Chapter 638: Killing Prisoners
Under the moonlight.
A person walked out of the city with a torch, the firelight illuminated the panic and uneasiness on the man's face, his eyes looked around vigilantly, worried about the cold arrow shooting, and hurriedly shouted in the not very proficient Tang language: "Don't shoot arrows, come over to negotiate surrender on the orders of the right marshal." โ
The voice spread with a little trembling, especially strange under the moonlight.
The soldiers didn't know that the city was like purgatory, and they looked at each other in confusion, this was to negotiate peace?
That's how you won?!
Everyone stared curiously at the people who came and didn't make another move.
The person who came breathed a sigh of relief, quickened his pace, and continued to shout, at this time it would be too unjust to be shot.
The news quickly spread to Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao snorted coldly disdainfully, thinking that Tou Tie wanted to block Longyou Dao and fight to the end - right here?
Surrender and surrender, it just so happens that Hanzhou needs laborers!
It's not bad to take it to fight the Turks, don't be free cannon fodder in vain!
With his thoughts flashing, Qin Huaidao instantly made the future arrangements of the Tubo army clear and ordered it to be released.
The person hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully held the golden knife above his head with both hands, surrendered with the highest etiquette in Tibet, and said: "This is the golden knife of the right commander, our army is willing to surrender, please open the net of the Han king." โ
The golden knife represents power in the eyes of the Tibetans and Turks, similar to the tiger charm and the handsome seal.
Luo Wu took the golden knife and stared at the other party vigilantly on the side, just in case.
Qin Huaidao asked indifferently: "This king only allows you to surrender unconditionally and become slaves, are you willing?" โ
"King Shehan's grace." The other party gratefully agreed.
Defeat and becoming a slave may be too cruel for the people of the Central Plains, but for the Tibetan and steppe peoples who respect the strong, they are accustomed to it, as it should be.
Qin Huaidao was instead relieved by the other party's attitude of not struggling at all.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Huaidao continued uneasily: "Everyone put down their weapons, tie their hands with ropes, and come out of the east gate in a line, otherwise they will launch an air attack again, and no one will be left, let's go." โ
"King Xie Han!" The other party thanked him and turned to go.
Waiting for the other party to go farther, Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Wu: "Pass the order, be ready to fight again, and don't relax." โ
The battlefield is dangerous, not only to listen to his words, but also to watch his deeds, in case of fraud?
"Obey!" Luo Wu nodded knowingly, and hurriedly sent someone to pass the order.
"I hope I don't play tricks."
Qin Huaidao looked at the city in front of him again, if he dared to surrender, he wouldn't mind killing them all.
Not long after, there was a large area of fire in the city ahead, countless people came slowly with torches, Luo Wu was not at ease, and personally took a few people to run up to check, and saw that one by one his hands were tied, connected together, without carrying weapons, decadent, depressed, and without any will to fight.
Qin Huaidao was not at ease when he heard the news, and vigilantly sent someone up to check whether the bundle was strong, and then designated an area to squat, not allowed to run around, and not allowed to talk to each other.
On the battlefield, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.
A large number of Tibetan troops slowly came over, squatting in the prescribed area, waiting for fate to be arranged, one by one silent, dazed, empty, and numb.
Qin Huaidao still didn't dare to be careless when he saw this scene, motioned for Luo Wu to get closer, and whispered: "Send someone to the other three gates to give an order, explain the situation, and ask each to dispatch half of the archers to quickly come and stare at the death of the surrendered troops, just in case, the remaining men and horses and other Tubo troops will quickly enter the city after all the Tubo troops have left the city, search and rescue the people, and rescue grain, grass and other materials." โ
"Understood." Luo Wu hurried to make arrangements.
The Tibetan army is still coming, silent, like a walking corpse.
The special operations division, the baggage pairs were all scattered and surrounded by them, staring at them fiercely, just in case.
The Guards rushed up to check the rope tie up close to prevent fraud.
Not long after, there were guards escorting several Tibetan generals over, and the person at the head was old, faltering, and his face was dejected, it was the right handsome Puminsi.
Qin Huaidao looked at Pu Minsi and was silent.
Pu Minsi also looked at Qin Huaidao, his mood was complicated, remembering his original ambition, he thought that he could become famous all over the world, but he didn't know that it was the beginning of a nightmare, 100,000 elite soldiers were defeated miserably overnight, and more than half of them were lost, but the other party never entered the city, and the loss was almost zero, this way of playing was simply appalling.
Bleak, lonely, helpless, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.
After a while, Pu Minsi suppressed the grievances in his heart and saluted solemnly: "The general of the defeated army, Pu Minsi, has seen the King of Han. โ
"Geometry of the Descender?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"Back to the King of Han, there are more than 50,000 descendants, and I implore the King of Han to open up the net."
Qin Huaidao was a little surprised, why were there only more than 50,000 people left? Stared at each other silently.
Pu Minsi saw Qin Huaidao's suspicions, and hurriedly explained: "More than 10,000 people were killed in the bombing, more than 10,000 people were shot and killed when they escaped from the city, and more than 20,000 people were trampled by frightened horses and killed each other by bombing the camp. โ
Qin Huaidao was immediately happy when he heard that the camp was bombed and the horses were trampled, and it was right to think about it, it was suddenly bombed at night, and the black light blinded the fire could not be seen clearly, so he must be nervous, panicked, and afraid, plus the war horses were frightened and scurryed, it was not strange to bomb the camp, but it was a pity, what a good cannon fodder, and asked: "How many people are there in the city?" โ
Putmins was a little surprised, what did those lowly pariahs have to care about? But he still said truthfully: "The reputation of the King of Han is too great, the old man does not have much confidence to defend the city, in order to save food and fight a protracted war with the King of Han, he has to kill all the people in the city, the position is different, the old man has no choice, I hope the King of Han understands." โ
Qin Huaidao was furious when he heard this, his hand holding the horse lance tightened, stared at the other party, gritted his teeth and shouted, "What do you mean...... The king's fault? โ
"Don't dare, it's not a human sin, it's a war offense."
"Fight your uncle!"
Qin Huaidao couldn't control the killing intent in his heart anymore, all the people outside the city were killed, and the people in the city were actually slaughtered, it was simply not as good as beasts, it was a group of devils with no humanity.
What do you keep such people for?
"Poofโ"
Qin Huaidao's horse lance stabbed into Puminsi's body like lightning, pierced out, and then retracted it with force, bringing out a puddle of blood, and shouted: "The inhuman crime of bullshit, you still want to blame the fault on the war when you kill someone, if you don't come, where will the war come from?" โ
"You...... Going back on his word, the villain ......" Pu Minsi looked at Qin Huaidao incredulously, and collapsed to the ground, obviously he had agreed to surrender, why did he still make a dead hand? It's a pity that I'm so angry that I'll never be able to figure it out.
The common people are untouchables and slaves in the eyes of the Tibetan aristocracy, Pu Minsi is high, and he is used to life and death, where do you know what the people mean in the eyes of Qin Huaidao.
All the Tubo generals who came to surrender looked at Qin Huaidao, who suddenly burst out and killed people, and they were all stunned - this is the right handsome, the second person in the Tubo military, extremely valuable, so he killed him like this?
The people of the Guards Regiment have a simple idea, the young master will kill, and the other side will kill!
Everyone gathered around and stared at the remaining generals.
Luo Wu asked murderously, "Uncle? โ
"Leave no one behind, avenge the people of Zhangye County!" Qin Huaidao shouted murderously, his voice was as cold as the Nine Shadows of Death roaring.
"Kill!"
Luo Wu roared angrily and rushed forward, slashing with a swing of his knife.
The others did not hesitate to raise their swords and slaughter.
"Puff puff!"
After a while, more than a dozen high-ranking generals of the Tubo army were all beheaded to the ground, and before they died, they couldn't understand why they had agreed to surrender, why they suddenly made a dead hand, wasn't it just a city of pariahs? - The most worthless thing in this troubled world is not the untouchables, the army can become the master's sword, what can the untouchables do but waste food?
"All the troops are killed, and the blood debt is repaid!" Qin Huaidao was furious, his eyes were red, the ghost cannon fodder, the ghost laborer, how could he calm the grievances of the people in the city if he didn't kill him?
If the people of the city are fine, Qin Huaidao doesn't mind only killing the generals to comfort the souls of the villagers who died tragically outside the city, leaving the ordinary army, but the people in the city are killed, and it is difficult to calm down if the murderers are not killed.
Zhangye County is a big city with tens of thousands of people, all of them are gone, if you want to kill these tens of thousands of people, which Tubo army has no blood on their hands? One is not wronged!
At the sound of an order, the soldiers who were already eyeing each other shot one after another, and feathered arrows and crossbows were shot out one after another, forming a big net of life and heading towards the surrendering army.
The screams instantly resounded in the night sky, but no one took pity on them.
Whoever kills, kills him constantly.
The imperial army that was ordered to rush to support did not know why, and thought that the army would be surrendered to the rejuvenation, so they rushed up to help without hesitation, and killed it.
The ancients said that reputation was more important than life, and no one wanted to bear a reputation of extravagance and brutality.
Li Jing didn't want Qin Huaidao's reputation to be damaged, so he hurriedly came over and reminded: "Virtuous nephew, the killing of prisoners is unknown, it is disgraceful, and Yu will not be good in the future, stop it, it's still too late." โ
"The people of the city were slaughtered, and they deserved to die." Qin Huaidao said coldly, his eyes staring at the front were cold, and the killing intent was permeating his body.
