Regarding Li Chao's order, Cui Yan never doubted it, let alone hesitated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info says kill a hundred, you don't just kill ninety-nine. And the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, especially the soldiers of the early Tang Dynasty, have very strict military discipline, and no one will be sloppy with military orders.

Only those who lay down their ordnance and sit on the ground and surrender can be spared from being killed by swords and axes. As long as they dare to still hold the knife and gun in their hands, even if they shout the words of surrender and spare, the soldiers will not believe it, and there will not be a moment of hesitation, they will directly slash with the axe. The one who wields the sword is the enemy, and the enemy who dies is the best enemy.

In the end, those brutes finally understood that shouting and begging for mercy was not enough, and they had to put down their swords and kneel on the ground.

There is no wrongdoing, manslaughter, death is death, at most you are unlucky.

The shouts of killing are getting quieter, the resistance is getting less and less, and the resistance is getting weaker and weaker.

Niu Jianhu carried a blood-stained double-edged axe, blood-stained battle robe, and strode to Li Chao to report it.

"Lei Gongzhai has been taken!"

"Where's the Thunder Python?"

"Killed by Ke Jiaotou!" Niu Jianhu said with some regret. The government soldiers are the most important military merit, and fighting means that there are military merit rewards, as well as dividends for war booty.

Breaking a stockade was an easy battle, but it was a great credit for suppressing the rebellion. When the time comes, the spoils of war will also be divided according to merit. A thunder python, but it can reach many ordinary barbarian heads.

Li Chengqian wanted to go to the stockade.

Niu Jianhu arched his hand, "Please Your Highness stay for a while, it is not suitable now." ”

"How is it not appropriate?"

"The scene is a bit bloody, I'm afraid His Highness won't be happy to see it." said that he was not very happy, but he was giving face to Chengqian, but in fact, he was afraid of scaring the prince. After all, the battlefield is full of flesh and blood, and the stumps are broken everywhere. Besides, the soldiers are faithfully carrying out Li Chao's disposal orders.

The old and the weak were put to death!

The soldiers don't care if you are old or weak, and you don't care if you kill or not, the people who dare to slaughter the city are not people, not to mention that these people are still some barbarians, whether they are barbarians or fangs or Yi, Hu, and captives, anyway, these people are not people in the eyes of the Tang people.

People in this era have thicker nerves, and they are used to killing people and slaughtering cities.

If you kill me today, I'll kill you tomorrow when I have the chance, you're welcome.

"Military discipline must not be disordered!"

Li Chao only said five words to Niu Jianhu and did not change the order.

Military orders are like mountains, and they cannot be changed overnight.

However, what Li Chao asks is the control of the army, it is okay to kill, but it must be killed according to the military order, and it is okay to rob, but it must be a planned robbery, no indiscriminate robbery, no private hiding, and the spoils of war must be returned to the public.

It wasn't until dawn that Li Chao finally took Cheng Qian, who couldn't hold back for a long time, to go up the mountain.

After a night of raids and interceptions, the village on the mountain was much quieter.

Although there were still many blood stains on the ground, after all, the tragic scene of severed limbs and corpses everywhere could not be seen. The soldiers had already cleaned the battlefield, counted the corpses of the barbarians, confirmed their identities, and then dug pits with the barbarian captives and threw people into them to bury them.

Be much more serious about your own people.

There are stretcher teams and doctors who are responsible for treating the wounded, even if they are seriously injured, they must do their best to treat the wounded. The war dead must also confirm their identities, even if they have broken hands and feet, they must be found and put together, and they must be brought water to scrub their bodies clean and put on clean military robes.

Collect their belongings and keep them especially safe for future return to their families.

Because it was inconvenient to carry and keep the corpses in the army, Li Chao asked to cremate the bodies of the fallen soldiers directly, and then take their ashes home, and then here, bury the bloody clothes they had changed, build a monument to the fallen soldiers, and now temporarily set up a wooden plaque, but he confessed to the history of Fangzhou assassination, and in the future, he must send someone over to build a tower, which is for a monument, engraved with the name, hometown, position, age, etc., and send people to pay tribute at four o'clock.

In the stockade, everything is in order, and it looks like a battlefield at all.

Li Chengqian looked at it, and was actually a little disappointed, how could the battlefield be like this, what is the difference between this and the barracks.

"What's in those boxes?"

Li Chengqian saw several large wooden boxes on the side, the lid was tight, and he was a little curious, so he stretched out his hand and opened one.

"Gross!"

A fishy smell came to his face, and the smell was so strong that he was caught off guard and vomited it out at once. In the box, it was not some gold and silver loot as he thought, but a whole box of human heads.

The flesh and blood of the human heads, one by one, were piled up, and the eyes of many of the heads were still wide open.

The impact was too strong, and Li Chengqian, who thought that he had seen murder and beheading, and was no longer afraid of these, squatted on the side and vomited, and his stomach was still cramping.

He regretted that he had been cheap.

Niu Jianhu laughed a few times and closed the box casually.

Li Chao walked over and patted Chengqian's back.

"Are those barbarians?"

"Well, the barbarians who paid the price for their stupidity and cruelty, the stupid barbarians who refused to lay down their arms and surrender when the official army attacked the village." Li Chao replied.

"How many killed?" Li Chengqian asked with a pale face.

Cui Yan came over to answer for Li Chao.

"According to preliminary statistics, we killed more than 300 people and captured more than 1,200 people in this battle."

Li Chao asked, "How many are the old and weak?" ”

"About three hundred. More than 100 old, about 200 young. ”

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Li Chao, and said a little unbearably, "Teacher, can you let these old and weak go?" ”

"Does Your Highness want to intercede for them?"

"I just think they're so pitiful, slaughtering Yongcheng, these people don't have a share."

The prince's request, Li Chao had to consider.

Li Chengqian stood up at this time to intercede for the old and weak of the barbarians, Li Chao's heart was actually quite happy, after all, the prince was only seven years old, and he was able to come out to intercede, which showed that he did have a good side in his heart.

"In this way, I can relax a little, and the old people who are fifty to fifty-five years old, who are not disabled or sick, can be spared death and be reduced to official slaves. As for those over fifty-five and those over fifty who are physically ill, there is no need to keep them. ”

"Those children, just listen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and spare their lives."

"Thank you, teacher!"

Li Chao shook his hand, "Your Highness can keep a benevolent heart, which is a blessing for the people of the world." However, Your Highness must also remember that mercy cannot be used indiscriminately. Kindness to one's enemies would be cruelty to one's own people. ”

Cui Yan asked, "Are those people going to be killed now?" ”

"Kill now, let those barbarian captives watch the punishment on the sidelines, and let them remember the price of their stupidity." Li Chao said that he also deliberately took the prince to watch the execution, although the prince's face is not very good now, but Li Chao hopes that the prince can watch the crime in person.
