Two days later, by the Huai River.
More than 3,000 Beifu soldiers and tiger troops formed a phalanx, with large shields in front and trees as long as trees, followed by archers on foot, standing upright in this wilderness with an indomitable momentum.
More than two hundred steps in front of them, there were more than a thousand panicked Qin soldiers. Although they were wearing leather armor and holding weapons in their hands, they could no longer see from the panicked eyes of these soldiers. out of any fight.
Behind them, the surging Huai River rolled by, and on the rushing water, there were swollen corpses floating. As far as the sight could see nearby, the broken parts of the three pontoon bridges were rising. With the black smoke, anyone can see at a glance that the retreat for these Qin army's remnants no longer exists!
Liu Yu was heavily armored and stood in the first row behind the big shield. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said loudly: "Brothers, are you thirsty?"
Tan Pingzhi stood in front of the garrison beside Liu Yu. He laughed: "You just drank water, why are you thirsty?"
Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "We have just drank water, but it seems that the Qin soldiers on the opposite side are very thirsty after escaping so far. Look, their lips are dry and cracked. It’s not easy to come all the way, everyone, shouldn’t you treat these northern guests well?”
All the sergeants laughed loudly, and Liu Jingxuan said loudly: "Let them drink our Huai water, and they will not dare to attack my country again in the next life!"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice: "Brothers, form a formation and drive the enemy into the river!"
All the sergeants shouted loudly, and the military formation, which had been motionless just now, slowly moved forward and pressed against the Qin army on the opposite side from three directions.
These Qin troops seemed to be stragglers. They didn't even have any flags or drums, and no command could be seen. A man who looked like an officer shouted angrily: "Fire the arrows, fire the arrows!"
More than two hundred arrows were sparsely shot from the Qin army's array, weakly hitting the shields of the Beifu army's array. They could not even be inserted into the wooden shields, and they fell one after another. In response, Two waves of arrows rose up from the Beifu Army's array. They were densely packed and flew towards the dense crowd on the opposite side like dark clouds. Many soldiers of the Qin Army tried to resist with their shields, but it was difficult to hold up their shields due to the crowds around them. Raising his head, the arrows swept across, and a large number of soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. The injured were rolling in a pool of blood, and these screams made the living people lose their last courage to resist.
Dozens of people did not believe in evil, so they took off their armor, turned around and jumped into the rolling Huai River. A big wave came, and these people soon disappeared. The remaining people all threw away their weapons, took off their armor, knelt on the ground, prostrated themselves on the ground, and shouted: "I am willing to surrender!"
Liu Yu's brows relaxed, he smiled slightly, took off his face mask, and was waiting to speak when Liu Laozhi's cold voice came from behind him: "Jingxuan, you know what to do!"
Liu Jingxuan's lips curled up, and with a wave of his hand, the tiger soldiers from the two square formations behind him ran out from behind the shields and walked in front of the prisoners. Just like everyone else did this time, each of them took off their waists. A long piece of hemp was rained down, and the prisoners were tied up in groups of ten. Soon, the remaining nearly a thousand prisoners were tied into strings and sat by the river.
Liu Yu walked to Liu Laozhi's side with a smile on his face, and was about to salute and report, but he saw murderous intent appearing on Liu Laozhi's purple face. He waved his hand, and Liu Jingxuan in the distance raised his sword, and with just a wave With a wave, the heads and necks of the two prisoners in front of them were separated, and they fell into a pool of blood.
The hundreds of soldiers who followed him also did the same. Six or seven hundred of the prisoners sitting on the ground were cut down in an instant. The remaining people all jumped up and cried for mercy. A few tough guys tried their best to kill them. The ground wanted to resist, but with his hands tied, he could not use his strength. Soon, these people were killed by the tiger sergeants who looked like wolves and tigers, chopping melons and vegetables, and the blood flowed from the severed heads. The blood, like streams of blood, merged into the rushing Huaihe River. The roar of the water hitting the shore was just like the last roars of the dead. The battlefield fell into a deathlike silence.
Liu Yu gritted his teeth. The thing happened so suddenly, and Liu Laozhi personally ordered it, so he had no time to stop it. He said solemnly to Liu Laozhi: "General, our military discipline has clear regulations. Killing prisoners, why do you want to..."
Liu Laozhi said coldly: "Liu Yu, you are the first to join the Tiger Army. You should know that you can only execute the orders of your superiors and cannot violate them!"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, as a subordinate, you should obey the general's order, but this order itself is inconsistent with military law, so I dare to ask, why did the general give such an order?"
Liu Laozhi pointed to the corpses floating in the river and said calmly: "You, where did these corpses come from? Are they Qin soldiers who drowned to death?"
Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Those who can't throw themselves into the river without their heads should be the corpses of enemy soldiers who died in the battle and fell into the river." When he got here, he suddenly found that many corpses were the same as before. Like the other prisoners, they were tied together with ropes, and many of them had their hands tied. He immediately realized that these people, like the prisoners just now, were captured and then slaughtered.
Liu Laozhi sneered and said, "Have you seen this? This is how other troops deal with prisoners. This time we fought too fast and smoothly. The enemy generals Peng Chao and Ju Nan almost fled on horseback, abandoning their troops. After the 60,000 Qin army lost its command, it collapsed overnight. We had no time to capture them. They rushed to the river and took only a few thousand prisoners. It was useless to take them back. They were killed on the spot and their heads could be used as reports. Gong, as a general, if you don't seek to behead your subordinates, how can you be worthy of your own soldiers?"
At this point, Liu Laozhi said in a deep voice: "Disband the entire army, go up and lead the leader, first come, first served!"
His order was conveyed quickly, and the various formations that had been motionless just now dispersed. Thousands of soldiers rushed to the riverside to pick up the heads on the ground, for fear of being late. It's not his own fault, and his enthusiasm and enthusiasm can't be matched even when he eats.
Liu Yu watched silently as the sergeants rushed over at a sprint speed of 100 meters, and shook his head: "Since ancient times, it has been ominous to kill and surrender. Wouldn't it be possible for the soldiers to benefit if we don't do this?"
