Chapter 226: Troubled Times: Disposing of Prisoners

cough cough cough ......

After Li Jing took the yellow-robed camp, he ordered his soldiers to raid the yellow-robed camp inside and out.

"Big brother, it's all cleaned! Is it possible to retreat now? Li Xiaozhi walked over with a stunned smile.

Well!

Li Jing nodded indifferently, and then said: "Our army can't retreat for the time being, and there should be 30,000 troops stationed in the Huangpao camp, but we are now only destroying more than 20,000, and there are thousands of men and horses, who are burning and plundering outside." ”

"I don't think it's permissible for this herd of animals to hurt the people any more! What's more! I have issued a military order to the king, I will destroy the 30,000 troops in the yellow robe, and now there are thousands of fewer people, and the task has not been completed, so I cannot retreat. ”

Li Xiaozhi understood, "Since the eldest brother wants to fight, the two sky-shaking hammers in the hands of the second brother will open the way for the eldest brother." ”

Indifferently!

It's better to be your own brother! Li Jing was slightly moved, "Filial piety, four thousand soldiers and horses on the hour, you and I brothers, we will kill from evening to dawn, and my Li family soldiers will be invincible because of what they want!" ”

"No!"

Li Xiaozhi immediately went down and counted the troops and horses.

And Li Jing is the deputy general, leading more than 600 Qin soldiers to escort 8,000 yellow-robed troops back to Mu County, in addition! More than 300 corpses of Qin soldiers were to be transported back to Mu County safe and unharmed and handed over to the King of Qin.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night, and the base camp of Buzhi is set up here, and the yellow-robed army sent out to collect food will not be able to go far.

At this time, in Mu County, there was a peaceful place, the first battle was won, everyone was happy, Bai Qi and Zhang Han led the army and returned to the camp.

In the middle of the night, Dongfang Yu held an emergency meeting.

Xu Meng, Liu Wenqin, Hu Xiaoyue, Yu Wenhu, Peng Tai, Ma Dai, Bai Qi, Zhang Han, and more than Jia Kun, the county guard of Mu County who reported on the situation in Wanzhou.

"King, 50,000 troops of Zhang Kun in Wanzhou City, 30,000 troops in Lelang County, 100,000 troops in Qiaole in Nanyang County, and the rest of the people, scattered all around, yellow robes all over the place, that is, thirty miles away from Mu County, there is also a yellow robe camp, with a total strength of 30,000, this is the current situation in Wanzhou." Jia Kun reported.

Hahaha~

Jia Kun retreated to the rear.

There was a burst of laughter in the hall.

Jia Kun wondered why he was laughing, could it be that he said the wrong thing.

Xu Meng said: "Jia County Shou, you may not know that in the yellow-robed camp thirty miles away, the king has already sent his generals Li Jing and Li Xiaozhi to crusade. Estimate! News will be available tomorrow by noon. ”

Oh~

"I see!" Jia Kun exhaled lightly, thinking that he had said the wrong thing.

But! The 30,000 yellow-robed battalion, the army that went to crusade should also have tens of thousands!

And at this time, the soldiers sent back by Li Jing to report the situation also sent the news back.

"Report! King Qiqi, General Li Jing's pre-war messenger! ”

Dongfang Yu's eyes lit up, "Let him in." ”

Sending people back so soon, it is difficult to solve the battle.

"Meet the King!"

"Hmm!"

"How's Li Jing doing?" Dongfang Yu asked indifferently.

The soldier reported: "King Qiyu, General Li Jing led 5,000 troops, and within two hours, destroyed the Huangpao battalion, annihilated 12,000 enemies, captured 8,000, and weighed countless grains and grasses, and our army died 321 in battle, and the corpses have been transported back to Mu County. ”

Boy!

This one is fiercer than the other!

"Where is your general now?" Dongfang Yu asked.

"The general said that the yellow-robed battalion originally had 30,000 troops, but the actual enemy was only more than 20,000, and there were thousands of troops, fleeing! Old! The general told me to wait for the first return, and after knowing the reason, he led 4,000 soldiers and horses to pursue him. ”

Well!

"The army will return to the camp first, you should retreat first!"

"No!"

Dongfang Yu and the generals were expressionless and unwavering, as if all this was taken for granted.

At that time, in the battle of Beimen Pass, Li Jing used 15,000 people to destroy the Huerhuo army, and his prestige spread all over the grassland. And the combat effectiveness of the Liao army is not the yellow-robed army, which can be compared. A well-trained regular army is basically incomparable with a ragtag army of civilians.

Combat effectiveness, naturally, is not a grade.

The most surprising thing is Jia Kun, 5,000 battles against 20,000, and only more than 300 people were killed, is it! Is this the difference between a regular army and a local army?

Or rather! Is the world-famous Qin army really so strong?

Jia Kun didn't dare to imagine that such a powerful army would sweep away the yellow-robed army in Wanzhou, but it would be wiped out with a wave of his hand.

"Alright! Now let's talk about the captives, whether to kill or release, let's make up our minds! Dongfang Yu's gaze swept over everyone.

Bai Qi took a step forward and said: "With the eight thousand prisoners of General Li Jing, our army already has fourteen thousand prisoners, before that, when the army set off, our army did not even have enough food for itself in addition to making up for a month's food in the place, so what could we do to feed these prisoners!" ”

Zhang Han also echoed: "King, our army has intercepted a lot of grain and grass, but for a long time, it is still not enough to feed a large number of yellow-robed prisoners. And! Most of the prisoners in the yellow robe are ordinary people, and the battle is weak, even if they are incorporated into logistics, with the training standards of our army, they may not be able to march long distances, and the general thinks! Or should be killed. ”

Truly! The logistics of the army are particularly important, especially the logistics support of the Qin army. Don't underestimate this small logistics army, in the Qin army, the training intensity of logistics soldiers is about the same as that of regular soldiers.

Most of them are killed.

But Liu Wenqin was different, and took a step forward, "The king, the last general feels that the captives should not be killed." ”

"Oh~"

"Why?"

Dongfang Yu squinted his eyes and couldn't help but glance at him.

Liu Wenqin continued: "One: the king didn't want to kill, so he asked; Second: The Yellow Robe Army is mostly ordinary people, and there are many young and strong young people, if the king can organize these people into an army, or escort them back to Beiliang, it is tantamount to a good thing for Beiliang. ”

"Third: Most of the yellow-robed army is demagoguery, and the king crusades against the rebellious army with the army of justice, when it is both soft and hard, and when it is killed, it is for deterrence; When it is released, it is for the sake of mercy, and under such a combination of soft and hard, the Yellow Robe Army cannot really buy his life for the Dahua Sect......"

This kid, you can see it well, huh? To have such an opinion is worthy of the general I fancied!

Truly! If it is only for killing, and all those who surrender are killed, then it will be difficult to carry out the subsequent crusade war. After all! Everyone is here to live, who wants to die!

"Liu Wenqin is right, the treatment of prisoners must be both soft and hard. Alone. ”

"In addition, the crusade against the yellow robe, the lonely order to explain, before the army fights, can say that those who surrender will fall, and they cannot be warned, take the first time as an example, and then those who do not surrender will be killed."

"No!"

In doing so, Dongfang Yu has his own reasons, the first time is to give a warning, to give the enemy a chance to surrender; Then the first time you go through the latter, and then you want to surrender, then you will kill them all.

Otherwise, everyone can surrender if they can't fight, there is no deterrence, no fear, do you really think that his Qin army camp is open?
