Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1426 Killing

Under the night, Xue Yantuo's royal city was a little lively.

After the soldiers left this official's mansion, they immediately went to another official's mansion.

Hou Junji was walking on the street with his attendants, seeing these situations, he didn't say much.

These are all brothers who followed him on the battlefield. Now that they have won the battle, naturally they cannot be treated badly.

Although this battle was relatively easy, they also kept their heads on their waistbands along the way.

Their hard work cannot be denied just because the battle was easy.

Of course, Hou Junji had ordered that everyone should not take too many things, otherwise he would not have many carts after returning to Chang'an City, so he would have to wait to be taught a lesson by Li Shimin.

Among those who join the army, there are civilian officials who specialize in recording the itinerary and wars. These civilian officials have a certain supervisory role.

However, the civil servants who followed this time had already been bought by Hou Junji, so even if such a thing happened, he was not worried that it would spread to the court.

Hou Junji was walking on the street, and the soldiers greeted him excitedly when they saw him.

Hou Junji was very satisfied with this.

While Hou Junji was walking like this, several Xue Yantuo's surrendered soldiers suddenly fled in a panic, chasing several Tang troops behind.

After seeing this scene, Hou Junji frowned: "What's going on?"

A soldier who knew the situation ran over and said: "General, there are a few surrendered soldiers who wanted to escape, but we discovered them, and now we are chasing them."

"Surrender and flee?" Hearing this, Hou Junji's face became a little ugly, and then he became a little angry: "These Xue Yantuo surrendered their troops, they are really brave, since they surrendered, they should be my prisoners of the Tang Dynasty That’s it, it’s unreasonable to want to escape.”

He felt that these surrendered soldiers were restless.

After scolding, he immediately ordered: "These escaped soldiers, catch them and kill them, don't let them know that I am ruthless, they will not be obedient."

"Here!"

The guards were ordered to retreat. At this moment, one of Hou Junji's lieutenants said, "General, we have recruited over ten thousand soldiers. This is not a small number."

Two groups of surrendered soldiers, [-] people, is already a lot.

"If these 1 surrendered troops suddenly turned against each other, it would not be easy for the more than [-] people in our Tang army to suppress them. In the end, there would definitely be a lot of casualties. We still have to kill those who escaped in Xue Yantuo territory. There will definitely not be many soldiers and horses left behind, these Xue Yantuo surrendered troops restlessly, after all, people are not at ease."

After the deputy general finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Hou Junji. Hou Junji twitched his eyebrows slightly, and said, "What do you mean?"

"Kill them."

"Killing surrender?" Hou Junji's eyes froze for a moment. Killing surrender is a serious crime in their Tang Dynasty. Even if he has the merits of destroying the country, he will not escape punishment.

The deputy general smiled and said: "General, now that Xue Yantuo has destroyed the country, if accidents happen because of these surrenders, it will be bad. We don't count them as killing surrenders, just say that these surrenders are restless." .”

If the soldiers surrendered restlessly, for the sake of the overall situation, they could be killed. Hou Junji hesitated for a moment, thinking that what the lieutenant general said made sense. If a major accident happened due to negligence, and side issues arose, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?
"That's right, there are only more than 1 people, so it's not easy to kill."

"It's easy to kill. Tomorrow morning, trick them to come out for dinner. Our Tang army's archers are ready. After a few rounds of strafing and bombing, they can kill most of them. The rest are unarmed. It is even more difficult to destroy them." easy."

Hou Junji thought about it for a while, and finally nodded.
-
Early autumn mornings are also cold.

The cold wind last night did not blow away yesterday's bloody smell.

When I woke up the next day, the whole city of Xue Yantuo still had a strong smell of blood.

Hou Junji looked up at the sky, sniffled his nose, and said to himself, "I'm afraid the smell of blood today will never end."

After finishing speaking, he asked the lieutenant next to him, "Are you all ready?"

The lieutenant general nodded: "It's all ready, you can do it at any time."

Hou Junji groaned, then paused for a long time before finally saying: "Okay, let's do it."

There was smoke in the barracks.

The smog lingered, making people's hearts involuntarily filled with joy.

Eating should be a happy thing for anyone, especially under such circumstances.

Those who surrendered Xue Yantuo were no exception.

When they heard that they could go to eat, these surrendered soldiers suddenly showed a rare excitement, and the smiles on their faces increased.

In a big place, these Xue Yantuo soldiers came, but they didn't see any food.

And just when they were complaining, sharp arrows flew like rain.

Immediately afterwards, there was a scream.

But before the screams had time to spread, they were suppressed by the rumbling sound.

The rumbling sound made the screams less clear.

Blood, fragments, anger, and despair...

Xue Yantuo's surrendered soldiers kept screaming and roaring amidst the sound of artillery fire, but they had no weapons, and they were completely powerless to fight against Tang Jun's equipment.

They want to run away, but their retreat has already been blocked by the Tang army. If they want to escape, is that so easy?

"kill……"

After the sharp arrows and the thundering sound stopped, Hou Junji gave an order, and those Tang soldiers rushed over.

Although they were killing soldiers, they could still take these heads as military exploits.

So after an order was given, these crazy Tang soldiers who rushed to kill, with one head, could exchange several acres of land after returning, don't want it for nothing.

Charge to kill, charge to kill.

An hour later, there were [-] more corpses in this open space, and these corpses made the bloody smell nearby even stronger.

Hou Junji didn't show up, he just sent someone to pass a word: "Buried!"

The head can be kept, but the body must be buried.

After finishing these tasks, the generals of the Tang Army rested in Xue Yantuo for a few days, and then, under the leadership of Hou Junji, they chased and killed those Xue Yantuo soldiers who had fled before.

The fleeing Xue Yantuo soldiers and horses are not many, but there are also many, and these people scattered in all directions, and it will not be a matter of overnight to solve them.

However, without the worries of those surrendered troops, Hou Junji and his team were very efficient. In about a month, they wiped out all the absconding rebels in Xue Yantuo's territory.

Then, the class teacher returned to court.

And when their class teacher returned to the court, the news that Hou Junji had killed Xue Yantuo had already returned to Chang'an City, and soon spread in Chang'an City.
