They gave up chasing the defeated generals and turned back. Along the way, corpses of enemy soldiers could be seen everywhere. Some had been blown stiff by the north wind, like pieces of frozen meat. Some were not completely cold.
Black and red blood continued to flow from the wound, covering the frozen blood clots on the ground with a thick layer.
Near the dark and cold blood ice, there are piles of smoking tents. The flames appear and disappear behind the smoke, like ghosts in hell walking at night with lanterns. Some seriously injured rebel soldiers were temporarily
Not yet breathing out, they struggled to support their bodies with their arms and slowly squirmed toward the fire. They did not want to be led into the dark and cold hell by death, and they tried to grasp the last warmth in this world. However, their efforts were doomed to be in vain.
, soon soldiers from the Anxi Army came over, stabbed the dying struggler a few times, and then quickly cut off the head.
"Ah!" "Have mercy!" "Mercy!" "Ah!" Screams and begging for mercy came one after another, mixed with the dull sound of knife slashing on the dead body, which made people's back numb.
Even though he was used to seeing death scenes, Chu Duyan also felt shuddering. He stopped his mount, stretched out his hand to pull the reins of Wan Qi Yu Xie's horse, and suggested begging, "There is no need to kill them all! It is impossible for these people to resist now."
With all your strength, leaving them alive will not affect the outcome of the battle!"
Wanqi Yuxie's official rank is higher than his, and he has been in the Anxi Army longer than him. Naturally, he is more qualified to make partial adjustments to the commander's orders based on the actual situation on the battlefield. But the latter has no intention of doing so. He shakes his head and lowers his voice.
He responded loudly: "It's such a cold weather and the injuries are so serious. Even if they don't have a wound on them, they won't be able to survive until dawn. It would be a good thing to send them off early! Besides, heading east from Chang'an, everything is going away right now."
It is within the control of the rebels. No one, whether it is Cui Qianyou, Li Chenggui, Shi Siming or Cai Xide, is willing to watch us take Chang'an. If the general does not kill more harshly this time, let other rebels
If the army is afraid, we don’t know how many unjust wars we will fight and how many brothers will die in the future!”
Chu Dueye was dumbfounded. He could not fully accept Wanqi Yuxie's explanation in his heart, but he could not say anything else. Wanqi Yuxie looked at him and added earnestly: "When I was the same age as our general, I still carried
With a broken sword, he was looking for people to compete in martial arts all over the world. But he shouldered the burden of inheriting the commander-in-chief's legacy, rebuilding the Anxi Army, and rebuilding the Tang Dynasty all by himself. Although he never shouted in front of his brothers
Life is painful and tiring. But as long as anyone thinks about it carefully, he will know how difficult it is for him. Therefore, those of us who are subordinates, if we can share the burden, try our best to share it for him. Even if we cannot share it, we must not give it to him.
Adding chaos. As for the life and death of other people, to be honest, I don’t want to care at all, and it has nothing to do with us at all!”
"Brother Wanqi is right, Chu was too kind to a woman just now!" Chu Duyan clasped his fists and accepted the lesson in awe. Wanqi Yuxie was right, he is now a member of the Anxi Army, of course
The interests of the Anxi Army must come first in everything. As for other people, whether it is the rebels or the court, they are far less important than the Anxi Army. After all, if Wang Xun's banner falls, the Anxi Army will be completely finished. No matter in everyone's heart,
No matter how many lofty ideals there are, they will all become shadows in dreams.
But this kind of endless killing? Taking advantage of others not paying attention, Chu Duyan secretly took a look at the purgatory of blood and fire, shaking his head slightly. The general is now becoming more and more like an ancient famous general.
It showed the majesty of a person in authority. In his eyes, the nearly a thousand injured rebels were probably just a bunch of chess pieces. They would sweep them off the chessboard without any hesitation.
One general can achieve great success, and as long as he can win in the end, he will probably not hesitate at all when it comes to sacrificing his own people. Which one is more powerful between this kind of Wang Xun and the former Wang Xun who was a little raw and a little weak?
Better? It was difficult for Chu Duyan to come to a conclusion. He only felt that the colors of the blood and fire around him were getting brighter and brighter, like needles, which stung his eyes.
Because his mood was too dull, he did not return to the battlefield after finding the vanguard camp led by Zhu Wuyi and Ma Yue. Wanqi Yuxie could understand Chu Duyan's mood and did not force it, so he sent two brothers
Follow him and go to Wang Xun to report the victory and ask for instructions on the next task. The three of them searched for a moment along the direction of the main attack, and soon saw where the handsome flag was. They jumped off their mounts and walked slowly over.
Many generals had arrived before this, and they were all surrounded under the commander's flag, talking and laughing loudly. In tonight's battle, the Anxi Army sneaked up on the 5,000 rebels with a force of 15,000, and the victory was hard to come by.
Hearing the scream of the horse beside Chu Duyan, everyone turned around and opened a passage for him with a smile, "General Chu is here, where is General Wanqi? Tonight, your Huya Camp really showed its face!"
"General Wanqi helped the front selection camp to train troops. He said that the recruits should see more blood so that their legs will not weaken in future battles." Chu Duyan smiled and handed over to everyone, and then bowed to Wang Xun and saluted: "Qi Qi
General, I humbly accept the order of General Wanqi and come here to pay the order to the general. General Wanqi lives, if you have any new tasks, please"
"Okay!" Wang Xun smiled and waved his hand, "Wanqi is getting better and better at flattering. Is there any new task for you tonight? Could it be that he hasn't had enough of fighting yet and wants to take the opportunity to sneak attack on Chang'an City?
!!”
The generals laughed loudly, and for a moment, they felt so heroic. They all felt that it was not a bad idea to attack Chang'an on horseback. Although they may not be able to attack the city as they wished, they could at least scare Sun Xiaozhe half to death.
Wang Xun pressed his hand downwards and gradually stopped laughing. "How are the losses at Huya Camp? Have you counted the number of casualties? It is not easy for us to put together such a team. The losses are huge. In tonight's battle, we will...
The gain outweighs the loss.”
"General Lao is worried, brothers, the losses are not heavy!" Hearing that Wang Xun cared so much about the safety of the soldiers of Huya Camp, a slight warmth suddenly surged in Chu Duyan's cold heart, "It's just that when we captured the gate of the camp, we lost
Seven brothers were injured. Then there were no further casualties. The general responded in time, and the soft chain armor he equipped for the brothers was also light and easy to use!"
"It's good that the damage is not serious!" Wang Xun nodded happily. "Come here, pour some wine for General Chu. There are still several generals who have not sent anyone to deliver the news. Let's drink and wait for them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of warm cheers suddenly sounded from around him. Immediately afterwards, Fang Ziling led a group of brothers and pushed several guys covered in blood into the crowd. "General, the general dug out a few people from the pile of dead bodies.
A big living person! I brought it here specially for you to appreciate!"
"Spare your life!" Before Wang Xun could say anything, a guy wearing an ordinary rebel uniform shouted for mercy, "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender. General, please spare me. I am willing to lead the horse for the general in the future. Drop the stirrup to thank you for your life!"
"Shameless!" Another prisoner rushed towards the beggar to surrender and tried to knock him into the fire. On the way, he was held down by Fang Ziling's subordinates. He knelt on the ground and yelled, "Isn't it just a death? What's the big deal? ?. We fought all the way from Yuyang to Chang'an, and I didn't know how many people we killed, but we are still afraid of death?! Shut up now, don't embarrass your old Cui family!"
"Qin, you want to die yourself, don't drag others with you!" Instead of being scolded for courage, the beggar became even more courageous. "The last general is Cui Yunqi, Cui Qianyou's nephew, Cui Qianyou's nephew. If you old Please forgive me. I am willing to write a letter to urge my uncle to abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible!"
For such a spineless guy, Wang Xun didn't even bother to take another look. He shook his head and ordered the prisoners to be taken away, "Push them out and behead them, and use their blood to commemorate the brothers who died in the battle tonight. We will find him pretending to be dead later." There’s no need to send them to me. I don’t want to make them sick when I see them!”
Fang Ziling stuck out his tongue before flattering him, and led his brothers to push the prisoners out. The rebel deputy general Qin Degang shrugged and strode away. Several other prisoners, along with Cui Yunqi, His legs were dragging on the ground, refusing to leave, "The general has mercy, the general has mercy. I didn't want to offend the general Huwei. It was Cui Qianyou, the old thief Cui Qianyou who forced me to come here." !”
"Compassion?" Wang Xun put down the wine cup in his hand and sneered loudly: "Are you worthy of talking about compassion? When you destroyed my home and killed my neighbors, did you ever think about the word 'compassion'?"
The prisoners were stopped by him, and each one cried and collapsed on the ground, allowing Fang Ziling and his men to drag them away. Wang Xun still had unvented anger in his heart, gritted his teeth, and a cold light shot out from his eyes: " Those who destroy my homeland shall die! Wang does not care whose grandson or nephew you are. This is the case today and it will be the same in the future."
"Those who destroy my homeland will die!" A group of Anxi army generals who once lived near Chang'an and followed Wang Xun to fight from the Central Plains to the Western Regions and then came back from the Western Regions repeated in unison. They fought bloody battles along the Yaochashui River and fought for hundreds of years. The reason why they died without turning around was because there was a family behind them, a proud Tang Dynasty. But when everyone finally fought their way out of the world thousands of miles away, they suddenly looked back and found that the Tang Dynasty had collapsed. The Tang Dynasty that they had been dreaming about had collapsed. That home had been burned to ruins by the rebels.
With such hatred and hatred, how can there be any room for mercy? Even if Wang Xun promised to let the prisoners live, everyone would secretly follow them and cut them into pieces. Even if they remain anonymous from now on and do not care about the war; even if they run away To the ends of the earth!
"Those who destroy my homeland will die!"
"Those who destroy my homeland, die!" The roars were repeated loudly by the soldiers of the old Anxi Army and the new Anxi Army. They rushed along the smoke and fire, piercing the boundless darkness, and then merged into the boundless darkness again.
