Chapter 19 Kill them all, leaving no one alive



Ziwu Pass.

This mop-up battle lasted for a long time.

The main reason was that Dafeng had too many soldiers and horses, and the special terrain of Ziwu Pass also restricted the Qin army. It took a lot of effort for the Qin warriors to pursue them.

Ying Xuan had an indifferent expression on his face. He had been watching from the Ziwu platform.

Corpses were everywhere, and the number of deaths in Dafeng was in the tens of thousands. The roads along the way were stained red with blood, and the mountains and rivers turned red.

The people of Daqin have been feeling aggrieved for too long over the past year and have suppressed too much anger.

They are angry and unwilling.

Now that the Dafeng army has been defeated, they are also venting their inner emotions through this killing.

A more eye-catching battle group, the 200,000 Red Flame Army was surrounded.

They were wearing heavy armor, but their slow speed became their death warrant. They were beaten to death one by one by the Qin guards like a turtle.

There is no other possibility, the only outcome is annihilation of the entire army.

After the battle, Xu Dajun hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, the Dafeng army has been defeated. Our troops, led by General Zhao Xin, are still pursuing the defeated army. Preliminary statistics show that the 200,000-strong Chiyan Legion has been completely annihilated. The casualties from other Dafeng legions are estimated to be between 500,000 and 600,000. As we continue to pursue, our victory continues to expand."

In this battle, Dafeng was destined to suffer the loss of millions of soldiers and horses.

Another Hedao and the 200,000-strong Red Flame Legion are their eternal pain.

Moreover, their confidence in destroying Qin was also shattered.

"How much damage have been done to our Great Qin soldiers?"

Ying Xuan cares about the soldiers of his Great Qin.

"Our army suffered few casualties, perhaps around 40,000 to 50,000, mainly due to many being wounded during the pursuit."

Xu Dajun said.

This is a complete victory.

The main reason was that Dafeng had no commander in chief, and all they wanted to do was escape. Millions of troops were in chaos and fled in a swarm.

But war is war, and unless one person has the power to kill a million, casualties are inevitable.

"Collect the corpse and transport it back to Qinshan in Qin territory. Bury it there. It is the pride of the Qin people."

Ying Xuan said.

These are all good men of his Great Qin, and they are worthy of being buried in Qinshan and Qinling, the burial place of the Qin people.

"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of the soldiers who died in battle!"

Xu Dajun was shocked.

Being buried in the Qin Mausoleum at Qinshan is the highest honor, and future generations will enjoy the blessing from it.

You know, this is not just a simple burial. Their names will be engraved and the empire will hold sacrifices for them.

Their descendants can also use this honor to receive resources from the empire.

"They deserve it."

Ying Xuan said.

As an emperor, you can be cruel and ruthless, but you must never treat those who have made contributions unfairly, otherwise it will discourage people's hearts.

"Your Majesty, none of the soldiers in this battle are willing to exchange the heads of the Dafeng soldiers for a reward."

Xu Dajun said another thing: "They said that using the heads of this battle to exchange for their own merits would be an insult to the lives of their comrades and the deaths of the Qin people. They can't do it."

These are the sharp warriors of the Qin Dynasty!

"They can refuse it, but I cannot refuse it."

Ying Xuan said, "Tell all the soldiers to prepare their weapons. The war has just begun. They must follow me to the capital of Dafeng, behead the emperor of Dafeng, and start the Qin Dynasty's hegemony!"

"I understand!"

Xu Dajun's voice was excited.

The Qin Emperor will complete the hegemony that the previous emperor failed to accomplish.

"I have another matter to report. We captured at least 300,000 Dafeng prisoners in this battle. What should we do with them?"

Xu Dajun said again.

"Do I need to teach you these things? Kill them all, leaving no one alive. I will count your military merits as atonement for the Qin soldiers who died in several border counties. Blood debt paid with blood!"

Ying Xuan had no intention of keeping these captives.

Any hegemony is built with countless corpses.

Xu Dajun was also trembling. Hundreds of thousands of prisoners, hundreds of thousands of lives, all had to be killed.

This is different from fighting on the battlefield.

Once these hundreds of thousands of Dafeng soldiers are killed, I wonder how much Dafeng will hate Your Majesty. If the news gets out, I'm afraid the entire Dafeng will curse the Qin Emperor as a tyrant and inhumane.

But the enemy's tyrant is their holy king.

He firmly believed that under the leadership of Emperor Qin, the Qin Dynasty would reach a height that he could not even imagine.

"I see."

Xu Dajun took a breath.

"Also, after the pursuit is over, rebuild the Ziwu Pass. I have the next plan."

"Come here, tell Cao Yun to come see me." Ying Xuan gave the order.

Soon, Cao Yun arrived. Wearing armor, he could only kneel on one knee to salute.

"Cao Yun, the guards did a great job this time. I saw it all on the Ziwu Terrace."

Ying Xuan praised.

"Your Majesty, this is all I should do. I dare not take credit for it."

Cao Yun is not arrogant. Without Your Majesty, he is nothing.

"Meritage is merit, just accept it."

Ying Xuan didn't like this kind of excuse and said, "I have a mission for you. Although Dafeng has been defeated, they still hold several counties. You will lead the imperial guards to recapture the lost territory, and I will send people to maintain order in the counties."

"And I will let Black Hawk follow you."

Those black hawks have been trained by Ying Xuan.

Under his overbearing majesty, like that of a god or demon, how could one not submit and be afraid?

His mission was that although Dafeng had been defeated at Ziwu Pass, there were still several counties and prefectures in Younan that had not been conquered.

That's not done.

"Cao Yun obeys the order!"

Cao Yun was excited. His Majesty gave him the task, which meant he trusted him.

The news of the Dafeng army's defeat quickly spread.

Cao Yun led his army and marched at the fastest speed.
