After cleaning up the battlefield and gathering all the prisoners, a group of generals quickly came to Xiao Chuyun.
The armor of each of these generals was stained with blood, and in the cold night wind, it emitted a strong fishy smell.
"General, we have captured about 20,000 prisoners of war on both sides. There will be more battles to come. What should we do with these prisoners of war?"
"Please give me your instructions, General!"
Xiao Chuyun's eyes moved, and he asked back: "According to your opinion?"
It was unexpected that so many Yue soldiers could be captured.
Therefore, before the war broke out, no one had thought of any countermeasures in this regard.
Upon hearing his question, one of the officers with scars on his face said in a cold voice: "General, if we take these prisoners with us, it will be disadvantageous to our army's subsequent operations!"
"Why not..."
Although he didn't say it out loud, the meaning of his words was already quite clear.
Kill the surrendered!
You know, this is 40,000 people!
There will be even more brutal wars to come.
If these prisoners of war are not properly guarded, they will immediately suffer backlash.
Moreover, according to the battle plan they had previously formulated.
They will not stay in the base from now on.
We must fight and retreat at the same time.
During the retreat, they dealt a fatal blow to the Yue army and the barbarian army.
Since we have to retreat, there will be no way to take care of these prisoners of war.
Xiao Chuyun did not express his opinion, and he looked at other people again.
"What about you?"
"Is that what you mean?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you.
No one spoke.
After a long while, a short general at the back said, "General, although this may be against the harmony of nature, it also has its benefits."
"First of all, there is no need to worry about these prisoners of war rebelling."
"Secondly, this move can greatly deter the Kingdom of Yue, making it lose its courage when facing my big move."
"Besides, it also saves us from all worries!"
Hearing his words, everyone nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Xiao Chuyun couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
This decision is not so easy to make.
From the perspective of revenge, killing these prisoners of war is completely acceptable.
However, the carnage caused by this would be too great.
Throughout history, anyone who has done this has never had a good ending.
Therefore, after pondering for a long time, he still felt that he could not convince himself.
He suddenly missed Zhao Hao.
Because if Zhao Hao were here, he would definitely be able to think of a way to have the best of both worlds.
It will neither cause more killings nor affect the subsequent war.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, the generals couldn't help but urge him.
Finally, Xiao Chuyun took a deep breath and said quietly, "I have made up my mind. I will collect all the weapons."
"Prisoners of war..."
"Let it go!"
Hearing him say this, everyone was shocked.
"General, are you going to let him go just like that?"
"In this way, they will eventually become our biggest enemy!"
"We don't know how many more of our brothers will die at the hands of these people."
Xiao Chuyun said in a deep voice: "Don't say anything more, this general has already made the decision!"
"You should go and tell these prisoners of war now, and appeal to their reason and emotion."
"Just say that you don't want to see them on the battlefield in the future. It's right for them to go back to their homes and live a good life."
"I, Dagan, originally shared weal and woe with the Kingdom of Yue. Even though we have become enemies now, this general cannot bear to kill them!"
"Go ahead!"
When the generals heard this, although they couldn't understand it, they still obeyed the order.
Xiao Chuyun called over a few of his personal soldiers and asked, "Have you figured out the statistics? What are our casualties?"
A personal soldier hurriedly said: "General, our army's casualties are less than 1,500, and the wounded are about 3,000."
"Among them, more than 1,000 were seriously injured, and around 2,000 were slightly injured."
"General, we have won a great victory in this battle!"
“It’s such a joy!”
As the personal soldiers spoke, their eyes gleamed with brilliance.
Indeed, in this battle, the number of enemy troops was beyond expectations.
However, with the support of new-style sky-bombs and new-style swords, their army was like a tiger among a flock of sheep.
The entire battle process is just like chopping melons and vegetables.
In less than two hours, more than 10,000 Vietnamese soldiers were beheaded, completely frightening the enemy.
Xiao Chuyun nodded. The casualties here should not be much different from those at the fifth outpost.
This can be said to be a complete victory.
A real victory.
but.
This is just the first stage.
Next.
There is also a second stage
That is more important.
He randomly found a relatively large tent that was not damaged.
He walked in with a few personal soldiers.
Then, he took out the map.
"These two garrisons, combined, have 60,000 troops."
"Then, the army that will come again will probably be 60,000 to 80,000."
"And in my hands, not counting the dead and seriously injured, there are probably more than 17,000 people."
"Seventeen thousand versus sixty to eighty thousand..."
Xiao Chuyun took a deep breath and still felt a huge pressure.
This gap is still quite large.
Moreover, it is very likely that there are barbaric troops among them.
The combat effectiveness of the barbaric army is similar to that of Dagan.
