I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 135 Begging for mercy
"The brave Governor Su"

"You are an invincible warrior and the God of War blessed by heaven."

"I, the fourth prince of Xianbei, Qianman, lost with all my heart!"

"Please accept my surrender!"

"I would like to offer you my loyalty and everything I have."

"Just asking."

puff--

Blood splattered everywhere.

Su Yao flew over and smashed his head with a hammer.

"You want to surrender just because you are armed with a sword?
--late! "

Even those who escaped quickly were unable to catch up and were driven away in the direction from which the reinforcements came.

So under the leadership of Su Yao, the Han and Hu knights pursued them all the way and killed them on horseback.

The next day, the statistics will be compiled after the battle.

"Thief, please leave!"

"Kill, leave no trace behind!"

The defeated soldiers on horseback were frightened and fled in all directions like headless flies.

The soldiers who witnessed the death of the prince were so frightened that they wailed and fled.

This pursuit led them to the north, killing hundreds of people and leaving a mess of casualties.

They arrived one day early, and the horses had been fully rested to recharge their batteries.

"Our army is defeated, our army is defeated!"

In fact, there is no need to shout. As the attacker, they have already pressed forward with their entire army.

And these Xianbei people have come all the way, and their horsepower is even more exhausted after the war. Now, it is the time to expand the results!

This sentence announced the fate of these people.

Su Yao called to his subordinates who were remounting their horses behind him, and sent dozens of people to collect the loot in the distance. The rest of them all joined the pursuit.

The collapse at this moment is the collapse of the entire army.

"Ahhhh-"

"Run, run!"

It wasn't until sunset that everyone returned to the city.

They left behind their captives, their wives and children, and fled for their lives. No matter what, they just wanted to escape from here and escape from the red devil.

"Qianman is dead!"

They killed more than 2,000 people near the city fortress alone, and countless more were pursued from afar.

Among them, Su Yao single-handedly beheaded more than 400 people under the city. The hill that sealed the gap in the city wall has not been cleared yet.

However, the price they paid was not small.

Nearly 800 people participated in the battle, and nearly half were killed or injured.

Most of these were caused by the breakthrough of the Shanyu guards at the entrance.

It can be said that this was the first time Su Yao suffered such a proportion of casualties. It is no wonder that he was so angry that he issued a killing order without leaving a single prisoner of war.

However, compared to the losses, the gains from this battle are also the largest so far.

As expected of the team of the Prince of Xianbei, although they failed in the battle for grassland hegemony, they still had countless gold, silver, soft and other items. Of course, the most valuable ones were the dozens of battle armors!

This suddenly almost doubled the number of armors he had!

This is not to say that Su Yao's Han army was unarmored, but most of the Han soldiers he led were full-body leather armor and iron breastplates and vests. This was the basic configuration of the Han frontier army.

These captured battle armors were the same as Su Yao's. They were full-body armor on the upper body and a knee-length skirt on the lower body. Only elite troops could not carry this kind of equipment. This time, more than fifty complete sets of full-body armor were seized, which can be said to be a reflection of the past of the Xianbei people.

If it weren't for such equipment, Su Yao would not have suffered such heavy losses.

In addition to war armor and treasures, there were countless cattle, sheep, and horses, as well as a large number of women and children.

These Xianbei people plundered more than 6,000 Han and Hu women and children alone. In addition to their own wealth of more than 5,000, they all were packed up and given to Su Yao.

"What is the governor going to do with these people?"

On the way back to Wuyuan, Su Yao met up with Wang Ling, Zhang Liao and others who had arrived.

Wang Ling had this question when Su Yao asked Wang Ling to handle the seizure.

"You arrange for people from the Huyan tribe and the Han people who have homes to return to to be sent back. In addition, each person will be given some cattle and sheep as compensation and resettlement.

The people from the Qiulin tribe of Zuoguli Wang first brought them back to Wuyuan and notified them that all the family members who had fled would come to report, and they would be reorganized and redistributed.

As for the other Hu and Han people who have no place to return, as well as the Xianbei women and children, except for those sent to the prisoner ceremony, they should all be taken back to promote national integration. "

"People, national integration?"

"Intermarriage"

Su Yao nodded
"The soldiers accompanying me on this expedition will each have a wife, and the rewards and pensions must be paid in full.

They are all people with great achievements, and they happened to have seized enough cattle and sheep, so they can distribute them at a discount of three times, ensuring that every family can receive it! "

"Here!"

Post-war rewards and pensions have a crucial impact on morale.

This time, almost half of the casualties were suffered. If normal procedures had been followed, morale would have collapsed long ago. Su Yao was surprised by the bravery of his subordinates.

However, a moment of bravery cannot last forever. After the battle, touching the wounds on the body and looking at the fallen brother, it is human nature to feel lingering fear.

It is necessary to stabilize their emotions through petting as soon as possible.

Su Yao, who is always concerned about morale values, will certainly not miss this key link.

The most critical reason why he ordered his wife to be released so quickly was that after the war, there were emergencies in the army where soldiers intended to humiliate captured women.

This is both the need of these young guys to vent and the revenge mentality of heavy casualties.

But the main reason is that prisoners of war are not treated as human beings at this time, let alone those female prisoners.

Those who are lucky, have good looks, or have some status will be taken in and protected by military officers, or contributed to the superiors, or taken as forbidden wives.

And more people have directly become props for these soldiers to vent their sexual desires. If they are unlucky, they will not be able to hold on for a few days.

In the past, they captured not many female prisoners, and they were quickly put under unified management with the cooperation of the local government, rescue, or rewards and sales, etc., so Su Yao had never seen such an incident happen.

At present, a large number of female prisoners are stationed in the camp.

These nearly ten thousand shabby and pitiful women were thrown into the midst of more than four hundred strong-blooded and arrogant soldiers. It would be a damned thing if something didn't happen.

So, after the celebration banquet, these restless men didn't even wait for Su Yao, who had an alarm to go to rest, and took advantage of the wine to directly find the target and start the attack.

Faced with such an incident, Su Yao naturally stopped it in time, but at the same time, it also reminded him that the improvement of military discipline must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

"Obey military orders and follow command in all actions. Have you forgotten my words?!"

"No, dare not!"

"Captain, spare your life!"

That night, the torches were brightly lit outside the big tent.

Countless soldiers and prisoners of war were watching.

One Han soldier and three Hu soldiers, the four perpetrators knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness.

Failure to obey military orders is a serious crime punishable by execution!
Although the governor had said that he could not kill prisoners without permission, they never expected that they just wanted to play with women, how could they be promoted to such a level.

But who is Governor Su?
Since Governor Su said this, they did not dare to talk back and could only plead for mercy:
"I drank too much, was angry for a while, and became confused. Please forgive me, Governor!"
