Chapter 1860: Those who descended avoid death

Just when Wu Jun was packing his luggage, someone shouted loudly: "Wei Bing is here!"

Sure enough, in the north direction, a group of men rushed over quickly. The flag was clearly visible. It was the Wei army's team. Soon they rushed into the Wu army's camp, chopped everyone when they met, and killed the Wu army's camp. The Wu army's camp was in chaos.

The first thing they came to was not another army, but the infantry battalion of the Wei army's army. They crossed the Huai River along the floating bridge in Xiacai, and eliminated the troops stationed by the Wu army at the Huai River Ferry in just a few seconds. Then they rushed south and rushed straight to Shouchun.

Although most of the infantry battalions were infantry, their speed was no less than that of cavalry. Almost all the soldiers trotted all the way. Under the leadership of the infantry general Huangfu Kai, they quickly advanced to the city of Shouchun and met with the Wu army who was about to withdraw. Huangfu Kai immediately ordered the infantry battalion to attack without saying a word.

For the soldiers of the infantry battalion who had been fighting for a long time, they were like dragons just out of the water, tigers just out of the forest, and when their morale was booming, the soldiers screamed and rushed towards the Wu army with a command.

At this time, most of the troops in the Wu army camp had been withdrawn, and some senior officials of the Wu army, including Sun Jing, had already left this place of trouble. Most of the troops left were troops that had just retreated from the siege. They were still packing their luggage, but the Wei army had already reached the sight. They could not bear to do so, so they could only bite the bullet and fight with it.

But the combat capability of the Wei army's infantry battalion is so powerful that if such a team that was first formed and most powerful in combat launched an attack with all its might, even if the Wu army had a neat formation, it would be difficult to match it, let alone the current chaotic situation, and the Wu army barely fought, and it would be impossible to escape the crushing end.

The Wei army was like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, sweeping all the way, as if entering a no one. The Wu army was killed and abandoned their armor and fled in a panic.

But the key point is that the speed of the Wu army is not as good as that of the Wei army. The Wu army is good at water battles. If it comes to water nature and boat control, the Wei soldiers will definitely not be as good as that of the Wei army. But once they get ashore, whether in terms of speed or explosive power, they are too far apart from the Wei army. They are already out of breath after running a few steps.

Although the soldiers of the Wei army had already gone through a long-distance raid, they were still steadily as fast as a tiger. In three steps, they could calmly catch up with the deserters of the Wu army by taking two steps at once. They raised their swords and fell, like chopping melons and vegetables, harvesting one fresh life after another.

The Wu army was furious and frightened. This battle was really impossible to fight again. If it was impossible to fight, it would be impossible to escape. Could it be that this is really their burial place?

At this time, Huangfu Kai ordered the Wei army to shout the slogan "Surrendered to die". The Wu army soldiers immediately fell to a large area of ​​them. After all, no one wanted to die. They ran away desperately just to escape their lives. Now the Wei army is not ready to kill them all, and surrender can avoid death. With such a "good thing", the Wu army soldiers naturally flocked to them.

The Wei army has always adhered to the principle of surrendering and never killing, because Cao Liang knew that in the war, most of the ordinary soldiers were victims, and they were entangled in the war, which was indeed not for one's own love. In essence, most of these soldiers were from poor families, and they even had no right to choose. Therefore, Cao Liang had ordered several times that as long as the prisoners who were willing to put down their weapons and surrendered, no one would be harmed, and all were treated preferentially, and those who were willing to stay in the army would be given food and salary as ordinary soldiers, without any discrimination.

For those who do not intend to stay in the army, they will pay their money and return home according to their own wishes, and properly resettle them and allocate their fields for farming. For those who have difficulties in returning home or whose conditions are not mature, they will adopt the method of resettlement in another place to ensure their lives.

Therefore, the Wei army had a complete set of mature plans for the prisoner of war system. There were countless Sima army surrendering to Cao Liang, not only dismantling the Sima army's power, but also many of the soldiers turned against each other and became front-line pawns to conquer the Sima family, making immortal military achievements for Cao Liang to pacify the world.

Moreover, Cao Liang was only talented and knew what he wanted. Wang Chang, the governor of Huainan, was once a prisoner of war. However, Cao Liang did not belittle him because of his captive status. Instead, he always used it for him. Wei Guan, Yu Chun, Ren Kai, Li Yin and others were originally important officials of the Sima family, but after surrendering to Cao Liang, he was still valued and ranked among the officials of the three provinces and six ministries. It can be seen that Cao Liang's employment has never been treated differently because of his submission.

Therefore, in the Sima army, surrender became a very common thing. As long as it was not a loyal member of the Sima family, they would not only put down their weapons and surrender when they were defeated, but also actively surrendered. As a result, Cao Liang's power became stronger and stronger, while the Sima family gradually declined and could not recover.

The reason is that Cao Liang's camp can treat prisoners well and employ people based on their merits, so that the world will be restored and the people will surrender like a tide.

The Wu army did not know the Wei army's policies. When they saw that the war was unfavorable, they just wanted to escape with their lives. They thought that only by running fast would they have a way to survive. However, they did not know that if they survived, there was not only one way to escape. As long as they put down their weapons and surrendered, they were far more powerful than being tired of running.

What's more, escaping is risky. The Wei army's swords, bows and crossbows are merciless. Once they are caught up by the Wei army, they will definitely be dead and dead.

The Wei army adopted a lenient approach to all surrendered people. As long as you are willing to put down your weapons on the battlefield, you will no longer be an enemy. However, those who resist stubbornly, refuse to surrender, and try to escape will not be so polite and will kill them without mercy.

The Wu army was not sure about the situation before, so the situation of a major fleeing occurred. When they were completely hopeless, the Wei army shouted the slogan "Surrenderers avoid death", which made these Wu soldiers suddenly rekindle their hope of life.

They couldn't help but cry with joy. It turned out that it was so simple to survive on the battlefield. They just needed to put down their weapons.

With the first one, there will be a second one soon. The great defeat of the Wu army quickly turned into a great surrender. Groups of Wu army soldiers surrendered, and the scene was spectacular.

The more people surrendered, the smoother the attack of the Wei army's infantry battalion. After all, it would take some effort to kill so many fleeing Wu troops. However, after most of them surrendered, the Wei army could quickly advance to pursue the main force that escaped from the Wu army.
