Before they had time to evacuate, nearly five thousand Jin soldiers were captured.
But now these prisoners of war were all in ragged clothes and unarmed, and were driven away by the Yuan and Mongolian armies, and were slowly and reluctantly forced towards the Jin army camp.
"Qin Liangyu, look, these are the soldiers you left behind. It is because of your incompetence that they became prisoners of my Dayuan, hahaha..."
Wo Kuotai laughed extremely arrogantly. He looked at Qin Liangyu in the camp and gritted his teeth. He wanted to rush out and give him a knife immediately.
There were 5,000 Jin soldiers who were captured, but there were 6,000 prisoners of war pressed in front of the camp. Obviously the extra ones were Yuan and Meng soldiers in disguise.
"What should the general do now? Should he release the arrow?"
Qin Lie asked anxiously, while Qin Liangyu stared straight ahead without saying a word.
The prisoners of war in front of the camp were crying. Some begged the Jin army for mercy, and some wanted Yuanmeng to beg for mercy. There were even a handful of people who attacked the Yuanmeng camp in the opposite direction, but were shot into pieces before they could even take a few steps.
.
The prisoners of war were getting closer and closer to the camp, but not only Qin Liangyu still said nothing, but even Meng Tian didn't speak. Qin Lie on the side said anxiously: "General, you can't wait any longer. Order the arrows to be fired quickly, otherwise
This second camp is in danger of being lost again."
"There are all our soldiers in the front..."
Liulang's second wife, Wang Lanying, looked intolerable, but she still held back her words.
"General."
Qin Lie's anxious forehead was sweating. Seeing that Qin Liangyu still didn't react at all, he immediately took the flag from Qin Liangyu's hand, rushed forward and shouted: "Fire the arrow."
The Jin army's military orders were extremely strict. It could be said that there were mountains of military orders. Once the order was issued, even if the prisoners in front were their brothers, relatives and friends, the Jin army's archers could only reluctantly fire arrows.
For a while, arrows rained down from the sky above the camp, but due to the remote distance, they only killed or wounded the first few hundred people.
"Ah, don't shoot arrows, we are one of our own..."
"Mom, my dear, please forgive me for being unfilial and unable to support you until the end of your life..."
"I want to go home, wuwu..."
The prisoners of war in the middle of the two armies, no matter whether they advance or retreat, there is only one way to die, and everyone is in despair.
Seeing that the Jin army really fired arrows, Wo Kuotai couldn't help but sneer. He used prisoners of war to attack the camp. Regardless of whether the Jin army fired arrows or not, he would definitely be the one to benefit in the end.
If the Jin army did not fire arrows, the Yuan and Meng soldiers mixed in with the prisoners of war would take advantage of the situation and attack the camp, and the camp would be destroyed by then.
If the Jin army fires arrows and attacks its own people so cruelly, the rest of the soldiers will inevitably die in grief. The morale of the Jin army will also be shaken by this, and it will be easier for Yuan Meng to attack the camp.
"Meng Tian, ah Meng Tian, no matter how clever you are, you still haven't fallen into my scheme." Wo Kuotai thought with great joy in his heart.
But at this moment, Qin Liangyu also rushed forward and shouted: "No arrows allowed."
An order issued by the Lord himself is more binding than a command flag.
The archers in front of the camp gate were unwilling to kill each other, so they immediately stopped firing arrows after hearing Qin Liangyu's order.
"General, you..."
Qin Lie had a look of hatred on his face and was ready to continue persuading him, but Qin Liangyu didn't give him a chance to speak. He ran to the camp gate and knelt down with a bang.
"All the captured soldiers, it was my incompetence, Qin Liangyu, who harmed you, but as your commander-in-chief, I am here to beg you not to move forward."
Seeing Qin Liangyu's low profile, not only the prisoners in front of the camp, but also all the generals in the camp also looked sad.
Looking at Qin Liangyu's back, Qin Lie could not help but murmur: "General, eldest lady, alas..."
"If the second camp is breached again, the three subsequent camps are destined to be unable to hold, and the passage between Hetao and Bingzhou will be opened. At that time, hundreds of people in Bingzhou will face the slaughter of aliens, and this
That includes your family."
As he said that, Qin Liangyu raised his head and continued: "I know this is shameless and very difficult, but I, Qin Liangyu, still want to say it, soldiers, for your families, for the millions of people in Bingzhou, I beg you...
go to hell."
Qin Liangyu shouted the last three words, "Go to hell" with all her strength. After shouting, she seemed to have been drained of all her strength. These words also made all the prisoners of war stop.
After a moment of silence, an unknown prisoner of war soldier suddenly raised his arm and shouted: "I really don't want to die, but I can't let my wife, children, and parents die just because I want to live."
"
"I don't want to die either. My daughter is only three years old..."
"My son is only one month old..."
"My mother is seventy-eight years old. How can she live if I die? But if they are going to die if I live, I would rather die myself."
Countless similar words rang out among the prisoners of war. After hearing this, Qin Liangyu could no longer bear it and cried bitterly in front of the camp gate.
At this moment, Meng Tian also walked out and shouted: "Soldiers, I, Meng Tian, promise you that if you die in battle, you will receive double the pension."
"No."
Qin Liangyu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up with determination, and said in a deep voice: "Three times. I, Qin Liangyu, swear here that I will collect three times the pension for those of you who died in the war. If you violate this oath,
, the sky was struck by lightning.”
The Yuanmeng soldiers hiding among the Jin prisoners of war saw that something was wrong, and immediately cursed Qin Liangyu and Meng Tian, trying to incite hatred among the prisoners of war, but their curses were drowned out by the shouts of the Jin prisoners of war.
The prisoners of the Jin army were all desperate and believed that they would definitely die, but before they died, they learned that after their death, their families would receive three times the pension, and they suddenly no longer had any worries in their hearts.
"General, don't worry, even if Yuan Meng puts a knife to my neck, I will never take another step forward."
"Yes, I would rather die than harm my family."
…
Qin Liangyu and Meng Tian looked at each other, their eyes filled with emotion and relief.
The officers and soldiers of the Jin army in the camp couldn't help but show excitement and joy when they saw that the prisoners of war team not only stopped, but also responded to the Chiang Kai-shek army at the camp gate.
"Sirs, there are many Yuan and Mongolian soldiers among you. Although they wear the same clothes as you, the foreigners are different from us Han people, and they must have weapons hidden on their bodies."
Qin Liangyu had a trace of killing intent in his eyes and continued to shout: "Now I will give you the final order to find the Yuan Meng soldiers around you, take away their weapons, and kill them all."
As soon as Qin Liangyu said this, the expressions of all the prisoners of war changed instantly, and they couldn't help but look at the people around them.
"Zhuzi, what do you think I am doing? We are from the same village, and we joined the army together."
"Who is looking at you? I am looking at the person behind you. He seems to be hiding a weapon."
"It's true, he must be from Yuanmeng. Let's work together to kill him."
"I have one here too. He has a knife. Here are some helpers."
"Wait for me, brother. We will deal with this Yuan Meng man and we will go over to help you immediately."
As more and more people were picked out and beaten to death with random fists, the remaining Yuanmeng soldiers who were hiding panicked and immediately stepped forward and began to attack the Jin soldiers around them.
For a moment, the scene couldn't help but become a mess.
