Chapter Ninety-Three: The Release of the Prisoners of War

When the day dawned, the grass in front of the camp gate was stained red with blood, and the Fifth Patrol cavalry took over the defense of the main gate and buried the corpse according to the order of the head of Qiu Biao, not to mention how aggrieved he was.

Qin Rufeng escorted the messenger back to the camp, and the cavalry patrol was commanded by Li Longbow, and when he prepared his team and rushed to the camp gate, the escort team walked over with a long list of prisoners with a smile, and Zhuo Zhuo greeted him from afar: "Li Longbow, your cavalry infantry is too slow, and the enemy has run more than ten miles away." Li Longbow hung his face and ignored it, and the herald arrived just in time, leaving the war horse to clean up the battlefield, and he was angry and didn't have a good face to show Zhuo.

Chasing the convoy, the people were sleepy and had to rest for half the night, and the result was a complete victory for the brothers' standard team and the escort team, and the elite cavalry who rushed to the camp first became miscellaneous servants to clean up the battlefield, and several inspectors rolled up their sleeves and scolded while directing the brothers to work.

"Bullshit Prairie Warriors, what do you say about riding and shooting, you actually did the business of stealing the camp, and when you see the situation, you can slip faster than a rabbit. ”

The cavalry of the Fifth Patrol came from three standard teams, and one of the patrol commanders took over the conversation and mocked Excellence: "Less proud, clean up the miscellaneous pieces of stealing chickens and dogs, it is not a skill, wait for the enemy to launch a frontal attack, dare to see who kills more enemies?"

"You're stupid to me, I'll try to charge with you. Excellence was not fooled, kicked at the leader of the captive, a sturdy grassland man, scolded a few words and struggled, the two guards went up and slapped a few times, beating the captive with a nose and mouth bleed, Excellence looked at Li Changgong and smiled: "See, this is the head of the tribe, the second leader who is responsible for the battle, you really want to compete, that's okay, catch one back, if you can catch a chief, I am willing to admit defeat." ”

"How can we have time to capture prisoners when we charge, aren't you fooling yourself?"

Outstanding deliberately angry with them: "If you can't do it, shut up, you know the standard of combat merit rewards, a prisoner tops three heads, hehe, kill three sect leaders when charging, at best, it will be a tie with me, is it possible? ”

Douzui still suffered, several inspectors sprinkled their anger on the enemy's corpse, and did not forget to poke the hole with a knife when burying it, and his subordinates intensified when they saw the situation, and in the distance in front of the camp gate, two large pits were dug out, and the head and limbs were buried together, and the body was buried separately, and hundreds of enemies were separated after death.

"If we die in battle, the enemy will not bury it kindly, let the wild wolves gnaw on it, saying that it is to repay the kindness of the grassland desert, you can't even get rid of the corpse, and when you fight, your hand will be gone, and if you lose your life, you will also affect the brothers in the same team. ”

The passing guards added fuel to the fire: "He said it quite peacefully, after the female soldiers die in battle, those beasts will be ravaged, not to mention the captives, it is better to live than to die." ”

"Quickly bury it, go to the standard chief when it is finished, the enemy has retreated, we will take the initiative to attack, let a group of rabble block the way, and spreading it will make the sunset mercenaries laugh off their big teeth. ”

"This inspector is right, the prairie people are scared to death when they see the mercenaries, but they laugh at you for the weakness of the soldiers, do you know why?" An elderly guard captain slashed the back of the prisoner on the shoulder as he spoke, laughing and giving the answer: "Just because you are too merciful and not as fierce as the mercenaries, little brothers, only when you beat them and are afraid, will you remember to be grateful." ”

In front of the camp gate, the anger of the cadets rose, the desire to fight was high, and their hands and feet became sharper, and they all wanted to complete the battle as soon as possible, and make a name for themselves with the blood of the enemy.

In the Chinese military tent, Gao Yuan proposed to exchange prisoners of war, the two standard commanders had no opinion, and the scouts made a great contribution, and they must not see death without saving, but when he said the detailed plan, the Qiu standard chief slapped on the table, and the map and documents jumped wildly, and the other standard commander was unfamiliar with it, and he was also angry and round-eyed.

"More than 300 captives have all been released, and when this is your family's private property, you can dispose of it as you want. I don't know, then let me tell you, 63 of the cadets were killed in the battle, 187 were wounded, more than 30 were seriously wounded and lost their combat strength, and the guards were also killed and wounded more than 100. Release them all and go and speak to the brothers who died in battle, and bring them back to life, whatever you want. ”

After Gao Yuan and the other standard commander finished shouting, he handed over the water cup with both hands, and patiently persuaded him: "Coach, the pro-guard team is dead and wounded, and the enemy camp is still hanging my people, as an orphan soldier, I am even more heartbroken when my partner is killed or injured, and there will be no mercy in the fight, but the battle is over, and the prisoners are no longer the enemy." ”

"Captain Gao, the prisoners no longer hurt people, because there are soldiers to take care of them, you release them all, change their clothes and run to continue the battle, and there will be students who fall under the swords and guns. Should the living go to the enemy for revenge, or settle the account on you?"

Qiu Biao Chang took the lead in making trouble, and the other standard chief was not polite, if he didn't know that Gao Yuan was a confidant of the county lord Dugu Ying, the relationship between the two was inseparable, and he had already punched his fist in the face, and there were more than 200 dead and wounded in a battle last night, all of them were subordinate soldiers, you don't care about my cold heart, release the captives and return to the mountain, and then catch it and let it go, there is no end, when this is a childhood game, you can start again if you lose.

"Commander, there is no personal enmity between the two armies, if you really want to take revenge, you should go to those decision-makers in the temple, they started the war, and there are dead and wounded. ”

The standard commander shouted angrily: "Shut up, how can you criticize the ministers of the DPRK and China casually, the soldiers obey the orders and listen to the command, and have no right to judge the rights and wrongs of the war." ”

"Takagaki I know that you have a strategic arrangement, but to win every battle, isn't it just to obey the strategic deployment? The more prisoners you capture, the lower the enemy's morale, and in the end there is no way out but to surrender. ”

Coach Qiu didn't listen to the advice and persuaded in turn, making Gao Yuan laugh more ugly than crying.

"Hehe, coach, you don't steal the target, the enemy of this war is the Sunset Mercenary and the Cuihua Witch Soldier, the grassland tribe is just the right time, from their point of view, the student soldiers are undoubtedly the invaders, justice is not always with us, they are forced to defend their homeland, they are the real victims. ”

"Watch your words. The commander of the friendly army reprimanded, but he had to admit that Takagaki had a point, the steppe tribes have lived in this land for generations, and the three great powers have used their homeland as a battlefield, and there is no need to debate who is the aggressor, and they are trying to survive in the cracks, and only God knows the suffering of the tribe.

"Gao Yuan, I can't see that you are quite sympathetic, well, let me ask you, the county lord ordered the standard teams to hand over to the grassland tribes all the way, many materials were given away for free, the transport team did not rob them of a horse, did not kill a single of them, why gathered tens of thousands of people to surround it, you won't say that you are here to welcome the junior brothers, go and see your dead and wounded partners. ”

Coach Qiu showed a habitual mocking look on his face, and Gao Yuan was so angry that he also raised his voice, blushing and arguing.

"Coach, if anyone wants to build a house on your land, not only does he not ask your consent in advance, but after the construction is completed, he will treat your whole family as his subordinates, will you rush up and kill him with a knife? ”

The scar on Coach Qiu's face twitched violently, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal, the student broke into the grassland with a knife and a gun, and the transport team car was equipped with city building tools, it would not be to help the tribe build a beautiful homeland, you said that you didn't provoke the master, no matter how thick your face is, you will be embarrassed, and mocked Gao Yuan and said that the queue is welcome, people don't hack you to death, it's just that the force is poor, and you are welcome to be the master.

"Okay, let's not argue about these strategic things. The chief said that he couldn't take advantage of the situation and retreated.

"Captain Gao is right, I understand, you want to implement the strategy of attacking the heart, completely subduing the hearts of the grassland people, a very grand and tempting goal, thousands of years have countless heroes and heroes have had the same dream, as a result, the grassland is still full of tribes, they return to dust and dust, and many people have become the laughing stock of future generations. ”

Coach Qiu sneered with his colleagues: "There are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under the command of the king of Xiangyun County, and they don't dare to fight the idea of grassland, and honestly defend the side plug." If you want to conquer the tribe with tens of thousands of people, not to mention that dozens of our standard commanders are shallow and embarrassed, you call all the generals of the empire to unify the grassland with this little force, and the Martial Saint God of War will be so frightened that he pees his pants. ”

"Just because they didn't do it doesn't mean we can't. The standard chief said that it was a laughing stock, I don't think so, it is precisely because of the continuous efforts of countless predecessors to try to unify that this grassland has not been divided by the three major empires, and the regular army does not dare to enter, I don't know the reason, but one thing is certain, Sunset and Cuihua both want to be in the bag, but they can't catch it, if they give a good opportunity today, they will make future generations laugh. ”

Coach Qiu raised his hands and smiled mockingly: "Okay, good, my grand strategist, you're right, I surrender." Now, let the captives go, but if they pick up their weapons and attack again, what do you say?"

"Attack again, you lead the troops to kill back, grab the captives and continue to release them untilβ€”"

Coach Qiu gritted his teeth and shouted hatefully: "I really want to blow your head with a punch to see if there is grass and mud inside, you let me fight, is this game fun? Get out, give you a maximum of ten captives to replace, and then dare to talk nonsense and make you regret it. ”

"Captain Gao, the exchange of prisoners of war is excusable, releasing prisoners is against military discipline, we are just the standard commander, we don't have this right, and the minimum has to be nodded by the captain, but even if your standard battalion captain is here, release more than 300 prisoners at one time, after the war, he has to report to the Military Justice Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. ”

Qiu Biaochang drove people impatiently: "Get out, don't make Lao Tzu angry, if you don't go, I'll send someone else to exchange and promise to let your people come back alive, don't get out of here!"

The truth that should be said is all said, the two standard commanders do not admit the account, Gao Yuan expected that there would be resistance, and he never imagined that the reaction would be so strong, the standard commander is a professional officer, and he can listen to it for so long even if he gives face, or he will let you shut up obediently if he shows the captain's military order, the release of prisoners of war is a matter of great importance, not to mention that it is emotionally difficult to accept, and no one wants to go into the prison of the Military Justice Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Coach, Captain, this is the county lord's warrant, please take a look. ”

Gao Yuan took out Mei Ying's authorized warrant from his chest, and after Coach Qiu read it, he handed it to another standard leader, his face was extremely bad, and he couldn't hold back his temperament so that he didn't start beating anyone.

"Military operations must be in line with strategic deployment, occupy the grasslands and attack the heart first, except for not interfering with wartime command, authorize Takagaki to act on our behalf, and all battalions must actively cooperate. ”

Coach Qiu is familiar with Mei Ying's handwriting, the warrant is written by her, and the signature is also stamped with the seal of the county lord, and the other ruler looks at each other, and after a while, the two nod and return the warrant to Gao Yuan.

"Get out, the captives are handed over to you, kill them or let them go. Without waiting for Gao Yuan to speak, he immediately explained: "Be careful when exchanging prisoners of war, Qin Rufeng is not here, his cavalry patrol will be temporarily handed over to you for command, don't put your life in it." ”
