the soldiers of the Qin army were stunned.

Attack the Qin army?

Including the partial generals beside Li Ji, every Qin army looked at Li Ji with a suspicious face, not knowing what he wanted to do.

"General Li, what do you mean?" The general standing beside Li Ji frowned tightly, his hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, and a pair of suspicious eyes stared at him without blinking, and asked coldly.

With the general's question, some Qin soldiers also clenched the Pu knife in their hands tightly.

Li Ji led them to fight with the Cao army, and they would never hesitate to give orders, and even when they gave the order to kill the Cao army prisoners, all the Qin troops acted in full accordance with the orders.

But at the moment, Li Ji said that he was going to attack the Qin army outside Xiaopei City, which really made the Qin soldiers present a little busy in their hearts.

The soldiers of the Qin army were absolutely loyal to Liu Wei, and it was absolutely impossible for them to betray Great Qin.

If Li Ji really had the intention of attacking the Qin army outside Xiaopei City, the Qin army soldiers present would definitely rush up and kill him on the spot.

Finding that the atmosphere suddenly became tense, Li Ji raised his face and smiled, and then said to the partial general and the surrounding Qin army soldiers: "This is a matter that General Ben and General Wei have discussed, I will wait outside the city, just shout and kill, mix with the army outside the city, make a fight with the army outside the city, and lead the Cao army in the city out of the city to fight!" ”

Hearing Li Ji say this, the partial general who had already pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword breathed a sigh of relief, grinned, and said with some embarrassment: "General Li didn't say it earlier, and the general almost misunderstood!" ”

Clenching his fists with both hands and arching towards the void, Li Ji said with a straight face: "Since I, Li Ji, joined the Qin army, I have received the grace of His Highness, and I am no longer as miserable as when I was bullied in the past!" His Royal Highness treats a certain kindness like a mountain, how can a certain disobedient to Daqin? ”

Li Ji's words happened to speak to the hearts of every Qin army present.

These soldiers of the Qin Army, many of them were bullied by others in the past, and their lives were very miserable, since they followed Liu Wei, their relatives have fields and real estate, and they really straighten their waists and behave!
