I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 278

If eaten by the enemy.

Doesn't that mean that all the food sent out of the city is owned by the enemy?
Any sane commander would not agree to this.

really.

When the soldiers sent by Li Xin informed King Yu Cheng to provide food for these captives, King Yu Cheng refused directly.

In his opinion.

The people of Qin are extremely treacherous. The food provided by these people will definitely be kept by these evil Qin soldiers for all of them, and then used for their own food.

Therefore, he directly rejected the request of the soldiers of Qin State, refused, and provided rations for the captured soldiers on his side.

The moment I heard the news.

Li Xin couldn't help but shook his head.

At this moment, he murmured helplessly.

"You can't blame me!"

Yes, of course he can't be blamed for this.

After all, Dawan refused to provide food to the prisoners, and it was impossible for Li Xin to use his precious food reserves to feed these enemies and the surrendered prisoners, under such circumstances.

He was left with two choices.

One is to let those captives just be so hungry.

Give them all and starve to death.

One is to kill and capture prisoners!
Li Xin would not starve the captives to death.

the reason is simple.

The process of starving prisoners to death was very long. During this long process, Li Xin and the others needed to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to take care of these prisoners and prevent them from rioting.

Under such circumstances, Li Xin would definitely not choose this method.

Therefore, there is only one, the easiest way - to kill the prisoners!
Killing prisoners is very common in Qin State.

the reason is.

Qin people regard military merit as their title.

And the head is equivalent to military merit, although Da Qin, under Ying Changsheng's persuasion, has long established the rule that taking prisoners is equivalent to military merit.

But here's the problem.

Taking prisoners is equivalent to military merit, but that happens elsewhere.

In today's Dawan, on a foreign land, there are captives who may rebel at any time.

Carrying these will consume the prisoners who don't have much food on their side.

That is simply, the most stupid thing.

How could a general of Qin do such a stupid thing?

Ever since, it was only possible to make these captives miserable.

Right now, following Li Xin's order.

On the battlefield, after the fight was completed, all the weapons of the soldiers of the Dawan Kingdom that were left on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Qin Army who gathered their horses were successfully left behind.

Li Xin was looking at the war horse in front of him with a smile.

There are a total of more than [-] war horses, which were found on the battlefield.

They are all excellent Dawan horses.

As for the remaining horses?

Then they were either killed or brought into the city by Dawan soldiers.

At this moment, Li Xin took a look at the more than sixty horses that had not been hit by cannon bullets or injured. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to dig a well to get some clean water, and then brushed the horses clean. On the one hand, with his cold gaze, he glanced at the Dawan soldiers who were tied together with ropes.

Immediately, he waved his hand to signal the army.

"Destroy all the captives in batches and completely!"

After speaking, Li Xin said again.

"By the way, first clean up the corpses on the battlefield and leave all the horse corpses behind!"

"Quickly, make it into jerky. These days, all soldiers must eat horse meat as their staple food!"

"Everything, save food!"

"As for the remaining corpses, they will all be dug to bury them!"

"Let these Dawan soldiers be responsible for digging pits. Don't give them tools to prevent them from rioting. Let them use them to dig. After digging, they will be completely eliminated. Understand?"

"understand!"

All of a sudden, all the soldiers shouted.

There is also a reason for digging pits and burying corpses.

Because a large number of corpses, if not properly buried, will lead to a consequence.

That is, it will make the army infected with the plague.

In this situation.

A hole must be dug to prevent this result from occurring.

Therefore, Li Xin's order seemed completely normal.

The captives outside the city thought that the soldiers of the Qin Army had asked them to dig pits to bury the bodies of those dead compatriots.

They acted quickly, and finished digging the pit before dark, and were thrown into the pit one by one with the corpses, and they were all Dawan's captives, ready to take a breath, rest for a while, and plead for these The soldiers of Qin State, give them some water to drink and some time to eat.

All of a sudden, these Qin soldiers swung the weapons in their hands and slashed at their bodies.

For a moment, the defenseless prisoners were quickly dispatched.

After throwing their bodies into the mass grave.

The soldiers of Qin State began to bury it, and when it was done properly.

All the soldiers walked to the well dug in the distance.

Then, as soon as possible, use the cool well water that was just dug out and continuously pressed out through the horsepower water press to wash your body.

In the area of ​​the Western Regions, there is an abnormal drought everywhere, and the water is extremely scarce.

However, this problem is no longer a problem after arriving in Dawan.

Because Dawan is a serious agricultural country.

Here, there are a lot of oases. Under the oasis, a lot of groundwater can be dug out without digging too deep.

Therefore, after defeating these Dawan troops, the soldiers of the Qin Army quickly displayed their excellent skills, and successfully dug out wells one after another on the ground.

Immediately, open-air bathrooms were built near these wells, and all the soldiers began to exclude themselves from taking a bath.

In the Western Regions, they have been on a long-distance march for so long, and this is the first time they have had such a happy bath in the cool water.

This is for them.

It is quite a rare enjoyment.

When the soldiers of the Qin Army were taking a bath, having fun, and then eating the delicious boiled horse meat stewed from the corpses of Dawan horses.

Located in the city, King Yu Cheng, who witnessed the massacre of his soldiers, had a look of anger on his face. He wanted to lead his army out and fight to the death with those soldiers from Qin.

However, reason told him that he could not do this.

Because, once he did this, the last army of Dawan Kingdom, the more than [-] soldiers who had withdrawn into the city, would all die under the sword of the Qin army.

After all, he has seen the strength of Qin's army before.

So many troops are no match for the Qin army. Now that the city has just experienced a disastrous defeat, how can the thousands of soldiers under the soldiers defeat the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Great Qin Empire outside the city?
Taking the initiative is probably not much different from risking death!
