The anger of the Xixia soldiers was ignited, and the swords and guns were on the ground. Long Chen said: "Kill these bald donkeys, take revenge, and prove that you are not cowards or turtles!"
When Long Chen did this, Zhang Qian and the others were shocked.
Give weapons to prisoners. What if these prisoners take up weapons and rebel?
"Isn't it too risky for your husband to do this?"
Dugu Jiali was very nervous. She gave the captain of the cavalry a wink. If the prisoners dared to rebel, they would be surrounded and killed immediately.
Zhang Qian and the others were very nervous, but Long Chen looked at the Xixia soldiers indifferently.
"The bald donkey who is raping your wives and daughters is right in front of you, don't you dare!"
Long Chen shouted again, and the Xixia soldiers picked up the swords and guns on the ground and shouted: "I am not a turtle! Kill him!"
The monk soldiers were frightened and shouted in panic: "We are also from Xixia. If you dare to take action, it is treason!"
"Kill us, you are also thieves, you will be punished by the nine tribes!"
The Xixia soldiers were extremely angry and did not care about treason or not.
"kill!"
The Xixia soldiers rushed into the monk soldiers with their weapons. Long Chen waved his hand, and the Long family army retreated, leaving a place for them to fight.
The monk soldiers were empty-handed and their numbers were small, so the Xixia soldiers were killed and there was blood all over the place.
Unable to resist, the monk soldiers turned around and rushed to the outside to escape.
Wu Chuchu was about to let the Long Family Army intercept and kill the fleeing monk soldiers, but Long Chen signaled to leave them alone and let the monk soldiers escape.
An hour later, the bodies of more than 20,000 monk soldiers were left on the ground.
The Xixia prisoners still held weapons in their hands, so Zhang Qian ordered a warning to prevent the prisoners from rebelling.
The others were very nervous, but Long Chen was very calm. He stood on the general stage, looked at the Xixia soldiers under the stage, and said, "Okay! They are all men!"
"The king now gives you several choices. You can stay in Yangcheng to farm, and the surrounding land will be distributed to you; you can also go back, but you must promise not to join the army again. If you are caught by the king again, you will be killed without mercy!"
"Of course, there is one last option. Join me and fight against Shi Le!"
The first two choices are both reasonable.
There are abandoned and unclaimed lands around Yangcheng, which can be left for farming.
If you want to go back, go back. This is Long Chen's kindness.
But the third choice, joining Long Chen's command to attack Shi Le, sounds unreliable.
Wu Xiangyun looked at Wu Chuchu and shook her head slightly. She felt that what Long Chen said was a bit unrealistic.
After all, these people are Xixia people, and it is easy to cause problems if they are integrated into the Long family army.
The Xixia soldiers in the audience were holding swords and guns and looking at Long Chen on the stage, they also felt strange.
Long Chen actually wanted them to join the Long Family Army?
"Do you think it's weird?"
Long Chen glanced at the audience and continued: "What I mean is that I will now appoint you as generals and you go and capture the Xixia city."
"If you capture the county seat, you will be the county magistrates; if you capture the prefectures and counties, you will be the prefects; if you capture Xingqing City, the Empress of Zhou will make you kings!"
Long Chen's voice was loud and everyone could hear it clearly.
This method was once used on the Xixia rebels, and now it is used on these Xixia prisoners.
Wu Jian watched the prisoner's reaction nervously in the audience. He was worried that Long Chen's trick was useless.
The rebel army was actually a riot. If they could be recognized by the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they would naturally be willing to join their ranks.
But these Xixia soldiers are regular troops, so they may not be willing.
When Long Chen saw that the prisoners were silent and no one responded, he loudly said: "Since I raised my army, I first destroyed Zhenguo Temple and then Yangcheng. Xixia will be destroyed sooner or later."
"Where will the county magistrates, prefects, and generals of Xixia be from now on? They will be right here with you!"
"Wealth is right in front of you, it just depends on whether you dare to take it or not!"
The scene became very quiet until a burly man with a spear came out, went to the general stage, and bowed to Long Chen: "Little Xixia Cavalry Captain Hu Jie, I am willing to serve under King Wu!"
Long Chen stretched out his hand and motioned for Hu Jie to come up.
Hu Jie walked up to the general stage with a spear in hand. Long Chen took Hu Jie's hand and said: "Today, I will confer Hu Jie as a general of heroic cavalry, commanding the Xixia cavalry!"
Hu Jie was originally just a cavalry captain, but Long Chen suddenly gave him the position of general. Hu Jie was overjoyed.
"Thank you to King Wu!"
Long Chen immediately said: "Go and order your troops. Those who are willing to follow you are your soldiers!"
"From you down, you can appoint generals, just tell me your names!"
This is tantamount to giving actual control of the military to Hu Jie.
Hu Jie said with great joy: "I will thank King Wu at last!"
Seeing that Hu Jie had benefited, the prisoners in the audience finally came forward and expressed their willingness to be loyal.
"The young infantry major general Lu Yi is willing to surrender to King Wu and obey his orders!"
"The little iron kite captain Jiang He is willing to serve under King Wu and obey orders!"
Long Chen also selected an infantry general from among the prisoners, and the other cavalry generals were all handled by Hu Jie.
Long Chen deliberately showed that he kept his word. He told Hu Jie to appoint the cavalry general, and Hu Jie would appoint the cavalry general.
Soon, Long Chen pulled together a group of more than 80,000 cavalry and infantry.
Zhao Ying didn't understand why these Xixia prisoners were willing to take refuge with Long Chen?
Aren't they afraid that their family members will be arrested?
"Why do they dare to do this?"
Zhao Ying couldn't help but ask Zhang Qian.
Zhang Qian shook her head slightly and didn't understand why.
Wu Jian said from the side: "My lord just ordered them to kill the Xixia monk soldiers, and deliberately let some of the monk soldiers escape."
"Kill those monk soldiers, and these people will have no way out."
"When the monk soldiers returned to Guancheng, they would definitely tell Shi Le that these people had defected to Zhou Dynasty and were traitors."
"They have no choice but to stay here and farm, or to fight with the adults."
"Of course, they can go back, but if they are caught, they may end up very miserable."
"Another point is that the monk soldiers who fled back will ask Shi Le where Kongji went."
"The monk soldiers in Guancheng know how to fry pots, so Shi Le will be busy."
After Wu Jian explained it, Zhang Qian and others suddenly understood.
"No wonder you wanted them to kill the monk soldiers and deliberately let some go."
Zhao Ying looked at Long Chen who was conferred as a general on the stage in astonishment. For the first time, she felt the terror of Long Chen.
In the past, she had only heard from Zhao Lun and others that Long Chen was cunning and vicious, but this time she saw it with her own eyes.
More than 20,000 monk soldiers were killed just to completely force the Xixia soldiers to rebel and leave them with no way to retreat.
The released monk soldiers can also cause the monk soldiers in Guancheng to fight with the government troops. It really kills two birds with one stone.
Is this man so scary?
Zhao Ying originally thought Long Chen was quite fun, and she played around with Long Chen.
Now she feels that may not be the case.
Could it be that Long Chen has been playing with her all along?
Is everything a trick by Long Chen?
Long Chen consecrated the cavalry and infantry generals on the spot and made an agreement with them to reward them based on their merits when Xixia was destroyed.
These Xixia prisoners did board Long Chen's pirate ship, and they knew there was no way to retreat.
In addition to those who defected to Long Chen and continued to serve as soldiers, there were also many people who chose to stay and farm.
Of course, there are also soldiers who really miss home or are not smart and want to go back.
They wanted to leave, so Long Chen immediately distributed food to them for them to eat on the way.
In one day, all the remaining prisoners were disposed of.
Hu Jie and his cavalry had eaten enough that day, distributed horses and weapons, and immediately plundered from north to west.
The infantry also issued weapons, and Long Chen asked them to attack from the south to the west.
The two armies from the north and the south attacked west together.
