Chapter 1022: The Aftermath (I)

As mentioned earlier, it will be the soul of the soldier, and the soldier will be the courage of the general! The loss of the Goguryeo defenders was almost equivalent to losing their souls, although they had the intention to kill the enemy, but they were unable to return to heaven after all.

Without a unified command, the grassroots officers below went their own way, some wanted to compress the formation, and the larger buffer space in the air was used to reorganize the defense; Some want to rush forward with their soldiers to avenge the dead Kim Xiangdong; There were also some people who wanted to pull back into the city and take advantage of the familiar environment in the city to engage in street battles with the Tang army.

A hundred people, when facing a difficult situation, there will even be a hundred and one ideas, and it is precisely because of this that the loss of the southern city of Anshi is destined to become inevitable.

The sky was gradually dimming, and the battle that had lasted for a day was almost coming to an end, and there were no more Goguryeo shadows on the entire southern city wall, some of them who had been seriously injured and had not died for a short time, were moaning in pain, and the living were also huddled in the corners of the wall and shivering, waiting for the judgment of fate.

"Order to be silent, to organize their defense, clear out some of the buildings in the city, and carry the wounded soldiers in, no matter how good the conditions outside the city are, they are not as good as in the city, don't die in battle and finally freeze to death." Li Chengqian knocked on his legs, which were numb, and his mood was a little low.

After a battle, he knew what it means to be a general, although he had made enough preparations for this war, but after taking down the city wall, there were still nearly a thousand dead when the battle damage was counted, and countless people were wounded.

Li Chengqian didn't care how many Goguryeo people died, and when his own people's food and clothing were not solved, what the enemy did not have much to do with him, even if he died, he would not feel distressed at all.

Anyway, in the future, this land will be taken back to the Tang Dynasty to divide, the more Goguryeo people die, the more the Tang people will share, anyway, the land is so big, of course, the fewer people who divide the better.

After some tossing, Er Lao Cheng led people to open the city gate from the inside of Anshi City, put down the suspension bridge, and put the rescue vehicle that was already waiting in line outside.

"Master Jun, Master Jun let us go, if you drive us out on a cold day, it will be cold to death." As soon as he entered the city, Li Chengqian, who was traveling with the rescue vehicle, heard a series of pleadings.

It was the Goguryeo people who had been driven away, their houses had been requisitioned by the Liaodong Army, and the homeless people were constantly begging to get their houses back on a cold day.

Li Chengqian, whose head was full of the groans of the wounded soldiers, was annoyed by the noise, and pulled Li Siwen beside him and said, "Take them to dig a pit outside the city, so that it won't be cold!" ”

"Huh? You, you've buried these people? Li Siwen's originally excited and somewhat red face changed suddenly, and he asked in a slurred manner.

"Lao Tzu is letting them exercise, aren't they afraid that they will freeze to death? In that case, let's get to work! Li Chengqian didn't explain too much about what he was digging a pit, but it was obvious that in ancient times, arranging people to dig a pit would not be a good thing.

"Gao Ming, you still have to think about it again, these people ......, these people can't be killed, killing them will have too much impact on you in the future." Li Siwen hesitated for a long time, lowered his voice and persuaded Li Chengqian.

Whether it is ancient or modern, the killing of prisoners will not have any good evaluation, and as for the slaughter of the common people, it is even more heinous.

Li Siwen was worried about this, so he kept persuading Li Chengqian to think about it again and not ruin his future because of a momentary impulse.

"What Lao Tzu needs is the land of Goguryeo, not their population, you look at these people pitifully, but do you know that they are likely to be constantly transporting supplies to the city half a day ago?"

"We're still on Goguryeo's turf, and I don't mind speculating on their minds with the most vicious thoughts, so ...... Execute the order and go. ”

Li Chengqian could order the killing of 50,000 Goguryeo slaves without hesitation, and now he can naturally kill these eyesore in front of him without hesitation.

As for the reason? He can find a lot.

Of course, maybe when you return to Chang'an in the future, you will face the condemnation of countless people, but so what? As long as the old man doesn't want to mess with him, then he can never fall.

What the old man has done recently, he Li Chengqian is not unaware, with Lao Cui's 'golden finger', Li Chengqian does not have to worry about his lack of information.

Thinking of Cui Yu's report with a strange face in the past few nights, Li Chengqian had an urge to laugh, and at the same time, he also had a very helpless feeling about the old man's childish show-off behavior.

The noisy crowd was finally taken away, and under the bright steel knife, these Goguryeo people all closed their mouths, secretly regretting why they didn't flee quickly just now.

In view of the fact that the Liaodong army did not immediately carry out a massacre after entering the city, but drove those Goguryeo civilians to the Goguryeo-controlled area.

This situation caused some kind of misunderstanding for the Goguryeo people, thinking that the Tang Dynasty would not raise butcher knives against them civilians, and the slaughter of the city at the beginning was just to scare and scare them. That's why these expelled civilians gathered together to ask for an explanation, but they didn't expect to ask for their own lives.

In fact, Li Chengqian is not very enthusiastic about such things as slaughtering cities, and he is not a cold-blooded person by nature.

But don't forget, this is in the Tang Dynasty, in ancient times more than 600 A.D., although the people here are not ignorant, but they cannot be said to be very civilized.

It is the so-called poor ** plan, rich and long-term conscience.

In this resource-scarce ancient world, everyone struggled for those limited resources; In this era of no chemical fertilizers and no pesticides, there is not much food that can be grown in the field, and if you want to keep yourself alive, you can only rob others, and in order not to let the other party continue to consume resources, you have to eliminate them from both physical and mental aspects.

Another point is how to control the soldiers under you.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not the steel force of later generations, although they have been trained in appearance, but they have not reached that height in thought.

So if you want to control them, you have to let them vent the desire to kill in their hearts. The non-stop training every day has allowed the soldiers to accumulate a lot of negative energy in their hearts, and it is not a good thing to have a long time with nowhere to vent.

In addition, so many people died in this battle, how could it be possible for people to have no resentment in their hearts, and it is not a bad thing to use some prisoners of the enemy country to calm the resentment in the hearts of the soldiers.
