Chapter 222 Iron and blood means, intimidation is rarer than silver
"Clang!"
Tian Kai glanced at Ji Chou, who was doing nothing on the top of the city, and dropped the weapon in his hand first. After turning over and dismounting, he closed his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Tian Kai is willing to surrender!"
"Oh, Yan Gang, I am willing to surrender!"
Yan Gang sighed helplessly. It wasn't that they were incompetent, but because Ju Yi was too blindly confident, which ruined their path. Now they were trapped in a tight siege. Even if Ji Chou could lead people to fight out of the city, it would be difficult.
Solve this fatal situation.
"I'm waiting for you!"
"I surrender, please general, please don't kill me!"
"I surrendered too!"
...
Both generals surrendered, and the rest of the soldiers did not dare to take any drastic action. They threw off their armor and knelt down to beg for surrender.
Seeing that the other party surrendered, Zhang Liao quickly ordered people to collect the rebel weapons and take custody of the rebels.
This battle lasted only a few hours, but due to various coincidences, Zhang Liao managed to defeat Ju Yi's 1,500 soldiers with more than 200 casualties. Zhang Liao's side won the first battle, and his morale was naturally high.
, On the other hand, Ji Chou in Ma Cheng was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder broke apart. All his plans were destroyed because of Ju Yi's disillusionment.
"Ju Yifu, you mistook me, you mistook me..."
"puff!"
Ji Chou stood at the top of the city, looking at his subordinates who were kneeling outside the city. His chest suddenly became stagnant. After a mouthful of old blood spurted out, he fell straight down.
"General...general..."
Ji Chou's fall frightened the surrounding guards so much that they were all at a loss and worked hard for a while before they were able to carry him off the top of the city.
Xi Zhicai, with his feather fan and silk scarf, stood on a small mound under the guard of a group of soldiers and quietly observed the scene at the top of the city. Naturally, he had a panoramic view of Ji Chou vomiting blood and falling to the ground.
"Zhicai! Our army has won a great victory in this battle. Ju Yi's 1,500 soldiers are now the only ones left. The rest are either running away or dead!"
At this time, Zhang Liao rushed to Xi Zhicai's side and said excitedly: "Now there are only 500 people in the city named Xian Yuyin. What do you think we should do next?"
"Persuade to surrender!"
Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look of wisdom flashing in his eyes. As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, he blurted out these two words lightly.
"What? Persuade you to surrender?"
Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this. Even if he defeated Ju Yi and gained a lot, there are still five hundred soldiers and horses in Ma City. How can he persuade them to surrender? Are they all cowards? If they are all cowards, it will not happen.
Engage in this kind of rebellious business.
Zhang Liao only felt that Xi Zhicai was crazy, or else there was something wrong with Zhang Liao's ears and his hearing was misunderstood.
"If they don't surrender, we will build the Jingguan, and then storm Ma City. After the city is broken, no chickens or dogs will be left behind!"
The corner of Xi Zhicai's mouth curled up slightly, and he explained nonchalantly: "And the day when the city is destroyed can only be today!"
It stands to reason that Xi Zhicai's previous layout showed his talent as a mastermind, so Zhang Liao couldn't see or guess why he wanted to act like a butcher now. However, since Xi Zhicai said so, he had no choice but to act according to his orders.
"Then... well, I will immediately order people to collect the bodies of the enemy's dead soldiers."
The purpose of building the Jingjing Temple was to show off one's illustrious martial arts and also serve as a deterrent to opponents, so Zhang Liao thought about this with a wry smile.
"Need not!"
Xi Zhicai shook his feather fan lightly, pointed at the kneeling soldiers in the distance, and said softly: "Use their bodies to build this Beijing temple!"
"What?" Zhang Liao was shocked when he heard this, but then he was afraid of being heard by the soldiers in the distance, so he quickly lowered his voice.

Yin asked again: "This is a killing! It's harmful to Tianhe. If the lord finds out, I will have no choice but to die!"
In the previous military training, Zhu Han had given many instructions and instructions to surrender without killing. This was his principle in running the army. Of course, this unwritten prohibition was only valid for fellow Chinese, but for foreigners, Zhu Han once said
, if there is a deep hatred, the clan can be exterminated. If there is an ordinary provocation, and one enters the clan, any man who is taller than a wheel will be killed.
Zhu Han's business philosophy is to prey on the weak. In this era, the law of wolf nature is the most suitable for his development. Zhu Han may be lenient to his own people, but to his enemies, his methods will be unlimited.
As long as he can win, Zhu Han will do it without even frowning, even if he digs the opponent's ancestral grave.
"Lord, I will explain it to you!" Xi Zhicai also knew about Zhu Han's prohibition, but sometimes he would not point it out and would just pretend to be dumbfounded. Anyway, Zhu Han did not form a document for people to remember, and
It's just verbal talk, who knows whether what he said is true or false. Even if it is true, after doing all this, it can only be regarded as false.
"You just need to say, do you dare?"
"Hmph, why don't you dare? If I kill those people and this horse city is still not broken, what will you do?"
Zhang Liao had just come off the battlefield and was still full of evil spirits. Now that he was provoked by Xi Zhicai, he didn't care about what Zhu Han had said at the beginning. He only wanted to prove to Xi Zhicai that Zhang Liao was a man.
"As long as Wenyuan does what I say, if Ma City is not destroyed today, you can behead me!"
Xi Zhicai was full of confidence. Before he came here, he had done homework on the four generals under Ji Chou in this horse city. Now that Zhang Liao captured three generals, how could the fourth general in the city have a chance to escape?
These four people have long been meat in his bowl and dinner in his play with Zhicai.
"Okay! This is what you said!"
Zhang Liao looked deeply at Xi Zhicai, then turned and left. As he walked, he shouted loudly: "All the officers and soldiers obey the order and escort all the prisoners of war to a hundred feet below the city of Macheng!"
"promise!"
No one understood the meaning of Zhang Liao's general order, but the general had spoken, so they had no choice but to comply.
Not long after, more than 800 prisoners of war were all kneeling outside Macheng. There were nine rows of a hundred people in rows. The three in front of them were Ju Yi, Tian Kai and Yan Gang.
"General Zhang, we have all surrendered. Why are you doing this? Why?"
Tian Kai was so frightened that his face turned pale. He felt something was wrong when Zhang Liao gave the order. He thought to himself, he and others had surrendered now, why would he escort them to Macheng City? At first, he thought Zhang Liao wanted them.
Attacking the city, but now it seems, is not as simple as he thought.
All the prisoners of war were kneeling, and about ten of them were strung together in a string with their hands tied behind their backs using a hemp rope. For every ten or so prisoners, there would be a soldier standing to maintain order. Looking at this posture, it seemed that they were about to be executed.
Not to mention that Tian Kai meant something wrong, even Yan Gang noticed something unusual. This posture frightened him so much that he almost made a fool of himself in public.
There was no shortage of clever people among the prisoners of war, and they all saw what Zhang Liao wanted to do.
"General, we have surrendered, surrendered, you can't kill us, you can't kill us!"
"Yes, general, we are still useful. We can attack the city for you. Give me a weapon and I will attack the city for the general."
"What? They want to kill us? Didn't we surrender?"
"No way? Are you really going to kill us?"
.......
If someone takes the lead in making noise, others will naturally follow suit. Before long, the group of about 800 prisoners of war is making a lot of noise.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Some people were even ready to stand up to resist, but were pushed to the ground by the soldiers who were already waiting.
"If anyone dares to make noise again, he will be killed!"
Zhang Liao looked indifferent, jumped on his horse in front of the people, and roared.
This roar was so shocking that it temporarily frightened the group of prisoners of war. Some of them had angry faces, while others closed their eyes and waited for death. Some of the timid ones had already been so frightened that they peed their pants, with yellow and white coming out, and the stench
Xuntian.
But due to Zhang Liao's majesty, no one dared to shout loudly anymore.
"General, General Zhang Liao, I am Tian Kai, Tian Kai, you should still remember me, right?"
Tian Kai, with his hands tied behind his back, knelt on the ground and kept bending down to please Zhang Liao, "As long as General Zhang is willing to bypass this villain, and this villain is willing to accept the general as his master, from now on, I will never frown in the face of swords and fire."
"Yes, yes, General Zhang, Yan Gang is also willing to recognize you as my master. From now on, I will obey your orders!"
Seeing his friend Tian Kai begging for mercy, Yan Gang followed suit.
"Humph! If a man dies, he will die! What is there to be afraid of?"
Ju Yi had a look of disgust on his face. He was in the same row as Tian Kai and Yan Gang. He felt very unlucky and immediately shouted angrily at Zhang Liao: "Zhang Wenyuan, since I was defeated by you, it is because my skills are inferior to others.
Whether you want to kill or behead him today, please do as you wish, but... I would like to advise you, don’t treat me like a monkey, if you want to kill me, please do it quickly!"
"Ju Yi, you are quite a man!"
Listening to Tian Kai and Yan Gang's unfulfilling words, Zhang Liao just frowned slightly, but if he put himself in their shoes and put himself in their shoes, if he, Zhang Liao, were in the same situation as them, he might behave the same way!
After all, there is only one life, and everyone will cherish it. However, Ju Yi's performance made him greatly appreciate it, but Xi Zhicai had the order first, and he couldn't say anything else. If Xi Zhicai said beheading, he would
He could only kill Ju Yi with his eyes closed.
"Zhicai, I have done everything you asked me to do. What will happen next?"
Logically speaking, Xi Zhicai should not be such a bloodthirsty person, but it is possible that someone else has such a quirk. Zhang Liao has already begun to think about how to absolve Zhu Han of Xi Zhicai's guilt. After all, this is just a few
Hundreds of people are really not as important as Xi Zhicai.
"Well! Now that Wen Yuan is far away, we still need Wen Yuan to pass some messages to the Nama City guard Xian Yuyin on behalf of Xi!"
Zhang Liao's execution ability is really strong. Even if his order to play Zhicai involves the lives of hundreds of innocent people, Zhang Liao will not even frown when he executes it. This is the determination that only an iron-blooded general possesses.
Tian Kai and Yan Gang saw that Zhang Liao wanted to listen to Xi Zhicai's words, so they changed the direction and begged Xi Zhicai for mercy.
"If you dare to make noise again, I will be chopped off!" Xi Zhicai was quite shameless about the behavior of these two weaklings, but everyone had their own character, and he would not force others to do anything.
Seeing the drama, Tian Kai and Yan Gang became furious. Tian Kai and Yan Gang quickly closed their mouths tightly, but their eyes showed their hope for life.
After listening to Xi Zhicai's instructions, Zhang Liao hurriedly rode forward and shouted towards Xian Yuyin high on the top of the city: "In today's battle, all your elites have been lost. Do you still want to fight stubbornly? I am thinking in my heart.
I am of the Yanhuang lineage, and if you, Xian Yuyin, are willing to open the door and leave the city to surrender, your life will be spared!"
"If not, I will order the more than 800 prisoners of war behind me to be beheaded, and then storm Ma City. After the city is defeated, no chickens or dogs will be left in Ma City!"
"Whether they live or die, it all depends on your single thought. From now on, I will give you a stick of incense to think about it!"
