The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 361 Kindness and Cruelty

Facing this large group of well-equipped cavalry that looked like wolves and tigers, the tribe, which was not very young and strong, was quickly defeated.

The remaining old people and children were surrounded by Daqian cavalry.

A rough estimate was that there should be no less than two thousand people.

Looking at this group of murderous cavalry, everyone was trembling with fear.

"What are you going to do with them?"

Miaoyin asked Yunzheng in a low voice, feeling a little nervous for no reason.

Although she knew that these people were enemies, Miaoyin still couldn't bear to see such defenseless old people and children.

Even though she knew that she was being kind as a woman, she still hoped that Yun Zheng would not kill these people.

War is war!

Perhaps, she hopes that Yun Zheng retains a trace of humanity!

She wants her man to be a flesh and blood man, not a cold-blooded butcher.

Yun Zheng called a cavalry captain and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know the rules of killing people on the grassland?"

"Know!"

The Cavalry Captain nodded: "According to the rules on the grassland, if there is a war between tribes, the elderly will not be killed, and those shorter than a horse's legs will not be killed!"

Yun Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at the trembling people, and said in a deep voice: "Since you know, then follow the rules of the grassland!"

In troubled times, kill the Holy Mother first.

Read the book and kill the bad guy first!

Still, it’s good to keep a little bit of humanity.

He can abide by the rules on the grassland!

But correspondingly, Beihuan must also abide by his rules.

Listening to Yunzheng's words, Miaoyin suddenly felt relieved.

Fortunately, Yun Zheng did not order all these people to be killed.

"Yes!"

The cavalry captain took the order and left.

While Captain Qi was taking people to measure the heights of the children, Yun Zheng ordered people to bury pots and make rice in the tribe. When Qin Qihu and the others arrived, they should be able to catch a bite of food.

In this battle, although they attacked suddenly, due to the resistance of the tribesmen, they still received two more seriously injured people.

Fortunately, Miaoyin knows some medical skills, and the tribe also has a small amount of medicinal materials, which can help them treat them.

More than half an hour later, Qin Qihu led the people behind and arrived.

After this journey, the injuries of their dozen or so seriously wounded soldiers became even more serious.

Yunzheng ordered people to carry all the seriously injured people into the camp and asked Miaoyin to give them simple treatment.

The rest of the people are also busy with their own affairs. Those who should be vigilant should be vigilant, and those who should be fed the war horses should feed the war horses.

Although there is not much food in this tribe, there is still a lot of fodder, enough for their war horses to have a full meal.

Just as Yunzheng was immersed in thinking about his next plan, Qin Qihu came over and said with a smile: "I believe now that you will not rebel easily!"

"Oh?"

Yunzheng raised his head, "Why?"

Qin Qihu smacked his lips and said: "You didn't even kill the old people and children like Beihuan, which proves that you have benevolent intentions! You should not rebel until it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, our people will suffer again. The pain of war..."

Qin Qihu was very supportive of Yunzheng's decision.

As for war, it is simply impossible not to kill some innocent people.

But no matter how much you kill, there is a bottom line.

Although there have been many generals who led their troops to massacre cities in wars throughout the ages, they are only a handful after all.

War is ruthless, but it is better to have more humanity in war.

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled: "It's not about benevolence, I just want to retain some humanity! I also hope that no matter how we fight with Beihuan, we can set a bottom line for each other..."

Of course, he also knew that this was a bit taken for granted.

He abides by the rules of war, but others may not.

But he wanted to give it a try.

It's good for them too.

"Correct!"

Qin Qihu nodded and patted Yunzheng's shoulder heavily, "It's a good thing to have a bottom line! I hope you will always be a person with a bottom line!"

"Okay, stop being sensational."

Yun Zheng looked at Qin Qihu with a smile and asked, "When you came here, were there any pursuers?"

"no!"

Qin Qihu laughed and said, "I sent people to look behind the butt. All the pursuers have settled on the guard side. They are probably going to spend the night there. However, their horses are destined to be hungry tonight, haha... …”

At this time, people's food rations can be easily solved.

If it doesn't work, just kill the war horses to satisfy the hunger, it is better than starving to death.

Killing five hundred war horses would barely be enough to feed 10,000 or 20,000 people.

But the rations for the war horses are difficult to solve.

Not to mention the food and grass in Weibian, even the withered grass on both sides of the Baishui River tributary, Yunzheng had people burn it!

The pursuers behind them wanted to fill their horses' bellies, but it was even more difficult.

"That's good!"

Yunzheng nodded slightly and reminded: "Despite this, we still have to be vigilant and be careful of the pursuers turning cavalry into infantry and marching overnight to attack the camp!"

They traveled long distances for a day. During this period, the war horses were replenished with fodder and bean feed. Many of the war horses were almost exhausted.

It would be impossible for the pursuing horses behind them to attack them with cavalry without being replenished with fodder and beans.

But if the cavalry is changed into infantry, it is still possible to kill them.

"No way?"

Qin Qihu said in astonishment: "You turned your cavalry into infantry and came here to die?"

How can it be so easy for infantry to travel long distances on this day?

By the time they came over, everyone was paralyzed from exhaustion, and they were still having a fight!

"Don't underestimate the pursuers' determination to kill us."

Yun Zheng said sternly: "If they don't attack the camp at all costs today, they will have no chance to catch up with us later! If it were me, I would definitely attack the camp tonight. Even if the whole army is wiped out, I will still cause heavy damage to the enemy. , so that the enemy loses the capital to run rampant in our rear! Otherwise, their losses will be even greater..."

Is that so?

Qin Qihu thought for a while, nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

The two chatted for a while, and Qin Qihu sent someone to investigate the situation. Yun Zheng continued to think there.

According to the current situation, it is impossible for the pursuers behind them to catch up with them.

If the enemy's general is smart enough, he should give up pursuing them and turn the pursuit into an volley.

Only in this way can it be possible to block them on the opposite side of Split Wind Canyon.

If the pursuing horses cannot get any fodder and bean feed, it is estimated that there is no hope of even intercepting them.

With such thick snow, if a man were to run with their horses, they would tire the pursuers to death!

After thinking silently for a while, Yun Zheng slowly stood up.

Not long after, Yun Zheng came outside the tent where the seriously injured people were.

Not long after, Miaoyin came out.

"What are you doing standing here?"

Miaoyin looked at Yunzheng suspiciously.

"How are the people inside?"

Yunzheng asked in a low voice.

Miaoyin's expression dimmed, and she pulled Yunzheng aside and whispered: "They can't keep tossing like this any longer. If they keep tossing like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive before we return to Shuofang..."

Is that so?

Yunzheng thought silently for a while, "Okay, I understand! I'll go talk to them. You go have something to eat first!"

"All right!"

Miaoyin nodded helplessly.

Soon, Yunzheng opened the curtain of the tent and walked in.

"Your Majesty..."

Seeing Yunzheng, more than a dozen seriously injured people spoke out and wanted to salute, but their bodies did not allow it.

"Okay, it's already like this, so don't do these false courtesy."

Yun Zheng waved his hand, "I came to you to discuss something with you! This matter is related to your lives, and I need you to make your own decision..."
