"Haha, refreshing, refreshing! Zilong, you have made a great contribution this time, and after returning to the dynasty, you will definitely play Your Majesty and ask for credit for you. Li Cunxiao laughed wildly, hugged Zhao Yun's shoulder, and laughed.

Eighteen horsemen broke through the city, Zhao Yun's battle can be said to have made a great achievement, and the first soldiers in the army all admired Zhao Yun from their hearts, especially after learning that he was a single man and a single gun, and he was even more admired by the enemy's three master monks.

Even Song Jiang, this kid, let go of his disbelief and gave Zhao Yun a thumbs up in his heart.

At the same time, Song Jiang also secretly swore that he would work hard for the Qin State. Otherwise, there will be more and more generals under His Majesty Ji Kao, and his own small ability will sooner or later be far behind by other generals.

In the face of the worship of many armor soldiers, Zhao Yun was still indifferent, but his pretty face was slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed.

At this moment, after capturing the city, Li Cunxiao ordered to clean up the battlefield and collect the surrendered defenders, while secretly laying an ambush, waiting for the arrival of Jiang Wenhuan's southward army, preparing to make a move according to Zhao Yun's strategy...... Catch a turtle in an urn.

You must know that the army sent south by Jiang Wenhuan this time includes the generals Gu Tan, Yao Zhan, and the famous Demon Suppressor Heavenly Master in Donglu, with a total of 100,000 troops and 30,000 monks, and the power is extremely huge.

Such an army, relying solely on the 50,000 Qin army led by Li Cunxiao, although it is not afraid and has absolute confidence to completely defeat it, but it will definitely have to pay a heavy price.

Although Li Cunxiao, as a general, knows the truth of 'one general succeeds and ten thousand bones are dry', and knows that there are countless dead in the world. But in the final analysis, the 50,000 Qin troops under his command were all trained by himself, not to mention that they were all like brothers, but they also had a lot of feelings, how could they watch their sons die in battle?

If he could, Li Cunxiao desperately hoped that he could take Jiang Wenhuan's southward army without spending a single soldier just like he would break the city tonight.

But is it possible?

The answer is...... No way!

Behind any claim to the great cause of kingship, there are mountains of corpses and bones, and there are countless unknown brothers who have dedicated their lives and buried their bones on the battlefield.

Aren't they afraid of death?

They are afraid, but they are not afraid.

What they fear is that their families, their wives and daughters, and their descendants will be enslaved and live in fear for generations. What they are afraid of is that they did not die on the battlefield to defend their homeland, but died under the oppression of an incompetent and mediocre monarch.

They are not afraid to die on the battlefield for Mingjun, and they are not afraid to spill their blood and throw their heads for the peace of the world.

They are only afraid...... There is no value in dying on your own.

Therefore, as men, they stood up, picked up their blades, and followed behind the benevolent and righteous Qin Emperor, even if they died, they died willingly.

After taking a deep breath, Li Cunxiao's gaze swept over the cheeks of many Qin soldiers under his command, looking at the smiles on their faces, looking at the faces of some of them who were even immature like children, and sighed secretly in his heart, revealing a trace of tenderness in his tiger eyes.

This point is what Li Cunxiao, and even all the generals of the Qin State, are different from other forces. It is also the difference between Ji Kao, and even the entire Qin State and other forces.

It is said that immortals are benevolent and righteous, and they are kind at heart, but when they are intriguing, they regard the world as pigs and dogs. is just a god-sealing chessboard, and I don't know how many people have been harmed.

This benevolence ...... Bullshit!

In the words of the bald crane, it is not even a single hair of the grandfather of the crane.

At this moment, the sky was even darker, and even if the army of the Qin State was stationed everywhere in the city and lit torches, it would be difficult to drive away the darkness.

In the darkness, there were everywhere the soldiers who knelt down and surrendered, and as for the people in the city, they closed their doors tightly, and every house covered up the curtains and windows, and even children did not dare to cry, for fear of angering the city-breaking army.

You must know that in the chaos of war, if the city is broken, the first thing the armor soldiers will do is to scrape the people's houses and rob the people's daughters to vent their anger. And many princes, in order to completely control their armor soldiers to work for them, will not care about these at all. The more fun a soldier plays, the harder he works.

"General, there are too many armored soldiers who have surrendered, there are about 15,000 people, and we are afraid that we will not have enough troops to suppress them. Now that the war is imminent, keeping these armor soldiers is afraid of accidents. ”

At this moment, Song Jiang frowned and came to report.

Li Cunxiao also frowned when he heard this, indeed, in the march, the most taboo and disgusting thing is to take prisoners. Not only should they take care of their food, but they must also be guarded to prevent riots.

At present, Jiang Wenhuan's southward army is imminent, and the more than 10,000 captives in this city are indeed a thorny problem.

Seeing Li Cunxiao frowning and embarrassed, Song Jiang said in a low voice: "General, these defenders are useless to stay, and there is even more trouble, it is better to kill them together, how about it?"

Li Cunxiao was furious when he heard this, and rebuked with a solemn face: "Ridiculous! My Qin army is a benevolent and righteous army, and it is not merciful to kill and surrender. If you kill this unarmed soldier, won't you make the people of the world laugh and think that our Qin army is a brutal army?"

Song Jiang frowned, and hurriedly spoke again: "General, Jiang Wenhuan's hand is not my race, his heart will be different! If these captives take advantage of the opportunity when Jiang Wenhuan's army is coming, our army will suffer losses. It's better to cut through the mess quickly and cut off future troubles!"

It's not that Song Jiang is ruthless, his approach is actually very correct.

You must know that in Chinese history, Xiang Yu once killed more than 200,000 Qin troops, and Bai Qi even killed 400,000 Zhao troops in Changping, which is a terrifying number.

When Your Majesty came to the capital from the east, he ambushed more than 100,000 prisoners? Have you ever seen Your Majesty kill them? Your Majesty has a saying: 'The way is virtuous, and all are courteous, and knowing their hunger and cold, and observing their hardships, this is called benevolence'. Although I, Li Cunxiao, am a reckless man, I will not do such a thing. The order was sent to take the prisoners and send 5,000 guards to guard them. After the war, if there are those who return to their hearts, they will be disrupted and incorporated under their command, and if they want to return to the field, they will be given money and let them go. ”

Song Jiang sighed when he heard this, but the general had an order, and he had to listen to it, so he immediately took the order and left.

However, Li Cunxiao's 'benevolent general' move immediately touched the hearts of many surrendered soldiers. These armor soldiers originally thought that they would definitely die, but when they saw that the Qin army was just taking themselves and others into custody and giving them food and drinking water, they were immediately extremely moved, and they didn't dare to mess around, so they stayed honestly in the place where they were detained.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, the sky had begun to light slightly, the morning mist was filled, and Hefeng City, which was in the middle of the mountain range, was suddenly overwhelmed by a thin white mist.

In the face of such a sky, the Qin army, which was facing Jiang Wenhuan's army moving south to the city tower, did not dare to slack off at all, and waited for it.

But at this moment, in the mountains in the distance, there was a strange 'click' sound, and at the same time, it seemed that someone was singing and dancing in the fog, and there was the sound of intermittent women singing, and the atmosphere was weird, making people's scalps tingle.
