Chapter 71 Assassination in the middle of the night
At dawn, the city of Delhi had completely fallen into the hands of Chi Aotian. 5,000 Black Dragon Knights and 2,000 Allied troops took control of all strategic locations along the east gate without any bloodshed.
More than 9,000 soldiers and mercenaries from the original Delhi City garrison were imprisoned in military camps outside the city.
Regarding how to deal with this group of surrendered soldiers, the officers of the Black Dragon Knights had an unprecedented fierce dispute, and some even slammed the table.
Qu Jianhong, who has always been at the forefront in the war, has a reputation as a "murderer" and is also the supreme commander of the Allied Forces. He firmly disagrees with the proposal of the chaplain. Standing firmly behind His Excellency Qu Jianhong are the elven archers.
The battalion chief and deputy battalion commander, the former heavy knight captain, four squadron captains and other officers with the title of Blue Ling Knight.
"Asshole! Your proposal is simply an asshole!" Qu Jianhong finally couldn't control his emotions and angrily drew out his knight's sword, and the long sword made an icy hollow sound in the air.
Tayang didn't seem to see the sharp sword that was almost touching his scalp. He frowned fiercely and changed the topic to stimulate the young noble's nerves that were on the verge of collapse: "Young man, could it be that your mother
Didn’t they teach you to respect the old and love the young? Is this really the behavior that a noble should have? No wonder, some people say that the country bumpkins in southern Xinjiang are still country bumpkins. Even if they drink milk for a few days and wear the badge of a nobleman on their chest for a few days, they still have nothing to do with it.
You can’t wash away the earthy smell of country bumpkin.”
The vicious words were very effective in the faces of almost everyone in the room, including His Excellency Chi Aotian.
"You fucking bastard!" The beautiful young man who had been humiliated from his family twisted his features together, almost squeezing out blood, threw away his sword, and punched the old man in the face.
Fortunately, not all the officers had lost their sense, and several officers behind him tried their best to hold him back.
A strange scene suddenly appeared. The moment his fist fell, the priest with messy white hair suddenly turned sideways, and a rough big hand grabbed the fist that was as white as jade. Then, the old man pushed back hard, and twisted.
Jianhong and three or four powerful officers behind him were pushed backwards and took two or three steps before they regained their footing.
A look of surprise invaded everyone's face in an instant. In the Southern Xinjiang Competition, if Qu Jianhong had not met the champion in advance, he would have been able to enter the championship battle. Several officers behind him were also extremely disappointed.
Not even Chi Aotian himself would have been able to push so many people out at the same time. What else could the red-faced old man in front of him hide?
"What to do?" Chi Aotian had to step forward.
"Your Excellency, General, please judge me. This kid has no reason for himself. He can't defeat me, so he just wants to take action, hoping that whoever has the bigger fist will be justified. General, you have to provide me with justice for this pitiful and skinny old man."
The priest immediately put on a pitiful expression, and the speed of his face change could be compared to that of a super bard in a performance.
Chi Aotian's red fingers were tightly twisted together, and the fingertips were pale due to blood loss. He pondered for a while but did not express his opinion.
"Your Excellency, have you forgotten the massacre order announced by the famous Lord Amy at Duanbing Port?" The pitiful look on Tayang's face disappeared instantly.
"Hmm...it seems different." Chi Aotian frowned tightly. Of course it was different. At that time, some human soldiers and mercenaries defected to the Fanos Army, and it almost became a prairie fire.
That was the punishment for human traitors, and now, it is the place where the Holy Holy See guards.
"But do you think that our 7,000 troops can control the situation? If we leave here..."
Tayang's words were interrupted again by Qu Jianhong: "You devil, how do you treat the enemies who surrendered, and the enemies who surrendered after the commander's order? No one with the spirit of chivalry has the right to massacre them in such a despicable way.
You will go to hell after death."
"Fuck chivalry!" Tayang slapped his heavy palms on the table, and fine dust flew in the sun: "Which emperor built a country based on fucking chivalry? In three hundred years, it is known as the most powerful country in the world.
What happened to the Knights Templar with chivalry? More than 600 of the noblest knights were accused of the most filthy crimes and all were executed! What the hell is chivalry, bullshit, this is how the monarch after the establishment of the country fooled you
The simplest trick of these little things. If you don’t execute these soldiers, once we leave, as long as one person raises his arms and shouts, all the little bastards will follow us and chase us to death!"
"You two, please be quiet and let me think about it again." Chi Aotian stopped the unnecessary quarrel.
Such words have been debated in this room for a whole morning. Killing all the surrendered enemies seems to be done once and for all, but it really has endless consequences. After such a war, wouldn't there be no more soldiers in any city?
Will he surrender? However, Tayang is definitely worried about the possibility of not killing. Ahem... It would be great if Amy were here. Chi Aotian couldn't help but have such irresponsible thoughts in his mind. With Amy
With my brain, I can already come up with an excellent solution to the problem.
Tayang didn't speak, but he held a wooden stick in his hand. He didn't know where it got a little water from, and he scratched it on the table. Chi Aotian glanced at it, and the old pastor actually wrote two sentences. The sentence on the left was
: Using thunderbolt means, the sentence on the right: Shows the heart of a Bodhisattva.
"Qu Jianhong."
"Here! Your Majesty General."
"Every group of 20 people will be taken outside the camp and asked if they are willing to join the army. Those who are willing will swear an oath in the name of the Creator God. Those who are not willing will be taken to another place and beheaded. Remember, do not give them any hints.
."
There was silence in the room. This kind of approach is only fifty steps or a hundred steps away from Tayan, or even more or less... It also has some traces of murder. "Yes." Qu Jianhong pondered for a moment and bowed deeply.
, turned around and walked out, and the thick door curtain fell heavily like the wind blowing.
"Your Excellency Tayang. You and Captain Mingzhu will lead all the sworn prisoners and the first and second squadrons of trainee knights to form a vanguard army. We will set off to the northeast early tomorrow morning and keep a distance of 20 miles from the rearguard..."
"What a good idea!" Before Chi Aotian finished speaking, Tayang's face showed surprise and he jumped up: "Great, let these prisoners of war join the war as soon as possible, huh... huh... the first few towns
, even if I kneel down and surrender, I will not agree. I must let every one of them have blood on their hands... Hehe, this is what the so-called surrender letter means. The idea of the major general is really weird, clean and powerful.
increased our combat effectiveness.”
The people in the room once again looked at the old man wearing a priest's robe in surprise... How could there be such a priest? Chi Aotian was speechless. For such a subordinate who "knows flowers and understands words", it is indeed superfluous to say anything.
, the other party will definitely explain it in a way that is beneficial to him. Chi Aotian murmured: "Well... Amy seems to have similar skills."
"Captain Winning, you lead your subordinates, select 1,500 strong men in the town, and disrupt the allied troops organized into His Excellency Qu Jianhong. This must be completed before tonight."
"Qingluo, Chang Qing, now, you take your headquarters to stay and do one thing. Command the remaining residents to demolish all the city walls... Well... I will leave you with a small team of trainee knights. The demolished city bricks,
Pile it all up and burn it to a crisp. It must be completed within 2 days, and then chase the large group of people."
"Yes, deputy commander." The cadres of the two small mercenary groups turned around and went down to arrange specific work.
With a dark face, Qu Jianhong asked his subordinates to find a large house outside the prisoner of war camp. Each group of 20 people pulled the prisoners in for questioning. Of course, the captain would not show his face - his dark mask.
It will definitely affect the mood of those who surrender.
Anyone who is willing to participate is immediately brought to the next door to swear an oath, and then the order is disrupted and a new combat unit of the Allied Forces is reorganized. Of course... most people are not willing to join the team of conquerors, but the soldiers on both sides politely invite
They went to the room on the other side to receive their severance package - three gold coins. More than 40 extremely fat and powerful Black Dragon Knights warriors were waiting for them there. The cleanup work was usually completed within a few minutes. The window
They were all covered with black quilts, and no sound could be heard at all. In less than half an hour, the room where the execution was first carried out was already filled with blood. The soles of shoes were stuck to the ground and it was almost impossible to pull them out. The corpses were neatly piled up.
It filled half the house.
His Excellency Qu Jianhong frowned, immediately arranged to move to a new room, and found other soldiers to clean the floor as soon as possible...
The massacre started at 11 o'clock at noon and ended at night when the lights were turned on. Of the more than 9,000 soldiers and mercenaries in Delhi, only 1,438 of them volunteered to join the enemy's army for whatever reason and narrowly escaped death. The remaining more than 7,900
All soldiers were secretly executed. The bodies were transported out of Delhi and burned that night. Anyway, there were three burning towns nearby. They were sent there and thrown into the fire. The hot bricks immediately ignited the clothes, and the fat flowed along.
The burst skin flowed out and instantly turned into tongues of fire. In just three hours, all traces of the massacre were erased.
Ordinary people were still completely kept in the dark. They only received news that all the original troops defending the city would be mobilized. Anyway, the entire neighborhood was in a state of abstinence, and the conquerors did not worry about any news leaking out.
Two days after Chi Aotian's army left Delhi City, several Delhi city cleaners discovered some clues - the sewers in Delhi City were filled with red liquid, and it took 10 days for this liquid to completely disappear. Kind-hearted people
The residents of Derry don't make too bad assumptions at all...kind people...
Lord Tayan faithfully fulfilled his promise. After setting off from the city of Delhi, he led an army of 3,000 people and roared across 7 small villages and towns. He did not make any stops along the way. The soldiers held their swords high,
There was no reason, no excuse, one massacre after another... In just three days, 1,438 former Delhi soldiers who had sworn allegiance to the Black Dragon Knights were killed by single digits, while fifteen times as many ordinary people were killed forever.
Lost the right to have blue sky and white clouds.
Although Tayang only set off one morning earlier than Chi Aotian's follow-up army, it was not until the third day that in the eighth town - Chongyi, the Allied brigade led by Qu Jianhong finally caught up with Tayang who was slaughtering all the way.
, What surprised Qu Jianhong and other officers was that throughout the seven battles, the more than 400-strong allied team led by Archpriest Tayang possessed the kind of death aura that Chi Aotian exuded. Fortunately, those who caught up
In time, otherwise, at least 2,000 more civilians will fall into the arms of death... The town finally has the right to surrender.
Murderous maniac... Facing Ta Yang, Chi Aotian also had such a shadow floating in his mind.
Chi Aotian's Northern Expedition is the darkest corner of the victorious side of the War of the Gods. The three warring parties are very secretive about it. It's not that they don't want to talk about it but they dare not talk about it. In private, no one will
Chi Aotian applauded Chi Aotian for his series of killings, massacres of prisoners, and massacres of civilians. However, few people criticized this despite the popularity of the Dragon God. In fact, after the war, several knight schools from the three parties criticized this incident.
Military deductions were made for the Northern Expedition, and the results of the derivation were gradually revealed to a small part of the superstructure 100 years after the war ended. The Northern Expedition of Huayu Plains, with the manpower and financial resources at that time, except for the one used by Chi Aotian,
There is no other way to drink Mauru. The total number of people who died directly in this war reached about 3.1 million, and the number of people who died indirectly in the war reached about 2.43 million. About 30% of the population of the Holy See disappeared. This war
The war prompted the War of the Gods to end three years early.
At this time, it has been a full month and a half since Chi Aotian set off. According to the scale of the map, it is only a standard distance of nine days from the east coast. The closer to the target, Chi Aotian's mood becomes more and more sinking. I don't know if Xue
What's going on over there with the Moon Legion? There's no news about this during the continuous campaign? Tomorrow, the large group of mad vulture troops should be able to come and join together, and at least 100 mad vulture knights must be dispatched to conduct a relay inspection of the front.
Late at night, the small town was originally home to the swordsman camp.
After the impromptu officers' meeting, Chi Aotian returned to the room assigned to him - this should have been the original residence of the captain of the swordsman battalion. It was quite large, with an inner and outer room, and even a large square table for handling official business.
For more than 40 consecutive days, in addition to marching and fighting along the way, the total rest time was less than 10 days, and most of the time was basically spent on horseback. This kind of intensity is difficult for ordinary people to bear, especially
The feeling of tightness in the lower back on horseback may not even be as comfortable as fighting after a long time.
Being able to sit on such a large solid wood chair with high back and double armrests is a rare treat for any officer.
Chi Aotian is no exception.
The large map of Huayu Plain was spread on the table. Chi Aotian leaned forward on the back of his chair and marked it with a quill. When he was a child, he saw his father doing such a thing. At that time, he didn't understand it.
What's the point? As a soldier, it's usually not until you have a chance to take charge of your own role that you can realize the feeling of "taking advantage of the map will make you regret less".
All generals will be dissatisfied with the map during the war - no matter how refined the map is, it is impossible to truly reproduce all the topography. Ignoring any tiny part on the map may lead to a waste of time.
.Unfortunately, this place has gone deep into the hinterland of the Flower Language Plain. On the imperial standard map, this generation has been so simple that there are only rough rivers, mountains, and mainland highways. If there are more accurate maps, maybe...
Chi Aotian was looking at the map with a little regret when a death scream suddenly came from the yard!
"There are assassins - uh..." A guard just sounded the alarm, and then made a cracking and hoarse voice!
You could hear the two guards at the door fiercely drawing out their swords and jumping down the steps at the same time. After a short breath, red liquid splashed on the window paper, and then came the dying warning from the guards: "General...
…Small……"
Assassin?! There are four floors of guards outside Chi Aotian's house. What assassin actually broke through four floors and more than ten guards in a very short period of time?! Even Chi Aotian with the help of the Creation Divine Sword would have difficulty in such a short period of time.
Time to do this. You will never use the Dragon Knight as an assassin.
With doubts floating in Chi Aotian's mind, he pulled out Xinghan like lightning and raised his hand to extinguish the candle on the table.
The wooden door was smashed open in an instant, and the body of a guard flew in, hit the wall and then fell to the ground. Four or five tall and muscular men in black broke into the house almost at the same time.
Through the light from the back room, Chi Aotian could even see the bright red blood dripping on the sharp swords in the hands of the assassins. The smiles of catching the big fish bloomed on the murderous faces of many assassins...
