Xin Ke actually didn't mind killing prisoners of war. In fact, many generals in Hetao, except Bian Chongxing, including Fengjing Wu Xiaolangjun, had done it countless times. Sometimes it was done in private, and everyone turned a blind eye.
Just close one eye and it's enough. Sometimes it's a public massacre, like when the iron hoof comes out of the jam.
It's not that Bian Chongxing doesn't like killing prisoners of war, but Bian Chongxing feels that these prisoners of war should be sent to Hetao to build roads and bridges for infrastructure construction first, which is more valuable than killing them. Just like the last time King Anyue heard Xingfan
He and tens of thousands of soldiers were escorted to Hetao. As a result, some soldiers actually launched a rebellion and killed hundreds of Hetao soldiers. Not only did the more than 300 Anyue soldiers who escaped from the prison camp killed thousands of Hetao people. As a result, Bian Zhongxing
You're welcome, all the more than 300 soldiers were executed without mercy. As for the nearly 10,000 soldiers who participated in the rebellion, Bian Chongxing didn't say much. He was originally planning to behead them all, but at that time he saw that Wu Xiaolangjun was training cavalry, and Bian Chongxing
He also deliberately trained their courage, so he called five people out directly and asked them to lead their cavalry to tie all the nearly 10,000 soldiers behind the horses' butts and drag them to death. At that time, King Wen Xingfan of Anyue was captured.
When the princes and ministers saw this, many of them urinated on the spot. From then on, they did not dare to resist, but honestly carried out labor reform. However, Hetao did not treat them badly. A few years later, the only clan member of Jinhua Mitsukoshi
He survived here by being released as a prisoner of war.
Dugu shook his head quickly and said: "Xin Shuai, you misunderstood. These prisoners of war were all seriously injured and died. You also know that the medicines in our Hetao are relatively tight. We don't have enough soldiers. How can we use them on them?"
Since these people are already dead, why not reuse them?"
Long Zhishan understood and quickly went to personally take out the bodies of the two hundred and twenty-five Ji Le Alliance prisoners of war. He knew without looking at the letter that these people must have been killed by Long Zhishan just now.
Dugu stared at Long Zhishan fiercely. He had just praised him for being smart, but unexpectedly he did something stupid again. He immediately whipped him and shouted angrily: "You are just a fucking idiot. You can't even commit fraud to kill someone to silence him."
Yes. You can tell from the wounds on these people that they were killed with swords just now. Don’t you know how to smash them to death with hammers or something like this? Don’t leave any obvious scars! Fortunately, Commander-in-Chief is here this time. If
My lord and mistress, be careful that I will peel your skin off and use it as a drumhead. Also, let the soldiers below be smarter. If your secret is revealed, be careful that I will personally teach you the principles of life."
Xin Ke simply pretended not to hear it. Dugu's gangsters were famous in the three roads of Hetao, but it seemed that he should learn these tricks. Otherwise, his subordinates would always be as straightforward as Zhang Xingli and Liu Zhiya, which didn't seem to be very good.
"Deputy commander, all we have to eat can only last for noon today, and we have no food for dinner." Chi Da, a private soldier, stepped forward and said to Chi Zhongtian.
Chi Zhongtian smiled bitterly, and then said after a long time: "I understand. You ask Jia Jin to look around. You can go to several other hills that you haven't been to to see if you can find some more food. Also, let Chi
We are sending out some more shrewd scouts to see if we can find a passage to Luozhou."
This was the third day after Chi Zhongtian arrived at Pingkou Mountain, and it was also the third day of fighting alone. That night, the Northern Army followed Tie Zhen's arrangement and broke through to the Pingkou Mountain area with the strategy of attacking from the east and attacking from the west. They planned to find an opportunity to break through the Paradise Alliance Army.
The defense line entered the west of Yuzhou Road. Tie Zhen understood that as long as they and the Azure Dragon Army could enter Haotian's sphere of influence, Haotian would definitely not sit idly by.
However, Chi Zhongtian's luck was not very good. He had just arrived at Pingkou Mountain and had just rested for half a day when the army commander Zhu Bingyang was ready to lead his army to surrender to the enemy. Most of the soldiers in the northern army were hooligans from Tiandu Shengjing and some desperate people.
People who don't have much intuition about the country and their loyalty, so when they are now in danger, they are naturally panicked. Zhu Bingyang's proposal immediately touched their hearts. After all, where are they not getting paid by the army to make a living?
After saying that this was the order of the legion commander, the soldiers' inner resistance became much smaller. As a result, as soon as Zhu Bingyang announced his decision, tens of thousands of soldiers nodded in agreement.
Chi Zhongtian came from a traditional military background, so naturally he would not do such a thing that would insult his ancestors or the country. Naturally, he strongly opposed it. There are also many soldiers in the Northern Army who still have loyalty. As a result, Chi Zhongtian
At Tian's call, more than 11,000 soldiers immediately gathered. However, Zhu Bingyang was determined to defect to the Paradise Alliance. Chi Zhongtian had no choice but to lead more than 10,000 soldiers under his command to retreat to the middle of Pingkou Mountain to prevent
Chi Zhongtian colluded with the Bliss Alliance to strangle the last piece of the Northern Legion.
However, the Northern Army did not bring much food with them when they left Xuzhou. Zhu Bingyang surrendered to the enemy and took away most of the food. Chi Zhongtian had no choice but to let the soldiers below collect wild fruits and vegetables within his range of activities.
These things actually allowed them to barely sustain themselves for two days. However, now Pingkou Mountain has been almost turned upside down by them, and they can no longer find anything that can wrap their bellies. Even the only more than 500 war horses can't be found.
Has been slaughtered.
Chi Zhongtian only felt that his head suddenly got a little bigger. He was a pure soldier. He rarely dealt with logistical issues. He only thought that as long as he could win the battle and fight hard, it was natural when he encountered this kind of problem now.
I have an unusual headache. How about leading the soldiers to fight against the Bliss Alliance? Anyway, you will die here if you stay here. If you fight to the death, you may be able to make some money back. If you are lucky, you can break through the Bliss Alliance's defense line and rush to the control of the Loop.
In the territory, this life is saved.
At this moment, Chi Zheng panted and ran towards him quickly. Chi Zhongtian was suddenly shocked. Could it be that the Paradise Alliance had started to attack? Otherwise, why was Chi Zheng running so fast?
"Commander of the Army, good, good news." Chi Zheng gasped and said, "Good news, the Hetao army has come to rescue us. General Dugu Yuming and General Xinke of the Hetao led 50,000 soldiers to defeat Yelu Chixian.
The allied forces of Paradise and Cordore are coming towards us."
Chi Zhongtian was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Really? Tell me in more detail!"
Chi Zheng took a deep breath and continued: "Legion Commander, the general was ordered to explore the surrounding situation. However, after walking around, no trace of the Bliss Army was found. The general was so confused that he boldly expanded the scope of the patrol.
After expanding a little, we found the Hetao army rushing towards us. It turned out that after they learned that our lone army was still holding on to Pingkou Mountain, they immediately led the army to come to our aid. After a bloody battle
After fighting hard, we finally drove away the Paradise Alliance Army. Their battle must have been particularly difficult, and many of the soldiers' armors were covered with traces of blood and fireworks. They are about to arrive, should we go to greet them?"
Chi Zhongtian nodded quickly: "Of course, of course. I didn't expect that when the empire had forgotten us, the Hetao army actually remembered us."
Chi Zhongtian quickly tidied up his clothes and led the army generals down the mountain. Although he was defeated again and again, he was still a legion directly under the imperial court and could not lose face in front of Hetao.
When Chi Zhongtian and others arrived at the mountain, 50,000 Hetao soldiers had already been waiting here. Although there were tens of thousands of people, the Hetao soldiers did not make a sound. All the soldiers held their heads high and looked at the world.
Momentum. Chi Zhongtian and others took a closer look and found that many soldiers still had some blood stains on their bodies. However, these soldiers did not care and still stood upright.
Chi Zhongtian secretly admired that only such a motionless army could force the Paradise Alliance to retreat. In the eyes of the other party, his own northern army was probably nothing more than a chicken and a dog.
"May I ask if this is the commander of Chi Zhongtian's army who is sticking to Pingkou Mountain and refusing to surrender?" Chi Zhongtian was sighing when a powerful voice sounded above everyone's heads. When they looked sideways, it was the Hetao army.
What the general in white robe said.
"Could this man be Dugu Yuming, one of the five great generals in Hetao, the invincible general among the Bai'er Army back then?" Chi Zhongtian was shocked. He naturally knew the rugged man standing next to the white-robed general. After all, he was convinced.
I had spent a lot of time on Yuzhou Road before. I just didn’t expect that Dugu Yuming, who has been famous all over the world for more than ten years, would be so cool. At first, I thought that Dugu Yuming was at least forty or fifty years old, but I didn’t know that I only found out after meeting him.
, the other party turned out to be a handsome man in his thirties, fourteen or five years old. In appearance, he actually looked a bit more bookish.
Chi Zhongtian hurriedly stepped forward and said: "That person is Chi Zhongtian. I think this is the famous General Dugu in Hetao. General Xinke, we met again, but I didn't expect that it would be under such circumstances.
"
Xin Ke chuckled: "You're welcome, legion commander. We are all soldiers of the empire. If you hadn't restrained Yelu Minghui's energy here, we wouldn't have been able to drive them away. You are the backbone of the empire and belong to our country.
Pride, no matter what our status is, we will definitely not ignore you. But we only got the news today. At that time, we thought that the entire Northern Army had surrendered, but we arrived a day late. Please forgive me, generals."
Chi Zhongtian and others blushed, and Chi Zhongtian said: "Unfortunately, the Northern Army has become so rebellious. Zhu Bingyang had better not let us see him in the future, otherwise even if he fights for this old man
Even if he lives, we will cut him into pieces."
Dugu smiled bitterly: "Legion Commander, you will no longer see Zhu Bingyang and the 70,000 soldiers who surrendered with him. According to our intelligence, Zhu Bingyang and the 70,000 soldiers have all been buried alive by the Paradise Alliance Army."
"What?" Chi Zhongtian and Chi Dajiajin and other generals behind him were all dizzy. They had been surrounded tightly for the past two days, so naturally they didn't know about it. Zhu Bingyang's death was not a pity, but those ordinary soldiers
, although they also hated their treason and surrender to the enemy, many of them had no choice but to do so. Thinking that tens of thousands of soldiers were buried alive, all of them gritted their teeth with hatred.
Xin Ji took a step forward and said: "Legion commander, there is no need to feel sad. These people betrayed the empire and surrendered to the alien race. They would have died without mercy. It's just that evil has its own consequences, and their retribution will come very quickly. Hum, if they fall into our Hetao army
In the hands of you, this will definitely be the ending. However, you have been severely injured, and I don’t know where you are going to go? Do you need our help? "
Chi Zhongtian said without hesitation: "As imperial soldiers, we naturally go to the front line to continue fighting. However, we have very little food left. I hope the two generals can help us."
Dugu laughed, but then his face darkened again: "Legion Commander, food is not a problem. Although our military rations are also tight, we are all fighting against foreign humiliation. How can I, Hetao, care about it? However, there is one thing.
We must tell the legion commander and generals first."
At that moment, Dugu explained in detail what had happened these days. When he heard that the heroic emperor and the three pillars had all died for their country, Chi Zhongtian and others burst into tears. After a while, Chi Zhongtian
He barely stopped crying, but the expression on his face was still extremely painful.
The letter said in a deep voice: "Legion Commander, His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King will be enthroned in the Holy Capital of Longxiang in a few days, so that we can better concentrate Qingfeng's power to fight against the aliens. If you are ready to continue fighting, you can join us.
Fighting side by side, we are preparing to push the Paradise Alliance back to Yangzhou Road, but our strength is limited, so the progress is slow. If the army commander is preparing to go to Tiandu Shengjing, then we suggest that you go south from Luozhou, and we will prepare sufficient supplies along the way.
Food supplies.”
Chi Zhongtian hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We really want to fight on the battlefield with the soldiers in Hetao, but now there are only ten thousand soldiers left, so we should go to Tiandu Shengjing first and listen to the arrangements of the new emperor. Two generals, this
Our northern army has accepted the favor. If there is a need in the future, we will definitely be obliged to do so."
Dugu didn't say much. He nodded and said: "In this case, Commander Chi may as well lead his army to set off now. We just pushed back the enemy. The enemy's strength is still there. I'm afraid there will still be a hard fight. We are here to cover it."
Come on. Song Zhong, you accompany Commander Chi and his entourage back to the camp first, and let the soldiers below prepare meals and necessary food supplies. We will come back later."
Chi Zhongtian and other generals of the Northern Army were all moved. Chi Zhongtian even said with tears in his eyes: "Two generals, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Our combat strength is meager. Maybe it will be the soldiers of Hetao who stay."
burden, then we will take the first step."
"Legion Commander, walk slowly!" Dugu and Xinke said at the same time, cupping their hands.
Chi Zhongtian gave an order, and under the command of the generals, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Northern Army formed a team and began to march towards Jinyuan County. However, compared to the soldiers in Hetao, the formation of their soldiers was much more chaotic.
