Looking at Ge Dan's corpse, Xu Hui burst into laughter.
It turns out these Xiongnu people weren't so great after all!
Killing them seems no different from killing sheep!
After catching his breath, Xu Hui immediately stepped forward and used the curved knife that Ge Dan had dropped on the ground to cut off his head!
Then he grabbed Ge Dan's head and shouted at the surroundings.
"Ge Dan is dead! Ge Dan is dead!"
Xu Hui's voice resounded throughout the entire tribe.
With the death of their leader, the tribe was utterly powerless to resist.
"Kneel down and surrender! Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Kneel down and surrender! Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Kneel down and surrender! Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
........
With a series of angry roars, the battle ended completely in just half an hour!
All the people of the Gedan tribe were driven together and placed under guard.
Anyone who resisted was killed without any mercy.
Mu Zian, who had arrived on horseback, remained calm as he looked at the terrified Xiongnu tribesmen before him.
There was no sense of guilt, and even less pity.
Mu Zian asked Jia Xu beside him.
"What should be done with these people?"
After several days of travel, Jia Xu was somewhat disheveled.
However, this did not affect his ability to offer advice and strategies.
Without any attempt to conceal his true intentions, Jia Xu spoke directly to the prisoners of the Xiongnu tribes.
"Slaughter all the horses and sheep, and bring enough grain. Leave no adult men alive except for women, children, and the elderly."
At this moment, it wasn't that Jia Xu was being overly compassionate and wanted to spare these Xiongnu elders and children; this was precisely the most insidious aspect of Jia Xu's ruthless nature as a strategist.
Because compared to killing these women, children, and the elderly, only by keeping them alive could they add a heavier burden to the Xiongnu.
Even if the other tribes do not choose to provide relief, Mu Zian will not need to intervene in the end. Without food and provisions, the wind and snow on the grassland will eventually take their lives.
Among the captured people were Xiongnu people who could understand Chinese. When he heard Jia Xu's words, he turned pale and immediately roared in anger.
"You're trying to kill us!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Zian looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was a young woman who had spoken.
It is obvious that this woman holds a high position in the tribe.
Mu Zian looked at the Xiongnu woman who was screaming herself hoarse, and said calmly.
"He who kills will be killed by others."
A cold, hard sentence sealed the fate of this tribe!
Mu Zian turned and left. He was not a bloodthirsty person, but some killings were unavoidable.
On the battlefield, there is no room for sentimentality or soft-heartedness.
