Chapter 278: Killing the Prisoner

If eaten by an enemy.

Doesn't that mean that all the food sent out of the city is owned by the enemy?

None of these sensible commanders would agree.

Really.

When the soldiers sent by Li Xin went over to inform King Yu Cheng to provide food for these captives, King Yu Cheng directly refused with stern resignation.

In his opinion.

The people of the Qin State are treacherous and abnormal, and the food provided by these individuals will definitely be left behind by these evil Qin soldiers, and then used for their own consumption.

Therefore, he directly refused the request of the soldiers of the Qin State, refused, and provided rations for his own side, the captured soldiers.

The moment I heard the news.

Li Xin couldn't help but shake his head.

At this moment, he muttered helplessly.

"It's no wonder I'm not going to blame!"

Yes, of course, he can't be blamed for this.

After all, Dawan refused to provide food to the captives, and Li Xin could not take out his precious grain to feed these enemies and these captives who surrendered, under such circumstances.

All he had left was left, two choices.

One is to let those captives just starve.

Give them all and starve them to death.

One, is to carry out the killing of prisoners!

Starve the captives to death, Li Xin will not do this.

The reason is simple.

The process of starving the captives to death was very long, and in this long process, Li Xin and the others needed to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to take care of these captives and prevent them from rioting.

Under such circumstances, Li Xin will definitely not choose this method.

Therefore, there is only one left, the easiest way - kill the prisoners!

Killing prisoners was a very common thing in the Qin State.

Here's why.

A native of Qin, he took military merit as his title.

And the head is a military merit, although Daqin, under the persuasion of Win Changsheng, has already established the rule that a prisoner is equivalent to a military merit.

But here's the problem.

Capture is the equivalent of military merit, and that's somewhere else.

In today's Dawan, in a foreign land, there are captives who can rebel at any time.

Carrying these captives will consume the few stocks of food on their side.

That's just the stupid thing to do.

How could the generals of the Qin State do such a stupid thing?

So, I can only miserably kill these captives.

Right now, with Li Xin's order.

On the battlefield, after completing the battle, he successfully took all the weapons of the Dawan soldiers who were left on the battlefield, as well as the soldiers of the Qin army who had collected their horses.

Li Xinzheng looked at the war horse in front of him with a smile.

There are more than sixty war horses in total, which were found on the battlefield.

They are all excellent Dawan horses.

As for the rest of the horses?

was either killed, or brought into the city by Dawan's soldiers.

At this moment, Li Xin glanced at the more than sixty horses, which were not hit by the bullets of the birds, nor were they injured, and while instructing the soldiers to dig a well to get some water, and then brush the horses clean, on the other hand, with his cold gaze, he glanced at the soldiers of the Dawan Kingdom who were tied together with ropes next to him.

Immediately, he waved his hand and motioned to the army.

"Completely eliminate all the captives in batches!"

As he spoke, Li Xin said again.

"By the way, first clean up the corpses on the battlefield, and leave all the corpses of the horses!"

"Quickly, make it into jerky, these days, all the soldiers, to horse meat as the staple food!"

"Yes, save rations!"

"As for the corpses of the rest of the people, they will all dig pits and bury them!"

"Let these Dawan soldiers be responsible for digging pits, don't give them tools, prevent them from rioting, let them use them to dig, and after digging, then completely deal with them, understand?"

"Understood!"

For a while, all the soldiers shouted one after another.

There is also a reason why pits are still being dug and the bodies are buried.

Because a large number of corpses, if not buried, will lead to a consequence.

That is, it will cause the army to be infected with plague.

In such a situation.

A pit must be dug to prevent this from happening.

Therefore, Li Xin's order seems to be normal.

The captives outside the city thought that the soldiers of the Qin army had asked them to dig pits in order to bury the bodies of their dead compatriots.

They acted quickly, and before dark, they finished digging the pit, and with the corpses, they were thrown into the pit, just when all the captives of Dawan were ready to take a breath, rest for a while, and beg these soldiers of the Qin State to give them some water to drink and some to eat.

Suddenly, these soldiers of the Qin State suddenly waved the weapons in their hands and slashed at their bodies.

For a time, the unarmed captives were quickly dealt with.

After throwing their bodies into the mass grave.

The soldiers of the Qin State began to bury them, and when they were properly buried.

All the soldiers walked to the well dug in the distance.

Then, as soon as possible, use the cool well water that has just been dug out and continuously pressed out through the horsepower water pressure to wash your body.

The Western Regions are full of drought and water shortage.

However, this problem is not a problem after arriving in Dawan.

Because Dawan is an agricultural country.

They have a large number of oases here, and under the oases, they can't dig very deep to dig out a lot of groundwater.

Therefore, after defeating these Dawan troops, the soldiers of the Qin army quickly exerted their excellent skills, and then successfully dug one well after another on the ground.

Immediately, open-air baths were set up near these wells, and all the soldiers began to take a bath.

In the Western Regions, after a long march, this is the first time they have been so happy, bathing in cool water.

This is for them.

It's quite a rare enjoyment.

When the soldiers of the Qin army were bathing, rejoicing, and then eating the fragrant boiled horse meat stewed from the corpse of Dawan horse.

Located in the city, King Yu Cheng, who witnessed the slaughter of the soldiers under his command, was angry, and he wanted to lead the army out and fight to the death with those soldiers from the Qin State.

But reason told him he couldn't do that.

Because, once he did this, the last army of the Great Wan Kingdom, the more than 7,000 soldiers who withdrew into the city, will all die under the sword of the Qin army.

After all, the strength of the Qin army, he had seen it before.

There are so many armies, none of them are the opponents of the Qin army, and now in this city, which has just experienced a crushing defeat, how can the thousands of soldiers under the soldiers defeat the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Great Qin Empire outside the city?

Taking the initiative to attack, probably not much different from sending to death!
