Lord Moyu was forced to open

After the military order was issued, the casualties in the Song Dynasty were quickly reduced. With advance precautions, those women and children with little combat effectiveness could not cause any damage to the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

But they didn't know when the sudden attack suddenly caused trouble for the Song Army.

Just when Zhao Chongguo was having a headache, Li Dingguo, who was the deputy commander this time, made a proposal.

However, after his proposal was made, everyone present fell silent for a moment. Zhao Chongguo looked at the military general in front of him in astonishment, who was already in his twenties and approaching thirty, and wondered where he could get such murderous intentions.
Massacre the city!

This is the solution given by Li Dingguo. He believes that the reason why these Biguo people still break out in revolts from time to time is because the cost of revolt is low.

The people they attack will not have any impact on their families, and Song Jun's scruples will not affect their families, so they can attack Song Jun without any scruples.

But if in one city or one place, one of the people of the country takes action against the Song army, then the Song army can completely massacre the local city to kill chickens and monkeys. As long as they kill a certain number, the rest will be honest.

Even those who want to be dishonest will be dealt with in advance by those who want to be honest, without posing a threat to the Song Army.

They had done this before in deep reading, and the effect was extremely obvious.

After that, the six counties of Shendu became much more stable.

This is also the consistent behavior of generals who came from the old Yunzhou Army.

For non-Song people, under the influence of Zhao Jun, they have never regarded foreigners as human beings.

Li Dingguo and the soldiers of the original Yunzhou Army had no objection to the massacre of the city, but Zhao Chongguo and the soldiers of the original Tianwu Army couldn't accept it!
Deeply influenced by Confucianism, although they are not scholars, the ominous idea of ​​massacre is still rooted in their minds, and it is difficult for them to accept this approach unless it is a last resort.

Li Dingguo was helpless about the old prince's indecision, but after all, he was his superior, so he had nothing to do.

He had no choice but to send a report to Bianjing alone.

In the days that followed, the most troublesome thing for the Song army was not the attack on the city, but the sudden attack by the local people after they occupied the place.

Although we have taken precautions, there are always times when people are lax, and the number of local people is the largest in the area.

It was impossible to completely stop their sudden attack. In the end, the Song army who died in this sudden attack was far more numerous and more aggrieved than those who died on the battlefield.

And Zhao Jun finally received the report from Li Dingguo in Bianjing.

In his mind, Li Dingguo listed the problems they were currently facing one by one, and at the same time put forward his own suggestions and the old prince's disapproval.

After reading it, Zhao Jun asked Wang Huai'en to get the latest battle report, and found that the number of Song soldiers who died in the hands of local people had exceeded 500, and he fell silent for a while.

Immediately on the morning of the next day, an imperial edict was sent to the front line in front of all officials.

Within Fanbi Kingdom, there is one person in a city who dares to attack the Song Army!
Massacre a city!
Serve as a warning!

Everything puts the lives of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty first!

As soon as this imperial edict was issued, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Many ministers quickly asked Zhao Jun to take back the imperial edict, but Zhao Jun simply withdrew from the court.

When the news spread to the people, the people also had polarized attitudes towards this imperial edict.

There are supporters and opponents.

Supporters believed that since the local people did not respect their identity and launched an attack on the Song Dynasty's army, they were enemies.

In order to allow the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to return safely, it was not a bad idea to kill to stop the killing.

But the opponents think that this is just to add to the sin of killing!
Even if those common people attacked the army of the Song Dynasty, the army of the Song Dynasty should use benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust to influence them, and use gentle methods to prevent them from attacking the army.

However, when the soldiers and civilians who were killed by those women and children and the process of their attack and killing were reported in the Bianjing official newspaper, the military families whose families had died were angry!

The people are also angry! The direction of the wind was reversed in a very short time.

Most people also support this imperial edict.

Even those who were still unwilling to speak honestly kept their mouths shut and did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.

But there are always people who are not afraid of death, but often these people who are not afraid of death are directly physically silenced by the angry people as soon as they show up.

When the imperial edict came to the front line and all the generals gathered, everyone showed an expression of disbelief after listening to the imperial edict.

Zhao Chongguo frowned deeply and turned to look at Li Dingguo.

But Li Dingguo said with an indifferent expression: "Commander, when our army was patrolling yesterday, more than a dozen people were attacked. Four people were killed, five were seriously injured, and the rest suffered varying degrees of minor injuries. Only a few of them were slightly injured. Those who struck decisively were not harmed.”

The generals were silent. What Li Dingguo did not say was that the two soldiers who were not injured were all from the former Yunzhou Army. After the women and children approached the warning range, they only warned them once and immediately launched an attack to take the lead.

Otherwise, judging from the weapons found on the women and children afterwards, I am afraid they would have been attacked as well.

Zhao Chongguo's voice was very heavy and he looked at the generals:

"According to the imperial edict, since our army has been attacked in this city, we should... massacre the city... as a warning.

You guys...who is willing to execute it? "

The generals were silent, this was a massacre of the city!
Li Dingguo on the side stood up decisively:

“Commander, it’s better to be in the end.

Moreover, the general has some experience in this matter. "

Everyone was silent again. Zhao Chongguo glanced at him and didn't want to leave the matter to him, a murderer. However, when he looked at the others, no one was willing to come forward.

In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and nodded.

Early the next morning, the Song army that had already occupied River Valley City withdrew from the city.

The people in the city immediately cheered when they saw this, thinking that they had driven away the invaders.

Only half an hour later, when Li Dingguo led five thousand heavily armed Song troops into the city again, these cheers gradually turned into howls!
But the original excitement in the eyes of those people turned into desperate panic at this moment!
An overwhelming barrage of crossbow arrows!
As long as you see a Piguo person, you will just pass by!

Regardless of gender or age, kill them on sight!

Song Jun also has a good solution for those people hiding in the house.

Song Jun searched every room.

That's all if there is no one around. Once someone is around, let the flamethrowers come forward and burn the entire house!
Burn the house and the people directly to ashes.

It was even easier for those who organized and relied on alleys to resist. Li Dingguo directly ordered people to use extended artillery fire to flatten the alleys where people were hiding, and then the fire-breathing team went up and roasted them with flames!
The team worked in groups of three to gradually clean up.

It can be said that they have been carefully cleaned inside and out!

In one day, five thousand soldiers from the Yunzhou Army cleaned up the river valley city.

When Zhao Chongguo received the news that the mission was completed and led people into the city, all he saw were the corpses being dragged out and burned.

Walking all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, I never heard a single word of the Chinese dialect ringing in my ears. Only the night wind whistled by my ears, bringing with it the strange smell of burning and blood.
