Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 667 Treating prisoners preferentially
Thousands of Nanchuan elite soldiers were divided into several groups and rushed towards the strategic points of Qinghe City under the leadership of their respective officers. Each officer who led the team had a detailed map provided by the intelligence department, detailing how many streets there were in each street. Each house is clearly marked.

The Nanchuan soldiers were not worried about getting lost in the huge Qinghe City at all, they quickly seized the key points, facing the red scarf soldiers guarding everywhere, they rushed over with swords in their hands and shouted: "Surrender without killing!"

Seeing the black Nanchuan soldiers rushing over, many guards were disarmed before they had time to react, and some people even had weak legs and feet. The metal reflection of the black armor was very shocking, and many people saw Nanchuan from a distance. The soldier dropped the weapon in his hand with a bang, and squatted on the ground with his head in his arms.

In many streets, the patrols of the Red Scarf Soldiers encountered the Nanchuan soldiers who were raiding. These patrols were all subordinate to Liu Bin's city defense army. Their first reaction was to resist. Now the Nanchuan soldiers have no time to ink. A burst of crossbow arrows passed, and they were shot to death in a pool of blood.

The shrill shouts suddenly sounded in the cold street, and then there was the sound of violent weapons colliding. After returning to his mansion, the garrison general Liu Bin, who was drinking porridge, changed his expression, grabbed the epee on the table and rushed out. , but as soon as he rushed to the door, there were black Nanchuan soldiers rushing towards his mansion at both ends of the street.

He retreated hastily, and slammed the gate shut with the guards who heard the movement, but his mansion had long been targeted by the Nanchuan Assault Troops. In addition to the troops at the front gate, there was also a team of sturdy men rushing in from the back gate. soldiers.

The Nanchuan soldiers entered through the back door of Liu Bin's mansion, and the guards put up a fierce resistance. However, the Nanchuan soldiers were all brave and good at fighting.

Liu Bin and more than a dozen guards were surrounded by the intruding Nanchuan Corps in the courtyard. Facing the Nanchuan Centurion yelling to surrender, Liu Bin saw the corpses all over the ground, with a gloomy expression, and threw the epee in his hand on the ground. He was tied up by the Nanchuan soldiers who rushed forward.

At this moment, Qinghe City is full of shouts and fighting sounds. The Nanchuan soldiers are making rapid progress. The more than 1 red scarf soldiers under the governor's command were made dumplings by more than 2000 Nanchuan soldiers while they were still in the camp. With fierce resistance, the Nanchuan soldiers suffered setbacks in several attacks.

As the governor appointed by the Red Turban Army was beheaded and their heads were thrown into the Red Turban Army camp, their resistance fell apart not long after, and more than 1 Red Turban Army soldiers all became prisoners of the Nanchuan Army.

When the sun rose, the entire Qinghe City had already fallen into the hands of the Nanchuan Army. They raided Qinghe City with only 6000 troops from two banner battalions, and took down the heavily fortified Qinghe City without any effort.

"Report victory to the Corps. Our vanguard troops have successfully captured Qinghe City." Sergeant Li Qing, who led the raid this time, strode into the Governor's Mansion in Qinghe City and gave orders to the messengers.

Li Qing then added: "Post up the Announcement for the People, and the Gendarmerie immediately took to the streets to reaffirm military discipline. No one is allowed to disturb the people. If there is any disobedience, the Gendarmerie can beheaded first and then acted upon."

Being able to take Qinghe City with the least casualties, both for the Nanchuan Army and the people of Qinghe City, has avoided greater casualties and minimized losses.

"Seize the treasury and keep it under strict supervision."

"The First Banner Battalion will immediately take over the city defense."

Li Qing was the Sergeant Major of the Corps. Although he was good at charging into battle, as a qualified Nanchuan Army commander, he was not weak in other aspects. A series of orders immediately stabilized the situation in Qinghe City.

Just when Li Qing reported victory to the rear and stabilized the situation in Qinghe City, a sturdy war cavalry appeared on the road in the western suburbs of Qinghe City, galloping towards Qinghe City at this moment.

There are tens of thousands of warriors, all of them are tall and sturdy, the scimitars on their waists are shining faintly, and they are dressed in robes made of animal fur, which makes them exude the violent breath of wild beasts. The bloodthirsty eyes exuded a palpitating light.

"How far is it from Qinghe City?!" A strong man in a wolf's fur asked behind him, his voice was like a bell, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

"Respected Master Wan Qichang, we will arrive at Qinghe City at noon. I heard that the women there are very lively." A burly man rode out with a smile, his eyes full of excitement.

The burly man in wolf fur showed his big yellow teeth and smiled and said, "Tell the warriors below to speed up the march, I can't wait to enjoy the beauties there."

"Of order, Lord Wanqichang." Another strong man smiled and ran towards the team, "Warriors of the Rong tribe, speed up the delivery!"

The cavalry team moved faster, the golden wolf flag that was held high was blown up by the wind, and the horses galloped and trampled countless smoke and dust, sweeping towards Qinghe City, they were the iron cavalry troops belonging to the Rong tribe.

At this moment, the Nanchuan vanguard troops who captured Qinghe City did not know that the danger was approaching rapidly. A vicious prairie cavalry was heading towards Qinghe City, and their goal was also Qinghe City.

In the red scarf camp in Qinghe City, all the captured red scarf soldiers had been disarmed. They were sitting in the open space of the camp, surrounded by heavily guarded Nanchuan soldiers.

Facing the murderous Nanchuan soldiers covered in black armor, the unarmed red scarf soldiers were full of apprehension at the moment. Although they surrendered, they didn't know what their future fate would be.

Since ancient times, people who surrendered have not ended well, but with the exception of very few, in previous wars, the red scarf soldiers often engulfed the opponents who surrendered or killed them directly. The Nanchuan army, which wiped out 35 red scarf soldiers in the First Battle of the River, was still full of fear in their hearts.

Although more than 1 captive red scarf soldiers were disarmed, if they were not handled properly, they would be a ticking time bomb. Now Li Qing had only two banner battalions under his command. Immediately after the incident, he rushed to the prisoner camp and began to deal with the prisoners.

Seeing the arrival of the chief of the Nanchuan Army, there was a small commotion among the captives. They knew that the moment to decide their life and death had come, and some red scarf soldiers were even more depressed and full of despair.

"Follow the old method." Li Qing looked at the more than 1 disarmed red scarf soldiers, and ordered to the duty officer.

Lin Chuan fully borrowed from the model of the complaining conference of later generations, and firstly distinguished these captives, which heinous ones could not escape death, but the rest were given their free choice, and they were willing to stay to supplement the compensation weapons issued by the Nanchuan Army , in-place reorganization.

If those who do not want to join the Nanchuan Army, send them money to go home. This will not only spread the benevolence of the Nanchuan Army, but also disintegrate the fighting spirit of the enemy. They will resist so desperately, because the Nanchuan Army's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners will give them a way to survive, and they will not be worried about the safety of surrender.

Although the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners will consume some money and food of the Nanchuan Army in the short term, it will be beneficial and harmless in the long run.
