Chapter 455: The Decisive Battle (2)

Liu Ping stared at the closed gate and said to Chen Yuan: "Mr. Prince Consort, the enemy's gate is not solid, and can be broken with just one attack. The place set up by Jingsai Military Office is almost in danger. It may take some effort to attack, but it is also destined that the enemy has no way to escape. If they want to live now, they can only surrender. Prince Consort, if the enemy surrenders, what should we do?"

Chen Yuan didn't go to see it at all, sat on the chair and said, "Of course I accepted that they surrendered and gave them enough food. Didn't they want to eat rice just now? Just prepare it for them. If we don't give the enemy a way out, the battle will be difficult to fight in the future."

Liu Ping clasped his fists: "Yes, I know."

Chen Yuan thought about it again: "By the way, you have to prevent them from rushing out."

Liu Ping said confidently: "Don't worry, my son-in-law, I think they don't have the courage now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the village gate was opened! Liu Ping looked at it carefully and was immediately angry!

Jingsai Army is very close to the border of the Song Dynasty, and it is also the last barrier for the Dangxiang army to guard the refugees who wanted to escape from the Song Dynasty! Over the past few days, the army here has intercepted many refugees, including men and women, old and young.

These people were all Dangxiang people, but they were driven by Dangxiang soldiers and rushed towards the positions that the Song army had already arranged!

One thousand soldiers were mixed in!

Liu Ping looked at it and cursed: "Grandma!"

Chen Yuan could no longer be leisurely, so he stood up from the chair and looked at the men, women, young and old who were rushing towards him. He was stunned at first, and then suddenly shouted: "Put the crossbow! Put the crossbow!"

Liu Ping grabbed Chen Yuan's hand: "Mr. Prince Concubine! Think twice!"

Chen Yuan roared and said, "I'll let you put on a crossbow! Let them rush over and we'll be done! Tell the soldiers that everyone is close to them is the enemy! Kill without mercy!"

Liu Ping smiled bitterly: "It seems that you must be scolded by the censors once."

Then wave the order flag: "Put the crossbow! Prepare the crossbow! Prepare the catapult! Prepare the enemy! The ones close to them are all enemies! Kill without mercy!"

A strong man hugged his child and dragged his woman, and quickly ran towards the Song army position under the drive of Dangxiang soldiers.

The child lay in his arms, hugging his neck tightly with his hands: "Dad, I'm afraid."

The man patted his child's butt: "Don't be afraid, Dad is here, Dad is holding you."

The woman's face was pale: "His father, will Song Jun shoot arrows?"

The strong man said in a very unconfident voice: "No, the Song army has always been kind and righteous, and will not shoot and kill the common people."

As he was talking, he suddenly felt a heavy hand on his hand. He immediately looked back and saw his woman lying on the ground, and a crossbow arrow penetrated the woman's chest!

The strong man was stunned and looked at the woman in horror with his big eyes, and his steps also stopped.

Around me, screams burst into tears!

The strong man seemed to have heard nothing. He raised his head and looked up at the sky, and let out a sad roar: "Ah!"

The child in his arms cried out loudly!

At this moment, another crossbow arrow shot and was inserted into the back of the strong man. Blood flowed out of the strong man's mouth. The child looked at him with horror. While crying, he tried to wipe the blood from the strong man's mouth with his sleeves.

The strong man looked at the child's fearful look and suddenly laughed. He slowly put it on the ground and patted the child's back: "Be good, don't be afraid, dad is here. Listen to dad, don't cry, okay?"

The child nodded, and tears could not stop falling, but the sound stopped.

Another mouthful of blood was sprayed out of the strong man's mouth, and the child wanted to cry again, but the strong man squeezed out a smile: "Come on, Dad, take you to bed, remember, don't talk when you sleep, do you know?"

He lay on the ground with the child in his arms, hugged him tightly, and then dragged the woman's body to the child's back. When he did all this, his eyes were dim and he finally said, "Don't talk, sleep."

The child covered his eyes with two small hands, and his small body was buried between the corpses of the two adults, constantly shaking, but he really never made any sound again.

After most of the people who rushed out were shot and killed, Song Jun shouted loudly: "If you want to survive, kneel down! Don't rush over! Kneel down!"

The Dangxiang soldiers hiding in the crowd finally showed their traces. The Song army's crossbows began to shoot with targets, mainly aiming at the Dangxiang soldiers. As long as the people remained unmoved, if they had not happened to become the shields of Dangxiang soldiers, their lives would have been guaranteed.

General Dangxiang really didn't expect that the Song army would be so decisive this time. The Song Dynasty's military system was mostly civil servants. Even if the general led the army to fight, there would be a civil servant as the military supervisor.

These military supervisors do not massacre civilians because they are afraid of being criticized. Liu Ping's previous hesitation was also due to this reason, but since Chen Yuan didn't care, he also knew that it was a fatal matter for the Song army at this time.

The bloody means made the Dangxiang soldiers dare not drive away the crowd. As long as someone waved his sword and gun, the Song army's crossbow would immediately come in this direction! Without their drive, the Dangxiang people who survived by chance knelt on the ground one by one, hugged their heads with both hands, and never dared to take a step forward again!

When he found that no one moved again, Liu Ping waved his order flag a few times, and thousands of Song Jun swords and shields slowly leaned towards the crowd.

At this time, the soldiers of Dangxiang hid in the crowd and did not dare to speak. They had already taken off their clothes with some cleverness and pulled off their coats from the dead body next to them, regardless of whether they fit or not.

This time when he stepped on the corpse, Li Wei felt much better. Although he was still a little afraid to look at the eyes of the dead, he had acted normally on the surface. According to Shangguan's order, he and his comrades walked to the Dangxiang people and pulled them one by one.

If you feel that there is danger, you are on the left. As for those old and weak women who do not have any ability to resist, you are on the right.

"Du Too! This is a child!"

A soldier kicked away the strong man's body, but the strong man's hands still hugged his child tightly. The child lay in the strong man's arms, his body trembling constantly, but closed his eyes tightly and did not dare to open it.

Li Wei came over and was stunned for a moment: "Pull it up."

The soldier moved the strong man's hands away and picked up the child: "Kid, get up!"

The child's eyes opened, and the soldier wanted to push him to stand on the right, but the child suddenly cried. His eyes stared at the Song army soldier in front of him in horror, but his hands tightly pulled the sleeves of his dead father, and exerted force again and again, as if he wanted to pull his father up.

Li Wei suddenly felt something hurt when his heart was so stinged. He turned to look at the other Song Jun, and his face was filled with sadness.

Li Wei walked up slowly, forcibly picked up the child, put it in the crowd on the right, and took out the half steamed bun that he hadn't finished just now and stuffed it into the child's hand: "Eat it."

The child was at a loss and did not dare to send it to his mouth, but just cried. Li Wei glanced at a woman in her forties and pointed to the child: "Call this child for me!"

The woman Nono said, "Yes, yes."

There were more than 300 Dangxiang soldiers left in Jingsai Military Division, and these more than 300 people were basically pulled out. The most unlucky one was the officer, who wanted to change his clothes and put them on. Unfortunately, what he pulled off was a woman's clothes.

Their eyes were so frightened.

Chen Yuan looked at the three hundred people in front of him and smiled: "The war is over. If you want to go home, you can leave now."

After hearing this, the soldiers couldn't believe their ears.

The decisiveness of the Song army when they shot and killed those refugees just now made them intuitively think that this was a brutal army, but now, the general actually let himself go like this?

Is it a dream? Or is the other party having any conspiracy? They looked at each other, and they didn't dare to say anything, did nothing, and they didn't dare to leave.

Chen Yuan said, "I'm serious, the battle has been completed, and the outcome of the war between you and me has been decided. We are not a revenge to kill our father, we are just serving as soldiers and eating food. I don't have to kill you, right? The officers above the commander stayed, and the remaining soldiers can leave."

He said this and smiled again: "Of course, I don't know who your officer is. If you want to make a fortune, as long as you have good popularity on weekdays, it's okay without soldiers' identification."

After a moment of silence, the Dangxiang officer took a step forward: "I am their general, Shanhui Fuguang. If this general of the Song Dynasty wants to know something, just leave me behind. I hope you can let go of these people under my command."

A few people immediately stood up: "General!"

Shanyu Fuguang waved his hand: "No need to say more."

Chen Yuan glanced at him and smiled and said, "It's very good. I'm very happy that you can stand up by yourself. Organize your soldiers and let them take off their military uniforms by themselves. If there are any hidden weapons, they will hand them over immediately. Then, each of them will get a bag of rations and go home."

When Shan met Fu Guang, he was stunned when he heard that Song Jun was still giving food. He knew that Chen Yuan had no need to deceive him now. He began to organize his soldiers to line up and put their military uniforms and weapons one by one.

Song Jun was also very quick. He took a man's clothes and handed them to a pocket, which contained four steamed buns and a bag of water. After Dangxiang people got them, they basically ate a steamed bun without saying a word!

Chen Yuan looked at them like this and shouted loudly: "Go back to find your wife and children, don't come and work hard again. This time you are lucky, but the crossbow doesn't have eyes, so you may not have a chance next time."

He released the prisoners in this way, which was very different from the previous practices of the Song army.

There are two main reasons. First, Chen Yuan’s own food is also very tight, and now the entire Song Dynasty is tight. If these are taken back to the Song Dynasty, then there will be hundreds of more mouths to be taken care of.

Since you can't catch it, there are only two options: either kill it or release it.

Chen Yuan chose to let go. I hope that after these people returned, they could tell the Dangxiang soldiers that as long as they surrendered, they would have food to eat, so that their own battle would be much easier.

Seeing these Dangxiang people leaving one by one, Chen Yuan stretched his waist and said to Liu Ping: "I guess Li Yuanhao is coming. Are you going to wait for him here or meet him?"

Liu Ping said firmly: "Come on! Aren't Dangxiang people good at field battles? We defeat them in the way they are best at!"

Chen Yuan smiled: "It's very good, are you sure?"

Liu Ping nodded: "Don't worry, as long as you march, be careful not to be attacked by Li Yuanhao, they will have no chance."
