Hearing that Meng Ge had surrendered, the women's army who were exhausted from the long-distance attack were relieved, and Yu Muhuai also let out a long breath.

It is naturally best not to fight.

The country needs proper recuperation so that its citizens can increase their population and increase food production.

Having enough to eat, drink enough, and dress warmly is the most important thing for people's livelihood.

It was only in the past ten years that the Yuanchang Kingdom gradually weakened the power of the vassal king and restored its national strength, and the necessary wars must be fought and fought beautifully. But it is a good thing that wars are not necessary, and they are avoided.

.....

A soldier who surrenders without a fight is the best strategy of a soldier.

The previous battle had already scared Mongona, and they were willing to surrender, which was undoubtedly the best result for the Yuanchang Kingdom.

Li Cheng and Cen Xiang naturally agreed happily.

However, Li Cheng said that it was necessary for Longshang City to open the city gates, welcome the Yuanchang troops into the city, and wash the dust for them in the city lord's mansion, allowing them to station military camps in the city.

Several of Menggona's envoys looked at each other a few times, discussed it, and then agreed to Li Cheng's request.

Li Yuanyuan lost her right arm and was seriously injured, so she stayed in Luohuai City, where the military doctor bandaged her and medicated, and she could not move freely for the time being.

At this time, Yu Muhuai happily rode on horseback, followed behind Cen Xiang, and marched towards Longshang City, which was close at hand.

Liu Xiaoduo rode on Yu Muhuai's side, and the two supported them all the way, as if they had become the closest comrades-in-arms.

Liu Xiaoduo and Li Yuanyuan are relatives, and they both saved Yu Muhuai's life. Yu Muhuai decided to try his best to protect the two of them before leaving this world.

"Xiaomeng, we have won the battle, right?" Liu Xiaoduo on the side asked excitedly.

Yu Muhuai nodded, "The other party has surrendered, but it's a big victory!" ”

Liu Xiaoduo's eyes lit up, "Wow! If I win the battle, I will get a lot of silver! I took the money and sent it to my father and mother, as well as my younger brothers and sisters, and they will be able to live a good life! ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, and was a little sad, "But Yuan Yuan's hand may not be able to go to the battlefield again in the future, I, I am a little uncomfortable....."

Yu Muhuai pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Xiao Duo, don't worry, I don't lack silver, and all the money I get will be given to Yuanyuan." I will find my brother to take care of her life in the future. ”

Liu Xiaoduo scratched her hair a little embarrassed, "I didn't mean this when I mentioned our garden, Xiaomeng, don't get me wrong." Although we are poor, we are all ambitious, and we will not easily ask you for money. ”

Yu Muhuai just wanted to explain, saying that she didn't have any intention of charity, but saw a sudden riot in front of her.

At this time, the Yuanchang troops had all entered Longshang City, and there were many civilians from Mengona on both sides.

Some of them were still holding children, and most of them were dressed in tatters, and their faces were so dirty that they couldn't see their faces clearly. These onlookers looked at the Yuanchang army that was coming with timidity in their eyes.

The buildings of Longshang City are all made of rammed earth, which is suitable for the long-term cold weather in the north, simple and rough.

The people of Mengge were short of materials, and food and clothing were problematic, so they would march to Luohuai City at the instigation of Bei Liang.

Their poor conditions are evident in the appearance of the people.

However, before Yu Muhuai could carefully observe these ordinary people in Menggena, he saw that a miserable scream had sounded in front of him, and his corpse fell to the ground.

Yu Muhuai looked ahead in disbelief, it was the Anbei Army led by Li Cheng who wielded the knife!

It turned out that Li Cheng only pretended to agree to Meng Gena's surrender, and after entering Longshang City without a single soldier, he immediately waved a butcher's knife at the ordinary people around him.

After treachery, Li Cheng wanted to slaughter all the people in Longshang City, kill and plunder the female cadres, and rob the already small amount of property.

The Mongo army reacted, and rushed over with red eyes and roars, wanting to fight to the death against these untrustworthy despicables and protect their people.

However, having lost the barrier of the city wall of Longshang City, the Anbei army, which had been driving straight in, was like a grim reaper, wielding a sickle and reaping their lives.

"Li Cheng! What do you mean by that? Cen Xiang was stunned, she flicked her horsewhip and rushed out of the women's army. rode forward, came to Li Cheng's side, shouted and scolded, and asked loudly.

"Hmph, what do you mean? Can't you see that? Li Cheng glanced at Cen Xiang and replied nonchalantly.

After finishing speaking, Li Cheng no longer looked at Cen Xiang, but turned his head to face the bloody scene of slaughtering innocent people in front of him, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Cen Xiang was furious, "The other party has already surrendered, why do you want to make a big move?" Even if you still attack innocent people, do you still want to slaughter the city? ”

"That's right! Lao Tzu just wants to kill these ants!

Oh, innocent people? These people are all accomplices who intend to invade Luohuai City, where are they innocent? Cen Xiang, you women are really women's kindness. I see that after you go back this time, you should take care of the children at home and don't come out! ”

After speaking, Li Cheng and the generals around him couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.

"Li Cheng! Don't think I don't know your intentions! The battle merit of the siege is far greater than the battle merit of the other party's surrender, and you are fighting nothing more than this idea, and you want to use it to invite merit! For the sake of your advancement, will you have to pay the lives of these people? ”

The surroundings were too noisy, and Yu Muhuai could only hear Cen Xiang's voice intermittently.

At this time, the entire Longshang City was filled with mournful howls and mournful screams, who would have expected that Yuanchangguo, which has always prided itself as a state of etiquette, would take the lead in breaking the agreement and doing such a rebellious and inhumane thing.

The unarmed civilians scattered and fled, but they had no way to outrun the well-trained soldiers.

The sound of weapons passing through the robe continued to sound, and the voices of wailing and begging for mercy came and went.

Because of the lack of preparation, the Mengona soldiers did not even release their horses, lost the advantage of cavalry combat, and could only resist the iron hooves and weapons of the Anbei army with their physical bodies.

However, in the face of a vast army that is prepared, such an obstacle is only a drop in the bucket. The soldiers could only watch as the people behind them were humiliated, killed, and robbed.

Yu Muhuai's face was unbearable, and the reward for the success of the siege was far more than the reward received by the other party for surrendering. Such a unilateral massacre was not for victory, but for the selfish desires of Li Cheng's Anbei army.

Yu Muhuai, who had been trying to hear Cen Xiang's conversation clearly, didn't notice that Liu Xiaoduo beside him was gone.

....

In the distance, a mother holding a child hurriedly dodged the butcher's knife of the Anbei Army, but it was only in vain.

She was held down by several soldiers, her clothes were torn, her mouth was gagged, and she could only let out unwilling whimpers, struggling under the aggression of the soldiers.

The month-old child broke away from his mother's arms and cried at the throat.

The noise was so loud that the soldiers lifted the toddler and prepared to throw it to the ground.

"What for?!"

A few soldiers looked up, only to see a small woman on a horse, with an honest face, frowning at them, and shouting to stop them.
