Chapter 162 Blood Sacrifice

Hear this number.

Li Zheng was also stunned.

After commanding the army for so long, this is the first time that Li Zheng's men have suffered such heavy casualties.

Each living person, each living Paoze brother, will remain on this battlefield forever.

but.

Facing the attack of 50,000 rebel cavalry, there were tens of thousands of rebel infantry, totaling more than 100,000 troops.

Li Zheng was able to defeat the rebels at the cost of more than 10,000 casualties. This was already an impossible thing.

"Take all the brothers' bodies outside the city and bury them well outside Yanqing City."

"Also, I will sacrifice the blood of these bastards in the city to these fallen brothers."

"Go."

Li Zheng sighed.

"Yes."

Su Dingfang nodded, turned around and left.

"One general will eventually become an eternity."

Li Zheng sighed and muttered to himself.

……

An hour later.

Outside Yanqing City.

Suburban mountains.

At this moment, more than 100,000 people gathered here, including the soldiers of the bandit army, the defenders of Tongcheng, and more of them the common people of Yanqing City.

now.

Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of people.

Li Zheng stood in front of a series of graves. There were thousands of graves. In front of each grave was a tombstone with the names and birthplaces of these fallen heroes, as neatly as they had been during their lifetimes.

"Bros."

"sorry."

"I broke my promise."

"Before we launch the army, I promise you that I will take you home."

"But, I didn't do it."

Li Zheng stared at the thousands of graves in front of him, where his robes lay, following his brothers through life and death.

A brother who sacrificed his life under the orders of his general Li Zheng.

As Li Zheng watched, tears shed from his eyes and fell to the ground.

"Brothers, you are all heroes. You went into battle to kill the enemy and defend your home and country. I will never forget your achievements, my brothers will not forget them, and the people of the Tang Dynasty will never forget them."

"Brothers, have a good trip."

"Your brother, your General Li Zheng, is sending you on your way."

"Your family... I, Li Zheng, will definitely take good care of you."

"Rest in peace brothers..."

Li Zheng's voice was hoarse and he shouted loudly, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

Suddenly.

Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of people.

Li Zheng bent his knees and knelt down directly facing the thousands of graves.

See this scene.

Everyone was shocked.

"General."

Su Dingfang and Zhao Ming shouted.

But the next moment.

Neither of them said much.

Silently he knelt down behind Li Zheng.

After them.

One by one, the soldiers of the bandit army and the Tongcheng defenders who had just recaptured Yanqing City all knelt down and stared at the thousands of graves.

How could they, as soldiers, not understand brotherhood and love between soldiers?

This is a life-long friendship.

The hundreds of thousands of people in Yanqing City who were watching around couldn't help but burst into tears when they saw this scene. As ordinary people, how could they not understand why they were now out of the sea of ​​suffering? It was because of these brave soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who protected Their soldiers.

"Folks."

"Send my hero of the Tang Dynasty on his way."

One of the people shouted loudly.

Hundreds of thousands of people all knelt down.

"Thank you for your bloody battle and driving those aliens out."

"You protected us with your lives."

"Thanks…"

Countless people murmured, and tears couldn't stop flowing down. "Bros."

Get on the road.

"Rest in peace."

Li Zheng shouted loudly.

"Brothers, get on your way..."

All the soldiers of the bandit army and the soldiers of the Tongcheng garrison shouted loudly. Countless soldiers had tears in their eyes and their voices were hoarse.

They send the robes again, and the comrades are on their last journey.

After continuing for a while.

Li Zheng stood up slowly, but his face had turned cold: "Bring those bastards up.",

echoed.

Thousands of soldiers escorted more than a thousand rebel soldiers to these graves. Every look in the eyes of these soldiers was full of fear.

It seemed that he also expected what Li Zheng was going to do.

"General, we have surrendered. We are willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Don't kill us."

"Yes, we have surrendered. General, please show some mercy. What our leader ordered during the rebellion has nothing to do with us, General..."

"Spare your life, General..."

Each of the surrendered soldiers begged for mercy in fear. Their hands were tied. At this moment, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Kneel down."

Li Zheng shouted coldly.

"Kneel down."

All the soldiers kicked him down, and all the more than a thousand soldiers were forced to kneel on the ground, facing the graves of those soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who died for the country.

"Can you survive by surrendering?"

"You may think too simply."

"In the beginning, when the Turks oppressed you, it was I, the Tang Dynasty, who took in your Xue Yantuo tribe and treated you as people of the Tang Dynasty. But you are a bunch of bastards who did not care about the grace of the Tang Dynasty. You slaughtered our soldiers who were guarding the Tang Dynasty and massacred our people on the border of the Tang Dynasty. , captured the city of our Tang Dynasty and massacred the innocent people of our Tang Dynasty."

"Can these be uncovered by surrendering?"

Li Zheng glanced at these surrendered soldiers coldly and roared angrily.

"This...all this was ordered by the leader."

"It has nothing to do with... us."

A soldier said in horror.

"When you raped and plundered, did you ever think about today?"

"When you were killing innocent people wantonly, did you ever think about today?"

"That day."

"When I came to Youzhou, I told all the soldiers..."

Li Zheng's eyes were full of ferocity, and his murderous intent was undisguised: "That means blood debts need to be paid with blood!"

"You inhumane bastards don't deserve to live in this world."

"In front of the tombs of thousands of heroic souls of the Tang Dynasty, and in front of hundreds of thousands of people who have been bullied by you and others, I will sacrifice my blood to you and others."

The words fell.

Li Zheng waved his hand vigorously: "Cut them all."

"The general is wise."

"The general is wise..."

All the officers and soldiers who were watching, and the people of the Tang Dynasty shouted in unison, with the eagerness for revenge in their eyes.

"Subordinates take orders."

The officers who carried out the execution were the infantry of the Dang Kou Army. They held Mo Dao and quickly came to the escorted soldiers.

"General...I was wrong, please spare my life."

"General..."

More than a thousand surrendered soldiers were terrified and begging frantically for mercy.

But all to no avail.

"cut!"

Li Zheng drank coldly.

More than a thousand soldiers of the Dangkou army raised their swords and dropped them.

Click! !

Only the sound of the knife cutting through the fragile bones was heard. More than a thousand heads of surrendered soldiers fell to the ground. Blood spread all over the mountain suburbs and dyed the earth red.

Watch this scene.

There was a sense of joy in everyone's eyes, the joy of revenge.

"General, all the offal has been disposed of, what should we do with their bodies?"

Su Dingfang came forward and asked respectfully.

"Find a mass grave, dig a hole and bury them all."

Li Zheng said coldly.

Do a bunch of ungrateful bastards who killed the people of the Tang Dynasty still want to have a mausoleum?
